OK, truth be told
Jessica Szohr's character Vanessa on
Gossip Girl is tied with Jenny as my least favorite. Don't like their style, don't like their fashion sense, don't like their plot lines...you get the idea:) About two weeks however I was out at an event my friend Cristina helped put on at Christie's when a friend said there was a surprise party going on that we should all go to afterward. He goes "you know Ed, Jessica...they'll all be there." Little did I know that when he said Ed and Jessica he meant
Ed Westwick and
Jessica Szohr. So there, in the hidden backroom at Kabin in NYC I came face to face with both of them. They both seemed wonderfully friendly and laid back (so weird to hear Ed speak with his English accent..I'm used to the Chuck voice!). I was surprised at how great Jessica looked in person though. She had very defined arms and a natural look (I'm sure she was, but it didn't look like she was wearing makeup). With her in mind and a picture in hand, Pauline Youngblood Soli founder of
Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics gave us some tips on how to lighten up our summer look. Read her tips after the jump!

Bah! I'll tell you the real secret to great skin.
Cream cheese. Rub it all over your skin and sit outside in the rain. You'll thank me when you're done.
