Nailing It!

2009-10-26T10:00:00.000-04:00

M2M Natural Nail Care fall '09 collection features bold colors, and it's one of my favorite things in nail beauty this season.

Brought to you by founder/celebrity manicurist Myrdith Leon - McCormick, it is a line within damoreJon, a new, natural nail care system. Each shade is named after a celebrity that Myrdith has painted, and a portion of the proceeds is donated to aiding the people of her beloved homeland, Haiti. I Love it!

Inspired, and charitable. Now, that's good character.

What I really like about it, is that its Natural and colorful all at the same time - similiar to the DEX New York mineral makeup philosophy that natural doesn't have to be neutral.

Formaldehyde, Toluene and DBP free.
$15 bottle

Available at DEX New York Studios - 224 W. 30th Street NYC 212.643.3188

About Myrdith Leon-McCormick:
Myrdith has worked with high profile stars such as Vivica A. Fox, Kate Hudson, Umma Thurman, Jill Scott, Jennifer Lopez, and Sarah Jessica Parker. She was also the manicurist on ad campaigns for renown brands like L'Oreal Paris, MAC, Maybeline, De Beers Diamonds, and Estee Lauder, and worked with a host of famous designers like Vera Wang, Carolina Herrara, Anne Barge, and Zac Posen. In 2008, the beauty guru decided it was time to create something of her own, which led to the launch of M2M Natural Nail Care by damoreJon.

Get wiggy with it!

2009-10-23T10:00:00.001-04:00

Once upon a time, wigs were comical. You couldn't get away with them unless you were a grande dame like Joan Collins or Diana Ross. But today, weaves and hairpieces are the coolest hair trend.

At DEX New York Studios you can find a plethora of lace-front wigs, weaves, extensions and different colored hairpieces, to augment your tresses with the looks of Beyonce, Tyra Banks, Nicole Kidman, or Sarah Jessica Parker to name a few.

It's the norm today, and smart ladies are coming to DEX and having hairpieces woven or clipped in, to give them long, sleek tresses or extra va-va voom volume.

According to Naomi Porto - my senior stylist at DEX, "In our beauty atrium we're usually asked to create fuller-looking hair rather than to add length - people are moving away from the 'Wag' look of long, overly-glossy hair. We often have people ask us to fit a lace-front before their Saturday night out."

Of course, you can go the Lady Gaga route and wear a dramatic fake. But these days the cleverest weaves are impossible to spot.

"There are a million things you can do," says Scott Wasserman, Hair Expert at DEX New York Studios.

"If you look at Beyoncé or Tyra Banks, you can get amazing lace-front wigs. They look like a gauze and you stick them on, so you can't tell it's a wig, even when it blows back."

The best thing about the lace-front wigs and weaves is you don't have to spend two years growing your hair out after a shocking cut. And, now you have many options to play with.

Ladies, it's time to have fun again!

Stay Beautiful,

Luxury Home Spa

2009-10-22T10:00:00.002-04:00

The NuSkin Galvanic Spa System II is one of my favorite beauty tools, ever. It's like having your own day spa at home.

For more than 50 years, spa and salon professionals have used gentle galvanic currents in customized treatments to refresh and energize the skin. These treatments, through a gentle massaging action, help to focus cellular energy and enhance circulation. Now, why not do it yourself for half the price, and get long-lasting results.

How does a Galvanic Treatment work?

During the Pre-treat cycle, the Galvanic instrument and the Pre-Treat Gel are negatively charged
These negative charges repel each other, driving the Pre-Treat Gel into the skin.
The Pre-Treat Gel binds to impurities deep in the skin.

During the Treatment cycle, the Galvanic instrument and the Treatment Gel are positively charged
These positive charges repel each other helping to deliver the beneficial ingredients to the skin, including the exclusive ageLOC ingredient blend.
The positively charged instrument attracts the remaining negatively-charged impurities from the Pre-treat cycle, drawing them out of the skin.

Key Benefits:
The Nu Skin® Galvanic Spa® System II is Affordable. Compared to thousands of dollars you would spend monthly for traditional galvanic treatments at Spa Centers, the Galvanic Spa System is a cost-effective investment. This portable instrument allows you to enjoy a spa treatment at home. It rejuvenates skin, revitalizes your scalp, and renovates your body.

Available for retail at DEX New York - Coming Soon.
Perfect Holiday gift to yourself or loved one.

