Greetings from the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf on Hollywood Blvd!

Yes, it’s not even 7 am here on the West Coast, but I couldn’t WAIT to share this news.

Bobbi Brown

Bobbi Brown will this year be a sponsor of the The Heart Truth’s Red Dress Collection 2010 Fashion Show — which by the way I am attending AND wearing a new red dress for. The show, which brings some of Hollywood’s leading ladies together on one runway, will be taking place on February 11th during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at “The Tent” at Bryant Park.

It’s a magical show, which makes you feel extra-special about being a woman — hell, a human being — and this year Bobbi created an exclusive, limited-edition Bronze Shimmer Brick Set in partnership with The Heart Truth campaign to raise awareness about women and heart disease.

And, aside from being an amazing cause, it’s beautiful, especially those of us who crave a warm, bronzy glow. The set includes Bobbi’s Shimmer Brick in Bronze and a Mini Face Blender Brush.

Only 500 of these limited-edition sets, which feature a specially designed package and the tagline “Listen to Your Heart,” will be available from www.bobbibrown.com for $40 each. So, hurry. This is not something you can wait on!

There’s certain beauty MUSTS in my arsenal – and one of them is an awesome liner pencil.

Sue Devitt Beauty

I’m loving Sue Devitt Beauty’s Eye Intensive Pencil in black widow/black lavender.

It intensifies my actual eye color, and it lasts all day – without smudging or smearing! As I am about to fly for an arse-long day, that’s great to have. It has a secial ingredient Nylon-12 that expands and contracts with facial movements without creasing or cracking.

Want to try it too? Ten readers will win one! To have your chance to win, comment below with your favorite sexy-eye trick – and then tweet that response to @SueDevittBeauty on twitter by February 10.

Good luck! Have a great weekend!

Scope, Valentine’s Day, and I’m Going to LA http://www.splendicity.com/ebeautydaily/scope-valentines-day-and-im-going-to-la/ http://www.splendicity.com/ebeautydaily/scope-valentines-day-and-im-going-to-la/#comments Fri, 05 Feb 2010 03:12:51 +0000 Aly Walansky http://www.splendicity.com/ebeautydaily/?p=5950 Post from: eBeautyDaily

So, Valentine’s Day is coming up. As in…the holiday we all love/love-to-hate/love again, and the sure-to-be-fabulous movie.

Scope Outlast

And I’ll tell you in a few days just how fabulous the movie is, because Scope Outlast is sending me out to LA to represent them at the star-studded Grauman’s Chinese Theater red carpet and premiere screening!

I’ll be tweeting…non-stop, and reporting on just how kissably close that makes the stars and starlets.

Why do I ALREADY love Scope Outlast? (Besides the obvious.) Outlast technology that binds tightly to select receptors in the mouth, that helps to create that cool, refreshing sensation that we crave. And makes us kissable. (Get it?) And that sensation lasts five times longer than brushing alone!

In, fact, kn a double-blinded study, 80% of mouthwash users felt fresh longer after using Scope Outlast versus brushing alone. That makes us smell and taste better – but also gives us the confidence to get a little closer.

The Land of Milk and Honey http://www.splendicity.com/ebeautydaily/the-land-of-milk-and-honey/ http://www.splendicity.com/ebeautydaily/the-land-of-milk-and-honey/#comments Wed, 03 Feb 2010 14:46:22 +0000 Aly Walansky http://www.splendicity.com/ebeautydaily/?p=5938 Post from: eBeautyDaily

One of my favorite products to receive is body butter. I think smooth, soft, skin is intrinsic to survival, and if it also happens to make you smell amazing…well, that’s just icing on the cake.

Lather

Lather

So, imagine how excited I was by LATHER’s almond, milk, and honey body butter. I just used it post-shower while I was getting ready to head off to a lunch shin-dig, and oh.my.god. It literally makes me smell like a festive baked surprise. I, men of the world, am delicious.

Take note.

Aside from smelling fabulous, it’s super-rich — which I think is probably more important – and really awesome for my dry skin. And the stuff that makes it smell so great is actually responsible for that! uSweet almond oil softens and conditions while milk proteins, rich in vitamins A & D, help to smooth the skin and give it suppleness. Honey extract provides additional moisturization while soothing dry, damaged or irritated skin.

Try it! I would not steer you wrong. Unless, of course, to keep you away so that there’s more for me.

