The products featured in this video are:

Chanel Nail Color in Gondola (#499) from the upcoming Chanel Fall 2009 Collection.

Essie Nail Polish in Perky Purple from the Neon Collection.

Orly Nail Lacquer in Sol Cabana, a gorgeous shade of orange from the Tiki Time Collection.

A staple here at Makeup Bag HQ (as you can see from the near-empty bottle), Solar Speed Spray from CND is used after every manicure in our house. With all the nail painting we do, I’d say a minimum of six manis take place each week.

Benefit One Hot Minute, the HOTTEST product of the summer! Brush this on for aah-maaaazing skin in one hot minute. Not even kidding.

Benefit One Hot Minute is a Sephora Exclusive, available this month!

Beauty sleep is a nice idea, but sometimes life gets crazy and the first thing I sacrifice is sleep.

Usually, I can eliminate all traces of a less-than-stellar night’s sleep with pink gloss and NARS Orgasm blush, but sometimes my pesky circles rat me out. This cute little jar of magic potion offers full coverage that is both opaque and totally illuminating.

Benefit Erase Paste comes in three shades and is available from Benefit for $26.

Now THIS is something to write home about!

I’ve been waiting for the day that Benefit would put all three of my favorite powders in one little box—and now it’s here. Benefit Cosmetics Powder Pop! includes Dallas (rosy bronze), Hoola (bronze), and Dandelion (soft pink), along with a mini brush in this limited-edition Sephora exclusive. Love it!

Everyone’s talking about That Gal, Benefit’s fab brightening primer that premiered in stores this month. We got our hands on it several weeks ago and fell in love. (That is, until a girlfriend found it in our Makeup Bag, tried it, and refused to leave our house without it.) The magical formula transforms our skin with light-reflecting pigments, leaving a smooth, glow-y finish.
