The Girls in the BSW Beauty Dept.

Tomorrow night, Tuesday May 25, from 6 pm – 9 pm, Sephora located at the Century City Westfield Mall in Los Angeles, has been gracious enough to host a charity event that will benefit the Cardinal Manning Center, a homeless shelter on skid row.  Ten percent of all shopping done between those hours goes to help this center.  What a great way to get all the beauty products and supplies you need as well as give back to your community!

Sephora Gives Back To The Community!

Father’s Day is just around the corner…why not get the perfect gift for Dad and help the homeless stay safe and off the streets!

A little birdie told me that a few celebs might show up to help support the center…:)

At an Art of Elysium event in Cannes, Rachel Bilson showed off her signature sexy kohl-rimmed eyes. They always look perfect, and there is never a smudge in sight. If you’re thinking of going for this sultry look in the coming months, remember these tips for keeping it smudge-free.

First, if your lids are shiny, apply an eyeshadow primer along your top and bottom lashline before applying. A translucent powder is great for setting once you are  finished. You can also follow the steps below to create Rachel’s kohl liner which I have done a number of times and my eyes always look great.

To get the look, start by lining the rim of eyes and dotting in between lashes using a waterproof eyeliner pencil like benefit’s BADGal  Waterproof liner in black. This is probably the best waterproof liner for this type of look. You can smudge or leave alone, it’s up to you. Next, using an eyeliner stencil, place the stencil above your eye and with a small shadow brush apply color along line. Remove the stencil and repeat the same underneath the eye using the bottom eyeliner stencil.

To create a thicker line at the outer eye, go over the liner starting at the middle of eye and out towards the end. Set with an eyeliner sealant, or gel liner especially if it’s a hot day, or your eyelids tend to get shiny fast. To complete “Rachel Bilson’s Kohl-lined Eyes”, apply at least one generous coat of black mascara, starting at the base of lashes and working your way up to the ends . Maybelline’s Pulse Perfection Mascara works really well, and gets every lash.

Only a few years ago Bethenny Frankel, a personal chef, was bar hopping as a major player.  Then she met the man of her dreams…Jason Hoppy, also a player, and everything changed.  Fast forward to May 8, 2010…

Bethenny Frankel and Baby Bryn

Hoppy was sound asleep when Bethenny woke him up to say “the baby was coming.“  Mind you, they weren’t expecting her arrival for another 5 weeks…I guess little Bryn had had enough in there and wanted to be in the limelight like her mother…Needless to say, these soon to be parents had nothing ready for their hospital stay.  They arrived at a hospital in NYC, plastic bags in hand filled with Bethenny’s things and 26 hours later after a C-section, Bryn Casey Hoppy, joined New York City’s society!  She weighed 4 lbs. 12 oz., and after 4 days in the ICU followed her mom and dad home.

Proud parents Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy

According to Bethenny, she’s not concerned about her weight.  She told our NYC BSW reporter “that it would come right off.”

Good luck to Bethenny and Jason…wonder if being a mother will make her more tame on the show…we shall see!
