Cameron Goodman Chats with the Beauty Parlour

The Beauty Parlour had an amazing chance to chat with actress Cameron Goodman. She is recognizable for her roles in numerous films and TV shows, including the hit series 90210,  and countless other productions. Cameron and I met  on the set of Shuttle back in 2007. I was lucky to have the chance a few days ago to discuss some of her makeup, hair, beauty routines, and interests with us and we were so excited to have the opportunity!

JKBP: What is your favorite color?
CG: I love Marigold and Orange colors

JKBP: Whose style do you love?
CG: I love Zooey Deschanel her style is impeccable

JKBP: What’s in your bag?
CG:  My iPhone. I always have a little notebook in my purse, I have it to reflect and keep track of ideas.

JKBP: What is your favorite store to shop at?
CG: I really love Madewell

JKBP: Ever try a trend that you wish you hadn’t?

I also enhance, and darken my brows a bit, and then I use a blush on my cheeks, I really like NARS ‘orgasm’.

JKBP: What is your hair routine?
CG:  I have Brazillian Blowouts done.  You’re going to think this is really funny, I’ll buy boxes of the Nice & Easy DIY color kits, just for the conditioner! I love the conditioner the kits come with.  To style my hair I just use a leave in conditioner and let it be.

For the love of…Caviar

So since we’re on the roll of showing you guys some bright and outrageous trends of the spring and summer, we figured we’d share one of the most recent; the caviar manicure. Now we know what you may be thinking, fish eggs?! nails?!

Featured: Ciate Caviar Mani Kit

The caviar mani is named because it is a process of polishing your nails and adding micro-beads to your wet nail, thus giving the appearance of a caviar, textured layer across your nails.

Currently, the caviar nail kits run for around $25 and was brought to Sephora last month, however, they’ve run low on stock and it’s become quite hard to find.

Because we love our blog followers, we’ve decided to share a little secret with you guys on how to DIY caviar mani for a fraction of the price!

All you’ll need:

* Martha Stewart Microbeads (can be found at your local Michael’s Craft) — there is also a brand called “Reflections” which has these microbeads as well!

* Your favorite colored polish — either a complimenting color, matching color, or something completely random depending on the look you’re going for

* Clear Top coat

* A tray/bowl- to catch the excess beads

The process is simple:

Please note, for this caviar method, you will do each nail through the process one at a time. 

1st: Place one coat of colored polish on all ten of your fingers. This will serve as a base coat for your second coat of color

2nd: One finger at a time, polish a second coat of polish. 

3rd: On that same polished finger, hold it over the tray or bowl and gently sprinkle and coat the nail with microbeads.

4th: After coating nail with beads, gently push down on the beads to form a uniform and flattened surface and to ensure a better stick of the beads to the nail.

5th: Take a top coat and simply add it to just the tip/edge of the top of your nail to prevent chipping. 

6th: Repeat for the rest of your fingers!

Voila! You have an expensive looking but cheap caviar mani! :)

Be sure to pour the excess beads from the bowl back into your container to use again. You can also use the caviar mani to accent your current manicure by doing it to your ring finger on each hand.

We love this trend :)

Dip Dyed Fashion?!

To follow up with the recent ombre and dip dyed hair trend, we are seeing more of this trend in fashion as well.

Think dip-dyed clothing, and manicures. Slightly reminiscent of acid-wash jeans of the 80s…with a modern, punk-glam, or even chic look.

Some more drastic than others…

Would you incorporate a dip dyed piece into your closet or your manicure regimen??

Dip Dying & Colored Ombre

Okay so we may have discussed this before, however, it seems to be coming up a lot in magazines and websites; the craze for dip-dying hair and rainbow colored ombre hair.

Think my little pony meets modern, chic, fashionista!

Cotton candy, pastels, and vibrant and bold rainbow tones…possibilities are endless.

There are subtle or vibrant ways to embrace this trend, one that could easily be hidden by tucking hair into a bun at work, or a simple trim could remove unwanted color. At the beauty parlour, we have dip-dyed extensions as a lasting but not-permanant alternative. There are also semi-permanant or wash-out treatments being offered as well.

We are loving this colored trend, what do you guys think!?

I have a love affair with ballet flats — I love flat shoes! Don’t get me wrong heels are amazing. This girl, simply, cannot walk in them :)

SO… here are a few Spring shoe trends that are right up my alley!

Pointed Ballet Flats

T-Strap Ballet Flats

Balayage & Ombre

Though it’s not a new trend, we have received a lot of requests by our clients to talk about this recurring technique. Balayage and Ombre highlights are a great way to achieve an effortless and tousled look.  The Ombre technique typically features a darker, thicker root, with a lighter colored end. The Balayage technique is a chunkier, all over beachy look. Are you a low-maintenance hair kind of girl? This coloring could be the perfect fit for you.

It is bohemian-chic, that appears to have a natural and controlled grown-out look. Celebrities such as Jessica Biel, Hillary Duff, Whitney Port, Giselle Bunchden, Jennifer Aniston, and more. The color is painted on by hand, giving it a natural look with a pop of color at the ends surrounding the face. The beauty of balayage is that it is customized to each person, their hair, and face shape, so no one person has the same look as another.

Lucky for you girls, we happen to do balayage and ombre techniques here at Jennie Kay a Beauty Parlour!

Call the beauty parlour or visit our website www.jenniekaybeauty.com to book your next ombre/balayage appointment!

Sephora + Pantone Universe

Clearly we are on the same page as Sephora — duh! :) If you are an a avid roller of the JKBP Blog you know we just discussed the Pantone color of the year, Tangerine Tango, if not see here. We are so very excited to share this wonderful news with you. Always a lover of all things orange, I’m very excited for their launch of this line.

The line features Tangerine Tango EVERYTHING… and we mean everything!

As a limited edition line, Sephora has done a great job of creating such an expansive selection. Everything from makeup brush sets, to nail polishes, to blushes, to shadows to lip glosses, to makeup & travel cases, to faux lashes, to liners and tools. It’s actually pretty neat, and the products so far have some good reviews. Check it out here: Sephora + Pantone Universe

The Art of Mixing Prints

Have any of you been daring enough to try the trend of mixing prints? This seemingly mish-mashed-mix-matched sounding look can actually achieve quite a chic and fashionable look if done correctly.

Rules of thumb?
Although we’re mixing patterns, try and stick within the same family.
Following the color wheel also directs us to which colors can work quite well together. We’ve included a quite simple one, where the colors on either side of one another complement each others tones, as well as those across. Don’t use this as an actual ‘rule‘ per say, rather, play around with the colors, textures and tones.

Some patterns that go great together are:
polka dots & stripes
polka dots with leopard
color blocking & corresponding prints
florals with florals
large florals with leopard… the list is endless!

Here are some fun looks we love!

Left: Polka dots, stripes, matching pink tones, a neutral clutch with gold tones & matching gold accessories.
Top Right: Stripes & Aztec, blacks and whites bring it together, as well as colorful accessories?
Bottom: Ferragamo Spring ’12

Another fun way to spice up your outfit is by adding a bright lip color to highlight the tones in your outfit. A thick cat eye liner can also incorporate a fun mod-look to a polka dot ensemble, or any for that matter.

You can also try this trend in the home, subtlety or more pronounced. The key is the color scheme.

Mixing prints shouldn’t be intimidating, it’s fun, busy, exciting, loud, and yet at the same time it all falls together nicely…
Have you or would any of you try mixing prints? Please Share :)
