How is it already December 11th? Are you thinking that, because I certainly am! Just in case you're starting to feel the pressure too, I've rounded up 10 perfect presents that won't break the bank. From full makeup palettes and delish bath & body goods to Bobbi Brown's latest book, you'll feel great about gifting any of these beauties and they all cost $25 or less!
As far as makeup looks go, I kind of covet an "it girl" messy smoky eye a la Nicole Richie, Kate Moss, and Rachel Roy. In fact, I remember reading a magazine article once that talked about getting this sexy look by simply sleeping in your makeup. They showed a model with perfectly disheveled hair and smudgy shadow that looked effortlessly cool. Who wouldn't want to wake up looking like that, right? So I tried it, and the results, not so pretty. I woke up looking like more of a makeup meltdown with cray hair. Disappointed. So that you never have to go through this sleep study yourself, I decided to take on an extra FNO assignment. Between working the red carpet, hanging with the Bachelorette, Emily Maynard, and catching a pop-in visit by the one and only Anna Wintour, I called on a few of my makeup artist friends to tell me exactly what products they would use to get Nicole Richie's rockstar look. You ready?
Seriously fab sister duo Jean & Jane Ford, the masterminds behind Benefit Cosmetics have finally made it to the big screen x2! Not only did their movie Glamouriety premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, they also happen to have an enchanting new kit tied to the #1 movie in America - Snow White and the Huntsman.
It's Day 8 of the mBLOG Beauty Giveaway, and today I'm serving up sets from a brand that brings together two of my favorite things, a sense of humor and beauty products that deliver results. That brand, of course, is Benefit Cosmetics, the San Fran-based company that makes beauty seem like a party that everyone's invited to! Their products are fun, fresh, and nothing short of fantastic. And don't let the cheeky names fool you, that's just a stroke of creative genius. The real magic lies inside their cute packaging, with serious formulas that mean business.
Sometimes it takes an outside perspective to jog my memory about a great product. Luckily another stylish subway traveler recently reminded me about Benefit Cosmetics Benetint.
