Three Quick Fixes to Cover Your Grays

What's a brunette girl to do when she has random gray hairs popping up every day (they seem to come out of nowhere) or is in need of a quick fix between colorings? I found three great products that work well to cover grays. Read on for more...

My grays are around the front and within the crown of my head. Here they are camouflaged well. Nail color is  Essie's Merino Cool. Jewelry by Kelly Gerber.

One of the best ways to cover gray hairs is with the TouchBackQUIX Hair color Marker. It comes in several shades and is easy to apply and control. It's REAL hair color in a marker that bonds to hair and will not rub or flake off. Just lift hair up and away from the scalp and apply to gray area. Washes out with shampoo.

Everpro Beauty Gray Away temporary root concealer has a self-adjusting color technology that   matches hair color perfectly and dries quickly. The spray application product is made of mineral derived pigments (no dyes) so it's safe for pregnant women. It's perfect if you have a lot of concentrated grays...no more line of gray roots in between colorings. Available in two color options--Light Brown and Dark/Brown Black.

Roux Tween Time Temporary Hair Touch up stick a temporary color crayon that applies like a lipstick and washes away with shampoo. I like this product because it is good to keep in your bag for quick touch-ups or for travel.

Create the Perfect Cat-Eye: Lessons from Alexa Chung

I love the look of a cat eye but find most liquid eyeliners difficult to control and time-consuming to apply. Thanks to "it" girl Alexa Chung, there is a product that's so easy to use, it's pretty much dummy-proof.

 

Alexa teamed up with Eyeko to develop a set for creating the perfect cat eye, her go-to beauty look. Below is a quick video by Alexa Chung on how-to create the perfect cat eye!

 My daughter Rachel is a big fan of the cat-eye look so I asked her to test out and demonstrate the product.

Step 1: Draw the outer line first and wing out from the top of the lid. The EyeKo liquid eyeliner is like a pen marker and can be applied with great control.

Step 2: Finish with EyeKo mascara for extra thick, dark lashes. Add a dark lip stain and a quick brush of your favorite eye shadow to complete the look.

Mani Monday: The Perfect Natural Manicure

Before a recent trip to Cabo, I decided I would try my first gel manicure. I heard it can be damaging to the nails, so I avoided getting these mani's even though they are super stylish and very popular. The brand and shade recommended to me by the lovely ladies at Beverly Hills Nail Design was CND Shellac™ in the color Romantic. It looked great and lasted for 14 days…perfect for vacation.  P.S. There was NO nail damage once the polish was removed. 

I love the clean look and mirror-like shine!  CND Shellac in Romantique.

If you are looking for the best natural (regular) nail colors, here are two great options from essie to choose from as seen on a few of these fab ladies at the Oscars.
