Personalized haircare from Profound Beauty

I recently had the opportunity to try a sample of the Profound Beauty shampoo and conditioner. I am a huge fan of the styling cream and serums (hello curl cream!) and was interested to see if the cleansing products could impress me as much. I really liked how they breakdown the products for each specific need to make a more personalized pair that was right for my hair.

I tried the 90 shampoo and 10 conditioner and they are doing wonders for my hair. With really curly hair I seem to either be too dry or too weighed down by most cleansers. Profound Beauty 90/10 really balanced my hair out, conditioning it enough so my hair wasn’t dry but didn’t over condition weighing down the curls. And let me tell you these products smell delicious! I am so sad I am near the bottom and I have been shaking the bottles like a salt shaker trying to get every last drop.

What is Cameron Diaz’s secret to looking so youthful? “Lots of Sex!”

Ask most people about their tricks for staying youthful, and their tips, more often than not, sound less than exciting: A miracle cream here, an hour on the StairMaster there.

The Cameron Diaz plan, on the other hand, sounds like anything but a chore.

”The fountain of youth, let’s see. I guess it’s exercise, healthy diet, lots of water, lots of laughter, lots of sex,” reveals the cover girl in the July issue of British Vogue.

“Yes, sex, we need that as human beings. It’s healthy, it’s natural, it’s what we’re here to do.”

Though photographed regularly in leg-baring short-shorts, minidresses and bikinis, the 37-year-old actress, who has been romantically linked to Alex Rodriguez and Justin Timberlake, among other notable hunks, is modest about her stunning California surfer girl looks.

“I might as well enjoy it while I’ve still got something,” says Diaz, a veritable poster child of aging well.

“You’ve got to be realistic,” she says. “I mean, I don’t want to look 25 again.”

The lovely Gwen Stefani on the cover of InStyle UK

How do you and Gavin coordinate your outfits for a red-carpet event – is his outfit based on your dress?

“We just do our own thing and it always seems to work. He has such great style. I get ideas from a lot of his clothes for the women’s clothing line, because I like that kind of mixture. I use a lot of stuff in his closet. I’ll be, like, ‘Ooh, we should do a girl version of this!’”

Gwen Stefani on her signature red lipstick

You’ve even worn red lipstick while jogging. Is there any time you don’t wear it?

“No, I wear it all the time! I wear pink, I wear gloss, I wear everything, but my husband prefers when I wear red, so I want him to like me still! I remember the first time I ever wore dark lipstick. I was maybe 18 and I can remember the moment I put it on – in my Honda Prelude that I bought for like, $3,000 [about £1,950] – and looking in the mirror going, ‘Good, I like that’. Never again did I stop wearing it.”

Avril Lavigne releases her own fragrance!

Another day, another celebrity fragrance! Here is the first look at the Sk8ter Boi singer’s new fragrance, Forbidden Rose. Last year she released her fragrance Black Star.

It’s supposed to smell of red apple, winepeach, black pepper, lotusflower, heliotrope, shellflower, praline agreement, sandalwood and vanilla. Sounds exotic! Just like with Black Star, there is a detachable ring accessory under the rose cap.
