I’M LOVING…Vaseline Intensive Care Spray Moisturizer Aloe Soothe – Spray & Go!

Vegas.

Fun on the heart, heavy on the wallet, and HELL on the skin.

I had such a ball hosting the red carpet for the North American Hairstylists Awards at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas this past Sunday in the aforementioned Las Vegas.

But my skin? Well, it didn’t have such a ball.

The morning after the big award show, my skin was ashy, dry and just sad looking.

Truth talk.

But, I was slated to wear a breezy short summer romper that day that would show off my legs and arms.
So, what’s a parched girl to do?

Well, lucky for me, I packed my Vaseline Intensive Care Spray Moisturizer Aloe Soothe ($6.49) in my bag and took it with me to the convention center for my brand meetings at Cosmoprof.

Vaseline Intensive Care Spray Moisturizer Aloe Soothe to the rescue in the desert!

I stepped outside and sprayed it on, and I was good to go in under 10 seconds. Best of all, you can hold the bottle any which direction, and with its 360-degree continuous spray technology, you’re covered. It’s the perfect moisturizer for the busy girl like me on the go. I mean, you literally just Spray and Go! Yep. It’s really that easy!

Spray and go! Instant hydration - without the mess - for dry desert days

So, how’s it work? Its unique fast to apply, quick to dry formula heals dry skin in seconds, and all without staining or sticking to your clothes. Plus, it’s good for us senstive-skinned sirens, which isn’t always easy to come by.

The final verdict? With micro-droplets of uber-hydrating Vaseline Jelly to heal dryness, my skin was glowing and soft in seconds, with no grease in sight.

Now, that’s a winning bet.

Dawn Do? Spray on Vaseline Intensive Care Spray Moisturizer Aloe Soothe, right after your nighttime bath on towel-dried skin for deeper absorption. And, during the day, spray on your moisturizer and then  rub in your favorite luminous bronzer for an instant glowing hue.

Ladies Who Lunch: Kissing Up with Italia Ricci of Chasing Life

What? Ladies Who Lunch Interview with Italia Ricci
When? August 14, 2014

Where? At the Wet n Wild More Kisses event at the Walgreen’s Hollywood Flagship Store

Who? Italia Ricci of ABC Family’s Chasing Life

Not only did I get to see my old friend, Fergie again (looking glamorous per usual) at the Wet n Wild More Kisses event at Walgreen’s a few weeks ago, but I also had the pleasure of getting to sit down and visit with a new friend, Italia Ricci of ABC Family’s Chasing Life as she donned her pretty pink in honor of the big event.

Fergie and Italia Ricci at the Wet n Wild More Kisses event at Walgreen's in Hollywood

Channeling Jackie O and laughing with her then-boyfriend, now fiancé (!!!) Robbie Amell  (of CW’s The Flash), I learned about her no-nonsense style, her color in a box (for real) and her intense gratitude for her fans. And let me tell you, the kissing going on outside wasn’t the only romance in the air. These guys are c-u-u-u-u-u-t-e! See for yourself.

DM: Well, hey Italia! Ok. Let’s start with the basics. When people ask you what you do for a living, what do you say?

Italia: I pretend.

DM: Got any nicknames ya wanna share?

Italia: Mom I get from a lot of my friends because I’m a mom. My boyfriend calls me Fatty because I eat like I’m a 9-year-old boy.

DM: I love it. What do you always carry in your purse?

Italia: I carry everything. Literally, if you were stranded on a desert island, you would want my purse. If someone’s like, “I’ve got a stain!” Don’t worry. Italia’s got Shout wipes. Shout wipes are very important. I’ve got a little leather bag with every single emergency pharmaceutical you would ever need. Antihistamine. Aspirin.

DM: So you ARE a mom. You really are.

Italia: Oh yeah. I’ve got the little bags in a giant tote – I’ve got my pharmacy one with like band-aids and everything you’d ever need – even blister covers! Then I’ve got the little sewing one with like tweezers and ear plugs, in case you need it. Eye drops. I literally have everything.

DM: Do you have makeup anywhere in there?

