Unfortunately, I have to give Biolage Fortetherapie Cera-Repair ($13.49) a double thumbs-down for being a colossal waste of time. It's not often that a hair product can disappoint me this much, but after spending fifteen minutes in the shower, I was left waterlogged with knots in my hair. I actually had to step back into the shower and re-condition just to get a comb through it.

And not only that, but I was upset to have spent my allotted weekly hair mask ritual time on something completely unsatisfactory. Also, the key ingredients are lemongrass and mango and I don't think the product had any kind of scent whatsoever.

The claim from Matrix is that with continued use, these ceramide-rich conditioners help strengthen, repair and reduce breakage in your hair. The box comes with five treatments, and while I understand that you are supposed to complete them all over the course of five weeks to see the full effects, one experience was enough for me.

Something I really love about Fashion Week is all of the exciting new collaborations that go on between beauty companies and clothing designers. Last season Lancome and Peter Som created a red lipstick, and on February 6th, Kiehl's will be unveiling two new additions to their Ultra Facial product range backstage at the Derek Lam show. All of the models will prep their skin with the new products before Tom Pecheux applies their makeup and Orlando Pita styles their hair — lucky girls!

And as if going to the show isn't cool enough, all of the guests will receive a full-sized Rice & Wheat Volumizing Shampoo, Dermatologist Solutions Epidermal Re-Texturing Micro-dermabrasion, Centella Recovery Skin Salve, Centella Skin-Calming Facial Cleanser, Line-Reducing Eye-Brightening Concentrate, and their famous Lip Balm.

You've no doubt heard the hype about Nars Orgasm, the blush turned lip gloss turned Multiple. It's a slightly shimmery, peachy-pink shade that is consistently a best-seller. I think some of the buzz is just due to it having a salacious name, but some of it's due to Orgasm being a gorgeous color. While the lip gloss is just okay, the blush is really beautiful, and it's the one I reach for most often.

So, if you're already inducted into the Orgasm cult, you'll be glad to know that this spring, Nars is releasing the color as a limited-edition nail polish. Like the recent sold-out Zulu polish, it'll be a Sephora exclusive. And I'm going to wager that it'll be available only to Beauty Insider members, so if you want to snag it, you know what to do...

Oh, the stories I have to tell you about the Miss Sixty show. But before going any further, would you look at this gorgeous red hair? In a sea of blonde, black, and brown, this model's mane grabbed my attention. I loved it, but then again, the hair in general was so pretty. Neil Moodie of Bumble & bumble created the '70s-influenced look, and I snagged a minute with him before the show. "We wanted to keep the hair a little more simple because in the collection, there's a lot going on," he explained. "It's '70s, but not literal. It needs to be a little more subtle."

I also talked with Gucci Westman, the lead makeup artist who was working with MAC for the show. While she applied deep blue eye shadow to Jessica Stam, she explained the inspiration for the look. "It's a sort of a cross between Joan Jett and bohemian, with a little bit of Endora," she said. As she did with her work for Rag & Bone a few days prior, she used a rich blue as the base for eyes. "I'm feeling the blue," she said.

This afternoon, I subwayed down to a Soho loft for a non-runway fashion event. Milla Jovovich and Carmen Hawk were hosting a presentation for their clothing line, Jovovich-Hawk. "The clothes are what Mick Jagger's girlfriend would have worn," Milla explained as she walked me through a collection of plaid suiting, salmon-colored coats, and knit dresses.

At some presentations, the models do their own hair and makeup. That was the case at Jovovich-Hawk, and all three models had a cohesive, natural look. I especially loved one model's short, cropped hair. It's not often you get to see hair that's shorter than shoulder-length, but it always looks so fresh.
