Mischo Beauty: Zee's Red Door Spas Blow-out!

During Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, my new beauty editor-at-large - yes, please meet Zee! (pictured above) - and I headed over to Robert Verdi's The Future of Fashion Retreat to enjoy a break away from Lincoln Center, as well as complimentary blow-outs by Red Door Spas! And just so you know, her hair is natural (she doesn't chemically straighten it), but she does color it. Her finished look was achieved by blow drying with a round brush and flat ironing. So tell us, what do you think? GORGEOUS! Please join me in welcoming, Zee!

Mischo Beauty: Rene Furterer's OKARA Collection

I'm a huge fan of the Rene Furterer collection of products (I'm sure you all know that by now!) due to the fact that I've had an opportunity to use just about all of them during my apprenticeship at Elizabeth Arden Red Door. My favorites are the complete Karite regimen (for very dry scalp/hair), Complexe 5 Regenerating Extract (pre-shampoo treatment) and the Okara 2-Phase Leave-In Protective Conditioner (great for color-treated hair).

And while we're on the subject of color-treated hair, Rene Furterer sent me their Okara regimen of products (specifically for color-treated hair), which includes the Okara Protective Radiance Shampoo, Okara Restructuring & Protective Radiance Mask and the Okara 2-Phase Leave-In Protective Conditioner. Now I'm mentioning this collection to you because recently I shared a beauty tip on Twitter regarding investing in products to protect and maintain haircolor.

If you're going to invest so much in haircolor services, then it only makes sense to maintain that investment with the very best products! I've used the Okara regimen on clients in the past and I've always loved the results, so I thought I'd share it with you.

I love answering your haircolor questions, so please leave them in the comments section and I'll get right back to you!

Mischo Beauty + Mercedes Benz Fashion Week (Part 3)

As I mentioned earlier, I spent this past Sunday in New York for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week and what a whirlwind of a day I had! I left DC on the 6:20am train and arrived into NYC at 9:45am. I was so excited the night before that I barely slept! Anyway, once I arrived into Penn Station I then walked over to Bryant Park to secure my press credential. I can't begin to tell you about all the beautiful people in the tents! Beautiful hair, makeup, bags, shoes, clothes- amazing... I must admit that I sat brieftly and had an espresso just so I could people watch! From there I walked to 5th Avenue and couldnt' resist stopping in Sephora, Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa and Salon, and then the lengendary Henri Bendel where I almost lost my mind in the beauty department! If you've never been- you must go!

From there I hurried back to Bryant Park, this time in a cab, to meet fellow beauty bloggers Lianne of The Makeup Girl and Julia of All About The Pretty. Wonderful women with great blogs! Check them out!

Later that evening, as you've seen in previous posts, I attended the Angel Sanchez and Tuleh shows. What an experience! The energy was unbelieveable!! Hair and makeup- up close and in person! I'm working on getting backstage access for the Spring '09 shows- so stay tuned! Crawl before you walk... the greater the challenge, the greater the reward.

After the shows I headed back to Penn Station to catch my 11:05pm train back to DC. Can't begin to tell you how tired I was- but it was a beautiful day well spent at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week!
