Beauty Products On The Way
Beauty companies from around the world are unveiling their newest products this week at the International Beauty Show in New York.
So, it was a natural destination for The Early Show's stylist to the stars, David Evangelista.
He selected some to showcase for viewers on Tuesday.
Among them: An infrared "portable sauna" from Health Mate Saunas. It's a pre-made sauna the company says can be put into your house, backyard or terrace. It comes with a built-in stereo that has a radio and plays CDs and MP3s, as well as twinkle lights that blink in different colors inside the sauna. It retails for roughly $5000.
Other products singled out by Evangelista, as described below by their manufacturers included:
Chi Volumizing Iron: A ceramic, ionic and infrared volumizing iron that lifts hair from the root area to create volume and fullness. Its design provides groves that hold hair in place until volume has been achieved, and curved ceramic plates enable you to curl, finger wave, bend, flip and turn the iron to achieve numerous styling possibilities. Even smooth, sleek styles are simple and easy with the volumizing iron. As fashion changes, so should the tools you use, and the Chi Volumizing Iron enables you to create root lift, volume and movement with ease. It incorporates pharmaceutical grade ceramics that prevent damage to the hair.
