The stars of the new romantic comedy “Morning Glory” came together on Sunday, November 7th at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City to celebrate the movie’s premiere. Leading lady, Rachel McAdams, looked stunning and sultry on the red carpet with tousled, textured hair styled by Sebastian Professional Stylist Design Team Member Thomas Dunkin. After collaborating with the makeup artist and wardrobe stylist on Rachel’s final look, Thomas chose to craft a sexy, voluminous coif with a punch of rock star glam as an unexpected and unpredictable anecdote to the star’s gray strapless dress.

To achieve this sexy rocker chic ‘do, Thomas shares a step-by-step how-to for the A-list actress’ style:

1. Saturate freshly washed hair with Sebastian Professional Volupt Spray for heat protection and touchably soft volume.

2. Rough dry with hands and blow-dryer lifting random sections while twisting hair in different directions until very nearly dry.

3. Place hair in very large Velcro rollers in a brickwork pattern for maximum root lift. Complete drying with a diffuser then allow the rollers to cool and set.

4. Remove rollers and apply a sparse amount of Sebastian Professional Matte Putty through the ends of the hair. Apply another blast of heat with the hair dryer to work up the hair’s texture by massaging the roots with finger tips.

5. Part the hair low so that a big section of fringe sits asymmetric and falls sensually over one eye. To exaggerate the style and build up the shape, set the style with Sebastian Professional Re-Shaper by spraying into the stream of hot air from the hair dryer.

6. Apply Sebastian Professional Matte Putty again loosening the look with your hands and defining the sections that give a disheveled but modern edge to the final look.

I absolutely LOVE this Guess fragrance. Seductive is right, it’s wonderful!

Designed to mirror the experience of seduction — a sexy image that Guess has become known for over the years with its bombshell advertising — the upscale designer has launched its newest women’s fragrance.

Seductive was recently revealed in Florence, Italy, and the company has high hopes for its first scent to come out of its new license with manufacturer Coty, Inc.

“Guess is thrilled to be unveiling our newest scent, Seductive, in partnership with Coty,” says Paul Marciano, Chief Executive Officer and Creative Director of Guess, Inc. “Coty is a leader in the beauty and fragrance industry and we feel confident and proud to have worked so closely with them on the launch of Seductive.”

Created by perfumer Veronique Nyberg, Guess Seductive is meant to embody coquettish charm with a daring edge.

The scent starts off with light, sparkling top notes of bergamot, blackcurrant and crispy pear, with jasmine, orange flower and Florentine Orris – a historic note harvested in Florence and used in perfumery for centuries – as its middle notes. Base notes include vanilla, spicy olibanum and a musky cashmere wood.

Olay is looking to attract a younger audience with a new ad campaign featuring country music star Carrie Underwood.

In photos that depict a freshly face-washed Underwood with a squeaky clean glow, it appears the brand is focusing on its line of facial cleansers — which contain foaming formulas, scrubs and cloth wipes — to target the younger demographic, instead of the anti-wrinkle and lifting moisturizers it is most well-known for today.

“I started to focus on how I took care of my skin in my 20s because I don’t want to ever do drastic things to my face. It’s just not my style, I want to keep it as natural as possible,” said Underwood.

Olay will air an ad during Wednesday’s Country Music Association Awards featuring the skin-care company’s celebrity spokesperson, Carrie Underwood, but E! Online has an early look at the spot.

My favorite new product has to be the EOS smooth sphere. It leaves my lips so soft and hydrated and the Tangerine scent smells delicious. On top of being a great lip balm I love that the antibacterial properties can help keep colds at bay. And at under $4 a sphere its affordable even for the most budget conscious.

Get ready – winter is just around the corner and we need to make sure we have the essentials to survive. With cool, chilly weather comes cold and flu season and, unfortunately, wool coats, suede boots and comfy sweaters just won’t cut it. Studies show that, each winter, the average person contracts approximately 3 colds, and those who are around young children catch even more. Soon enough those harmful germs will be making their way around schools and office buildings nationwide and, while there’s no cure for the common cold or flu, we need to take preventative measures to protect ourselves and minimize our chances of getting sick.

Thankfully, eos (evolution of smooth) launches their new Anti-Bacterial Tangerine Lip Balm Smooth Sphere just in time! This 95% natural, petrolatum and paraben-free, daily-use lip balm provides anti-bacterial protection with the use of Phenol and offers medicated relief to help sooth dry lips and alleviate symptoms of cold sores. Its revolutionary smooth sphere packaging provides a direct, hygienic application and is packed with antioxidants, zinc, vitamins C and E, shea butter and jojoba oil to keep your lips healthy and germ-free this season!

Key Ingredients:

• Phenol – higher level of phenol at 0.5%, providing anti-bacterial and germ-fighting protection with antiseptic properties

• Antioxidants – vitamins A, C & E, zinc, honey and natural fruit & green tea extracts to soothe and heal

• Jojoba oil – provides long-lasting moisture

• Shea butter – softens and nourishes

Price: $3.29
