Gjelina Refuses Posh (and me)

Remember this post about our hours-long wait for pizza at Venice Beach’s hot spot Gjelina? Looks like their strict no substitutions policy applies to the rich and famous as well. Gordon Ramsay and Victoria Beckham’s recent meal there ended with his outrage for the restaurant’s flat refusal to put Posh’s salad dressing on the side. Check out the L.A Times’ piece HERE.

Looks like we weren’t the only ones receiving icy treatment from their staff. Next time, hold the dressing and the rigid self-serving policy. None of us are amused.

Did Kate Middleton Do Her Own Makeup For the Royal Wedding?

She sure did and Vogue has the skinny on Kate Middleton’s DIY wedding makeup. After a few private lessons from wedding Makeup Artist Arabella Preston (see her blog HERE), she felt confident enough to apply a look that would be seen by roughly 3 BILLION people. No pressure.

Breathtaking. I can’t imagine anyone else doing a better job.

Dr. Harold Lancer, 20 Years Younger, and Oprah

Dr. Harold Lancer is celebrating tonight. He’s the dermatologist to the stars who also happens to be Oprah’s go-to guy to keep her skin looking pristine (seriously, her skin is perfect.) He teamed up with Bob Greene on a program called 20 Years Younger, a 2 month life-changing kickstart for 20 lucky women who wanted to get their health back on track. Dr. Lancer turned back the clock on the women’s skin returning it to a much younger state using treatments like microdermabrasion, lasers, Botox, and of course his skincare line. The ladies looked a lot better, and Lady O raved about how radiant her skin looked since using Dr. Lancer’s regimen so she vouched for his line’s efficacy. Well, that was enough for me to pause my TiVo and obsess over which of his products I can’t live without for the past hour and a half.

His home site is under construction so HERE is where you’ll find his offerings on the 20 Years Younger site. I can’t figure out what would work best for my skin type since it isn’t laid out or explained in an organized way so I’m a little hesitant to pull the trigger.

If there is one product that looks to be universal, it’s Nourish, a day and nighttime treatment that’s supposed to restore the overall look of the skin and visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

 

It’s also at Nordstrom so seeing a counter rep about what my skin needs might be a safer bet. Nordys opens at 10 right??

Celebrity Makeup Artist Jake Bailey Dishes on Katy Perry’s Makeup

If you want to know what makeup Katy Perry wears, click HERE and get the low down on what celebrity makeup artist Jake Bailey uses to create her signature look. It leaves me wanting that Vichy Dermablend foundation! I wonder how different it is from the original Dermablend foundation that’s so popular? You can check that out HERE. It’s getting some rave reviews!

Purr by Katy Perry Appearance (Photos)

I can’t get enough of these close-up images of Katy Perry from her March 11th appearance at the Douglas flagship store in Cologne, Germany for her new fragrance Purr. I’m a big fan of her makeup which is usually a straight glamour look  with a twist – this time being a bright fuchsia lip. Although she is a fan of full coverage foundation, if you enlarge the top pic you can see how flawless her skin is under there. Looks like the Proactiv is working!

She doesn’t look as… um, busty as she usually does.

Can I have that desk when you’re through using it? I have a purple obsession.
