If we are about the same age (34 cough cough) or slightly older, then maybe your childhood was much like mine– your daily soap opera was Barbie and Ken hanging out at the Barbie house and driving around town in her Corvette. I dreamed of being as beautiful as Barbie with the perfect life. Well, we may not get the perfect life, but with the Barbie Loves Stila collection now available at Sephora, we can live out our childhood fantasies (or at least mine) and be just as glamorous as our perfect plastic idol.

A while back I asked you all what you thought of mousse foundation. So finally I have had the chance to give it a try with Milani Cosmetics Mineral Mousse Foundation (which is oil-free LOVE). I also gave their talc-free Mineral Compact Makeup and Lip Mixer a shot as well. Paired with some of my other favorite brands, I was determined to get that snowbunny-sexy look going on.

Collier Strong, a Consulting Makeup Artist for L’Oréal Paris, gave me some tips on the trends that we saw the celebrities don on the Golden Globes red carpet tonight.
Trend 1: Focus On The Lips
It’s all about a beautiful bold lip! Whether it’s warm or cool, a bold, opaque, red lip has a very sexy yet romantic feel. The eyes are as glamorous or neutral as your wardrobe dictates. During the day, eyes are kept simple; at night, opt for a darker look. Either way, eye makeup should be blended beautifully and brows should be perfectly groomed for an elegant look. …read more

If you’ve read my beauty blog for a while then you know I always say red lipstick may not be good for everyone. So when Christina Zilber, a makeup stylist for Jouer Cosmetics, approached me about the red lip trend that we are sure to see at the Golden Globes, I asked her if she’d be willing to help all of us understand what other colors on our face can help make a red lip work for everyone…and she did.

Elizabeth Arden just launched a new mineral foundation powder that I have been loving for the last week: Pure Finish Mineral Powder. The compact itself is a “portable grinder” as there is no loose powder in this baby! How many of you have hated putting your mineral foundation in your handbag and having it become messy when you open it? The fact that you only twist the compact for it to grind out only as much powder as you need is sheer genius!

Launching this month from Estee Lauder is another airport exclusive in their Pure Color Makeup Companion. The newly designed, sleek compact holds a full-sized Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick (Bois de Rose) that allows you to change your lipstick to whatever Pure Color shade you desire. It also offers Lucidity Translucent Pressed Powder and two eye shadows (Ivory and Cinnamon) along with corresponding applicators. This portable compact is the ideal travel companion whether on your daily trip to work or on your way to an exotic holiday.
