At last night’s Oscars, Best Supporting Actress Nominee Anna Kendrick glowed in shades of pink and coral. (How totally trendy! These sisters love the way she dazzled!) Celebrity makeup artist Sara Glick created the Up In The Air star’s look with products by Arcona Skincare and tarte cosmetics. Here’s how to get it:

Get the Look: Anna Kendrick, Oscars 2010

Inspiration: Youthful, ethereal beauty—think soft, natural glowing skin.

1.) Prep: Anna’s skin was prepped with Arcona Skincare’s Magic White Ice to protect, nourish and hydrate. White Ice is a light, all natural moisturizer that helped the star stay hydrated.

2.) Cheeks: Anna’s cheek bones were accented with tarte’s natural cheek stain in eco-cheek, a coral shade. Glick dabbed and blended the stain on Anna’s cheek bones for a natural flush.

3.) Lips: Glick wanted to create a soft, healthy pink lip with a touch of shine. She used tarte’s lipsurgence natural lip stain in charmed (light pink) as a base. She topped the stain with tarte’s double-ended natural lip gloss in jake & samantha (using the samantha side- a pale cotton candy pink) for added shine.

4.) Finish: Glick set the look with Arcona’s Lavender Hydrasol for a fresh and dewy complexion and an extra dose of calming with aromatherapy.

The countdown is on to February 14th. Whether you’re sharing the day with close friends, or you’re prepping for a romantic rendezvous with your sweetheart, you’ll want to get decked out in your Valentine’s Day best.

From sexy hair and makeup to sensual scents, The Celebutante Sisters have a slew of beauty and fashion products that will make your heart go pitter-patter! Cupid, get your arrow ready!

Zeno Hot Spot

It happens to the best of us. One minute your face is clean and clear. The next…acne appears! What do you do with days, or even hours, to spare before Valentine’s Day? Zap that zit with the Zeno Hot Spot. It’s an FDA approved, over the counter, blemish-clearing breakthrough. When we read about this pocket-sized device, it almost sounded too good to be true: some users saw visible results within one hour! It also claims to eliminate or significantly reduce 90% of blemishes within 24 hours. We were actually a bit excited when a pimple popped up. (Shhhh)

Here’s how it works. Turn the device on and hold the treatment tip to the affected area for two and a half minutes. (It’s light, so your arm won’t hurt. Promise.) Every 30 seconds, the Hot Spot will beep. That way, you can keep tabs on how much time is left. As the clock ticks, a gentle heat will kill the bacteria that causes pimples in the first place. BAM!

We never felt a burning sensation on our skin. The treatment tip was always a very comfortable temperature. And when it came to zits, we did see a difference! In fact, the Zeno Hot Spot cleared up most mild blemishes in just one day. Spot treat early and you may only need to use the device once, as opposed to two or three times per pimple! Plus, at $39.99, it costs much less than many other pricey beauty treatments out there. The results will be different for everyone, but the Zeno makes us feel like superheroes in the fight against acne.

philosophy flirty girl set

Our philosophy is simple: a fabulous shower or bath, with a set of rich and moisturizing beauty products, is the perfect pick-me-up in the morning!

On Valentine’s Day, unleash your inner flirty girl with philosophy’s flirty girl set. From the cute-as-pie packaging to the pink, bubble gum colored products…we just want to blow kisses at this trio of goodies!

Open the box to find a 3-in-one shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath, as well as body lotion and high-shine lip gloss. Its sweet, candy scent is soft, but not overpowering.

We used flirty girl in our hair and on our skin. The lather was luxurious. By applying the lotion afterward, we locked in the flirty fragrance for hours. Plus, it left our skin feeling silky smooth…not greasy! If you’re looking for just a hint of pink tint on your lips, this high shine lip gloss will be a staple in your beauty bag. We loved using it alone for a glittery-glamour boost, but also layered it over lipstick for some added shine. MWAH!

hairdo by Ken Paves & Jessica Simpson 18" Pony Tail

Who says come-hither hair has to take hours? Pull your strands back in a pony and pull together any Valentine’s outfit in an instant.

Many of us would love to have a long, poufy pony, but it isn’t always easy to grow out your mane! Clip in this hairdo 18” ponytail by Ken Paves & Jessica Simpson and add volume to your locks in minutes flat.

Simply slide the hairdo comb into the top of your own ponytail and wrap the extra section of hair around the top. You can even style the clip-in by curling or crimping it. If it’s too long…cut it! You are the stylist!

