Beautiful Things My Mother Taught Me


Mom and me, circa 1979 Disclosure: This post is sponsored by CoverGirl. Mother’s Day is this Sunday and I’m so excited. Not just because Mr. Spoiled Pretty and my son, Westley, are treating me to a decadent brunch. But because it’s an opportunity to celebrate my hero, Andrea Stamps. I must admit that until two years ago, Mother’s Day was just another CONTINUE READING

Bath & Body Works 3-Wick Candles: 2 for $22


At Christmastime, I agonized over what to get my son's daycare teachers. There are 12 of them - and even though he has his two main teachers, they all have interaction with him and take excellent care of him. So I needed to buy 12 gifts to show my appreciation, without breaking the bank. $10 each seemed doable, except CONTINUE READING

IMAN Skin Tone Evener BB Creme SPF 15


As a beauty expert, I’m embarrassed by how late I am to the BB Cream party. In the past year, so many friends and colleagues have asked me about BB Creams—what’s the buzz, which brands are the best, etc. —and they would look at me funny when I admitted to not having tried BB Creams yet. I mean, they CONTINUE READING

CoverGirl Outlast Brilliant Shine Nail Gloss in Vio-last


I’m very fickle about my fingernails. Before I paint my nails or get them professionally did, I spend a inordinate amount of time pondering my polish options. I consider the season, recent trends, my wardrobe that week and anywhere special I might go. But despite all of this planning, I’m usually over my polish choice before it even dries. Not CONTINUE READING

My New Arm Candy: Rebecca Minkoff Swing Bag


After beauty products, handbags are my secondary addiction. But when it comes to arm candy, I have discriminating taste. For me, the perfect handbag seamlessly marries fashion with function, is handcrafted from high-quality materials, has really unique hardware and is classic but edgy - all at the same time. I don't like to carry the of-the-moment "it" bag. I CONTINUE READING

Fabulosity (n): a state of everything that is fabulous.

fab Fabulosity
Kimora Lee Simmons, entrepreneur extraordinaire, has turned her catchphrase into her newest money maker. Fabulosity – her third fragrance – is a fruity Oriental mix of Forbidden Fruit, Orange Blossom, Tiger Lily, Coconut Milk, Damask Black Plum, Chinese Osmanthus, White Patchouli, Tasmanian Honey, Amber, and Vanilla Absolute.

Damn, Kimora!

“Yes, I’m over the top, and yes, I’m unapologetic, and yes, I have really big diamonds, but I have an equally big heart and an equally big spirit,” she says.

I’m a sucker for pretty packaging, so it’s no wonder that I’m obsessed with the diamond-shaped bottle – which, if it were real, would equate to 3,000 carats.

The Fabulosity collection includes:
1.7oz Eau de Parfum, $45
3.4 oz Eau de Parfum, $55,
6 oz. Body Soufflé, $30
5.2 oz. Bath Diamonds (bath salts), $30

Available now at Macys.

traver kimk richie Speaking Of Heatherette
I was just perusing People.com and came across this photo of the duo behind Heatherette. Richie is stylin’ and Traver is profilin’.

And here’s something you don’t see too often – Kim Kardashian without a heavy-handed application of eyeliner. Richie’s got on more makeup than Kim. I’m really liking her lighter look – that nude lipcolor is the perfect shade for her skin.

Gwynnie’s New Do

gwyneth Gwynnie’s New Do
Yesterday, Gwyneth Paltrow showed off a shorter do at the Prince’s Trust Celebrate Success Awards in London. I don’t know about you, but I’m digging Gwynnie’s new look. The long/stick straight/middle part look was getting a little tired. I think this style softens her up a bit. In fact, it’s a little Cate Blanchett-esque.

What do you think of Mrs. Martin’s new do?

vfair Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue 2008
I know I’m a little late with this, but have you seen the March 2008 issue of Vanity Fair? This year’s Hollywood Issue features Tinseltown’s “Fresh Faces:” Emily Blunt, Amy Adams, Jessica Biel, Anne Hathaway, Alice Braga, Ellen Page, Zoë Saldana, Elizabeth Banks, Ginnifer Goodwin, and America Ferrera.

To be fair, all of them look fierce. And how could you not, with Annie Leibovitz’ camera fixed on you? But I have to say that Emily is looking flawless. And it’s also nice to see Ellen Page dressed up in something other than a basic black dress.

lilo dirtyface Hey There, Agent Orange...Try Some Cool Blush
One bronzer does not fit all. Case in point – Lindsay “Dirty Face” Lohan. Every time I open up my gossip mags, there she is in all her Tang tan glory. Part of me thinks that it’s hilarious. But the more sympathetic part really wants to introduce her to Three Custom Color Specialists’ Cool Bronzer.

coolbronzer Hey There, Agent Orange...Try Some Cool BlushThis unique Cool version (it is also available in Warm) is especially formulated for rosey-toned skin, creating a healthy look without the damaging effects of the sun.

Oil-absorbing ingredients minimize shine for a long-lasting, clean matte finish while providing sheer, breathable coverage.

So if you’ve got cool undertones like Lindsay, learn from her pumpkin-faced pitfalls and go get this product.

Sold at threecustom.com, beauty.com, and makeup.com.
