Jesse & Joy's 'Latinos Imparables' Tour with P&G Downy


Last week (or 2 weeks ago, not sure, apparently I go to LA a lot) I attended the filming of a cool P&G Downy laundry video for their Unstopables scent boosters collection. Disclosure: Downy is my client at Fleishman-Hillard. The video is to prove how awesome the product smells...and this week we announced at a Live Nation press conference in Hollywood that Downy was going on a US national tour with Jesse & Joy! The tour will prove that their clothes will stay smelling fresh throughout the tour. Read all about this campaign I'm working on below...

Press Release:

House of Blues Entertainment and Downy Unstopables™ Team Up for Jesse & Joy’s “Latinos Imparables” Tour

Five-Time Latin Grammy Winners will Test the Long-Lasting Freshness of Downy Unstopables throughout their first U.S. Tour
LOS ANGELES--()--Mexican pop duo Jesse & Joy announced this morning the kickoff of their first U.S. tour, “Latinos Imparables”, presented by Downy Unstopables™ in partnership with House of Blues Entertainment. The tour will start on May 22 in San Francisco, with a last stop in Dallas on June 12. Special guests will be Mexican singer Lilo.
“Jesse & Joy is one of the most exciting groups in Latin Music today and we are pleased that they are headlining the inaugural ‘Latinos Imparables’ tour, presented by Downy”
“Jesse & Joy is one of the most exciting groups in Latin Music today and we are pleased that they are headlining the inaugural ‘Latinos Imparables’ tour, presented by Downy,” said Manuel Moran, vice president, Latin programming and touring, Live Nation. “The partnership with Downy enables us to combine both companies’ resources to reach new audiences.”
Downy Unstopables™ is a fun and easy-to-use scent booster that is added at the start of the wash to infuse fabrics with freshness that can last up to 12 weeks in storage. The Downy team will be putting to the test the freshness power of Downy Unstopables™ by washing key wardrobe pieces from Jesse & Joy. At various stops along the tour, the garments will be pulled out from storage to show that they remain fresh, right up until the 12th week.
“We are very excited to be supporting Jesse & Joy’s first U.S. tour, which offers the perfect space to test the long-lasting freshness power of Downy Unstopables,” said Carolina Rogoll, Downy Brand Manager. “We know from research that long-lasting freshness is a key result that consumers are seeking when doing laundry, and what better way to show how Downy Unstopables works than by using it on the traveling wardrobe for this tour?” added Rogoll.
Five-time Latin Grammy Award winners Jesse & Joy are a Mexican pop alternative-folk duo, who have achieved gold and platinum record sales in Mexico and established themselves as one of the most important and influential artists on the current pop scene. The Warner Music Mexico's recording artists have cut three studio albums and were nominated for their first Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album (¿Con Quién Se Queda El Perro?) in 2013. The brother-sister duo have been awarded this past year with two Premio Lo Nuestro, one Cadena Dial award (Spain) and one Premio Telehit (Mexico).
Lilo, a Mexican singer-songwriter, will be the supporting act. Her track "Mr. Hollywood" served as the theme song for the MTV series “Popland” and MTV most recently premiered her track "Si Te Vas" on “Ultimo Año.” Lilo’s track "Cuentos de Radio" served as the anthem for the Nike campaign "Nosotras Corremos." Starbucks/iTunes chose her song, “Ciudad Carmelo,” as their Pick of the Week in Mexico with 50,000 downloads.
The Jesse & Joy “Latinos Imparables” Tour will benefit from a full service marketing campaign, including featured placement across all Live Nation, Ticketmaster and House of Blues websites and email marketing; social media marketing, and special in-venue promotions. In addition, Downy and Live Nation Studios will create eight video segments for the tour (including one where the tour stylist Francis Bertrand will showcase the tour wardrobe selection and preparation).

Modern Family Beauty @ #SAGAwards 2013

I know, this is turning into the Sofia Vergara Blog. Your point?

Once again Latina COVERGIRL Sofia Vergara (client) wows international beauty and fashion critics on the red carpet, this time at the annual Screen Actors Guild Awards! Sofia wore a stunning white Donna Karan gown, accompanied by partner Nick Loeb, with COVERGIRL glam provided by her lead makeup artist, Kayleen McAdams. 



For my girls, below is the beauty breakdown on how-to get her look in English & Spanish:


Sofia Vergara’s Screen Actors Guild Awards 2013 Look by Kayleen McAdams
·         Quote: “I wanted to do something fresh and new on Sofia. Her white dress gave me a bare canvas for her face, and I was able to bring an element of color with a purple eye shadow. We have never done a bright color shadow for an award show so this was our first!”
1.       I started by applying COVERGIRL Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation in Classic Tan (#860) all over Sofia’s face, and then used COVERGIRL + Olay Pressed Powder in Medium along her T-Zone to set the product so it would last all night.
2.       I then applied Cheekers Blush is Classic Pink to make her look bright and fresh.
3.       With the eyes, I applied SmokyShadowBlast in Purple Plume all over the lid and then smudged Queen Collection Vivid Impact Eyeliner in Cabernet all along her top and bottom lashes.
4.       I finished the look with three coats of Very Black Clump Crusher by LashBlast Mascara.
5.       On the lips, I applied LipPerfection Lipliner in Beloved over the entire lip and then topped with the LipPerfection Jumbo Gloss Balm in Rose Twist to give a hint of glossy sheen.