Sexy Socialite: How to get the look

2009-10-21T10:00:00.001-04:00

This Sexy Socialite look took inspiration from Loris Diran’s Fall ’09 runway collection – reminiscent of the boy meets girl in Gotham era. It’s sophisticated, but not uptight. To set an era specific makeup mood, the color palette is made up of dark smoldering colors and pearlescent tones - very sexy with a hint of drama.

The Look:
False lashes are placed on the top of the lash line. Wall Street Onyx Pressed Eye Shadow is used in the crease to create depth in the eye. Empire State Platinum Pressed Eye Shadow is used on the lid to create a smoky effect. Wall Street Onyx is used again on the bottom lash line as eyeliner to create a dramatic effect. This is the sexy part of the look. Rockefeller Gold Pressed Eye Shadow is on the brow bone for highlighting the eye. Skin is made flawless with a signature blend of Mineral Loose Foundation, Mineral Tinted Hydrator, and Mineral Glow to give the skin a youthful glow. Atop the glowing blend, apply a gentle sweep of Mineral Finishing Powder for a soft look. Cheeks are contoured with Dune Beach Dark Pressed Bronzer. Lips are pouted with Amsterdam Ave Ginger and Central Park West Guava Lip Gloss.

Created by: John Henry, DEX New York Cosmetics National Makeup Artist.

How To:

Face
* Apply DEX Mineral Illuminator to cover any imperfections.
* Create Mineral blend using 2-dime size scoops DEX Mineral Loose Foundation, 2-dime size scoops of DEX Mineral Glow, and 3 pumps of DEX Mineral Tinted Hydrator to create flawless, glowing skin.
* Mix Blend in a small soap dish using DEX Camouflage Foundation Brush.
* Use DEX Camouflage Foundation Brush to apply blend all over face.
* Using DEX retractable Kabuki Brush, gently sweep DEX Mineral Finishing Powder atop of blend all over face.
* Again using DEX retractable Kabuki Brush, dust DEX Mineral Pressed Bronzer from apples of cheeks to ears for contour.

Eyes
* Use DEX Eye Contour Brush to apply Empire State Platinum Mineral Pressed Eye Shadow to lids, blending up to eye crease.
* Use DEX Eye Crease Brush to apply Wall Street Onyx Mineral Pressed Eye Shadow in the crease of the eye, from the inner corner to the outer corner of the eye.
* Line lower lash line with Wall Street Onyx, using DEX Angled Eye Liner Brush wet.
* Use DEX Eye Contour Brush to apply Rockefeller Gold Mineral Pressed Eye Shadow on the brow bone, blending to lift the eye.
* Apply a set of medium faux eyelashes to top lash line. Then apply your favorite brand of voluminous mascara to top and lower lash line for sexy drama.

Lips
* Apply a generous amount of DEX Lip Gloss Amsterdam Ave Ginger and Central Park West Guava to lips.

The Inside Scoop on Fall Runway Hair:

2009-09-29T11:19:00.013-04:00

This season buns are twisted or wrapped at DEX New York with a casual touch - mostly on top of the crown area, lifting and bringing up the mood in a very bohemian feel - perfect for donning flawless bone structure.

For long hair, go with either super-straight or with some chunky waves. These are the two hottest options to stir up some action with this season, especially if you are feeling flirtatious!

Keeping up with the loosey goosey feel and uncomplicated hairstyles from last summer: For a short cut, medium to shoulder length is cool, but your best bet will be to go with the bob - a la Anna Wintour. It's back again, but with texture and lots of layers.

It was the energy, the drive, and passion for all things artistic and fabulous that made it one of the best learning institutions to attend for the arts. The lyric "I want to make it to heaven" was quite the feeling I got on a daily basis. And yes, I can certainly say today I have arrived.

Get it Straight, not Twisted!

2009-06-24T10:00:00.002-04:00

Girls with wavy, curly, course, or even damaged hair: Finally there is a solution for you! It's all the rage amongst celebrities, and DEX New York’s Beauty Atrium has got first dibs on introducing it to you. It's called the Moroccan Straightening Treatment – the new standard for straight hair.

This treatment will turn your hair from drab to fab in less than 2 hours depending on the length of your hair. The best part is that it lasts up to 3 months! So no more weekly visits to your stylist for a $100 checkup. The Moroccan straitening treatment is it girls.

