May Monday Marvelousness: Kate Hudson and Almay - and a Sweepstakes!
This past weekend was complete laziness, and the weekend before was holiday madness. Maybe it’s time for something in-between for the coming weekend. Maybe a girls’ day at the movies? Or maybe a trip to the drugstore beauty aisle? Or both?
“Something Borrowed” opens this weekend, and starting today you can enter to win a trip to the Hamptons by visiting Almay’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/almay).
Something New, Something Blue…
Something Borrowed – From Kate Hudson
Borrow Almay Brand Ambassador Kate Hudson’s Beauty Looks from her New Movie, Something Borrowed
Almay Brand Ambassador Kate Hudson plays the beautiful and vivacious Darcy in the new romantic comedy Something Borrowed, from Alcon Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures, opening nationwide May 6, 2011. Living in New York City, Darcy has it all – a close circle of friends, including best friend Rachel, a gorgeous fiancé and enviable style. With flawless makeup and effortlessly chic style, Darcy (like Kate!) is a girl worth borrowing from… and while fans of the movie can’t borrow Darcy’s friends or her fiancé, they can borrow her gorgeous beauty looks with tips, how-to videos and products from Almay.
Almay, Hudson and Warner. Bros. have teamed up to help fans capture and recreate three of Kate’s favorite beauty looks from the film. Fans can choose from her day look, which features luminous skin with intensified eye color, her night look, which includes a sultry, smoky eye, and her gorgeous, pulled together professional look, which can be created in just 5-minutes.
Almay has partnered with renowned makeup artist Daniel Martin to create exclusive how-to videos for Almay’s Facebook page that give step-by-step instructions and expert tips and tricks on how to successfully ‘borrow’ Kate’s looks from the movie. The videos will launch on April 18th. And beginning May 2nd, Almay will have dedicated displays in-store with product recommendations for each look, as well as instructional pamphlets for easy application.
Almay is also offering consumers the opportunity to not only look the part of Darcy, but enjoy a taste of the character’s lifestyle by giving one winner the ultimate beach weekend at the summertime hotspot where Darcy and her friends enjoy the summer -- the Hamptons, New York.

Something Borrowed – From Kate Hudson
Borrow Almay Brand Ambassador Kate Hudson’s Beauty Looks from her New Movie, Something BorrowedAlmay Brand Ambassador Kate Hudson plays the beautiful and vivacious Darcy in the new romantic comedy Something Borrowed, from Alcon Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures, opening nationwide May 6, 2011. Living in New York City, Darcy has it all – a close circle of friends, including best friend Rachel, a gorgeous fiancé and enviable style. With flawless makeup and effortlessly chic style, Darcy (like Kate!) is a girl worth borrowing from… and while fans of the movie can’t borrow Darcy’s friends or her fiancé, they can borrow her gorgeous beauty looks with tips, how-to videos and products from Almay.
Almay, Hudson and Warner. Bros. have teamed up to help fans capture and recreate three of Kate’s favorite beauty looks from the film. Fans can choose from her day look, which features luminous skin with intensified eye color, her night look, which includes a sultry, smoky eye, and her gorgeous, pulled together professional look, which can be created in just 5-minutes.
Almay has partnered with renowned makeup artist Daniel Martin to create exclusive how-to videos for Almay’s Facebook page that give step-by-step instructions and expert tips and tricks on how to successfully ‘borrow’ Kate’s looks from the movie. The videos will launch on April 18th. And beginning May 2nd, Almay will have dedicated displays in-store with product recommendations for each look, as well as instructional pamphlets for easy application.
Almay is also offering consumers the opportunity to not only look the part of Darcy, but enjoy a taste of the character’s lifestyle by giving one winner the ultimate beach weekend at the summertime hotspot where Darcy and her friends enjoy the summer -- the Hamptons, New York. The sweepstakes will be held starting May 2nd on Almay’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/almay).

