“The sea and its oddities are contained in the collection of Ilaria Blanda.

In love with the water and with what animates wthe seabed, Ilaria remains enchanted by a particular starfish.

The Starfish Gorgon, typical for its tentacles that recall the myth of Medusa, reappears in the outfits of her collection. Meticulous graphic manufactures born from the creativity of the designer that reproduce the effect of the coral.

The collection is bounded to a young and attractive women who are aware of their innate femininity, women able to petrify the man with one glance, just like Medusa La Gorgone. A woman who flaunts her sensuality in interchangeable dresses that emphasize her shapes, keeping, however, a sort of comfort.

“Deep Charmer” is a summer collection that alternates day looks with cocktail or evening outfits; competitive clothes in a market that feels the crisis, but that hides refined details and Haute Couture products.”

“I fell for her in summer, my lovely summer girl, From summer she is made, my lovely summer girl, I’d love to spend a winter with my lovely summer girl, But I’m never warm enough for my lovely summer girl, It’s summer when she smiles, I’m laughing like a child, It’s the summer of our lives; we’ll contain it for a while She holds the heat, the breeze of summer in the circle of her hand I’d be happy with this summer if it’s all we ever had.”

- Maggie Stiefvater, Shiver

Beauty Reviews Beauty Supplements

Biotin and other beauty supplements have probably been on your radar for awhile. But did you know there’s a new supplement on the market that’s 9 times better AND more effective than those Biotin pills? It’s called GLOW Vitamin Bubbles. Yes, they are bubbles!

GLOW Vitamin Bubbles are a chewable, liquid-filled “bubble” that allows for more than 80% of the supplement’s nutrients to be absorbed by the body, whereas only 10-20% of Biotin pill nutrients are absorbed. In other words, one GLOW Vitamin Bubble is equal to 9 regular pills or capsules!

These bubbles go beyond what Biotin does by including a blend of 8 beauty-enhancing vitamins and nutrients that will renew collagen formation, fight acne, provide tighter/brighter skin, protect from free radicals, provide stronger/longer nails, and luscious voluminous hair. They do not contain any unnatural ingredients, harsh chemical binders or fillers; only the promise of better hair, skin, and nails. Did I mention they’re blueberry and acai flavored? Who knew vitamins could be this delicious and fun?!

Our Reveiw: They remind of of the bubbles at the bottom of bubble teas. They definitely taste good, but the results are yet to show, as with any supplement, it takes time for the benefits to be visible.

Hair Say hello to the new Rusk Anti-Frizz Spray, the latest addition to RUSK’s 2014 Styling Collection.

Push aside dangerous smoothing treatments, creams, serums and shampoos and try the spray that weatherproofs hair against humidity for a frizz-free finish. RUSK Anti-Frizz Spray creates an invisible barrier to style-busting humidity without weighing hair down, while providing color protection and strengthening hair.

NEW! RUSK Anti-Frizz Spray will retail for $18, 8oz / $7, 1.5oz at ULTA, Cosmoprof and Fine Salons Nationwide

Our Review: We are in LOVE with this spray and have not stopped using it since we reviewed it. It provides just the right amount of hold without it feeling stiff.

Skin

Dry skin and winter go together like humidity and summer. It is inevitable and happens to just about everyone, no matter if they reside in New York or California. Many people flock to their drug store to find moisturizing face cream, but if the wrong cream is chosen, it can make skin oily or clog pores. Looking for products that moisturize with extracts, but also help skin become healthier and brighter are a win-win. Perfective Ceuticals Skin Brightening Mask holds moisture 1,000 times its weight, evens out skin tone, hinders the formation of melanin, reduced wrinkles and protects against free radicals. The active ingredients in this mask are clinically proven and help give a youthful, dewy glow that shows off true radiance no matter what time of year.

Our Review: In order to really benefit from this product, it needs to be used regularly and for a prolonged amount of time. So our review is very limited

Hair Introducing Twister, the innovative, easy to use, DIY hair curler that is truly damage-free. Twister allows you to style and dry your hair simultaneously to avoid excessive heat damage caused by traditional styling techniques such as curling irons or hot rollers. Twister attaches to any blow dryer and provides soft, natural looking waves and curls in five simple steps. Get celeb inspired, Hollywood tousled tresses with Twister.

Twister is very easy to use and perfect for professional and at home use alike. It is ideal for anyone who desires natural looking curls and waves such as women/men, moms on the go, teenagers, people with disabilities and even professional hair stylists. Twister is even effective in styling hair extensions and wigs. It is an excellent, money saving alternative to pricey salon services. www.forstyler.com

Our Review: Tried and LOVED. The waves created with this curler lasted ALL Day Long!

Whether straight or wavy, it’s all about volume for hair. Giovanni’s Ultra-Volume Collection gives you this. Featuring papaya and tangerine butter, the collections plumps strands and adds body and lift. It features a light formula for weightless control and defines waves & enhances curls. Straight hair will benefit from the Ultra- Volume Super Potion Hair Volumizing Booster. It gives hair a fierce fullness, is humidity resistant and helps prevent frizz and breakage.

Our Review: Tried this product during the hotter months as well as the cold months, and we LOVE it. Tested on curly and straight hair and we are truly impressed. We give this one five stars!
