Check out our three Style Seen Daily beauty essentials to beat the heat and still keep your hair and skin looking hot:

To keep hair looking shiny and fresh: Kerastase Elixir Ultime is the magic formula to solve all of your hair problems this summer.  Unlike the heavy Moroccan oil or artificial silicone based products, Elixir is comprised of four natural nourishing oils that rebuild hair from the inside outside instead of just sitting on top of the cuticle resulting in an oil slick. This means your hair actually absorbs it and rebuilds! I’ve been using it weekly as a pre-shampoo treatment, which works as a mini-brazillian blow out cutting down frizz and blow-dry time. Wet or Dry, this miracle treatment can be used anytime even throughout the day on ends for ultimate smoothing. Try it on pesky dry patches of skin too!

Hair we love to be shiney! Our face? Not so much. If you are of the oily skin persuasion like me, you’ll be thankful to know there is a solution! Dermalogica’s clearing mattifier. The salicylic acid keeps my pores clean while cutting shine in an instant.

For a fresh pop of summer color without having to bake in the sun, try Origin’s VitaZing tinted moisturizer. My makeup artist friends are having a field day with this product! They’ve never been able to use just one product on so many skin types from pale to mahogany, each skin color gets a slight blush of color and anti-oxidant benefits from esteemed power fruit Magosteen.

Scott Riffe is a hair stylist and feather extension specialist who also makes feather earrings.  He loves feathers because “the way feathers move is sexy, like hair” and “no two feathers are alike, every feather is different.”  And to prove he didn’t just jump on the feather craze, that really want bonkers once American Idol judge and living legend rock star Steven Tyler added feather extentions to his hair, he also owns a parrot as his pet, has a few feather tattoos AND grew up with his Dad being an avid bird lover.

He is one of the few guys in the country who works with feathers on this scale.  Because of the current popularity with feathers, good feathers are hard to come by.  Riffe gets his feathers from Colorado, Wyoming and Florida.  Fred Segal and Wasteland are a few places who carry Scott’s feather earrings.

Angelina Jolie rocks the red lips.

The hottest accessory to your fall wardrobe?  Your bright red lips.  Maybe you’ve never dared to be so forward with your makeup, or maybe you aren’t sure that this timeless shade is really your color.  Whatever your qualms of the past–this season, give it a whirl—take a peek at our “how-to-pick-the-best-shade” tips and try it on.

Here’s our basic, red lips tips:

First, according to the “Lipstick Queen”, Poppy King, creator of the Lipstick Queen brand lipsticks,  the right red will make your hair, skin and eyes light up.  Try on lipstick with no other makeup on—if it is flattering with a naked face, it’s a winning shade.

Next—to really nail the raring-to-go red look and keep it modern—keep any other makeup you wear that day very minimal.  Keep your eyes simple and understated, and consider going without blush, or just with a hint of bronzer.

Last, remember to use a lip primer and, gasp, a lip liner to keep your lipstick from feathering or bleeding outside of your natural lip line.  Finish by lining lips lightly with concealer to keep your lipstick lines crisp and make the look really pop.

Now on to the fun part—the shopping:

Cool-Aid

If you’re fair complected or have cool skin undertones—choose reds with blue or cool undertones as well.  Think berries, cherry red, plum reds and deep wine reds.  Here’s a one of our favorite cool undertoned lipsticks from M.A.C at Los Cerritos Center ($14.50, MAC Red).

Warm-Blooded

A warm toned red from Hourglass found at Sephora in Stonewood Center ($30, Raven).

If you have olive skin, or warm undertones, you’ll want to pick shades of red with….you guessed it, warm undertones.  These will have orange or brown highlights to them—like fire-engine red, brick or even poppy red.  Here are is a warm toned red from Hourglass found at Sephora in Stonewood Center ($30, Raven).

Classic Color

A neutral red from Clarins in Nordstrom at The Oaks ($24, Rouge Prodige).

Still not sure about rocking the red this fall?  Color combinations sound precarious?

Reach for the red that never goes out of style—what’s called a true red.  This is a neutral red that is universally flattering and most every brand has a version of it.  Approach any makeup counter and ask for their true red, they can point one out for you.   Here’s an example from Clarins in Nordstrom  at The Oaks ($24, Rouge Prodige).

Bosworth, Bailey & Williams

Christopher Bailey is Chief Creative Director of Burberry, responsible for the brands image including all advertising, corporate art direction, store design of all 100+ retail locations and visuals, as well as design of all product lines and collections.  154 years ago, when Burberry was born, they become famous for making the trenchcoat more fashionable than ever before, and now, after dominating the fashion scene for longer than any of us reading this have been alive, there is a new launch, Burberry Beauty.

Burberry Beauty Products

Bailey, who is credited for transforming Burberry into a billion-dollar global powerhouse, and decided it was time to develop and launch the brands first make up collection.  In celebration of the launch, Baliey traveled to New York, San Francisco, and our home town Los Angeles – where we were fortunate to meet up with him at the former home of Tom Cruise in Bel Air – thanks to our amazing friend Lauryn Flynn, Director of VIP & Music Relations at Burberry.

Burberry Beauty Launch - Tea in Bel Air

Bailey hosted the Brit-inspired tea party in the private garden poolside, and the dining room became a cosmetics counter.  Among the 70 or so guests were May Anderson, Kate Bosworth, Serena Williams, Lake Bell and stylist Rachel Zoe, all of whom enjoyed the beautiful day, listening to music from the likes of Kings of Leon to Sting, munching on petite sandwich’s (crustless of course), sipping on Pim’s cocktails and cucumber water, while sampling Buberry Beauty like Burberry Skin, Glow, Lips and Eyes.

Burberry Beauty Campaign

“Burberry Beauty” includes foundations, blushers, lipsticks and eyeshadows, and its very British palette is inspired by the house’s iconic trench coat. In keeping with its quintessentially English vibe, the ad campaign features British models Lily Donaldson, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Nina Porter.

“We’ve chosen three British beauties we’ve worked with before and who are part of the family,” Bailey said. “Rosie has this effortless sexiness to her; Nina has an edge and attitude; and Lily is a classic British beauty. When you put them all together, you have a pure Burberry expression.”

Burberry Beauty Lips, Eyes and Face

The products (priced from $27 for an eyeliner to $55 for a wet-dry foundation) come in metal packaging etched with Burberry check. Foundation shades are based on the earthy shades of the iconic trench. The Light Glow blush, in colors like russet, blossom and cameo, are mostly translucent, and the Lip Glow has a great plumping effect. The Sheer Powder Eye Shadows, in stormy khakis, blues, lavenders and grays, are easy for anyone to use.

Bailey said, “I started to think about  makeup a few years ago, while working on a runway show. where it seemed clear that this concept was the only one that we were missing to fully express a world and state of mind”

The collection is fused with inspiration from the classic Buberry trench coat, locking in that timelessness with innovation and functionality.  The make up line is available exclusivley at Nordstrom and www.burberry.com across the US, Canada and Europe.  We were lucky to leave with an incredible gift bag full of products to take home and packaged in a great clutch by Burberry of course.

Expect to see much more from Burberry, Bailey is building on the brands history with innovation and is reaching out to the next generation, starting now with this beauty line, but also doing an entire social networking site, digital advertising and even a fashion show webcast that let consumers order on the spot.  Burberry’s comeback, that Bailey lead,  just keeps on coming and coming.   With a following like Bailey has and the incredible staff around him, Burberry is sure to continue to surprise us and entice us.
