Hey Folks,
We’re experiencing some extended internet connectivity issues this week in the office. We’ll be back as soon as we can!

Get a bright white smile with Luster NOW! Instant Whitening Toothpaste
After I saw Luster NOW! Instant Whitening Toothpaste in Allure’s Best of Beauty, I decided to pick some up. It’s a pretty impressive product. While it’s primarily marketed for its’ cosmetic benefits, it’s a pretty good toothpaste as well – your teeth will be whiter and your mouth will be minty fresh.
Here’s the deal – Luster NOW! has blue-tinted microspheres that leave an undetectable blue tint on your teeth for about five hours. Much like how blue-tinted lip colors make your teeth look whiter, the blue microspheres do the same thing. You can’t see them, you just see whiter, brighter teeth. Don’t be scared off by the Smurf-blue color of the toothpaste when it’s in the tube – it really just looks white.
As I mentioned, it lasts about 5 hours before your teeth lose their boost of whiteness. Fortunately the tubes are purse-sized and come in packs of three, so you can stash one in your desk at work for mid-day touchups!
Find Luster NOW! Instant Whitening Toothpaste at Amazon.com!
Trying out Red with Janine Jarman
Seems like there is red hair on everyone lately. Not sure if you are ready to take the plunge? Let Janine Jarman show you how to try out a red color before taking a complete Joan from Mad Men plunge:
Want to test drive red color without a long term commitment? Ask your stylist for a Sebastian Professional cellophane treatment. These ammonia-free colorizing gloss treatments last for 6-10 washes and are a great way to ease into a new hue. For the brunette bombshells out there, try a Sebastian Texture Tandem treatment and a brown cellophane to keep your locks healthy and vibrant. This silkening, re-texturizing treatment will amp up your brown while smoothing and sealing your locks.
How to style an Undone Beehive by Janine Jarman
This week we are happy to have Janine Jarman, owner of Hairroin Salon, as a guest contributor. Today she tells us how to get an undone beehive look:
Wanna get the fun undone beehive at home? I suggest getting a micro crimper to help achieve this look. This tiny crimp iron makes the crimping virtually undetectable and super effective when done at the roots for volume.
1. Prep wet hair with Sebastian Volupt Spray and Texturizer to help build grip, texture and volume.
2. Micro crimp hair at the roots, then pull apart and brush out. Part from ear to ear and leave out.
3. Gather hair in a light French twist and secure with bobby pins.
4. Back comb the front ear-to-ear section. Drop out the fringe and some bits on the side. Secure to the top of the French twist.
5. Finish with Sebastian Re-Shaper hairspray.
