The Bender Sisters Meet Designer Sue Wong

The Bender Sisters — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:25:27 +0000

Sue Wong lives to design…Her gorgeous dresses & gowns are romantic as well as timeless. Just one glance will take your breath away…especially if you’re a die hard ‘romantic‘ like the Sisters! Sue is known for bringing beauty & allure to women worldwide…

At the age of 6, Sue and her mother barely escaped communist China to join her father in Los Angeles. It was the seductive & slinky styles of the silver screen, the decadence of Weimar Berlin, the fervor of Jazz Age Manhattan, the exotic intrigue of 1930’s Shanghai and the excitement of bohemian Paris that contributed to Sue’s shaping and inspiration for her fabulous Hollywood Style. At 19, she opened a unique bohemian boutique on the famous Venice Beach Strip…It’s here where she created one of a kind gowns by embellishing them with embroidery & beads she took from fragmented vintage gowns. Once she established her credibility as a fashion designer, she then began to create her signature line under her own name. In 1985, together with her business partner Dieter Raabe they established The Sue Wong label for contemporary more playful daytime dresses. In 1999, an elegant evening line was launched bringing much more success to Sue Wong designs and thus establishing Sue Wong Nocturne, her signature collection!

Here’s a prelude of her Fall Collection…The Bender Sisters will be amongst the celebs next week at Sue’s exclusive Fall Collection Fashion Show…so, keep an eye out for her glorious and breath taking designs and start saving your money girls…:)

Get Elizabeth Banks Red Carpet Eyes

Lars — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:25:56 +0000

At the 2010 Academy Awards, Elizabeth Banks accentuated her icy gray Versace gown with eye shadows in the same hues. To get this smoky eye look , her inner eye lids were lined with a metallic gray color that was sexy and sparkly for the red carpet, without being too heavy.

Using a medium sized eyeshadow brush, a rich berry shimmer shadow was applied under the bottom lashes, and up into the crease, (try Good Girl, Gone Bad Eyeshadow palette, $36). To highlight the brow area, a matte ivory shadow was applied along the brow bone.

To finish the look, Elizabeth’s brows were defined by filling in the sparse area’s, and removing any stray hairs outside the actual shape. “Creating a strong and sculpted brow is a must when doing a look like this,” says celebrity artist Beth Bender.

Keep the lips on the lighter side with a nude or pale pink hue. Try Chasing the Cash (nude-beige shimmer) Perfect Pout Gloss, $16 bethbenderbeauty.com.

Best New Facial Products By ST. Ives For Under $6

Lars — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 20:36:40 +0000

The gracious ladies at Kaplow P.R. in NYC know how to throw a breakfast par-TEA! Remember St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub…It was very grainy, even rough for sensitive faces like mine…But, everyone loved it! St. Ives has not only revamped their commitment to clear, smooth skin, but they have refined their product’s ingredients.

At Dawn Cameron’s Sanctuary T, located in the landmark cast iron district of SOHO, N.Y., I had the pleasure to drink some of the best teas in the world. Dawn is so passionate about tea and it’s history, you can’t help but to walk away from Sanctuary T feeling relaxed, charged, and healthy. The place has such an organic, calming feeling. (Sanctuary T was named 1 of the top healthiest and tastiest places to dine in NYC…It is also 1 of Kelly Cutrone’s favorite places…she pop’s in all the time!) But, I’m getting side tracked…

ST. Ives Green Tea Facial Cleanser

St. Ives has joined forces with some of the most powerful dermatologists and aestheticians available like Dr. Marsha Gordon who was at hand to explain the benefits of St Ives Green Tea Facial Cleansing Wash and Exfoliating Scrub…it all makes sense now.

