Romantic Notions: Wedding Inspirations and Makeup

With the San Diego Bridal Bazaar coming up on Jan, 26th @ the Convention Center and Valentines day around the corner I thought we would do a Monday Wedding Inspiration Mood board.

Now I'm already married but I'm still a mushy romantic and love a great celebration. I love to create fantasy wedding boards because it encourages me to remember all the good things about relationships, not just with my husband but relationships with friends and family too.
One of my favorite Panache Stylist is Sabrina Mangiavillano, she’s a very talented stylist with a gift for makeup application. She uses the Dinar Airbrush system for makeup applications that are flawless. I think for any event this is the way to go. It’s a longer wear makeup technique, which means you shouldn't look tragic by the end of your event.

I've sat and watched Sabrina as she wields the airbrush gun and am thoroughly amazed at this process. You really need to understand the principles of color and how shading affects the overall look. I guess that’s why she is one of Panache Master Colorists, she get’s it.

I know I will be attending the San Diego Bridal Bazaar Sunday January 26th and I'm hoping to talk some of the Panache & Co Stylist into coming with me. Inspiration is found in all things don’t you agree.

How to Make My Keratin Treatment Last


How Can I make my keratin treatment last?

edit BBSW


Be sure to use a shampoo with no sulfates. Sulfates are a lathering agent that swells the surface of the hair to lift the dirt and oil away from the scalp and hair.
We have a few options here:
  • Keratin Color Care Shampoo: this is a great product that extends the vibrancy of your color. It has a bit of Keratin mixed with soy and wheat proteins that give your hair the protection it needs.

I would alternate this with
  • Mastey Traite sulfate-free moisturizing shampoo. Why you ask- in order for your hair to be its healthiest, a balance of moisture and proteins must be present.
Mastey Traite is so gentle you can use all over your body and it will leave you feeling soft and it combats dry scalp. Wow!
KEY to this softness is a blend of Vitamin A, B5, C, lipids, rice proteins and minerals and
Note: this product contains no polyethoxylated detergents, sulfosuccinate, sarcosinated, glucolsides or polstyrenes, for all you nature lovers.

Be sure to use the conditioners for each of these lines and you should see your Keratin Complex Treatment last and look health.

Bonus Product: Infusion by Keratin Complex
  • This beauty repairs and revitalizes you hair during blow drying or ironing.
  • Please ask you stylist if this is right for your hair type.

I Know You Want It- Smooth, Soft and Shiny Hair

I know you want it -smooth, soft and shiny!

Catwalk Oatmeal & Honey Hair care,
It’s the product of choice for those of you that have tragically dried out, frizz prone hair. The ingredients sound like a comfy winter meal and the smell is sweet, warm sugar cookies; at least that’s what comes to my mind. With Oat kernel extract, Wheat protein Sunflower seed oil and Honey as just a few of the key ingredients it’s no wonder this product is so creamy thick. Other ingredients are synthetic derivatives of green tea (to prevent bacteria) and lactic acid (milk) for scalp conditioning.

Most of us turn up the heat in the shower which robs our lock of the essential moisture needed to keep it shiny and frizz free. I know I’m not ready to temp down in the shower; maybe some of you are willing to go polar bear club style in order to bring out your glossy hair, if not -TIGI Catwalk Oatmeal & Honey Trio is your answer to winter hair
