I had to share THIS VIDEO from a recent segment that I did with the lovely ladies at Clevver News! You can watch my Tuesday Favorites segment about 11 minutes in, where I discuss three of my latest (affordable) beauty product favorites.

1. COVERGIRL Flamed Out Mascara (from their Hunger Games collection!)

2. Neutrogena Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer SPF 30

3. Mitch Stone Essentials Lustre Drops

A Very MAC (Cosmetics) Halloween

I stopped by the MAC Cosmetics PRO store on Robertson Blvd. the other day to chat with Rick Baker and check out his collection for MAC. Now, obviously, MAC is known for being the go-to Halloween makeup brand since they have some truly amazing products that boast rich pigment and long wear, which is why it’s no surprise that I was truly in AWE of the three looks that Rick and MAC came up with for Halloween 2013. By the way, these makeup looks were done with just MAC makeup, no plastics or additional costume products, which is insane! I spoke to Rick, legendary Hollywood makeup artist, about his favorite MAC products to use on set. The answer? “Makeup effects demand very specific products as many ordinary makeup products won’t work on rubber appliances. If I am doing paint makeup, I like to use Chromacakes, Paint Stick and MAC’s acrylic paint. I also like a combination of mixing medium and cosmetic pigments.”

Green With Envy

Green has been, and always will be, my favorite color and when I say I had a childhood obsession with green, I’m not joking around. According to my mother, I ONLY wore the color green (and some shades of teal and blue/greens) for the first four years of my life. I also had a pair of green Nike sneakers that I literally wore until they fell apart. Basically, when I decide I like something, I like REALLY like it…and you’ve gotta respect that quality about anyone.

4. Noir Jewelry Crystal Necklace

5. Express Faceted Button Stud Earrings

Urban Remedy Malibu Daycation

Back in June I hosted a Healthy Happy Hour for Urban Remedy that was such a hit that we decided we needed to do something similar every six weeks or so. Since the Urban Remedy brand is all about treating yourself and your body right, I hosted a small blogger event where we gathered in a circle (in a tepee, duh) and celebrated ourselves. Celebrating yourself is something that’s so easy to forget to do, which is why it was really very enlightening to “circle”, as they call it, with 15 amazing women.
