Giorgio Armani ~ Face Fabric Foundation with spf 12

2010-09-20T21:46:00.004-04:00

This light foundation is what took me through the summer months and gave me the "healthy-looking glow". If you dont need much foundation, you will love this product.

Giorgio Armani translates his skills in texture and layering into its unique range of cosmetic textiles, a wardrobe for face. Face fabric is an invisible makeup with a 3D Micro-fil technology.

Its unique Micro-fil™ formulations bring lightness and fluidity to makeup, allowing infinite blending and layering to enhance the natural glow of the skin.

Stay tuned for more of my favorite beauty products.

Fashion Week Survival ~ beauty and makeup tips

2010-09-20T21:10:00.004-04:00

Begin your beauty regime with a primer that fills in fine lines and pores for a flawless finish! Give Smashbox's Photo Finish Foundation Primer a try. It helps to inhibit the destruction of collagen so you can look flawless.

Sleepless night? Cover up those under-eye bags, puffiness, or any other perfections with Tarte's Dark Circle Defense. The finely milled light refracting minerals actually brighten skin to help camouflage dark circles, puffiness, refness, fine lines and wrinkles. And there's 56% reduction in eye puffiness after 4 weeks.

Opt for a matte shadow in a natural hue on the lids. We love Revlon's ColorStay 12 Hour Eye Shadow in In The Buff. Better yet, go for a thin line of smudged pencil eyeliner. Sue Devitt's Eye Intensifier Pencil is great. Nylon and a number of other ingredients lock in moisture and expand and contract with facial movements without creasing to create a long-lasting, luminious eye.

Stop fussing with and reapplying your makeup! Ditch the trips to the ladies room and mist on a product that holds concealer, foundation and eyeshadow in place for up to 16 hours. Skindinavia Makeup Finishes creates a flawless look so there's less touch ups throughout the day.

OTHER TIPS:

For your face, you probably won't need much more than concealer and loose powder. If you have blemishes or uneven skin tone, by all means, use a foundation! But if you don't need much coverage, just skip it.

Well-groomed brows show that you pay attention to details. Tweeze any stray hairs, and if you have brow gel, use it to set your brows in place. (A tiny bit of hair gel, diluted with water, can do the same thing.)
Applying a little bit of blush makes everyone look healthier. Use this rather than bronzer for a natural-looking, healthy glow.

Gwen Stefani ~ New York Fashion Week in style

2010-09-16T18:55:00.007-04:00

Spotted running around NYC Fashion Week in pair of heavy acid wash denim jeans. Get your own pair and be in style! These are called The Wonder Jean. Recognized for being the most incredible “push up” jean, lifting your backside without any unnatural padding or added help. European denim line called Salsa Fits my Life is starting to make a huge splash in the US with the recent opening of their first US store in Los Angeles and bringing their revolutionary styles at affordable prices. Aside from The Wonder other inventive styles include The One, a unisex jean, The Two, a reversible jean and The Secret, with a higher rise giving you an instant tummy tuck.

Braza ~ Swim Shapers ~ Problem Solved!

2010-08-16T21:27:00.010-04:00

Don't you hate it when you find a bikini that you love but it doesn't have a padded bra? or the foam pads in the top have become misshaped and out of place. The solution is here ladies....

Braza, the company that makes solutions for lingerie and clothing emergencies, provides a solution for swimwear, called Swim Shapers - which also add lift and cleavage. Swim Shapers are available in either covered foam or silicon and in a variety of sizes and shapes to fit different swimsuit styles and to provide different cleavage-bearing options. Swim Shapers are the perfect alternative to the cheap foam pads that come in swimsuits that usually get crumbled up or fall out. Swim Shapers are available at BrazaBra.com and a variety of local retailers.

Even with 4 kids Heidi manages to look good and make everything work. Here is her secret from an interview she did for Stylelist

"Be organized. Narrow it all done to make it work," she advises. "Get rid of all the things that are too 'Mumsy.' I got rid of all my over-baggy, nasty, jim-jam things that are frumpy, so when you put things together, everything is working."

