Maybe I was sidetracked by the gorgeous green, but I couldn’t take my eyes off of Nina Dobrev from Vampire Diaries. Celebrity makeup artist and CVS/pharmacy Beauty Board member Mickey Williams shared the following tips on how to re-create them at home using products found at your local CVS/pharmacy. Get Nina’s knockout look with these easy steps and products:
- Maximize shine in the shower by using gloss-boosting products, like the John Frieda Brilliant collection. Start with shampoo and conditioner and follow with a touch of the glaze.
- Nina’s hair is naturally wavy, so to get sleek strands, separate hair into four sections. Leave the bottom portion down and flatiron hair in one inch sections with a tourmaline iron like the Chi Air.
- Nina’s super black lashes and brown-lined eyes were accentuated by understated peachy-nude lips and cheeks, allowing her naturally-perfect skin to shine through. Draw a dark brown line with Nuance Salma Hayek Lasting Wear Gel Eyeliner (Brown) along eye shape and curve with the eye, thickening the line toward the outer corners of eyes. Curl lashes and follow up with two to three coats of mega black mascara, like CoverGirl’s Lash Exact Mascara (Very Black).
One (1) lucky LAB reader will receive the following:
- Shampoo, conditioner and glaze from the John Frieda Brilliant collection
- A Chi Air flatiron
- Nuance Salma Hayek Lasting Wear Gel Eyeliner in Brown
- CoverGirl’s Lash Exact Mascara in Very Black

If I read the rules correctly it says there is no limit on how many times someone can enter, so hope this works, as I am extremely excited for this giveaway because John Frieda is my favorite hair products, AND, my crappy flat iron just gave out on me two weeks ago! It’s perfect! lol!
