If there’s one thing we need less post-quarantine than another tie dye lounge set, it’s two tie dye lounge sets. However thanks to Gina Kirschenheiter we may need to make more room in our overflowing closets, because the ones she modelled for us here are totally tie-dye* for.

 

Fashionably,

Faryn

Christine Quinn on Her ‘Dominatrix Barbie’ Style & Bold New Makeup Collab

Although I devoured every season of Selling Sunset the second it hit Netflix, I feel like I don’t really know Christine Quinn. Much like Paris Hilton in her Simple Life days, It was obvious Quinn was playing a bit of a character, one people love to hate. Well, that “bad bitch” persona caught the attention of Ciaté London founder Charlotte Knight. Two years later and the Christine Quinn x Ciaté London collection is born.

“She watched the show and she was like, ‘I see something in you,’ Quinn says of her meeting with the Ciaté London founder. “‘I love the duality of your personality. I see the character that you play but I know that’s not you. I see this sassy vixen but I also know there’s this sweet girl there.’” This vibe went perfectly with Ciaté’s Glitter Flip lipstick, where there are two sides to every shade. The duo connected right away. “It was really organic and natural,” says Quinn. “She’s an amazing boss and businesswoman.”

Keep reading for my convo with Quinn while she was on a break from filming Selling Sunset to learn more about her first makeup collaboration, how she fell in love with the beauty world and that black wedding dress.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

How Her Texas Roots Inspired Her Love of Makeup

“Where I grew up in Texas, everyone was a debutante every day of their life,” says Quinn. “I went to school with a lot of pageant girls, I wasn’t one of them — I was a theater nerd — but they were always so beautiful with the hair and the makeup.” She was especially drawn to a bold red lip while watching old Hollywood movies and Marilyn Monroe films. That’s why her collection includes a plumping red gloss. “That’s one thing I always have a hard finding, a lip with pigment that has the plumping that I love,” she adds.

How She’s Learn to Love the Skin She’s In

When Quinn moved to Los Angeles, she was a bit intimidated by the more laid-back West Coast idea of beauty. “I was going to auditions looking at everyone else thinking they’re so naturally pretty!” she says. Quinn “equated makeup and glam to beauty” and it took a while for her to realize she was naturally beautiful, too. Now, there are days the new mom skips makeup entirely. “I never wear makeup if I’m not working,” she says. “I feel like I’m a catfish when I go out. I love to give my skin a break. If I’m not working, I’ll do mascara if I’m headed out but that’s really it.

How She Defines Her Personal Style

“It’s constantly evolving but I say I’m this dominatrix Barbie,” says Quinn. “I like to play with different colors.” She experiments with more feminine styles but adds her own edgy twist — just like her viral glam-meets-goth wedding and her black dress that had everyone talking.

“I don’t want to take the credit. My sister was the one who got married first in a black wedding dress,” says Quinn. “She inspired me. I really snowballed it — no pun intended — and figured if I’m wearing black, I really love the contrast of this winter wonderland.” As a nod to her theater roots, she added a “Wicked element” with her own twist.

Her Favorite Product from the Collection

While filming the show, Quinn applies lotion to her body, and her makeup artist dusts on the No Filt-Her Universal Complexion Brightener. Although it’s technically for the face, she loves it head to toe. “I tried it without lotion and it stuck to my body really well so I was using it on my clavicle, my shoulders, all over my legs,” she says. “I was really surprised how well this worked not just on the face but all over the body, too.”

She’s also excited about the ultra-unique product packaging with drawings from her favorite New York street artist 1penemy. “He’s known for these famous portraits he does of celebrities like they’re in jail,” she says. “He actually painted me and it’s in my house. I just loved that picture. So we worked with him to create this bad girl vibe with a cute sweet side.”

This isn’t the last we’ll see of Quinn in the beauty space. But for now, you can shop all her Ciaté London products, below.