Steal the Look: Ciara at Grammy Awards http://www.splendicity.com/ebeautydaily/steal-the-look-ciara-at-grammy-awards/ http://www.splendicity.com/ebeautydaily/steal-the-look-ciara-at-grammy-awards/#comments Mon, 01 Feb 2010 17:28:01 +0000 Aly Walansky http://www.splendicity.com/ebeautydaily/?p=5934 Post from: eBeautyDaily

Another hot look at last night’s Grammy Awards was pop mega-starlet Ciara, whose look was created by celebrity makeup artist Yolanda Frederick.

Want to steal her look? Yolanda gave us a step-by-step how-to!

“For Ciara’s Grammy red carpet look, I prepped the face with shu uemura’s new UV Under Base Fluid in Medium Beige. I then followed up with shu uemura’s Nobara Cream Cover Stick foundation in 524 for a flawless golden finish.”

My favorite party was her flirty lashes, which were created with lots of shu uemura’s Ultimate Mascara in Black to frame the eye.

“For cheeks, I used shu uemura’s Glow On blush in M Amber 89 and highlighted with Lancôme’s Model Mocha Cream Shimmer for more drama!” Yolanda says. “For a perfect lip, I lined ever so lightly with shu uemura’s Drawing Lip Pencil in Brown 710 then topped it off with shu uemura’s creamy nude Rouge Unlimited lipstick in BG 940M. I then wanted to highlight the center of the lip with a shimmery gloss, so I applied shu uemura’s Gloss Unlimited in BG 980N for that extra pop!”

Gorgeous!

So, tell me, what were some of your favorite Grammy looks this year?

Keri Hilson at Grammy Awards http://www.splendicity.com/ebeautydaily/keri-hilson-at-grammy-awards/ http://www.splendicity.com/ebeautydaily/keri-hilson-at-grammy-awards/#comments Mon, 01 Feb 2010 17:01:46 +0000 Aly Walansky http://www.splendicity.com/ebeautydaily/?p=5928 Post from: eBeautyDaily

I flew in from Vegas last night about an hour into the Grammy Awards, so I missed a lot of the excitement. (However, I’m OK with that, I had a lot of excitement of my own!)

Zuma Press

Zuma Press

One of my fave parts of these start-studded events is watching the stars come out in their finest, and Keri Hilson turned to professional makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff to create her fabulous look.

Sheriff’s mission was to work the look around Keri’s gorgeous hazel eyes, but also add extra edge to the glam goddess appeal of her Dolce & Gabbana dress.

She started by using Mary Kay TimeWise Targeted-Action Eye Revitalizer. This wakes up tired eyes and reduces the appearance of dark circles. To accentuate Keri’s cheeks and compliment the soft peach tones of her dress, Sheriff used Mary Kay Mineral Cheek Color in Strawberry Cream, and for her eyes Mary Kay Mineral Eye Color in Sweet Plum.

Finally, that perfect pout? It’s done with Mary Kay Lip Liner in Dark Berry.

She looked HOT, don’t you think?

Pucker Up: Chocoholicks for V-Day http://www.splendicity.com/ebeautydaily/pucker-up-chocoholicks-for-v-day/ http://www.splendicity.com/ebeautydaily/pucker-up-chocoholicks-for-v-day/#comments Fri, 29 Jan 2010 11:52:15 +0000 Aly Walansky http://www.splendicity.com/ebeautydaily/?p=5918 Post from: eBeautyDaily

Confession: I am not a big fan of Valentine’s Day.

Jane Iredale

Jane Iredale

That said, I think Jane iredale’s Chocoholicks are among the most delicious products in recent history.

Let’s face it: We’re all on sweet-patrol at this point. A month after swearing off the cookies and cakes intrinsic to one holiday season, we are greeted with another one that is all about chocolate!

If you want to celebrate, but not gain weight, consider  chocoholicks. I sampled these earlier this winter, and they are fabulous — an assortment of four chic, chocolate truffle-flavored lip glosses.

Adorably, they look, smell, and even taste like fancy confections, but are totally guiltless! And will make you even more kissably sweet. If, unlike me, you have someone to kiss on Valentine’s Day, that is.

I think we’re all eager to make an impact — especially those of us who are going to Vegas in about 36 hours.

(I’ll shut up soon, I promise.)

Avon.com

Avon.com

But on that note, Avon has a new Mega Impact Lipstick perfect for your own high-profile life: It’s super rich, and has great, potent lip colors – perfect for your Valentine’s pout. (And let’s face it, many of us will totally be pouting on V-Day.)

If you are into the technical side of stuff, it’s made using ChromaPixel technology, which blends chromatic pigments with color-match magnifiers to amplify each shade by highlighting and reflecting its true hue. In Aly-speak: It also has SPF 15, which is good for protecting your lips, no matter how great the color is.

Plus, it’s only $8! Hello, budget-friendly.
