But what was also pretty neat was hanging backstage and watching Maybelline make up the faces!

Here’s a list of the products that were used on the models before hitting the runway:

• Maybelline New York Mineral Power Powder Foundation
• Maybelline New York Mineral Power Concealer
• Maybelline New York Mineral Power Blush in Gentle Pink
• Maybelline New York Mineral Power Illuminator
• Maybelline New York Lash Stiletto Mascara
• Maybelline New York Color Sensational Lipstick in Born With It

The hair (which was done by Avon) and makeup all had an 80’s ballerina theme to it – thus the messy bun – which was paired with pretty fierce, yet filled with a feminine edge. It was fun – and a packed house – and I loved it!

That doesn’t mean it’s not STILL a beauty bag staple!

So, I was very excited to learn about the new Hiss Good Nite lip gloss.
It’s a shimmery pink shade that is delicate but still sexy and has a very kissable peppermint scent: Even the packaging is adorable!

No matter what your hobbies and schedule, a good pink lipgloss is a beauty staple – no matter what brand or style you choose. Just try it, and you’ll see what I mean.

The style of the season embarks on a journey of flesh-toned palettes and free-flowing fabrics. Essie’s new Spring 2009 color collection captures the femininity of the season with a fresh, hopeful attitude.

This season, there was an air of elegant practicality with an emphasis on expertly cut classics. Relaxed trousers and draping dresses were matched with cascading ruffles and comfy knits. The runways were awash in translucent fabrics and grounded hues, and designers encouraged hopefulness with pops of lively colors amidst must-have nudes.

The Essie Spring 2009 collection compliments the season’s dreaminess with a mixed palette of soft red, beige and blue, pinky coral, fuchsia and petal rose – each named to inspire the newness and hopefulness of Spring.

“This was a season of classic hues,” says Essie Weingarten, president and founder of Essie Cosmetics, Ltd. “Last Fall’s potent colors gave way to softer, muted tones for Spring. I created this collection to flatter that feeling of Spring and gave each shade a feel-good name.”

Essie’s Spring 2009 Color Collection:

Eternal Optimist – Spiced Tea Rose

Flawless – Cherry Blossom Pink

Status Symbol – Feisty Hot Pink

One of a Kind – Poppy Red Kiss

Lacquered Up – Red Hot Crimson

Mesmerize – Royal va-va Blue

Maintenance of said workload is dependent on one being steadfast in their schedule, their tasks, and their daily responsibilities.

And still, when someone is a girlie girl who loves new toys…even with the best of intentions, this goes right out the window!

This past weekend, Lori Greiner sent me her spinning mirrored cosmetic organizer.

Now, I have had many such devices in the past…but as someone who receives boxes and boxes of cosmetics daily, it’s super easy for even the best of products to get overloaded very quickly. This though was finally something that could meet the challenge. (The challenge being, well, me.)

The way this works is that, like the earth, it spins on its axis – and each of the two doored compartments are mirrored! It stores over 150 tubes, jars, and containers, rotating to let you see everything at a glance: Meaning it will actually make it easier to do my job, and I do not suck afterall.

Yay for rationalization!

The spinning mirrored cosmetic organizer is available QVC for $64.68.

The set includes Pink Quartz Glitter Lip Gloss and Tulle Lip Color. The lip gloss gives you a terrific sparkling shine that can be worn alone or in conjunction with the lipstick.

Bobbi Brown is donating a portion of proceeds from the collection to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. You can order the set online at Nordstrom.com for $40.

How do you get lip color that lasts?

Here are some simple tips:

• Exfoliate your lips with a washcloth to create a smooth surface.
• Apply powder or primer to your lips if you are using creme formula lipstick.
• Fill in your entire lips with liner before applying lipstick.
• Use a lip brush for precision. You will be able to extend the color to the corners of your lips.

It was all the talk of the beauty boards when Besame Cosmetics announced its super sale (up to 75% off). The brand is repackaging/reformulating much of its line, so it’s out with the old, in with the new! I made a purchase a few weeks ago, and many of the products are still available. I just love the cute, retro packaging. It’s so luxe! The lipstick tube design is inspired by a lipstick case that belonged to Hernandez’s grandmother.

Some products I can wholeheartedly recommend are the Pistachio Eyeshadow, Sunkissed Rouge and Loose Powder. The sale now involves some very low priced items (Regularly around $20, now about $5), and other sets where you can stock up on favorites. I’d certainly love to try other shades of the eyeshadow and rouge!

Better hurry up to take advantage of the great prices!