Friday Fabulousness: Help LUSH Help The Relief Effort In Japan
Read about the limited edition products LUSH is launching. 100% of the proceeds will be going to various Japanese charities. The products will be hitting North American stores on Monday (April 18), and will also be available at www.lushusa.com.
LUSH lends a helping hand to Japan
As you know, the disaster in Japan is far from over. The catastrophic earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan hit very close to home for LUSH Cosmetics. With 1600 staff members, 145 shops, and a manufacturing facility located in Japan, LUSH had to step in and support local organizations. These groups are working to rebuild affected areas and support Japanese citizens, some of whom are members of the LUSH family.
To aid in the relief effort, LUSH is selling limited edition products with 100% of the proceeds going to various Japanese charities.
The Rising Sun soap ($5.95) resembles the Japanese flag and softens the skin with a sweet cherry fragrance. All proceeds from the soap will go directly to Peace Boat, a Japan-based non-profit organization. Since the earthquake, Peace Boat has been organizing volunteers, transporting aid and providing hot meals to those affected by the disaster.
LUSH has also launched three limited edition Charity Pots ($5.00/each). This rich body lotion is made with Fair Trade organic cocoa butter with a hint of ylang ylang and geranium. 100% of the sale of each Charity Pot will be donated to three Japanese humanitarian and animal welfare organizations:
- Rescue Stock Yard – a Japanese domestic disaster non-profit that has started emergency relief and preparation for long-term support for thousands of survivors.
- NGO Collaboration Centre for HANSHIN QUAKE Rehabilitation – members of this center have been in the Miyagi Prefecture providing support for the victims.
- Animal Peace – a grassroots animal welfare group that has been providing medical care, food and blankets for displaced animals.

Golden Globes: Olivia Wilde, Julianne Moore and Kérastase
Check out the two looks created for Olivia Wilde & Julianne Moore (thanks to Terry Mullet & Giannandrea using none other than Kérastase products.)
Kérastase at the Globes
Olivia Wilde
Overall Look: chic French Girl look
Began by applying Kérastase Volumactive Mousse & Care Kérastase Volumactive to wet hair prior to blowdrying to give texture and volume. From there, Terry blow dried her hair with his hands, only using a round brush at the ends once almost dried to give the hair a clean, healthy, just washed type of look. Once the hair was dry, he finished with Kérastase Oléo-Relax Serum on the ends and a veil of Kérastase Double Force Hair Spray for hold.
Julianne Moore
Overall Look: "modern, romantic" look
Began by applying Kérastase Volumactive Mousse & Kérastase Nectar Thermique to her wet hair. This created volume and texture while protecting the hair from the heat of the blow-dryer. He then parted her hair down the middle to create a modern aesthetic. Following, he twisted the hair to the side and created a pony/tail twist style. He finished with Kérastase Elixir Ultime to create a healthy, finish that had a touchable, healthy shine.

Once the hair was dry, he finished with Kérastase Oléo-Relax Serum on the ends and a veil of Kérastase Double Force Hair Spray for hold.Julianne Moore
Overall Look: "modern, romantic" look
Began by applying Kérastase Volumactive Mousse & Kérastase Nectar Thermique to her wet hair. This created volume and texture while protecting the hair from the heat of the blow-dryer. He then parted her hair down the middle to create a modern aesthetic. Following, he twisted the hair to the side and created a pony/tail twist style. He finished with Kérastase Elixir Ultime to create a healthy, finish that had a touchable, healthy shine.All products available at www.kerastase-usa.com
Golden Globes: Lea Michele, Jennifer Lawrence and Dove
Check out Mark Townsend’s hair looks for nominees, Lea Michele and Jennifer Lawrence (using Dove Hair Care)
Celebrity Stylist, Mark Townsend, and Dove Hair Care at the Globes
Lea Michele (Nominee for Best Performance by an Actress In A Television Series - Comedy Or Musical for her breakout role in “Glee.”)
Dove celebrity hairstylist Mark Townsend created a modern and fresh hair look for Lea Michele. “I wanted to give Lea a young and modern look. I played off the movement and ruffles of her gorgeous gown to give her a loose chignon that was all about soft, subtle glamour.”
Here’s how to get Lea Michele’s look:
“One of the best parts of my job is I get to take home products before they’re available on shelves. I gave Lea the new Dove Nourishing Oil Care System a couple of weeks ago – her hair goes through a lot on her show. When using the whole system it can smooth up to 100% of roughness and frizz.
“I told Lea to arrive with clean, just washed hair. I started her look tonight by applying Dove Nourishing Oil Care Serum to wet hair to smooth any frizz and add shine.
“Next, to add a bit of texture and volume rake a pump of Dove Curl & Sculpt Defining Mousse throughout damp hair and blow dry with a round brush.
“Then wrap two inch sections of hair around a ¾ inch curling iron to create big, loose curls. This will help create soft texture around the face.
“Rub a pea sized amount of the new Dove Nourishing Oil Care Leave-In Smoothing Cream between hands. Rake fingers through the hair to distribute the product evenly and create definition and shine.
“Pull the sides and back into a low, messy chignon at the nape of the neck and secure with bobby pins.
“Carefully pull out pieces in the front of the hair to frame the face.
“To finish Lea’s look I sprayed Dove Unscented Extra Hold Hairspray with Natural Movement (Aerosol) throughout the hair to give it hold without looking frozen in time. It’s a soft, “up-ish” do that looks like it could fall down at any moment, but really it’s not going anywhere!”
Jennifer Lawrence (Nominee for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture for "Winter's Bone")
To go with the excitement of Jennifer Lawrence’s first Golden Globes, Dove celebrity hairstylist Mark Townsend created a textured chignon with subtle glamour. “The ruffle in her dress goes from top to bottom, but the gown is still very fitting so to complement that I kept her hair close to her head but with a few purposely placed flyaways – I didn’t want it to be slicked back,” said Townsend.
Here’s how to get Jennifer Lawrence’s look:
“Jennifer’s changed her hair color so many times for X-Men so she’s been using the Dove Nourishing Oil Care System to get it back in shape. It turns what could be dry and unmanageable hair into soft and smooth hair. I love the Nourishing Oil Care Daily Treatment Conditioner to give hair a treatment in the time it takes to condition your hair.
“To start this look take a drop of the new Dove Nourishing Oil Care Serum and rake through wet hair to start out with soft and smooth hair and then blow out the hair with round brush to get optimal volume at the roots.
“Spritz Dove Heat Defense Therapy Mist throughout to protect against styling damage.
“Take 1 inch sections of hair and wrap it around a ½ inch curling iron in alternate directions to create texture in the bun.
“Rub a dime-sized sized amount of the Dove Nourishing Oil Care Leave-in Smoothing Cream throughout the hair. The weightless oil blend gives amazing shine and texture.
“ Spray a dry texturizing spray all over the hair and pull hair back into a ponytail in the middle of the back of the head – not into a low ponytail. Then wrap into a chignon and secure with bobby pins.
“Jennifer is energetic and young, so to complement that I used a pomade with shimmer for some subtle sparkle.
“Finish the look by spraying Dove Flexible Hold Hairspray with Natural Movement (Aerosol) to set the style but still allow movement.

