WHAT'S BEHIND YOUR USERNAME?
No, I didn't compete on the show, but I recently earned my MBA in Marketing and Entrepreneurship. As Managing Editor of Beauty in the Bag, I'm putting what I've learned in my coursework to work - to infuse the site with a healthy mix of intelligence, business savvy and creativity in all things beauty.
YOUR REAL NAME
Ilana
WHERE ARE YOU?
New York via Miami
DESERT ISLAND BEAUTY PRODUCTS?
Facial cleansing cloths, Clinique lip glosses, and with my fair skin, sunscreen is a must!
FAVOURITE BEAUTY BRANDS?
I'm quite brand agnostic; I know what I like when I try it. Chanel & Clinique for lips, Nars blush/bronzer in Orgasm, Chantecaille concealer, Prescriptives highlighter in Pink 03 (for cheekbones and just a dab under the eyebrows), and for mascara and liner, whatever is most budget friendly - without looking it.
ARE YOU A MOM?
Not yet!
WHAT’S YOUR BAG?
I have a bag for every outfit, but my favorite is a little cream colored leather clutch that looks like a bow with a jewel encrusted clasp, which I bought on sale years ago at Banana Republic. It's a piece of art. And one day, the dreamed of Chanel Caviar bag....
ON THE WEB?
I'm also a "fashion apprentice": Haute & Chic

ilana@beautyinthebag.comMeet the Hair Restoration Maven
Founder, CEO and client of LeMetric Hair Center INC, Ellen Surianello was diagnosed with Androgentic Alopecia years before she patented her handmade, chemical free LeMetric Hair System and opened the LeMetric Center headquarters in New York City. The story goes: back in the 90s Ladies’ Home Journal ran a 4-page spread on her condition, which led to an influx of 9,000 phone calls from women eager for more information. Elline’s message of empowerment is a welcome one for the estimated 30 million women in the U.S. with hereditary hair loss (American Academy of Dermatology) and the many others who experience hair thinning and similar concerns.

Meet the Makeup Mogul
As the eponymous creator of By Terry, Terry de Gunzberg hails from a family of scientists – her father is a Doctor of Chemistry and a researcher – so it was no surprise that she initially pursued medicine at university. However, her creative instincts puller her in another direction. Among her career highlights, Terry spent 15 years with Yves Saint Laurent, where she invented Touche Éclat and did makeup for the YSL Haute Couture shows. On beauty and luxury, Terry belives: “luxury is what is rare, what is made conscientiously and consistently. It is made with care and founded on know-how.”
