Bobbi Brown's Orchid Palette

bobbi Brown orchid palette
Bobbi Brown's Orchid Palette was too tempting to pass up at the Neiman's beauty event this week.  We love that the first two eye colors can be worn everyday, we can wear the bright middle shade when we want our eyes to pop, the darker purple on the right is perfect to intensify our look for nighttime, and the Caviar on the far right is a great liner.

The Pot Rouge is one of our favorite Bobbi Brown products because it's so versatile- they can be used on your cheeks and lips.  This palette comes with three colors. 

The palette is convenient to carry in your purse, take on a trip or just keep on the counter to streamline your beauty routine.  We'll pack this for Miami next week! 

There are two other palettes with different color combinations and as with many of Bobbi's collections they are only around for a limited time.

Here are the color specifics for the Orchid Palette:
Included Eye Shadow Shades: White, Dusty Plum Metallic, Orchid Sparkle, Mulberry, and Caviar
Included Pot Rouge shades: Powder Pink, Pale Pink, and Sand Pink

Adam Lambert Cool Mens Hairstyle

Adam Lambert hair has always been in focus. Adam’s emo hairstyle with black, asymmetrical bangs or fringe, covering his one eye has lots of razored texture to give his hair delicate and distinct edges. His hair is shagged out and has been flattened by ironing with a blue streak that lends him a feminine charm making him look great.

Korres Lip Butter Trio

Korres lip butter trio
When the winter drags on like this year's, there's no surprise we have chapped lips.  Korres lip butter to the rescue.  This lip saver goes on smooth and creamy because of Shea butter and rice wax.  The Korres Lip Butter Trio is a limited edition set and a great deal at $19.50 for three (a $30 value).  I've got one by the sink, one in my purse and one in the car.  My favorite is the Quince because of the great sheer pink tint it leaves on my lips.  You can even use it on your cheeks to brighten up your face.

The review was based on a complimentary sample.

Park City Guest Post

Our friends, Meghan Tidwell and Joy Plemmons, just returned from a girls' trip on Sunday and we were fortunate to get a fresh account of their trip:

Park City, Utah Girls Trip

Park City is a skiers paradise. We recently went there to celebrate a friend’s birthday , and found that it is pretty darn good for a girl’s getaway as well!

After much deliberation, our group chose to ski at Deer Valley, site of many of the 2002 Winter Olympic freestyle skiing events and one of the few resorts in the US that is for skiers only (no boarders allowed). It was the perfect mountain for our varying range of abilities. The 3 ft. of powder we got over the three days made for some AMAZING conditions…. and, thanks to the Sundance Film Festival, lift lines were non-existent. While resting our VERY TIRED legs at lunch, we ate at the Silver Lake Lodge (mid-mountain). The food was delicious, but their Vegetable Pizza was a stand out!! Whole wheat crust with fresh grilled veggies provided us with the much needed energy without all the cheese to slow you down. Also, not to be missed, is the hot cocoa KIOSK at Silver Lake Lodge. It was the BEST cocoa we have ever tasted….served with marshmallows and whip cream.

Park City, Utah Girls Trip

On Thursday night we went to The Spur Bar and Grille. A great spot for listening to talented musicians and meeting the people that Sundance was created for instead of the celebs that show up for the photo ops. Our group met 3 directors, 1 producer and 1 agent - and that’s without leaving our barstools. With an energy provided by the Melvin Taylor Band and the filming of his documentary film, efficient bartenders, a coat check AND heaters to keep you warm while you wait in line…..not much more is needed on a Thursday night In Park City.

Park City, Utah Girls Trip

Friday night, we had a reservation at Wahso. Red balls of light adorn the outside balcony of this beautifully unusual Asian grill. Inside the ambiance is elegant and refined and the cuisine follows suit with a fusion of exotic yet intricate flavors. Our waiter, Peter, was extremely helpful as we navigated our way through the 3 course, fixed, Sundance menu, and was delightfully entertaining the entire evening….not to mention the round or two of champagne he “secretly” slid our way. One detail that people often underestimate, but Wahso gets right, is the round table. Most of the large tables were round and , for a group that likes to celebrate as a group, it is an imperative. On the flip side, Wahso also offers, for more intimate dinners, banquets with velvet curtains for privacy. So whether it’s an intimate dinner for two or a celeb in hiding, you’ll enjoy the privacy.

