A fun little (expensive) trip to Bergdorf Goodman...

What a beautiful day in NYC! Sunshine and cool breezes... One particular  breeze blew me right into Bergdorf while I was passing the time before an appt.  Ah... the smell of expensiveness wafted right up to my nosy nose as I made my way downstairs to the Beauty floor. Now as many of you know, Bergdorf's aint cheap and the products they carry are not your everyday Sephora brands.  As I came down the escalator, a lovely woman named Fifi stopped me and asked me if I had ever heard of Natura Bisse from Spain.  Well, being the beauty/skincare/makeup whore that I am, I gasped and said "No... but I would love to hear more about it!!"...  
The next 45 minutes was a blur, but I can tell you this. These products are absolutely luxurious. We tried creams and serums and eye creams and I finally fell in love with their Sheer Creme named the "The Cure".  It's an anti-aging moisturizer with SPF 20 and "self-adapting" pigment.  It looks like a foundation mousse and adds a hint of glowy color to your skin which is nice when you dont want to wear foundation at all.  The self adapting pigment works on every skin tone so keep that in mind.  
My skin can be very dry especially with the change of seasons and when I applied it, my skin brightened and thanked me dearly for the much need moisture.  It felt so good!  Now, I may have been hallucinating but I could have sworn my face plumped and looked ages younger but I have been known to imagine such things after an afternoon Pinot Grigio.
So, the kicker is that it costs.........wait for it...........wait for it................... 
$160 dollars!  YES.... I KNOW (stop yelling at me)!!! But I only have one face and I'm always ready for the next big thing even if it means I can't eat for a few weeks.. (thank God Im juice-fasting this week)!
Ok, so I will use my new Face care and will let you know the results over the next few weeks.  But remember, that is why Im here Glams! I am more than happy to be your Guinea pig when it comes to BEAUTY!!!  Stay tuned...

Armani rocks my world once again!!

Happy Friday everyone! Its a beautiful day here in New York City and Im loving the sunshine!  This weeks  makeup adventure included a shoot with the one an only Fran Lebowitz.  For those of you who aren't familiar, she is a best known for her sardonic social commentary on American life through her New York sensibilities and was a writer for Vanity Fair.  I had a great time with her as she is quite a character. We filmed as part of a documentary about her life in NY and the director was none other than Mr. Martin Scorsese. Yeah.. I know... Can you say WOW?  I dont have any pics yet but as soon I do I will post.
So we had a 4 hour break between scenes so I sauntered over to Saks Fifth Avenue to pick up my favorite foundation. GEORGIO ARMANI.  This is the foundation most respected in the industry and for good reason. It is just the best and feels amazing on your skin. It is silicon-based so it looks youthful when applied so be prepared for the oncoming compliments.  Now it ain't cheap by ANY means but SO WELL WORTH IT!! Best foundation hands-down.


I found my favorite eyebrow pencil ever! Yes ever! 
The Georgio Armani brow defining pencil is just... (shiver) awesome! Great staying power and smooth in application. Must-have!
I also picked up their Blushing fabric second skin blush which is creme based and ever-so-easy to apply. 
Now this product is great for those of you who want a very super-natural-just-came-in--from-the-cold-and-my-cheeks-are-rosy look. It truly blends in effortlessly and looks uber natural. Honestly its not my personal fave but I would recommend for the upcoming spring months.  Its a great product!
So if you haven't tried Armani, please do. They actually have some amazing products and I am a fan. Have a great weekend Glams!!

Chanel.... Enough Said.

Hey Glams!!

I am sooooo sorry it has been so long but I have had quite a busy few weeks! For one, my birthday was this past weekend and the week was chock full of festivities!

So .... While searching for my birthday dress in Lord & Taylors last week, I stopped off at the cosmetic counters ( as I always do) to see what new goodies I would find. I was drawn to the Chanel counter (as I always am) discovered my new 2 favorites items for fall. Now, I had heard about the Pro Lumiere foundation but for the past 2 years I have been a devoted Georgio Armani fan and wasn't quite ready to crossover. Well, much to my suprise, I tried it and wow... what fantastic coverage! I was flawless!!! It goes on silky smooth like Armani but gave me full, natural coverage with a slight sheen. I am now a fan! Check it out here:

CHANEL Pro Lumiere

Now on to my other fantastic discovery.... Chanels' Luminous Satin Lip Lacquer. This classy black tube would appear to be a lip gloss but it goes on like a lipstick. Truly. At first I was hesitant because I have been wearing NARS orgasm for 6 years now no matter how many different shades I try. The Chanel colors were gorgeous and since we have approached Fall, I figured it was time to try something lush and deep so I went for the Mandarin shade and pow, I had gorgeous lips with serious staying power. I even wore it on my birthday so you know I trusted it (wink). I will now be wearing it at every opportunity and wow did I feel SUPAHSEXY and honestly, who doesn't need a little of that every so often. Now, it aint cheap at $38 but trust me, it will not disappoint.
