I met Jose Eber at his Two Rodeo salon in Beverly Hills when I got my makeover from Edgar. I was actually surprised to see him in the salon but little did I know, he is there almost everyday, so I told Cynthia, the manager, that I wanted to meet him and she was like, "yeah, go ahead, go say hi". Again, little did I know, he has no pretense and apparently does not know how majorly huge and famous he is - he is totally humble, perfectly charming and heart warmingly sincere. I went and introduced myself, talked about various things, including the very botched up haircut I got a few months ago and am waiting to grow it out. He immediately saw what the problem was, the layers on top were way too short, and offered to fix it for me ......HIMSELF!! Uh, I was like, I thought you don't take new clients anymore and only consult, but he said, "Of course I will do it for you darling. And you will look gorgeous because you are gorgeous". Wow, I was in love already, he didn't even have to fix my hair =) He is a firm believer in inner beauty and says his true talent is in knowing what his clients want. Of course, his talent for transforming that knowledge into gorgeous hair is what put him on the map.

This is a must have for the hot sweaty summer that is upon us. I plan on keeping these on hand to refresh my face and keep the pores clear. These Triad Pads are infused with a Cranberry toner to clean, hydrate and give you a healthy glow. It has a grainy texture to remove the grimy surface on your skin when you are hot. You know that yucky sticky feeling you have after the beach? If you cannot go right home and hit the shower, this will do the trick for sure. It will take off the old caked in sunscreen so it won't continue to work into those open pores created by the hot environment you're in. $30 at Arcona.com
In the movie The Devil Wears Prada what was the impossible task that Miranda Priestly ordered Andy to find for her twins?
Now that the warm weather is upon us, it’s time to put the cool, winter colors away and break out your warm, summery colors--beautiful bronzes, golds and corals. Just in time for summer, Dior is releasing its Goldrush collection. The collection features four new shades of Addict High Shine lipstick and 18-Karat versions of the 5-color eyeshadow palette and Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss in tan, shimmery gold and coral hues.
The collection also includes a limited-edition medallion that contains an all-over golden glow highlighter for the eyes, cheeks and lips. The compact is adorned with champagne crystals and a satin ribbon, what a fabulous little trinket to wear around the neck or tie on your bag! I love multi-purpose products like this. Beauty Snob tip- apply a dab of this on your bottom lip over your favorite lipstick or gloss. $55 at Dior counters nationwide, Christian Dior also at Sephora.com. (View the entire collection after the jump.)

Who played the love interest of Sandra Bullock in the movie Miss Congeniality?
As any pale girl knows, a safe faux-tan is hard to come by. From looking like an Umpa Lumba to being a streaky mess, I’ve been through it all (and multiple times)!
Luckily, this month M.A.C. has a new product, Skinsheen, that they’ve promised will bronze me to perfection. I hope they’re right, because the last thing I want is to look like a pasty mess my first weekend back out in the Hamptons!
Skinsheen is a smooth-on, gel-based bronzer that’s soft and mousse-like to apply. It comes in a range from Medium to Deep Dark and is priced at $22.50. M.A.C. suggests using their $52, 179 Body Buffer brush for the best application. While Skinsheen isn’t transfer-proof, it’s highly transfer resistant, so unless you’re overly moisturized, Skinsheen will stay on and not move. 
From my experience, it works best if you put it on naked (not moisturized), skin and don’t do it when you’re in too much of a rush, because you’ll have to wait a few minutes for it to dry before putting back on your clothes.
The new Mac Skinsheen is available as of this month at all M.A.C. locations and at www.maccosmetics.com. Try it and tells us about your experience!

If there’s one thing that Madonna is, it’s 50 and fabulous – am I right?? Not that I fool myself into believing that it comes easy to her. One look at her toned arms and I know this mama works for her bod and youthful face!
Luckily, the makeup maven behind Madonna’s new album cover, shuemura Artistic Director, Gina Brooke, gave us the low down on how to get Madonna’s look!
Brooke says that the Hard Candy cover was all about the eyes and that she was inspired by images taken in the sixties by photographer Sam Haskins (Cowboy Kate, Five Girls, and November Girls). All it takes is 4 easy steps and you may just come out looking like a modern version of a 60s superstar yourself!

This could not have come at a better time! My favorite bronzing lotion from True Blue Spa, Golden State, has been discontinued!! -gasp!- ...This left me to ponder what my legs would do without it when my last bottle runs out. Well, I have found a new and even better solution, All Over Bronzing Gel from Bobbi Brown! My legs have found their new best friend ♥.This stuff is magic when you need to show a little skin without blinding the room with your whiteness, and the color is so natural that everyone is going to think you spent the afternoon in St. Barts! I use it whenever I wear a dress because it gives my legs an instant color (and confidence) boost! And it doesn’t stop there, if it’s your first time on the beach this summer, this bronzer also has an SPF 15 rating…wow! This gel is SO much easier to rub in evenly than most of the other products on the market. If I was rating this product on a 1-10 scale, it would receive a 9 only because I wish the bottle came in a larger size. You need to try this!
Bobbi Brown All Over Bronzing Gel SPF 15- $25
Not all shades of nail polish have the versatility that I have seen from MAC Demi-Blanc. Demi-Blanc is translucent and iridescent, perfect for a shiny topcoat on your favorite summer shade or layered by itself for shimmery, natural looking nails. This shade is perfect for summer! Summer nails should either be bright and fun or natural, you can add Demi-Blanc to complete both looks =) …Almost year round, I cut my nails short and usually sport a light pink shade. But with beach weather here, you will find me in my bikini wearing this sexy, barely there shimmer!
