As any pale girl knows, a safe faux-tan is hard to come by. From looking like an Umpa Lumba to being a streaky mess, I’ve been through it all (and multiple times)!
Luckily, this month M.A.C. has a new product, Skinsheen, that they’ve promised will bronze me to perfection. I hope they’re right, because the last thing I want is to look like a pasty mess my first weekend back out in the Hamptons!

Skinsheen is a smooth-on, gel-based bronzer that’s soft and mousse-like to apply. It comes in a range from Medium to Deep Dark and is priced at $22.50. M.A.C. suggests using their $52, 179 Body Buffer brush for the best application. While Skinsheen isn’t transfer-proof, it’s highly transfer resistant, so unless you’re overly moisturized, Skinsheen will stay on and not move. From my experience, it works best if you put it on naked (not moisturized), skin and don’t do it when you’re in too much of a rush, because you’ll have to wait a few minutes for it to dry before putting back on your clothes.
The new Mac Skinsheen is available as of this month at all M.A.C. locations and at www.maccosmetics.com. Try it and tells us about your experience!

If there’s one thing that Madonna is, it’s 50 and fabulous – am I right?? Not that I fool myself into believing that it comes easy to her. One look at her toned arms and I know this mama works for her bod and youthful face!

Luckily, the makeup maven behind Madonna’s new album cover, shuemura Artistic Director, Gina Brooke, gave us the low down on how to get Madonna’s look!

Brooke says that the Hard Candy cover was all about the eyes and that she was inspired by images taken in the sixties by photographer Sam Haskins (Cowboy Kate, Five Girls, and November Girls). All it takes is 4 easy steps and you may just come out looking like a modern version of a 60s superstar yourself!

So here goes….

This could not have come at a better time! My favorite bronzing lotion from True Blue Spa, Golden State, has been discontinued!! -gasp!- ...This left me to ponder what my legs would do without it when my last bottle runs out. Well, I have found a new and even better solution, All Over Bronzing Gel from Bobbi Brown! My legs have found their new best friend ♥.This stuff is magic when you need to show a little skin without blinding the room with your whiteness, and the color is so natural that everyone is going to think you spent the afternoon in St. Barts! I use it whenever I wear a dress because it gives my legs an instant color (and confidence) boost! And it doesn’t stop there, if it’s your first time on the beach this summer, this bronzer also has an SPF 15 rating…wow! This gel is SO much easier to rub in evenly than most of the other products on the market. If I was rating this product on a 1-10 scale, it would receive a 9 only because I wish the bottle came in a larger size. You need to try this!

Not all shades of nail polish have the versatility that I have seen from MAC Demi-Blanc. Demi-Blanc is translucent and iridescent, perfect for a shiny topcoat on your favorite summer shade or layered by itself for shimmery, natural looking nails. This shade is perfect for summer! Summer nails should either be bright and fun or natural, you can add Demi-Blanc to complete both looks =) …Almost year round, I cut my nails short and usually sport a light pink shade. But with beach weather here, you will find me in my bikini wearing this sexy, barely there shimmer!

*This picture is quite a bit darker than what it looks like on your nails, I recommend going in and trying it on to see the real color.

BEST SELF TANNER EVER!! I’m pretty sure I have tried every self tanner ever made, which is my qualification for recommending this to you, my beauties! I am Swedish, German, Irish and French (aka: pale), and I need to be very careful when I use self tanners because they mostly turn me orange. Most of the time I mix self tanners with lotion to dilute them before I apply, otherwise my light skin will show every streak and every glop. Does this sound familiar? For my fellow naturally pale friends, this is exactly the product for you. This is the first product I can tell you delivered exactly what I had always hoped for, a faux day of sun bathing. The really great part about this is that you can totally notice a difference after the first application, but you can also continue to build it up by reapplying every few days or as needed…

A few times in your life you have a life altering experience and yesterday I was lucky enough to have one over a makeover. I have had many many makeovers in my life and each time I imagine I will finally have all the beauty secrets to make me as beautiful as I can possibly be. But they always fall short and I always end up with the same conclusion, "I can do my own makeup better than this". But that was before Edgar at the Jose Eber Atelier on Two Rodeo. A total master make up artist to the stars (in fact, a celebrity client showed up after my appointment but I was sworn to not divulge), he transformed my face like I could never imagine. He did things I wouldn't dare risk on my face, mostly my eyes. Well, it is all about the eyes right? Here are some of his tricks and tips as well as his favorite products:
