CoverGirl’s 50th Anniversary Party at Boa

So after living in Hollywood for over a year and a half now, I think I’m starting to become a little jaded by celeb spottings.  That is, until I attended CoverGirl’s 50th Anniversary Party at Boa (after the People’s Choice Awards) the other night and stood in the most celeb-packed room that I’ve ever been in.  Not only were ALL the “CoverGirl’s” in attendance (including Niki Taylor!) but there was also a TON of other celebs like Lauren Conrad (along with her makeup artist, Amy Nadine), Whitney Port, Amber Riley and Cory Monteith from Glee, Selena Gomez, Brittany Snow, Kendra and Hank Baskett, Jesse Williams from Grey’s Anatomy and (gasp) A.C. Slater himself, Mario Lopez.  I mean, come on.  Sam Ronson was DJing on the one’s and two’s (I LOVE saying that) and I couldn’t stop staring at the foundation trees!  Love.  A BIG thank you to CoverGirl for inviting me to this epic party.  This jaded girl got a big wake up call when I read my emails the next morning that said “OMG, I saw your tweets! I can’t believe you went ot the CoverGirl party- it’s ALL over the blogs!”  And there it is, kids…

July Beauty Favorites

So as of late, I’ve been seriously loving these beauty products.  I play favorites, I do, but every other month or so I go through a “omg, I LOOOOVE this” phase and if they’re good enough, they might even make it into the permanant rotation.  I’ll let you guys know how it goes. 😉

Clockwise:

LUSH DaddyO -I’ve been on the hunt for a really good violet shampoo, which are known for keeping blonde shades from turning brassy.  DaddyO is made to help those with blonde OR grey hair to get hair shiny and stop the brass from coming.  Miracle worker.

Urban Decay Pocket Rocket Lip Gloss – I’ve been in love with these since they came out a year or two ago but only recently became obsessed.  With a flick of the wrist, the dudes on top get undressed AND the tube even has phermones…you just need to rub it to release them into the air.  Seriously.

David Yurman Luxurious Bath & Shower Gel – I’ve blogged about this product before and I loved it then…but now I’m officially obsessed.  It’s definitely pricey at $50 but it lasts forever and makes me feel fancy.

COVERGIRL LashBlast Fusion Mascara – All I have to say is VOLUME AND LENGTH.  I’ve been a big fan of all of COVERGIRL’s mascaras but this one really takes the cake.  It’s the perfect blend and has the best qualities from each of their mascaras.

CoverGirl’s LA beauty blogger event!

So last Sunday I had the luxury of getting full-on pampered with friends before the big Lakers vs. Celtics game.  It’s pretty rare to attend a beauty blogger-only event in LA so I was elated when CoverGirl told me they were hosting a soiree before the MTV Video Music Awards at Byron & Tracey in Beverly Hills.  All my LA favorites were in attendance that morning- Sydne from Think thru Fashion, Nadine from Nadine Jolie, Amber from Beauty Junkies Unite, Kristen and Sarah from Total Beauty, etc. and Sydne and I were amped to get glammed up before going to my college friend Scott’s birthday/Lakers party later that day.  While the girls and I sipped mimosas, Rashida Jones from “Parks and Rec” (and Jim’s ex girlfriend on “The Office”) got her makeup done for the MTV awards show.  What did we think about Rashida?  Wow.  Not only was she gorgeous, but she’s also funny and super smart.  It was awesome watching the fabulous Molly R. Stern (CoverGirl’s makeup artist) do Rashida’s makeup and listen to their funny banter.

Check out some pics from the event!

CEW Beauty Awards 2010

So back in my Johnson & Johnson Beauty PR days, I was lucky enough to actually attend the Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) Beauty Awards which, if you don’t know, is to beauty industry what the Oscars are to acting.  They’re always hosted by the hilariously funny Mario Cantone (Anthony from Sex & The City) and have many celeb guests- this year Kim Kardashian, Whitney Port and Estelle presented at the event so needless to say, I’m sure it was a great one.

2010 Golden Globes Get the Look: Jane Krakowski (aka my twin)

67th Annual Golden Globe Awards - Press Room

So I would say that people tell me how much I look like 30 Rock’s Jane Krakowski oh about maybe four times a month and I really do love her makeup from last night’s 2010 Golden Globes.  Here’s how to get the look from her makeup artist, Rebecca Restrepo:

“The overall inspiration was old hollywood with a modern twist. She wanted a chic and modern beauty look to match the look of her dress. I started by prepping the skin with a light moisturizer, then lightly applied COVERGIRL Simply Ageless concealer under the eyes using my ring finger followed by COVERGIRL Simply Ageless Foundation all over the skin with a wet sponge. I then applied COVERGIRL Simply Ageless Blush in Plush Peach with my fingers to the apples of her cheeks for a healthy glow and defined cheekbones. To finish the face, I lightly dusted COVERGIRL Microminerals FInishing Veil to set the look and create a soft shimmer look.

On her eyes, I used COVERGIRL Eye Enhancers 4-kit in Sheerly Nudes, applying the taupe shade all over the lid and along the lash line to the crease. I then added a touch of the lightest cream shade to the inner corner of the eye for a subtle pop. To add a bit of definition, I applied a gray matte shadow to the crease. For added drama, I lined her eyes with COVERGIRL Line Exact in black. To finish the eyes, I applied two coats of COVERGIRL LashBlast Volume followed by two coats of COVERGIRL LashBlast Length for dramatic, long lashes.

On her lips I applied a shear coat of COVERGIRL Lipstain in Teasing Blush followed by COVERGIRL Amazemint Lip Gloss in No Care Bare to soften the lip color and add just a hint of shine. “
