Luster’s You Be-Natural Product Launch in NYC July 2014

I would be a liar if I said I didn’t love me some Luster’s Pink Oil! So when I got the opportunity to hang out at their launch event for the extension of their You Be-Natural line of products, I was totes excited.

The event was held at the Dream Hotel Downtown, which was a nice backdrop. Luster’s You Be-Natural Botanical Curl Stretch and Defining Treatment was the featured product of the night. According to hairstylist, ambassador and product developer, Kevin Pendleton, a.k.a. ‘K.P. the Texture Man,’ the You Be-Natural Botanical Curl Stretch and Defining Treatment alone doesn’t stretch and relax the curl, it’s the heat (if any) that is used in conjunction with the treatment. The treatment is made up of amino acides that bind to the hair restoring any protein loss due to color, as well as allowing moisture to better adhere to the hair shaft.

He added that the product bonds to the hair shaft, filling in any gaps. This means that wearers experience less frizzy because the hair isn’t “searching” for moisture in the hair and swelling (in other words, frizzing out like an electrocuted Cocker Spaniel)  because the hair shaft has been filled-in with moisture-blocking amino acids. Frizz free summers? Sounds good to me.

Manic Panic + Ricky’s NYC

By

Ricky’s NYC unveiled the newest salon edition to their Broadway location. I happened to stumble upon this gem of an event celebrating the opening of  Tish & Snooky’s Manic Panic Color Asylum at Revolver Salon. I. Was. PUMPED. I’ve been a fan of Manic Panic since I was a teen. I remember the only way my mom was able to get my to do my geometry homework was to dangle the the reward of getting the shade Pillarbox Red by Manic Panic in front of me. Let me tell you my homework was done in less than an hour.

Back to the event, though. I was on my way to work on a freelance assignment at a coffee shop next door, when I saw the signs in the window and heard the music. Deadline looming in the background, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to see what Tish and Snooky of Manic Panic and Ricky’s NYC had cooked up! So many beautiful heads wondurful colors. For some reason, I think faded hair color has more character–it’s been ‘lived in.’ You guys know I’m all for colorful hair (here, here, here and check my footwork in my Manic Panic wig from ’98 here). I was sad I could only breeze through and take a few pics, but take a look at the photos for proof of awesomeness.

Macy’s Shoe Sale! Pink Suede Shoes

By

Pink Suede Shoes by Guess
In this pink suede shoe, I could easily segue into the crybaby when “Nasty Girl” by Vanity6 plays in the club.

So are these shoes Vanity6-worthy or nah? Actually, they are. Try’an tell me they ain’t! I won’t believe it! I saw this pink suede shoe at Macy’s in Herald Square during a massive sale they’ve got going on. They made me feel like I could be Jem of Jem and the Holograms and sport my very own version of Synergy! I regret I didn’t take them home with me. This is a time when fighting the urge to shoe shop goes terribly wrong.

I’ll agree, it’s a little bit of a low heel for me and I’m all about the Sky High, baby, but this pair of pink shoes gave me some slight swoon action.

Maybe I’ll get another chance at these 80s inspired pumps. I’ve just made the executive decision that these pink suede pumps are a definite need-to-have.