ST. Ives Green Tea Facial Scrub

As consulting dermatologist for St. Ives, Dr.Marsha Gordon answered all of our questions and concerns. Dr. Gordon was named by New York Magazine as one of New York City’s “Best Doctors,” for the 11th consecutive year. Dr. Gordon has a simple & straight forward approach to keeping skin looking young and healthy. She often advises effective, gentle treatments and products over costly procedures. According to Dr. Gordon, “St. Ives new facial product treats breakouts & reduces redness with soothing and organic green tea. Green tea offers a completely organic solution to cleanse, detox, and support your skins healing properties”.

If you have sensitive skin that is prone to acne & redness, hold on to your knickers girls! Now there’s a drug store product that costs under $12…For the pair!

First the essentials: St.Ives guarantees this product is:

*Non-comedogenic
*Hypo-allergenic
*Dermatologist tested
*Not tested on animals
*Does not contain animal products
*Has no formulated Parabens or phthalates

The St. Ives Green Tea Cleanser also supports at least 2% salicylic acid to refresh and renew skin’s surface. The scrub supports 1% salicylic acid.
Green tea has always held microbial and anti bacterial properties. It is known to help the body maintain internal and external hydration.

So girlie’s, I walked away not only hooked on these new products, but hooked up with the confidence with research that is simple, organic and so effective.

In with the old for youth fullness!

Yours truly and blemish free,

Lars XX

ST. Ives is available at Target, Walmart and most drug stores nation wide.

Get Jennifer Lopez’s Radiant Red Carpet Glow

Beth — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:58:19 +0000

The day after the Academy’s most sites, especially beauty, fashion and celebrity are loaded with their takes on who they loved, and didn’t love. So with that being said, forgive us if we have indulged a little more than usual.

Jennifer Lopez who looked exceptionally radiant last night shimmered in pink silk organza, and matching pink cream highlighter. Her makeup which usually has more of a bronzed feel to it, was ‘Hollywood Glamour’ all the way! “I wanted to create an ethereal movie-star look,” said NARS makeup artist Matthew Vanleeuween, who created the look after being inspired by her dress. Mission accomplished Matthew!

“I kept the cheekbones high and highlighted with NARS Enchanted Cream Blush for a soft and supportive look. The eyes were tightly lined, top and bottom, and the brow bone was highlighted with a light shimmer to open the eyes, and define the brows. He finished with a wash of illuminator over her entire face to complete the effect.

Products from NARS used to create this look:

* Orgasm illuminator
* Enchanted Cream Blush (new for Summer 2010; try Gueule de Nuit Cream Blush for a similar effect)
*Desire Blush
* Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base (new for Summer 2010)
* D. Gorgeous Single Eyeshadow
* Brousse Duo Eyeshadow
* Larger Than Life Volumizing Mascara
* Cruising Lipstick
* Sweet Dreams Lip Gloss

Get Vera Farmiga’s Look From The Oscars

The Girls at BSW — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:09:23 +0000

Supporting actress nominee for “Up In the Air” Vera Farmiga took a big fashion risk with her huge, ruffled fuschia-toned Marchesa gown. To balance out her look, hairstylist Lona Vigi, who also created Cameron Diaz’s do, kept Vera’s tresses low-key, but still full enough to see the hair from straight on.

“It’s a lot of dress,” Vigi said, “and it’s beautiful and vibrant, so we basically wanted to keep the hair off her face, but also keep it strong.” The key to creating the look was making sure Farmiga’s hairstyle complemented her narrow face shape. “We wanted to make sure we saw hair on the bottom when you looked at her straight-on, especially with her face shape. I didn’t just want to have no hair.”

Vigi achieved volume on top and bottom, without losing the pretty proportions by First drying Farmiga’s hair with a Velecta Paramount blow-drier, using Volumizing Catalyst for lifting the roots from LiQWD, and for added volume on top, she used a round brush and concentrated on the roots.

Next Vigi gently back-combed the hair on top and in the back to get a little lift all-around. She then tied the bottom section to the nape of her neck with an elastic, wrapping the ponytail, section by section, into a loose chignon secured by bobby pins. “Vera’s like me, we don’t like hair super constricted, so it looks really serious,” she said.

