CELLEBRATION® with Dr Spiller at Drench Mind & Body

CELLEBRATION® with Dr Spiller at Drench Mind & Body

This skin care collection has always be one of the most carefully crafted lines available here in Australia, last year they released Dr. Spiller CELLEBRATION® Collection an exclusive product line in celebration of 50 years of Dr. Spiller Biocosmetic. The key component of these innovative products is the brand new CELLEBRATION® COMPOUND  this formula is a trilogy of natures ingredients featuring rich caviar, sparkling champagne and precious diamond powder combined with a combination of highly bioactive and deeply penetrating peptides.

For spas that have been using Dr Spiller products the introduction of Cellebration has offered another higher level to achieve optimum skincare results at Drench Mind & Body Spa, Rose Nanfro knows that it is not easy to develop new products and treatments which are not only innovative, but also have a truly visible and lasting effect. The Cellebration Collection is not only stunning in appearance, but at the same time very effective, well tolerated and with groundbreaking refinements in application and optics.Dr. Spiller skincare at Drench Mind & Bdy“The product line is enhanced with diamonds and perfectly complements individual skin conditions, and the creative formulation of the products was designed to meet the needs of the most demanding clients” commented Nanfro when speaking about  her client base that have come to appreciate this line. At Drench Mind & Body clients request this innovative and exclusive line as it is considered an alternative to Botox, the unique Cellebration treatments make the skin appear smooth and flawless while fine lines are reduced.
Rose Nanfro has been the owner of Drench Mind & Body for the past seven years, so asking her about the stand out ingredients in Cellebration that gave those instant results, it was the concentration of Hyaluronic Acid for maximum hydration and Argireline  that decrease the visible effects of aging by reducing the deep wrinkles and lines that occur around the forehead and eyes.Sculpture at Drench Mind & BodyAfter experiencing a Cellebration facial at the experienced hands of Rose Nanfro your skin looks so plumped with hydration, even fine lines have a taken on a far smoother appearance, it become clear that the ingredients are working in this facial. One point that is evident at Drench Mind & Body is that they work with the products in a tailored way; they will adjust the facial protocol to suit a client, as they understand one size does not fit all.
For regular facial goers this is an excellent way to improve your skin, as opposed to having the same routine each time at your spa or salon. The Dr Spiller Celebration facial at Drench Mind & Body in Melbourne is AUD$220.00  and worth every inclusion of Champagne, Diamonds and Caviar that went into this Cellebration.

Hayden Panettiere's Emmys Hair How-To Video Featuring Leonor Greyl

Hayden Panettierre took everyone’s breath away yesterday when she stepped onto the red carpet at the 64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. Discover how renowned celebrity hairstylist, Peter Butler, recreates Hayden’s 2012 Emmys red carpet look using Leonor Greyl. The 23-year-old actress was a presenter along with Nashville costar Connie Britton. Hayden‘s Nashville character has been constantly compared to Taylor Swift, but Taylor knows that it’s not based off of her. The pilot has had amazing reviews even from Taylor Swift ' It’s amazing.’ I think she did an incredible job of being sinister and adorable at the same time, and we had a hilarious conversation about it.’” At the 2012 Emmys, Hayden wore a Marchesa gown with Harry Winston jewels, Giuseppe Zanotti heels and a Judith Leiber bag to the event.

SOFIA VERGARA STUNNING AT THE 2012 EMMYS

SOFIA VERGARA STUNNING AT THE 2012 EMMYS

Hope you enjoyed watching the 2012 Emmys ! We certainly did and definitely had a few favorites from the red carpet, one of them being the always gorgeous Sofia Vergara. She looked absolutely stunning! So in honor of the starlet, we had legendary celebrity hairstylist, Peter Butler, recreate Sofia Vergara’s red carpet look from the 2012 Emmys using Leonor Greyl products. At the2012 Emmys after party the 40-year-old actress continued to be the favourite dancing to Enrique Iglesias' I Like It in front of a cheering crowd. Footage from the party shows the carefree Modern Family star gyrating to Gloria Estefan's Conga on a podium next to the DJ at the Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles. Vergara was wearing the same aquamarine sequinned gown designed by Zuhair Murad, Modern Family won the Emmy for Best Comedy.

