Sofia Vergera at the 2010 Emmy Awards

Sofia Vergera is a joy to watch on screen and just as charming on the red carpet. If you haven't been watching Modern Family you need to add it to your line up. Sofia look gorgeous last night, thanks in part to stylist Jenny Cho who gave her those beautiful waves. Here's how she did it:

1. Start off with a good foundation using Suave Professionals Almond and Shea Butter Shampoo and Conditioner. This will deliver moisture to the hair before styling.


2. Before blow drying, apply a small amount of Suave Professionals Healthy Curls Mousse to towel dried hair. This will help shape the curls and hold them in place.

3. Next, spray Suave Freeze Hold Hairspray onto small sections of hair before wrapping the section around a 2 inch barrel curling iron. For loose, voluminous waves, don’t close the tongue of the curling iron!

4. Finish off the look with the Suave Professionals Volumizing Finishing Spray. The lightweight formula will keep your curls intact without weighing them down.

How to Avoid Vacation Breakouts

by Dr. Hilary Reich via Daily Makeover

There are a variety of reasons why we break out when traveling, but the major reason is stress. Stress affects our hormone levels, and hormonal imbalances cause acne.

Travel also disrupts our normal skin balance due to sudden changes in the temperature and humidity levels. A change in the mineral content of the water we use to cleanse our skin is another factor. Water with a higher mineral content ("hard water") means it harder to rinse off soaps and cleansers. Read on for more tips from dermatologist, Dr. Hilary Reich on avoiding vacation breakouts.

Christina Hendricks at the 2010 Emmy Awards

Christina Hendricks was one of our favorite Emmy looks again this year. We love her coloring (that perfect red hair) and her amazing curves. Her smoky lilac Zac Posen dress complemented her perfectly. Lancôme celebrity makeup artist, Vanessa Scali, used Mia Farrow's character from "The Great Gatsby" as her inspiration. Here are the details on Christina's look:

Face:
Vanessa prepped the skin with Lancôme’s La Base Pro. To perfect Christina’s already luminous skin, Vanessa used Lancôme’s new Teint Miracle Lit-From-Within Makeup (pictured below). “It has an amazing transparent quality that leaves the skin looking flawless and luminous without being shiny,” said Vanessa. “I applied it with a brush and then blended with my fingers.” Blending with her fingers heated up the foundation a bit, allowing for a seamless finish. Vanessa followed with Effacernes Concealer under the eyes, her “all time favorite concealer.”

Cheeks:
For a fresh pop of color I used Lancôme’s Blush Subtil Shimmer in Pink Pool on the apples of her cheeks. Dabs of Giorgio Armani Beauty’s Fluid Sheer #2 highlighted Christina’s cheekbones.

Eyes
The eye shadow was mix of YSL’s Ombre Solo Eyeshadow in Cashmere Brown and Midnight Black. “I applied these all over her lid, under the bottom lashes and blended it out past her natural lash line to softly elongate the eye,” reported Vanessa.

Eye Liner:
To define and elongate the lash line, Vanessa lined the eyes with Lancôme’s Le Crayon Khôl in Black. “I used a touch of liner under her bottom lashes but smudged it for a softer look,” said Vanessa. For added depth, Vanessa used Artliner Precision Point Eyeliner in Noir at the very base of Christina’s lashes.

Mascara:
Several generous coats of Lancôme Définicils Waterproof Mascara in Black were used on the top and bottom lashes.

Lips:
Christina’s lips were a mix of Lancôme lip colors for an effect that Vanessa described as “red with a little dash of pink.” A sheer coat of Color Design Matte Lipstick in Corset was topped by La Laque Fever Lipshine in Cyber Coral.

January Jones at the 2010 Emmy Awards

We weren't impressed with January's Versace dress and her hair was more frizzy than glamorous; but her beautiful makeup by Chanel artist, Rachel Goodwin, was a different story. Rachel spoke about her inspiration,"For January's make up I was inspired by Irving Penn's iconic photos of his wife/supermodel Lisa Fonssagrives, whose signature extended eyeliner symbolizes the epitome of elegance. I used ultra feminine colours with super sculptural liner for a cool update on that classic late 50's silhouette."

