The Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet Fall 2011 collection evokes timeless elegance and unabashed glamour, inspired by a modern day interpretation of the classic 1950s movie Auntie Mame. Stacey Bendet creates a wardrobe for a chic, free-spirited female; an empowered individual who is full of life, ready for a party, eccentric and captivating.

Polly Osmond for MAC Cosmetics created a 70s modern punk glam look, complete with the classic cat eye, red lips and “barely there” foundation.

All makeup products are by MAC:

  • Eyes: Blacktrack Fluidline, Gloss texture on brow bone
  • Brows: Lingering powder
  • Face: Mineralize Skin Finish
  • Cheeks: Light gloss highlighting cheekbone
  • Lips: Runway Red

Lead stylist Thomas Dunkin for Sebastian Professional created a romantic chignon to compliment the glamorous collection, which was teased into a large bun with twists in the front. He twisted very small, subtle sections on the sides and pulled the hair back into a large bun, securing it with hair bands and bobby pins that matched each model’s haircolor.

  • Volupt Spray – Volume-Building Spray-Gel
  • Shine Define – Ultimate Versatile Hairspray for Shine and Flexible Hold
  • Shaper Zero Gravity – Dry, Brushable Lightweight Control Hairspray;
  • Trilliant – Thermal Protection and Shimmer Complex

Sally Hansen created two unique nail polish shades that forecast the Fall nail colors for the season. Dana Caruso, Global Beauty Expert for Sally Hansen, used the Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips in “Autumn Violet” and “Liquid Metal” to complete the signature look.

This unique technology makes it easy to apply polish without the hassle of dry time or base/top coat. The nail strips will be available in the Fall.

Described as “wearable treatment”, I have been using this recently, you can use it for blow dryed straightened looks and curly looks as well.  For curls, I find that it gives a very airy light look which is almost unattainable for me with other products.  This is super lightweight, and my hair is superfine so it doesn’t weigh my hair down.

Stay Pretty!!