Lena Headey 2012 Emmys Breakdown-Leonor Greyl

Lena Headey 2012 Emmys Breakdown-Leonor Greyl

Celebrity Hairstylist Nathaniel Hawkins created the look of Lena Headey for the 2012 Emmys. Headey appeared in the first two seasons of the HBO series Game of Thrones, recently in 2012 movie Dredd science fiction action film directed by Pete Travis and written by Alex Garland.“Lena is wearing this incredible beaded black dress with a lace overlay, so we wanted to keep her hair deceptively simple and really modern to frame her face beautifully. I started off by spritzing  Leonor Greyl’s Tonique Hydratant evenly throughout her hair and combing the product through for even distribution. Then, I used just a couple drops of the Leonor Greyl Huile de Palme, emulsified it between my hands, and worked it through from her midshaft to her ends because we wanted the end result to be very sleek and shiny. Then, I applied a liberal amount of Leonor Greyl’s Mousse Au Lotus Volumatrice from root to tip. I like to apply mousse with a vent brush so that I can ensure that every inch of her hair is getting covered. 
(Styling Tip #1: When you’re putting the hair up in any manner, mousse will actually hold all the hair together so that you can create a beautiful form and style the hair anyway you want it to be.) I applied three generous applications of the Mousse Au Lotus Volumatrice via the vent brush; once on the left, once on the right, and once in the back. (Styling Tip #2: Products only work where they are applied. Most people just don’t apply enough product and so they can’t achieve the look they want.)
Then, I blew her hair out using a Mason Pearson type of brush to get a nice stretch and bend to the hair so that I could smooth it out, but not make it too flat. After it was about eighty percent dry, I went through and blew out the roots, section by section, and started creating some motion in her hair. I styled it so that the front part and bangs swept forward and around her forehead using a round brush to get that motion. The Leonor Greyl Mousse Au Lotus Volumatrice was the perfect tool to ensure her hair stayed like that all night because it creates great style memory for the hair.

Then, after letting her hair set for twenty minutes, I took all of the hair except the bangs and lightly backcombed the roots so that the hair would lock together and create a little bit of lift away from the head to ensure a beautiful shape. Afterwards, I pulled everything back to a low, ponytail at the nape of the neck so that it would lay flat against her neck and not stick out, which was very important for the look of her dress. I misted Leonor Greyl’s Lacque Souple to finish off her look. I used a tiny little brush, a toothbrush would work perfectly, and smoothed all the little flyaways into place. I love the Lacque Souple because it gives incredible, invisible hold and makes the hair incredibly shiny.” Leonor Greyl is available at Leonorgreyl-usa.com

Emily VanCamp Emmys 2012 Breakdown - Talika

Emily VanCamp Emmys 2012 Breakdown - Talika

Celebrity makeup artist, Rosie Johnston, created the look of Emily VanCamp for the 2012 Emmys, VanCamp well known as as Emily Thorne in the blockbuster ABC drama series Revenge.  â€œEmily is wearing a beautiful, kind of 1920s art-decoy very pale grey dress, in that it’s structured, but not, and it’s very ethereal, beautiful, and youthful. So we went for a very classic look, nothing that would take away from the dress. The look was youthful, classic, extremely polished while also looking effortless. First, I used Talika’s Instant Beauty as a primer because it is going to be extremely hot on the red carpet and a primer is really necessary. I applied it using a foundation brush all over the face, but mainly focusing on the T-zone. I loved Instant Beauty because it gave her skin dewiness while still remaining matte, which is very rare to find in a product.

We wanted a really defined brow and Emily has good brows already, but they don’t extend out on the end, so I used the Talika Eyebrow Extender in Dark Brown to create a nicer form and help her eyebrows look naturally extended out. I applied it straight through once to darken up the brow and give the appearance of the eyebrows being thicker. Then I went back and applied in areas that were a little sparser. The product was a great base to create a thicker, longer brow and also gave the shadow I used to fill them in later something to grip onto. For her lashes, I used Talika’s Heated Eyelash Curler, which was freaking awesome! It’s amazing and it actually makes the curl stay! I love it. I wanted to go for a thicker look for her lashes so I applied a light coat of mascara, then went back over, while the mascara was still wet, and applied the Talika Lash Extender for added volume and length, and then added another coat of thicker mascara on top. It made her eyes look very defined but you wouldn’t know that there was a lot there. This kept everything defined and polished. She looked gorgeous walking out the door. Classic, clean, and youthful.”  Talika is available at www.nordstrom.com.

Hair care by TONI&GUY fashion from ISSA at LFW

Hair care by TONI&GUY fashion from ISSA at LFW

Brazilian-born, London-based designer Daniella Helayel launched Issa in 2003. Since its early stages, the label has focused on creating silk jersey dresses in silhouettes and styles that make women feel comfortable, confident, and chic. By 2005, the label garnered a number of celebrity supporters, and in November 2010, received global attention when Kate Middleton wore a long-sleeved sapphire-blue Issa dress to announce her engagement to Prince William. In 2011, the designer announced plans to expand her label into a global brand by relaunching her business in the U.S., opening six stores in Brazil, and launching a children's line called Baby Issa.
THE COLLECTION: “The spring/summer 2012 prints are inspired by the Garden of Eden, Noah's Ark, vibrant underwater corals, passion and seduction. We started with our main theme and created mood and print boards of flowers, exotic plants, the sea, skies and corals." 

The team from TONI&GUY used these key products used to create the look:
TONI&GUY GLAMOUR SPRITZ & SHINE LIQUID MOUSSE $15.99 - Enhances shine and boosts body at the roots. Squeeze a small amount into your palm, work through towel-dried hair from root to tip and comb through. Heat style with a diffuser or air-dry.

TONI&GUY CREATIVE EXTREME HOLD HAIRSPRAY $15.99 - Achieve long-lasting dramatic hold and total control. To create a gravity-defying hold, spray over dry hair before and after styling.

TONI&GUY PREP HEAT PROTECTION SPRAY $15.99 - Conditioning formula helps protect against damage and breakage caused by heat styling. Spray evenly over towel-dried hair and comb through. Top up in between blow-drying and using straightening irons by spritzing over dry hair.
