Everything Must Go: Get 75% Off EVERYTHING At Hard Candy

Word on the streetz is that Hard Candy is going out of business. I'm holding out hope that this is just a rumor. But right now, everything on their website is marked 75% off. Everything. So the drastic markdowns do nothing to assuage my fears. But if that is the fate of of this fun and fabulous brand, you might as well enjoy the sale and hoard you a little Hard Candy. Am I right?

At $2.75 each, you can afford to buy all seven shades of Sweet Spot Lip Gloss. The Eye Candy Eye Palette (left), with its nine best-selling shades, is only $5.50. That's 62 cents per shadow. Cha-ching! And it's not too early to start thinking about this year's Halloween costume...so stock up on Lash Freak Lashes (only $2 per pair)!

Inventory is gonna go, go, go. So get on over to hardcandy.com and start shopping. Make your dolla holla, honey!

Ken Paves Healthy Hair Boost Up Color Drops

As soon as I heard about Ken Paves Healthy Hair Boost Up Color Drops, I added it to my 'Needed This, Like, Yesterday' list.

Boost Up Color Drops can be used to extend salon hair colorings and keep color fresh – or to instantly brighten, darken or add warmth to your regular hair color. In addition to its color enhancing properties, the product also moisturizes, invigorates, and conditions and replenishes lost protein. The best part? One shampoo and it's back to the old you. "It's like cosmetics for your hair," Paves says.

Boost Up Color Drops are available in six shades: Beige, Black, Brown, Honey, Platinum and Red.

Get a .96 oz bottle for $39.95. Or purchase the Color Booster Explorer Kit from HSN (which includes a full-sized bottle of the Boost Up Color Drops plus shampoo, conditioner, shine serum and hair spray from Ken Paves' new Healthy Hair line) for the same price. This is a no-brainer.

Healthy Hair products are also sold at Henri Bendel. And sometime soon, you'll see this line popping up at Beauty.com, Macy's, Ulta, and fine salons near you!

Dishing On The Dish

Have you seen The Dish on The Style Network?

Hosted by Danielle Fishel (aka Topanga from Boy Meets World), this show takes an irreverent look at the weekly mishaps and meltdowns of celebrity fashion and lifestyle.

If you’re a Spoiled Pretty regular, you’re gonna love this show. It’s like The Soup for the ladies.

The Dish is one of my new favorite guilty pleasures…along with VH1’s Glam God (hosted by tranny-esque Vivica A. Fox) and The Cho Show. Watch them while your man is in the other room, or out doing 'man' things.

Black Magic: Exceptionnel de Chanel Intense Volume and Curl Mascara

Uh-oh, LashBlast…watch your back. Chanel is trying to steal me away from you.

I’m on the Allure Experts Panel (and you can be, too). Membership has its privileges, because, every now and again, they send me samples of exciting new beauty products. This time, Exceptionnel de Chanel Intense Volume and Curl Mascara showed up on my doorstep. And after using it, I was so in awe that I wanted to find the individuals responsible for bringing this mascara into my world – the folks at Allure...the geniuses at Chanel...the US Postal Service - and give them a big fat smooch.

Exceptionnel de Chanel Intense Volume and Curl Mascara delivers dramatic volume, voluptuous curves and clump-free, smudge-proof separation. The mascara doesn’t market itself as possessing lengthening aptitude. So when Exceptionnel took my lashes up, up and away…well, I was blown away. It was seriously like, ‘Go Go Gadget Lashes!’

The mascara owes its off-the-charts performance to the innovative, six-sided wand. The SCULPTVOLUME brush consists of three rows of combs that curl and groom lashes from root to tip, while three rows of brushes pump up the volume. To apply, place the wand at the base of the lash and gently rotate up and outward. The technique takes no time to master, and you’re left with the most perfectly lush (and lengthened) lashes – that last all day.


Me with bare lashes. Pathetic.


My eye wearing Exceptionnel de Chanel. Damn, girl!


Don't ask why I'm slightly orange. I'm a beauty blogger...not a photographer.

