I wanted to share with you, my "online" friends, some of my girls who have great skin and know way more about make-up , beauty and skin care than I do.

So I've created a new series of posts called "Today's Beauty", that will look inside the cabinets, cosmetic bags of some of the most beautiful people I know, inside and out. ]

Garnier Fructis Pop-up store Paris - The Marais

16 Rue des Archives, Paris.
This appointment only salon is the first of its kind I’ve seen in Paris.

The store will only be “live” until Monday. But it gives Parisians and visitors alike the opportunity to discover all the Garnier hair products and get one-on-one advice from a Certified Beauty consultants on the products that are best suited for your hair-type.

This could possibly be a new trend by Cosmetics and Beauty companies to create stand-alone Brick and Mortar brand stores to introduce new products and also get direct contact with their present and future clients.

A very good marketing move.  Hopefully we’ll see more of these Beauty Pop-Up stores.

This morning I was so excited to be flipping through my October issue of Lucky Magazine when I saw tons of ads for various mascara brands.

Now I’m not a make-up junkie or beauty expert which is exactly why I’ve tried almost every single mascara known to man – sorry woman.  I’ve finally settled on the YSL, its my absolute favorite – and it cover my short eyelash complex.

I still however wear my store brand – Bourjours - sometimes as it give me very thick lashes too.

What Mascara works best for you?

Oh la la – Trendy Gourmandise you had me leave work at lunch time yesterday to go get this nail polish at H&M – so this post is for you, for inspiring me.

Thanks Johanna. mwha!

And thanks to my darling Kamila for the photos!

Is it even any surprise that Lady Gaga has her own lipstick from MAC cosmetics? The 23 year old singer/performer knows a thing or two about make-up and getting made up so it was only fitting that MAC capitalized on her popularity and fan base who so deperatly want those cotton candy pink lips too. The Viva Glam Gaga is from the collaboration with the singer and Cyndi Lauper, available in store this March.

MAC lipstick in Viva Glam Gaga, $14.

I know absolutely nothing, I confess, NOTHING about make-up. I wash my face everyday with Pears glycerin soap and moisturize with Cetaphil, and thats pretty much my beauty routine. Very blah, I know. But when I need to step it up, I call in the pro.

Which is why I know Segal Yehudai , and you should too, she’s THE support team…

She’s done work with a diverse range of clients (which proves her versatility to doll up any face and sculpt any head).

I mean from a music video directed by 50 Cents with Olivia, to work with A&E Television, VH1, and Fashion Shows such as Rebecca Dannanberg, Emmanuel Ungaro, Helmut Lang, Calvin Klein, Betsy Johnson, Fendi, Versace to even the UNICEF she’s done it.

She’s an awesome pal( ok, so I’m kinda boasting, LOL, but wouldn’t you?) and a truly great artist, these images are just a few of her work.

Contact Segal
Love, love, love – Jahaute!

And through the years as a child, adolescent and as a young adult I’ve experimented and changed my lotion so many times I could be a walking research lab. But Alas, I’ve found one lotion that actually works and doesn’t knock me out with the smell: Jergens Ultra Healing. It’s soft, without being slippery and you don’t feel like you have a second skin on. So if you’re like me, you know what to do.

Oh, and its really cheap, like $5 a 10once bottle!
Love, peace and ashyness no more!

Sorry this is the best pic I could find( its kinda blurry I know)
