A Benefit How-To!

January 19, 2007/

Check out this cool little product from Benefit. It is called "10", to get your cheeks looking like a perfect "model 10".

The application technique is unique, and I am not totally sure if it would work without some effort. You know, sweeping the brush over the product with the same pressure, and things like that. And what if you wanted a little more bronzer and less highlighter? You would have to use a few more brushes. But it does look like a nifty little product I would definitely give a try.

Here is the "How to":

UPDATE: I wrote this post before I actually tried this product, in which I just did. There is more of the bronzer than the highlighter in the box, and the application is really simple. I just use the brush included and swipe it evenly back and forth 2 or 3 times to get the right amount of product and sweep the brush onto my cheeks. It really is easy and a great way to get a perfectly balanced look. Kudos to Benefit for a unique product offering.

"10" is $26 and shipping is free at BenefitCosmetics when you purchase "10" by using promo code: FRSHIP10

The Golden Globe Winners & Losers.

January 15, 2007/

They graced their way down the red carpet and we have stopped and studied them all. Here we (a panel of 20, 30, and 40 something beauty lovers and award show addicts) present our list of winners and losers of this years Golden Globe Awards.

Now, we are only rating the women, as the men are just all fabulous - how can we complain? And while we do look at fashion, beauty is our thing. So, we are just sticking with the hair and makeup looks from the exciting evening.

Luckily, my loser list is short, so we will start with the lengthy list of winners, which are many.

The Winners:
Eva Longoria - Our number one favorite makeup look of the night. Her face was flawless, perfect down to every last bit of powder. And how amazing was her smoky eye look? The ultimate.
Jennifer Lopez - We all agree that she was one of the top winners of the night. Her hair was so fitting for her and her strong features. It was my personal favorite of the night. And her makeup was just lovely, very lovely. Again, we loved the dark eyes and overall glamorous look.
Angelina Jolie - I can't believe we are adding her to the winner list, but she looked beautiful. Her hair was classic, and her makeup stunning. She used a bit more color with her dark eye look than many of the other women. On her, it was perfect.

Drew Barrymore - WOW! She looked great. Her makeup was fresh and full of color. On the TV it looked to be in the pink and plum color family. Her hair was classic, and we love it dark on her pale skin.
Ellen Pompeo - Her hair! We loved her hair! We wish her makeup was a bit more glammed up, but again - her hair! It was stunning.