Exceptionnel de Chanel Intense Volume and Curl Mascara is available in four shades: Smoky Noir, Smoky Brun, Smoky Marine and Smoky Violine. One tube will set you back, $28 but it’s worth every penny. Besides...every woman needs a little Chanel in her life.

Get yours today at Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, and Chanel.com.

Back To The Future: Fall 2008 Beauty Trends

New York Fashion Week Spring 2009 kicks off next Friday, September 5th. But before we get too ahead of ourselves - let's take a trip down memory lane, reminisce about the Fall 2008 collections, and take a look at the hot beauty trends designed to compliment the season's coolest fashions. Enjoy!


The intrigue of nothing. The fragile come-on of 70s-style innocence rendered here in the nothing-but-everything lip that works against eyes swiped by a shadow. At Carlos Miele the signature Sweet Baby Jane look created by Lipstick, Myth and Plushglass, Nice Buzz.

The lips could have gone redder, but in an enigmatic, underplayed, sexy, and too coy 70s twist, the lips on show at Kai Kühne offered a pliant light-shined softness against eyes dramatically swiped by line and shadow. The palette: Show Orchid, a bright floral fuchsia, with a Tinted Lip Conditioner, Gentle Coral.

Amidst Elie Saab's glamour parade, an eye that was summed by M·A·C's Gordon Espinet as evoking the glama-duo of Cher and Diane Ross. And of course, this high class disco rework would be nothing without Blue. Here it is in modern shades of Freshwater and Carbon Eye Shadow, soft smudge-able Eye Kohl in Blooz, Plush Lash Mascara in Plushblack.

At Luca Luca, designer Luca Orlandi's beautifully spare and precise designs were timeless, the right setting for a richly goldmined eyes that pitted precious metals against velvet against satin to evoke the expensive glamour mood of the 70's. Features: Pigment, Golden Lemon, Eye Shadows, Carbon and Brun, and 7 Lash.

Antonio Berardi's stridently, almost fetishistically black fashions were supported by looks that were consummately masculine-feminine. Key feature was a brow, rendered in the form of a strong, lengthened hyper-groomed arch, matched against lids that were soft of colour yet deftly defined. To get the look: Brow Shader, Auburn/Malt; Eye Shadow, Dazzlelight; Fluidline, Dipdown; 263 Small Angle Brush; Zoom Lash, Zoomblack.

Against fuss and florals, anoraks and countryside, the look at Matthew Williamson was of a no-nonsense English Rose. Lending the fresh feel - the no-drama eyes created by Brow Set, Clear; Paint Pot, Groundwork; Pro Lash, Coal Black.

At Isabelle Marant the attitude was soft and easy. Models breezed down the runway, hands in pockets. And on their faces: nothing much. Given the relaxed attitude, it was just right. For the lips: Slimshine, Funshine with Lip Conditioner SPF 15.

Referencing the bold panache of comic book Spiderwoman and slipping them into soft, sexy modern armour there was no war paint at Sophia Kokosalaki. These modern heroines like it bare to become face-naked, all-powerful. Key elements: Lipstick, Myth, Pretty Please and Powder Blush, Pinch Me.

Fashion tribes of any DNA have long hankered after the black lip. As the fashion goth's matte black sees the ghost, backstage at Giles there was a fabulous reworking in fabulously noir patent black. Glamorous against any colour of skin. Blend your own: Lipmix in Black with rich browny-black Copper Walnut Gloss.

High Priestess of Glama-Punk, Vivienne Westood's Fall inspires a glittering archly-glam lip. Light up your dark side. The essentials: Lipstick, Dark Side; Lip Pencil, Nightmoth. For the highlights: Glitter Reflects, Rust, and Clear Lipglass.

At Manish Arora the speak-with-your-eyes glamour of Bollywood and the mannered demure of Paris couture fuse in eyes smoothly and fluidly articulated with a languorously flirtatious wisp of lash. The 5 essentials: Fluidline, Blacktrack; Eye Shadows, Soot and Blanc Type. The 2 Lash. Duo Adhesive, Dark.

Graphic, part geisha, Nathan Jenden' s blushing beauties evoked reactionary femmes from every era from Restoration-style ladies of some repute to deft 80's glam. The tools: Powder Blush, Frankly Scarlet, Set Powder, Invisible, and the must-have 168 Brush for the defined stroke.

