Introducing M.A.C.'s new lip kits.

M.A.C. is offering a combo of lipsticks and glosses and brush sets. Brush sets are wonderful because they are great for travel. I saw these kits at the M.A.C. store on Columbus Ave. in New York City. 

I'm trying not to spend money these days or else I could have been convinced to buy one. Also, for some random the reason, the store was smelly.

Oh well. Bad news for M.A.C., good news for my wallet.

A Breakfast for Champions

Good morning! I'm so proud of my breakfast I had to post on it.

As you can see I had a small portion of raspberries and a cheesy egg. 

I used two eggs, a pinch of salt and pepper and two sprinkles of shredded cheese.

Total prep time: 5 minutes

Total enjoyment: Priceless

TAI LIP SHINE

Looking for a new fall lip shade? Check out this sexy bronze-y gloss from Three Custom Color Specialists. 

Three Custom never disappoints. 

But you can't judge the gloss from the packaging. Try it on. Many Three Custom glosses look intense, when really they are more sheer.

The 'other' Jessica

Dear readers,

This weekend I had the chance to celebrate my brother's wedding. It was a great weekend, and the most magnificent ceremony I have ever seen. 

Everyone, especially the Garret's bride Jessica looked radiant - smashing really.

One reason for everyone's glow -- the other Jessica. 

That's Trish McEvoy makeup artist extraordinaire. 

Jessica D'Agostino (see right).

There's nothing like having your hair and makeup done to lift your spirits and make you shine. Plus when a professional does your makeup and hair, it's one less thing you need to worry about, especially when under a time crunch.

When hiring a makeup artist, it is very important to find someone who will listen to you.  If he or she doesn't, don't hire them for your special day. Just don't.

My sister-in-law Jessica wanted to look very natural on her wedding day -- and she did. I wanted a more sexy look, and Jessica D'Agostino helped me accomplish that. When choosing an artist, don't settle. Also, don't forget about a trial. 

*You* can find Trish McEvoy artist Jessica D'Agostino by calling 201.417.6260

She is the best. 

Some popular Trish products:

1. Flawless concealer

2. Luminizer pen

3. Essential Pencil in Baby Pink

4. Beauty Boosting Gloss in Sexy Nude

5. High Volume Mascara

Leslie Blodgett is here!

Calling all Bare Minerals junkies.

Meet Bare Minerals guru Leslie Blodgett, today in NYC.

She will be meeting & mixing from 2-4 at the Times Square Sephora.

I met Leslie yesterday and she is a gem. She is a delightful person whose inner beauty matches her pretty face. 

I did a short interview with Leslie that I will be posting later this weekend. I'm a little busy right now because my baby brother Garret is getting married.

Congrats to Garret & Jessica!
