Panache Beauty Experts

Let's talk natural- How about a Papaya Mask!

Papaya has a natural enzem called papain
When used on the skin, it works to gently dissolve and exfoliate dead skin cells and brings new cells to the surface. Viola- a healthy looking complexion.

DIY Face Mask:

1cup papaya
1tbl pineapple juice
1tbl oj
1tsp warm honey 

Blend in mixer, then
Pour in bowl with the honey (you can add oatmeal to thicken or in Martha Stewart's' version yogurt.

Side Note:
As facial treatment papaya essential has been used as face masker for fighting the acne.

Brow Dreaming

Most of the girls at Panache and co. Salon work with brows. The stand outs are Sabrina, Gina B and Carly. Each has a talent for getting the brow balanced just right for your facial shape. It's not so cookie cutter and that's why I love them.



This spring 2013 brow trends have blossomed. The looks are fuller, not the over twee-zed styles of the past. That hard look will make you look old!

Some of us as we age have less brows to work with. If your one of the less fortunate like me I have to pencil in my brows using Tigi brow definer. Great product- it doesn't come off in humidity.


 If you don't grow brows in some areas, there are a number of products on the market right now. I myself bought this Anastasia Brow Kit this weekend. I hope it works.


In the mean time one of my brow beauties at Panache and co. Salon, will clean the strays and make sure the brows are balanced. Have you made your Spring 2013 Make up Refresher appointment?

See you there

Keratin Blowout Reality


Frizz is upon me! I've cut my hair short and I seriously don’t remember it being this frizzy a few years ago. I like to let it air dry most of the time, I don’t mind wave but frizz is a NO, NO
Even with styling the moment I drive to work in Del Mar my hair freaks out. Ashley Simpsons hair is my dream (right now). Less messing around for goodness sake.

Ashley Simpson

I know some of you out there have long hair and have these same issues. While I was trying to make my decision I came across this lovely ladies video post. She has hair like me but long. This sealed the deal for me.
 Michelle from Redomestication.com, she answered a lot of my (after I get this done what happens)




I’ve decided to try the Keratin Complex Blow Out.  The full treatment will last 3-4 months. The wait after the in salon portion is 72 hours. No bends in the hair, moisture, ponytails, etc. Dry and flatiron ASAP if any of the aforementioned happen-


Less money/Less smoothing but good in a pinch is the Express Keratin Blowout.
If you just need a quickie that has a shorter duration: in salon time (1 hr vs. the few hours), waiting after in salon, (8 hr vs. 72), and length of time the results last (4-6 weeks vs. 3- 4 months)- try the Express Blowout.
 This has less of the Keratin ingredients; this is why the results are more subtle. In other words the hairs wave pattern is less smoothed out. 





Wish me luck

I have a dance to go to and I'm breaking out, how do I get rid of the problem?

Our in house experts at Panache


  1. Stress can bring on a rush of hormones that cause our skin to react with a breakout (Zit). My advise is to start with a neutral cleansing product Cetaphil , Target carries this product and it's  recommended by numerous dermatologist nation wide. It should balance the skins PH level. 
  2. Next take a warm washcloth and apply it to the problem area for 7-10mins. This should move the bacteria to the surface.
  3.  After apply a neutral toner, Witch hazel has long been astringent used to reduce swelling. Bonus: witch hazel helps reduce sweating and has anti-oxidant properties.
  4. At night apply a product containing Benzoyl peroxide, Burts Bee makes a great natural solution for acne. I've tried this an love, just don't use the scrub right before your dance.
We hope this solves the problem in a few days. Don't pick it causes more trauma to the skin and you stand the chance of a larger breakout in the surrounding area 

Have a great dance. I'm sure you'll look just as lovely as Ashley Greene

At the Office: Lips and Spring Fever


Lip Scrubs and DriesVan Noten


With the time change it brings a rush of spring fever over me. At the office I’m starting my spring renewal with my lips. Winter has ravaged my poor lips, always peeling, cracked and dry no matter what balm I use. My new weapon against dry lips LipScrubs! Good bye wash cloths and toothbrush, hello Brown Sugar. I came across t he Sara Happ website (fun) it has a section on Devotees- Celebrities like Rachel Zoe, Jennifer Garner and the ever fashionable Olivia PalermoShe is quoted as saying: I am card-carrying beauty junkie and magazine addict. Sara Happ has loved all things "lip" for as long as she can remember.
"I brought my curling iron, blow-dryer and Lip Smackers with me to Girl Scout camp. We slept in tents." She explains. 
With Sara's help my Dries Van Noten Spring 2013 Fuchsia lips will be purr-fect.

Beauty Experts Answer your Questions



So I asked our resident Master Makeup artist Sabrina M. to answer Charity’s Beauty Question

Charity f

How do you know when lash glue has gone bad? And how do I get them off without ripping my own lashes out.

Panache Master Make up Artist

If the lash glue has separated (liquid from the opaque glue) this is an indication of rancid, or if it’s yellowish and has a super funky smell. The smells a bit but funny anyway but if it smell super smelly throw it out.
Thank you, for your question.

Beauty Question of the Week on Ask the Expert



Thank you for your question. The question ask was and the answer are as follows:



Le Bel Age Boutique When you flat iron hair, should it be 100% dry, or should there be some moisture in it ?


Karen Angel
It depends on the shape and texture of hair you are working with.
Tigi sessions Work it spray is the most useful , you can have workable hold that isn't to moist , for extra strength root hold Tigi Your highness spray is a great choice. Mist the hair in a sweeping motion for even distribution and control. Have fun and play with the wonderful shape you can create .  

With love  XO

Today Show: Eco Nail Polishes




My passion is all things fashion and now living a less toxic lifestyle. Daily we are bombarded by cellphones, laptops, cars and self inflicted toxic behaviors.
 After hearing my husband’s long conversation about his hate of nail polish and how he wouldn't let our child wear the toxic goop, I decided to find the holly grail of polish. Good news, it’s Scotch. Not the drink I love, but a totally vegan, biodegradable nail polish! The color selection is fantastic, see for yourself. 




Watch this Today Show spot
Bonus: They have a Kids Polish line. My sweet baby girl loves polish like her mommy, the down side, at 6 she can’t keep her fingers out of the mouth. Well if she eats this off- not so scary. Hopscotch Kids is vegan, gluten free and biodegradable.   
Now the girls of the house can have their fashion and eat it too! Eco Chic rules.
