Beauty

Two weeks into my favorite gradual self tanner and I can finally say I'm ready to bare my skin for the spring and summer months. In fact, I'll be wearing a strapless dress to an event this Friday. When you have a little color, you have a bit more confidence — confidence to sport those shorter hem lengths. After all, self tanner does wonders for masking spider veins. Bronze me up, baby!

rosebrynehairOh, Rose. I love you. And your hair.

While bangs are still big for summer, I'm attempting to grow mine out. I am in the mood for a change.

I saw a similar style to this recently, though no bangs and more layers. I wish I would have taken a picture. It would have landed right in Edward Woody's chair.

Who knows what I will decide between now and my next hair cut. I'll be sure to keep you posted!

gemnoirjuliehewettWorking on the set of Pearl Harbor, Julie Hewett needed the perfect old fashion red lipstick, but with up-to-date and natural ingredients. So, she created her own!

What an honor it was to meet Julie Hewett in March at Jeffre Scott. She is not only a talented make-up artist, but also a genius cosmixologist. And, Julie is extremely personable to boot — you just want to sit down with her and get lost in conversation over a glass of wine. Oh the stories she could tell!

As a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, an honor and exceptional accomplishment, the Julie Hewett brand is down to earth goodness just as Julie herself. Come find your perfect shade of red lipstick — only at Jeffre Scott. I found mine, Gem Noir!
 
anisedandgWhen I saw this color for the first time, I knew I had to have it. The beautiful historic blue in a matte finish. Love!

Dolce & Gabbana Intense Nail Lacquer in Anise is more classic than trend. It's one of those colors you want around at any given moment.

It takes a few coats — three is optimum. And while it takes time to dry in between coats, the results are more than worth it.

Simple beauty that goes with everything.

 

 
duchesscindyLighten up!

As in lip color.

It's this time of year I reach for my spring favorites. And one of them is this shimmery coral lip gloss by Duchess Cosmetics. It smells delicious and I love the name, Cindy (as in Cindy Crawford).

Named after the mega supermodels of my younger years — Christy, Cindy, Claudia, Kate, Linda, Naomi — these highly pigmented glosses go on smooth and easy. They are infused with Vitamin E, and are paraben-, lanolin-, gluten- and cruelty free.

Pick your perfect Duchess color at Jeffre Scott!
