I am going to Bobbi Brown's studio in SoHo to interview Bobbi and have my make up done tomorrow morning.  Needless to say I am beyond excited; I've been obsessed with Bobbi since college and am so looking forward to meeting her!  In addition to preparing questions for the Make Up Guru, I've been testing out her new products in order to discuss them with her.  I just got three things from the limited edition Holiday collection (shown above).  My favorite is the "Night Sky" longwear eye palette compact with two gel liners and two shadows, each has a cap so it stays mess free.  I hate when wet liners smudge on the compact mirror.  I also got the lip gloss trio shades ranging from beige, bronze to sparkling pink- yummy!  The double decker lip and eye palette are flattering on any skintone and is perfect for traveling (yes, I brought it to New York with me!) and touch ups inflight. These limited edition items are fabulous stocking stuffers- there is something for everyone on my gift-giving list from the "Multi-Taskers" to the "Glamour Girls." (I am not giving any names so my girlfriends can be surprised when they receive theirs!) Check out the entire Holiday collection on Bobbi Brown.com-- they won't last long so order asap!

I thought it would be fun to let our readers ask Bobbi a few questions-- so if you have any questions for Bobbi Brown please leave them in comments!

YSL Beaute has launched its new lipstick with Kate Moss (if anyone doubted her staying power as a model, think again!). It just won the Allure Best Bright Lipstick Award for "Rouge Volupte- #10 Provocative Pink". The jury said "as smooth as silk, this hot pink makes our eyes seem brighter and our cheek rosier" .... very Voluptuous! I was just telling Couture Snob Heidi the other day that I am going to seek a bright pink lipstick for TV appearances, I feel like my nude shades are too washed out for the small screen :) I can't wait to try the Rouge Volupte next week in front of the camera in New York.

On Oct 29th, YSL Beaute website is featuring an exciting art contest : "Create your own YSL lipstick-inspired piece of art !". The winners will get a free ticket to NYC, a personalized makeup session with YSL artist and a selection of top products to bring back home. Check it out at YSL.com


Available for $34 at http://www.yslbeautyus.com/MAKE-UP-LIPS-LIPSTICK/c38_42_50/p374/ROUGE-VOLUPT%3cbr%3eSilky-Sensual-Radiant-Lipstick-SPF-15/product_info.html

Alternate Use for Conditioner - Shaving Cream!
By: Beauty Snob    7 days 9 hours 25 minutes ago

conditioners.jpg

This is a picture I took in my shower, these are reminent bottles of unused and half used conditioner.  The problem is, my husband doesn't use conditioner and he washes his hair everyday whereas I wash it every other day so the shampoo to conditioner usage ratio is totally thrown off.  So when I read somewhere that conditioner makes for a good shaving cream, I was all over it!  I immediately went to shave my legs using conditioner that I know I will never use on my hair, and guess what?  It works remarkably well.  Conditioner is full of oils so it is the perfect lubricant but if you think about it, it makes total sense because it softens the hair so when you shave, it is less coarse and easier on the razor.  It also leaves your legs super soft and polished.  I mean, yes, you do need to rinse well so it is a bit more work but if you are shaving in the shower, it is not a problem at all.  I still have quite a few years before this additional use will deplete my overloaded supply but at least I won't have to buy special shaving cream anymore!