The best part? Hairdo cut down our beauty routine! We are used to drying and straightening our hair. This can take up to 30 minutes. We clipped the comb in when our hair was still wet and let it dry naturally. (Now, we can really let our mane heal and grow!)

The hairdo we tried is synthetic, but truly looks real. The key is taking care of it. It’s important to brush it out a few times during the day, as well as when you take it out at night. Also, store it somewhere safe. (Like the handy dandy netting it comes with.) The more we wear the hair, the more we notice pieces falling out, but that comes with the territory. It still looks fabulous and is definitely a DO in our beauty book!

We feel like Goldilocks. Sometimes, foundation can be too heavy for our skin. Other times, a simple sweep of moisturizer doesn’t provide enough coverage. The Celebutante Sisters found something that’s just right: tarte smooth operator oil-free tinted moisturizer with spf 20.

The company’s best seller is back with 5 brand spanking new shades. Now, with nine shades in all, it’s easier than ever to find the bottle that works best for you.

The formula may look thick in the container, but once you whip it in your hands, the light as fluff lotion turns into sheer bliss on your skin.

We smoothed smooth operator evenly over our face. One thing is for sure…it made our skin feel moisturized! Must be tarte’s special mix of skinvigorating™ ingredients: things like vitamins A, C, and E, rosemary, lemon and apple extract.

The formula’s thin wash of color provided the perfect base for our makeup. By filling in small, fine lines, it also made it easier to apply things like eyeliner. In the summer, we can only imagine how perfect this hint of tint will look with a pop of pink on our cheeks, a few coats of mascara, and a delicious berry stain on our lips.

The color we picked, Agent 02, matched our skin tone perfectly. Because the potion is so lightweight, there were no telltale makeup lines around our jaw or brown bones.

We liked combining it with our every day moisturizer for an added boost of hydration. OK, you can tell we’re fans, but don’t just take our word for it. We passed a sample along to a gal who’s looking for a new multi-tasking beauty product:

tarte’s smooth operator natural oil-free tinted moisturizer has been a dream come true! Like all tarte products, it is free of things like synthetic dyes and fragrances and mineral oil…and is great for sensitive skin. It didn’t clog my pores at all! During these long winter months, it has also been giving me the extra moisture I so desperately need, but without making my skin feel dry or tight. It feels amazingly light on my skin, but still manages to give my face a smoother, more even tone. It is the perfect base for my makeup, and with the added bonus of an SPF 20, I can see myself using it year round!

Hayden-Harnett’s haute Spring collection took to the catwalk on September 10 at The Gabarron Foundation Carriage House Center for the Arts. The line was inspired by a nomadic journey through lava fields and desert landscapes.

Tarte Cosmetics glammed up models with fresh, glowing faces to match the fabulous fashions. A flawless, warm complexion served as the base. Cheeks were given a healthy glow. Eyes were soft and natural with a major focus on bold brows (So “in” this season!) and barely there lips balanced the look off. Check out these pictures from the show:

We love to get our beauty sleep, but it isn’t always easy sneaking a full eight hours in! No matter how hard we try, there are days we open our eyes to dark circles and a puffy bag or (gasp) two!

We’ve been on the hunt for a concealer that acts like a cup of coffee in a compact, waking up our tired eyes. We’re happy to report…we found one!

Tarte dark circle defense is part of the Fall 2009 cosmetics lineup. When we discovered it was available in just two shades, we were a bit confused. Usually we have to dab and smudge a rainbow of colors just to find the perfect match. This seemed too easy! Still, we grabbed the light-to-medium shade and the handy dandy concealer brush (It’s included. Talk about a beauty bonus.) and got to work. We swiped a few dabs of the stuff under our lash line and at the inner and outer corner of our eyes.

We were amazed. The color instantly absorbed into our skin and literally seemed to make our peepers pop. The bags packed up and left, but the concealer stayed put all day. The consistency? Thick and creamy, but not cakey looking.

Tarte says the formula’s secret is it’s “skinvigorating,” all natural ingredients. Light refracting minerals help brighten skin and camouflage dark circles, while honey extract, vitamin E and soybean extract help de-puff and reduce redness, fine lines and wrinkles.

In clinical tests, tarte says 100% of its subjects reported a reduction in the appearance of puffiness after 4 weeks. We know our eyes sure looked better. Do you want to give the tarte’s latest creation a try?

Enter our GIVEAWAY! One lucky reader will win tarte dark circle defense in the color of their choice. Simply leave a comment below telling us why you’ve got your eyes on on this cosmetic prize. Open to residents of the United States and Canada. Contest ends on Monday, September 28th. Good luck everyone!
