Red Carpet Beauty: How To – Lea Michele at the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards…

August 30, 2010 · View Comments 

Mark Townsend knocked it out of the park with his look created for Lea Michele Emmy nominee for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her breakout role in “Glee.” I had a chance to speak to Mark about the look he created for her and he was very forthcoming, saying that this was the, “happiest emmys of his whole career” and that the looks he created weren’t, “overstyled, or overdone and that the ladies looked comfortable and like themselves”.  I couldn’t agree more! For Lea Michelle, he used some custom made hair pieces (from garlanddrake.com) that... [Read the full story]

August 17, 2010 · View Comments 

I love hearing about skincare lines for teens that are  natural!  I found this little inexpensive skincare line based in California called L.A. Girlfriend, which is essentially an all natural non-drying, gentle yet effective skin care line.  It is developed specifically for teens and tweens with different skin types.  If your teen is unsure of their skin type – L.A. Girlfriend breaks it down for you with this handy guide.  Skincare is an all important routine to establish early on, you may remember that I suggested a few years back that if your child wants to start wearing makeup it’s... [Read the full story]

Life Changer: Exceptionnel de Chanel Intense Volume and Curl Mascara…

Next to a picture of my guru Paramahansa Yogananda on my altar of worship sits the Chanel logo.

If you read this site regularly then you know of my NARS obsession.  Well add one more to that ever growing list because the geniuses have struck again.  The reason that I like NARS glosses so much is the texture, not too heavy or sticky but just the rigth amount of shine and wear.  Sephora has this exclusive which...
