Letter from the Editor

A s 2015 winds down and the madness of the holiday is upon us, I love to take the time to reflect on the past year and celebrate with family and friends. It’s been a great year and we’re so happy to close out our December Beauty issue with the stunning and talented Billie Lourd of Scream Queens on FOX. The show is already becoming cult, even though it hardly just aired its last episode exactly a week ago. In this issue, we also feature 3 intriguing fashion stories. The first, “Indifference Way”, displays winter sexiness. A story by Toronto based photographer, Alkan Emin, shows an amazing twist on royal portrates with modern styling, and the last but not least, an amazing fashion story shot by groomer/photographer Patrick Chai, featuring top model, Levi Stocke. Thank you for a wonderful year! From all of us at Bello Magazine, Happy Holidays! Sincerely, Nicole Walmsley

THE HOLIDAYS ARE UPON US AND GIVING GIFTS IS ONE OF THE BEST PARTS OF THE SEASON. I LOVE GETTING CREATIVE AND FINDING A SPECIAL LITTLE SOMETHING FOR EACH OF MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

FOR THE COOL GIRL

FOR THE GLAMOROUS

Glossier is a sexy, sleek, fun collection of products and the new Boy Brow is no exception. If your brows look good, everything else falls into place. After all, the brows are the frame to the face. The creamy wax formula and tiny little bristles will add a soft fullness and precise flexible hold. Choose from Blonde, Brown or Black.

Picky Lash Clusters are a fun gift for the girly girl in your life who enjoys getting dolled up. With four styles to choose from, you can decide precisely how much extra definition to add. I love that unlike a lot of strip lashes, Picky Lashes provide a more natural looking way to enhance any makeup look. Layer different styles for a unique combination. They’re ultralight and the perfect accessory to a fresh, polished face.

www.glossier.com

www.imsopicky.com FOR THE ENVIRONMENTALIST There’s something about using products with ingredients that come from the ocean that just makes you feel good. Osea Atmosphere Protection Cream is one of those products. Water, Algae Extract and Macadamia Seed Oil are some of the main ingredients in this lightweight moisturizer. It pulls double duty as a hydrator and protector against environmental damage. As the Dermal Proteins and Vitamin E improve elasticity, the quick absorbing formula leaves a matte silky finish, a perfect base for makeup.

FOR THE SPA LOVER SPARitual Sole Mate Foot Balm is a pampering experience in the comfort of your own home. With ingredients like Baobab Oil and Fair Trade Certified Organic Shea Butter, this hydrating balm is the perfect compliment to a home pedicure, or a treatment for tired, achy feet.

www.oseamalibu.com

www.sparitual.com FOR THE GIRL’S GIRL For anyone who loves and appreciates their girlfriends as much as celebrity makeup artist Jamie Greenberg does, gift the new Colourpop #SQUAD Collection; a genius collaboration between Colourpop and the talented artist. The gorgeous, richly pigmented blush, lipsticks, liners and highlighters are named after Jamie’s longtime clients, Rashida Jones, Beth Behr, Jordana Brewster, Katie Lowes, and Kaley Cuoco’s horse, “Santos”. Each piece is sold individually or together inside a brightly colored makeup bag. www.colourpop.com BEAUTY issue - BELLOmag.com

Riveting Reads of 2015:

Beauty Edition BY DEE TRILLO Senior Lifestyle and Travel Editor| Dee@BelloMag.com| @HauteFrugalista

NOWADAYS, WE CAN FIND A MILLION WAYS TO DO OUR HAIR OR CUSTOMIZE OUR MAKEUP LOOK. I LOVE HOW THIS NEW ERA OF TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIAL MEDIA IS GIVING US A CHANCE TO BECOME SELFLEARNERS AND CREATIVE MINDS, BUT NOTHING BEATS HAVING A PAPERBACK COPY AND READING HOW TO CREATE NEW STYLES, AT THE SAME TIME, WE LEARN ABOUT THE HISTORY BEHIND BEAUTY PRODUCTS AND ANCIENT TECHNIQUES. HERE IS OUR GUIDE FOR THE MOST COMPELLING READS IN THE BEAUTY MARKET THAT WILL GIVE YOU THE TRICKS TO BECOME A MASTER AT HAIR AND SKINCARE!

