Gwen Stefani is the newest face of L’Oreal Paris!

So I don’t have to remind you…if you read my blog, you know about my Gwen Stefani obsession.  Well, the queen of red lipstick has just been announced as the newest face of L’Oreal Paris and more specifically, the face of the brand’s new Infallible Le Rouge long-wear lip color.  SO gorgeous. 

“I can’t believe I get to be one of the L’Oreal Paris girls,” Stefani told People.com.  Gwennie is joining the ranks of other Hollywood A-listers like Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce and Eva Longoria, who all also serve as faces of L’Oreal.  “To get to work with such a modern, talented group of people is really exciting.  I’m a lucky girl,” says Stefani.  Lucky indeed, Gwen.  Lucky, indeed.

The first commercial featuring Gwen will air during the Golden Globes this Sunday so stay tuned.

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…

Obsessed: Stila’s The Makeup Player

So pretty much everything I write about on this blog is a product that I’m obsessed with; however, every once in awhile there’s something super cool that I guess you could say I’m super(?) obsessed with?  The latest is Stila’s The Makeup Player.

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m soooo not a morning person and a few weeks ago I had the brilliant idea that maybe some music in the morning might help me wake up a bit while I’m getting ready.  Alas, my iTunes is pretty flaky and sometimes decides that it’s not going to work, which then adds to my already bad morning mood.  Great.  With the invention of The Makeup Player, I actually don’t even have to involve iTunes (so take that) and all I need is my iPhone (or iPod), I plug it into The Makeup Player and boom, music.  It’s also right THERE where I need it since it’s actually a makeup case and my makeup is in my “getting ready” area.

Here’s the kicker- it’s actually a STEAL of a price.  I had no idea how much it retailed for when I got this little dream (FTC: I received this product from Stila’s Pro Makeup Artist, Sarah Lucero) but after checking it out on Stila’s site, I saw that it’s actually a “free” gift with purchase!  There are a few options as far as what products you get, but in my opinion, the $70 “create your own kit” is the best choice.  You just need to purchase $70 worth of Stila’s products and then enter the code MUPLAYER at check out.  Boom, you get a free makeup case/music player.  Plus, how easy is it to spend $70 on Stila’s amazing products?  I’m also currently obsessing over their “Kitten” eyeshadow and “Bronze Babe” bronzing cream.  Stay tuned for more reviews.

MAC Fabulous Felines Collection

So fall has always been my absolute favorite season for fashion but now I’m starting to really take notice of the amazing makeup that launches in fall, to go with all the fantastic fashion.  I attended a MAC Cosmetics preview a few weeks back at the MAC store on Robertson Blvd. where I was introduced to what might just be my lastest obsession- the Fabulous Felines Collection.  Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a total cat lady.  I love dogs too, don’t get me wrong, but I’ve been obsessed with leopard print since I was four years old, no joke.  Plus, anyone who has met my 15-year-old little kitty, Angel, could understand my obsession with the species.

Fabulous Felines has three collections within itself: Palace Pedigreed, Burmese Beauty and Leopard Luxe.  All gorgeous.  MEOW.

Giveaway! Win a set of mark products!

So you’ve probably read my previous posts one one of my favorite brands, mark, and now I have a fun giveaway with two of their newest products- the Glowdacious Illuminating Powder and Gloss Gorgeous Stay On Lip Stain.  Two essentials in my makeup bag – bronzer and lip stain.  What I love about the Glowdacious Powder is that it actually combines bronzer and highlighter in one so it’s a bronzer but on a not-overbearing way.  As for the Gloss Gorgeous Stain, which also happens to be a winner of one of Redbook’s “MVP Awards,” I love the shade “Prettied Up”…which is perfect for my light skin tone.  It glides on smooth and actually stay on, unlike other lip stains.  Plus, who doesn’t love a beauty product in a pen?

Win a set!  I’m giving away FIVE sets for my readers…simply comment on this post and tell me why you want to win by Wednesday, August 25th.