Next, the hairdresser added a Fred Leighton diamond brooch to her hair on the left-back side for a little extra bling, and finally, she sprayed the entire look with L’oreal Elnett hairspray for a light hold.

Cameron Diaz’s Sexy Waves Inspired By Old Hollywood

The Girls at BSW — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 21:30:36 +0000

Red carpet gowns and up-dos were the signature look on many celebrities who attended last nights Oscars, but long hair when done well, can look fresh and modern on the red carpet too. Just look at Cameron Diaz, who certainly showed that down-dos can be equally as chic.

The blond bombshell went for classic Hollywood waves to complement her beaded gold Oscar de la Renta strapless gown. Her hair stylist Lona Vigi, who created the style, used the “cool air” switch while blow drying to set waves in place.

“I also used the Volumizer Catalyst product from LiQWD, which is the greatest product for fine hair,” said Vigi. “Then we hot-rollered her whole head, so she could wear the waves swept to one side, old Hollywood-style.”

Our Favorite Beauty Looks: Oscars 2010

Ingrid — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 21:10:37 +0000

Nicole Richie took her signature cat-eye makeup one step further by layering a thick black gel liner with shapely silver and deep gray shadow. She added a strip of false lashes to finish her starlet, ’60s-inspired look, and we just loved it! Making them the most dramatic eyes of the evening.

Red Carpet Beauty How To: To get Nicole’s Cat Eyeliner, start with the eyeshadow first. Apply a pale silver shimmer to the eyelid, followed by a dark gray shadow in the crease, and extending the color so it ends right below the eyebrow. Try the BFF Smoky Eye Palette, and use the Cat Eyeliner Stencil included in the kit for creating perfect eyeliner just like Nicole’s.

Once you have done eyeliner on both eyes, have the desired thickness, and point, using a black gel eyeliner trace over shape to set the color, and prevent smudging. Try Stay Put Gel Eyeliner in Onyx.

Our other Favorite Red Carpet look last night at the Oscars was Sarah Jessica Parker’s gorgeous hair, and tons of it! This look totally worked, (although many thought not), and we liked her Chanel Haute Couture gown that was simple, yet so complex at the same time with a one of a kind neckline. Stacked bangles and large cluster earrings added more bling to her mix, and perfectly applied eyeliner made her stunning green eyes, even greener. The artfully woven pieces showed off her impeccable hair color, which was a blend of honey and rich brunette.

Note To Our Readers: Last night in Hollywood the weather was touch and go. The rain thankfully did not come, but many other sites not based in Los Angeles were commenting on Ms. Parker’s fly-away’s, and if you looked closely there were many other ladies who had the same problem. As far as the buns go, we think it was a smart move considering the mess that could have been if it had poured as predicted by our fabulous weather people.

Get Sandra Bullock’s Beauty Look On The Red Carpet

The Girls at BSW — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:40:58 +0000

I’m sure most of you Oscar die hards such as myself were watching the 82nd Annual Academy Awards last night! The dresses this year were gorgeous…I don’t think there was 1 that I didn’t like:) Ms. Sandy Bullock looked stunning in her gown, straight hair and red lipstick…

Sandra Bullock at the 82nd Academy Awards

Her old Hollywood gown was designed by Marchesa and hugged her body in all the right places…The new Chanel Red Lipstick made a statement of it’s own…To get Sandra’s look (without the gown) try using a top of the line flat iron such as the new IZUNAMI which not only straightens hair but curls it as well. Her makeup is simple…use Beth Bender’s Cat Eye stencil from her “Get in line eyeliner” kit for the tight black eye liner around Sandy’s eyes, followed by a dusting of the ivory color all over the eye lid up to the brow bone. Add some Jane Iredale mascara for extra length and thickness and finish with the newest lip color shade Rouge Coco by Chanel. A classic look all in all…