The New Braiding Handbook by Abby Smith: I’m in love with dreamy hairstyles that take your look to the next level. This book has 60 styles to choose from that would make Pocahontas and Elsa very jealous. They seem intricate and complicated, but this how-to guide shows you step-by-step the easiest way to become a master on chignons, ponytails, buns, braids and many more gorgeous and delicate hairdos! My favorite are the beautiful Waterfall Braid, Fishtail Ponytail, Dutch Braided Headband, Crisscross French Twist, and the Simple Headband Bun. BEAUTY issue - BELLOmag.com

Homemade Bath Bombs, Salts & Scrubs by Kate Bello: I’m a huge fan of DIY scrubs. I love to mix different scents and make my own blend to suit my current mood. This book agrees with my perspective that relaxation does benefit our overall health, and gives us great ideas on how to incorporate oils and salts for every ailment, skin type, beauty fixes, and season. My favorite chapters cover Chakras and Astrology. They are targeted for the need of every zodiac sign and teach us how to balance our mind, body and soul for a better lifestyle. 22

DIY DYE by Loren Lankford: Sand hair and pastel strands are some of the latest hair techniques to bring new life and color to our manes. This how-to guide provides you with useful tips to change your tone from home without damaging your hair. The best part is that it teaches you to incorporate natural ingredients such as lemon juice and chamomile, as well as safe products like tea bags and food coloring, so you can turn yourself into a chameleon.

Younger Skin Starts In The Gut By Nigma Talib: No amount of beauty product can have the same effect as a balanced diet and a skincare routine. This 4-week program gives you the necessary tools to identify what is making your skin lack collagen, become uneven or produce adult acne. Learn how environmental components as well as eating habits can be triggering negative effects in your body and complexion, and how to accomplish beautiful skin and a better lifestyle through a series of exercises and a healthy nutrition.

Stunning Braids by Monae Everett: Learn to create beautiful braids regardless of your hair texture or type. Braiding curly hair without leaving it looking like a mop can be quite difficult. I know this by my own experience, and this book has great tips on how to make even the coarsest hair look polished or edgy. My favorite are the Fancy Fauxhawk, the Knotted Updo and the Vintage Wave Cheat. Visit www.UlyssesPress.com for more genres including travel, cooking, fashion, spirituality and fitness.

FINDING WAYS TO UTILIZE THE SOCIAL PLATFORMS HAS NOW OPENED A WHOLE NEW DIRECTION TO PURSUE HIS DREAMS AND PASSIONS.

How and when did the collaboration with Apothecary 87 come into the picture? This really has been a journey from the start. They contacted me over a year ago to see if I had an interest in partnering for a signature hair product. Things really fell into place quick on the direction we wanted to go, and they decided the Clay Pomade would be the best choice for the needs that I was looking for. I was very adamant about this product being something I would not just promote but something I myself would use every

day. The most time consuming was the scent and development which took a year to perfect. Sample after sample was sent over until we got it right, and that is the formula that became known as “Lock, Stocke & Barrel”. Where can we find “Lock, Stocke & Barrel” Clay Pomade? You can order directly right now from http://www.apothecary87.co.uk which ships worldwide and also many of your local barbershops and salon retailers

are stocking their shelves for the beginning of 2016. Anything else we are missing or how can we stay tuned in with what is next for Levi Stocke? Actually yes!

COVER STORY

Royal BY DIO ANTHONY PHOTOGRAPHY BY YONI GOLDBERG

IT’S JUST A LITTLE PAST NOON IN HOLLYWOOD, AND INSIDE SUNSET BOULEVARD’S ROSCOE’S CHICKEN & WAFFLES RESTAURANT, BILLIE LOURD WHO YOU KNOW AS THE APATHETIC CHANEL #3 IN RYAN MURPHY’S SCREAM QUEENS, SITS IN A CORNER SIDE TABLE, WAITING FOR ME. THE LOCATION? HER CHOICE, AND IN RETROSPECT, IT COULD NOT HAVE SAID MORE ABOUT HOW THE INTERVIEW WOULD TURN OUT. 24-year-old Billie Lourd is many things. She’s a college graduate, a New Yorker at heart, the offspring of famous parents, and currently she makes up one of the four living Chanels in the FOX comedy. It’s a gig she’s both appreciative of and in love with. “I think the show is so unique and daring. It’s insane to me that it can be on Fox and be that cynical, and smart, without being censored,” she says. Scream Queens premiered with a two-hour debut on September 22nd, growing in audience and in body count, week to week. Touching on necrophilia, cold-blooded murder, and the neverending conversation of Stereotypes. Bending them and oftentimes using them for the sake of blood-sprinkled comedy and fun. Her road to pastel furs at the fictional Wallace University was a unique one. In March of 2015, after sharing a meal with the illustrious Show-runner [Ryan Murphy] at a Birthday soirée, her agents called her with the news that Ryan Murphy wanted to meet her in his office. Not only that, but he had an offer for her on his upcoming series. “I thought he wanted me to audition, and so I was just very relaxed and casual about the news. I didn’t think 35

