Oscar Blandi styled the models’ hair for Jenni Kayne’s show during New York Fashion Week. This video shows a little about the show, Oscar’s looks, and the makeup styles used.

Products and Method:

Oscar used Oscar Blandi Volume to create the depth and volume in each braided look. He also used Oscar Blandi Jasmine Oil to finish each look. The amount of product used is pretty minimal to give it a much more organic look.

Personally, I like the messy hair look. Granted everything is over-the-top when on the runway, but these looks could be toned down some (i.e. make them a bit less messy) and it would become very wearable for everyday. Thoughts or opinions?

Get a free sample of Hampton Sun’s new perfume “Privet Bloom”. Visit the Hampton Sun website to request yours, click on the “free sample” link on the left of the page and complete a short form (Warning- the form was a bit quirky with me. It worked better when I clicked in each field, rather than tabbing through).

A description of the scent (sounds perfect for spring and summer!):

A delicate scent that captures the purity and elegance of summer in the Hamptons, with a fresh and unique blend of sea spray, dune grass, blue plum and the captivating privet blossom.

St. Louis, Missouri used to be a fashion mecca. In the past few years, thanks to a downtown renovation and a big push by independent and upcoming designers in the area, Alive Magazine has relaunched St. Louis Fashion Week.

The event runs from March 24th through March 30th, with launch events on March 14, 15, and 20th. Last years event was a huge success! If you are in the area, and a fashionista (or just a slight fashion fan), be sure to attend. The list of events, designers, and ticket information is available on St. Louis Fashion Weeks website.

If any Bionic Beauty readers are planning to attend, email or leave me a comment. I’ll be there and we can meet up!

As part of this week’s 52 Weeks of Community for bloggers, the project is to post a new poll. Since not everyone is as always beauty-obsessed, I thought it would be nice to have a new poll that shows a little insight as to what we all do during on time on the internet.