Here's how she created January's look:

"I used Chanel Liquid Eyeliner in Noir along the lash line for an exaggerated cat eye effect, adding extra lashes on just the very outer edges for added length. I then applied two coats of inimitable Chanel Inimitable Intense Mascara in Noir on the top lashes and one coat of Chanel Inimitable Intense Mascara in Purple on the bottom lashes. The rest of the face I kept understated using minimal foundation, pale pink cream cheek colour and Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss in Confidence on her lips. I finished the look by dusting her brow bone and lids with a loose iridescent pearl shadow with a hint of purple to play off the super reflective quality of her dress."

Booze-Infused Ice Cream

liquor ice cream

We love when our two of our favorite foods are combined into one tasty treat. The Silver Moon lines of adult-only ice creams pairs the icy, sweet treat with liquor for flavors like Pomegranate Martini sorbet and Orange Creamsicle ice cream with Cointreau. The Silver Moon ice cream is available at Whole Foods in northern California or for order online.

Bobbi Brown's New Black Velvet Collection

Bobbi Brown Black Velvet Collection

“Yes, sooty lids and goth lips look great on the runway—but how do you make them work for real life? By infusing plum, cherry and maple tones with black and giving them a translucent texture, I created shades that are strong, powerful and a little shocking—but also wearable and sophisticated.” - Bobbi Brown

It's true that we saw a ton of dark vampy makeup at Fashion Week Fall 2010. Bobbi Brown's contribution is a beautiful set of lip and eye colors that will give you (like she said above) a wearable, dramatic look for fall. Available September 2010.

Read more on how to get the vampire look from Hope's post on Brilliant Color and Beauty Today.

Bachelorette Party Ideas #28: Philadelphia

Philly bachelorette

Next month, we'll be heading to the city of brotherly love for our friend Felissa's Bachelorette Party. The bridesmaids chose Philly as half the girls are in D.C. and the other half are in NYC so it's a nice in-between spot. Plus, Felis is a HUGE Mets fan, so we're heading to the Mets-Philly's game that Saturday. (That's Felissa, second from left, at our own bachelorette party.)

Even if your bride isn't a baseball fan, there are lots of reasons to head to Philly. It's affordable, manageable to get around and there's plenty to do both during the day or night. For starters, the Franklin Institute is hosting a Cleopatra exhibit now through January, 2011. Eleven hotels are offering a "Cleopatra Girlfriends Weekend Itinerary".

As for our group, we're staying at the Sofitel. We're still figuring out where we're eating and partying, but Cuba Libre and Alma de Cuba are definitely in the running. We have a special Saturday afternoon surprise (more on that later) and are hoping to squeeze in a pole dancing class at Pole By Patricia.

We'll be sure to share all the dirty details, so check back in a month!

Bachelorette Partys Ideas #27: Montauk Yacht Club

Montauk Bachelorette Party

While the Hamptons may have more flash, Montauk, at the far eastern end of Long Island, has traditionally been the laid back, surf spot. For your bachelorette party, you can rent a house, stay in one of the many upgraded shack hotels or do what we're doing this weekend and stay at the Montauk Yacht Club.

The 80-year old storied hotel, that has hosted guests including the Astors, Vanderbilts and Morgans, recently underwent a multi-million dollar renovation. The rooms have a nautical theme, along with modern touches like flat screen TVS and iPod docks.
Montauk


The restaurants got an upgrade, too. We hear there's a great cover band on most weekend nights during the summer and that the servers are super-friendly, if not super fast--hey, it's a beach resort.

During the days, we plan to lie out by the pool. If you're more adventurous or motivated, the hotel can arrange a group surf class for you and your girlfriends. On Saturday, we're braving the traffic to head to the Ferrari Rally and Polo Match--we couldn't decide between Italians and Argentinians, so we're attempting to hit both events!

Follow our adventures via Twitter. We're on as JSGHope and JSGAnne.
