Three Questions With Beth Behrs

I had so much fun at the L’Oréal Golden Globes party, hosted by their makeup artist Billy B and Beth Behrs from 2 Broke Girls, that I obviously had to ask her to be featured in my 3 Questions With section.  If you’re not already watching 2 Broke Girls, you SHOULD BE.  The show is absolutely hilarious, and so is Beth.  Here are her words of wisdom:

Q: If you could give your 22-year-old self any advice, what would it be?  

A: Always stay true to who you are.

Q. What’s the deal with Caroline’s signature pearl necklace?  Did you have any say in the decision to go with that particular necklace?  

A: Nope! (It) was all the brilliance of our costume designer, Traycee! Now I feel naked without it! 

Q. What are your top three L’Oréal products and why?  

A: Any of their lip glosses, mineral concealer, mineral foundation – because you can throw all three on and have a natural looking glow and it takes less than 2 minutes to accomplish!

So Good It Should Be Framed: Murad Rejuvenating Lift for Neck and Décolleté

I’m always on the lookout for the next best thing when it comes to neck creams, aka anything that will prevent me from getting the dreaded turkey neck.  Basically, the Murad Rejuvenating Lift for Neck and Décolleté is all kinds of awesome.  Now, I’m always skeptical when a product claims to work “in just one use!” cause let’s be real, but after reading all of the rave reviews on Murad’s website, I was really intrigued and had to try it out, duh.  The patented formula is designed to firm, even tone and smooth skin texture by diminishing sagging skin and wrinkles associated with the effects of hormonal aging on the neck and décolleté.  Like I said, I try lots of neck creams and this one is definitely going to be put into my rotating skincare regimen for awhile…

Golden Globes Viewing Party


My girl Kelly is infamous for throwing the best theme parties…so good, in fact, that I can’t even describe them in an accurate words.  And yes, I AM wearing my maid of honor dress from my BFF Dawn’s wedding in August 2011; I paid $400 for this thing, so I might as well get some use out of it! Don’t judge me.  I picked it out and it’s PRETTY, minus the white wine stains.

But back to the Globes viewing party…we sipped on SkinnyGirl cocktails and watched the show.  Of course, my girl Kristen and I made numerous jokes, the room was shocked/weirded out with Jodie’s speech, and, of course, I secretly envisioned a “thank you” from Ben Affleck during his acceptance speeches.  All in all, it was a fab night, as expected.  Kelly is truly a master of theme parties!

Turning heads with Joico Hair Care at a Pre Golden Globe Beauty Bar

Again, I will never turn down a blow out, especially from a brand like Joico.  The Golden Globes, and really ALL of the award shows, means that I will be getting pampered for pretty much the whole weekend…sorry, I don’t mean to brag, but you guys, I live for a good blow out.  Here’s the gossip:

  • Ashley Tisdale chatted with salon stylists about hot boys on Instagram 
  • Shenae Grimes admired her fiancé, played the Joico pinwheel and chatted about how she’s still obsessed with her engagement ring
  • Krysten Ritter looked poised and turned heads while getting her hair styled at Colgate’s Beauty bar with Joico’s Power Spray (which I LOVE)

Golden Globes: L’Oréal Paris’ Colour Riche Lipstick Turns 21 (and a giveaway!)

You know how I love me some awards season and, to kick it off, let’s start with The Golden Globes.  My first event of the weekend was a 21st birthday party, funny enough, for L’Oréal Paris’ Colour Riche Lipstick!  The iconic product is finally old enough to party with me and, to make it even more interesting, the party was hosted by two awesome people: L’Oréal Paris Makeup Artist Billy B. and actress Beth Behrs from one of my favorite shows, 2 Broke Girls.

Now, on to the good stuff: in honor of Colour Riche’s 21st, I’m giving away 21, yes, TWENTY ONE, lipsticks to 21 winners at random.  And, cause it gets better, I’m also giving away one of the CC Skye rose gold bracelets (pictured below) to one lucky winner at random!  All you have to do is follow me on Twitter and tweet me why you want a lipstick and/or the bracelet!  I’ll pick winners next Tuesday, January 22nd at 3pm PST.  Good luck and happy 21st birthday to Colour Riche! xo
