Urban Eskimos Invaded the Runway at Rag & Bone

Backstage at Rag & Bone the inspiration was urban eskimo.  Loose braids sporatically placed throughout the hair that “look as if a girl did them herself as she day dreams about her boyfriend” were paired with windswept skin and rosy lips.

The Redken lead stylist didn’t want the braids to look too perfect.  Each model had two that were secured with a clear hair band and then pulled out a bit to make them looser.

Gucci Westman was the lead makeup artist for Revlon and leaned on a new Revlon compact that comes out in October to complete the look.  It featured a quad of what looked like a mix of lipsticks and eyeshadows. The lipstick was used not only on some of the models’ lips to make them pinker, but also on the eye lids to create more texture.

Check out this video of Gucci Westman doing a model’s full face:

How To Video: Ballerina Inspired Updo’s
Natalie Portman blew us away in  Black Swan, but it seems it’s really the ballerina inspired updo that’s taken Hollywood by storm. The ballerina look gave the Golden Globes red carpet a fresh, sophisticated look and will be a continuing trend throughout the winter and spring.

Stylist to the stars, Roy Teeluck, who’s known for working with Bar Rafaeli and Olivia Palermo recently created a How-To Up-Do Video so that we can all get this glamorous looks at home.  Check it out:

Video: Experiencing Sundance in Style

Hey!  I’m at Sundance and had a fabulous first day!  Yes, it’s cold and it’s snowing, but Utah is gorgeous!  Amber and I are staying at the Escala Lodge At The Canyons, which is a Hyatt hotel in the middle of the mountain and skiers are actually skiing right outside of our windows.  Penn Badgley was on our flight (in first class of course) and as soon as we landed we spotted Adrian Grenier in an adorable snow hat.  Two hotties in one day, not bad.  Tonight we went to see Ticket to Paradise, which was perhaps the most disturbing movie I’ve ever seen, but well crafted.  Check out my video on how I’m staying warm and stylish live from the mountains!

BeautySweetSpot’s Top Five Posts of 2010

It’s been an incredible year thanks to you, my readers!  According to your clicks and the time you’ve spent on my site I can measure which posts you really read, which you didn’t care for and which were a huge hit this year.  Allow me to introduce the top five posts of 2010 according to you:

1. 2010 International Emmy Awards Highlights - This had to be because of Rita Pereira‘s show-stopping cleavage.  I scored an exclusive interview with the Portugeuse actress backstage that cause quite an uproar.  The YouTube video of the interview now has over 1,152,650 hits!

2. Holiday Gift Idea & Giveaway: Calvin Klein Euphoria – You love giveaways, but this one really hit home for readers of all ages and got quite competitive with 26 entries!

3. Ban Cellulite Now – Every woman’s enemy no matter how much they weigh: cellulite.  So it makes sense this one was a big hit.  Hey, it revealed the truth!

4. Vajazzling, I Had To – Ah, vajazzling.  Yes, one of the biggest crazes of 2010 and apparently you were intrigued!  Of course, I had to take it a step further and report on penazzling too!  Hey, it’s only fair!

5. Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show: Backstage Makeup Secrets Video – Covering this sexy event was one of the highlights of my year.  I had exclusive backstage coverage of the taping of the sexiest show on earth just for you!

So it’s been a pretty good year for BeautySweetSpot with some fun interviews including Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian and oh yea, remember when Julia Roberts called me and my other blogger friends “cute” at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards? – awesome!  But I promise that there is much much more in store for you, my readers in 2011.

Thank you for your support this year!

Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show: Backstage Hair Secrets Video

Sam McKnight, lead hairstylist behind the 2010 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show described the look as “sexy, full, voluptuous, gorge, movable, touchable – dream girls with dream hair.”  Yep, that pretty much sums up Bombshell waves!

His secret: clip in extensions.  All of the girls besides two were wearing them (some glue in) to accentuate their hair and give them va-va-voom appeal. In the video below McKnight explains the look and converses with Alessandra as she impatiently begins to do her own!

Key products used were Very Sexy Hairspray (can be used on the bod too!) and Tousled Waves Enhancer.
