India Eisley at the Premiere of the Jonas Brothers event in Hollywood
India Eisley is a face you will be seeing lots and lots of. One of the stars on the New hit show ‘The Secret Life of the American Teenager’ , an ABC Family teen drama in which India plays the role of 13 year old Ashley Juergens. The show is getting rave reviews and was just picked up for another season.
India for those of you who don’t know is the daughter of actress Olivia Hussey and singer/actor David Glen Eisley. Both seasoned pros in the Business. This is India’s first breakout role and I have a feeling a very successful career lies ahead for her.
Seen here at the Los Angeles Premiere of ‘Jonas Brothers: 3D Concert Experience’ held at the El Capital Theatre on February 24th. India and I have become pals ever since she started using beth bender beauty products, and after meeting her for the first time I was stunned by how absolutely gorgeous and sweet she is.

I have been wanting to reach out to all of the teens who read our beauty blog, so today with the help of India we are premiering our latest installment to Beauty Style Watch called “Get India’s Look”. Twice a month we will be sharing tips for teens on how to get flawless skin, create perfect eyeliner, grooming your brows, choosing the right skin care, Best hair styles, and much more. India has been sweet enough to join in the fun and we are thrilled. So without further delay here is India’s first look….
GET THE LOOK: At the Jonas Brothers event India’s eyes were created using the Get In Line Eyeliner Stencil for a beautiful tight line around the eyes. A touch of golden-amber shadow was applied to the eyelids to bring out the color and give the eyes a pop. I like to use my fingers and apply color directly to the eyelid especially when I am using shimmers. Her flawless face was created using just a touch of cream foundation to even out her complexion, and a loose mineral powder foundation was dusted lightly over the the nose, forehead, and chin.
Sweet Cheeks blush in Baby was applied to the apple of India’s cheeks, and her lips got a touch of Tallulah High Shine Glam Gloss. All mom approved makeup for teenage girls.
Her eyebrows are so perfect and this is due to the fact that she leaves them alone and doesn’t over pluck. This is something young girls need to stay away from because a natural brow is so much nicer. Just pluck the hairs that grow outside of your natural brow and shape. If you aren’t sure, an eyebrow stencil is a great guide and tool for creating perfect brows. You can find them at most beauty supply stores, and at Sephora.
Lots of fun things to talk about so we hope you keep us on your beauty radar. Check back for more tips and looks from beth bender beauty & India Eisley.
Kisses from Hollywood:-)

I was not liking my hair color at all…and with curly hair your options for the smooth and silky look are limited…So, I picked up the phone and called my guy CJ Cassaday, Celebrity Stylist & Hair Guru at Gavert/Atelier Salon in Beverly Hills. He fit me into his busy schedule and told me not to worry.
CJ explained that Jonathan Castellanos was the best at creating browns and that he would be fixing my color first. After Jonathan was finished, CJ would then give me an Ionic Treatment. This would set my color and keep it looking shiny & healthy for several months. I said, “Do what you have to do…my hair is in your hands!”
And they did...

Peace, Love & Very Happy Hair…

Let’s talk girls…Pull up a chair and listen closely. There’s absolutely no rule that says, “just because you’re married with children that you have to stop looking HOT.” I am proud to report that I am 45 years young with a 6 year old daughter & a 10 year old son…And a husband who can’t keep his hands off of me! (even though sometimes I wish he would…) I am in better shape today then I was in my 20’s. And hotter then ever…well, at least that’s how I feel…
Here are a few helpful hints to keep you looking scrumptious & irresistible to your man…and this includes every type of woman. Because all of us are beautiful in our own special way…
1. Go through your closet NOW and pull anything & everything that makes you look dowdy. Can’t go it alone…then call your BFF, make apple martinis and do it together. No looking back girls…burn them…like yesterday’s news…
2. Okay, have a good cry…then move on.
3. Take the same BFF and go shopping!!! Help each other re-invent yourself and spice up your wardrobe.
4. Have a private Fashion Show in the wardrobe room. Get the other patrons & sales staff involved.
5. Next boost up your hair with a Natural Color Enhancement.
6. Learn the latest, hip make-up trends…(visit our site daily, it has loads of them!)
7. Finally, coordinate steps 3-6 and “YOU WILL BE ONE HOT MAMA.”
Remember girls…have fun and never look back. Who says “motherhood” can’t be sexy…Your husband will be rendered speechless.
Keep an eye out for my “Hot Mama Contest.” Coming soon…
Once you’ve had your remake we’ll want before & after photos to post.

