Hilary Duff’s Hair
Suave Professionals Celebrity Stylist Marcus Francis chopped off three inches of Hilary Duff’s hair last week, creating a blunt “lob,” or long bob, that will be popping up on the scene this summer as the cut to flaunt during the warmer months. Check out the photos below to see the transformation in action!
“The cut is slightly angled with a shorter length in the back than the front for a chic, edgy finish,” says Marcus.

What should women ask for at the salon that want this cut?

Brazilian Blowout
Five Common Misconceptions About the Brazilian Blowout, Mèche Salon Stylist Debunks Misconceptions.
Brazillian Blowout
The summer months are when our tresses need the most TLC. This summer, consider a Brazilian blowout to improve the overall condition and appearance of your hair. The treatment creates a protective protein layer around each strand, eliminating frizz and smoothing out any split ends. The result is smooth, shiny and healthy hair that requires less maintenance time! It’s the perfect treatment to get shiny, radiant summer locks.
Mario Mendoza, the Brazilian blowout expert at Mèche Salon in Los Angeles, says that although the treatment has been around for years now, there are still quite a few misunderstandings about the process and results. Mendoza gives us a list of five common misconceptions and the real facts to help clear up the confusion
1. The Formaldehyde Exposure Is Bad For You
According to Mendoza, formaldehyde is actually more common in our environment than we may think. It is found in many products we use on a day-to-day basis such as various hand soaps and nail polishes. The amount of formaldehyde used when heat is added during a Brazilian blowout is actually quite minor. It is also important to remember that the methylene glycol fumes are outside your body during the procedure, not inside. Nevertheless, Mèche Salon has an outdoor station where all Brazilian blowouts are performed in case clients still find the fumes worrisome. Mendoza likes to put it this way: If we have to breathe the air of LA every day, we can handle a Brazilian blowout three times a year.
Good Skincare For Flawless Makeup
Celebrity makeup artist Nick Barose created the gorgeous, glowing look of Gugu Mbatha-Raw using Juara skincare products for her red carpet premiere of ‘Belle’ tonight in NYC.
“Gugu is wearing a green dress that has a gorgeous golden sheen to it. Her jewelry has purple tones to it, so we went with a subtle eye incorporating purple but keeping it soft.
Celebrity makeup artist Nick Barose created the gorgeous, glowing look of Gugu Mbatha-Raw using Juara skincare
The whole look tonight is fresh, spring, sun kissed skin with soft, plum smokey eyes and peach lips and cheeks.
I began by prepping Gugu’s skin with the Juara Tamarind Tea Hydrating Toner, which gave her a bit of hydration. Since the weather’s getting warmer, I used Juara’s Sweet Black Tea & Ginger Mattefying Moisturizer to keep the skin from turning oily on the red carpet. I massaged it into her skin thoroughly using my fingertips and let it absorb. Even though the product is great at controlling oils, it still leaves the skin supple and creates the perfect canvas for makeup. Next, I gently massaged in Juara’s Sweet Black Tea Eye Crème to prep under the eyes and on the lids, and then blotted with a tissue.
Lancome Lip Lover
The next best thing that happen to Lancome after Juicy Tubes (remember these way back…) is their NEW Lancome Lip Lover Dewy Color Lip Perfector 8 hour Moisture…and I’m loving it. It’s pigmented nicely, smells nice…I would say slight fruity (not heavy vanilla or buttery/soapy ), it’s doesn’t tingle, not sticky, it’s smooth a and silky. If you have dry or mature lips it will bring them back to life with long lasting hydration. My shade: Lip Lover in Orange Manege. Texture: it’s an hybrid of a lipstick, lipgloss, and a lip balm. I’m loving it.

To add contrast and light to the lid, I also added Diorshow Fusion Mono Mirror Shine Eyeshadow in Aventure, a beautiful glittery silver.” – Daniel Martin