he wanted to hire me, I knew that’s not how things worked,” she says. “The next day, they told me, you know that offer you didn’t sound too excited about? It’s an offer, not an audition. I flipped out. I didn’t know how he was doing this! The next week I was in New Orleans.” Her very first day of work as the sometimes loyal Chanel #3 would require her to film a scene with Emma Roberts, Nick Jonas and Abigail Breslin. “It was a trip showing up there and realizing I was on the same playing field as all these insanely talented, successful people,” she remembers. “I expected them to give me some somewhat of the cold shoulder, because there I was beside them, actors that have all been working since ever they could remember. I was lucky to have not only them understand my situation, but the entire cast. Particularly because of how they’ve been treated in the past.” Our waitress comes to the table and we order the same dish. The Waffle & Leg, simple and sweet, and not the least bit of fancy. We top it off with an Arnold Palmer, one of the best I’ve had in my years as a casual restaurant-goer. The food doesn’t take much to come out, and before I know it our friendly and attentive waitress is back with our

plates. “This is also the fastest place ever,” the LA native says. “You spend most of your time eating. not waiting! I have’t done the leg in a while,” she adds, while picking up her utensils. “I usually tackle the thigh, but I don’t know if I’m ready for that much Chicken right now.” Original Scream Queen Jamie Lee Curtis, who plays Dean Cathy Munch is another invaluable piece in the killercomedy’s puzzle. Lourd goes head to head with Dean Munch in one of her personal episodes to film—Black Friday. A scene, she confesses she underwent much preparation for. “That episode was tremendously fun, but also intimidating for me. Up until that point, I hadn’t worked directly with Jamie, or at all really. The night before I was like, oh my God, I’m working with Jamie, I really have to be on the ball. I was super nervous and so I apologized in advance in the case that I forgot my lines, and told her how I had prepped for her. She couldn’t believe it and was so sweet and told me to have fun and treat her as if she were one of the other girls.” Lourd purchased the multi-colored fur her character wears during Black Friday, admitting that the Number 3 in her isn’t far off. “They kill the fashion on the show.

fur collar to things. Or don’t hate the idea of some sparkly, soft earmuffs. My friend’s tell me I’m confusing realities, [laughs]. They could be right, during filming, it got to a point where we all knew our characters so well that we’d be surprised by what came out of our mouths sometimes.” But where was the girl with a personality so clearly made for the screen before she stepped onto the scene? After high school Lourd attended Wesleyan University in Middleton, Connecticut. “I thought I wanted the idealistic liberal arts school,” she recalls. “When I got there, I quickly realized it wasn’t for me. Everyone was doing things I had done as a teenager. I did a semester and called my dad and told him I didn’t know what I’d do if I had to go back there. He says to me, what does that even mean? What are y0u going to do? Is that a threat?,” she explains, unable to hold her laugh. “I left so subtlety,” she says. “When I went back to pack up my stuff, they were like, hey what’re you doing? I told them I was just hanging out in my room. I was in New York City the next day.” She laughs even harder this time, I can’t help but do the same. Lourd would soon enroll at NYU’s The Gallatin School, designing her major, calling it Art & Business As Religion. “I took Philosophy of Religion, Psychology classes, Acting, Music classes. It was the dopest thing ever. Their formula was perfect. When you’re 18 you don’t know what you want to do. At Gallatin you can create your space. Before going there I toyed with the idea of majoring in philosophy, because it was what I was most interested in, but what would I do with that? Become a teacher? NYU helped me find a place for those things.” “I could’ve stayed for 900 more years. It was so much fun,” she says, thinking back on her years in academia. “You can’t beat going to school in the city. Because you’re taking class in New York City and then when you’re done with class, you’re just in New York City! Gallatin was also the kind of place where you could choose to be with your BEAUTY issue - BELLOmag.com

