I was so excited to read in WWD that Kanebo is gearing-up to launch Sensai Colours, a new treatment makeup line consisting of 22 eye, lip and cheek items with formulas that draw on water and silk to address moisturization and impart a silk-like glow! Sensai Colours lip items consist of two ranges: Lasting Treatment Rouge and Deep Moist Shine Rouge. Lasting Treatment is offered in 18 shades and is formulated to provide long-staying, vivid color with pigments coated with kanten, a jellylike substance obtained from red seaweed and often used as a thickener in Japanese food. The Deep Moist Shine items aim to moisturize lips with a translucent film of color with Phyto Volumising Oil. It is available in 12 shades. There will also be a silky lip gloss in two shades, a lip base with SPF 15, three eye shadow palettes each with four shadow choices, five cheek blush, two eyebrow pencils, two liquid eyeliners, two eyeliner pencils, six lip liner pencils, and a fragrance-free gentle makeup remover. After the jump see photos of Scarlett Johansson in the upcoming film, The Spirit, where she's decked-out in Kanebo!

One of my all time favorite celebs is Jennifer Aniston. She has amazing skin and a body to die for (if you must know, I always tell my trainer Lara to "Make my body rock like Jennifer Aniston!). Jen works hard for that body (with a mix of yoga, pilates and running) and despite turmoil in her personal life, she's always carried herself with grace and dignity. She's Vogue's cover girl this month and we found the products that Gucci Westman used on her for that carefree California girl glow.  Have to say I am not crazy about the photo they chose for the cover (red dress upper right).  I prefer the more casual one below right (in shorts sitting with knee up- tres sexy!).  To get Jen's beach chic look:

I have found the best liquid liner, I am serious, this is it. I've used Chanel and Shu Uemura, both work well but I have a problem with their floppy brush, it makes it hard to get a perfect line and I have to be really careful because if I push too hard the line becomes too thick. This liner from Hourglass has a felt tip so it is very firm, it is like a Sharpie but very pointy. I can swish the pen back and forth in a hurry to get a perfectly tight line right above my lash line. It goes on completely opaque, there is nothing watery or runny about this. It is also great for fixing gaps when using fake eyelashes. I got this at Barneys and they ran out of black, which was a blessing in disguise - my very helpful sales associate convinced me to get the Indigo and I thought it would be too blue but instead, it is the distinct line I want without the harshness. Throw away everything you have and go out and get this!! I would not recommend the Cognac, it is too metallic and oddly too similar to skin tone (well, at least mine). These are going to be my stocking stuffers this Christmas, but that means these will always be out of stock now that I'm turning everyone on to this. At Barneys for $32.

I like to use a silver eye liner at the corners of my eyes to make them look sparkly but every time I sharpen it, it crumbles and/or bits and pieces of liner end up in my eyes which always freaks me out. My solution is to put it in the freezer for 15 minutes PRIOR to sharpening which gives it a perfect point without crumbling!!!

This works with both lip liners and eye liners. Keeping your liners sharp will also ensure you don't make messy mistakes! Try Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil 1999 in a shade that flatters your skin tone and eye color. It's a quick and easy way to create a glamorous evening look!

I am going to Bobbi Brown's studio in SoHo to interview Bobbi and have my make up done tomorrow morning.  Needless to say I am beyond excited; I've been obsessed with Bobbi since college and am so looking forward to meeting her!  In addition to preparing questions for the Make Up Guru, I've been testing out her new products in order to discuss them with her.  I just got three things from the limited edition Holiday collection (shown above).  My favorite is the "Night Sky" longwear eye palette compact with two gel liners and two shadows, each has a cap so it stays mess free.  I hate when wet liners smudge on the compact mirror.  I also got the lip gloss trio shades ranging from beige, bronze to sparkling pink- yummy!  The double decker lip and eye palette are flattering on any skintone and is perfect for traveling (yes, I am taking it to New York with me today though there is a hurricane and hail so I don't know when I'll get there) and touch ups inflight. These limited edition items are fabulous stocking stuffers- there is something for everyone on my gift-giving list from the "Multi-Taskers" to the "Glamour Girls." (I am not giving any names so my girlfriends can be surprised when they receive theirs!) Check out the entire Holiday collection on Bobbi Brown.com-- they won't last long so order asap!

I thought it would be fun to let our readers ask Bobbi a few questions-- so if you have any questions for Bobbi Brown please leave them in comments!