El look de Sofia Vergara en Screen Actors Guild Awards 2013  por Kayleen McAdams
·         Quote: “Quise crear algo fresco y novedoso para Sofía. Su vestido color blanco me dio carta blanca para escoger entre una gama infinitas de colores para su rostro, así que elegí darle ese toque de color con sombras de ojos en tonos violeta. ¡Esta era la primera vez que utilizábamos sombras de colores brillantes para una entrega de premios!”
o   Comencé aplicando COVERGIRL Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation en Classic Tan (#860) cubriendo todo el rostro de Sofía, y luego utilicé  COVERGIRL + Olay Pressed Powder en Medium aplicándolo a lo largo de la zona T, esto ayuda a fijar el producto para que dure toda la noche.
o   Luego apliqué Cheekers Blush en Classic Pink para lograr que su maquillaje luciera radiante  y fresco.
o   En los ojos, apliqué SmokyShadowBlast en Purple Plume por todo el párpado, para luego delinearlos con Queen Collection Vivid Impact Eyeliner en Cabernet  por la línea superior e inferior de las pestañas.
o   Para completar el look de los ojos, apliqué tres capas de  Clump Crusher by LashBlast Mascara en Very Black.
o   En los labios, coloqué LipPerfection Lipliner in Beloved  por todo el labio, para luego cubrirlos con el bálsamo LipPerfection Jumbo Gloss Balm in Rose Twist  y así darle un toque de brillo satinado.

The 64th Primetime Sofia Vergara Awards (aka #EMMYS)

Did you watch? No really, did you watch?

The only thing you missed was when Homeland beat Mad Men. Ugh! I personally don't watch Mad Men, although I have a degree in Advertising, but I really wanted them to win and make television history. The other thing you missed is that Julie stole Sofia Vergara's EMMY! How dare her? #Irregardles, Julie is hilar. (Hilar = Hilarious.)

And here's Sofia's butt! Read more about that here at New Now Next. SMH/Love it.


Speaking of Sofia. She was voted Best Dressed by a ton of peeps. Below is my client's breakdown on "How to Get Her Look" -- yes, makeup tips from easy, breezy!




Sofia Vergara’s Emmys Look by Kayleen McAdams 

"The inspiration for Sofia’s look was chocolate and caramel! Chocolatey brown eyes, caramel colored lips. With a dress like hers, I wanted her makeup to look delicious and sexy."

I started by applying NatureLuxe Silk Foundation in Nutmeg #360 <http://www.covergirl.com/natureluxesilkfoundation> all over the face and blended into the neck. I then used TruConceal #4 <http://www.covergirl.com/truconcealconcealer> under the eyes, around the nose and on any spots where needed. I finished with a light dusting of Clean Pressed Powder in Soft Honey <http://www.covergirl.com/cleanpressedpowder-normalskin> and Cheekers Blush in Sierra Sands <http://www.covergirl.com/cheekersblush> to set the base.

On the eyes, I started by applying Eye Enhancers 1-Kit Shadow in Brown Smolder <http://www.covergirl.com/eye-enhancers-1kitshadows> all over the lid and followed that with the Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner in Espresso <http://www.covergirl.com/perfectpointpluseyeliner> just at the root of the lashes. I also used Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner in Espresso <http://www.covergirl.com/perfectpointpluseyeliner> on the bottom lashes and set that liner with Queen Collection 1-Kit Shadow in Copper Penny <http://www.covergirl.com/queencollection-1kiteyeshadows>. I applied three coats of LashBlast Volume Mascara <http://www.covergirl.com/lashblast-volume-mascara> on both the top and bottom lashes to lengthen and add volume.

Sofia and I wanted to do something different on her lips, so we chose a shade that she never used before – and we loved the change. I tried tons of different lipsticks on my arm! We looked them all over and tried three different shades before finding the perfect one. I wanted the lip to look like caramel, so I added a little gloss. I filled in Sofia’s lips with LipPerfection Lip Color in Captivate <http://www.covergirl.com/lipperfectionlipcolor>, and then went back over the edge of the lips with LipPerfection Lip Liner in Smoky <http://www.covergirl.com/lipperfectionlipliner> to fill them out and keep her lipstick in place. I topped it all off with Queen Collection Lip Gloss in Sugar and Spice <http://www.covergirl.com/queencollection-lipgloss> just in the center of the lips.

"To keep Sofia’s look fresh all night, I gave her powder, lipstick, lip liner and gloss to keep in her purse. Sofia can’t live without LashBlast Volume Mascara <http://www.covergirl.com/lashblast-volume-mascara>, so I also keep my kit well stocked with extras."
