Tennessee Valley Beach on Thanksgiving

We got the chance to get away for Thanksgiving this year and visit my best friend and his family out in the bay area. It was perfect; no stress, easygoing, and a gorgeous Thanksgiving afternoon hike where Harper saw the ocean for the first time at Tennessee Valley Beach.

Getting there was tricky because it’s a few miles in from where you park. At first it&#… Read More…

Murad Age-Diffusing Firming Mask

There was a time when I would love a good Friday night of beauty. Do my nails, maybe a hair treatment and a face mask topped off with some 20/20 and it was the perfect night. Pretty crazy, I know. It’s not like I don’t do these things post-baby, it’s just that they’re more spread out so they don’t take up big chunks of time that are ha… Read More…

The New Stila

Stila Cosmetics has been saved! I’m so glad that Lynn Tilton, a private equity maven with 75 companies in her portfolio, is the new CEO of one of my best loved lines. Her new vision will bring Stila to the next level and right into the hands of women who haven’t yet tried the line for themselves. Look for infomercials that will include Sarah Lucero, … Read More…

Osmotics, Seriously Advanced Skincare; Q&A With Their Founder Francine Porter

My first ‘wow’ moment using skin care came years ago when I first tried Osmotics. A colleague at Nordstrom who worked for the line had given me a sample of their Blue Copper cream (a best seller to this day) because my skin was starting to see the early consequences of the tanning, poor eating, and even cigarette smoking I did back in the day. Within w… Read More…

Atopalm Daytime Undermakeup Moisture Cream

If Atopalm is good enough for the seasoned Makeup Artists who I saw using the stuff on model’s parched, overworked faces backstage at fashion week, it’s way good enough for you. Don’t take their word for it though, you can also browse the gazillian reviews on sites like Dermstore to see that people go wild for their moisturizers that perfe… Read More…

Kate Winslet; Gorgeous in a monochromatic palette, pink on the eyes, lips, and cheeks come together with a little black liner to deepen the look. Once the skin looks great (natural, not too matte) and the brows are groomed (not too thin!) minimal makeup is all you need.

Update: Lancome just emailed me what they used to create Kate Winslet’s Oscar look.

Celebrity makeup artist Jillian Dempsey wanted to create a classic, natural look. First, she prepped Kate’s skin with Lancôme La Base Pro primer to create a smooth canvas for a polished complexion. She lightly brushed Lancôme Brow Expert in Naturel on the brows to play up their natural shape. Jillian Dempsey for Avon Pro Eyeshadow Trio in Ice Shimmer was applied to the eyes and the lashes were coated with Jillian Dempsey for Avon Pro Mascara in Black. To create a sheer, neutral colored lip, Lancôme Color Fever Lipstick in Old Flame was applied for a soft, matte finish.
