Unfortunately, as we get older (even though we look much younger than our said years), our hands can give us away! TRAITORS…but don’t get your panties in a twist just yet…because now we have “Posh Potion of Youth” Hand and Nail Creme for younger, healthier looking hands and nails to keep our age defying secret!…Let Me At It, Girls…

Believe it or not I was also a Hand Model in New York and Los Angeles. I did ad campaigns for Blue Cross, Minute Rice, Sally Hansen Nails, Redbook Magazine, Karl Lagerfeld, the list goes on. My hands ROCKED…However, 2 kids later and lots of diaper changing made them look old fast! I hated my hands so much I stopped modeling them all together!

After using “Poshe Potion of Youth’s” fabulous hand creme for a solid week, I’ve already noticed an improvement in the texture of the skin on my hands! They look smoother. And yes girls, more youthful… The sleek bottle fits nicely into my purse so it can travel easily around town with me. The fragrance reminds me of sweet cherry lifesavers. I just want to bathe in it! This “Potion of Youth” was created to repair deep skin damage such as age spots and is formulated with age-defying Peptides that enhance and strengthen cell adhesion and actually promote the rebuilding of new organized collagen fibers in UV-damaged skin. All I can say is WOW…it also includes Anti-aging Retinol and Shea Butter which keeps the hands feeling soft and looking beautiful all while promoting healthy nail growth.

This 1.7 fluid oz bottle of magic costs about $40.00. However, if you visit their site now you will find this incredible hand creme on sale. But don’t wait…I have no idea how long it will last…

Other Poshe products include: Super-Fast Drying Topcoat, Fast Drying Basecoat, Nail-Strengthening Treatment Basecoat, Anti-Microbial Basecoat, Anti-Microbial Cuticle Oil, AHA Cuticle Care, and Polish Reviver. Almell Products, LTD are the makers of Poshe.

Here’s to “Healthy Happy Hands” to raise in cheer without FEAR…

Hugs as always,

This looks like it might be a wig, but either way I am loving this color on Eva Mendes. Seen here at the premiere of her latest flick, “The Spirit”. Her skin and makeup looks stunning, and I am loving her beautifully lined eyes. Ooh la la.

“Bold eyes are back” says my sister Beth, the Beauty Expert here at beautystylewatch. So if you were feeling like you might want to try a vibrant blue, or plum, go for it! You can keep the color close to the eyelid as seen here on Eva, or you can get a little more creative and go a little-smoky.

Beth’s Insider Tip to creating beautiful eyes: Start by applying color gradually and building to a thickness or depth you desire. If you are lining your eyes and add too much color, take a Q-tip and dip it in a bit of eye cream. The best way to carefully clean up without messing up your work. For smoky eyes, apply the color until you get the intensity you want and remember to blend.

The sisters are back from the most amazing AXEHair Product event of 2008. AXE Hair is the leader in men’s grooming products and they recently launched their new “Girl Approved” Hair Line.

We no sooner arrived at the huge glass windowed Prive Salon, located at 7373 Beverly Blvd. in Hollywood where we were greeted by the lovely rep from Edelman, Eileen. She whisked us over to the bar where we were greeted by 2 handsome Axe Models. Imagine my face when they asked me what I would like…well, I could think of many things…”but for now I’ll just have a blood orange martini…”

With cocktail in hand we began checking out the scene. One of the bartenders had Axe’s “Spiked-Up Look” Putty in his hair. Of course, I had to touch it…I couldn’t help myself…it was so soft to the touch. No crunchy, flaky gel to get that amazing guy spiked look! As on the scene Celebrity Stylist Diana Schmidtke would say, “guys need to put the gel down!” She’s the spokesperson for Axe’s New Line of no-fault men’s hair grooming.

Diana and I chatted about the problems men have with their hair and how AXE’s new line was created to help those males who weren’t fortunate enough to have a sister or mother to clue them in on the importance of “good hair.” We bonded immediately and laughed throughout our conversation. I loved this girl…she knew here stuff and was passionate about AXE’s New Line. She continued to tell me in detail why AXE’s new line was different from all the other men’s products out there.

Number one…all of AXE’s Grooming Products smell the same. This is an important factor for any man since he can be using up to 5 different scents daily including his after shave cologne. Ugh!!!!!!!!!!! A little too much scent if you ask me. This cuts down the amounts of daily scent!

Number two…hair product for men does not work well on wet hair. This accentuates a folically challenged male. Not good!!!

Number three…Axe’s new line is formulated to work best on damp or dry hair only. Never wet hair!

The Shampoo Line includes Axe De Glue Intense which is a shampoo & scrub to target all the “gunk” men put in their hair, AXE 2 in 1 Dual for those men on the run, AXE Anti-Dandruff 2 in 1 Armor with Zinc as the active ingredient, AXE Just Clean Primed shampoo for simple cleaning and softness, AXE Just Soft Lure conditioner, and AXE De-Poof Constrict shampoo to keep all men from having “Kramer” Hair…you know…Seinfeld’s crazy neighbor & friend…

And to give your hair that final touch before your girl touches it AXE has AXE Whatever Messy Look Paste, AXE Refined Clean-Cut Look Pomade, AXE Charged Spiked-Up Look Putty, and AXE Laid Back Shaggy Look Cream.

Your man can not go wrong with this line. And the price is perfect. Shampoos/Conditioners are $4.99 and the Gels/Pomades are $5.99.

Shark from NGTV.com having his hair shampooed with AXE De-Poof Constrict and let me tell you he had BIG HAIR…

AXE is manufactured by unilever whose mission is to add vitality to life. Heather Mitchell was the representative from the Chicago office. She was wonderful along with the rest of the gang!

