PC #Giveaway: 4 Eucerin Products Perfect for Spring

This giveaway is now closed. Thank you for visiting!

Probably one of my favorite things about Eucerin (besides their great value and price) is that most of their body products are fragrance free and their packaging includes a 5 levels scale that ranges from Lightweight to Rich so you can see where the pendulum falls in thickness or heaviness before you purchase. As we head into spring, we’re giving away 4 of our favorites for the season — most of which include and SPF since while you should be wearing one year round, that especially holds true come spring and summer.

Eucerin giveaway

Coming Soon: Clinique CC Cream

Clinique CC Cream

Arriving at the London hotel amidst weather that can be best described as wretched, my skin was beyond dry and lacking luster for sure. At that moment the word radiant wouldn’t be in the top 20 adjectives to explain its lifelessness and being in my twenties that is a sad statement. Enter Clinique CC cream, a lightweight hydrating color corrector that is nothing short of magic in a bottle.

Allison_Tavi_KatieMARLO1

Upon walking into the Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center for the red carpet premiere of the documentary “MAKERS: Women Who Make America”, I immediately felt this a ridiculous fierce energy just knowing I was surrounded by some of the most groundbreaking women in America.  Proudly presented by PBS, AOL and Simple Facial Skincare, in walked the likes of Gloria Steinem, Allison Williams, Katie Couric, Amy Goodman, Marlo Thomas (alongside husband, Phil Donanhue) and Tavi Gevinson (to name a few).  As part of a sneak preview of the documentary, they let guests view the 1st hour and  part of the third.  The film is a unique initiative that documents the extraordinary impact women from all walks of life have made in America over the past 50 years. The ladies featured filled me with tears of inspiration and awe.

Mark your calendars (literally go get a pen!), MAKERS: Women Who Make America debuts on airs February 26, at 8PM on PBS.  Watch the preview here.

Talking beauty with Molly Sims

image040Recently I caught up with the ever so delightful model/actress (and new mom!), Molly Sims at BLOW salon in NYC for a special event hosted by Rembrandt and Neutrogena.  It was an evening filled with teeth whitening touch ups, hair blow-outs and mini makeovers by Neutrogena brand ambassador Amy Oresman.

While at the event I ran into Shy from the Beauty and the Feast Blog and together we took the opportunity to ask Mrs. Sims a few questions and get the 411 on her beauty essentials (and then of course I saw props and conned everyone into taking a funny pic).

Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy! How did your life change once you became a mother?

Molly Sims (MS): My showers got really short! I went from a 30 minute shower, which is terrible to admit, to like a two minute one. I used to have a lot more time on my hands, and now there’s

Gift Guide: Last minute gifts for him

For the stylish man that’s always on the go here are some of our favorites!

{Man about town}

1. Sennheiser Momentum headphones ($349.95) – Most high quality headphones these days seemed to be targeted for kids — huge logos, made of plastic and offered in a whole variety of colors. Don’t get us wrong we love those too, however Sennheiser is our top choice for a more grown up sense of style if you will, with metal and leather, they’re timeless and so chic on. It’s not overly branded and gaudy and offers great sound. It’s sturdy, solid feeling and a true comfortable over the ear fit that aren’t too tight even with glasses on.

2. myCharge portable phone chargers ($39.99 – $99.99) – They’re a lifesaver. If you’re constantly on the go and have chronic low-phone-bettery disease, then myCharge could change your life. Their battery paks last anywhere from 4 – 27 hours of talk time depending on the model.  myCharge is available for Blackberry, Motoaloa, Nokia, Samsung, iPhone and tablet users.
