Kerry Washington at the 2013 Oscars in Lancôme

Kerry looked amazing last night! I love the bright pink shade of her dress fun and elegant she has been so fun to watch on the red carpet. Her makeup was beautiful and natural the perfect compliment to her gown.

In a coral Miu Miu gown, Kerry Washington brightened up the red carpet tonight. Makeup Artist Carola Gonzalez used the embellishments on the dress as her inspiration for a radiant, natural look with just a hint of color on the eyes and the cheeks.

Introducing David Evangelista ‘Straight’ Hair Smoothing and Straightening Serum

David Evangelista Straight Smoothing and Straightening Serum
Use it when you want that sleek straight hair with intense shine and no commitment – you’ll get exceptional smooth manageability and control until your next shampoo. Enjoy curly hair one day, straight the next, and back to wavy or curly when you wash it out. How much fun is that?

With naturally curly hair I of course love the look of my hair straightened. But I have to be careful to not destroy my hair in the process with heat and harsh products. I had the chance to review the new David Evangelista Straight Smoothing and Straightening Serum and it really is something special. The formula has a milk like color and texture. You just work it through towel dried hair then blow dry as usual.

As you can see from the photo above my hair is very curly and the image on the right was taken right after I blow dried with just the David Evangelista Straight Serum in my hair. I love how soft my hair looks and feels and it dried much faster than normal cutting down on heat damage. I was impressed how straight my hair was after blow drying I think this is a great product that will work for a lot of hair types. And the best part it washes right out so I can be curly the next day.

It increases firmness to restore a more youthful smoothness and even tone. ($55)

Rachel Zoe, Celebrity Stylist: Rachel Zoe is known for creating some of best looks seen on the red carpet, including for her Oscar-nominated client Anne Hathaway. She definitely knows the importance of looking your best, which includes having healthy and hydrated skin. No wonder she keeps Murad’s Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisture in her own beauty bag! ($65)

Nadine Velazquez, Actress: Nadine Velazquez, actress in the Oscar nominated film Flight, visits the Murad Inclusive Health Spa when she wants to pamper herself and her skin. It’s the perfect way to relax before any big event!

Another product celebrities are clamoring for is Murad’s new Rapid Collagen Infusion, a fast acting, multi-tasking formula that fights wrinkles and loss of resilience by promoting collagen and elastin production while maintaining healthy hydration levels in the skin. It is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in 2 hours. ($78)

Introducing Three Amazing Votre Vu Products!

Le Joli Crayon, Smudge & Set Soft Eye Liner:

Brigitte Bardot educated the world about the allure of eyeliner … and now Le Joli Crayon is here to teach you. Draw on the drama with this mistake-proof gel pencil that feels like a liquid liner, but allows you time to feather and smudge before it sets. Le Joli Crayon’s smart sponge blending tip wouldn’t dare tug or tear at your delicate eyelid. Rather, this budge-proof, smudge-proof and melt-proof liner is all about prevention and retention. Could this be the real French paradox? A pretty eyeliner that is so soft on your skin, yet strong enough to provide the intensity of a liquid liner in one simple stroke?

Rich in mineral pigments, anti-aging fruit extracts, and vitamin E, this super-conditioning, proprietary formula nourishes and hydrates the fragile eye area while treating it with healing free-radical fighters. Botanically harvested candelilla wax provides both an effortless glide and water-resistant layer that seals in the peeper pigment’s mineral-color blend. As easy to remove as it is to apply, this long-lasting, ophthalmologist-tested formula is the ultimate on-the-go liner.

I absolutely LOVE this eye liner. It glides on like a dream, seriously. It is beautiful, and it lasts forever. If I had a list of favorite eye-liners, this one would be on top. This really is an amazing product!!

Only $23!

Vu-On Rouge, Sheer Moisture Color Accent for Lips & Face!

Your skin takes center stage with a kick of color from Vu-On Rouge sheer moisture tint. Just a simple swish of this multi-tasking pop-up stick bestows a fetching and flirty flush to cheeks, lips, lids and facial contours.

Blended with hydrating shea and exotic antioxidant-rich mango seed butters, Vu’s ravishing rouge spreads smoothly over skin, creating a dewy luster and irresistible airbrushed finish. Without creasing or caking, this long-wearing plant-based pigment evokes renewed vitality to your visage and wouldn’t dare settle into fine lines. Skin-conditioning jojoba and castor seed oils step in for a finished formula that naturally flatters, stabilizes and protects.

Available in three shades to complement every complexion, Vu-On Rouge can be worn alone or over Love Me Deux tinted moisturizer. To set, dab on protective Belle Poudre for a look that wears long after the cabaret’s last dance.

I love that this is a two-in-one product! It looks great both on my lips and my cheeks! It goes on smoothly, and lasts forever! Beautiful color! PS: The color I tried is Bouquet Rose, GORGEOUS!

$29

Bask in this French kaolin clay-based powder that softly contours, highlights, and even pulls double duty as a natural eye shadow. Even better, our brilliant laboratory firmly baked these proprietary bathing beauties to stay firm in the pan and brush on for even, lightweight coverage. Whether the desire is to achieve a hint of naturally radiant color or a believable year-round glow, this gleaming duo naturally illuminates and rejuvenates skin without evoking an aged iridescent effect — just pure joie de vivre!

For every French Accents cosmetic purchased, Votre Vu donates $1 to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation in support of the 46 Mommas and their efforts to treat and cure pediatric cancers.

This is such a gorgeous bronzer, it is PERFECT for spring and summer! It makes my skin look like it’s absolutely glowing!! I love it!

Fergie Newest Fragrance Viva

Fergie Viva Eau de Parfum Spray $30
Feminine. Empowered. Unconventional. A sexy contradiction of captivatingly cool herbs spiked with fierce lavender and intriguing vetiver. Fergie’s confident, daring and bold personality was captured through the sharp and straight edges of the bottle, dagger and cap, depicting a woman who has a strong sense of direction.

Defying convention, her look is her own. Beautiful and bold, her powerful femininity captures everyone’s attention. She’s in charge, in complete control. With Viva by Fergie, you can channel the confident and empowered sexiness of singer, wife, actress, model and icon, Fergie. The newest and latest collaboration between Avon and the award-winning artist, Viva by Fergie is designed to empower the fearless woman within, celebrate your feminine contrasts and live outside the bounds. A sexy, spirited and seductive fragrance, Viva by Fergie epitomizes the strength, independence and femininity of its namesake.

“Viva is fresh and unexpected. A sexy daring blend of notes that brings out the duality of a woman. The Viva woman is powerful, yet seductive. She lives life by her own rules.” – Fergie

 

Check out what Fergie told ELLE about her newest fragrance:

ELLE: What does Viva smell like?
Fergie: Viva is very fresh, very cool, and it’s meant to be a wake-up call to embrace the power women have within themselves. It’s about taking charge and really taking life by the horns.

ELLE: How does that ‘take charge’ attitude connect to where you are now, personally?
Fergie: For me, that meant getting more involved in my business affairs and embracing that part of me. The empowered woman that I am has always been there, in different levels. But this [campaign], specifically, was about being a powerful businesswoman.

ELLE: We thought maybe you were going to say, “It’s when I first wore shoulder pads on Kids Incorporated.” Because, you know, that was a major fashion moment.
Fergie: Wow, thank you! I guess deep down, I always knew I was empowered!

ELLE: Why did you name this fragrance Viva?
Fergie: Because it’s about living! First of all, it’s a nod to my Latin friends around the world, because obviously “Viva” is Spanish. And Viva is about embracing your life and making your own set of rules—creating your path and owning it.


ELLE: Both Viva and your other perfume, Outspoken, have hints of leather in their smells. What’s so exciting about leather for you?
Fergie: Leather adds a bit of rock ‘n’ roll to it!
