How Lovely To Wear Mascara

Here's the first wave of "Spring Beauty" ads I did for Walmart/Revlon, Maybelline, Jergens, Neutrogena, Dove, Nexxus, etc, etc... "Happy Skin", "Happy Hair", and "Spring Colors".






It was pretty interesting to work with so many different clients at the same time. It was like an ad job on steroids, but I thoroughly enjoyed it! The director has a cooler version on the HSI productions website under "new work" if you care to go hunting for it!

Day N Night

Just a few things I'm obsessing over right now...

Scarlett Johansson on the cover of French Vogue


How freaking amazing does she look? As far as I'm concerned, she just regained HBIC status!

This is an amazing product! One of those things I wish I had thought of! Put it over a cream lip colour and take down the shine! I've been using it a lot over the past few days and I LOVE it!

I haven't used it long enough to experience the firming benefits, but the silky formula leaves skin hydrated with a very light, amazing scent. I tested it on my arm the other night and couldn't stop sniffing my skin! My fiance thought I was losing my mind. I kept saying "smell my arm!". Ok, crazy.

The nail varnish looks like it's straight off the Chanel runway, and the lipstick is very similar to Melrose Mood from the Heatherette collection (which was totally limited, and is TOTALLY gone!)

All In The Suit That You Wear

During the press for Scott Weiland's new record, and the Stone Temple Pilots reunion, we did a shoot for Inked magazine.




These photos were shot by Frank Ockenfels who is pretty much my hero! He's taken some of the most iconic music photographs of my generation. I plan to ask him for a bigger version of this...

Little Sister

Anyone who has read this blog for awhile knows what a huge fan I am of Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. In fact, a lot of people know now since I've been quoted about it in the new issue of In Style magazine.


They quote me as saying it's "as good as airbrush", but really, I think it's better!

Well, I didn't think it was possible, but Armani has managed to improve upon the greatest foundation around! Their new formula is called Lasting Silk UV Foundation, and it's the.best.EVER!


I tried the new foundation yesterday and was blown away! It glides on the skin just as beautifully as it's big sister, Luminous Silk, with the same (if not better) buildable and weightless colour. This formula is a semi-mat so it's not quite as dewey. Hard to believe, but it is also longer lasting! It has the same beautiful luminosity as it's predecessor, but I am loving the new texture! And, to top it all off, it has SPF 20 to protect your beautiful skin from the damaging effects of sun! Amazing!

Available in Europe in September, and I'm not sure when it will be available in the US, but I am looking in to it for you and I will keep you updated as soon as I have an answer!

Update: Armani tells me it will be available in the US on April 1st! Yay!

Everybody Knows She's A Femme Fatale

On the subject of nails... I've been in to pretty shiny metallics and glitters, but what about a matte polish? Karen O's favorite make up artist, Mike Potter, has started his own line of shine-less varnish, and I totally dig it!



Totally Victorian/Grunge/High Fashion/Rock N' Roll! They come in Black, Red, Pink, and Ivory. Check it out at koknockout.com.

Got Her Toes Done Up With Her Fingernails Matchin'

The amazing Miss Kimmie Kyees did my nails again!

(this "better" photo of my nails was requested by wordtoyourmoms.com)

This time she used Minx and Cal Gel... I've gotten comments on them all day!

To stay up to date on my nails and other totally NOT important things (that I can say in 140 characters or less), follow me on twitter!
