JESSICA Nail Colour in Coquette

Although I'm not the coquette-type, this polish color is my new obsession.

I am all about gray, except in my hair.

Can't wait to put it on, although am enjoying just looking at the picture...

JESSICA always makes a fabulous product!

Klorane Eye MakeUp remover

Klorane makes a great, hard-working-yet-gentle eye makeup remover.

It didn't burn my eyes, but it got off all the goo I could pile on*-- I like to really test these things!

Some Klorane products are available through stateside vendors, but it has been hard to find... Now this wonderful (tres French) remover is available at Walgreens!

Go to your neighborhood Walgreens & buy. Thank me later.

*Goo= Waterproof mascara, eye shadows, pencil liner.

Julie Bowen stops sag at the SAG awards!

Love her look and Modern Family!!!

Standing out from the crowd of celebs donning their finest floor-grazing gowns at the 17th Annual SAG Awards on January 30th was Julie Bowen who opted for a non-traditional black jumpsuit by Catherine Malandrino featuring a plunging neckline and low back. You too can dare to bare with confidence by using some of Julie’s favorite products from Mama Mio:

Boob Tube Bust & Neck Firmer ($45)

This crinkle-fighting formula promotes firmer, fitter, glowing, dewy, youthful skin from the neck down, a must when preparing for a plunging neckline like Julie’s. CoQ10 helps defy gravity while Omega 3, 6 and 9 keep your neck and décolleté looking firm and plump. Milk Thistle, Evening Primrose Oil and Sweet Almond Oil maintain moisture for healthy, brilliant skin.

O-Mega Wonder-Full Balm ($26)

Julie didn’t let the weary winter weather wreak havoc on her red-carpet ready skin and neither should you. By using the super hydrating Wonder-Full Balm on lips, cuticles, elbows, hands and feet – you too can ensure smooth skin for even the closest of camera shots. Featuring replenishing oils like Sweet Almond, Evening Primrose, Meadowfoam and Gold of Pleasure that drench skin in omegas, the solid balm melts on contact to provide rich, intense, healing moisture wherever you need it.

All Mama Mio products can be purchased on www.mamamio.com.

Lippmann Collection Nail Polish

If you're looking for luxurious, quick drying, icky-chemical-free nail color, Lippmann Collection is for you! This polish dries evenly and quickly and comes in a wider than wide variety of gorgeous hues. My fave at the moment is Nefertiti-a shimmery, subdued metallic gold, with a hint of sparkle. Dress your digits up with this deliciousness for an instant ego boost!!

Sula Paint and Peel Nail Color

The Dove color is fabulous and very of the moment. I was geeked to open it and find out it didn't smell horrible either. I did 3 coats and then the top coat. I waited for about 7 minutes to do much of anything with my hands. Alas I reached for something and a few of my nails smudged and peeled instantly. The packaging said the color should last about 2 days. I'm disappointed but will admit that peeling the polish off was sort of wonderful.

Napoleon, Perdis~Chandelier Shine, Nail Polish & Lipgloss set

What a great gift idea!! 

If you had asked me yesterday what three items I would take to a deserted island I would have said:

1. My hot husband

2. My yoga mat

3. Nail Polish

But today, now that I know that this Nail Polish & Lip Gloss set exists, I would like to change #3 to the Napoleon Perdis Chandelier set in Cupi Doll! This shade is a cute, soft, bubblegum pink color in both products. The nail polish sets beautifully in two easy coats and the lip gloss paints on easy and slick. 

It is such a relief to know that if I'm ever deserted on an island with my hubby 

that my nails AND lips will be lookin' fine!!

BOOMing Brows: Spring/Summer 2011 Brows are Big and Bold

January, 2011 (New York, NY) – Spring/Summer 2011 brows are big and bold – those who couldn’t pull it off last season, now have a chance! Boom Boom, owner of Boom Boom Brow Bar, offers tips for BOOMing, bold brows. YES, YES, YES!

“Big bold brows are always my fav – loved that Vera Wang used them in her spring show and I love seeing the smart cookies like Katy Perry, Natalie Portman and Lea Michele going bold,” explains Boom Boom who hinges the fate of big bold brows on four factors: color, length, width and arch.

Color: Go a little bolder (but not too dark, cookie) – tinting is a great option (match color to skin and hair undertones) and using a brow powder on a daily basis is great for adding definition and boldness. Try Boom Boom Brow Boostiers brow powders ($18.00 per jar: each comes with a brush. Colors: Aretha, Tina, Bette and Dolly).

Length: The space between brows should be equal to or a little wider than eyes. Take a long eye shadow brush or pencil and hold it parallel to the side of the nose. Where the brush meets the brow is where brows should begin. Extend the brush diagonally from nostril, following the outside edge of the eye toward the brow, where the inside edge of the brush hits is where brow should end.

Width: Work with natural width, just clean up strays along the top and bottom. If the damage has already been done and brows are too thin, apply castor oil to brows every night to help speed up the growth process - it’s one of the active ingredients in most brow and lash products. A brow gel can also help set and hold brows to make them look fuller. Try Boom Boom Brow-ssiere brow gel ($14.00).

Arch: Hold a brush parallel to the outside edge of the colored part of the eye (the iris). Where the brush meets the brow is where the highest part of the brow should be. To define the arch, use Boom Boom Push-Up brow highlighting pencil’s ($16.00) matte concealer side on the brow bone to create the illusion of lift.