What is the Moroccan Straightening Treatment?
It is a revolutionary treatment - developed in Morocco (hello!) - that softens, smoothen, and most important gives you straight hair.

It does not contain any strong chemicals, to open and close the hair cuticle in an effort to straighten it, breaking the bonds of the hair shaft. Although, Keratin is the key ingredient – a natural substance, which comprises approximately 88% of your hair – Moroccan white clay and cocoa, which are associated with special bio-actives, also penetrates the hair repairing internal damage and coats the hair preventing further damage.

Key Ingredient: Keratin is a type of protein high in sulphur and the amino acid cystine, making it tough, elastic and insoluble. These qualities are fundamental to the strong structural role keratin often plays in nature. It is a major component of horns, hooves and wool. In fact, keratin is the main protective substance in our hair, skin and nails.

Facts:
Reduces volume by 80-90% on average
Extremely Natural Looking
Intended for Professional Use Only
Product is imported Legally into USA, and complies with all FDA Regulations

Cost: $300 & up - depending on length of hair

BURROWS BLOCKBUSTER

2009-02-24T11:49:00.024-05:00

Bankable Burrows Closes Fashion Week
DEX New York Studios were transformed on Friday 2/20 -the close of fashion week - as 150 fashionistas, 15 photographers morethan a dozen models and a bevy hair, makeup and styling professionals gathered to produce and experience Stephen Burrows’ ready to wear fashion collection for Fall, 2009. Inspired by the salon showings of days gone by, the Burrows team arranged a double runway inside DEX’s photo studio. The studio, with it’s white columns and 15 foot high ceilings offers an elegant setting for a fashion show – formal, yet elegant.

(right: Model Katie Rost led with a revealing Burrows belted jacket, and Rodney Keenan top hat)

(left: DEX New York Studios is transformed)

Burrows’ ready to wear fashions seemed timeless, drawing from styles of the 40’s and 50’s, the Mod 60’s, some 70’s glam and contemporary styles, all mixed together. Several were perfect for the 9 to 5 professional woman who wants to leave work directly to go out on the town, without sacrificing an ounce of glamour. Combinations of grey wool suits with sheer prints, burgundy leggings and sweaters with heart shaped appliqués were abound. Emerging model Anna Van Ravenstein (daughter of 70’s supermodel Pat Cleveland) brought drama to the runway, appeared in a camel colored trench coat, which, thrown aside, revealed a hot, sexy, sequined frock, ala Studio 54. Later, donning a super full black and white wool skirt, she produced a classic turn, skirts twirling in the air, and eliciting an audible gasp from an astounded audience.

And how about the hair!
DEX New York’s Naomi Porto styled swirling red, brown and blonde up-dos that perfectly enhanced the Stephen Burrows looks. And of course, there was the makeup. Using DEX New York’s Modern Minerals, John Henry created eyes smoky and colorful (not to mention photogenic!) proving once again that natural, mineral makeup can be as fashion forward as it is good for the skin.

Rounds of applause and shouts of glee greeted the models’ final round along with Stephen Burrows himself, as the show (and Fashion Week) drew to a close. New Yorkers were treated to an exciting hour of a beautiful, tasteful fashion display.

Change is Here, and it's Beautiful!

2009-01-20T10:00:00.004-05:00

We at DEX New York are delighted to welcome President Elect Barack Hussein Obama into office as the first African-American President to lead the United States of America. It's a new day, and we are ready to celebrate history.

For starters, Mr. President is rumored to be wearing a Hart Schaffner Marx Tuxedo - Classic American suiting - to the inaugural ball. I love it!!!!!!

The editors at WWD got the scoop-down on what fashion statements they thought the First Lady Michelle Obama along with princess Sasha and Malia would be donning to the inaugural ball tonight. Designers such as Oscar de La Renta, Isaac Mizrahi, Monique Lhuillier and Bagdley Mischka all were amongst the many designers that submitted sketches to our new first lady.

Here's what some revealed. Take a look........

No matter the choice, America's New First Lady and her darlings are going to shut it down tonight.

Stay tuned. We'll have follow up coverage for you later this week.

