LIGHTS, CAMERA, FASHION!
Some of LA’s coolest fashion
insiders join forces to promote
the industry’s hottest night.

The annual Fashion’s Night Out shopping event scheduled for September 8, 2011, where retailers around the globe come together in a show of solidarity to support the fashion industry, received a marketing boost, courtesy of a public service announcement featuring LA-based designers, stylists, and fashion celebrities. The spot, produced by Kelly Howard of Kip Morrison and Associates, and filmed by Alex Reiter, will appear on the FNO LA website and be shown at the kickoff celebration at the Beverly Center and in retail locations. Here’s an exclusive behind-the-scenes peek at Smashbox Studios where hair stylists Scott Cunha and Ryan Randall from Margaret Maldonado Agency and makeup artist Dimitri James of Skinn Cosmetics got the fashion insiders ready for their closeups. Fashion’s Night Out LA is an initiative of the City of Los Angeles.

Chit Chat with EVA LA RUE
The amazingly talented Eva La Rue stars as Natalie Boa Vista in CSI: Miami, a forensic investigator who uses both cutting-edge scientific methods and old-fashioned police work to solve crimes. 101 caught up with the beautiful actress to discuss red carpet style, hair [and makeup] tips and tricks and what she does when she’s not working on the show.

What beauty tricks have you learned in the business?
I learned to line my inner eyelid under my lashes to make my eyes pop! I also love Orchid Gel Primer by Skinn By Dimitri James. It is a matte primer that works great and I don’t have to keep powdering my face all day. Too much powder starts to cake.

If you want…An Anti-Aging Formula:
Skinn Sweet & Smooth Body Polish
Marta Wohrle of TruthInAging.com loves this scrub so much she says, “I use it every day! It’s loaded with anti-aging ingredients like vitamin E and avocado oil. It also has omega-3 fatty acids–they’re so similar to your skin’s natural structure, they penetrate pores easily, helping the other ingredients soak in and do their job.” So how complete is this scrub? “It’s so hydrating you don’t need to use a moisturizer; in fact, once you use it, you don’t need to do anything else–apart from getting dressed!”

CHIN UP FOR SUMMER
If your skin seems to be following the sagging economy, cheer up. Skinn’s Chin-Up Firm, Lift & Tone and Chin-Up Redensifying creams promise to tighten up your chin area and decrease those lines.
