It’s Breast Cancer Awareness month aka BCA and the Estée Lauder Companies has many of your favorite beauty products designed especially to raise funds for the Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Research Fund. Last month during my visit to New York City during Fashion Week Spring 2010 I was given an incredible opportunity to participate in an Estée Lauder special Breast Cancer Awareness event. Listening to Evelyn Lauder’s speech and the rest of the Estée Lauder team I can’t tell you enough how passionate they are about the Breast Cancer cause!!

Here are highlights of some of the people involved in the Estée Lauder Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign and And Fundraising, and the beauty products you can purchase where portions of their proceeds go towards the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Megan Fox is gracing the cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine October 2009. Wait, it’s not October yet! Nonetheless, I don’t mind the sneak peek to Megan’s cover. I approve Megan’s hairstyle. You can never go wrong with straight smooth hair parted in the middle. I do it all the time, lol:)

Wonder how to get Megan Fox’s look on the cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine October 2009? Here are some tips! 

I detect grey nail polish. To get Megan Fox’s grey nails try MAC Hello Kitty Nail Polish in On The Prowl.

To get Megan Fox’s sexy long eye lashes try ÔSCILLATION POWERBOOSTER by Lancôme: A two-in-one vibrating lash primer and conditioner that boosts the appearance of lash growth. HYPNÔSE DRAMA Instant Full Body Volume Mascara by Lancôme: The ultimate instant-volume mascara for lash drama. I use both the lash primer and mascara by Lancôme and they work amazing in getting my lashes super long, full, and Hollywood worthy.

To add more drama and difintion to eyes use a black eye liner to upper lash line, and the corner of eyes try: Prescriptives NEW Longwear Kohl Liner in black hohl. Or, Givenchy Magic Kajal Eye Pencil in magic black.

Prescriptives NEW Comfort Cream has been re-formulated and is more soothing and calming than ever before. Comfort Cream is suitable for all sensitive skin types – including those with Rosacea – and immediately soothes and calms skin while providing intensive moisture. Skin moisturizers and naturally soothing plant and algae extracts help immediately relieve irritated skin that tends to be red and dehydrated. Over time, skin is less irritated and repaired so it always looks and feels its best.

Prescriptives NEW Comfort Night Repair Cream for Sensitive Skin: Prescriptives NEW Comfort Night works with skin’s night repair rhythms to help correct the appearance of skin damage and reduce the look of lines and wrinkles. Comfort Night hydrates skin with a luxurious, non-greasy treatment that infuses moisture into the skin while calming and soothing to decrease sensitivity and irritation. Skin wakes up nourished, hydrated, healthy… ready to face the day’s aggressors!

Availability: Beginning September 2009 at all Prescriptives counters nationwide, www.prescriptives.com  and Holt Renfrew in Canada.

Suggested Retail Prices:

Comfort Cream – $39.50 U.S. / $47.50 CAN
Comfort Night – $45.00 U.S. / $54.00 CAN

The night before the big Orphan premiere, Vera Farmiga visited the ARCONA facial studio in Santa Monica and received their signature Facial Contouring & Enzyme Peel – her skin glowed.

Vera Farmiga’s makeup look was created by celebrity makeup artist Tina Turnbow Inspired by Vera’s gorgeous ivory Versace gown and her beautiful glowing skin, Tina created a soft look using gold and peach tones, with a shot of orange on her lips.

Skin: Tina prepped Vera’s skin by first cleansing it with ARCONA’s Triad Pads. She then spritzed ARCONA’s Mineral Magic and applied ARCONA’s Peptide Hydrating Complex to hydrate her skin thoroughly. “I loved using ARCONA’s Mineral Magic on Vera’s skin. It gave it a nice luminescent quality!” said Tina.

Foundation: Because Vera’s skin had a natural glow, Tina kept the coverage to a minimum by using ARCONA’s Sunsations Mineral Makeup in Ivory Seychelles.

Cheeks: Tina used Tarte Cheek Stain in Tipsy to add light peach tones to her skin.

Undereye: Tina dabbed a bit of ARCONA’s Eye Dew to retain moisture. Eyeshadow & Liner: Tina created a dewy eye using gold and brown with Nars Duo Eye Shadow in Star Sailor. She then softly defined her eyes with Almay Blendable Eye Pencil in brown.

Mascara: For seductively lush and lengthy lashes, Tina applied Prescriptives Lash Envy mascara in brown.

Lips: Tina added a dash of color with a matte lip by Nars in Heat Wave.

All products are available at Beauty.com

About Tina Turnbow: No two faces are precisely alike, and each — whether belonging to an actor, socialite, model, editor, or bride — possesses a set of unique features that are meant to be illuminated, rather than wiped away. This is the belief that drives Tina Turnbow’s work as a makeup artist, and which has made her one of the most sought-after talents in the industry today. Tina has created looks for publications including Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, and Nylon. She also works with an ever-expanding list of celebrities including Leslie Mann, Ellen Page and Mary Louise Parker, among many others.

The Fall 2009 Color Collection is “Well-Suited” at Prescriptives: Tailored menswear-inspired looks are showing up in many Fall fashion collections.

Prescriptives Director of Color Artistry Jillian Veran explains how to achieve the sophisticated and tailored look of Well-Suited: “We all love a good lip gloss, but there is something incredibly feminine about the bold statement of a lipstick…in this collection the look of a creamy nude lipstick is accentuated by a strong eye liner…create a sharp straight line or a smudgy, sexy look, but either way you will want to line the inside rim for extra drama.”
