Kanebo Creates Treatment Makeup as seen in "The Spirit"

| 2 Comments

sensai.jpgI 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!

Beauty Snob of the week: Jennifer Aniston

| 3 Comments
04v.jpg

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:

Tempting Chocolate from Givenchy for Holiday 2008

| 5 Comments

As if Halloween left overs aren't enough, we now crave the tempting chocolate from Givenchy.  This 9 color eyeshadow prismissime offer shades that are flattering for almost all skin color.  I just hope I'm not tempted to take a bite.  Remember those bubble gum flavored lip smacker gloss sticks?  Yup, took a few bites when I was 10 and ended up with beeswax stuck in the back of my teeth.  This is the problem when make up looks or smells good enough to eat!  Givenchy Prismissime Eyes 9-Colors Eyeshadow - Holiday 2008 Tempting Chocolate- $53

Have you ever given in to temptation?

Interview with Heidi Klum, Very Sexy Collection

| 1 Comment

heidi_1_watermark.jpg

verysexy_shadow.jpgHeidi Klum was at The Grove yesterday to promote her new make up collection, Very Sexy, for Victoria's Secret. I was lucky enough to have been able to get an interview with her before she began the personal appearance event. She is as sweet and beautiful as you imagine her to be. And super tall. I took a picture with her and it was quite ridiculous, I am 5'6" but look 4 feet tall! Well, I was wearing flats and she had these impossibly high platforms on. In case you're wondering, she is wearing a dress by past Project Runway contestant, Rami Kashou. She says you can tell it is his design because of his signature sweet hear neck line. Hmm, I thought his signature was "draping". Anyway, it looks great with her wings!

She was at the Women's Conference, which I attended, so I asked her about that. She was moved by Maria Shriver's speech, like everyone else, she cried when Maria talked about getting in bed with her sick mother. She talked about how Maria feels like she always has to be strong, she is the rock for everyone in her life and Heidi identifies with that, she says that she is the same way, "It is a German thing", then added, "But the day was about empowerment and kicking butt!". At the conference, she was on the panel about being an entrepreneur so I asked whether her looks has helped or hurt her in business. I felt it was topical because it was something that was discussed at the conference. She began by saying that it hasn't hurt or helped her but then paused and said, "Well, it certainly hasn't made it any easier. I have to fight the battle that being good looking means you're stupid. But of course my looks has brought me all the things like Victoria's Secret, Sports Illustrated and being on TV as a host". It would truly be the dawn of a new era when someone who looks like Heidi is the Secretary of State or President! I was going to ask her what she does to look so good after 3 kids but I already know the answer. The answer is "nothing". People like Heidi are given the gift of just looking that way, plain and simple.

Senna Cosmetics "The Glamour Envelope"

| 25 Comments
Senna_Envelope.jpg
I just got this all inclusive palette and can now retire my entire drawer full of make up.  Ok, maybe not the entire drawer but at least my life has been simplified quite a bit.  My normal routine is to search for all the little compacts and round Mac shadows that I want to use, spread it all over my counter which make a giant mess.  The convenience of a huge palette is obvious but that is not the best part of this.  It is the quality of the shadows!  Senna is the Hollywood insiders secret to saturated pigment and long wear.  The colors go on true because there is such a high concentration of the actual pigment, not fluff or plain talc here.  See that teal?  That is exactly what it looks like on, you can make it totally solid and dramatic.  At the end of the day, you look as fresh as when you first applied.  That is why Hollywood make up artists use this line.  Ugly Betty and Heroes use them exclusively.  I love to play with all the different looks that can be achieved, it actually comes with a guide for 6 looks including "Nude" a natural look great for daytime; "Innocence," a fresh and vibrant look; and "Night Queen," sultry and dramatic - perfect for a night out.  It also comes with their totally amazing Sun & Sand Bronzing Duo, it not only is the most natural bronzer I've used, the darker shade is perfect for contouring with completely seamless and natural results.  The Shimmering Face Powder is the greatest secret tool as a highlighter.  I use it right under my eyes to create depth and brightness as well as contrast against my cheekbones.  It makes the biggest difference with such a subtle look.  This magnetic closure envelope is $99 at Senna Cosmetics.

Bobbi Brown Holiday Collection

| 6 Comments
bobbiholiday.jpgbobbiholiday2.jpgbobbiholiday3.jpg
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!