Golden Globes: Selena Gomez and Anastasia Beverly Hills
In addition to her gorgeous gown, Selena Gomez was Anastasia Beverly Hills all over. Take a look…
Get the Look: Anastasia Beverly Hills for Selena Gomez
Celebrity make-up artist, Karan Mitchell, created selena gomez’s red carpet look for the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards using exclusively Anastasia Beverly Hills products.
Inspiration: For the Golden Globes, Selena chose a beautiful Catherine Deane coral colored gown with golden chain accents. Karan Mitchell wanted the make up to be complimentary to her dress so she focused on the coral and golden shades.
Steps To Achieve Selena’s Show Stopping Eyes & Lashes:
For the base of the lid, Mitchell used the first two shades from the ILLUMIN8 with YOUTHFUL SYNERGY™ COMPLEX EYE SHADOW PALETTE #1, blending on the eyelid as well as from the crease to the brow as a highlight.
Then she blended the soft plum accent shade 4 from ILLUMIN8 with YOUTHFUL SYNERGY™ COMPLEX EYE SHADOW PALETTE #1on the crease as well as blending up and outward all the way to the eyebrow on the outer edges.
Next, Mitchell wet the deep onyx shade from ILLUMIN8 with YOUTHFUL SYNERGY™ COMPLEX EYE SHADOW PALETTE #2 and used it as a liquid liner on the top lashes.
Treat your eyelashes as you do your hair. You want to round-brush Lash Lifting Mascara into the root of your upper and lower lashes for definition.
Steps To Achieve Selena’s Fierce Brows:
To define brows begin with sketching in Brow Wiz (Selena used Medium Ash) over brows using light upward strokes, filling in brows completely, as if you were drawing little hairs.
Then use the wand brush on the other end of Brow Wiz to blend the brow color through. This will soften the product and create a natural effect.
To highlight the brow bone apply Brow Duality (Selena used Camille/ Sand) highlighter pencil on the brow bone starting above the iris to the end of the brow and blend using the fingertip.
To ensure longevity brush Clear Brow Gel in short upward strokes, being sure to apply in the same direction of hair growth. This will lock it in!
Steps To Achieve Selena’s Gorgeous Lips & Cheeks:
Using the amazing wand, swipe HydraFull Gloss across the lips.
Using your ring finger gently tap the crème cheek color from the Highlighting Crème Duo (Selena used St Tropez) to apples of cheeks, blending to hairline.
For a sexy glow and highlighted cheekbones apply a small amount of the liquid highlighter along the cheekbones and blend on to your shoulders too!