Girls…if you want your man to smell good & have stylish hair without the gunk and goop, this is your product…

I am using my husband’s big head of Kramer hair to prove that AXE’s new line of “Girl Approved Hair” is approved by this girl…I have a feeling I won’t be the only one wanting to touch his hair…

Hugs…

Well, the sisters are on their way to a huge event tonight at Prive Salon in Hollywood. We get to learn all about AXE HAIR products and meet celebrity stylist Diane Schmidtke, whose clients include George Clooney (who I got to work with on ER) and Matt Damon. OOO…wouldn’t that be wonderful if those two hunks were there….

We’re so excited to have our hair twisted and shaped into something trendy…and ya gotta love the head and neck massage.

Check back tomorrow for our personal reviews on who was there, what was said, and what the hottest fashion of the night was…

Hugs…

* My Daughter Ella who at 6 already has it going on…

Have you always wanted to look like a celebrity even for a day??? Well, here’s your chance! Living large in Los Angeles always requires sunglasses. Celebrity & Famous Mom, Jenny McCarthy, calls her sunglasses “The New Mascara.” And believe me, the girl knows what she’s talking about. I love her!!!

When I’m looking for a new pair of sunglasses it takes me hours, sometimes days to find the perfect pair that will not only protect my eyes but will keep those sneaky crows feet from creeping up on my face when I’m not looking! My face is small and my nose is picky…no pun intended…but my sunglasses have to fit properly on my very sensitive nose and ears. Otherwise they don’t make Te-see’s final cut. And let’s not forget the price ladies. That’s a huge decision factor in my sunglasses hunt.

Today I was surfing the net as usual and flipped over a huge wave. When I resurfaced I saw this amazing sunglass site that not only has UV400 protection but hold on to your hats…it has style…and it is affordable!!!!!!!!! Most glasses are under $20.00. That’s right gals, you heard me…$20.00!

You can be a “rock’n roller,” “an aviator,” “a celebrity,” or just you…and because the price is right you can afford a style of sunglasses for all your moods.

The site is: www.sunglasswarehouse.com and it rocks! Here are just a few samples that made my left hand itch.

The Celebrity look # 509, black frame with rose lenses. The frame is also available in a black/green, black/orange, and black with smoke lenses. You need to check these out!

The Shield Aviator, a rounded one-piece shield lens with patterned detailing on the hinges and arms also available in brown, tortoise with maximum UVA & UVB protection.

SW Shield Style #46 is a simple retro aviator design that goes with just about any mood of the day.

What’s great about this site girls is that it is 100% guaranteed, no hassle return, and free shipping on orders over $25. So, you’ve got nothing to lose…

Again that’s www.sunglasswarehouse.com

Happy Shopping!

Well all, I have to tell you that I am what you call a “Bag Whore.” I love bags!!!!! Move over Emelda…I’ll take a good bag any day over shoes. (I prefer to be barefoot anyway) I found the hottest site for high end bags that have been seen in People Style Watch that will just make you whip out your plastic and start charging…It’s called aboutattitude.com.

I thought I’d died and gone to handbag heaven…

One bag is called “Cassady“…no, not named after Sonny & Cher’s daughter…It’s a light gold metallic with a zip top closure…to keep your daughters from stealing your make-up:), front & rear external pockets for mom’s on the go who need to carry small snacks, kleenex, wipes, etc…, an inside zip pocket, and “my personal favorite,” a cell phone pocket that is a must have for any gal. There’s nothing worse than searching for you phone while it rings endlessly.

The second bag I liked is called “Trina Tote.” This is kind of a Marc Jacob knock-off for a quarter of the price. However, really a knock-off of a “Mulberry Bag.” It has 2 compartments, 2 front zippered pockets, a rear pocket, and again that zip top closure to keep those little girls out and who ever else you’d prefer to keep out!

And last but not least…TE-SEE’S PICK OF THE WEEK…

Tweedy Pie Tote by Melissa Beth Designs. This is a must have for any business gal who is on the go and can not live without style. It’s a laptop tote/handbag! The laptop cover comes in a variety of beautiful satin fabric. It’s great for traveling and/or as a carry on bag for air travel. I’ve been searching for a bag like this and almost gave up hope! Thanks Melissa…mission accomplished…

To check out all of these fabulous bags, and I mean fabulous! Visit: aboutattitude.com

Happy shopping girls…

Kisses,

Hi all, Te-see here. I’ve been involved in fashion and beauty for over 20 years. I started out in front of the camera as a model and worked my way into film and television. Fashion trends have done a complete 180 since the 80′s. It seems that anything goes right now. But if I had my way shoulder pads will never come back into style.

I’ve traveled all over the world having my picture taken by many photographers. Some of the outfits were wonderful and some were…lets just say, not so wonderful. My hair has been twisted, teased and dyed all for the sake of Fashion & Beauty. In 1992, I decided to pack my bags and head to the west coast in pursuit of an acting career. That alone is a book waiting to happen. (Not to mention all the celebs I dated in NYC along the way) I did the “Hollywood” thang and once I got married it was no longer about me. I sort of got wrapped up in the mommy scene…who knew?…However, I still kept my sense of style because that you should never ever get rid of!

Recently, my sister Beth asked me to come on board as the style editor for beautystylewatch. It will be a challenge since I am juggling motherhood. However, I would like to think that I’m still quite fashionable and trendy for a mother of two!!

Check in with me weekly as I share with you “my must haves & must nots,” “my pic’s of the week,” “deals to die for,” and “celebs who know how to dress.”

Let me leave you with one thought…Here in Hollywood, nobody rolls out of bed looking fabulous. They all have a little help… Some more than others:)

Be apart of the fun. Get everything you need in beauty and style right here with the sisters at beautystylewatch.com. Fashion with a sense of humor…