Girls love their bud, and nowhere is it more apparent than at Carmen Marc Valvo. Wine red shades, definitively applied are left to speak, truthfully, for themselves. The shades that say it all: Lip Pencil, Cherry for supreme definition and Lipstick, Pink Nouveau for fill.

Richard Nicolls' exaggerated forms demanded a minimal canvas and largely there was a sense of "mummy having hidden the lipstick". But there was still work for the sommelier. The perfect wine to decant here: Lipstick, Plumful.

Against soft forms, draped silhouettes what was consistent at Donna Karan: the red wine tailored lip. Distinctly Chateaux MAC 2008, here was a lip that punctuated the runway with a robust, sexy, splendour. Lipstick Lovelorn and Lady Danger.

At Rodarte where lips went a bit-of-a blot to a deep red kabuki bow, it was the eyes that held the look of bare-faced intrigue with an unexpected wine stain that find itself in creases or stroking the under eye. The shades: Eye Shadows, Post Haste, Dazzlelight.

Against Hérve Léger micro-forms, what else but deceptively minimalist lines rendered in matted chalky tones of pink. Part mod; part art school sophisto, part boho with a pout. Key for the legions who will love this look: Layer Lipsticks, Snob and Pervette. Don't wait for Art Basel (wear it now!)

With windblown hair and blush that knows no border, Fall at Romeo Gigli pointed to the art of pushing limits, and having fun. Here Powder Blush, Fleur Power sweeps up the cheeks to under the eye to create one single wash of colour. For lips: Lip Pencil, Redd; Lipstick, Lady Danger.

Influenced by the flora and fauna-inspired art of the Lalannes Catherine Malandrino's palette becomes nature based with the key eye shaded as colourfully as a turning leaf. The palette: Eye Shadow, Gorgeous Gold, Coquette and Flourishing with Fibre Rich Lash, All Black.

At Monique Lhuillier eyes became "accessory", the dynamic counterpoint to Lhuillier's forms of sculptural simplicity. At work: the tonal capacity of colour to create a mood of dark. Eyes dappled with the triple-colour shading that deliberately put the eyes in full-focus. For shades: Eye Shadow, Beauty Marked, Deep Truth, and Trax. Define with Technakohl Liner, Auto-de-Blu and top off with Pro Longlash, Pitchblack.

Carrie Underwood Is Just Like Us: She's a Makeup Junkie!

Carrie Underwood is Allure's cover girl for their September 2008 issue.


Makeup artist Brigitte Reiss-Andersen was inspired by glamorous Bond girl Ursula Andress. "The idea with Carrie's makeup was to showcase her eyes and give them that 'pop,'" says Reiss-Andersen.

First, she sponged on a light wash of foundation and dabbed the apples of Underwood's cheeks with a peach cream blush. Then she rimmed Underwood's eyes in charcoal liner and blended cranberry and nude eye shadow from the lash line to the crease. She added "tons of fake lashes" as well as mascara. Finally, Reiss-Andersen applied a sheer and pearly lip gloss so it "didn't compete with her eyes."

To re-create the look, try:

* Chanel Soft Touch Eyeshadows in Cinnamon and Beige
* Chanel Powder Blush in Horizon
* Chanel Aqualumiere Gloss in Bonbon

Reiss-Andersen offered to tone down Underwood's makeup before she headed out the door, but the singer loved it so much that she kept it. She signed a few autographs for the crew before heading off to shop for cosmetics at a local mall with her mom and sister - fake eyelashes and all!

Don't Hate The Hairspray, Hate The Hold

Raise your hand if you're a hairspray hater. I'm right there with you. My fine, limp hair and falls flat at the mere mention of heat or humidity...but I'd much rather sport listess locks than a shellacked style, any day.

I believe that hair should move...so give me a firm hold formulation and that mess is going straight into the trash. No helmet head for me, thank you. And flexible hold hairspray is a joke. I like my Kentucky Fried Chicken crispy...not my hair.

After years of playing Goldilocks - desperately searching for a hairspray to hold my hairstyle (not hold it captive), I've found one that even the most staunch haters will absolutely adore.

