Are your ready for latest from DermTV.com?  Tune in for the newest episodes such as: How to Avoid Problems from New Products, Does Everybody Need to us a Moisturizer and Curing Extreme Underarm Sweating.  Don’t forget that Wednesday marks the second episode of the “Wedding Wednesdays” series, Wedding Skin Care Regimens for 6 to 3 months Prior.

Fall has officially begun.  Are you dying to use the hottest fall nail colors? Before you head in for the mani and pedi read this tip of the week.  Dr. Schultz explains that the paint job may actually irritate more than your nose.

Dr. Schultz’s Tip of the Week: The Most Common Culprit for Irritated Eyelids

One of the most common causes of swollen red eye lids is fresh, wet (not dry) nail polish. So what's going on here? It has to do with the change in chemical structure that nail polish undergoes as it dries. In the first four to six hours after nail polish is applied (i.e., when it's still wet but drying), if it touches the eyelids (or area around them), its chemical structure which is highly sensitizing can cause an allergic reaction in some people which results in red, itchy, and swollen eyelids. However, as the nail polish dries, it undergoes a chemical change which makes it water and smudge proof, and also non-allergic. So if you often find yourself with red, swollen, and itchy eyelids, try keeping your hands away from your face for the first four to six hours after you apply nail polish, and you just might find that your problem goes away.

As Seen On ~ Rose Byrne Hair by John Frieda

By Miss Style Apothecary · September 29, 2009 · 0 Comments · 1,293 Views

 

At the Emmy Awards, the stars were out in full force flaunting their eye-catching styles on the red carpet.    Harry Josh, John Frieda International Creative Consultant, shares his styling secrets with easy-to-use tips and tricks to achieve Rose Byrne’s award night look.


Harry gave Rose this ultra-chic collar bone-length cut to accentuate her bone structure and play up her youth.  “Since her dress was so elegant, I wanted to create a simple and chic look for Rose,” said Harry. “I knew that leaving her hair down to showcase her new cut would do just that.”  

Since it was such a hot day in Los Angeles yesterday, Harry began by applying John Frieda Frizz-Ease Original Formula Hair Serum to Rose’s soaking wet hair to ensure her style remained frizz-free and polished throughout the night.

EXPERT TIP: “By infusing soaking wet hair with a dime-size portion of Frizz-Ease Serum, you can block frizz that is caused by humidity and fend off flyaways before they start, paving the way for smooth, flawless style,” said Harry.  

John Frieda Frizz-Ease Hair Serum $9.09 by John Frieda at drugstore.com

Harry then applied Frizz-Ease Straight Fixation to Rose’s towel dried hair before blowing it out straight in sections using a FHI Heat Nano Weight Pro 1900 Turbo blow dyer and a round boar bristle brush. Starting with hair at the back of her head and working towards the crown, Harry emphasized a deep side part by pulling hair to the left as he dried. 

John Frieda Frizz-Ease Straight Fixation Smoothing Cream $6.99 by John Frieda at Walgreens

EXPERT TIP: “It’s essential to begin blow drying from the roots when you’re wearing a side part,” Harry revealed.  “Be sure to work hair in the direction of the part as you dry to ensure that the style stays in place.”

Harry finished by spritzing Frizz-Ease 100% Shine Glossing Mist evenly throughout Rose’s hair to amplify shine and flaunt her new color.

EXPERT TIP: “I wanted to be sure that Rose’s hair captured the light and appeared luminous when she was in front of the camera,” explained Harry. “100% Shine gave it a glossy finish that stayed all night.”

By Kilian Liaisons Dangereuses

$225.00 by By Kilian at Aedes

This fragrance highlights plum from Damascus, a delicate fruit with a smooth note redolent of an alcove inhabited by languid lovers. Rich and complex, this odour has the heady charm of alcoholic vapours. At the heart of the fragrance, the floral breath of Egyptian geranium is warmed by cinnamon from Ceylon. Sandalwood from India structures the composition, which reaches fruition in a bouquet of sensuous musk notes.

By Kilian -~ A Taste of Heaven

By Mr Traveler · September 28, 2009 · 0 Comments · 998 Views

By Kilian A Taste of Heaven $225.00 by By Kilian at Aedes

Inspired by absinthe, bittersweet nectar of poets, this fragrance gives an initial burst of orange blossom then blossoms into a heart of Turkish rose. Swirling woody notes of patchouli and oak moss join with lascivious amber. The fragrance beckons one to enjoy a garden of delights, an astonishing olfactory oxymoron combining the freshness of lavender from southern France and the warmth of Bourbon vanilla.
