M.A.C. ONLINE

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

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

Estee Lauder and Executive Compensation

BC-Estee Lauder-Executive Compensation,0339
Estee Lauder CEO Lauder gets $9.1M in compensation

By BETSY VERECKEY
AP Business Writer
NEW YORK -- Cosmetics company Estee Lauder Cos. paid Chief Executive William P. Lauder $9.1 million in total compensation for the fiscal year ended June 30, up 11 percent from the year before, according to a regulatory filing.
Lauder's pay package included $1.5 million in base salary, flat from a year earlier, the company disclosed in a proxy filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. His bonus increased 41 percent to $3.1 million from $2.2 million a year earlier.
Lauder also received stock options and restricted stock valued at $4.45 million on the days they were granted.
Lauder received $63,623 in other compensation, which includes company contributions to a retirement plan, life insurance coverage and personal use of a company-leased auto or auto allowance.
The Associated Press calculations of total compensation include executives' salary, bonus, incentives, perks, above-market returns on deferred compensation and the estimated value of stock options and awards granted during the year. The calculations don't include changes in the present value of pension benefits, and they sometimes differ from the totals companies list in the summary compensation table of proxy statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
For 2008, the company's earnings rose 6 percent to $473.8 million, or $2.40 per share, from $449.2 million, or $2.16 per share last year. Revenue rose 14 percent to $2.01 billion from $1.76 billion last year.

'Ouchless' -- Goody Hair Products Rule!

I am very excited to write about some new hair products from Goody. For years Goody has been a leader in the hair care field. But the latest batch of products -- called 'ouchless' is designed to do just that. The clips and hairbands are extra gentle on the hair. I like the clip to the left. It's made from plastic and rubber and hasn't snagged a hair yet. I have thick hair and this clip seems to hold it fine. Buy your clip at Target, CVS or another mass retailer.
