Check Out May’s People StyleWatch (…And Not Just Because I’m In It.)

April 25, 2014 by Leave a Comment

Did you catch me in this month’s issue of People StyleWatch magazine?? On Page 151 to be specific. There you’ll find coupons for $2 off Bio True contact lens solution and Not Your Mother’s Beach Babe Hair Texturizing Cream. Beyond that though you’ll see 50 beauty tips including makeup tricks and cute outfit ideas.

Sidebar: I’m obsessed with Bio True and have bought it at Costco for years. Since I started using it, my contacts last over a month so I save huge on lenses.

Gucci Westman: Jennifer Aniston’s Makeup Artist for her Allure Cover Shoot

I was just checking out some behind-the-scene pics from Jennifer Anison’s Allure cover shoot and I saw my favorite Makeup Artist, Gucci Westman touching up Jen’s neutral pout.

On set at the Allure shoot with Jen.
And here she is in a photo I took backstage at NY Fashion Week at the BCBG Max Azria show where she was the lead artist.

We were chatting about her then new role with Revlon while she was working on this probably 16 year old model.

Her kit, lots of Revlon since she’s the brand’s Global Artistic Director.

2 things I noticed about Westman; she had an incredibly calm presence while in the midst total chaos, and she had the most perfect, glowing skin I’d ever seen. It was such a thrill to meet her.

September 9, 2010 by Leave a Comment

You’ve probably noticed the Good Housekeeping seal on various products from cleaning supplies to sunscreen. It has become one of the most sought after nods of approval out there due to its rigorous, unbiased testing.

You’ll find the 26 winning skincare products from their 2010 Anti-Aging Awards HERE along with their overall findings on each one.

Congrats to a few of my favs; Vichy, Fresh, Peter Thomas Roth, Kinerase, and Roc. Also impressive, 13 of the winners are drugstore finds proving what I already knew – a bigger price tag doesn’t always mean better results.
