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.

When I got the email announcing this year’s winners, my heart skipped a beat and I laugh to myself about the fact that I still get excited.  Here are my favorites among the winners and you can check out a full list of winners here.

My top winners:

  • ColorMetrics TouchBack By ColorMark
  • Living Proof Full Thickening Cream
  • CoverGirl Smokey ShadowBlast
  • Clinique Redness Solutions Instant Relief Mineral Powder
  • Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Sunblock Lotion SPF 60+ with PureScreen

Inspired by Vegas poolside

So I’ve had Vegas on the brain lately and once my friend, Nadine Jolie, revealed that she wants to spend her upcoming 30th birthday poolside sipping Vegas cocktails, I’ve been on the prowl for the ultimate Vegas bikini and pool attire.  When it comes to Las Vegas, I believe in the phrase “go hard or go home” so why not go all out and play up the bling?

Frederick’s of Hollywood Limited Edition Rhinestone Rings bikini set – I actually have a similar bikini that doesn’t quite have the same”bling factor.”  This a good cut on me (and most women) and I love the circle details that make it a little different.

Tory Burch Oversized Round Sunglasses with Buckle Details – Very Jackie O.  They’re big to block out the Vegas sun and also hide the bags that will form under my eyes as a result of not sleeping for days at a time.

Kenneth Cole Reaction Cedar Springs wedge – These wedges are fab because they’ll take you from day to night plus they match literally eveything in your closet.
