And the Award for the Best Beauty Look Goes to...

Some of the girls looked so fab at the Emmy's Sunday night, that I had a really hard time narrowing down my choices as to whom my favorites were.

But I chose - and here are my top 3 picks.

She is just such a real looking woman, and I love her Emmy look. From the pale skin, pink cheeks, nude lip, and dark eyes - I want it all. And this look is pretty easy to duplicate which makes it an even bigger plus for me.

Heidi Klum -

No wonder she is known as a Super Model. She always looks fabulous, and I think she took her Emmy look right from Shakespeare. She is one Roman Goddess. The hair so goes with the dress, and the makeup - it is just perfect.

Katherine Heigl -

Where has she been hiding her glamorous side?  I mean she is just glowing with glamour. The dark eyes with her slightly bronzed skin and peach/pink lip is perfect. On E! I heard that her makeup was from DuWop. Enquiring minds want to know exactly which products and shades were used on her.  Beautiful!

Help for Summer's Tired Over-Stressed Tresses.

My brittle Summer sun-soaked hair needed major help. I turned to an unlikely source in Kiehl's.

I have used a few of their products before, and swear by their Hand Cream, but I had never turned to them for hair care items. But after reading in Cosmo about one of their new hair masques, I thought I would look into it more.

kiehls_hair.jpgAfter doing some research on the web, I decided to pick up the Olive Fruit Oil Nourishing Shampoo, Conditioner, and Deeply Repairative Hair Pak to see how they would work on my tired and overstressed tresses.

These products are made specifically for very dry, damaged hair (me!) and are all based with Avocado Oil, Lemon Extract, and Olive Fruit Oil. Many hair care products are formulated with Olive Oil, but never mixed in a formulation with the vitamins and amino acids that are ever so present in Avocado Oil & Lemon Extract.
Simply put, these products are not only nourishing, they are repairing, and protecting as well.

The shampoo - You only need a quarter sized amount to wash shoulder length hair. There is a sufficient amount of lather to the product and it rinses quickly and easily. It smells nice too - not overpowering! Upon rinsing, hair is felt almost conditioned - wow!

The conditioner - A small amount is all you need as well, as it is very rich, but spreads down over wet hair with ease. I left it on for about 2 - 3 minutes, and what was left washed out quickly as well. I swear my hair absorbed most of this, not just letting the product lay there.

The masque - This somewhat whipped texture product needed to be scooped out. I hate to dip my wet hands into a jar so I don't get water contamination issues, so I just grabbed a plastic spoon, and scooped 2 spoonfuls into my hand. I let this sit on my hair for about 7 minutes - longer than the suggestion, but I had a lot of shaving to do. Again, what wasn't absorbed into my wet hair was easily washed away.

The results - AMAZING! You would never, ever know that my hair is colored, highlighted, and recently beaten up in the sun, salt, and chlorine over the past few weeks. But the true test came the next day. You see, I left for a few days away trip that evening and brought my bottles of travel shampoo and conditioner that were already packed with me. I used those for the next two days, and my hair still looked and felt fabulous. I mean the shine is there, and it looks and feels incredibly soft. WOW - WOW - WOW!

If you are dealing with any type of dry or damaged hair issues and don't mind spending the money on all three products ($62) I urge you to take the plunge and splurge. And if you don't want to spend that much, at least invest in the Hair Pak. This product is awesome on it's own, and you will only be investing $25. ( I gave it to my Mom to try and that alone worked wonders for her.)

Available at Kiehl's Stores (you can look up locations here) and Kiehl's.com.

Have You Met Carol's Daughter?

Founded in a small kitchen in Brooklyn, New York, Lisa Price, a.k.a. Carol's Daughter is making a name for herself with her homemade beauty products - now available at Sephora.com

First there was Jada Pinket Smith, then Mary J. Blige - now moi!

OMG! The Almond Cookie scented products are divine! Almond, sandalwood, and vanilla make this scent combination so warm and sweet.  

The Body Cleansing Gel & Salt Scrub are in my shower this week. They are so rich - yet gentle, and smell - delicious!

I plan on trying a few or her goodies in the Ocean and Melon Melange scents next.

And if you are African-American, her hair products are rumored to be the best - secretly loved by some of the best in the biz! If you have tried any, please do let us know.
