“I have always been surrounded by fashion. My parents are in the industry and I used to go to showrooms with them from a young age. My uncle started a big brand called Rampage in the 80s. I started it. I remember being in a warehouse and going from monkey bar to monkey bar with my clothes racks. I just naturally thought that’s what I wanted to do too. Luckily, I was a fashion fan. I was able to work in my family’s business dealing in wholesale products, but as I grew older I realized I wanted something different for myself. I knew I didn’t necessarily want to be a designer, but I still wanted to be a designer. I wanted to be involved in this field, so I founded a consulting company. Here For You. We handle everything from creative direction to marketing and brand strategy. When people ask, “What do you do?” I always joke and say, “Whatever you need me to do.” That’s why it’s called “Here Four You.” Alo Yoga was one of my first clients. I launched my first store 10 years ago with founders Danny Harris and Marco DeGeorge. Other clients include Bandier, Good American, FRAME, and Kylie Jenner’s fashion brand Khy.
Working with all these brands really helped me start my own hair company. anna blue, from bottle to market. I’ve seen first-hand the level of detail required to scale a company. In a way, I’ve been training for this all my life. I grew up making my own hair concoctions using oils that my father bought from Morocco. Meanwhile, my mom and I spent Saturdays in the kitchen making scrubs and lotions, and now all three of her products are finished. treatment oil, scalp cleanserand the hair serum— is a direct result of those experiments.
skin care
When you are pregnant, you need to check all the ingredients in your product as there are many ingredients that cannot be used. New skin diseases also occur. I had melasma during my first pregnancy and am dealing with it again now that I’m pregnant with a girl. I know all these lasers work, but last time my melasma went away on its own, so I’m hoping it will do the same this time.
My shelves are always stocked with the same skin care products.I love Image Omedic Balancing Facial Cleanser. Even though it’s soap, it doesn’t foam, so it leaves you feeling very refreshed. CE Ferulic from SkinCeuticals was one of the first products I discovered when I was building a more “adult” skincare routine, and I’ve been using it ever since. It makes me glow so much. Yes, it’s expensive, but it lasts a long time.
Did you know that the dad in “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” uses Windex for everything? Avène Cicalfate Restorative Skin Cream This is my Windex. I apply it when I get pimples. Once you have picked the wound, apply it. scar? Burn? Please wear it. I don’t even really understand what it’s for. I’ve used it all my life. weleda skin food cream For me, it was a rather “recent” discovery. I like to wear it overnight. The funny thing is, when I told my friends about it, they were like, “Oh.” I use that all the time. ” I thought, “Why didn’t you tell me!”
rhodes glazing milk This is one of those products I always use if I know I’m going to be wearing makeup as it gives a really smooth base. It’s also very moisturizing, so it’s useful when traveling. And I love everything about OSEA.i always have them hand cream next to my bed. I also keep one in my wallet. It’s really the best.of Undaria algae body oil It is especially good because it is quickly absorbed into the skin. I’ve tried other oils that leave me greasy for hours, but with OSEA, if I apply them right after I get out of the shower and my skin is still damp, I can get dressed in less than 5 minutes. Masu. Since I was pregnant, I have been adding more moisture. TY balm.it was made by my friend tyson solomon. It’s so delicious and made with all organic and vegan ingredients.
I’ve tried many different sunscreens, but this is my favorite Acure’s Radical Rejuvenating SPF Day CreamIt’s not sticky and spreads on very smoothly.For my body, I like Avène Mineral Body Lotion SPF 50.
compensate
My goal with makeup is always to enhance what I have and make me look radiant. I have dark features and a lot of freckles, so the moment I apply too much, it looks like I’m just putting it on my face, which I don’t like.
I have a melasma patch that needs some coverage, but I try to treat it as lightly as possible.I love kylie power plush concealer in 3N and 4W. It provides good coverage even if you don’t use a lot. I always put a little dot under my eyes with my finger and buff it out with a brush. kylie concealer brush. I don’t like beauty sponges. No matter how hard you try, you’ll never be able to completely clean it because it absorbs so much product. If you think about it, it’s kind of terrible. It’s not cheap either.
Chanel les beiges bronzing cream It’s a fan favorite for a reason. It has a very moist formula that melts into the skin without feeling heavy. Very good.I love using shades Soleil Tan Bronze Actually in my eyes. I don’t like my eyes to be too dark or too shiny, Chanel multi-use glow stick in sculpture or dragee over bronzer. My eyes are naturally very big, so I feel like this combination makes them even bigger. It varies considerably depending on mascara, but maybelline great rush That’s excellent.
I love all of Charlotte Tilbury’s work, but especially her work cheek to chic blush.I like to put it pillow talk original Apply to your nose and cheekbones and blend as you would your forehead. I like that the color is not too pink. Looks very natural to me. In the summer, I might add a second blush for added strength. Kylie’s Pressed Blush Powder in winter kiss That’s excellent. Easy to carry and really long lasting. If you feel like you need a little something on your face when you walk into the room, dab on some powder.Oh, I added just a little more. chanel glow stick Place it on your nose and mix to create a sparkly pink color.
charlotte tilbury lip cheat lip liner in Pillow talk It’s a little darker than my lips’ natural color, so it really helps create the illusion that my lips are a little bigger than they actually are. It also lasts forever without smudging or stickiness. We asked makeup artist Mary Phillips to teach us how to create lines.and i love everything Rhode’s Peptide Lip Tintbut what I’m particularly drawn to is toast and espresso. The formula is not sticky at all. I love the way it feels on my lips, so I always reapply.and always have the original peptide lip treatment in my wallet. It’s very moisturizing and lightweight, so I asked my husband to apply it on me. Got her brothers on it. amazing.
hair
I treat my hair the same way most people treat their faces. The hair industry is all about repair, but I’m all about prevention. That’s why I’ve never dyed my hair. Growing up, it was instilled in me that my hair was tied to my place of origin, my family, and my Moroccan culture. If I had dyed it or cut it off completely, my father would have killed me. My mother is also Moroccan, but she has blonde hair, and she always says to me, “Your color is the most beautiful.” Never touch it. ”
I go for a haircut every 6 weeks. Although my hair grows quickly, I also highly recommend getting it cut regularly. I think that’s the only way to prevent split ends. People are so scared to cut their hair, which I understand, but they don’t realize that cutting your hair won’t change anything other than having healthy hair. I have such a wonderful stylist, Rita Giri, come to my house. Actually, her husband’s stylist came first, but he is very understanding about my hair.
Before founding Anablue, I was always trying to find the best “clean” products on the market. When I started creating my line, I wanted to start with the perfect 3-step routine that covered the basic necessities. All products contain argan oil to help moisturize your hair and keep your scalp healthy.I always start my routine by doing the following treatment oil to the edge of the scalp. Sometimes I leave it on overnight or longer and wash it off in the morning, but it’s fine to leave it on for about 30 minutes. Then, use a scalp cleanser to wash away the oil. Gently exfoliates the scalp and stimulates new hair growth. Our scalp is just like our skin. If you don’t exfoliate, dead skin cells will build up and clog your pores. It is recommended to use the cleanser once or twice a week. Honestly, I don’t like washing my hair with my fingers. I feel that it will never be possible to get all parts of the head with my own hands.i really love me scalp massager. Massagers in general are great for simulating blood flow in the scalp and promoting hair growth. I use it all the time on both dry and wet hair. Also, I don’t use any conditioner after that because the argan in the treatment oil acts as a natural conditioner.
When your hair is wet, it gets damaged easily, Reverie Good Detangling Hair Brush, it has the same prongs as my scalp massager. My hair doesn’t get pulled at all. That said, I’ve never really used it on wet hair. My hair is wavy and I like to settle into a natural pattern.If there are knots, add ours hair serum to smooth it out. It’s really fun and you can use it whenever you want. It also doesn’t contain silicone, so I’m very proud of it.
When you are styling or need to put your hair up, Emi Jay’s Big Effing Clip and Slip’s skinny silk scrunchie—Any kind of silk is good for your hair overall.i have too slip silk pillow cover Prevents dryness and even prevents hair loss. Perfect as a little addition to your hair care routine.
nail
I don’t have time to do my nails once a week, and I can’t bear to show up somewhere with my nails peeled off. Therefore, the easiest way is to do a gel manicure every few weeks.I went long tran Worked at Nature Nails for 10 years. He traveled from salon to salon and I followed him everywhere. When I meet him, I wear UV protection gloves. I have it cut quite short now. In fact, he’s so funny that Long made fun of me cutting my nails. I had the longest and sharpest nails. [my son] It was snowing, but there was a moment when I realized, “Oh, this is kind of creepy.” It’s like when you have long nails, washing the dishes suddenly becomes a hassle. I was also worried that I would poke him in the eye. Long looks at me now and says, “You’ve changed since having the baby.”
scent
I don’t use perfume much. I didn’t grow up watching my mom use them, so they never became part of my daily routine. However, I love the scent of flowers I have at home, especially gardenias. I want people who visit me to feel like they are walking through a garden, perhaps filled with the scent of citrus. Diptyque makes candles with beautiful floral scents that aren’t too overpowering. rose is a classic. Also perfect as a gift.the same applies Night Blooming Jasmine & Damask Rose Candle by Flamingo Estate. Although it is floral, it also feels refreshing at the same time. ”
