Frédéric Fekkai at The Mark Hotel
Last month during my visit to New York City for Fashion Week I stopped by at Frédéric Fekkai at The Mark Hotel to get my hair blow dried. It was a much needed blow out. The New York weather makes my hair so frizzy, and what I call” “poofy” i.e. too much volume (LOL I’m not even sure this word exist in the English dictionary). And running around town all day, whose got time to do their own hair?!!
Fabulous Anthony at the NEW Fekkai Madison at The Mark Hotel just gave me Hollywood waves! Luv him:)
I crossed Central Park in a cab all the way to the East Side and arrived at the Frédéric Fekkai at The Mark Hotel. The building was so pretty and newly renovated which is kind of rare for NYC, everything is normally so ancient. My service was impeccable, and the best part was that I got to do my nails and my hair at the same time. I felt like I can totally can get used this life. Wouldn’t you?:)
Marta’s nails in Essie Sexy Divine gorge deep black-ish purple:Mani by Gabriela at Fekkai salon The Mark hotel NYC
Loved my hair stylist Anthony! He blew dry my hair and gave the perfect Hollywood curls without even using a curling iron. And Gabriela who did my nails with Essie Sexy Divine did a great job in making my manicure last for 4 days! I yet need to investigate which top coat she used on my nails. I assume it was Essie as well.

Megan Fox Cosmopolitan Magazine Cover October 2009
Megan Fox is gracing the cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine October 2009. Wait, it’s not October yet! Nonetheless, I don’t mind the sneak peek to Megan’s cover. I approve Megan’s hairstyle. You can never go wrong with straight smooth hair parted in the middle. I do it all the time, lol:)
Wonder how to get Megan Fox’s look on the cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine October 2009? Here are some tips!
I detect grey nail polish. To get Megan Fox’s grey nails try MAC Hello Kitty Nail Polish in On The Prowl.
To get Megan Fox’s sexy long eye lashes try ÔSCILLATION POWERBOOSTER by Lancôme: A two-in-one vibrating lash primer and conditioner that boosts the appearance of lash growth. HYPNÔSE DRAMA Instant Full Body Volume Mascara by Lancôme: The ultimate instant-volume mascara for lash drama. I use both the lash primer and mascara by Lancôme and they work amazing in getting my lashes super long, full, and Hollywood worthy.
To add more drama and difintion to eyes use a black eye liner to upper lash line, and the corner of eyes try: Prescriptives NEW Longwear Kohl Liner in black hohl. Or, Givenchy Magic Kajal Eye Pencil in magic black.
