It seems like everyone tuned in to see the Monica Lewinsky interview with Barbara Walters on 20/20 - and we all wanted to know what lipstick Monica was wearing and where can we get it! It was such a pretty shade! And what about the rest of her makeup? My sources tell me that her makeup was done by Denise Markey of Club Monaco Cosmetics; here are the colors and products (all from Club Monaco): Face: Oil Free Foundation, Concealer, Loose Powder, and Enhancer Powder Cheeks: Hint-Hint Cheek Color, with Twilight Cheek Color and Topaz Eye Color blended together for contour Lips: Bare Lip Liner around and over the entire lip. Glaze sheer Lip Color, with Cherub Lip Gloss blended through Eyes: Bronze Eye Color over the entire eye, Topaz Eye Color in the crease for definition and contour, and a little of the Topaz Eye Color under the eye, Black Mascara (water resistant) used on top and bottom lashes
For a list of Club Monaco locations, click on "stores" at their website http://www.clubmonaco.com/Navigation.html. The line is also sold at Sephora.com Spring is almost here, and I don't know about you, but my skin is ready for an overhaul. After months of miserable, rainy Oregon weather, my face looks about as fresh and smooth as a burlap bag! I've got a whole bathroom full of masks and scrubs - some good, some I should just throw away - but I wanted something new that is effective but also really gentle. To the rescue: Better Botanicals Refining Facial Mask ($17.50 for 2 ounce tube). I love this mask! Although it says "for combination/oily skin", I found it to be surprisingly gentle on my normal-to-dry but acne-prone skin. The clay isn't overly drying, and there are plant oils like neem (healing), lavender (soothing) and cucumber (refreshing) that leave the skin feeling fresh and comfortable. The first time I was able to take a bubble bath alone after having my baby, I used this mask and felt like a new woman afterwards! My blemishes looked less red, and my skin had a rested glow that definitely did not come from sleep! For regular maintenance of my newly smoothed complexion, I decided to also try Better Botanical's Clarifying Facial Scrub ($15 for 2 ounce tube). It has sandalwood, rose, and aloe to soothe, along with almond meal, pineapple, clay and honey to exfoliate. If you like a really gentle scrub or use a scrub every day, this is a nice choice because it's not overly "scrubby" - it's less grainy than most scrubs I've tried. For those times when you want a fresh face feeling without over-stimulating your skin, this scrub from Better Botanicals is worth trying. For more information on these and other products from Better Botanicals, visit their website at betterbotanicals.com, or their shop in Georgetown, Washington D.C. (call 1-888-BBHerbs for details). I've always thought Garden Botanika is one of the better but lesser known boutique lines around. They have some incredible skin care and bath goodies for really reasonable prices, and now you can even order online (gardenbotanika.com)! With so many products to try, I am beginning to steadily work my way through, starting this week with their Prefix Kit ($25). This collection of products are designed to improve your appearance before you apply your regular makeup. Here's what you get:
