Yesterday, I joined some of the biggest fashion and beauty influencers and their fabulous fans at BeautyCon NYC. Along with meet and greets with some of beauty’s biggest YouTubers, BeautyCon also had amazing panels on how to make it in beauty and fashion from some of the industry’s most successful bloggers and entrepreneurs. My favorite was “Diva: The Female Version of a Hustler” which included bloggers such as Wendy Nguyen from Wendy’s Lookbook and Amber Venz Box, co-founder and president of rewardStyle.com. Naturally, I learned a lot.
Judging from the pony I’m holding it looks like I’m at Bronie Con rather an BeautyCon.
In celebration of the season 3 finale of Scandal, a fabulous group of beauty bloggers and I checked into a suite at the Carlton Hotel to sample all the amazing beauty products used on the show over glasses of delicious Tiziano wine. This scandalous night of beauty was hosted by the fabulous beauty mavens of Glamazon Diaries and Pretty Connected AKA Makeda Saggau-Sackey and Lara Eurdolian.
Scandal makeup artist Denise Hooper gets a crazy amount of beauty products sent to her on a daily basis, but only uses the best of the best when bringing out Olivia Pope’s inner gladiator. Without further ado, here are all the glam products used behind the scenes of the hit series:
Hair:
When it comes to shiny hair and presidential curls, Scandal’s hair stylist, Linda Villalobos, uses a BaBabyliss Pro Nano Titanium Marcel Curling Iron ($49.99) and Sebastian Cellophane In-Glossing Treatment ($35) to transform the actors into their DC alter egos. The Nano titanium provides high heat without damaging hair. Sol-Gel technology makes the iron barrels 37% stronger and 22% smoother than those of standard irons. The Sebastian Cellophane In-Glossing Treatment is only available in salons and has protein-rich infusers that illuminate every strand. This heat-actived formula enhances color without damaging hair and is both peroxide and ammonia-free.