Brazilian Blowout vs. Keratin Treatment

Last May, I had a Keratin treatment which smooths out your curls and eliminates frizz by depositing Keratin on your hair. It did work well, though it took hours in the salon, my hair smelled terrible for days (think perm circa 1989) and cost a lot- between $250 and $400. On my recent trip to New York for fashion week, I visited the Salon AKS on Fifth Avenue where Zhen gave me a Brazilian Blowout. Here I am before with Zhen:

Brazilian Blowout

Brazilian blowout before

The Brazilian Blowout is less expensive than the Keratin treatment- starting at $150, takes less time (an hour and a half versus three hours), and doesn't use any formaldehyde or other carcinogenic ingredients. While I couldn't confirm what was in the Keratin treatment (I suspect formaldehyde), the fumes alone were enough to tell me it wasn't good.  The Brazilian Blowout had almost no smell at all and claims to have no carcinogens.  Lastly, I could wash my hair the following day with the Brazilian Blowout where I had to wait three long days with Keratin treatment.

Zhen started by washing my hair and then applying the solution (pictured below).  Then he dried my hair completely and straightened it with a flat iron, which seals in the product.  The next step was another cycle: this time washing, drying and finishing again with the flat iron.

brazilian Blowout

You can see from the picture below (this time with Anne who had her hair blown out at AKS while I was there) that my hair is much smoother and thinner looking.  Rest assured it fluffed up after a couple of washings and is now smooth, shiny and straight.  Results are supposed to last upwards of three months, especially if I use gentle sulfate-free shampoo.

Lacey Brown Hairstyle

Lacey Brown, I love the look, soulfoul voice, she's cute and I love her hair too.
Her rendition of "What a Wonderful World" from Hollywood round was great and very endearing and what a great attitude about not getting through last year. I really liked Megan Joy (who got thru instead of her) but Megan didn't quite deliver although she was good. I'm glad Lacey was given another chance this week. Some people say her hairstyle is called "The Suspicious Duchess".

On Our Radar: W Miami

W South Beach

Seeing as we're in the middle of snow-icane 2010, all we can think about is our trip to Miami next week, when we'll be staying at the new W South Beach. Believe us when we say that with all the new hotels in Miami, making our decision of where to stay was harder than ever!

We most recently spoke about the W back in January during our Beach Week. What attracted us to the hotel, which opened back in July, is its prime beachfront location on Collins Ave., the sexy infinity edge pool and that it's home to Mr. Chow's restaurant--always a party scene in NYC--and our favorite Bliss Spa. And the fact that it has 6 different bars sure didn't hurt either!

W South Beach pool

It was not a unanimous decision, however.  Our one friend ruled out the W at the get-go because she feared the rooms would be small (as they admittedly are at some branches);  but even the smallest rooms at the W in Miami ring at 500+ square feet. Then we had drinks in L.A. with our favorite travel agent who told us that her clients have been raving about the property, especially the phenom service.

W

Once we were finally able to pull some strings and get ourselves a deal on an Oasis Suite, we were sold! Now the only questions left: Where to go for dinner? What clubs to go to? And most important of all, what to pack?

Check back next week to follow us on our trip! We leave Thursday!

4 Easy Steps to Shiny, Healthy Hair


The key to creating any gorgeous hairstyle is to start with healthy, shiny hair. Guest editor and NYC salon owner Sam Brocato shares his best beauty tips on how to score healthy hair even after months of winter abuse. Sam and his team have worked with countless celebrities including Britney Spears, Hilary Duff, and Claire Danes.

Photo: © Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images

Step 1: Lather Up Gently

Basic winter hair care starts with a gentle shampoo that won't strip hair of moisture. Try to shampoo less than 3 times a week and use a dry shampoo in between washings. If you simply can't part with a favorite shampoo or daily wash, blend two parts shampoo with one part conditioner for added moisture. If you're ready for something new, try a conditioning treatment that has a mild foaming agent like my Brocato Constructor.

Step 2: Sleep On It

Put the beauty back into beauty sleep by using an overnight hair treatment. Place a hair mask from the mid shaft of wet or dry hair down to protect against moisture loss during the night. Repeat this process as often as like since there is no such thing as over-conditioning hair.

Step 3: Give Your Scalp Some TLC

Just like the skin on your face and body, your scalp gets drier in the winter. If it seems tight and flaky, treat it to a massage. Knead your head for two minutes every evening to boost healthy blood circulation and slough off dead skin cells.

