Get Fresh has brought back it's oh-so-popular Blackberry Vanilla Scent in the form of the Warrior Princess line! We're super excited about this here at BOAS because it's definitely one of our favorite scents. What's even better is that the packaging is ultra-girlie, vibrant and just plain pretty. Plus, the Warrior Princess line was designed to give back. Get Fresh is donating a portion of the Warrior Princess proceeds to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project, a wonderful charitable organization that helps our women and men in the military recover from the physical and psychological injuries they sustained while in uniform. So, when you order some fabulous products you're also helping out the men and women who defend our country. It's a win-win situation! Want other ways to be charitable while you shop?

We all know Kate Winslet.  She touched all of our hearts in Titanic whens she told Jack that she'd never let go, and made us scratch our heads in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. We know Kate as the glamorous movie star that she is. Now Ms. Winslet can add television Emmy winner to her resume. Playing the lead and title role in HBO's mini-series Mildred Pearce, Kate portrayed her character's many life battles with grace and believability. So what did Kate wear to receive her first Emmy Award? A fabulous red gown, diamond earrings and bracelet and some fierce hair and make-up. Kate always looks classy on the red carpet, but she definitely upped the ante this year. There were a lot of red dresses on the red carpet this weekend, but Kate's smokey eyes and nude lips made her stand out. So how did Kate get her make-up so perfect? Well, we're not her make-up artist so we don't know exactly, but here's how YOU can get a look just like hers for your next night out. Start out with your favorite foundation all over, even on your lids. For the eyes: Use the Tigi High Density Eye Shadow Quad in Love Affair using the lightest color as a highlighter under your brow. The shimmer brown color should go on your lid up to your crease.  Don't forget to apply this color along your lower lashes too! Then take the darkest brown and gently blend that in a "V" shape at the outer corner of your eye. Blend the colors until you have your desired look adding in some of the highlighter if needed. Now, use Tigi Perfect Eyeliner in brown and line both your top and bottom lash lines. Smudge this a little to increase the smokey feel. Finally, apply some Blinc Mascara in Black to both your top and lower lashes. If you're going for a more subtle look just use you favorite eye lash curler and you're done.  If you're going for a little more drama, put on some Ardell Fashion Lashes for a "wow" effect. For your lips and face: Dab on some DuWop Blushbooster in Watermelon. Then line your lips using Tigi Perfect Lip liner in Nude. Finally, apply Tigi Decadent Lipstick in either Faith or Peace depending on your skin tone.  Make sure to blot your lipstick and re-apply as needed! *Be paparazzi ready by putting a little vaseline on your teeth before applying your lipstick. This will prevent the awful fashion faux pas of lipstick on the teeth and will also make your smile that much brighter*

Even though it's May, Spring seems to be delivering all sorts of showers just a little bit late.  All of our May weddings, events, graduation parties and picnics are requiring serious humidity-proof hair, as showers hang in the distance, threatening our sunny plans.  Here are our top three products for fighting humidity, and keeping a style looking great all day long:

	Cutler's Volumizing Spray is by far my favorite humidity proofing product, and it doesn't even have humidity in the title! My biggest problems with humidity are one either my hair totally flattening and losing curl, or my hair poofing and frizzing out of control. Cutler's Volumizing Spray both controls these factors in daily styles, but also provides nurturing ingredients and heat protection that keep your hair healthy, reducing these effects from the beginning! Purchase it here for $21.
	Bed Head Some Like It Hot product range includes three products that are all uniquely designed to protect against humidity while styling. Including a shampoo, conditioner and weather-neutralizing serum, these products not only protect against frizz from humidity, but also from the damage of heat and from color loss in the sun. Perfect for beach-y summers and sunny weekends! Purchase here, $16-17.
	The Blow Weather Girl Climate Neutralizing Complex is a miracle product created by Blow, a company that prides itself on creating products for people who heat style daily. Gentle and nutritive on over-heated hair, Weather Girl locks out humidity by coating hair, while remaining weightless and protecting from frizz. Purchase here for $22.

Zoya's newest pair of collections feature 12 bold, brilliant and beautiful colors that are perfect for warmer weather and sunny days. The Flash collection includes bright pastels with a classic creme finish to showcase the brilliant warmth of all of the hues. The Zoya Sparkle collection embraces shimmering glitter over bright, vibrant colors. These slightly darker shades are bright and full, full of gorgeous depth and colorful excitement. Summer's most popular colors can be yours today! Order Zoya's Flash and Sparkle collections either as a whole collection, or purchase your favorite colors individually!
