Weekend Roundup-26. February

Ready to see the Oscars? That does not love to see stars and their fashion and beauty selections for tonight? I will keep an eye-can not wait! We had some ideas in this week to make you ready-Oscar. We should all Shine to our great moments.

Tim Quinn, Giorgio Armani makeup artist to the stars, spoke to Kari to find the right basis. You can learn from Tim on Fab over forty. He is currently the backstage at Emporio Armani 2011 Show (Saturday morning as I write). He is usually the Academy Awards!

Rouge Bunny Rouge is a niche European tag, which has received a lot of online buzz and a cult of fans. Learn more from Gaia on non-Blonde. I am fascinated!

The new FOOL'S shades are also getting very Illuminators blogger attention. Check out Amy's views in the Café Makeup. I received all three new shades mid-week, and will feature them here today. I love them!

Jo Malone has launched a new line of tea Fragrance mixes, and Sabrina tried them all. Head over to see the beauty of the book to find out which transaction (s) may be right for you. I bought the Sweet Lemon (wore a light application to PT the other day!) and currently testing Earl Gray and cucumber. After a little more time with them, I promise to share my take.

Ever heard of Dermae skin care? Jane can give you the 411 on Daly beauty. If you want to or can tolerate products with retinol, this could be a good line for you.

Bare Escentuals Buxom Smoky Eye has introduced Sticks. Jennifer had the scoop on BeautyXposé. Is there one in your future? There can be one of mine.

Are you beginning to see the Pasty, winter white? Laurie has loving L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Towelettes. Do you want to know more? Head over to product girl.

We need a bottom lash mascara? Debbi gave us his opinion of the new Clinique mascara on DivaDebbi. It is a nice mascara-for klutzes.

Kelly has a new obsession. Find out at Gouldylox reviews how Konad made her wild and crazy! Her nails looked pretty cool.

I got a preview of La Prairie summer makeup collection to a Neiman Marcus banquet. Check it here on the best things of beauty. I am bummed that I should wait until May to get my hands on the new cream blush shades. I also highlighted the upcoming Cellular necessary body collection. Next week, I will show you the new Sun care.

Back to the Oscars. Please let us know what you think about the red carpet! We get chatting in the next week. Not always a couple of standouts and some debacles?

Update: there is color samples of Chanels new Rouge Coco Shine on CaRa BeAuTé BLoG!

Friday Forum-18. February

The good news is that the Sun is shining, and it is supposed to be 70 degrees outside today. Spring will arrive, but not without a last gasp of winter, I am sure. There is a fuzzy prediction for some potential snow next week.

The bad news is that my knee still not Stretch quite. Photo here hits close to home. My physical therapist spends much time on pressing down on my knees (Yes, it is painful), and I have done to Stretch exercises it, bend it into shape and strengthen the muscles around the. Unfortunately, now, I have a new torture device, a Dynasplint. It is a finger splint, which runs from my thighs for mid-calf, and it puts pressure on my knee joint to Stretch the. I have to wear it for increasing amounts of time and pressure on the knee every day. The first night I wore it, were extremely uncomfortable. I have found since then that it's best tip resistant to wear it while I am distracted-by Steven Tyler (on American Idol), or by work-although it is difficult to prop my splinted ben under my desk.

I really appreciate all your kind remarks, comments and emails. They have helped inspire me to keep working hard. In fact I would do my exercises now. I criminal so far this morning, but I will do it all day.

Last night, i attended a fabulous blogger event in the Department of beauty at Neiman Marcus at Mazza Gallerie. It was my first forays from the House for something that was not medical. We were introduced to all the new beauty products-those who have just been introduced and those coming in the spring. I can not wait to tell you about them! I will begin this weekend with incredible La Prairie skin care and makeup.
