Hollywood has moved to Utah for the week, and Aveeno has the real scoop at this years Sundance film festival. Yesterday celebrities continued to make their way in to the Aveeno Suite for some real TLC with Aveeno Celebrity Hair Stylist Patrick melville.

Their first appointment of the day was with the lovely Kaycee Stroh and her only request was to get volume that would last all day. Patrick Melville knew just what she needed, and after a wash and trim, Patrick generously applied the AVEENO Volumizing Foam and did his thing….the end result, was beautiful, but you can judge for yourself!

America Ferrera never disappoints, she always looks beautiful at every event she attends, and at Saturday night’s SAG Awards held in Los Angeles, she looked fabulous once again. She wore a beautiful Vera Wang beige chiffon gown, with black trim accented by a giant flower at her hip. Makeup artist Linda Hay wanted her make up to have a fresh and romantic feel, yet very modern to compliment her gown so she decided on a very clean eye, a peachy cheek and a deep red lip.

America Ferrera At The 2010 SAG Awards

Linda began creating her look by lightly evening out America’s complexion using YSL’s Touche Eclat where necessary, around the eyes, the nose and the corners of the mouth, followed by a light dusting of powder. She then applied Shu Uemura’s “Peche” directly to the apple of the cheek for a fresh, youthful look.

For the eyes, she drew a fine line on the top eyelid with beth bender beauty’s BFF Get in Line Eyeliner Trio and then set with Onyx Stay Put Gel Liner. Next she gently swept a shimmering white shadow across the entire lid, up and into the brow. With a smaller pointed eye brush she used the silver shadow from the same BFF palette to the bottom lid and from the inside corner to the outside corner of the eye. The inside of the eye was lined with Jouer’s eye clarifier “Clair”. Finally, Linda applied three generous coats of Chanel mascara to both top and bottom lashes. The brow was strong and well defined using Anastasia’s Brow Kit, and Finally on the lips, she used Mac’s “Viva Glam” for one very glamorous red carpet look.

Got tangles, well I do and I’ve got the perfect solution…Head Organics Leave In Conditioning Spray. It’s infused with hydrolyzed soy protein & plant based glycerin. I used it the other day and I gotta tell you, it got the knots out of my hair without breakage…yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Not always the case with other leave-in conditioners.

Head Organics Leave-In Conditioner

This fabulous product is weightless, nourishing and one of the most amazing danglers I’ve come across.  It also calms any static your hair may have as well as smooth your fly-aways…hate those…!  The plant based glycerin helps maintain your hairs moisture & resilience while the soy protein strengthens & mends your hair.  The fragrance is botanical based and won’t bother your allergies or clash with other fragrances you might wear.

After washing & conditioning your hair with Head Organics Shampoo & Conditioner, apply the leave-in spray conditioner, combing through from scalp to ends.

John Ortiz stopped by the AVEENO suite yesterday looking for a remedy for his untamed curls; after all, he was attending the premiere of his new film “Jack Goes Boating” later on that evening. AVEENO celebrity hairstylist Patrick Melville pointed him in the right direction. After 30 minutes in Patrick’s chair and instructions to apply the new AVEENO Curl-Defining Spray Gel when hair is wet and let dry naturally, John’s mind was put at ease and so was his hair.

America Ferrera stopped by the AVEENO Suite looking a lot more petite than on TV, but just as sweet as you’d expect. Everyone’s favorite “Ugly” star looked hotter than ever despite the cold temps at Sundance. Cute Couple Alert, Sporting a hat and a t-shirt of his fav sports team, the Jets, “Dodgeball” and “Mr. Deeds” star Brandon Molale unwound at the Oxygen Bar with a stunning blonde by his side.

Just minutes before the AVEENO Suite closed for the night a troop of lovely ladies and one happy guy, Simon Rex, stopped by for a little relaxation. The gang soaked in the aromas of the Oxygen Bar and each left with a giant bag filled with swag…this is Sundance after all.

Friday night’s “Hope for Haiti Now” telethon brought together some of the biggest names in Hollywood. Some like Selena Gomez, Bradley Cooper and Vanessa Hudgens, took to the phones to accept donations. While others like George Clooney, one of the driving forces behind the event, and Robert Pattinson, talked about the importance of technology during a crisis, and shared stories from the aftermath of the earthquake. There were performances, all of which were very moving, and it was hard to turn away for even a second. Singers like Jay-Z, Bono, Sting, Sheryl Crow, Stevie Wonder, Madonna, and Beyonce all took to the stage, either solo, or with surprising duets and covers. Needless to say, the night had many memorable moments, and lots and lots of tears.

Many of the celebrities who were on hand that evening had already made huge donations, like George Clooney, Leo Decaprio, Brad and Angelina, and Julia Roberts to name only a few. It’s not often you see Hollywood’s leading ladies working side by side to answer phone calls, Reese Witherspoon, Drew Barrymore, Julia Roberts, and Cindy Crawford coming together on such a very special evening, and looking very happy to pose for this picture.

Justin Timberlake was one of the many artists at the “Hope for Haiti Now” benefit who took to the mic Friday night. He performed a powerful cover of Leonard Cohen’s song “Hallelujah,” which he said was fitting for the telethon during a post-show interview. He sang alongside Matt Morris, a former Mickey Mouse club member, who Justin recently signed to his label.  Sacha Baron Cohen, Jennifer Aniston and John Cusack also answered phones at the phone banks in Los Angeles during the telethon.

