This isn’t such a great week for Avon & Me. First my hopes for the Lotus Shield were dashed, and now I’m disappointed by another product that sounded so good on paper and looked great in the tube.
Jillian Dempsey for Avon Professional Eye Duo is a GREAT idea — it combines a shimmery liquid shadow on one end with a coordinating liquid liner on the other. I tried it in White with Jet Black eyeliner.
But, for starters, the Read more »

I LOVE a tanner with some SPF. You can slather it on in the morning and go about your day knowing that not only are you protected from the sun, but you’ll be tan by dinnertime!
Victoria’s Secret Beach Sexy Daily Glow Gradual Tan Moisturizer SPF15 is the reincarnation of VS’s last gradual tanner, Bare Bronze Daily Glow. That one was a favorite of mine for both scent and effectiveness, so I was curious to try the new version and see Read more »

Let’s start out with a little math:
Toner already in a pad > Toner in a bottle that you have to apply to a pad.
ARCONA Triad Pads are soaked with hydrating, toning, cleansing, and excellent-smelling Cranberry Toner. Just pull one out of the jar to remove excess makeup, tone and hydrate after cleansing, or refresh your face after a workout or a good night’s sleep.

And why use a toner, you ask? Well, these Triad Read more »

Even though I’m a major self-tanner aficionado, I’ve always steered clear of gloves, mitts, or other devices that purported to provide an even application without messing up your hands. Gloves were always too big, and mitts didn’t provide enough precise control, so I just opted to dirty up my hands and scrub them later (faves in this category: St. Tropez Tan Remover and ModelCo Tan Remover).

The lovely Lea Michele sported a ‘do by celebrity stylist Mark Townsend at the 2010 Primetime Emmy Awards, and while I wish it was a bit more “done,” I’m loving the fact that she’s wearing a couple of strategically placed hairpieces to add those caramel highlights! “Lea wanted her hair to look touchable and super modern, and full hair with lots of volume and a bit of roughness was perfect against her flawless gown” said Mark. To get Lea’s Read more »

Emily Blunt hit the red carpet at the 2010 Emmys looking fabulous and glowing (I’d be glowing too if I just married John Krasinski!).
Makeup artist Jenn Streicher used By Terry Rose de Rose blush in Fresh Rose on Emily’s cheeks, created her smokey eye with Cle de Peau quad eyeshadow in #14, and finished the lips with Tom Ford lipstick in Pink Dusk. For an allover glow, she used St. Tropez Skin Illuminator.
