Hawaiian Shores Collection from Avon


This summer I am trying to live a life at the beach, vicariously through my beauty products. If it promises to give you a beachy glow, sun kissed color, surfer girl chic hair, or smell anything remotely oceany or tropical, I'm all about it! So it should come as no surprise that I was super interested in Avon's new Hawaiian Shores Collection.

Tracey Cunningham and Redken Color Your Summer

I have been infatuated with red hair since I was very little. I believe I was around 13 or 14 years old when my mother allowed me to use my first semi permanent hair rinse and for years following that I continued to experiment with different products to achieve the perfect shade of red for me. I dabbled in highlights and a little bit of blonde from time to time, but red was always my main objective; my hair was never entirely in it's natural hue until I was pregnant with Lo. That was about 5 years ago, and I haven't colored my hair in over 6 years (the hubby likes my hair exactly the way that it grows out of my head, so I'm okay with keeping it that way...for now). My hair is the same shade as my eyes-the darkest brown it can be, so dark it appears to be black until the sun hits it, allowing you to see its true richness. I have 2 gray hairs on my head (and one gray eyelash and a few grays in my eyebrows as well) and I sport them proudly (right now I view them as a badge of honor and as something that I have earned, though I do pluck the grays in my brow).

I still am fascinated by red hair and hair color in general, especially as I see the great advances in products, techniques, and shades lately. As is the case with most trends in fashion, the warm weather of the summer signals the time turn up the heat, even in hair color! This season, the most popular hair colors are golden brunettes, vibrant redheads and platinum blondes.  Moving away from the cooler brunette and red tones of last season, Tracey Cunningham, Celebrity Colorist and Redken Creative Consultant for Color has the latest in Spring/Summer hair color trends and professional haircolor products to achieve these trends and get the hottest looks for the season.


To make these Spring/Summer haircolor trends accessible, Redken is launching the newChromatics prismatic permanent haircolor that will result in 2X fortified hair.  






This Zero Ammonia, Zero Odor formula provides 100% coverage, multi-dimensional, 4D color results and unlimited color possibilities.

MAC Wish List: Casual Colour Collection

If I haven't disclosed this already, I love makeup. A LOT! Recently, I've become more and more enamored with MAC Cosmetics. I've heard people complain about how many new campaigns they come out with, but for a beauty junkie like me, seeing all the new colors, formulas, packaging, etc. coming out on a regular basis is pretty darn cool.

One of the latest collections to come out is the MAC Casual Colour Collection for Summer 2012. It's available on line right now, and should hit stores on June 7th. This is how the MAC Cosmetics website describes the collection:




"This is weekend chic, M.A.C.  style. Mineralize Skinfinish, Studio Fix Mascara, Prep + Prime Highlighter, and new all-in-one Lip and Cheek Colour Pots. Effortless and easy, this barely there formula feels like wearing nothing at all."
