May 2008

Tone (www.toneskincare.com) had a polished event on Monday evening in New York City, and One Tree Hill's Sophia Bush was keynote speaker. "You've always got to wash your face," she said. "That's a big thing. I should have a particular face wash I use but I don't. I just have to wash my face all the time, even if it's hand soap, even if I have to dilute shampoo with water when I'm at a hotel...whatever it is."(Okay, we mortals have diluted shampoo and slathered it on our faces, but it was comforting to hear that Ms. Bush does so as well).
If you're constructing a new closet for your insane amount of makeup, you may need to edit your strategy a bit. All the magazines point to seasonal makeup trends (remember, they need to ink some news!), but who's dictating your closet has to keep up? Case in point: the lipstick. Many women think lipstick colors are as seasonal as the episodes of Desperate Housewives. The general rule is that in the cooler months, the emphasis is on dark red tones. Warmer months bow down to lighter pink tones.
You love clean skin. You hate your veggies (well, who doesn't?) but you shop at Whole Foods. But how well do you know your cleanser? Seriously? One look at half the ingredients found in the standard bottle would make my cat run for the hills. Scary sounding ingredients like "parabens" and "diazolydinyl urea" make algorithms and calculus sound so easy.
Full of poise and a true lady, Holland Taylor is surely one of America's beloved actresses. Ever since she lit the silver screen with her role as Professor Stromwell in Legally Blonde, this lovely ageless actress is a joy to watch and a spirit to admire. Currently, she stars in Baby Mama which just rocked the box office a week ago. What are some of her favorite beauty products? You'll be surprised to find a lot of drugstore brands among them. "I love Maybelline mascara, always," she says. "The waterproof one. I've worn it for years. And also CoverGirl lipstick and Revlon lipstick in shade #413" ( that's the ‘Twinkled Pink' shade).
