January 24, 2011 The weather is getting slightly warmer and I've been looking forward to wearing some gorgeous spring makeup. The NARS Spring 2011 Collection got me all excited -- it brings forth a palette of fresh, bright color that's tempered with jeweled earth tones. The look is modern, sleek and flawless. The eyes are infused with flirty metallic finishes and sparkling lips add a sensual tone to the overall look.

January 16, 2011 Christina Hendricks looked extraordinarily festive and gorgeous at this year's Golden Globes. To complete her ensemble NARS worked with celebrity makeup artist Vanessa Scali to create a special makeup palette for the "Mad Men" star. “I had this vision of a big, doe-eyed, lashy look from the late 70s and early 80s. To keep it modern, I kept the skin dewy with shimmering eyes and added a pop of matte texture on the lips,” said Vanessa.
January 16, 2011 The celebs were all out in full force tonight at the Golden Globe Awards.

Stern wanted something strong and defined yet allowed Amy's natural beauty to shine through.
January 13, 2011 Bobbi Brown never fails to impress me with her lovely makeup palettes. For one thing, the universally flattering colors are never boring and they're just so wearable.

January 10, 2011 Marie Veronique Organics has some of the best natural skin care on the market. The results-oriented brand offers many products that are made with organic, good-for-you ingredients. I got to try out their Anti-Wrinkle Duet recently, and it was an absolutely perfect antidote to my super dry winter skin.
This powerful duo consists of the Anti-Wrinkle Serum and the Anti-Wrinkle Vitamin C Supplement. The decadent serum is loaded with vitamin-rich oils (rosehip seed, marula, blackberry seed and argan) to smooth out the wrinkles. Upon application I could see it gently working out the fine lines. This is one serum where my skin felt truly nourished.
