We are just loving the Cannes Film Festival at the moment! Every day another celeb walks the red carpet in a stunning dress… fashion, hair and beauty… what more could you want.

Emma Watson arrived on the red carpet for the premiere of her new movie ‘The Bling Ring’ and well Emma is our style icon and she just looked stunning!!

She wore a monochrome Chanel dress which had sparkly black top half with the back cut-out and the a white fitted bottom. Her hair was swept up into a loose bun.

Create Emma’s hairstyle by using the Denman D81M Porcupine Brush (Click here for USA Site). This brush is perfect for Emma’s sleek up-do as it has a mixture of nylon quill and boar bristle. This means that you will be able to detangle the hair but add gloss and shine to it. Brush the hair back into a ponytail and leave a few strands of hair to fall forward. Slide the ponytail through a Denman Bun Ring and secure with another elastic. Pin the hair around the base of the bun ring so there aren’t any bit of hair sticking out. Curl the strands of hair to give a softer look.

We love this dress… and so jealous right now! We think all the girls will be hitting the shops this weekend to find themselves a lace black dress!

The gown itself is very elegant but we love that cara wore a gorgeous diamond necklace with dripping earrings to match! Her make-up was black smokey eyes with a dark red lipstick to give her that gothic vampy look!

Even the black and white photograph is stunning and she looks amazing!! :)

To create Cara’s wavy hairstyle, use the Denman D75 Hot Curl brush (click here for USA Site) on damp hair. The brush has a heat retaining barrel which heats up when blowdrying the hair with hairdryer. Wrap sections of hair around the brush to create wave in the hair. Once the hair is completely dry, pin the hair around to one side and finish with hairspray!

Nicole Kidman Get Us Ready For Cannes Film Festival!

Leave a reply

Yay… it’s that time of year again… The Cannes Film Festival!

The Cannes Film Festival runs from the 15th-26th May and it raises awareness of new and upcoming films all over the world, including short films.

The Cannes Film festival is a very glitz and glam event where celebs get to dazzle on the red carpet.

Nicole Kidman has definitely got us ready for the Cannes Film Festival as she arrived in a stunning navy sparkling dress! She looks amazing!! She has even accessorised her look with navy heels and bag. Her hair was poker straight with a splash of red lipstick! Fab look!

We can’t wait to see what other outfits Nicole Kidman is going to wear!!

To create Nicole Kidman’s poker straight hair, we are going to use our Denman D79 Straightening Brush (Click here for USA Site). The great thing about this brush is that it will not damage the hair like flat irons do as it is not electrical. To use this brush, clamp it on a section of damp hair and point the hairdryer at the vented section of the brush. Using a low heat and speed setting on the hairdryer, gently began to glide the brush and hairdryer down the section of hair and repeat this technique all over the hair until it is completely dry.

Lea Michele’s Summer Glow!

Leave a reply

OK, so the weather has turned a bit cold and cloudy again… just when we were getting ourselves all ready for the summer!

Lea Michele made us very jealous with her gorgeous golden tan and beach waves at the Fox event in New York!

Today we’re going to tell you how you can also fake your summer glow and make it look like you’ve been on a beach all week!

Fake Tan!!

1. You need to prepare your skin for the tan by exfoliating with a Riffi Medium Effect Glove. This opens up the pores and improves blood circulation. It also helps to get rid of any dead skin, so when you apply the tan, there won’t be any dark patches and instead youre skin will be silky smooth.

2. Before you apply the tan, use moisturiser on your elbows, knees and ankles (where the skin creases). These are the parts which will go darker because of the dry skin.

3. Make sure you use an application mitt when applying the tan because we don’t want you to spoil your lovely tan with bright orange hands!

4. Apply the tan by rubbing in circular motions, as this will stop it from streaking.

5. Once applied, leave for the amount of time it says on the bottle.

6. After showering, moisturise all of your body to make the tan lasts longer.

Beach Waves

Wash your hair and then blowdry it using the Denman D75 Large Hot Curl Brush (Click here for USA Site). The brush will also allow you to add curl to your hair. Once your hair is dry, spray your hair with texturising sea salt spray and begin to scrunch your hair. This will give you that ‘i’ve just walked off the beach’ look! :)

Summer look completed!

Create her Hollywood Waves hairstyle:

1. Wash your hair and then blowdry it or let it dry naturally until it is damp. When your hair is damp, wind in your Denman Medium Self-Grip Hair Rollers. (Click Here for USA Site)

2. Once your hair rollers are in, heat the rollers using your hairdryer for a couple of minutes. When the rollers are completely cooled and hair is dry, unwind your hair from the rollers, to create your big curls.

3.  Spray your hair at the front with hairspray and begin to backcomb at the top using the Denman D91 Dressing Out Brush (Click here For USA Store).

P.S – Don’t forget the red lipstick!

So we’ve seen the trailers and it will soon be hitting our cinemas… Star Trek – Into Darkness!

Last night in London was the premiere of the new movie which stars Zoe Saldana and Alice Eve!

Zoe Saldana wowed the fans in a very unusual but amazing dress! The dress was black at the top and white at the bottom! The bottom of the dress was cut at the front and back but longer at the sides… very futuristic! It had some beaded detail on the top of the dress and the back of it was cut out! Zoe looked amazing and definitely pulled of this dress!

Not only do we love Zoe’s dress but we also love her hair and red lipstick combo! A great look! :)

Alice Eve was slightly upstaged by Zoe but we think she looked beautiful! She wore a beige strapless dress which had a black band around the middle and she wore matching coloured shoes!

Her hair was scraped back into a top knot and she wore natural make-up! To create Alice’s top knot hairstyle, just follow these steps:

  1. Brush your hair back using the Denman D82M Boar Bristle Brush. This will give you the ultimate super glossy and smooth finish for your look.
  2. Sweep your hair up into a high ponytail and secure using a Denman Black No Damage Elastic.
  3. Take the Denman Bun Ring, and feed ponytail through the middle until you reach the base of the ponytail.
  4. Section the ponytail and fold over the Bun Ring until it’s completely covered. Secure with another Denman Black No Damage Elastic.
  5. The rest of your hair will be sticking out, so begin to wrap those loose bits of hair around the bun and secure with Denman No Slip Bobby Pins as you go.
  6. Finish with hairspray.

Katy Perry

Source: dailymail.com

So to continue our happiness that the sun is shining right now and we are getting in the mood for summer, today we are bringing you one of our favourite style icons… Katy Perry!

Katy Perry can do no wrong when it comes to fashion … she is always right on trend or starting a new one of her own! Last night was the Pre-Premiere cocktail party of The Great Gatsby! Katy arrived in a gorgeous maroon Prada floral dress – STUNNING!!

She even tied in the monochrome trend to her look with black and white heels, bag and belt! Yes this is exactly why we love her!

She had her hair loosely curled and brought around to one side. Her make-up was quite natural with just a little bit of eyeliner along the upper eyelid and mascara with some red lipstick.

To create Katy’s loose curls, please follow these steps:

1. Make sure your hair is completely dry, if you have medium length hair you may want to add in some hair extensions! Make sure you hair extensions are detangled by using the Denman D80L Nylon Bristle Brush (Click here for USA Site). 

2. Curl your hair using curling tongs or straighteners. Our Ice Diamond Large Stylers are perfect to curl hair.

3. Once your hair is completely curled bring the hair around to one side and pin in place with bobby pins. Finish with hairspray for extra hold.
