In this month’s November issue of Allure get great tips on recession-proof beauty tips and products that are not a bank breaker. One of my favorite magazines for beauty. Allure is like the bible for beauty and fashion and Linda Wells is a big part of its success.

Check out those smoky eyes and flawless skin! Ooh la la…On this months cover is Eva Longoria looking so beautiful. Usually her make up tends to be a little too much but she looks just gorgeous.

GETTING YOUR EYELINER JUST RIGHT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE SOMETHING YOU DREAD. A FULLY RIMMED EYE ADDS MAJOR SEX APPEAL FOR A NIGHT OUT OR ANYTIME DEPENDING ON YOUR BEAUTY STYLE. RACHEL BILSONS EYELINER IS USUALLY FULLY RIMMED AND ALWAYS LOOKS GREAT. JESSICA STROUP SEEN HERE HAS DONE A FULL RIMMED EYE AND ADDED A FEW LASH CLUSTERS FOR OH-SOOO SEXY EYES.

LIQUID EYELINER CAN BE A BIT OF A MESS, BUT USING A DAMP EYELINER BRUSH WITH EYELINER SEALANT OR A GEL EYELINER CAN DO THE JOB JUST AS EASILY.

INSIDER TRICK: STAY IN LINE! START BY RIMMING YOUR EYES EITHER FREE HAND OR USING AN EYELINER STENCIL. GOOD FOR SMOKY EYES AND CAT EYES TOO. THE STENCILS DO THE WORK FOR YOU, SO CHANCES ARE YOU WON’T NEED TO CLEAN UP. IF YOU GO FREE HAND, USE A Q-TIP DIPPED IN EITHER EYE MAKE UP REMOVER OR MY FAVORITE, EYE CREAM AND GENTLY SMOOTH ALONG THE COLOR YOU WANT TO CLEAN UP. VOILA…PERFECT EYELINER!

Everyone wants Hilary Duffs Smoky Eyes

Madonna is no stranger when it comes to beauty and during the Hollywood concert stop on her Sticky and Sweet tour, she didn’t disappoint.

Her make-up was flawless, Cat eyes were purring with perfection, the music was great and her body looked amazing in this very sheer and fitted number she wore while doing a duet with Britney Spears.

Can we please talk about how sick her body looked..and I don’t mean in a bad way. Oh my gosh, can I have those legs please? But we have to credit where credit is due, this is a lady who has been taking care of herself and body for years. Even at 50 she still continues do all of the things that keep her in such amazing shape. She runs, does yoga, has a personal trainer, and like many of us who have hit 40+ has maybe dabbled in few other things as well:)

I was actually surprised to see Britney wearing so much clothing in comparison to Madonna who was in something so sheer. She welcomed Britney to the stage for a duet on “Human Nature.” It was so sweet to see them on stage together. Backstage before Britney joined Madonna one of our beauty spies  caught Britney giving her lips a swipe of shine with a bit of Chasing the Cash lip color. But wait she didn’t just stop there, out from her bag came her OMG! Eyeliner Kit which she quickly applied like a pro.

These ladies know no boundaries when it comes to feeling and looking beautiful!

TODAY I AM STOPPING BY THE SET OF SURVIVING SUBURBIA, A NEW SHOW ON THE CW NETWORK. THE SHOW STARS BOB SAGET AND CYNTHIA STEVENSON, AND TELLS THE STORY OF A COUPLE MARRIED FOR TWENTY YEARS WITH THREE TEENAGE KIDS LIVING IN SUBURBIA AND WHAT REALLY HAPPENS WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING.

I HAPPEN TO BE A HUGE FAN OF CYNTHIA STEVENSON. I LOVED HER AS THE MOM IN DEAD LIKE ME AND MOST RECENTLY AS A POLICE CHIEF AND MOM IN MEN IN TREES. HER CAREER HAS BEEN GOING STRONG FOR MANY, MANY YEARS AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HER ON SURVIVING SUBURBIA TOO.

MY MAIN REASON FOR STOPPING BY THE SET IS TO SAY HELLO TO MY NEW FRIEND PATTY BUNCH , AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST AND BUSIEST MAKE UP ARTIST’S IN HOLLYWOOD. PATTY’S WORK CAN BE SEEN EVERYWHERE, FROM ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITES WILL & GRACE, GREEK, BACK TO YOU, AND WHO CAN FORGET, EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND. ALSO WORKING WITH PATTY IS LAURIE HEAPS AN AMAZING HAIR STYLIST AND HAIR DEPARTMENT HEAD FOR SUBURBIA.

I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THEM BOTH AND GETTING THE SCOOP ON WHAT BEAUTY PRODUCTS THEY ARE USING ON SET. WHO WANTS A SMOKY EYE AND WHO WANTS A CAT EYE. WHAT THEY LOVE AND CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT SO I CAN SHARE IT WILL YOU!

OF COURSE ANY VISITS ON SET ARE ALWAYS ACCOMPANIED WITH A GET IN LINE EYELINER KIT AND WHATEVER GOODIES ARE AVAILABLE. WE DON’T MESS AROUND WHEN IT COMES TO BEAUTY LADIES.

Our readers have become so interested in our posts regarding Hilary Duff and her smoldering smoky eyes from the first one written back in November to the most recent blog, that we’ve decided to give them what they most request. Why the fascination with this particular celebrity? She does have a beautiful smile and yes her eyes are usually so pretty. For some reason women are just super curious as to how she and so many other celebrities get their smoky eyes to look so darn good.

One beauty tool that will create them is minutes is the Get in Line Eyeliner and Stencil Kit created by Beth herself, so you know it’s gonna do the job because she’s a make up artist who spends her days working and thinking of ways to make beauty fun and easy. Another great smoky eye kit is Stila’s Smoky Eye Palette, the newest, the Platinum. Both beth bender beauty and Stila have lots of color palettes to choose from so you’ll get exactly what you need to create sultry smoky eyes everytime.

To get Hilary’s eye popping purple style check out the newest palettes from Get in Line. For something different try OMG! or TDF. Seen on Dancing With The Stars and American Idol.

Oh how I love beauty, fashion and accessories! Just ask my make up draw that’s filled with beauty products and my closet that’s filled with clothing and shoes I just can’t part with. My boyfriend has discovered all of my secret hiding places and even that hasn’t stopped me from continuing to stimulate the economy:)

So was I excited when Splendicity re-launched on Monday? You bet I was. Even me a beauty blogger and make up artist, including my newest beauty blog Aging Fabulous can’t resist checking in with Splendicity every morning. It’s addicting and so much fun at the same time! Just think one site for all the best in beauty, fashion, celebrity style and great gift ideas for anytime. Now that’s what I call a dream come true and I am certain that you’ll agree.

Here’s to all of us shopaholics out there.
