butter LONDON Nail Polish Collection
I had the luxury to discover the butter London nail polish collection backstage at Betsey Johnson Spring 2009 Collection. I was in love with the funky shades, particularly the super sparkly butter London in Rosie Lee. What I also noticed that Rosie Lee was layered with other shades, such as: British Racing Green. The overall effect complimented Betsey Johnson’s super funky and playful collection. Other shades include: Minger. Scoundrel. Pearly Queen.
What else: butter LONDON stormed NYC Fashion Week this season (SS 2010), with the introduction of British Racing Green. Hand mixed by their Creative Director Nonie Creme for the Vena Cava show, this shade has already been noticed by Vogue, W Magazine, Lucky, Ladies Home Journal, and Redbook.

Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo
Lately I’m giving the Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo a go. First time for me! I’m still getting the hang of using it. I put a little bit on my ends and tiny on the roots. If your hair is oily, the powder works well in controlling that too oily feeling. I wouldn’t skip my wash entirely with this dry shampoo. But on the days I haven’t washed my hair this product makes my hair smell good and refreshed. Verdict: it’s a keeper. Available at Sephora and sephora.com
Celebrities at the 2009 AMA: Carrie Underwood, Fergie, Shakira
Here are my celebrity picks from the 2009 AMA (American Music Awards)!
Carrie Underwood: I love Carrie’s entire look here: the dress, hair and makeup, but, the look is a bit soft and not so edgy rock and roll.
Fergie: Fergie’s dark brown hair color is growing on me. I like the sparkly dress. Fergie’s look here is a bit more rock and roll.
Shakira: My list is evolving in the order of edgy rock and roll. LOL. Number 3 is beautiful Shakira (“I get that a lot” that I look like Shakira. wow. Thanks guys:). Shaira’s dress reminds me of a gladiator costume.

To get my hair silky smooth and frizz free is sometimes a mission. So many times I spend up to 1 hour blow drying my hair and my hair keeps frizzy. Sounds familiar? Not this weekend though.
