No, I don't shake up a martini every morning, but I do make a cocktail of sorts during my daily getting-ready routine.
Throughout my time in the beauty scene, I've chatted with hairdressers galore and makeup artists aplenty. So, check out this list to see which professional beauty tidbits become such favorites, I now use them every single day:

It seems like the holidays keep getting bumped up earlier with each passing year. (
Target's holiday section was out in full force last week.) But when Chanel does it, somehow I'm ready to do eggnog shots if it means I'll get to play with new beauty goodies.
I had a chance to check out this new color collection, and while it's all pretty, these items wound up on my lusting-after list:
- Rouge Allure lipstick in Nude, a slightly shimmery, pale nude with just the slightest hint of peach.
As you may know, I often get to chat with makeup artists about what tricks they use to create beautiful makeup palettes. Continually, I hear about primers, primers, primers. And you know what?

"I've done full makeup in less than six minutes," Bruce Grayson said
when I interviewed the head of the Emmys makeup department. While many among us are used to doing our makeup in under six minutes — sometimes in a car mirror with screaming children — I thought you might like to know how a pro accomplishes such a thing. After all, unless you've got the paparazzi in the car behind you, your rush job isn't getting splashed across weekly tabs like Bruce's.
