Victoria Beckham was recently asked what her favorite beauty product is and she answered:

“Hmmmm… favorite beauty product? Ummm… I’d probably have to say Touche Eclat by Yves Saint Laurent because, obviously, having three kids, I’m up half the night with them. And it hides a multitude of sins, like the bags under my eyes!”

Touche Eclat comes in a convenient pen-brush and is available in four shades:

• Luminous Radiance

• Luminous Ivory

• Light Peach

• Luminous Toffee

We’ll have to get ourself some!

We just arrived home from a one-day business trip to Salt Lake City that began at 3:30 this morning.

Sort of.

Our alarm was set for 3:30 a.m. but since we were up until well after midnight last night trying to get our photo-banner-thingy on our new site to work (we were unsuccessful, but it’s finally working now — yay!) we lingered in bed for half a second before getting up.

Sort of.

When we opened our eyes, it was 4:22 a.m — meaning, we had precisely 8 minutes to get ourself ready and out the door.

After screaming a few expletives to no one in particular while turning circles of confusion in our dark bedroom, we realized nothing would change the fact that the airport is 30 miles away and we needed to be there by 5:00 a.m.

We quickly pulled our hair into a messy-chic ponytail (our favorite day-two-hair look), threw some makeup into our tote bag with the intention of applying it after we made it safely through the security line, and slipped on the worst shoes we could have possibly selected for travelling. (What can we say, we hadn’t had our coffee yet.)

Where we were lacking in shoe-choosing abilities, we totally made up for in our Makeup Bag. After just ten minutes in the airport bathroom we showed no evidence of having less than 4 hours of sleep and actually felt confident and ready to take on our busy day.

Our must-have beauty items? (We thought you’d never ask.)

TheBalm Hot Mama, a multi-tasking peachy pink highlighting blush that instantly flatters and illuminates a sub-par complexion, giving the fresh-faced illusion of well rested skin.

Prescriptives Site Unseen, a brand new concealer from Prescriptives that has SPF 15, helps to visibly firm skin, and comes in a convenient mess-free pen that’s perfect for girls on the go.

Brown Cross Lashes, a Makeup Bag quick-fix for days when we need a little extra help. We love how these give our lashes fullness without being over the top.

Aside from having to walk six blocks in three-inch pumps, our day in Salt Lake City turned out better than we imagined. We caught up with an old friend, Melissa, over lunch and dished about our favorite beauty products and some SECRETS (because what are friends for if not a little hot gossip?) before heading off to our meeting.

Now we’re finally home and laughing to ourself because Melissa just left us a message that she stopped by the cosmetics counter on her way home and threw down $200 on some of our product recommendations.

Now, that’s what friends are for.

A facelift is a little extreme, but how about a Bobbi Brown Makeup Facelift?

Inspired by a chapter in Bobbi’s New Living Beauty book, the products in Bobbi Brown’s newest collection illuminate and brighten the face for a look Bobbi calls “The Makeup Facelift.”

We’ve been using an undereye brightener for a while now and like it better than concealer on most days. (We mostly use concealer to cover pesky blemishes, but it does nothing for our biggest undereye problem: puffiness!)

Bobbi Brown NEW Eye Brightener offers minimal undereye coverage with its unique lightweight, moisturizing formula and provides an alternative to concealer for a brighter, more refreshed look.

Another new product we MUST try is the NEW Limited Edition Coral Blush, a shade that Bobbi debuted on the Spring runways and is ideal for light, medium and dark skin tones. This new blush draws light to the face with a hint of shimmer and brightens your complexion with one sweep of your brush.

You can see the entire Bobbi Brown Makeup Facelift Collection here.

Remember when we told you about Bobbi Brown’s new Concealer to Go, a matchbox sized mirrored compact with Creamy Concealer, Corrector, and Sheer Finish Pressed Powder all in one?

Guess what friends?

It’s here!

Just in time for the holidays. Yay!

(Also, it’s limited edition, so don’t delay, mmm-kay?)
