Get the Emmy Look: Lea Michele

The lovely Lea Michele sported a 'do by celebrity stylist Mark Townsend at the 2010 Primetime Emmy Awards, and while I wish it was a bit more "done," I'm loving the fact that she's wearing a couple of strategically placed hairpieces to add those caramel highlights! "Lea wanted her hair to look touchable and super modern, and full hair with lots of volume and a bit of roughness was perfect against

Get the Emmy Look: Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Has she ever looked better? Julia Louis-Dreyfus seems to get more gorgeous with every year! Her 2010 Emmy hair was sleek and simple--all the better to show off those knockout earrings. Julia's hair is worth a mention here thanks to the techniques stylist Oscar Blandi used to get it so smooth. Remember Elaine's wild hair in the early days of Seinfeld? Julia has A LOT of hair, so it's not as if all

Get the Emmy Look: Emily Blunt

Emily Blunt hit the red carpet at the 2010 Emmys looking fabulous and glowing (I'd be glowing too if I just married John Krasinski!).

Makeup artist Jenn Streicher used By Terry Rose de Rose blush in Fresh Rose on Emily's cheeks, created her smokey eye with Cle de Peau quad eyeshadow in #14, and finished the lips with Tom Ford lipstick in Pink Dusk. For an allover glow, she used St. Tropez Skin

Avon Advance Techniques Lotus Shield

I can't even tell you how excited I was when I heard about Avon's new anti-frizz product, Advance Techniques Lotus Shield. Inspired by the way lotus leaves repel water, Lotus Shield uses water-resistant technology to fend off frizz (note: the product does not contain any actual lotus-related ingredients).

It looked pretty good to me; I watched videos of women sitting in a humidity chamber and

Moroccanoil: Believe the Hype!

So, friends, my lazy behind finally got around to trying Moroccanoil, the hair treatment that everyone seems to swear by. The verdict: believe the hype.

Moroccanoil is like your favorite hair serum, multiplied by 10. In a nutshell, it's nourishing, fatty-acid-rich argan oil, in a silicone base. So, if you're feeling skittish about applying straight-up oil to your hair, don't be scurred. Because

Extend your Style with CLEAN Dry Shampoo

After all these years, I'm still occasionally ambivalent about CLEAN. I vacillate between the following:

a. "Ahhh, fresh and soapy!"

b. "Way too sharp and synthetic."

c. "This is NOT a perfume."

But regardless of how I feel about the perfume itself, I've always LOVED the Shampoo Fresh Hair Fragrance. I've raved about it at least three times on the blog, and my feelings for it have never waned

Revlon Perfect Heat Pink Ceramic Straightener

Last weekend, on my way out the door to get to the airport, I plugged in my beloved ghd styling iron for some pre-flight touchups to my hair. It started to heat up, and then...click. The reset button on the plug popped out, and the iron shut off.

A short? Did the plug get wet? Not my ghd!!!

In my early morning haze I didn't think to try it in another outlet, so I just put it away, cursed at it,

L'Oreal Colorist Secrets Shine Gloss

Right before my trip to Hawaii, my two-month old highlights were looking a little sad, so I hunted in the beauty closet for something that would give my hair a little lift.

I picked up L'Oreal Colorist Secrets Shine Gloss, which I was hoping would do the trick - it's a clear glaze you apply at home, leave on for 10 minutes, and rinse off. It's similar to Clairol Shine Happy, with which I had

Get the Look: Kristen Stewart's New 'Do

What do you think of the new style Kristen Stewart's been sporting this summer? I'm liking the lighter locks. If you're a light brunette or natural "dishwater" blonde and are looking to copy Kristen's color, Joico Celebrity Colorist Beth Minardi recommends Joico Vero K-PAK Color.

