Post by Beauty Snob Michelle
I want to preface this entry by saying that I live in Boston. It gets really cold and really snowy here. That leads to some necessary evils like wearing Ugg boots. I know all the arguments against them. I’ve heard them all and made a few myself. But the fact remains that they are warm and keep my feet dry. While the girl in the cube next to me is peeling her frostbitten feet out of her wet socks, I’m kicking off my comfy Uggs and happily putting on my cute heels. Anyway, the reason for my whole rant is to tell you that I love Bootie Pies! Last winter I treated myself and went for pedicures a lot. But it’s pretty gross to stuff your foot back in a boot after your pedicure is over. Plastic bags ruin your toes and if you wear your flip flops your toes freeze! So, some super smart girls came up with this idea. They’re Ugg-like boots with toes that press down. You put them on before your polish and then you can run to your car with (mostly) warm feet and not ruin your pedicure. It’s starting to get cold here so I wore them to a pedicure last week. I got some strange looks but for the most part, people in the salon kept telling me how great they were and how much they wanted a pair. I highly recommend these fun boots! They’re probably not good for people who have to take public transportation because you will probably look a little silly with your toes hanging out on the subway in the middle of the winter! I was skeptical at first too but if you give them a chance I know you’ll love them as much as I do. They come in five fun colors and they’re $128 a pair. www.bootiepies.com
What do you Beauty Snobs think? Are these booties snob worthy or not?
You don't have to stop glowing just because the winter blues are looming around the corner, the key look for Fall is a healthy matte glow (not dry or cakey but a rosy flush like you just skied off the Aspen slopes!) that you can achieve easily with one of America's favorite drugstore brands, Physicians Formula. They offer a variety of multi-hued blushers that you can blend to your perfect shade of rosy glow. The Mineral wear powders and blushes are talc free and perfect for those Beauty Snobs with problematic skin so you won't have to worry about clogged pores! I like the blushing rose cheek color as it is the most natural but there are half a dozen for you to choose from! $10.95
I also received three shades of Plump Potion lip gloss that promises to fill in lines and plump up your lips. I've been using the pale pink and it stings a bit for the first few minutes of application and has a very strong fragrance (almost like a self tanner scent). If you can get past all that, it has a nice and smooth consistency although I don't know about plumping my lips to Angelina fullness. $8.95 at your local drugstore or Physician's Formula Website.
The ever fabulous Kelly Lin, Hong Kong's hottest actress, as seen on the red carpet at the Venice Film festival where her latest film was an official entry in the competition. She is wearing a Versace gown with Bvlgari jewels and a vintage clutch her best friend, the Bag Snob, gave her years ago. I am so proud of her and can't wait to see this new film!
To get Kelly's look, try Future Skin Foundation from Chantecaille and Benefit's Dandelion blush!

Our ingenue of the day is one of my all time favorite actresses! She is so intelligent and beautiful, someone I think all teenagers should look up to. Do you know who she is?

Prescriptives make up was a favorite when I was in college but through the years had faded to the back of my mind as a fond memory. I still remember the gray compacts I used to carry around with me in the early '90s, it was so modern and chic, the young and cool sibling to Estee Lauder line of products. But I lost track of my favorite items from Prescriptives as new brands lured me away with fancy colors and gimmicky shades. Last year I returned to the Prescriptives counter after almost a decade away and had a lip gloss from another company recreated as it was discontinued, the make up artist did such an amazing job mixing the exact shade of my gloss that I started paying attention to Prescriptives again. I discovered many women obsessed with Prescriptives custom blend foundation and who swear it is the only way to look natural and dewy. Honestly, I didn't really believe any of them, I was a Chanel foundation addict and didn't think any brand could match the dewiness my Teint Innocence provided me. Well, I was proven wrong last week at the Prescriptives counter at Bergdorf Goodman's infamous beauty basement!
I thought the Emmy's was really entertaining last night. I love awards shows so I might be biased but I though the pace was good and that people were pretty funny and Ryan Seacrest not as annoying as I was certain he would be. America and Katherine Heigl won, yay!!, The Office didn't win, boo!! but who cares right? You want to know what people wore so let's get to it.
Jaime Pressly wore St. John, bad choice for anyone under 50, I don't care that Angelina Jolie's image is supposed to make it more hip, it is better saved for old age. The black and silver print combo always yells "old person trying to look dressed up!", waist down it was fine, Jaime has that weight lifter body, but the bust area looks like oversized breast feeding floppy boob attire. America looked really great and slim, the draping was extremely flattering on her, unfortunately the color and the waist band made it very prommy.
UPDATE: Congrats to Meredith! This is indeed Halle Berry!
Being pregnant has not stopped this glamour girl from shopping around town. I can't wait to see what her baby looks like, the father of the baby is one of the hottest male models ever and she is one of the most gorgeous actresses- do you know who she is?

Our tech nerdie, aka Kelly's husband, is useful beyond words. In addition to keeping us online and in business by keeping up with all of our technical work, he also scans the web for articles that would be of interest to us. This is one of the articles he sent me last month which I think every Beauty Snob should read! I eat most of the items on the list but am now more diligent about all of it. I believe in eating only fresh foods (I do not even own a can opener and am planning to rid of my microwave!) and have raised my soon to be three year old son to love spinach and broccoli. With so many of our friends diagnosed with cancer I feel like the least we can do is control what we put in our bodies. Being youthful and beautiful is just a small perk to the health benefits you'll receive.
