My thoughts:

I think the Obliphica Treatment Shampoo and Hair Mask may be the best shampoo/conditioner I’ve used to date.

The shampoo cleans my hair without drying it out or leaving a yucky buildup and the hair mask is AMAZING!

My hair has never felt so soft and the serum is a nice addition to the other two products.

I put it on my hair after I get out of the shower and wow my hair has such a brilliant shine to it.

I feel like I should be in a haircare commercial after using these products.

Maybe she’s born with it….Maybe it’s Obliphica, lol.

There’s a reason the creator of these products John Blaine, has a celebrity clientele that includes the likes of Paris Hilton, Dita Von Teese, Kendra Wilkinson and Mariah Carey just to name a few.

Have you tried these products before?

What were your thoughts?

Obliphica products are not tested on animals which I love and can be purchased online at Obliphica.com.

Best,

Snooki tweeted a photo of herself sans makeup with the tag “No make up day and IDC ”.

All I can say is I love makeup and all, but Snooki looks gorgeous without any and should go sans makeup more often.

Who’s with me?

I’m loving Charlize Theron’s look from last nights Golden Globes.

She looked amazing with very natural eye makeup and glowing skin.

I heard her say her secret to great skin is Cetaphil for cleansing and La Roche-Posay SPF 50 everyday of the year.

Whatever she’s using it works because she looks better every time I see her.

Which celebrity was your favorite last night?

Please share!

How gorgeous is the makeup in this image?

I’m loving it and the smokey eye is just fabulous!

I think I’m going to have to try and recreate this look very soon.

What do you think of the look?

Best,

I mentioned back in August that Olivia Wilde and Emma Stone were Revlon’s Newest Spokeswomen and now we finally get a chance to see the gorgeous images.

I love both ads.

What about you?

Katy Perry has a new cut+color.

I personally love it!

It makes her look so much younger than the black color she usually wears.

Agree/Disagree?

I’d love to hear from you!

To those that know me very well it’s no secret that I adore Dr.Oz.

I think it’s his natural approach to health and wellness, but whatever it is I’m hooked.

I was looking through one of my notebooks today and realized that I’ve taken down quite a few beauty tips in the past few months from his show.

I’m including a few of my favorites below..

Tip #1.
Looking to avoid getting wrinkles?

Take Primrose Oil 500mg twice a day.

Tip #2.
Split Ends?

Take 550mg of black currant essential oil twice a day.

Tip #3.
Want healthy,glowing skin?

Make a mask:

1. Put 3 spoonfuls of coffee grinds into a bowl

2. Put in a small amount of extra virgin olive oil

3. Mix

4. Apply to face and wait for a few minutes then wipe off.

Voila. Soft, glowing skin.

Tip #4.
Got oily hair?

Try Apple Cider Vinegar. Dilute vinegar by mixing one tablespoon into one cup of water. Apply it to hair and then rinse.

I’ve tried the coffee mask and apple cider vinegar and they both work great.

If you try any of these diy beauty tips let me know how it works for you.

Hair Look:

Wella Professionals Celebrity Stylist Andy LeCompte was hard at work behind the scenes of the 2011 Latin Grammy Awards, creating not one, but three different hairstyles for award-winner and performer Shakira. First Andy created a loose, sexy up-do for her walk down the red carpet, next, he let the singer’s hair down for some glamorous waves for her award wins and then a more rock and roll style as she took center stage with a performance.

Look #1.

1. Wash hair with Wella Professionals Enrich Shampoo and Conditioner to maximize volume and shine.

2. Prep wet hair with Wella Professionals Velvet Amplifier Style Primer, then blow-dry the hair with a large round brush.

3. Curves: The 34-year-old’s gown featured a bedazzled bodice, which also tended to accentuate her cleavage. Spray hair with Wella Professionals Ocean Spritz Beach Texture Spray to create matte texture to create the loose – slightly undone look.

4. Pull back the rest of the hair in a loose, natural piece-y chignon and pin it with a mixture of bobby pins and long T pins.

5. Pull down a few loose pieces and use a curling iron to give them a slight curl.

6. Spray the finished look with Wella Professionals Dynamic Fix 45 Second Crafting Spray to set.

Look #2.

1. Blow out hair with Wella Professionals Flowing Form Smoothing Balm to create lots of body and lift, and then set hair in Velcro rollers.

2. Take a 1 ¼ inch curling iron and curled and pin hair in horizontal sections.

3. Let hair set for about 20 minutes and then brush hair off to one side with a boar bristle brush.

4. Lift bang area with a rattail comb and spray with Wella Professionals Stay Firm Finishing Spray.

5. Spritz the hair with Wella Professionals Shimmer Delight Shine Spray for an all over radiant glow.

Look #3.

1. Use Wella Professionals Enrich Care regimen to condition hair for a silky smooth result without weighing it down.

2. Apply Wella Professionals Extra Volume Styling Mousse directly to a vent brush and comb from the root to the end for thorough application.

3. Blow dry the hair completely smooth with a ceramic brush.

4. Spray hair evenly with light application of Wella Professionals Thermal Image Heat Protection Spray and separate hair into small sections and use a medium to large barrel curling iron to set loose waves.

5. Spray hair with Wella Professionals Ocean Spritz Beach Texture Spray to create matte texture to create the loose – slightly undone look.

6. Use Wella Shimmer Delight Shine Spray to add extra natural shine to the hair.

7. Aerate hair with fingers then set with Wella Professionals Stay Firm Finishing Spray to control fly-aways, tucking the hair behind one ear and giving it an all-over polished look.

Do you watch the Victoria’s Secret fashion show each year and curse the models for their great genes?

Do you think to yourself everything must come so easy for them?

Answer #1. Did you say, No? Ummmmm..me either.

Answer #2. Did you say, Yes? Thanks for being honest.

It may seem like the Victoria’s Secret Angels were blessed with great bodies, but Adriana Lima recently spilled the beans about what it really takes to look that amazing.

To get ready for the big show Adriana has been working out every day with a personal trainer since August. For the last three weeks, she’s been working out twice a day.

She says:

“It is really intense, it’s not really the amount of time you spend working out, it’s the intensity: I jump rope, I do boxing, I lift weights, but I get bored doing that. If I am not moving I get bored very easily.”

She also sees a nutritionist, who has measured her body’s muscle mass, fat ratio and levels of water retention. He prescribes protein shakes, vitamins and supplements to keep Lima’s energy levels up during this training period. Lima drinks a gallon of water a day. For nine days before the show, she will drink only protein shakes – “no solids”. The concoctions include powdered egg. Two days before the show, she will abstain from the daily gallon of water, and “just drink normally”. Then, 12 hours before the show, she will stop drinking entirely.

“No liquids at all so you dry out, sometimes you can lose up to eight pounds just from that,” she says.

Seems drastic don’t you think?

Next time you see the Victoria’s Secret Angels on TV don’t be jealous of them, instead be happy that you don’t have to do such crazy things to your body.

What do you think of the crazy dieting Adriana goes through before a big show?

I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Best,

I’m so excited to see that Nicki Minaj is doing a line of polishes with OPI.

They’re fun and unique just like Miss. Minaj herself.

There are six limited-edition colors in total all of which are inspired by Minaj’s own personal sense of style.

Shown in the above photo are: Save Me (glittery one), Did it on ‘Em (neon green) and Pink Friday (bubblegum pink).

The collection will be available in January and will retail for $8.50 a bottle.

I can’t wait….I love Pink Friday and Save Me.

What do you think of the collaboration between Nicki and OPI?

Will you be picking up any of the polishes?