Italia: I mean, I didn’t do this today but I really only wear lipgloss and maybe mascara. But as a little kid, I was always obsessed with Wet n Wild clear lipgloss that tasted like watermelon. It was my very favorite.

DM: What is the best beauty advice you’ve ever received?

Italia: Less is more.

Italia effortlessly walking through the crowd at the Wet n Wild More Kisses event at Walgreen's

DM: Do you have any daily rituals – or, as I call them “daily delights,” that just make the day a little happier?

Italia: Respond to fan mail. Every day.

DM: What’s the worst beauty sin you ever committed?

Italia: Oh GOD. I tried that mayonnaise hair mask once. It didn’t go over well for me. But I do dye my hair out of a box. I did it with Frost and Glow this week Just the blonde one – the highlighting kit. Everyone was like, “Don’t do this. It’s a mistake.” I had the cap on and was like Wheeee! Everybody can do it. It’s like $12.

DM: What beauty products can you not live without?

Italia: Toothpaste. Sunscreen. And a round brush.

DM: I like the no-nonsense…and certainly not in my house. Don’t see that very often in this town. What’s your typical workout routine?

Italia: I occasionally work out. I do Cardio Barre. It’s amazing. I feel like a dancer. You don’t realize what a difference it’s making in your body until you’re looking in the mirror and you’re like, “Hey, butt, heyyyy-yyy.”

Italia’s boyfriend, Robbie Amell, interjects: And we walk everywhere.

Italia: And, welcome my boyfriend, Robbie Amell. He’s on Flash on the CW.”

DM: Now, that’s a supportive girlfriend! Giving you a promo during her interview. Niiiiiice. What do you wish you could tell 13-year-old you?

Robbie (laughing): If you could see a picture of 13-year-old her….

Italia: Take the dreadlocks out and stop practicing witchcraft.

DM: Seriously? I think there’s a story there. But that’s for another time. What would 13-year-old you think of your life now?

Robbie (laughing): No way!!

Italia: That will NEVER be my life. I wish that could happen! Yeah, “no way” is a good one.

DM: And, lastly, what would your theme song be?

Italia: Perfect Day by Hoku.

BF Asks: What question do you WISH I’d ask Italia? 

 

 

Primping with Dawn: Getting Glamorous with Fergie

Girls, let’s be honest. We all have girl crushes. You know the kind – the women we not only wish we were more like but the ones we would also love to be friends with and the ones we have no problem understanding how any man could fall in love with them.

Well, one of mine has always been Fergie.

Fergie gets glamorous at her Wet n Wild photo shoot on June 19th, 2014

She’s just that perfect mix of talented sexy-cute that the guys in my band used to say was the trifecta. At 39 years old, she exudes sex-appeal for the males and yet is also just the cutest thing to boot. Even those lines in her song, Glamorous, where she says “I still go to Taco Bell” and “After the show or after the grammys I like to go cool out with the family” are just further reminders of how approachable and down-to-earth she seems.
So when I had the opportunity to be one of only two tastemakers to meet with her a few weeks ago at the photo shoot for her new collection with Wet n Wild, I was plumb giddy. When I arrived, I not only got to meet the lady of the hour and play with the new products but I also got to meet her handsome husband, Josh Duhamel, and her adorable son, Axl.
I sat down one-on-one with the superwoman we call Fergie to ask her to spill her beauty secrets and favorite products. And spill, she did. It felt like two girlfriends chatting. One off the bucket list for sure.
DM: Okay, first of all. I just met your son. Um, he looks like a kewpie doll! He is perfect.
Fergie: (Laughing) I can’t argue with you. I’m his mom.
Can you imagine? “Um, my kid? Yeah, he’s okay.” Nope, he’s gorgeous.
Okay, speaking of gorgeous – let’s get primping. How do you have that skin? Please spill your skincare secrets for me – oh, and I guess I’ll share them with my readers, too.
First, every night, I always wash my face, brush my teeth and then always moisturize. Moisture. Moisture. Moisture. Under the eyes. On the neck. All over the face. SPF during the day.
I’m a big believer in moisture. And that’s why you have NO lines. Yep. What’s your morning routine?
I wake up and I pound almost two (16.9 oz) waters. I just down it. It gets everything flowing. Then I drink Kimberly Snyder’s Glowing Green Smoothie before anything else gets in my system, every day. It goes through your system and it’s hitting all of your organs before anything else. Do it before you digest anything else.
Yes ma’am. I’ll do anything if it means I can have skin that looks like that. What are 2 beauty products from your collection that you just can’t live your life without?
Wet n Wild Perfect Pout lip color in Fergie Daily. That’s why I named it that. It’s my go to nude. It’s easy. Anyone can wear it but I like to wear it everyday. It’s simple and it’s named after a fan club of my fans from Brazil. They made a website for me and, in English, the translation is “Fergie Daily.”
I love that you honor your fans by naming beauty products after them!
Yeah. I named products like Perfect Pout lip color in Bebot Love and my To Reflect Shimmer Palette in Carnaval in Rio for all the different places that I’ve been, the people that I’ve met and things that I’ve seen in my life. Every single name that I give to the products has a special meaning to me and that’s true. That’s not some line. I sit there and I name them all.

