P!NK’s Truth About Love Tour


I’m pretty selective about the concerts that I attend, mostly because there’s nothing worse than sitting through a concert where you hate the band, but when COVERGIRL invited me to see P!NK at Staples Center, I immediately said YES.  I’m not scared to admit that I LOVE P!NK.  She’s just fantastic.  And WHAT a show, seriously (see above photo).  Not only does she have a fabulous voice, but she’s also an amazing performer and pretty much an acrobat.  Direct from COVERGIRL, here’s the step-by-step on how to get the mani that she rocked at the Staples show:


P!NK’s Truth About Love Tour – Manicure Look at L.A. Show 2/16 – By Celebrity Manicurist, Michelle Saunders

While discussing the nail look with P!NK, she knew she wanted to use COVERGIRL Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss in a gold color because the gold really shines on stage. We also decided to keep the nail art simple based on the fact that she is wearing a number of elaborate and colorful costumes and did not want anything to conflict or take away from the wardrobe.

We also like to keep her nails at an active length because of her performances in the show.

For the fun accent nails, I was inspired by the exclamation point in her name and the heart was inspired by The Truth About Love album. 

Here are the step-by-step tips on how to re-create P!NKs COVERGIRL inspired manicure:

1. Use 2 coats of COVERGIRL Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss in Golden Opportunity

2. On ring fingers apply a thin line (exclamation point) down the middle of nail in Black Diamond

3. Add a small heart to bottom of line (exclamation point) instead of a dot to create the final nail look

A truly awesome mailing from COVERGIRL

My new motto.

Done and done.

Halloween costume #1: “the maid” from American Horror Story…minus the red hair. Oops.

Halloween costume #2: Teenage Honey Boo Boo…which really ended up just being “white trash.”

CoverGirl Beauty Bar for the MTV Movie Awards

I’ll never say no to an event lounge…and I’ll especially never say no when the lounge is hosted by one of my favorite brands, like CoverGirl.  The MTV Movie Awards were a slight blip on my radar this year, but not really that important since it’s pretty much guaranteed that the awards will be overtaken by Twilight and Harry Potter (and after watching, I was obviously right) so yeah, I was excited to check out what the CoverGirl Beauty Bar, hosted at NINE ZERO ONE salon in West Hollywood, had to offer.

Luckily, my friend Kelsi was working her social media thing in the HPNOTIQ Harmonie lounge, which just might have been the cutest lounge I’ve ever seen.  Seriously, I’m not even really into the whole girlie girl decor thing but everything was purple and sparkly and there were cupcakes and candy everywhere – as someone on a very strict diet at the moment, I had a very hard time controling myself and yes, I did indulge in this ridiculous oreo cheesecake pop that Kelsi said was “truly amazing.” 

Annnyway, there was also a CoverGirl makeup area (with the fabulous Amy Nadine!), a FakeBake spray tan room and WELLA hair care was there (another personal favorite!) on top of random celeb spottings like Rumer Willis, Karina Smirnoff, Stephanie Pratt, Demi Lovato, and the the cute cheerleader from The Hard Times of RJ Berger!

2011 SAG Awards

Aaaah, the SAG Awards.  They’re always over-shadowed by the Golden Globes but I have to say, I’m way into the dresses above  (Mila Kunis, January Jones, Julia Stiles).  AND, I’m kind of obsessed with Julia Stiles’ makeup (and dress, for that matter).  Here’s how to get the look:

Julia’s look was created by celebrity makeup artist Jake Bailey, who was really inspired by her gorgeous flowing dress for an effortless “rich hippie” look.  “I wanted her skin to be flawless but dewy so I used COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Silk Foundation, buffing it into the skin with a flat-topped brush.  I brushed a bronzer with a hint of shimmer on her cheeks and along the hairline for a natural glow and finished her skin with a shimmery coral blush on the apples of her cheeks.”

Bailey wanted to create a dramatic smoky eye so he lined the inner rim and lashline with COVERGIRL LiquiLineBlast in Black Fire and then smudged it upwards.  He then used COVERGIRL Smoky ShadowBlast in Purple Plume along the lid and up towards the brow bone.  He finished her eyes with dramatic lashes using false lashes and then applying COVERGIRL LashBlast Fusion before applying COVERGIRL Lip Perfection in Smoky and then filled her lips in with COVERGIRL Lip Perfection in Delish.