And to get her cut, ask your stylist for a traditional bob that's slightly tighter in the nape with no steep angles

Get the Look: Ali Larter at Comic Con

Ali Larter was looking glowing and fabulous at Comic Con this year! The glow may be thanks to her pregnancy (yay!), but credit for her fab hair goes to Suave celeb stylist Jenny Cho. Jenny�s inspiration was to keep her hair looking naturally wavy, down and pretty. To recreate Ali's style, check out Jenny's tips below:

Start with adding a dime size of Suave Professionals 365 Weather Protection

Make Your Hair a Perfect Ten with "It's a 10" and Christina Applegate

Have you tried It's a 10? My stylist Karen first used this "miracle leave-in product" on my hair last year, and we got to talking about how it seemingly came out of nowhere. Apparently, a customer had come into the salon, raving about this "It's a 10" product that she'd been buying at a mall kiosk, so a couple of the stylists tried it, then the salon started stocking it, and everyone fell in love

Get the Look: Audrina Patridge

OK, I'm no fan of The Hills or its ilk, but Audrina Patridge has some seriously pretty hair, and I'm loving the honey-colored highlights. And if the Garnier Smoothing Kit used on her here can make my hair look even half as awesome as hers, I'm totally buying it tomorrow.

Audrina visited the Garnier Malibu Beach House and had her hair styled by Marc Mena, who prepped her hair using the Garnier

Ouidad Curls for a Cure

Did you know that curly-hair diva Ouidad, founder of the eponymous haircare line, is a breast cancer survivor? She was diagnosed at the same age as her mother (who died of the disease), made a full recovery, and went on to create Curls for a Cure, supporting the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Make a donation and Curls for a Cure will match it dollar for dollar. The organization has already

Get the Look: January Jones at the Mad Men Premiere

So...season 4 of Mad Men premiered Sunday night, and I think Twitter almost exploded. Between True Blood, Mad Men, and Entourage, it was a pretty epic night of TV (although this last episode True Blood was severely lacking in Alcide screentime).

Personally, having missed the first seasons of Mad Men, I'm saving myself for a few weekend DVD marathons to get caught up, kinda like what I've been

Get the Look: Lucy Punch at the Dinner for Schmucks Premiere

Actress Lucy Punch co-stars with Steve Carell and Paul Rudd in the upcoming Dinner for Schmucks, and arrived at the NYC premiere with her lovely blonde locks styled by Sebastian Professional Stylist Design Team Member Thomas Duncan.

In case you haven't heard, it's been flippin' HOT this summer here in the NYC, so Thomas created a texturized, modern style designed to beat the heat. To get Lucy's

Dispatch From the Man Cave: shu uemura Shape Paste

OK, I'll admit it: I'm jealous of my boyfriend's hair. It's shiny, a little wavy, and best of all, there is A TON of it. Seriously, he probably has about 5 times more hair on his head than I do.

Sure, he has to cut it every month before he starts looking like Seth Rogen, but who's complaining?

And now, another confession: when we first got together, I just couldn't resist taking a little peek

Get the Look: Naomi Watts at the Premiere of Salt

Naomi Watts rocked it at the premiere of Salt, sporting a freshly-cut, collarbone-length 'do, with a most excellent set of swoopy bangs. This girl does baby blonde like no other; sometimes, pale blonde hair can look wispy and thin, but Naomi's always looks shiny and healthy. Love!

Stylist Robert Vetica created the Studio 54-inspired look, starting by cutting off 2 inches of Naomi's hair. "I kept

Ken Paves Hosts Makeover Madness Fundraiser for Rally for Kids with Cancer

This post isn't really about beauty products, or celebrities, or bargains, or trends...but I'm sharing it with you because it totally made me cry, and melted my cold little heart!

On Monday, Ken Paves hosted a Makeover Madness fundraising event at his West Hollywood salon to raise money for Rally for Kids with Cancer, an organization that provides awareness and resources for children suffering

5 Summer Treats for Face, Body and Hair

Guess who's back? Friends, I know it's been months since I've posted anything. It's flaky, I know. Life has just been a little crazy and beauty mania hasn't been my biggest priority. But I'm happy to say that it's all been positive - job, family, friends and relationship are all excellent. It just took a while (ok, a LONG time) to adjust to traveling 5,000 miles back and forth (yes, I'm living
