The latest designer collaboration in Lancome's popular Pout-a-Porter series is with Chris Benz, who happens to be one of the sweetest men in fashion. The new pink lipstick was named Chris and Tell by a user of the Lancome Facebook Fan Page, and Benz seemed just tickled by the monicker and the color backstage before his Spring 2010 show.
"[The shade was inspired by] the idea of Cheryl Tiegs at a party" Benz said. "The color feels very beachy for the spring."
Chris and Tell may not be available until February, but other products used by Lancome makeup artist Daniel Martin on the models include POP 'N CHEEKS in Coral Flirt and LE CRAYON KOHL in Black Coffee.

Sexy curls, the messier the better, were the object of my affection while I spoke with Redken hair stylist John Ruidant. The look was effortless and easy, even if you do have to put in some effort to recreate it.
The Redken team used Fabricate and Hot Sets 22 Thermal Setting Mist before curling hair, and then applied a mix of Outshine and Glass brushed through with the fingers.
"Looking at the clothes there was a nice mixture of color and texture, so I thought we would do the same with the hair," Ruidant said. "A nice mix of textures, not using any brushes, just your fingers - spray some fabricate on and wrap around the curling iron." No curl is perfect, and the hair was curled layer by layer.
