4 Beauty Trends for 2015

by Remington Ready January 23, 2015

 

Sombré is the new ombré! It’s a softer, more subtle color fade and an easier way to mix up hair color without going too extreme! Instead of going from dark brunette to light blonde, the color fades from dark brunette to light brunette or blends in color by going from dark brunette to dark red. The sombré also blends better, using highlights to work the color in more naturally. This is usually done with the “balayage” technique where color is painted on by hand instead of using traditional foil. So if you’re ready for a sombré color update, look for stylists in your area that specialize in balayage! 

 

 

 

Bold lip color is everywhere! But it’s out with the red and in with the new. The deep berry color is what we’re seeing most. Adding a rich elegance in darker shades, it varies with hints of either purple or pink. The key to wearing dark lipstick is the lip liner; make sure to have a defined edge if you’re trying this trend out! For more natural looks, try a rose color lipstick. This brings in the berry shades while keeping a more subtle and neutral tone.

 

For a berry color, we recommend "Raspberry" No7 Stay Perfect Lipstick or "Blissful Berry" Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Color.

 

For a rose color try "Plum" Botanics Lip Stain.

 

 

 

These waves are bringing the 40s back— more retro-fabulous than ever. For shoulder length cuts, it’s all about the deep side part, sweep over, and dramatic waves. We’ve seen many variations of this look on the runway and red carpet, but it’s just as fitting for everyday hair styling. Don’t worry about the fuss of using salon clips to set hair in a zig-zag wave pattern, just use a wide waving wand like the TStudio Pink Silk Waving Wand. Brush out the waves for a softer look and create a side part, slicking back the shorter side. Keep volume across the sweeping bangs and you’ll be looking fresh and classic with these retro waves.

 

 

 

Eyes are really popping with bright, fun colors! From blue and turquoise to red and orange, eye make-up is getting more intense. It’s used as an eye liner or even complete eye shadow, but we suggest the more subtle eye liner highlight. Put on normal black eyeliner on the top and bottom lids, then just accent on the outside of the black liner with a pop of color (we suggest blue to start off with). Focus more on the bottom lid and outside corner, or go all out and blend it into brightly colored eye shadow!

 

We recommend Revlon Colorstay Eye Liner or NYX Slide on Pencil for easy-to-apply color options. 


Richard Marin: My Favorite Styling Tool and How to Use It

by Richard Marin December 25, 2014

 

I am loving my Remington T|Studio Silk straight irons and clipless curling irons. I can do a variation of looks with the straight iron, from stick straight to easy waves, by rocking the iron back and forth. I can make a random bend in the hair to a spiral curl by wrapping it around the straight plates. When I'm doing curls, I really enjoy working with the T|Studio Silk clipless wand series because it makes the curls come out looser than a traditional curling iron. I usually leave the ends out of the hair from the iron to make the waves and curls look more relaxed. With clipless you make that look happen easily.

 

I'm addicted to the Remington T|Studio Oval Waving Wand! I can create several looks with this one tool from smooth and straight to just a little bend on the ends of the hair or irregular waves throughout the hair. The variety of styles you can create with this one tool is endless!                              

 

Here is my favorite technique for curling hair:

 

    1.  Section off the head into three sections 1) top of head 2) left side 3) right side.              Sectioning makes curling your hair faster and easier.


 

    2. I start at the bottom neck area usually with a smaller barrel iron to begin (I prefer           the Remington T|Studio Silk slim conical iron). I do a tighter curl at the neckline             which gives support to hold up the other waves that will be sitting on top of this             section of hair. 
 

 

    3.  Wrap hair around iron and repeat. When you get to the mid section of your hair              begin to wrap your hair around the center section if the conical iron.
 

 

    4.  Finish ironing the top section and your bang area with a variation of the largest              section of the barrel and then the next section with the middle section of the                barrel. This will give the overall look of a variation of texture in your curls which            always look more natural and not a uniformed curl.

Wavy Looks Made Easy

by Remington Ready December 18, 2014

 

Traditional curling irons create small, tight curls that can leave you with the Shirley Temple look. That might work for your grandma, but you need a more modern style—something like free-flowing, vibrant waves!

 

That’s where the Remington Oval Waving Wand comes in.  The unique shape of the wand forms natural-looking waves that add a perfectly subtle touch to your fresh look.

 

You’ll get salon-quality results from the 410-degree digital heat that reaches temperature in just 30 seconds. And as part of the T|Studio line of styling products, the wand is equipped with a ceramic coating that’s infused with silk proteins to keep frizz to a minimum and reduce damage to keep your hair looking and feeling its best. 

 

So throw away the old curler and embrace the wavy look! The simple wrap-and-go convenience of the Remington Waving Wand makes it easy to craft long-lasting beach waves for the modern style you want!

The Best Kept Secret In Hair Removal

by Remington Ready September 8, 2014

 

Women around the world have ditched shaving for the quick and easy way to long-lasting smooth skin.

 

So what is the best kept secret in hair removal?

 

It’s an electric tweezing system known as epilation, and you’ll be glad you found it.


With an epilator, you don’t have to worry about constant touch-ups or irritated skin. The simple handheld device uses 40 rotating tweezers to pull hair out from the root, leaving behind soft, touchable skin for up to six weeks!


And it only gets easier the more you use it. Once hair eventually grows back, it comes in softer and finer than before so future treatments are quicker and more enjoyable.


The best part is, you can use the Remington rechargeable epilator in or out of the shower. Warm water can help soften hair and open up the skin’s pores for easier removal. Plus, the pivoting head adjusts to all the contours of your body for less hassle and quicker results.  

 
It’s time to find out why epilation is the #1 method for hair removal in Europe.

Nautical Summer Accessories for Kids

by Remington Ready May 8, 2014

 

 

 

My little ladies have some major heads of hair (special thanks to my mother).  And while my oldest is quite the tomboy, she still just loves her long hair and absolutely refuses part ways with it--making detangling and styling "such" a joy!  My little one, is a girly girl through and through and loves her spunky little bob.  Regardless of their styles, they both love having their hair dolled up a bit and off of their faces and quite frankly, so does mom.  Here's the kicker though, I'm always hard pressed to find head bands that don't bother the backs of their ears and stay in place or barrettes that actually hold their hair back all while still being cute.  Enter Remington.  When I tell you it's somewhat miraculous when all three of us agree on both a style and comfort level, I'm certainly not lying!  Big stuff felt comfy as can be and absolutely loved the feel and design of her headband..didn't hurt that it was her favorite color as well.  And little miss, well as I'm sure you can tell by the pictures, she felt footloose and fancy free in her polka dot barrettes.  No fidgeting, hair in the face, or messy manes equals a very very happy mom and smiles all the way around!
