Last year or so, I was given an incredible chance to ask Heidi Klum some questions on her red carpet beauty secrets and Victoria’s Secret Beauty and makeup. I thought to share!

Marta Walsh: How do you decide on a hair style for the red carpet?
Heidi Klum: The dress inspires everything. I’ll put on the dress the day of the event and we’ll collaborate on what kind of hair and makeup will look best.

MW: In what way is red carpet makeup different than any other day or event?
HK: Red carpet beauty prep is a little different because you usually have more time to get ready and it HK: becomes a fun, girly event. We joke around and sip a little champagne. It’s really fun and festive. And, red carpet makeup can be a little bolder and more adventurous when you’re wearing a dramatic evening gown.

MW: Is there any beauty do’s or don’t’s before the big red carpet day?
HK: I try to live a healthy balanced life always, so I don’t do anything different before the big day. I think you get into trouble if you’re experimenting with crazy or drastic beauty treatments the day before!

But, I do like to have sun-kissed skin for the red carpet, so I apply Bare Bronze Gleaming Self Tan Tint mixed with Bare Bronze Daily Glow Moisturizer the day before. Top with a little Sexy Little Things Shimmer Powder and you’re glowing for the red carpet!

Heidi’s Red Carpet secrets are…

Victoria’s Secret Beauty Captures “Fragrance Of The Year” Award!

Sexy Little Things NOIR Eau de Parfum Takes Home 2009 Fifi. Victoria’s Secret Beauty Captures “Fragrance Of The Year” Award.

Victoria’s Secret Beauty was honored with a prestigious FiFi Award, considered the “Oscars” of the fragrance industry, at the 37th Annual Fragrance Foundation awards ceremony. Victoria’s Secret’s NOIR Eau de Parfum won Fragrance of the Year. This distinction, determined in part by the public, ranks NOIR among the
best fragrances in the U.S.

Shashi Batra, President of Victoria’s Secret Beauty stated, “We are thrilled that it was the consumers who voted to honor NOIR with this FiFi award.” “We are proud of our customers’ overwhelming positive response to NOIR. Not only did they honor us with this award, NOIR is the newest fragrance among the top ten best selling scents in the U.S. Thank you to our customers.”

Launched in January 2009, NOIR is a fruity, floral scent, targeted to the Victoria’s Secret consumer who strives to be playfully provocative, yet elegant. The fragrance is a blend of sparkling nectarine, sultry amber and exotic orchid.

Victoria’s Secret Supermodel Marisa Miller’s Eco-Friendly Earth Day tips!

1. Use cleaning products that aren’t full of chemicals. A clean house should smell like nothing-not yucky chemicals scented like lemon or pine forest. Remember, you are inhaling all these products and the air in your house can become even more polluted than the air outside.

2. An easy one that’s often overlooked-recycle and buy recycled products!

3. Use a Kleen Kanteen or Sigg bottle for water instead of plastic bottled water. I bought a pitcher filter for drinking water at my house and I fill up my Kleen Kanteen when I leave the house.
