So, all my beauty buds are at Fashion Week, and I am not.  I started a new full time job today, and ending my last one and starting this one just really meshed badly with the fashion season this time!  But, all  is not lost.  We have Twitter.  Twitter totally saves the day at Fashion Week, I can read all about my friends adventures, real time, almost like I was there, minus the drenching rains.   Hope you gals brought your umbrellas!
Of course I follow most of my beauty buddies on Twitter already, so can watch them on …read more

Teri, Shannon and I had a ball at the Lancome Boutique while we were in NYC.  Teri has some pictures at Aging Fabulous of the facial room where she and I received a wonderful glycolic peel.  The treatment at home just isn’t the same as at the Boutique, I tell you – it was soooo nice.  It has been way too long since I have had a wonderful facial.  I filmed this video of Lancome’s Resident Makeup Artist, Leo Bare, talking about all of the gorgeous products in their Spring 08 L.U.C.I. collection with Shannon, who writes Makeup Minute.  I …read more

I mentioned a month or two ago that I was branching out from my mineral makeup.  I had become very comfortable in it, and I really needed to try some of the new foundations on the market – especially the anti-aging ones.  Darn it. 
It has been a long time since I have used liquid foundation on a regular basis, but I have started out with Elizabeth Arden’s new foundation, Intervene.  This is an extension of their successful Intervene Pause and Effect anti-aging skin care line.  Probably the very most important feature for a foundation for me is to have …read more

Really, since you all know I am not one of these esoteric fashionista types who can analyze fashion down to the nth degree, the most exciting thing I had planned during Fashion Week (besides finally getting to meet so many of my blogging friends, of course!!) was an invite to the “Project Runway Designer” show.  Until mid week, after that weeks PR show, it was unannounced which designer it was going to be.  I had a gut feeling it was going to be Victorya, my least favorite of the remaining designers, then when she got voted off, I was in …read more

So after the Red Dress show, some of the gals headed off backstage to Jason Wu, I went back and chilled out a little bit and got ready for a lunch with Lindsey and Suki from my beloved Elizabeth Arden.  I’m already (and have been) a great fan of Elizabeth Arden – as I have mentioned plenty of times before, their Double Density mascara is my favorite.  They are trying to convince me that their new Ceramide mascara is even greater, but we will see how she fares through the Mascara Wars.  Gonna be tough to beat Double Density, but …read more

Ah, after a missed flight yesterday (mechanical issues), I am finally back home – and what a surprise – I am mega behind.  I did so many fun things – I should have a months worth of great stuff to tell you about.  Some of the greatest stuff, I can’t spill til the end of MARCH though, darn it.  But suffice it to say, my excitement about it was akin to seeing Duran Duran in 1984.   I am so old.  LOL  Can’t wait to tell you about it and show you the pics.   But later on…
Of course I …read more
