Anne Hathaway Covers Interview Magazine September Issue


I've been disappointed with many of the September issues this year.
But Anne Hathaway's Cover of Interview Magazine September 2011 is fabulous.


Just fabulous.
The amazing Mert & Marcus shot this gorgeous, moody story. Looking at these images, it is hard to even breathe. So beautiful.







My favorite fashion is daring. 
I love it as an art form.
I love It when people are able to interpret
thoughts and feelings on fabric. 
—Anne Hathaway


I think that when actors, are living very public lives, 
it affects your ability 
to get lost in their performances.—Anne Hathaway


Who needs to breathe anyway???

Charlotte Casiraghi Covers Vogue Paris September Issue

Wow!
The cover price of Vogue Paris has more than double this month. I wonder if we will be seeing this across the board with the big magazines?


Anyway, the price hike of Vogue Paris September 2011 issue is somewhat cushioned by a beautiful 23 page spread by Mario Testino featuring Charlotte Casiraghi, fourth in line to the throne of Monaco, daughter of Princess Caroline, granddaughter of Princess Grace.







Looking so like her mother at the same age, hopefully destined to walk a happier path...

Skin 2 Skin - Super Smart Anti Aging Skin Care

There's nothing quite like a sensational skin care line to make me swoon.


In my never ending quest to find exemplary, fast acting, result driven skin care lines I have come across a true gem in Skin 2 Skin.
The back-story on this one is the groundswell of Hollywood actors who not only swear by the line, but won't use anything else. That coupled with key makeup artists who are putting the entire cast of popular television shows onto the product, because the results are so astounding, no matter what your skin type - effectively had me at hello.

There was enough of a rumble in the makeup jungle that I had to get my hands on some and try it out for myself.


About the line:
Skin 2 Skin pushes the envelope to offer men and women the best of all worlds. Natural, certified organic extracts with the highest possible concentration of 21st century anti aging peptides and dermatologist recommended ingredients. Both men and women experience softer and healthier appearing skin the first time they use Skin 2 Skin. Within the first week the clarity and luminosity of the skin is nothing short of amazing.
I'm hooked.

The Story: (the short version...)

Skin 2 Skin was developed out of necessity. In November 2005 CEO and founder Ken Simpson was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Treatment included successful radiation of the tumor, but the three entry points for the radiation treatments were all directed at his head and face, including one directly under his eye.
The side effects to his skin were drastic and alarming - his skin became discolored, sore, raw, broken out, dry, overly sensitive and show extreme signs of accelerated aging.
With 20 years background in the skin care industry Ken had the knowledge and experience in formulations, ingredients, and functions of products, he began to seek out products that would not only protect his skin during radiation treatments, but also restore it.

With his extreme knowledge of the products on the market, he ascertained that
a) there was nothing out there that was going to work and
b) everything was either synthetic or a combination of synthetic and a small percentage of natural ingredients. They had low concentrations of 21st century peptide technology, or none at all, and
c)his skin was so damaged that only non toxic, natural ingredients would suffice.
d) he was going to have to create something new & utilize cutting edge technologies.

Consequently this amazing line is 100% Toxic Free, the ingredients are medical grade (that means power packed results), certified organic and biodegradable. There are no parabens, Petroleums, Phthatates, Sulfites
Mineral Oils, Synthetic Colors or Fragrances, PABA, and no animal ingredients or animal testing.

What does this mean for you and me? Very fast acting, result producing products that encompass healing, preventing and anti-aging features that will stop you in your tracks. Because they use medical grade ingredients the products are super potent - a little goes a long way. That translates to huge results from products that last longer than the rest. (saving you money)

In the short time that this incredible line has been available to the public it has won no fewer than 11 major beauty awards, and has built a huge, loyal following.

So lets look at the products:


So far I have been using



Oatmeal and Pomegranate Face Scrub

Normally I am not a fan of scrubs, but this one is a rich and creamy sulphate free scrub, that is very gentle yet still very effective. It doesn't strip or irritate the skin, but instead is moisturizing, is anti inflammatory and has very powerful anti-aging anti oxidants.
It tones, nourishes and moisturizes the skin while lifting away dead surface cells.







Anti Sagging Renewal Serum



The name is not so sexy - but then again, neither is sagging skin.
This powerhouse serum facilitates the overall production of Collagen, Collagen IV and Hyaluronic Acid, which strengthens the elasticity and tightens the skin, significantly reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
It also contains very powerful antioxidants.
Skin feels firmer, smoother and more robust, and results are clearly visible inside of 2 weeks.
Its fantastic.




 


Revitalizing Eye Gel




This one is anti inflammatory, so it reduces puffiness. It hydrates and nourishes, visibly brightens dark circles, and has powerful antioxidants. With continued use connective tissue shows long term increase, improving the most sever signs of aging.

Next on my uber coveted  product list I'm getting the White Tea Face Wash, White Tea Mask and the day and night creams.



There is a Sexy Skin Introductory Set available with trial sizes of the White Tea Wash, Aging Intervention Cream, Revitalizing Eye Gel and Anti Sagging Serum, that gives you a 30 day supply.
If you have young skin that shows no signs of aging yet, this line is the perfect way to keep your complexion looking youthful.
If your skin shows any signs of aging, no matter how faint or extreme this is your remedy.
On my next movie I am putting my entire cast on these products. They're just that outstanding.

But don't just take my word for it - Skin 2 Skin has been written up in magazines around the world, including
Allure, ELLE, W, and Shape. To see some of the press the line is getting, CLICK HERE
Love it.

Jessica Alba for Vogue Italia

This past weekend at a production meeting I was referencing a cool hairstyle I'd seen a while back in a Vogue Italia spread. We pulled the issue, and were quite shocked to see that the edgy-sexy-cool girl in the images was none other than Jessica Alba!



I'd never seen her look so hot before, so even though its from a back issue, I figured it was well worth revisiting.
Shot by the amazing Michelangelo di Battista for Vogue Italia April 2011, looking nothing like the girl next door (unless you live in Fiercetown), here is Jessica Alba:

How much hot can you handle??

5 Steps To Luscious Lips

Want your lips to look ultra lush and kissable?
Angelina Jolie and her world famous lips

Here are 5 Steps To Luscious Lips

1.) Exfoliate - gently!
Before you do anything else, gently exfoliate the dead skin from the surface of your lips.
Use an organic lip scrub such as Lip Tea Scrub from H.Wood Beauty, a wash cloth or a soft bristled toothbrush.

2.) Lip Balm
Use lip balm every night before bed, and first thing in the morning to help protect and hydrate the lip.
Any time you exfoliate your lips follow up with lip balm, and let it soak in before going to the next step.

3.) Use A Lip Primer
Dab on either a silicone gel or a cream primer to help fill in the lines around the lip and to keep your lips looking smooth.

4.) Liner
With a pencil the same color as your natural lip color, trace your mouth, starting in the middle and working your way out to the corners, using a lighter hand as you work your way out. Next fill your lip in with the pencil, using it as your color base.

5.) Color
Avoid pale or frosty shades and nudes that match your skin or are paler than your skin. If going for a flesh tone opt for a shade that has a little pink to it, and a little more depth than your own skin tone.
Dark shades will may your lips look small, overly matte finishes will make your lips look dry. Instead choose lipcolors with a sheen to them. Grapes and raspberries always look luscious and have sufficient blue undertones to really make your teeth look white.
Orange based lip color tends to make teeth look yellow.
Feeling tired? A bold pink or fuchsia will add an instant pop of life to your complexion.