Claim the Best You at 60 with These 6 Relaxation Techniques

Claim the Best You at 60 with These 6 Relaxation Techniques

You have probably found that after reaching 60 you have a little more time to do things you have always wanted to do but never got around to pursuing. Many of us have more time for family, friends, hobbies, travel, and other pleasures.

One item often overlooked is giving yourself time to relax. I am not speaking of rest, vacation, or sleep. My focus is a total relaxation with attention to breathing and visualization.

Several studies have suggested that using relaxation techniques can be beneficial for people of any age. Since 60 is a stressful milestone, these techniques can help calm your mind and body.

Relaxation, along with other physical activity, can help reduce everyday stress, lift up your mood and energy, and improve your mental and physical health.

So, what should you expect when you practice relaxation methods? Responses can include improved heart rate and blood pressure, slower breathing, relaxed muscles, and increased blood flow to the brain.

Anyone can achieve these benefits along with increased energy and focus, improved motivation and productivity as well as comfort for minor aches and pains.

You can do most of these techniques on your own, and the following are steps to get you started on your journey to total relaxation. As always, consult with a physician before any exercise, and if you have heart or respiratory issues.

Set the Stage

Begin by finding a quiet, dimly lit room with space to lay flat on a mat. If you prefer, you can sit with your back against a wall. Adjust the room temperature for your needs. If you believe it may be too cool, wear warmer clothing or have a light-weight blanket.

I recommend background music, but the selection should be soft. Outdoor sounds such as ocean waves, rain, or anything quiet that allows you to be mindful of your breath and body would be suitable examples. There are many types of selections available to download depending on your taste.

Breathing

Get comfortable on your mat. Close your eyes and focus on your breathing. Inhale through your nose and exhale from your mouth. Listen to your breath. Think about how you are feeling more at ease. Listen to the sounds around you as you inhale and exhale.

Body Release Exercise

Once you feel at ease, take a moment to assess your body. Make a mental note of any tension and tightness. Make sure you are feeling at rest. Your arms can be at your side or on your abdomen. Let your legs feel relaxed and open.

If your neck feels uncomfortable, add a small rolled pillow underneath it for support but keep your head straight with your body. Take your mind to the top of your head and imagine the hair on your head relax.

Imagine a warm liquid flowing through your body beginning at the top of your head and working its way down to your toes. Notice if there is any tension and feel those areas softening.

As you continue breathing, imagine the warmth flowing through your fingers and out your toes. With each area it covers, think how your body is relaxing, all tension is dissolving, and you feel as though your body has melted into the floor.

Visualization

Once your body is at a full state of feeling relaxed, think about a place you enjoy, where you feel safe and happy. It may be at the beach, in the mountains, at a lake, or a special place known only to you.

As you think about this place, note the sounds and the colors. Are there flowers, clouds, or wind? Do you feel or taste anything? Take in all the details of the area as you look around and breathe. Think how wonderful it is and what a special place you’re in.

Take a moment to think about any stress or worries you have and how they are flying away in a balloon, with a bird or butterfly. You can watch it until it disappears. Enjoy the time here and feel the total relaxed state.

Return

Once you are in a total relaxed state, engage your body by opening your eyes. Take a moment to wiggle your fingers and toes then stretch more deeply in your current position.

Turn on your side for a few moments as you get more focused on your body and feelings. Once you feel ready, you can sit up slowly, take a few cleansing breaths, and then stand when you feel comfortable.

Positive Reinforcement

Finish your total relaxation exercise with a positive reinforcement statement such as, “I have the power to take care of me, and today I gave myself a gift.”

As you practice your technique, you will find it will become easier and your body will respond quicker. The benefit over time will be worth the effort.

“I’ve let my body soften. I’ve let it relax.” – Wendy Whelan

What techniques do you practice to relax your body and mind? How often do you practice them? What place do you imagine yourself to be in during your relaxation? What scents do you smell and what sounds do you hear? Please share them in the comments below!
