Get Her Look: Vanessa Minnillo

Vanessa Minnillo was recently spotted getting primped before a day out in the hamptons at the Maybelline New York & Garnier Surf Salon that was located at The Surf Lodge in montauk. the look was casual and beachy, but still very pretty.

here's how to get her beach-ready look:

makeup artist Kerry Malouf prepped Vanessa's skin with Garnier Nutritionist's new Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel-Cream Moisturizer, then used brand-new products from Maybelline New York to give her a pretty, beachy glow, including Dream Smooth Mousse Foundation, Eye Studio Color Gleam Cream Eye Shadow in Blue Freeze, andThe Falsies Mascara, which Vanessa could not stop raving about. she loved how fab The Falsies made her lashes look-- it's her new obsession!

next, hairstylist Danny DiMauro smoothed Vanessa's hair with Garnier Fructis' new Sleek & Shine Blow Dry Perfector foloowed by Color Shield Instant Color Sealer Lightweight Leave-In to add shine and UV protection. finally, he finished the look by creating, sexy tousled waves, perfect for a day in the hamptons.

new products are so exciting, right?! Maybelline has been releasing some greeat products lately-- i just purchased The Falsies yesterday (will be bringing you my thoughts soon)-- and that Garnier Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel-Cream Moisturizer sounds like it could be amazing. i'm keeping my eyes peeled...

Hair Therapy: Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition 3-Minute Undo Dryness Reversal Treatment

let me tell you straight out of the gate that i would pay more than the $5 and change i spent on Garnier's new Triple Nutrition 3-Minute Undo Dryness Reversal Treatment if i had to.
seriously. that's how much i love it.

this has become my absolute favorite drugstore deep conditioner, and for good reason-- it works so well! with a combination of shea butter and olive and avocado oils (along with other ingredients, of course), Triple Nutrition is deeply moisturizing and leaves my hair feeling so incredibly soft.

my typical routine with this is to wash and condition with Living Proof's No Frizz Shampoo and Conditioner, then apply Triple Nutrition, leaving it in for 3-5 minutes. the result is amazing. if you need or are looking for a deep conditioning treatment, you need to get this.

like now.

Products I Want to Try in 2010

the new year is around the corner-- can you believe it? 2010! wow...i remember, like it was yesterday, being in 5th grade, talking with my friends-- we thought we'd never graduate high school because it was "so far away", ha!

all of that aside, a new year brings us the opportunity to start fresh, set new goals and look forward to whatever is in store for us.

and of course, there are always new beauty goodies to try!

i like to keep a list of want-to-try products, and the following products are in my top 3 right now:




i'm a sucker when it comes to mascaras. Dior's DiorShow Exstase Mascara claims to plump lashes inside and out and give lashes outstanding volume. according to my blogging pal Amber, the tiered brush is fabulous for grabbing even the smallest lashes and from her before and after pics, i must get my hands on a tube of my own.




foundation is a product i am very picky about, so unlike mascaras, i'm not always quick to jump and try a new one. Lancome's latest, however, has caught my attention. the Oscillation Powerfoundation is mineral-based and its vibrating applicator helps to provide perfect coverage.




another one of my cannot resist type products are deep conditioners. my hair is thick and coarse, but with proper care i keep it healthy, soft and shiny. Garnier has an fabulous-sounding product out called 3-Minute Undo Dryness Reversal Treatment. this formula is infused with olive, shea and avocado and promises to reverse dryness, nourish deeply and leave hair silky soft in just one use. since this is a drugstore buy, you just might be seeing my review of this very soon. :)


tell me: what products are you wanting to try in 2010?
