Robert Ramos Volumizer
While big hair evokes images of pageant queens and hair the size of Texas,
Robert Ramos, celebrity stylist to stars like Jessica Alba, Eva Mendes, Bette
Midler and Rachel McAdams to name a few, introduces his new Volumizer that
gives height without the stickiness or tackiness of typical volumizers.
Ramos’ innovative formula utilizes ingredients that not only styles the hair, but also
conditions it as well.
This alcohol free product gives great volume without making the hair feel stiff
or tacky. Best of all, a brush goes through the hair while being blow-dryed.
Key ingredients include:
hydrolyzed algae, which gives the hair texture and body while protecting the
hair from environmental assault such as sun and pollution. Most importantly,
algae will keep the hair hydrated and looking healthy.
Keratin amino acids (what hair is made of) features silk amino acids which are
hydrolyzed from pure silk fibers. It penetrates moisture into the hair while
enhancing curl or waves when applied to damp hair and scrunched in.
Midnight Minutes...
The Black Watch
Between dusk and dawn, the watch ticks on ... It is time to add a little
moonlight to the simple black watch.
The established leader in the oversized watch category, U-Boat is the only
company with both 55mm and 50mm sizes as basics in its collections. Recognizing
that the watch in general is now more of a showpiece than timepiece, U-Boat has
added features with attitude and style to distinguish the watch and the wearer.
The U-Boat Classico AB (shown) has a steel case with a PVD treatment, black
face, beige Arabic numbers, and a visible ruby. This specific watch retails for
$2,200 and is available at
www.u-boatwatch.com.
Echo is as diverse in its color palette and patterns as it is rich in family

Giovanni Organic Body Care’s New D:tox Products Embrace the Dark Side
It seems goth has gone mainstream. The edgy color once limited to nail polish is
showing up s the haute shade for lips on the runways and in a variety of other
beauty products- including body care. The new D:tox line of products from
Giovanni Organic Body Care is made from activated charcoal and volcanic ash
that delves into pores, absorbing the day
’s toxins, impurities and excess oils that interfere with skin clarity.
Traditional detox methods have generally targeted the inner body, extracting
toxins for a healthier, more energetic body. However, our skin is the first
line of defense against life
’s stressful encounters and Giovanni’s D:tox System intends to ease the brunt while also striving for healthy and
energized skin.
Hand–harvested goji and acai, exotic super-antioxidants, nourish and rejuvenate,
infusing skin with vitamins and minerals, re-establishing skin to its smoothest
state. Skin will be soft to the touch and gently fragranced by essential oils
of luscious fig and clean green tea.
The new D:tox System line includes four products that are designed for
systematic usage, giving skin a pure, natural and invigorating detoxification.
· Step one: Body Wash
· Step two: Bar Soap
· Step three: Body Scrub
· Step four: Body Lotion
Always at the forefront of raising social awareness, Giovanni Organic Cosmetics
has pledged to donate a portion of its proceeds from the D:tox line to the
National Breast Cancer Foundation.
