Top 5 Looks of the Golden Globes

The Golden Globes red carpet had me blown away tonight!  I couldn’t decide on my absolute favorite look.  I think it’s a tie between Charlize Theron’s sexy deep-V Dior gown paired with a glamorous headband and Jessica Alba’s super feminine strapless Gucci, but I saw so many chic styles that I had to show you my top five.

Man of the Moment, Jeremy

Hi BeautySweetSpot readers!  I have a new ‘Man of the Moment’ for you this week, Jeremy, 33, from  Boston but lives in NYC.  He’s in Digital Marketing and loves to swim, fish, boat and lift weights… yes, he’s single.  He’s the type of guy who chooses Angelina Jolie over Jennifer Aniston, but if he were to take any celeb out on a date he’d choose Teresa Palmer.  Check him out:

What’s in your medicine cabinet?

A wide assortment of Chanel men’s products: Platinum Egoiste deodorant, Platinum Egoiste bath and shower gel, Allure Homme Sport hair and body wash, Pour Monsieur after shave moisturizer, Men’s Lab products: Mulit-action face wash, Invigorating face scrub, Power wash, Power protector SPF 50, and Tend Skin.

I’ve been a big Chanel products fan since receiving a gift set in college for the holidays. As a guy, I get told I smell often, so it’s worth it. Men’s Lab makes quality products; I especially like using the face scrub before shaving and use the Power protector w/SPF 50 daily including as a sunscreen during the summer.

What product can’t you live without and why?

Chanel Platinum Egoiste deodorant. I have these hidden away all over the place

The Right Brows for Your Face Shape

I’m pretty anal when it comes to having my eyebrows threaded.  I get them done when there’s the least bit of hair underneath them because they need to look and feel very clean.  I also love the woman who shapes my brows because she places the arch exactly where it needs to be.

What about you?  Are your brows shaped properly according to your face shape?  There is a science to the madness!  DailyMakeover recently talked with the owner of Browhaus Salon, Cynthia Chua, to find out just how to get the perfect brow for your face shape.  Check out the article to make sure you’re in check.

Have you ever experienced a brow horror story?

Golden Globes 2011 Hits and Misses

So immediately after the Jets beat the Patriots I tuned into the Golden Globes red carpet to check out who got it right and who was about to be humiliated by the press until they had a chance to redeem themselves at the Oscars. Here’s my list of hits and misses from the 2011 Golden Globes:

Anne Hathaway‘s body blew me away.  It wasn’t just that I thought she was one of the best dressed on the carpet in her beaded blush colored Armani Prive gown, but the fact that she absolutely couldn’t have pulled it off if she wasn’t in tip top shape.  Not many people can, not even in Hollywood.

Starlettes such as Angelina Jolie, Elizabeth Moss and Catherine Zeta Jones all donned green gowns.  I’m assuming it’s because they’re all NY Jet’s fans and absolutely hate the New England Patriots as much as I do so despite the fact that they couldn’t watch the game due to prior commitments, they wanted to show their support.  Whether it was that or just a huge trend, it’s a big hit on my list.

Two horrific misses?  One, January Jones looked hot yes, but completely inappropriate for the Globes.  Yes, she may have a very toned, shapely body to show off, but cut outs around her breasts at the Globes?  Not OK in my book.  And I can’t even begin to rant about Jennifer Love Hewitt.  The poor girl was lost again.  Does she even have a stylist?  If not, she should get one… quick.  And if she does, it’s time to cut ties. She looked like a lost bride.

Get It While It’s Hot: KohGenDo Launched in Barneys

It’s not often I come across a beauty brand that I absolutely cannot live without, but KohGenDo is one of them.  About a year and a half ago the Japanese skincare and cosmetic brand launched online in the US and just recently they made their big debut on the counters at Barneys in New York and in Beverly Hills.  Get this – Barney’s can’t keep the products on shelves!

Looks like the rest of the world is with me.  I covet the skincare.  Especially the Macro Vintage Essence Mask.  It’s one product I’ll share only with my mom because it’s that good.  I use it once a week and it keeps my skin boosting with a fresh, dewy glow.

KohGenDo recently came out with Gommage Gel that’s a gentle exfoliator and trust me on this – you know it’s working. Why?  Because all of the dead skin cells and impurities you’re rubbing away show as the exfoliant turns to rubbery balls. Yes, it may sound gross, but let’s face it, we all like products that look or feel effective.  This skincare line has proven results over time to me.

Besides loving the skincare myself, celebrity makeup artists are cult followers of the skincare and makeup, especially the foundations.  They were used on Angelina Jolie in Salt and recently on the cast of The Reasonable Brunch (Demi Moore, Ellen Barkin and Kate Bosworth).  Ellen Barkin regularly grabs the products from Alcone in NYC whether she’s filming or not.  Now KohGenDo’s available to us online and in Barneys!  Check out the full range of products and let me know if you’d like suggestions… trust me, I’ve been using all of the skincare and tried all of the cosmetics!
