Exclusive Beauty Girl Discount on My Favorite Winter Wear

Majestic shirtsI’ve got an enemy. I’ve tried everything humanly possible to reconcile my feelings, but the truth is, we just don’t get along — me and the cold. No matter which angle I confront it, these damn icy temps are flat out rude. How can I not take it personally when this bugar-freezing weather beats my hair into a flat, static mess, corrupts my skin and attacks my bones with an unrelenting chill.

All of that said, I’m not letting this battle end in defeat. I’ve discovered the ultimate armor that soothes my “burr” like a cup of hot cocoa. It’s called Majestic clothing.

Majestic tops are as cute as they are cozy and have become my winter uniform. The shirts come in a variety of melt-in-your-hand fabrics and in a range of styles including turtlenecks, tanks and long sleeves. I love that the shirts are cuddly but not clumpy. In fact, they’re incredibly thin and lightweight, which makes them ideal for layering.

Normally, they sell for around $90 on the company website and are even more expensive at retail (they’re sold at Nordstrom). But, Majestic was kind enough to extend a special 15% discount to The Beauty Girl readers. Enter “Thebeautygirl” in the promo code box at checkout. Offer ends Feb. 1, 2011. Happy Shopping!

Hair How To: Katy Perry’s Red-Carpet Waves at the "People’s Choice Awards"

Katy PerryKaty Perry flaunted some incredible curves at the 2011 People’s Choice Awards. Want to know how to get her amazing body? Now you can!…from the head up :)

Celebrity hairstylist Danilo, the man behind Gwen Stefani’s signature locks, created Mrs. Brand’s romantic waves and then shared the steps to doing this ‘do.

Katy arrived on the scene with freshly washed, towel-dried hair so Danilo had a clean base for styling.

1. He first lightly misted her hair with a heat-protective spray to wet and condition.

2. He then focused on prepping her roots for the voluminous style by spraying them with Pantene Pro-V Fine Hair Root Lifter Spray Gel.

3. Next, Danilo blew her hair out and, once dried, rubbed a small dollop of Pantene Pro-V Restore Beautiful Lengths Smoothing Balm section-by-section before he applied heat from the curling iron.

4. He used a medium-sized curling iron to set each section and sprayed a hairspray over the set to give it hold before letting it cool for five minutes.

5. Finally, he then released Katy’s hair, brushed it gently, and “let her hair fall very full and wavy.” He parted her hair to the side with lift in the front, and left her remaining curls big and loose for the final finish.