Ted Gibson Beautiful Hold Hairspray is quite possibly the best hairspray. Ever. Unlike so many that promise beautiful, touchable hold - this one actually delivers. The fool-proof formula allows it to be layered depending on styling needs: natural, light or for greater hold. And the gardenia scent is so sophisticated, you can give your perfume the day off.

Ted Gibson's hair care line can be purchased at tedgibsonbeauty.com and (drumroll, please) Sephora!

Target Hits The Beauty Bullseye: JK Jemma Kidd, NP Set, and Pixi Now Available!

Target’s newest makeup lines – JK Jemma Kidd, NP Set, and Pixi – are now available in stores and online.

The JK Jemma Kidd line includes 95 face, eye and cheek products, as well as makeup tools, inspired by the catwalk. The color items have been designed with strong pigment to produce bold statement colors, and prices range from $14 to $39. In the September 2008 issue of Vogue, Kidd describes the line as being targeted (pun intended) to “makeup junkies. It’s for girls who want to experiment with color. I am bringing high fashion colors into makeup but making it very wearable.”

NP Set, Napoleon Perdis’ “masstige” collection, is comprised of 85 eye, face and lip products. Perdis says that NP Set is more fast-paced and playful than his eponymous line, which is sold at his four concept stores in California and in Sephora. NP Set products retail for $12-$30.

Pixi Cosmetics, a makeup line founded by three sisters based in the U.K., is collaborating with Target for Pixi by Petra Strand, a 101 piece collection “take on the original’s ‘skin-loving’ positioning, and infuse beneficial ingredients into sheer shades. According to a Target press release, “Pixi creates a flawless, photo-perfect finish that leaves women looking like themselves, only better.” The collection ranges from $12 to $39.

Because the price points are higher than you would find at most mass retailers, Target have added testers to the beauty shelves – to encourage customers to try before they buy.

“We understand that buying cosmetics is different than buying a top or sneakers,” said Joshua Thomas, a member of Target Corp.’s communications department. “When you buy [beauty] there is that emotional investment. We understand and appreciate that and the [new beauty displays] will reflect that.” He continued, “We want to see guests walk in the section of the store and interact with the beauty brands. It gives them a chance to touch, smell and feel the brands.”

Belle Of The Brows: Anastasia Brow Enhancing Serum

Between shaving, waxing, threading, and laser removal, women spend an inordinate amount of money getting rid of unwanted hair. But it only costs $35 to restore thin, over-plucked, and undernourished eyebrows - thanks to Anastasia.

Brow Enhancing Serum is a colorless and odorless gel, comprised of a unique blend of proteins. The deep conditioning action works to help stimulate the hair follicle in as quickly as 4-6 weeks. An easy-to-use applicator allows the non-greasy formula to glide on smooth without tugging or pulling and is gentle enough to be used every day. Brow Enhancing Serum is not harmful to the eyes or the surrounding skin area, plus as an added bonus, it also slows down excess hair loss, which results in a healthier fuller-looking brow.

For quite a while, I've been trying (in vain) to embrace the thicker brow trend. But genetics have not been in my favor. After using Brow Enhancing Serum, I noticed an improvement very quickly...quicker than the 4 weeks Anastasia promises.

I haven't experienced any negative side effects, so I fully intend to continue using this product until I achieve brows a la Camilla Belle (left).

Anastasia Brow Enhancing Serum is available at Sephora and anastasia.net.

Amazing Grace is Simply Irresistible

Last night, my sister and I took a cab to the Walish Gooshe Spring/Summer 2009 fashion show (more on that later). And the driver was so intoxicated by our choice of fragrance, Philosophy Amazing Grace Perfumed Body Spritz, that he made me repeat the name at least six or seven times, so that he wouldn't forget. He told me that his sister would love the scent and wanted to know where he could purchase it. What a thoughtful brother, right? I told him Sephora, which he repeated over and over so that he wouldn't forget that either.

It's no wonder Amazing Grace Perfumed Body Spritz was awarded the gold medal in the 2008 Summer Beauty Olympics. The scent is simply irresistible.

Take it away, Robert and fierce fembots...