Step 4: Feed Your Hair

You are what you eat. Consuming foods rich in essential fatty acids can do wonders for making your hair look shiny and thick. I suggest adding more avocados, walnuts, and almonds to your daily diet during the winter. Here's a great avocado hair mask recipe--it's so natural, you can even drink it! In a blender, combine one very ripe avocado with one tablespoon each of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Blend until the texture is creamy, then massage onto damp hair and put on a shower cap. Step into a hot shower to steam your hair for ten minutes before rinsing. The apple cider vinegar really adds to hair shine!

Lauren Conrad's Carry On Bag

Lauren Conrad


Lauren Conrad has had many jobs. After finishing up a long stink as reality TV star on shows such as Laguna Beach and The Hills, she currently splits her time between writing books (That's her on Feb. 18 signing Sweet Little Lies), designing for her namesake label and as spokesperson for mark cosmetics. Needless to say, all the above requires a lot of travel and she is undoubtedly a stylish jet setter. I got a chance to ask her about her must have beauty items and essential wardrobe pieces while traveling when she was in NYC last month raising awareness about m.powerment by mark.


When traveling, LC always packs a couple of blazers, skinny jeans and heels. For beauty, she's a big fan of mark cosmetics' hookups since they are the best way to take multiple shades and save space. To get her signature perfect cat-eye on the road, she packs mark On the Edge eyeliner in Cleo. To camouflage any tiredness and puffiness from lack of sleep and rest while traveling, LC uses mark Get Bright Hook Up Highlighter. She finishes off her travel beauty look with m.powerment gold lip gloss which she likes to layer on top of her lipstick for extra shine or wear it alone for a nude look.

Beaver Creek: The Westin Riverfront

Beaver Creek: The Westin Riverfront

We spent three nights at the Westin Riverfront Resort, in Avon, Colorado at the end of January.  This beautiful new property lies at the base of the Beaver Creek ski area and has its own gondola to shuttle you up the mountain, which was one of the best features of our stay.  The ski valet located at the base of the elevators and just steps from the gondola made getting on and off the mountain that much easier.

Our spacious suite had floor to ceiling windows,

a wrap around deck, and sweeping views of the mountain range.  We had a full sized and fully stocked kitchen.  The bathrooms have the Heavenly dual shower head with the option to use only one of the heads to save water.  The Westin's commitment to the environment went further:  there are recycle bins, energy saving appliances and lighting, an opt out for new sheets and towels, and a $5 resort credit each day you choose to not use housekeeping.

The uber-comfy beds have Heavenly sheets, down comforters and pillows and iPod docking stations.   The only thing that interrupted our sleep was the heat in the room which crept up during the night, prompting us to crack the patio door.


Beaver Creek The Westin Riverfront bedroom

There were three outdoor infinity hot tubs looking over the mountains and a lap pool.  There's also a huge gym with yoga and spin studios.  The staff at the gym specialize in triathlon training, not that we had any energy after a long day on the mountain.  The fabulous Spa Anjali is adjacent to the pool.    Here's the unforgettable view from our room:

Beaver Creek The Westin Riverfront room view 

We ski Vail and Beaver Creek each year; but normally stay with friends.  This was one of the best trips we've had and one that we'd readily recommend to all of our friends.  The Westin is currently offering a "buy three nights/get the fourth night free" package as well as a winter ski getaway package that includes lift tickets, breakfast for two and valet parking.

The Jet Set Girls were given a special rate during our stay.

What to Do if Your Flight Is Canceled

line at an airport

With all the snow this past month, we're sure you know someone who had a flight canceled. At one point in February, 49 of the 50 states reportedly had snow! Wendy Perrin of Condé Nast Traveler had it happen to her and her family on flights to Hawaii and shares her experience of rebooking her canceled flights.

We have a few tips of our own to add from our own experience:
1. If your flight gets canceled while you're at the airport, don't join the line of 50+ angry passengers all getting help from the one tired gate agent. Well, do, but simultaneously, break out your phone and call the airline's 800 number. Chances are, you'll ge through faster on the phone.

2. Be nice. Our friend Heidi had her United flight from L.A. to  D.C. canceled on our recent girls' getaway the day before her flight. Heidi called United and spent an hour plus on hold. When she finally got patched through, the customer service agent rebooked her to get home on a red eye and gave her a $400 credit for not yelling like every other customer apparently had that day. Heidi credits the laid back L.A. vibe for her good humor.