Angelina's stunt trainer shares Angelina Jolie's get-fit tips: SELF.com

Is there a specific diet Angelina had to follow to maintain her body weight and/or physique for the film?

Our strategy was (can you keep a secret?): she has to have 70% carbohydrates and 30% protein diet with an anaerobic training regime as opposed to aerobic, so she can put muscle on without losing weight. Sticking to four or five meals a day routine as much as possible. Then when she reaches a good body level that we like, we change it to 60%/40% favoring carbs. No junk food, no empty calories, and alcohol only on weekends (now that's hard!).

Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook: Crazy Delicious Recipes that Are Good to the Earth and Great for Your Bod

2010-07-26T22:17:00.002-04:00

Book comes out in October 2010.

After five years atop the Skinny Bitch phenomenon, author Kim Barnouin has grown as a cook, a nutritionist, and a mom. Now she delivers the “Ultimate” cookbook that will be for everyone looking for a healthier way to feed themselves, their families, and friends. Kim’s emphasis is on “easy,” and her kick-ass recipes feature seasonal produce (no fake meat or hard-to-find ingredients) and provide a versatility of tastes and cuisines, from Mediterranean to California-fresh. With almost 150 recipes, full-color photos, complete nutritional breakdowns, and simple “switch-outs” for quick variations, it will be the new “gotta have" on any healthy bitch’s bookshelf.

Whether readers are looking to gradually add more meatless dishes to their meals, or want to go “all-out” vegan, Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook will be their “go-to” source for getting their “bitch” on—in the kitchen.

Skinny Bitch book is like my reference guide when I need info on ingredients. It is also a motivational book when I have been eating crap and I need an idea for a meal. I can not believe its been over 2 years that this book has been around and they are only now making it on the Best Sellers list, all thanks for Jessica Alba and Victoria Beckam. They probably started reading the series after they read Skinny Bitch Bun in the Oven - which is another great book for mommies to be. Oh yes, and there is a book for men too! called Skinny Bastard

The 29-year-old star is believed to share tips for losing baby weight with other mothers in the industry and is also sticking to a high protein diet as well as exercising every day.

She said: "I want to lose about another 10lbs. Not because of work but because I want to. Also, I will continue with my workouts because I like a toned body. I like everything to be hard."

“I’m doing yoga now,” she says. “I didn’t used to take it seriously, but now I realize it’s really good way to get some exercise – and it’s fun.”

ERYKAH BADU @ THE KOOL HAUS - AUGUST 11

2010-07-13T20:54:00.000-04:00

TICKETS ON SALE TUESDAY JULY 13 at 10 AMhttp://www.ticketmaster.ca/event/100044E9FD47C6D6?brand=union

Multi-platinum-selling, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter-actress Erykah Badu, one of the best loved, most constantly challenging and uniquely creative artists currently working in popular music, has announced a one-off Toronto date for August 11.

Badu’s new album New Amerykah, Part II: Return of the Ankh, was recently released to unanimous acclaim. In ancient Egypt, the hieroglyphic character of the ankh at the fingertips of a goddess symbolized eternal life. If Erykah Badu’s “cipher keeps moving like a rolling stone,” as she so coquettishly proclaims in the legendary single “On & On” from her dazzling 1997 debut, Baduizm, her latest opus, New Amerykah, Part II: Return of the Ankh, the follow-up to 2008’s critically acclaimed New Amerykah Part One: 4th World War, represents the point in Erykah’s career where she has traveled that cipher’s full 360 degrees and been revitalized.

The new album, a warm recital of personal philosophies on love and heartbreak, marries the understated wit of the old Erykah to the sonically venturesome new Erykah. On New Amerykah, Part II: Return of the Ankh, structured ballads and airy jam sessions coexist peacefully in the same soulful arena.

A galvanizing live performer renowned for her electrifying stage presence and soulful vocal ability, Erykah Badu promises to deliver a live experience not to be missed.