Native son Wyclef Jean revealed from New York City how he had pulled friends from rubble and carried bodies to the cemetery while in Haiti last week. He later ended the show with his performance of “Rivers of Babylon,” then shouted, “Enough with the moping, man!”

To find out more about what you can do to help with earthquake-relief efforts in Haiti, and for more information, Visit HopeForHaitiNow.org or call (877) 99-HAITI to make a donation now.

Drew Barrymore was ready for an action-packed evening at this years SAG Awards held in Los Angeles. She was spotted arriving for the annual Awards show on Saturday night looking darling in a deep blue gown, while she showed off that infamous smile making her way down the red carpet. Drew was nominated for her role as Little Edie in the “Grey Gardens” documentary, which for those of you who haven’t seen, is a definite must!

The Beautiful Drew Barrymore

Her makeup artist, Debra Ferullo created Drew’s look for the evening, which was a combination of 60’s beauty’s Brigitte Bardot, and Sharon Tate. For the makeup, Debra didn’t want to match the blue color in her dress, but rather to accentuate Drew’s natural features with warm undertones. On her face, she prepped the skin with a moisturizer and then used COVERGIRL Clean Liquid Makeup for normal skin followed by a highlighter, and COVERGIRL Simply Ageless Blush in Plush Peach on the cheeks. A fabulous blush that goes on beautifully.

For Drew’s 60’s inspired colorful smoky eye, Debra applied COVERGIRL Smoky ShadowBlast in Bronze Fire, using the darker shade on the lid and the taupe shade in the eye crease as well as underneath the eye. She then applied a dot of the silver shade in COVERGIRL Smoky ShadowBlast in Silver Sky to the inner corner of Drew’s eye to make it pop followed by a thin line of white eyeliner on the inner bottom eye.

She finished the eye with a heavy coat of DiorShow Blackout Mascara to the top and bottom lashes for definition. On Drew’s lips, Debra applied DiorAddict lipcolor in Beige Negligee #223, followed by DiorAddict Ultra Gloss in Jersey Pink #157 for a washed peach lip with a shiny finish.

An absolute gorgeous look from head to toe, and worthy of any red carpet!

Kisses from Hollywood!

It’s that time again girls and boys…drum roll please…The Te-see Bender Hot Beauty Picks (I choose not to live without). Being a beauty, fashion, and celebrity blogger has given me the opportunity to try out a wide variety of products out in the market and let me tell you, I absolutely love many of them!  However, I decided to focus on 5, (otherwise this post would be 100 pages long)…lol.

#1  Latisse – the miracle drug of the 21st century, if you ask me!!!  Thank you Allergan:)  No longer must you live without lashes.  Lumagan based and first discovered by glaucoma patients that when used daily their lashes grew to extraordinary lengths…Retails between $100 – $150 depending on the doctor.  I advise you to shop around.

#2 Jane Iredale’s Lash Conditioner – when applied prior to your favorite mascara, the result is WOW!!!  Retails for around $16.  My friend Verna Rose got me hooked on this all natural lash conditioner:)

#3 Lings High Vitiman C  Serum - I put this on every morning after I use Lings powerful hydrator.  My skin just glows through my SPF and everyone wants to know how & why my skin glistens…A few drops a day will protect your skin from harmful irritants as well as balance your tone.  It’s $75 for a bottle but worth it girls…Visit Ling Skincare to purchase or find a spa in your area that sells it!

#4 Elastiderm - by Obagi Medical Products. This miracle eye gel will tighten up your upper & lower lids if used daily.  I see a difference if I forget to put it on…and that does not work for me because I absolutely hate droopy lids…elastiderm is one of the best alternatives to surgery. Only available through a skincare professional.

#5 Bioelements SPF 50 FaceScreen - I am a huge fan of bioelements entire line.  This specific SPF is rich and creamy and will leave your skin feeling soft and smooth…but most importantly…well protected from the harmful rays of the sun. Now available at Beauty 360 located in your local CVS Pharmacy. If your local CVS does not have it then visit bioelements to purchase.

Now I ‘m ready for anything the world wants to throw at me…lol:)

There are so many mascaras out in the beauty market but do they really deliver all that they claim…Being a bit of a Beauty Ho, I’ve tried them all…and one of my favorites is Jane Iredale’s Longest Lash Thickening & Lengthening Mascara. This amazing mascara contains sea minerals that will condition your lashes so they can continue to grow to their fullest potential while the cellulose fibers temporarily lengthen them.

Jane Iredale's Longest Lash Thickening& Lengthening Mascara

This mascara does not flake and will give your lashes a much more rich and glamorous look.  You’ll never want to coat your lashes with any other mascara.  It’s available in 6 rich colors.  Black Ice, Espresso, Dark Blonde, and for a more dramatic look, Dark Auburn, Ripe Plum, and Slate Grey.

te-see & joanie loving their long lashes thanks to Jane!

Julia Roberts is the latest celebrity to join the many famous faces selling beauty.  Lancome’s New Beauty Queen made her official debut this week as Lancome’s Global Ambassador. Seen here looking as beautiful as ever and ready to make

a real committment to beauty basics. “I think I have to stand up straighter and wash my face more,” the actress told WWD. “It’s kind of like every girl’s dream, really,” she said. “To be 42 and have three kids, and be a working mom. I think it says a lot about Lancome and what they stand for.” Well, we have to agree, and think they made an excellence choice.

And what does Julia get from all of this? “I think the nice thing about getting older is it forces you to take a great interest in your beauty regime. And so it’s a good moment for me to join forces with people who can help me,” Roberts laughed.

We think you have plenty of time before you need to worry about looking older Julia. Plenty of time:-)
