Jamie Chung graces the small screen this Fall as the lead in the highly anticipated ABC Family show SAMURAI GIRL.

Samurai Girl is on September 5th, 6th and 7th on ABC Family, so make sure you watch it and let us know what you think.

The show revolves around Heaven (Chung), the adopted daughter of wealthy parents, who strives to balance a normal life with the Samurai traditions of her ancestors. The show premieres September 2008. Chung will next be seen starring in Twentieth Century Fox’s adventure film DRAGON BALL opposite Justin Chatwin and Emmy Rossum. Dragonball was originally published by Tokyo’s Jump Comics and adapted into graphic novels, video games and a highly-rated television series. James Wong will bring this successful Japanese cultural export to the silver screen and Stephen Chow will be producing. The film is set for release on April 8, 2009.

In this interview for Beauty Interviews Jamie talks to Marta Walsh about her roles in the Samurai Girl and Dragonball and shares some of her beauty secrets.

Can you tell us about some of the highlights of your career so far?
I started of with a soap opera. I really enjoyed my character it was very different from anything I’ve done before. It has a tragic life. My breakout role I believe would be Samurai Girl, it’s coming out September 5th, 6th and 7th and it has just been an amazing adventure. From kicking butt through martial arts, swinging the Samurai Katana sword, and learning the Samurai way. As well as emotionally growing as a character and as an actor. It has been fantastic. Also, Dragonball which comes out in April of 2009. I don’t know if you ever seen the cartoon, but it is based on a Dragonball series by Viz Media which has been a mega comic success in Japan, the Unites States, and internationally. Dragonball has a huge cult following. I got to play the role of Chi Chi which is Goku’s love interest played by Justin Chatwin. The movie was shot in Mexico City and in Durango City. Dragonball is my first motion picture deal, I never done anything like this before. It was pretty ecstatic to play these roles back to back.

What attracted you initially to this role?
Samurai Girl is making television history. It is the first Asian lead as well as a majority of Asian cast in a one hour drama, which was never done before. What really attracted me to the script is that it has a 19 year old girl who is forced to grow up and become an independent and a strong individual. It’s rare that you see an Asian or a female lead in general for young teenage girls to look up to.

How do you keep your hair so beautiful?
I use Matrix Shampoo and Conditioner. I always use Kerastase Ciment Thermique Leave In Reconstructing Milk for Weekend Hair, it is a leave in conditioner before you use a curling iron or blow drying.

What are some of your favorite skincare products?
Clinique Just For Eyes the cream as well as Clinique moisturizer and Shiseido moisturizer. I always put on an SPF that is very important. For my body I use SPF 70, I want to tan but I don’t want to get wrinkles.

How do you get your eye lashes long, full and sexy?
I religiously use Kiss Me Tube Mascara, it is brilliant.

What is your signature fragrance?
Dior Miss Dior Cherie.

What one beauty product we will always find in your purse?
My T. LeClerc powder. It is a French brand. It is really great. It is been around forever. As well as my sue uemura Eyelash Curler.

What is your number one beauty secret?
An under eye MAC concealer makes a huge difference and I always love coloring my eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil. Eyes are the first thing you are attracted to.

Which celebrities do you find most beautiful?
I love Leighton Meester from the hit TV show Gossip Girl and Sienna Miller.

What is your favorite way to relax?
I love getting massages, particularly a deep tissue massage and then going in a steam room. I also go for walks and hikes.

Which city do you love the most?
Paris. It is such a romantic city with a beautiful culture. I love the weather in LA, and the industry. It is always busy, and there is always something going on.

What one or two things some people may not know about Jamie Chung?
I love to keep it low key and I love going to nice restaurants. This is another thing I like about LA, it allows you to try new things.

What’s next for Jamie Chung?
Most actresses start of with romantic comedies or dramas and I also want to play in a romantic comedy. I want my character to fall in love. Romantic comedies are so much fun.

Eden and I chatted about her beauty secrets, being part of The World Patrol Kids as a child together with Natalie Portman, and why she is passionate about her new Internet series: Imaginary Bitches.

Imaginary Bitches is a web series created by Andrew Miller that premiered on May 2nd, 2008. 13 five-to-seven minute webisodes comprise season one. New episodes are released weekly on Friday nights at 11:00PM EST on the Imaginary Bitches Official Web Site, and on the Imaginary Bitches YouTube Partner Page.

The series tells the story of a single girl (Eden) who deals with the lonely reality that all her friends are in serious relationships by creating imaginary friends to talk to… who turn out to be serious bitches.

Eden Riegel was a pleasure to chat with. Eden is super sweet, intelligent, funny, and sexy. She is the kind of girl any guy would love to be with. I know she is married to director Andrew Miller. So Andrew, if you are reading this, you are a lucky man!

Here is a preview of my interview with Eden Riegel and her beauty secrets:

I keep my hair beautiful thanks to…
I use Kerastase, I’m addicted to it. Wonderful products. I use everything from the whole line. I would never ever use anything else. When I travel I take it with me. The water in New York is so different than in Los Angeles, but it works on both coasts and even abroad. And I just love when my hair is thicker, softer, and much more luminous. My favorite is the ole-relax line, the orange bottles.

My favorite skincare products are…
I recently started using products from Jan Mariniand I have never got so many compliments on my skin. She has some wonderful products, such her bioglycolic face wash that I use at night, vitamin C serum, and an anti-aging cream called: The Transformation Cream which is very emollient and lovely.

I get my eyelashes looking long, full, and sexy using…
I love this mascara called: Kiss Me. Other mascaras are too harsh for me, especially the waterproof ones. Kiss Me is water resistant but when you wash your face at night it just comes off so easily, it doesn’t dry out your lashes. Not only Kiss Me mascara makes my lashes thicker and longer but it also helps keep my eye lashes healthy.

The best lip-gloss I ever owned…
I love Pout. I carry it with me everywhere. They have funny names like: Squeeze My Loins, and Fluff My Feathers and, it’s sexy and fun. The colors are very natural but yet give your lips a boost and moist.

My number one beauty secret is…
I learned this from my grandmother, she is 98 years old, and she is gorgeous. She does all her gardening, cooking, and shopping. And she never ever stops laughing. So my my biggest beauty secret is just to be happy. Happy people age beautifully.
