Formulated with luxuriously creamy hydrators and SPF 30 protection, Butter Hands is your secret weapon in the fight against signs of aging.
Marta also LOVES Miss Oops Pedicure In A Bottle, $18: this foot cream really turns my dry feet into a softer prettier version of themselves! It is an foot exfoliating cream and I like to use it daily for a cumulative effect. The smell is minty and fresh.
Michael Todd Cosmetics KNU Anti-Aging Tri Complex
Just tried and loved Michael Todd Cosmetics KNU Anti-Aging Tri Complex moisturizer, $130. It is THE perfect moisturizer for the cold and dry winter months because it is thick and super hydrating. Did you know that this cream has a high concentration of purified snail secretion? According to the Michael Todd website scientists have concluded that this same substance can aid many human skin disorders because of its regenerative properties. Who knew? I’m an Escargot fan, that means I eat snails. Really, I love Escargot. Does this also mean it’s good for me? Food for thought for sure. Nevertheless, my first reaction to KNU Anti-Aging Tri Complex was: “WOW”.
Erno Laszlo C-Peel
Masks and Exfoliators: I’m the exfoliating girl! I love to exfoliate my face often. I’m not sure how this is good for yourself but I’m just an amateur, remember? I like what I like. My latest love is Erno Laszlo C-Peel Two phase face exfoliator, $75. This exfoliating system smells amazing, the perfect zesty citrus scent. As soon as you apply Peel Phase 1 it feels soft and warm on skin. It didn’t irritate my skin at all (*note you might have different skin type than me! I tend to test on small area on my skin with new products to check how my skin reacts.) Phase 2 is the mask which leaves my skin super smooth. A must-have mask after a long night out or anytime you feel like giving your skin that little extra something.
Erno Laszlo C-Peel the official description on www.ernolaszlo.com: Purify, refine and replenish with Laszlo home spa treatments. Begin by sloughing off dead surface cells from head to toe, then finish off with one of our specialty masks to give your skin instant lift, radiance and glow.

Toni Collette at the 2010 Golden Globes
GET THE LOOK: Thanks to Celebrity Makeup Artist Gita Bass Talking Makeup has the scoop on how to get Toni Collette’s radiant look at the 67th Golden Globe Awards last night.
“For Toni Collette I combined warm healthy skin with a bronze metallic smoky eye and nude glossy lip” according to Gita. She prepped her eyes with AMOREPACIFIC Moisture Bound Intensive Vitalizing Eye Complex (available at Sephora.com) to reduce any puffiness and to ensure the concealer and shadow stay in place all night. To create the perfect canvas for a flawless radiant complexion, Gita prepped Toni’s skin with AMOREPACIFIC Moisture Bound Refreshing Hydra Gel. The whole look was set with AMOREPACIFIC Moisture Bound Skin Energy Spray for a final touch of hydration and staying power.
“I added a layer of La Mer’s The Body Crème to keep her skin looking glowing and radiant. To keep her face looking flawless I used The Radiant Concealer SPF 25 under her eyes and on any redness. I prepped her lips with the amazing La Mer Lip Balm to keep them full and hydrated all night long.” added Gita.
Danica Jardien Chooses Wrinkle System for Dark Circles
Danica Jardien is a Denver-based makeup artist with a resume most beauticians feign. Not only has she worked with President Barack Obama, but she’s also had the luxury of working with Tyra Banks. Danica is looked up to by many people for her thoughts on beauty and her continued studies on numerous products in the industry. She is a hard-working professional who is in touch with her fans on many of the top social networking sites such as Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook.
In a recent update to her popular YouTube Channel, Danica goes over the art of covering up dark circles. She starts off showing the viewers how she starts off with a concealer, and then discusses how she has finally found an eye serum that works wonders at reducing puffiness and dark circles.
This eye serum is called the “Dark Circle Serum,” and it’s made by Wrinkle System. The Dark Circle Serum is part of the popular “Two Minute Wrinkle Drill,” and if you follow the above link you can see Danica perform the entire routine, which starts off with a cleanser and also includes an anti-wrinkle solution.
Dark circles are caused by many factors, and they can be perceived by people in many ways – none are positive! Dark circles give off the notion that one leads an unhealthy lifestyle, does not sleep properly, or abuses drugs or alcohol. One cannot simply afford to have dark circles or puffy eyes, and for this reason, it’s important to watch Danica’s video.

Beauty Inspiration & The Look: “January’s Golden Globes makeup was all about taking a fresh approach to the classic red lip.”
Beauty Tip: “I used Le Blanc de CHANEL under her base to create luminous ‘glowing from the inside’ porcelain skin, then treated her lips with CHANEL Hydramax + Active Lip Treatment before applying CHANEL Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Paris – a gorgeous garnet red from a new lipstick line launching in March. I painted the finest black line on her upper lid with CHANEL Automatic Liquid Eyeliner in Noir and shaded under her eyes with CHANEL Intense Eye Pencil in Graphite in the outer corners. I finished her look by layering lots of different false eyelashes then added Exceptionnel de CHANEL Noir Obscur Mascara over the top for an intense black lash line.”

Her eyes were a combination of CHANEL Soft Touch Eyeshadows – in Jungle, Bois Bleu, and Le Bronze. I gave her a slightly dramatic look with two coats of CHANEL nimitable Mascara in Noir.
