The moisturizer evens out skin tone without settling into lines & wrinkles or making you look too made-up, while the top pops open to reveal a sheer concealer that offers a bit of extra coverage wherever necessary. Available at HSN.com.
Bobbi Brown recently opened up her new makeup studio and first freestanding store in Montclair, NJ. The grand opening event on May 31st, 2007 was brimming with loyal shoppers eager to make their favorite cosmetic purchases, enjoy complimentary makeovers and meet the makeup artist herself. When asked if she plans to open more freestanding stores in the future, Bobbi responded, “possibly in Soho, China and the UK."
“Colors for the summer include pinks, sheers and beach-inspired tones. New products include the Surf and Sand Eye Palette and Sun Kissed Face Palette,” says Bobbi. A quick and easy beauty tip from Bobbi Brown is to “drink a lot of water, don’t smoke, and be sure to wear concealer and blush.”
The studio is open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Makeup classes will soon be available and purchases can be made on Bobbi Brown’s ever-expanding line of makeup, skincare, fragrance, baby essentials and books.

Available in four fun colorways (with 5 shades each) such as Paradise & Eden, and a truly fun price-tag of $4 (!), this gel-based glitter can be applied to lips, eyes, face, and body - so there's simply no excuse not to sparkle anytime & any place. Available at NYXCosmetics.com.
Originally released in hardcover version in 2003, the perenially popular makeup manual is designed to give the rest of us access to some of the tricks of the trade. “I really like the idea of the book being in paperback,” says Mason, who has beautified an impressive roster of faces from Cameron Diaz, Uma Thurman, and Charlize Theron to Debbie Harry, Joan Jett, and Iggy Pop; she has also worked with Commes de Garcons, Giorgio Armani, Issey Miyake, Thierry Mugler, Jean Paul Gaultier, Versace, and John Galliano. “While I’m teaching methods much like I would in classes for professional make-up artists, I wanted every woman to feel as though they could pick up the book and learn something useful from it. I feel that offering it in paperback, makes the book even more accessible- particularly to women who are not involved in the cosmetics or fashion industry.”
The exterior is a hand-laquered coral relief, while the inside contains Vitamin C-infused powder for a velvety texture and flawless finish that Chantecaille is known for. Available as a limited edition at NeimanMarcus.com.
One of the HOTTEST (and Hautest) tickets in town last week (yes.. that's PRE- LA Fashion Week) was to get into Social Hollywood-- the coolest of the sizzling hot venues where celebs come to wine, dine and hangout.
So what was going on that stacked up the cars for the valets to check? MAX FACTOR premiering the BEST of LA's Fashion Designers to a stellar, star-struck, fashion-obsessed crowd of fashionistas, celebs, designers and stylists who were there to see an assemblage of great fashions by designers that haven't been featured together in one room except for perhaps --either an awards show OR Divine Design (and that's just a guess!)
Want to hear about who was there-- on and off the runway? Then check out the LA STORY blog for all the latest 411! Don't forget to check out the Fashiontribes Fashionweek blog for more about the various 'fashion week' coverage from LA and around the globe!
If it's happening in LA-- we have it covered! We might be a bit later than some but that's because we are digging deeper. Someone got bumped from Joseph Domingo last night because of IMG's dictum to radically cut back the number of seats and eliminate the standing area but our intrepid reporter not only met Joseph Domingo, he's willing to give her a personal interview with all the deets on his show.
In our fave post of the week, it's a truckload of unsolicited - but oh so necessary - advice from chicas in the know! The Bag Snob weighs
in on everything from incontrovertible evidence about why it's essential to protect one's delicate face from aging SPF, to
the right bag to carry for your frame (especially if you're teensy), to whether Terri Hatcher should get jaw realignment surgery...or simply wait 'till the end of
the full moon. FASHION:
