My friends and I are addicted to Gossip Girl.

Blake Lively is so adorable—and she’s on the cover of Lucky this month!

I love how her character has such effortless style. I imagine her beauty routine is equally easy, yet precise . (In other words, I doubt she goes to bed without washing her face!)

In the Lucky article, Blake talks about some of her favorite beauty products including Physicians Formula Bronzer and CHANEL Glossimer in Summer Plum .

Lucky for me, my mother is obsessed with Chanel lip gloss so I have access to several otherwise-unaffordable shades, but the Physicians Formula Bronzer is available at the drug store and won’t deplete my savings when I drop my bag and shatter the contents, as I’ve been known to do. I know I’ve talked about this before here at Teen Corner, but everyone I know uses this bronzer and loves it.

It’s nice to know ultra-cool Blake Lively shares in my obsessions.

Now THIS is something to write home about!

We’ve been waiting for the day that Benefit would put all three of our 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!

Giorgio Armani Bronze Mania is a collection of rich, gold-infused shades that create luminous sun-kissed skin and evoke the beauty of a summer sunset.

Our favorite product from this collection is the Bronze Mania Summer Foundation, a cream-to-powder foundation that glides on like silk and leaves us with a warm glow-y complexion.

Also, the new Bronzing Duo is an ingenious way to shape and illuminate with two complementary cream blushes packaged in a bronze-colored compact, exclusive to the Bronze Mania Collection. One half of the compact is a deep bronze hue while the other is a golden shade perfect for highlighting cheekbones and forehead.

Giorgio Armani Bronze Mania Collection 2007 is currently available at giorgioarmanibeauty-usa.com.

Everyone loves a beauty secret.

Givenchy Fall 2007 Collection has a secret or two, inspired by the eternally gorgeous Audrey Hepburn, in the form of a hidden message inscribed into their compacts this season.

Shade 54 Cache-Cache (limited edition)

Prismissime Eyes , a 9-color eyeshadow collection, cleverly holds an array of camouflage inspired colors along with Audrey Hepburn’s personal philosophy engraved on the mirror: Style for Life.

Shade 10 Secret Rose (limited edition)

Prisme Again! Secret Blush, a powder blush quartet, beautifully displays the Givenchy 4G logo on the squares of fuschia, peach, mauve, and yellow powder blush designed to light up the face with a natural glow. This exclusive quartet offers more words of wisdom from Audrey Hepburn engraved on the mirror: Laugh Often.

Balancing out the bold eyes of the Prismissime Eye palette are two nude hues of Rouge Interdit, Givenchy’s star lipstick, in 25 Rose Caprice and 26 Voluptuous Nude.

New to the Givenchy makeup brand this season is Prisme Foundation, a palette of complementary powder foundation colors to create a flawless finish for every complexion. Swirled together, the four colors blend all over the face to camouflage flaws and enhance features. Individual hues can also be used to highlight and contour.

Prisme Foundation Shaping Powder Makeup is available in 7 versatile shades:

• Shaping Ivory-1
• Shaping Rose-2
• Shaping Beige-3
• Shaping Amber-4
• Shaping Honey-5
• Shaping Brown-6
• Shaping Copper-7

Givenchy Fall 2007 Collection is available beginning August 2007 at select Saks Fifth Avenue and Sephora stores.
