Halloween Hair by Celebrity Stylist, Danilo
Put together the perfect hair do this Halloween. Tips below from Pantene Celebrity Stylist, Danilo.
Betty Draper from Mad Men
1. Start by using the Pantene Pro-V Smooth Shampoo & Conditioner to help tame frizz and leave hair silky
2. Apply the Pantene Restoratives Frizz Control Ultra Smoothing Balm to damp hair
3. Blow-dry hair using a natural or combination bristle
round brush
4. Wrap big sections of hair around a 1-inch barrel curling iron, wrapping from root to end for deep waves (wrap the front of hair away from the face and curl ends under)
5. Part hair to one side and apply gently brush hair with a natural bristly brush to keep curls together (using a synthetic brush will separate the curls creating a more tousled look)
6. Finish the look with the Pantene Pro-V Ice Shine Maximum Hold Aerosol Hairspray
Blair Waldorf ("B") from Gossip Girl
- Start by using the Pantene Pro-V Texture Shampoo and Conditioner to prepare hair for a healthy, textured look
- Apply Pantene Pro-V Volume Root Lifter Gel to damp hair from root to tip
- Blow-dry hair periodically flipping hair upside down to create maximum fullness at the crown
- Wrap large sections of hair around a 1-inch barrel curling iron starting at least 4” from scalp
- Remove iron and quickly twist hot section pulling it into a rope-like shape until it cools – this will transform curls into waves
- Brush hair out and run fingers through hair to break up the curls for a tousled look
- Give hair added texture by adding some small braids and twists throughout hair
- Complete the look with a headband, placing it 1-inch away from your hairline
True Blood (or Twilight) Vampire
1. Start by using the Pantene Pro-V Moisture Renewal Shampoo to hydrate hair for a good styling base
2 . Apply the Pantene Pro-V Ice Shine Mousse to damp hair for lightweight hold and added shine
3. Blow-dry hair using a natural or combination bristle brush
4. Curl hair using a 1-inch curling iron wrapping hair from tip to root to create tight curls; for defined curls, hold each section of hair in curl formation as it cools after removing iron
5. Pull hair half-up starting approximately ½ inch above the ears and secure with a clip or bow
6. Apply the Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Frizz control Anti-Humidity Hairspray to hair keep curls smooth and frizz-free
Uhura from "Star Trek"
- Start by using the Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Frizz Control Shampoo and Conditioner to smooth hair and tame fly-aways
- Apply the Pantene Pro-V Smooth Serum to give shine and smoothness, and protect hair from heat
- Blow-dry using a flat brush with the airflow aiming down for a sleek, straight look
- Flat iron hair, directing the iron downward, parallel with face for more “finished” looking ends
- Pull hair back using a natural bristle brush for superior tension and smoothness, and secure ponytail at top of crown with an elastic
- To create the illusion of a bun at the top of the ponytail, secure hair with a hair-embellished elastic (available in multiple shades to match your hair)
- Complete the look with Pantene Pro-V Ice Shine Maximum Hold Aerosol hairspray for reflective shine
Double Giveaway - OPI Pink of Hearts & DuWop Pink Shimmer Lip Venom
Two great giveaways from two great beauty brands, doing something for a great cause...
For the third year, OPI has created a Pink of Hearts Nail Lacquer to support Susan G. Komen for the Cure to raise awareness of breast cancer during October. In 2009, OPI will donate $25,000 to Komen for the Cure. Pink of Hearts is a pretty, empowering light pink - a color meant to inspire and uplift. Each bottle features a special pink-ribbon cap wrap.
The color is a staple ever women should have. It reminds me a lot of Zoya's Barbie pink. It's super cute on both hands and toes and stayed on a good 5 days with base and top coats.
This October, DuWop’s Pink Shimmer Lip Venom takes on a new meaning, with a portion of the proceeds going to support the Cosmetic Executive Women Foundation’s Cancer & Careers program. Cancer & Careers is a revolutionary resource for working women with cancer, their employers, co-workers and caregivers that provides information and guidance for working women during and after cancer treatment. Featuring the same formula as the original bestselling Lip Venom, Pink Shimmer is infused with an extra sheen and light color, and is available at Sephora.com.
This is a very glossy gloss, and gives the illusion of fuller lips. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that DuWop was one of the first lip plumpers on the scene, and in my opinion, the best. If you are normally bothered by the slight 'sting' of lip plumpers, or are hesitant to try them out because of the sting, it helps l to put a balm on your lips first, and then apply the gloss. The balm keeps the gloss from stinging but will still give you a fuller look.
Fill out the form below to win OPI Pink of Hearts and DuWop Lip Venom! For extra entries, you can sign up for my mailing list, post a link to this giveaway on your blog, follow my blog, follow me and retweet on Twitter, or become a fan on Facebook; just make sure to list the entries in your comment. Enter up to once a day & spread the word!
This contest is open to US and Canada residents only. The contest will end on Saturday, November 28th. I will randomly select THREE lucky winners and announce them on Lipgloss Break, so keep checking to see if you're a winner - Good Luck!

Jenny B Heartburn tee
Jenny B Clothing, Hollywood’s admired casual apparel line, has launched a pink “Heartburn” tee from her collection to coincide with the Breast Cancer Awareness Month which runs throughout October. Designer Jennifer Brawley channels her love for fashion by creating a regional awareness campaign for breast cancer research and treatment. The “Heartburn” tees will raise funds and awareness to support women battling breast cancer. On behalf of breast cancer patients & survivors, 50% of the proceeds will be given to The Breast Cancer Foundation.
This tank is adorable. So unique. The sheer hearts scattered across it are so much fun. I rocked this under a grey cardigan and the hearts peeping out from underneath are the perfect twist to a standard, simple, staple camisole.
First Facial
Friday, after work, I treated myself to my first ever professional facial. It's scary when I splurge on things like this because there is a very good chance that I'll get addicted. I think I just may with this...
I made an appointment to get an express/mini facial at AvaShay's Salon in Brighton MI. There were two different options to chose from: a regular facial or a pumpkin mask facial. I opted for the regular one, with the guidance of licensed Esthetician, Barbara, since it was my first time and I was a little nervous as to how my skin would react.
While filling out the initial paperwork since it was my first facial there, I had a glass of wine and had a chance to unwind from work. The facial started with a cleansing, and ended with a mask, serum and moisturizer. I don't remember what happened in between too clearly since I dosed off a bit :)
My face felt so smooth afterwards and it felt good knowing that my pores were thoroughly cleansed. Barbara used Bioelements and Tao products for my facial, and so far, so good, no breakouts or sensitivity.
If you're looking to treat yourself to something relaxing, and want to spend less than you would on a massage, check facial prices around your area. A 30 minute facial should cost anywhere from $25 - 40, depending on any add-on's you may want. Not only is it relaxing, but it's a great treat for your skin.