A few of Fergie's Faves from her Wet N Wild collection. And 5 lucky winners will win them! We'll announce the details on how to win NEXT Tuesday!

Ok, one more favorite? I know it’s hard to pick just two.
The most important is “Take on the Day” mattifying powder. It’s so important because in social media these days, you always have to be selfie-ready. And, for me, someone who moisturizes all the time, I need it for the T-zones and right around the nose, chin, and lip. Since I moisturize a lot, if I don’t put that mattifying powder on, it can look greasy. It’s important.
I love that powder! It really does mattify. Perfect for summer! So, what’s that nail color you’re rocking right now for summer?
It’s MegaLast Nail Color in I Need a Refresh-Mint. It’s this nice little blue that’s both bright and pastel. And it looks really good with a tan.
Yes, it does. Ok. Time for the good stuff.
What’s the best advice you were ever given?
Well, my dad would always say, “Success is in the journey.” It’s very much about living in the now. Don’t live in the future. Don’t live in the past. Live in the present. That’s why they call it the present because it’s a gift.
True that. What one word describes your current state?
I feel very zen at this moment.
What would you say is your greatest achievement thus far?
My son. He’s the love of my life. Both those men (my husband and my son) are the loves of my life.
What would 13 year old you think of you now?
“Wow! You’re a Mom!” (followed by laughter) “You’re actually a mom.”
**
Interviewer’s Note: I will say that since I interviewed Fergie, I have been pounding two waters every morning and adding a green juice to my day…just like Dr.Fergie prescribed. And I must say, y’all, my skin is looking glowing and glamorous. Additionally, I am ADDICTED to her Wet n Wild “Take on the Day” mattifying powder. It is the sweat-stopper in this summer heat.
Other Fergie for Wet’n’Wild products I’m loving? Her Take On The Day shadow primer, which keeps shadow from creasing and has a slight shimmer to it, her nail polish, appropriately named Glamorous which is a gold glitter nail polish which can be worn on its own or layered over your favorite shade, and the goooorgeous liquid cateye eyeliner she had on when I interviewed her which was Mega Liner Liquid Eyeliner in Indigo Blue – perfect with that nude lip she donned so beautifully.

 Now, go get yourself glamorous at your local drugstore.

Dawn

FabFitFun Friday: FabFitFun Summer VIP Box

When it comes to summer, I always think of packing for camp with trial-size beauty products. It was an exciting time for me because I was allowed to try new products that usually wouldn’t be an option. And, oh how I loved their cute little packaging!

FabFitFun Summer VIP Box - Make sure to sign up so you can start getting a box full of happies every 3 months!

Well, with FabFitFun VIP box ($49.99/every 3 months), any season can remind me of new summer beauty products! But while the packaging is super cute, the products are neither small nor trial size.

This was my second VIP box to enjoy and I enjoyed it even more than the first!

In this Summer VIP box came:

BF Asks: Which of these goodies would be your favorite? 

In-My-Tub-Tuesday: Pur-lisse Pur-Delicate Gentle Soy Milk Cleanser & Makeup Remover

I am a big fan of the VIP box from FabFitFun that I receive seasonally on my doorstep…but more on that later.

