Every year I always check in with Laura Mercier about their holiday offerings, because no matter what, they always have something that ends up on the top of my wish list. The first time I was introduced to their holiday gift sets was when I was working at Cosmopolitan and a sleek, red box arrived at my desk with three mini jars of goods. It was their Creme Brulee Trio, that I coveted, covered and kept for myself!
On Tuesday night I attended Amanda Seyfried‘s 26th birthday party at Norwood in NYC thrown by Cle de Peau (she’s the face of the brand). The whole private club was filled with editors and we all eagerly checked out the brands Spring 2012 launches and wished Amanda a happy birthday by lighting individual candles promptly at 7pm. The most exciting part – I found the perfect lipstick – Cle de Peau Enriched Lip Luminizer in Plum Pudding.
Earlier this month I received an email from a publicist about SpotCheck, a new application available on iTunes and invented by Dr. Bobby Buka that allows you to upload an image of a potentially dangerous mole with your smartphone, send it into a board of dermatologists for review with no co-pay. Sounds genius right? Of course, but as a skeptical journalist I spoke with Dr. Ilyse Lefkowicz to get another opinion before you spend the $4.99 submitting a photo.
It’s that time of year again! While you can tune in on November 29th and watch the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, I’ll be there tomorrow for the taping as the angels prep backstage and walk the runway. Of course, I’ll be tweeting live on site and posting images, interviews and videos immediately after the show on BeautySweetSpot so you can get the scoop right away.
Fall is my favorite season for many reasons, but perhaps the biggest is because we get to ‘fall back’ – an extra hour of sleep! That’s right, don’t forget to turn your clocks back an hour on Saturday night. Make sure you’re getting the most out of your snooze with beauty loot that works best while you’re at rest. Check out my favorite finds.
