Nicole Kidman at the SAG awards

Nicole Kidman was one of our favorite stars at the recent SAG Awards (Screen Actors Guild Awards) in Hollywood.

Nicole wore a bohemian look with rich colors that enhance her beautiful skin. Her hair was in a natural style and makeup that complemented the attire. She has had some issues with makeup recently, but this time it was flawless

The dress was an Oscar De La Renta and she wore Fred Leighton jewels. Stylist to the stars David Babaii created her hair style. According to David, "Nicole Kidman always inspires me, but for the 2010 SAG Awards, her lovely skin tone and its breathtaking beauty took the lead."

David used a wig that had various tones of ginger to create the style. In order to achieve the perfect color match, David sought out the talents of celebrity hair colorist Lorri Goddard-Clark. Lorri created Nicole's rich new color, while David created the perfect texture needed to enhance this natural but classic "Bohemian" look.

David created Nicole's style this way: he gently towel dried the hair and sprayed David Babaii Bohemian Beach Spray throughout. Next, gently rough dried the hair moving the hands in various directions to create texture. Once dry, he fashioned a center part and divided tresses into 4 sections (sides, back crown & nape). Starting at the nape area, he alternated between
1" and 1 ½" ceramic curling irons, taking "V" shaped partings. He then wrapped hair around the inside of the barrel, holding for 10 seconds then gently releasing the curl. With each alternating curl, David slid his fingers up the curl to gently create a soft back combing effect and enhanced texture. After finishing the entire head, David used his fingers and added
extra Bohemian Beach Spray to loosen the curls and highlight the richness of the hair color.

Dianoche Passion by Daisy Fuentes

Daisy Fuentes has a new fragrance: Dianoche Passion. The perfume comes in Daisy’s signature fragrance bottle: a single bottle that holds two different scents: one for day and one for night (Dianoche is a combination of Spanish words for day and night).

The perfume has warm and sensual notes that are deeper and sultrier for the night fragrance. In both the day and night fragrances, the key ingredients of patchouli and amber bring to life the essence of true passion (both of them are believed to be aphrodisiacs).

I love the idea of two perfumes in one bottle. Both fragrances are very nice and, as described in the press release, warm and sensual.

Dianoche Passion will be available just in time for Valentine’s Day, February 2010, at Kohl’s Department Stores nationwide and at Kohls.com for a retail price of $42.50.

Vol de Jour a Chanel video

Vol de Jour is a short film by Karl Lagerfeld. Yes, the Chanel Designer is now directing a film. The stars are: Lara Stone and Baptiste Giabiconi.

In the film Karl shows some of the Chanel Spring 2010 collection. The film lasts 3.30 minutes, it is in black and white and it has only music, no dialog. The plot is not very interesting, but it is a nice short film and you can see some of the Chanel boutiques in Paris.