So, what are you waiting for…
Peace, Love & Hot, Hot, Hot…

All the girls were there on Oscar night. Some looked amazing as they made their way down the red carpet, and others not so much. All in all still exciting to be a part of and to watch the evening unfold as it did.
Hair pulled away from the face or in a soft bun that lay at the nape of the neck seemed to be a popular look for many of the women. Ladies like Jennifer Aniston and Alicia Keys decided to let their locks down, while celebrities like Kate Winslet and Diane Lane went for a more sophisticated look.

Natalie Portman’s look was created by celebrity makeup artist
Jeanine Lobell who made her gorgeous golden brown eyes even more noticeable by applying
purple shadow above and below the lashline. She applied a thin line that rimmed the entire eye and a few coats of
Chanel Inimitable mascara. Her inspiration was the dress that Natalie had chosen to wear. “The color was such a gorgeous orchid, and being Rodarte, I wanted to do cool punk-rock, sexy make up” says Lobell. I would say she definitely saw her inspiration come to life in this extremely beautiful and star-stopping look.

Beyonce can rock the house, and rock some very sexy
cat eyes. We are just loving her eyes and her absolutely flawless face that she sported on the red carpet. A look that proves how striking
cat eyes when done right can create quite the stir. Beyonce was one of the first to score a
Get in Line Eyeliner and Stencil Kit and now she’s become a pro.
Sarah Jessica Parker’s look was in sync with her alter-ego Carrie Bradshaw of ‘Sex and The City’.
With luminous skin as the backdrop, her eyes took center-stage with
fully-rimmed eyeliner and a rich
gray eyeshadow that made her gorgeous green eyes pop even more.
Check out more celebrity beauty trends at this years Oscars tomorrow, and our first celebrity teen who will be showing us how she gets red carpet ready.

I know it’s hard to believe but Spring is just around the corner…we start to feel alive & invigorated! But the question running through all of our heads is “What can I do to look better”...Well, CJ Cassaday, stylist to the stars, has his weekly tips for you to contemplate…
We want a fresh look…believe it or not some easy and affordable ways to update your Spring look includes bangs! Yes, they are still alive and in fashion. However, it is the Spring trend to keep them soft & textured. “The most popular look seems to be shorter in the middle while tapering long towards the temple,” says CJ. It creates a more youthful look and less trips to the Doctor for Botox.

Length will be seen short and choppy bobs to ultra long locks with long layers & soft waves. If you are looking to freshen up your color why not try a “Twilight Gloss Treatment” to add some shimmer in the sun! Or why not spice it up with some beautiful tones to enhance your natural color. It’s not expensive and lasts 6-8 weeks.

CJ recommends Okara Shampoo & Conditioner, and Renee Furterer Leave-In Spray Conditioner with UV protectors built in to keep your color 70 % longer. “At Gavert/Atelier we have the Twilight Color Enhancement exclusivity. It’s a great way to keep your hair looking & staying healthy!”
Thanks, CJ…Love your hair tips, darling…
Call or visit their site: gavert/atelier and make sure you ask for CJ
Peace, Love & “Spring is in the Air Hair…”

The Oscars this year took a turn in fashion and trend. Almost all the Celebs were dressed in black strapless gowns with a few red and fuchsia thrown in for fun. I loved the simplicity. You know that old saying…”less is more…” proved to be the theme on The Red Carpet. There were a few that were ornate & a few that had too many ruffles for my taste.
Some of my Favs were:
Diane Lane looking ever so elegant in her slimming black gown, black clutch, and hair neatly swept up.

Viola Davis not only gave a heart filled performance in “Doubt” but she looked spectacular in her Golden gown. It sparkled against her dark skin.

Marissa Tomei (my cousin John Muldoon’s wife’s first cousin)…confusing isn’t it…looked glorious in her white gown that trailed a few feet behind her. I liked her side swept pony tail.

