Madonna in Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2009-2010 Ad Campaign
Just came across Madonna’s latest photo from her Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2009-2010 Ad Campaign. It doesn’t look like Madonna and she appears a bit lifeless, a dall maybe. The only thing that suggests she is somewhat normal is her makeup. And where are Madonna’s nails (Can you see them?) I say, and I take Borat’s words, “Not So Much…”:)
What do you think? Am I right or not? Do you relate to this ad?

Give Nails an OPI “Bubble Bath” to Support Look Good…Feel Better
We all love those summer manis and pedis, but wouldn’t they be even sweeter if you knew you were helping someone else simply by picking up a bottle of your favorite nail lacquer?
Look Good…Feel Better, a national public service program that helps women cope with appearance-related changes from cancer treatment, and OPI, the world leader in professional nail care, are both celebrating their 20th anniversaries this year; OPI launched its nail lacquers 20 years ago, the same year Look Good…Feel Better conducted its first workshop. To celebrate, the two organizations are launching a new summer promotion that truly makes a difference.
During July and August, OPI will contribute a portion of the proceeds of every bottle of its top-selling Bubble Bath (who doesn’t love Bubble Bath?) Nail Lacquer sold, with a minimum contribution of $25,000, to Look Good…Feel Better.
Bobbi Brown interview with Marta Walsh
A year or so ago, I was given an amazing opportunity to interview Bobbi Brown, founder of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics. I would love to share my interview with Bobbi with you, just in case you’ve missed it:)
Bobbi Brown is the queen of makeup. Not only has she worked with an endless list of celebrities as a makeup artist, she is also the brilliant mind behind the ever popular Bobbi Brown Cosmetics. Find out what it takes to be Bobbi Brown!
Bobbi Brown
Marta Walsh: When did your interest in makeup begin?
Bobbi Brown: Ever since I was a little girl I was interested in makeup. I used to watch my mother put on her white eye shadow and pale pink lipstick in amazement. When I was young I would paint all of my dolls’ faces with makeup, pretending they were real people.
MW: What was your biggest break as a professional makeup artist?
BB: Landing my first Vogue cover with Naomi Campbell.
MW: How was the concept for Bobbi Brown Cosmetics born?
BB: I wanted to create brown-based lipsticks (10) that actually flattered women’s lips, rather than looking fake and garish.
Bobbi Brown Nude Collection
I love wearing nude makeup all year around and especially in summer. This is why I’m so excited about Bobbi Brown’s latest nude makeup collection. What’s so great about nude makeup? Well, I can wear it during the day at work all the way into dinner time. It looks clean, soft, and neutral (goes with any outfit). I can’t never get tired of the nude makeup look!
Here the highlights:
Bobbi Brown Nude Eye Palette: Bobbi Brown’s newest take on nude makeup—a concept she created. ‘Nude makeup doesn’t mean monochromatic, barely-there makeup. It means makeup that’s right for your skin,’ says Bobbi.
Fall’s must-have eye palette takes you effortlessly from day to night with a sophisticated and universally flattering selection of nude shadows in three different textures: soft matte, lightly pearlized and metallic high-shimmer. Three eyeshadow duos come in a customizable 3-Pan Palette, which can also be filled with your choice of any Bobbi Brown eyeshadow or blush shades. Color duos included are Navajo/Pebble, Chino/Beige Linen Wash and Maple Sugar/Caviar. All shades exclusive to this set. SRP: $60.

Marta Loves Maybelline:Lash Discovery & waterproof liquid eyeliner
I’m SO excited because I just found (well thanks to my intern Meryl) more amazing products from Maybelline: Maybelline Lash Discovery Mini-Brush Mascara & Maybelline waterproof liquid eyeliner.
Maybelline is incredible with mascaras, I love all of them really, but Maybelline Lash Discovery Mini-Brush Mascara is a bit different because its lash-catching mini-brush which allows me to get all of those hard to catch lashes. Talking about precision application! The icing on the cake: it also lengthens my lashes. LOVE!
Maybelline Lash Discovery Mini-Brush Mascara is Marta’s great discovery!
I love liquid eye liners! You might ask yourself what’s the difference between a pencil eye liner and a liquid eye liner? Well, to me a liquid eye liner gives me more dramatic long lasting results. It allows me to get that ‘winged-out’ effect on my eyes in great definition and accuracy, without smudging. You get a sharp clean line!