Designing Woman - Spring '09

2009-01-19T10:00:00.001-05:00

Carolina Herrera:
Let other designers batten down the hatches against the flagging economy. Carolina Herrera's customers have recession-proof portfolios, and if they don't, they're not going to let it show by dressing in any old thing. The show's color palette was of the "If you've got it, flaunt it" variety: bright persimmon paired with hibiscus, teal faille trimmed in tweed, a marigold photo print. Black and white also played starring roles. Compared to her recent collections, embellishments had been scaled back; Spring is all about the ruffle. As for the silhouettes, though, they were designed for cocktail hour and beyond (with a few exceptions for lunch at La Grenouille).

Simply gorgeous, darling!!!!!

DEX Lifestyle Resolutions

2008-12-31T17:00:00.000-05:00

We asked a few loyal clients and staff from DEX New York what they hope to do a bit better - from fashion to beauty, lifestyle, and relationships - in 2009.
Diane S., beauty client
"Quit smoking and drink plenty of water daily so my makeup application is more effective. After all, I need to work on the inside out too."

Laura L, sales manager
"Wear sheer stockings again because they make me walk tall." "Brush my hair upside down before yoga because it stimulates more chakras." "Ride my bicycle along the river every weekend with my dog." And, "stop kissing my doormen because they get in trouble."

Raven R., atrium assistant
I am planning on making 2009 my year to blossom as a Stylist/MUA at DEX. My goal is to be ready to take on Fashion Week fall '09. Look out New York! Get ready to be Ravished by Raven.

Catalina C., Makeup Artist

Here are some easy tips on how to conceal your New Year's Eve night of too many cocktails: Perfect advice on how to start the year with a fresh look.

> To relieve facial swelling, place a few ice cubes in a washcloth and hold it under your eyes for 5-10 minutes. Or if you are one of those home spa types, try using one of those cooling eye gel ice packs

> Give yourself a lovely hot bath with AHAVA Dead Sea Salt

> Hydrate your skin with a daily body moisturizer

> When your eyes are puffy camouflage them with a concealer, then brighten them up with DEX New York's Mineral Illuminator - it makes your skin look well rested.

> If your skin is looking a little dull, add a little shimmer to a tinted moisturizer or foundation. Try DEX New York's Mineral Tinted Hydrator ($38). Glides on effortlessly to create a water-resistant veil of natural looking coverage. One of our best sellers.

New Year's Eve Hair

2008-12-29T11:00:00.002-05:00

If time is not on your side in getting ready for your New Year's Eve fete, don't fret. DEX New York studio's hair designers reveals one of the simplest tricks to dress up your hair in the knick of time.

Rollers (hot or not) is a great way to start. On dry hair let them set for 30 minutes while your doing other girly things in getting ready. After you take the rollers out, put some hair serum on your hands and squeeze it throughout your hair. Then brush it for a more natural look or just separate hair with fingers and pin up each curl to give a more glam look. Lastly, spritz hair with a finishing spray to keep the style set in place for a long night out.

I am so grateful, and only looking up for more and better. So here is a look at what it was like at DEX New York in 2008. Cheers, and Happy New Year.

New! Modern Minerals.

DEX New York Modern Minerals™.
The New, Revolutionized Mineral Makeup:

DEX New York Cosmetics is a line of mineral-based makeup made from natural minerals, including zinc oxide; ultramarine (derived from lapis lazuli) and titanium dioxide. They are mined from the earth and triple milled into fine powder. Normally, only foundations are made from pure minerals, but with DEX New York Modern Minerals™ - mineral-based makeup you will also find pure minerals in blushes, eye shadows, bronzers, tinted moisturizers, concealers, and liquid foundations.

DEX New York Modern Minerals™ is considered by both consumers and professional makeup artists to be the best mineral makeup available with no use of fragrances, dyes, mineral oil, and parabens, which are all common causes of allergies. This makes DEX the ideal mineral-based makeup for both plastic surgery patients and women with sensitive skin. DEX hosts heavy camouflaging properties, and because it contains natural pigments rather than dyes, the colors tend to be deeper, richer and longer lasting. Women with acne scars, rosacea, and broken capillaries tend to favor it, as do pro makeup artists, because it can be used without fear of allergic reactions.

Backstage Beauty '09: Pat McGrath

2008-10-07T22:00:00.002-04:00

We don’t want to state the obvious, but we feel compelled to point out the Robert Palmer video-loving that was going on at Louis Vuitton. Sure, you could also link legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath’s backstage beauty look to the collection’s “sexy, saucy, Parisian forties” nuances, with the cheek contouring, smoky eye, and glossy red lip, that Vuitton glamazons wore so well down the runway for Spring 2009.
