Trish McEvoy, Laura Mercier & Bobbi Brown Design Havaianas for Charity:Water
Makeup artists Trish McEvoy, Laura Mercier & Bobbi Brown design limited edition Havaianas benefiting charity: water.
charity: water.
Saks Fifth Avenue and Havaianas announce the launch of “Beauty Splash,” an exclusive collection to benefit charity: water. In stores for the month of June, a collaboration between Havaianas and the three most celebrated women in beauty – Trish McEvoy, Laura Mercier, and Bobbi Brown – will be featured. Whereas typically the face is the canvas on which these artists work, Havaianas has provided them the opportunity to express their inspiration for summer on a whole new surface.
Working closely with the Havaianas design team, each woman was invited to translate her artistic sensibility for the season into a pair of the brand’s signature must-have sandals.
Trish McEvoy wanted to bring to her sandal design the feeling of a walk on the beach-her favorite way to relax. “My colors this season brighten your complexion and call to mind the deep blues of the ocean, the pearlescent shades inside a seashell, and the glitter of the sand-taking you on an instant vacation.”

Bike Builder Jesse James Designs Men’s Dopp Kit For Kiehl’s
As a throwback to Kiehl’s spirit of adventure and decades-old passion for vintage motorcycles, the Kiehl’s family are humbled to announce that Kiehl’s has teamed up with West Coast Chopper owner JESSE JAMES to design a LIMITED EDITION MEN’S DOPP KIT, the ultimate gift for dad this FATHER’S DAY. Mr. James is also working on the design and construction of the first custom “Kiehl’s Chopper” to be unveiled in Kiehl’s Santa Monica store this June.
Long Beach native and master builder JESSE JAMES designs just 10 bikes a year – making for a rather lengthy waiting list for his coveted custom machines with trademark features like massive stretched-out front forks and 140-horsepower engines shaped from aircraft-grade aluminum.
In addition to the custom “Kiehl’s Chopper,” James has designed a LIMITED EDITION MEN’S DOPP KIT, so that all Kiehl’s customers can get a piece of the motorcycle aesthetic. The distressed, rugged pack is embossed with a one-of-a-kind emblem and will be stocked with a selection of James’ favorite Kiehl’s grooming items, including White Eagle Shave Cream and Ultimate Man Scrub Bar.

Beach Proof Mani/Pedi
On the hunt for the secret for making your manicure and pedicure last during the beach season? Neri Ortega, nail expert of Butterfly Studio Salon in New York City, recommends the following for a long lasting, perfect manicure without chipping:
1. Following a hand massage, it is vital to clean the nail bed twice with acetone free nail polish remover to make sure that there are no emollients left on the nail-a clean, oil free nail bed is the most important part of lasting manicure, as it creates a clean surface to begin on.
2. Continue with a protein based base coat-this is key in keeping polish from chipping. A strengthening treatment like OPI’s Nail Envy, works wonderfully to keep nails strong, and polish from chipping.

3. Following the application of polish, a good basic top coat is needed. Neri recommends Essie, and prefers classic top coats over ‘quick dry’ as she finds quick dry top coats tend to peel faster.
4. Pushing back cuticles rather than cutting them will also help a manicure last longer. To keep nail polish looking shiny and new, and cuticles from looking dull and ashy, she recommends a good cuticle moisturizer like Solar Oil (by Creative Nail Design)-the treatment will multi-task to keep your manicure going for extra days.
