OK.. I’m picking the winners for the Cover Girl contest.. but I have NO ENTRIES. Nada.. zip.. zilch.
How do I give all these lovely prizes away, including the $20 WalMart gift card? Ughh.. I don’t know!!! As I have stated in the prize rules before, there will be one random Facebook winner, so a prize WILL be given away for certain. If I receive no entries to the contest, I may have to extend it for another month. So… hurry and get them in!

We all know how much I love Dior.. hmm!? So the Dior Fall 2010 collection is all about smoky eyes, purple shades, mystery & seduction. Since purple IS my favorite color, I’m super-stoked on the fall collections coming out. Nearly all skin tones can wear purple shades, so don’t be afraid to experiment with fall’s newest trend color.

Giorgio Armani’s new 2010 Fall collection is inspired by the deep blue tones of the night. From cold blue to sophisticated pink tones and warm crimson berry. Reminds me of the colors I saw when I used to sneak home at 7 am. Watching the wake of the day and the sun coming up is beautiful, but not with a hangover. Luckily, we have dear Giorgio to cheer us up!

#1 Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara :
See my review on this mascara here
Ok, so Maybelline Lash Stylist was the best mascara in the world (at least to me and thousands of other) and it was discontinued.

Some of you have been patiently waiting while I’ve been frantically trying to find the time to get this Cover Girl contest show on the road. FINALLY, I’ve recorded my video, which didn’t come out as clear as I had hoped for, but it was my first time using my FlipCam to do a video on makeup and it was hard holding it and doing the makeup at the same time. So the back story is that Cover Girl sent me a gigantic box to my office, which barely fit into my cube, which contained all three of [...] Continue Reading…

One word for this look on Natalie Portman.. FIERCE!!!
Natalie will play a troubled and talented ballerina in an upcoming flick called “The Black Swan”. I love it so much! It brings me back to the days of Star Wars and how inspired I was by the makeup for Queen Amidala.
