  Sabrina Newman on Sep 16, 2009 7:22 AM PDT
  

  From skincare to nails, backstage for the Spring 2010 Julie Haus collection (which was sponsored by Beauty.com) was all about grunge, rocker chic. In one corner, hairstylist Oscar Blandi was creating a tousled, slept-in look while celebrity manicurist Deborah Lippmann was applying a smudged finish to the gunmetal shimmer. On the other side, Stila makeup artist Sarah Lucero was focusing on creating a messy yet pretty eye, and Bethany Wojtech for Arcona was going over how the all natural skin care line is perfect for the models' skin during fashion week as they go from show to show (something that I had always wondered!).

  Alex Gambardella on Jul 7, 2009 8:25 AM PDT
  

  While your carefree summer attitude may be easy and breezy, your unruly sun-stroked hair may be whistling a different tune (if hair could whistle, of course). The cloudless skies, high temperatures, and overall perfect beach weather unfortunately also brings harmful UV rays, frizzing humidity, and fried follicles... not to mention heat-induced laziness that'll have you feeling "blah" towards your regular hairdo but not motivated enough to put an hour's worth of effort into your style. The solution? Summer's best sun-fighting hair products, of course, from hydrating heat-screening serum to sea salt spray for effortlessly perfect beachy waves. If your hair's super hopeless, you can try them all and collect an entire arsenal of summer haircare... or just tackle your hair's heat woes one at a time and check out the slideshow for the best summer coif pick-me-ups, protectants, and detoxes!

  For the Vena Cava Spring 2009 collection, designers Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai went for an "Egyptomania" theme with a gothic, mid-seventies twist inspired by movies like Lucifer Rising.
