My Safe Skincare During Pregnancy Segment on Denver’s Everyday Show

carissa

Here’s a look at my segment from this morning’s Everyday show where I brought my person arsenal for keeping skin looking great during pregnancy. Don’t mind the microphone pack in my back pocket, I thought I was going to be on the other side…

Here’s a list of what I brought along with pricing and links out to the products:

For stretch mark prevention and to soothe dry, itchy skin:

Coconut Oil
One Love Organics Skin Savior $68

For acne and oily skin:

Glytone Cleansers $30

Obagi Exfoderm Forte $58

For melasma, acne scarring, and discolorations:

Ole Henriksen Sheer Transformation $45

For wrinkles and fine lines:

Trilogy Organic Rosehip Oil $44

Everything I brought were products I use daily and love (you can tell by the Ole which had finger dips in it) so it’s a great lineup even if you’re not pregnant but just looking for safer, chemical-free alternatives.

Creepy Halloween Makeup Tutorial

I’m both nauseous and intrigued by this Haloween makeup tutorial video for a drippy monster face. If you’re looking to freak everyone the hell out, the artist in the video (she’s actually really talented) will take you step by step showing you how she creates this crazy look. Whether looking this way is in the cards for your Halloween this year or not, it’s pretty mesmerizing and worth checking out.

What Kim Kardashian’s Makeup Artist Uses

I watch this video like a frat boy watches porn (obsessively, minus the yucky sexual stuff). I think I might even have it memorized. I can close my eyes and see it all unfolding: The generous under eye concealer application, his artful powder contour, and the better-than-nude lip color. It’s a virtual symphony hitting all the right notes with women who are dying to know the makeup tricks that Mario Dedivanovic uses all the time on his #1 client, Kim Kardashian.

Let’s watch it again..

 

Seeing the cosmetic line Motives by Loren Ridinger logo everywhere, I couldn’t resist reaching out to ask them what Mario used of theirs to create this look. Within minutes, Loren herself actually responded (at 3am her time!) to give me a heads up that a complete list would follow the next day. And it did.

Here’s what Mario used in the video above from Motives by Loren Ridinger.

· No More Shine Makeup Setting Spray

· Eye Base

· Liquid Eyeliner

· Khol Eyeliner in Angel and Onyx

· Pressed Eye Shadow in Toast

Other things in the video that I spy are Lancôme Mascara (not positive which one, but he used Hypnôse Doll Lashes on Kim for her wedding), he’s holding a Laura Mercier puff the whole time (as to not touch her face directly – a Mercier-trained artist thing to do), EYE M GLAM is swept down the bridge of her nose, cheekbones, and patted on her cupid’s bow (his signature shimmer which I have and love). It’s like a makeup Where’s Waldo, every time I recognize something new.

To see the full listing of what Mario used on Kimmy K for her wedding, click HERE. On this 2 year old tutorial, he used a ton of M.A.C for Kim’s makeup but on the wedding list there’s a lot of L’Oreal and Lancôme in the mix. I’m not saying those aren’t totally acceptable to use, but I might be smelling a whiff of corporate sponsorship so take the list with a grain of salt.

Mariah Carey on HSN (video)

I’ve watched this 4 minute video of Mariah Carey’s recent appearance on HSN (edited by Gawker.com) about 5 times now and it seems to get funnier every time. Included are her rants about how hard pregnancy was (‘literally I was 47 weeks pregnant’), scolding the camera operators, and figuring out what exactly she’s there to do (‘how much are you guys selling these earrings for?’)

It will remind you why when a friend is acting like a diva, you call her Mariah daaahling.
