I Told You Amy Would Go Back To Black

I told y’all that Amy Winehouse wouldn’t be blonde for very long. This morning, she debuted her darker do, just prior to entering a rehab facility.

Perhaps the crackhead chanteuse wanted to go a bit more incognito (good luck, with a 2-foot beehive) in the wake of her drug video. Or maybe it was last night’s episode of Project Runway that promped her to go back to black.

Biel Goes Blonde

Earlier today, the paparazzi snapped this photo of Jessica Biel - and her new flaxen do - at London's Heathrow airport. In just the last hour or so, this pic has been popping up all over the Internet - and everyone's weighing in on whether her haircolor is a hit or miss. But what baffles me is that no one has commented on her swollen upper lip - that sucker is huge!

Back To Black?

Amy Winehouse debuted a new blonde do earlier today. She's pretty impulsive, so I don't expect this look to last...she'll be back to black in no time.

I am loving her Johnny Depp 'Cry Baby' tee, though.

It's Your Turn To Shine

Lately, my hair has been looking quite dull. But I was getting tired of piling on shine products, just to have them build up and weigh down my hair. I’d heard glowing (no pun intended) reviews of John Frieda’s Luminous Color Glaze – so I decided to buy a bottle to see if it also deserved the Spoiled Pretty stamp of approval. I’m happy to report that my $9.99 was money well spent.

Luminous Color Glaze is the first easy-to-use, at-home treatment from John Frieda Collection that delivers the results of a professional salon glaze, right in the shower. This easy-to-use gel-creme formula turns the light on dull, lackluster hair – adding a hint of glossy color and multi-dimensional shine.

Immediately, I noticed that my hair was more visibly shiny, and silky – to boot. After 3-5 uses, it promises increased shine, a hint of glossy color, and subtly blended grays. After 6-8 uses, you’ll notice multi-dimensional shine, rich color, and gray hairs concealed.

Luminous Color Glaze is not a permanent hair color, so it will not lift or lighten color. Ammonia and peroxide-free, it’s safe for damaged or processed hair.

John Frieda products are available at your local drugstore.

Lighten Up

As the days get shorter and the weather colder, most women opt to go darker – with their hair, cosmetics, and wardrobe. Christina Ricci isn’t most women. Just in time for Halloween, the actress traded in her signature goth style for a lighter, brighter look at a Louis Vuitton event in Los Angeles.

What do you think of Christina’s new do? Is it a keeper? Or should she go, as Amy Winehouse puts it, back to black?

Bad Dye Job

Does this photo make you want to buy the product?

I realize that this Garnier Nutrisse ad has been out for a while...but, lately, it seems like it's everywhere. Maybe Garnier is trying to capitalize on the buzz surrounding the forthcoming SATC movie, or perhaps it's all just coincidence. What has me perplexed, though, is how this came to be an ad in the first place.

Don't get me wrong - I have no problem with Garnier; in fact, my husband is a big fan of their shampoo. My issue is that Sarah Jessica Parker looks so blah in this photo. The hair color is shiny and multidimensional - but it does nothing for her...in fact, it makes her look downright dowdy.

I think SJP is a talented actress, a smart entrepreneur, and a good role model for women. But at the same time, I think more women dream about being Carrie, her alter ego, than being like SJP. IMO, whovever made the decision to dye her hair this unflattering auburn shade has: a) poor taste and b) is completely out of touch with what women want.

Which leaves me wondering how much better Garnier's sales would be had they photographed SJP with her trademark cascade of blonde curls.

Just a thought.

Back To Your Roots?

The October issue of Vogue proclaims visible 90’s roots as the next big thang. But for once, I’m calling bullsh*t on Anna Wintour.

According to the article, “Slightly grown-out color sends a message of 'I have better things to do. I go to the functions, but I have kid, I have a life'."

Spoiled Pretty begs to differ. A woman spending such an absurd amount of time and money on high-maintenance hair color to send the message that she’s low-maintenance needs to get a life.

PS – Though I thumb my nose at this ridiculous article, please don’t forward this post to Ms. Wintour's attention...you heard what happened when Rachel Zoe taunted the style empress?!?!

Hot Coffee

While perusing the Daily Beauty Flash column at InStyle.com, I was blown away by this photo of Jessica Biel. Granted, her makeup is subtle, yet stunning – but what really caught my eye was the rich espresso hue of her hair color.

"Going with a vibrant dark shade is the perfect way to freshen up your look for fall. And deep colors reflect light better, so your hair will automatically look shiny," says celebrity colorist Tracey Cunningham at John Frieda in L.A.

To prevent fading, choose a shampoo formulated for color-treated tresses and use a color-depositing glaze once a week. Try Frederic Fekkai Technician Shampoo For Dry, Damaged, Color-Treated Hair and John Frieda Luminous Color Glaze.
