I interviewed make up artist Samantha Lennon for Beauty News NYC. Said Lennon,
If you have the best skin that you can have, the make up will look the best it can. Focus on getting your skin perfect first instead of layering on tons of product to mask a problem.

Read the interview I did with the ‘Remember the Daze’ cast.
How did you prepare for the film and get yourself into a 1999 frame of mind? It’s not like 1999 was that long ago, but times —the economy, the government, the culture—have changed radically, so it sometimes seems like forever ago.
Leighton: As far as performance, I didn’t prepare. I think the funniest line in the movie is, “Is Y2K gonna blow up the world?” Is that how we were thinking back then? I wore a purple jumper in the film and that was a real 1999 moment for me. And the French braid with pieces coming down. That is what I did to my hair back then. To be honest, I wasn’t the age that my character is at that time, obviously, so I didn’t pay too much attention. It was like a modern period piece.

Be sure to read my latest post on Beauty News NYC, ‘ROCK ‘N ROLL REGIMEN.’
When you’re a rock chick, be it performer or industry insider, you need to be able to wrestle in and out of those skintight leather pants, so smooth, creamy skin is an absolute must. The 1-2 punch of Gabriel Couzian’s Washing Oil and Highly Nourishing Body Cream will assist with such a task. With its crisp, clean scent and light texture that melts into your epidermis, the cleanser and cream combo will keep your skin softer than a baby’s rump.

Read my latest post for Beauty News NYC, March Best Bets.
Laura Mercier jumps on the mineral bandwagon this spring with an edited line of finely milled, shimmering Mineral Eye and Cheek Colours. Try Brilliant Quartz for a neutral daytime eye that lasts and lasts. Also new are a lovely selection of Faux Lashes, available in full, center or corner. Conveniently packaged with a mini lash adhesive (cleverly tinted black to disappear on lids), the lashes are simple to use but for expert application, visit Mercier’s new Lash Bar exclusively at Henri Bendel, 712 Fifth Avenue.

Hello Goodbye craft happy, colorful Japanese-style pop. If candy had a sound, this is what it would sound like. If you like feel-good, jumpy music, then your scent has to be just as bold and colorful, like Moschino’s flirty new citrus fresh Funny. This is both joyful music and a fragrance for the young, starry-eyed girl in all of us! Available at Sephora.

I interviewed Danna Homburger of Expert Electrolysis Inc. & Laser Hair Removal. Said Homburger,
Many of my clients tell me they would have a drink before waxing and do not find it necessary with the laser. There is no ripping or pulling. You do feel a heat sensation but the treatment is so quick, the average Brazilian can take a minimum of five minutes and is so tolerable. The benefit is enormous.

I interviewed make-up artist Paula Dorf for Beauty News NYC.
I don’t have to go through a team of people when I invent a product; I don’t have to go through a process. Also, my skin is very sensitive; if I touch it, it gets red. So, I try everything on myself when I make a product, for a month before it goes into production. I’m very fussy. Everything passes through me. I also like the specialty brand and having customer loyalty.

Here’s a new post on ‘The Best In Purple Lip Products.’
Dreamy, soft purples get plenty of real estate from Chanel. The Summer Plum Glossimer is a pinky plum infused with shimmer. Lilac Sky Crème Lipstick is a mauvey lavender, and the silky Surprise from the company’s Luminous Satin lipstick line, glides on like a balm, and coats lips in a kissable, feminine, lilac sheen.