For now, I want to introduce you to what’s in my tub this Tuesday:

Pur-lisse Pur-Delicate Gentle Soy Milk Cleanser ($36)

The reason I mentioned the FabFitFun VIP box is because I received this scrumptious cleanser for sensitive skin in my summertime FabFitFun VIP box!

In-My-Tub-Tuesday: Pur-lisse Pur-Delicate Gently Soy Milk Cleanser & Makeup Remover

I mean, listen, as sensitive as I might be as a person, my skin is even more sensitive. That’s why many times so-called “sensitive” cleansers let me down.
But not this one. No way.

With its blue lotus, white tea, soy proteins, sea silk and lupine peptides, my skin is gently cleansed by its milk gel formula. It washes away dirt, makeup and the effects of the day and leaves my skin clean without feeling stripped or irritated. Plus, it feels like it’s actually soothing my skin which is just what us sensitive girls need at the end of a long day or first thing in the morning.

Honestly, I was surprised by how much I loved this cleanser as my skin felt soft, supple and silky…and, dare I say, SEXY!!!

 

xoxo,
BF

 

BF Asks: Do you have sensitive skin? If so, what’s your sensitive skin cleanser of choice?

FabFitFunFriday: Spring In Bloom!

Spring is in bloom, FabFitFun & BeautyFrosting readers, and it is beautiful! Seems like everywhere I look there are pretty pastel palettes. Lovely lilac, flirty fuchsia, ravishing rose, and brilliant blues are the perfect ways to pretty up this spring! Here are just a few of my pretty, pretty picks!

1) Aerin Spring Color Palette in Effortless Spring Radiance, $70

Who doesn’t want to look like the gorgeous Aerin Lauder? Well, now we can — or at least pretty up trying — with her new Spring Color Palette. Available in Garden in Bloom (neutral and fresh) and Garden at Dusk (bold and sultry), these palettes leave you looking as fresh as a rose. Beautiful for brunch or elegant for an evening out, the colorful case alone will give you a littlespring in your step!

2)  Too Faced The Secret to No Makeup Makeup palette, $39

This magical morning-after or morning-meeting makeup is just what you need to look bright-eyed and bushy-tailed early in the morning. It leaves you feeling polished and pretty without feeling made up. And the guide with 3 looks in 3 steps in under 3 minutes is a little Easter egg of its own! Before you can say Good morning,you’ll look like you’re ready to take on the day!

3) Essie Nail Polish in Splash of Grenadine, $8

A playful, lovely lilac-meets-magenta-pink that’s perfect for spring! For fingers or toes, this polish will delight you every time you catch a glimpse of it in the mirror. I just started singing I Feel Pretty looking at it right now. A crowd-pleaser for sure, be prepared for oodles of compliments and questions as to what shade you’re flaunting.

4) Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick in Fuchsia Flash Matte, $19

My go-to gorgeous color! When you need to brighten up or stand out in pics, this lipstick makes a statement! And what’s the statement, you ask? I am gorgeous! A true matte fuchsia with a powerful punch, this shade wears on and on. It wears so well that you’ll think you need to reapply until you look in the mirror and see that it hasn’t moved a bit, even if you’ve been moving all night long.

5) Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Lilac Rose, $42

As part of Bobbi’s new limited-edition Lilac Rose collection, this shimmer brick is a fresh take on spring florals. With five bars of light-reflecting, pearlescent shimmer, you have a sweet selection of bright pink, golden pink and icy pink pearl pigments at your fingertips. Use as a candlelit highlighter, a shimmering spring blush or as iridescent eyeshadow. It’s a multipurpose product that will make you feel as shimmering in spring as it is!

6) Le Métier de Beauté Indelible Inks Eyeliner in Artemis $28

This seductive sapphire liner does a lot more than most liners do. Its highly pigmented, no-budge recipe makes for a long-lasting sexy eye. Rain, tears, or dancing the night away, it ain’t movin’! Be sure to give it a few solid seconds to dry and it will wear on and on until you’re ready to take it off.

These pretty, pretty products will definitely put a little “Spring” in your step!

BF