Angelina Jolie as always looked stunning in her simple black gown that fit her to a T. She has become very gracious in recent years and her elegance is quite apparent. The role of “motherhood” is definitely one that agrees with her…

And last but not least…Natalie Portman who was one of the few who actually wore any color. She looked stunning in her fuchsia gown. Her hair was elegantly swept up off her tiny face allowing all to see her delicate features.

Well, there you have it. So, much planning and poof…it’s over…I’m already thinking about next year…
Peace, Love & Hollywood…

This weekend was the Spa & Resort Expo at the LA Convention Center in downtown Los Angeles. There were so many beauty booths my head was spinning. I was in my kind of HEAVEN…I wanted to try everything!
Our first stop was to Pevonia Botanica where Beth & I received the most luscious Caviar Anti-Aging Hand Treatment. As you all know I was a hand model for 20 years and after 2 kids and a lot of diaper changes my hands…well, lets just say, “they aren’t so youthful looking any more…” Brooke Russell who works ‘Inside Sales’ at Pevonia West gave me the hand treatment of a life time!

Brooke first used an exfoliating scrub containing Jojoba beads to take off the dead skin & gently remove any impurities. Then she used a masque which visibly smooths and rejuvenates the skin. The key ingredients are called Caviar Filmo-Tech which include caviar & seaweed film. The final step was the hydrating moisturizer. Benefits include: deeply repairs & replenishes the skin, smooths wrinkles, visibly rejuvenates, and brightens skin tone.

(Te-see’s hands on left after treatment/Beth’s on the right)
Definitely saw a difference. My hands felt so soft all day long. I’m sure the caviar with the fish oils helped! It’s the new buzz on skin care.
Check out Pevonia and treat yourself to one of their fabulous Spa treatments and product…
Peace, Love & Caviar Hands…

Color, color, color! Nicole Miller was all about
dramatic blue eyes and makeup artist James Kaliardos created them using a gorgeous blue eye shadow. To get this
smoky eye look he had the help of
MAC Marine Blue Ultra Paint Stick. For anyone who is not familiar with these, they are just amazing. He finished by topping the eyes off with
Freshwater and
Atlantic Blue shadows to create intensity and depth. The result, an absolutely beautiful compliment to Nicole Miller’s Chic and feminine line for fall 2009.

At the Anna Sui Show Pat McGrath who is one of my favorite artists working in the industry today was backstage making sure each model looked stunning. Her talent as a makeup artist extends way beyond what she does during fashion week, and her vision of beauty is something that is truly a gift.
I always look forward to seeing her work at the shows, and especially love this look. Although the focus is on the cheeks, of course naturally I always go to the
eyes which in this case looked extremely alluring & sultry. Pat brightened up the models cheeks by using
Max Factor Color Genius Blush in Roses. She applied the color along the entire cheekbone which gave it a very flirty appeal. The smoky eyes were done using a
charcoal colored eyeshadow and lining the rims with a
waterproof Jetblack eyeliner. She added a wash of color underneath the eyes which gave them an even more seductive appeal.
What can we say…we just love beauty:-)
xx,
B

Let me tell you about an incredible mother’s journey with her son who was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 6. Her name is Wei. She was born and raised in China and then came to America to further her studies. Her eastern/western philosophies have helped her to create the most amazing skincare & beauty line on the market. All of her products are made with only natural ingredients.
Her son could not communicate with her & her husband and didn’t share their world. “He would love to just swing back & forth on his swing.” Since connecting with The Autism Treatment Center of America & Autism Speaks her son is now an active member of their family. Wei is so thankful that she has decided to give back to these organizations by creating the We Help Bring Hope line. The box includes: China Herbal Foaming Cleanser, China Herbal Youth Recaptured Serum, China Herbal Eyes Alive, China Herbal Ultimate Renewal, and White Lotus Defining Moment ( a $300.00 Value) for $70. Every penny goes to these organizations…WOW!
I’ve been using the line for several days now and love the way it smells & feels on my face. My skin looks more dewy which I LOVE! And when I watched her video I couldn’t help but cry. I think that what Wei is doing for her son and the autism community is just beautiful…
