My Feature in Denver’s Reign Magazine

September 11, 2013 by carissa Leave a Comment

On stands now is the fall issue of Reign, Denver’s it-mag for all things fashionable and fun around town. They were lovely enough to feature me in ‘Bag Ladies’ showing what exactly I keep in my purse. You’ll see that the makeup I carry with me is pretty well edited down to the basics these days. Click HERE to read the mag online or check it out in print- here in Denver you’ll find it at King Soopers, Barnes & Noble, Tattered Cover, and Target stores.

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 carissa 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.