classmates all the time, or you could choose to have a life outside and work. I worked at HBO for a year and a half. I worked on Documentaries because I thought I wanted to do that. I would work from 10-6 and then go to class from 6-9. I was doing a different thing in New York than where I’m at now. I was doing different things every week. There was no stopping it. At Wesleyan those options just weren’t there for me.” Not many actresses Lourd’s age have walked the various shoes she has. But even for her, the thought of her life now seems a bit surreal considering the steps her parents took to shield her from Hollywood. “My parents didn’t bring me to set, this was the last thing they wanted me to do,” she says with a giggle. “My dad desperately wanted me to get an MBA and go to Stanford. My idea was to to try auditioning, and doing the creative thing, and if that failed then we could hit up Stanford. Remember, this is the man that came to see me at summer camp and to his surprise I was Marian in The Music Man. He was so confused and asked me, I thought you didn’t like this stuff? I told him I was doing it for fun. Meanwhile I’m the lead in the camp musical. in May of 2014, Lourd graduated from NYU and came to the conclusion that she wanted to try her hand at acting once and for all. “I was embarrassed to say this is what I wanted to do because of how I was brought up.” That following November the graduate would fly to London for a month to film Star Wars; The Force Awakens beside her mother, Carrie Fisher in a much hushed about role. “I don’t know why But I fell in love with being on set, and once I was back in the states I started auditioning, fully committed this time. Two months later I would have my meeting with Ryan. I’ve been blessed” The past year and a half have been nothing short of a worldwind for Lourd, and if the amount of girls that dressed up as her onscreen counterpart for Halloween is any indication, there’s no telling where this charmed one will make us laugh next. Right now, it’s any Chanel’s guess. 40

Bulgari Domvs Museum in Rome Displaying a

Dynasty of Diamonds BY NICOLA FERLEI-BROWN

BULGARI’S DESIGNS ARE MUCH ABOUT THE MAGICAL CITY OF ROME, WHICH IS WHY THE DESIGNER HAS DEBUTED AN EXHIBITION ABOUT ITS MAIN MUSE, ‘BULGARI & ROME: ETERNAL INSPIRATION,’ ON DISPLAY AT THEIR NEW YORK STORE UNTIL THE END OF NOVEMBER, WITH 40 TIMELESS PIECES THAT DIRECTLY REFERENCE ITALIAN MONUMENTS. IN FACT, IT WAS BEHIND THE SPANISH STEPS, ON VIA SISTINA, THAT THE FOUNDER OF THE BRAND, SOTIRIO BULGARI, FIRST ESTABLISHED HIS BUSINESS IN THE 1800S. exhibition includes a cigarette case, covered in ancient Roman coins, which the couple presented to the film’s director, Joseph Mankiewicz and his wife, Rosemary Matthews. It reads, ‘To Our Favorite Producer and Wife / Lest we forget the glamour of it all / All Love / Elizabeth & Rich,’ explains Daniel Paltridge, president of Bulgari for North America. “Rome has always been the number one-source of inspiration for Bulgari so it is right to give back to Rome what Rome has given Bulgari,” the jeweller’s CEO Jean-Christophe Babin said as work began.

In addition, Bulgari is donating €1.5 million Euros to renovate the Spanish steps, the 18th-century Baroque-style stairway, which merges the church of the Trinità dei Monti and Piazza di Spagna. Expected to be finished by the spring of 2016, the steps will be “restored to the whole world in all their beauty and splendour,” Ignazio Marino, mayor of Rome, said. It was in Rome that Richard Burton bought countless gifts for Elizabeth Taylor, while the two were shooting the 1963 film Cleopatra in the city. The BEAUTY issue - BELLOmag.com

DIAMONDS AND DECADENCE The Monete collection, introduced in the 1960s, is set with ancient Roman and Greek coins. “Incorporating forms of currency into the designs speaks not only to Bulgari’s heritage, but also its experimentation with materials,” adds Boscaini, the head of the brand’s archives in Rome.

FLORAL FANTASY Bulgariâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest collection is inspired by Italian Renaissance gardens, such as the Villa Borghese, which on their doorstep, with flora and fauna in mind, by the exquisite Italian design team. The eternal dialogue between art and nature is embodied in majestic jewels and extraordinary watches.

BEAUTY issue - BELLOmag.com

DOMUS AND DIVAS In Rome, the Bulgari store has also created a display named Domvs, boasting the story of the brand and of its stylistic evolution. Located on the first floor of the historic store in Via Condotti 10, it displays images and belongings of the unforgettable divas whose extraordinary charm was celebrated by Bulgari creations: Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, Anna Magnani, Ingrid Bergman, Anita Ekberg, Gina Lollobrigida and many others. Domus, which means “house” in Latin, is a space for Bulgari admirers who wish to immerse themselves in its world, experiencing the decadence of the skilled craftsmanship and 130 years of its history. They will also hold cultural events, performances and private exhibitions of works of art. There is a trend at the moment for the private sector to help restore UNESCO monuments in Rome, which began three years ago with luxury shoemaker Tod’s financing restoration works at

the Colosseum. Fendi followed suit by refurbishing the Trevi Fountain, and Bulgari the Spanish steps. ”No other country has the fusion between style and fashion,” boasts Beppe Modenese, Italy’s Minister of Elegance.

Consequently, by purchasing Bulgari, you are helping Rome.

It is brilliant that big names in the fashion industry are making sure that la città eterna does not decay and disappear.
