The movie’s only been out for a week, and you’ve seen it multiple times. The film made you nostalgic, so you broke out your SATC box set and have taking a trip down memory lane with Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda. You downloaded the soundtrack and memorized all of the words to Fergie’s "Labels Or Love." But you’re still hungry from more Sex. How do you satiate your appetite? Marie Claire has you covered, literally.
The magazine dabbled in some four-play for its July 2008 cover. At the newsstands, Sarah Jessica Parker will be the face you see. Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon will be randomly sent to the mailboxes of Marie Claire subscribers.
Makeup artist Judy Chin, who worked with Sarah Jessica Parker on the last four seasons of SATC and on several films, is responsible for SJP’s big-screen beauty.
“Sarah had many looks for this film but one thing that I always wanted to be present for her was a natural beauty that didn't look like makeup,” Judy says.
“I tried to keep her eyes the focus by creating a strong yet natural lash line and I always framed her eyes with beautiful lashes. Also important: a healthy rosy flush to her cheeks, a soft mouth, and clean, healthy skin that had a natural glow and shine to it. I used blot film to remove excess shine and powdered only if I needed to.”
To give SJP’s skin a light, dewy finish, Judy applied tinted moisturizer with a brush, which gives a more even blend than fingers. Then she smoothed it out with a cosmetic sponge to work the color into the skin, making it more natural. She used concealer only where necessary, and gave SJP a slight rosy cheek using cream blush. By layering and blending it into the skin, it more closely mimics a natural flush.
“I worked the eye pencil into her lashline by applying it in between her lashes and smudged it very softly to blend it,” Judy says. “I was careful to coat her lashes from the root and brushed them out - and we always curled them.”
To steal the look, get carrie-d away with the following products:

I don’t really fancy myself a trendsetter. But for New York Fashion Week, I pulled out all the stops. Nordstrom LBD. BCBG patent pumps. Oversized sunglasses. Designer handbags galore.
Unfortunately, one of my most stylish accessories never saw the light of day because it stayed hidden in my purse. So it makes its debut tonight. Behold, my Felix Rey cosmetic case.
Check out the intricate lace motif and the logo zipper pull...super chic!
Felix Rey was born in 2001, when friends Lily Rafii and Sulaika Zarrouk decided to design accessories for the smart and stylish girl-about-town. They soon realized they were on to something when their bags started selling out at Bergdorf’s. Then fictional fashionista Carrie Bradshaw carried one of their bags on “Sex And The City” - and the rest, as they say, is history.
Today, Felix Rey continues to create haute handbags – as well as belts, wallets, umbrellas, and other small accessories that round out the line. They describe their customer as “the modern girl with a whimsical flair for style,” and their celebrity fans include Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Lopez, Lucy Liu, Jessica Simpson, Anne Hathaway, and Paris Hilton – just to name a few.
I’m a huge fan too…which is why I am so thrilled to announce that Spoiled Pretty is giving away three of their cosmetic bags! Yay!! Thank you, Felix Rey!!!
To enter the giveaway, visit the Felix Rey website and find out who the company is named after. Then send an email to spoiledprettycontests@gmail.com - be sure to include the answer and your full name. The subject line should read "Felix Rey Giveaway.”
The contest ends at 9 pm EST on Sunday, February 17th. Winners will be chosen at random from among the entrants. On Monday, February 18th, I’ll announce the winners' names. Please, only one comment per person; duplicate comments will not increase your chances of winning. Contest is open to U.S. & Canadian residents. Good luck!
I’ve finally found a use for that useless coin pocket on the front of your jeans. Turns out it’s the perfect way to keep my TINte* Moisturizing Lip Color on me at all times, right where it belongs.
Inspired by the creator’s first gloss encounter, this lip color is packaged in a retro slider tin; but the Shea butter and vitamin infused formula keeps it modern – and non-sticky.
TINte Moisturizing Lip Color is the ideal product for those days when you want to wear gloss, but your lips are begging for a balm.
Fergie fancies Peaches & Cream, while Sarah Jessica Parker prefers Cream Soda. Reese Witherspoon, Drew Barrymore, and I favor the Peppermint flavor.
* TINte products are tested on boys, never animals.
The Sex and the City movie trailer has finaly dropped - and though it reveals nothing, it provides just the fix we need until the film's May 2008 debut.
I realize that this Garnier Nutrisse ad has been out for a while...but, lately, it seems like it's everywhere. Maybe Garnier is trying to capitalize on the buzz surrounding the forthcoming SATC movie, or perhaps it's all just coincidence. What has me perplexed, though, is how this came to be an ad in the first place.
Don't get me wrong - I have no problem with Garnier; in fact, my husband is a big fan of their shampoo. My issue is that Sarah Jessica Parker looks so blah in this photo. The hair color is shiny and multidimensional - but it does nothing for her...in fact, it makes her look downright dowdy.
I think SJP is a talented actress, a smart entrepreneur, and a good role model for women. But at the same time, I think more women dream about being Carrie, her alter ego, than being like SJP. IMO, whovever made the decision to dye her hair this unflattering auburn shade has: a) poor taste and b) is completely out of touch with what women want.
Which leaves me wondering how much better Garnier's sales would be had they photographed SJP with her trademark cascade of blonde curls.
