My "beauty secret" is no big secret for those in the know. Benefit’s "That Gal" primer helps to give you that special glow.
As a beauty blogger, I tell-all about the products I sample. When I discover a star in the vast universe of cosmetics, I shout about it from the highest mountain. Prior to my beauty blogging days, I kept many secrets. When I found makeup that made my skin look younger or shadow that made my eyes pop, I was not quick to offer the valuable information to others. What I am saying is this: If I was not the author of a beauty blog, Benefit’s "That Gal" brightening foundation primer would remain my little secret.
"That Gal" makes the skin’s surface appear smoother, and provides an excellent base for makeup to wear longer. The pink tone of this foundation primer illuminates the skin, making it appear youthful and vibrant. Though intended to be used under foundation, this product can be worn stand-alone and reapplied over makeup throughout the day! Don’t worry if you’re not naturally the rosy-glow type. My skin has natural yellow undertones. This product neutralized my sallow skin and blended perfectly. As a bonus, this product actually smells like candy! Love it!
Benefit Cosmetics That Gal Brightening Face Primer retails for $27 at Benefit, Macy’s and Sephora

I’m generally not lucky with long-lasting lipcolor, but the recently launched dual-ended Pro Longwear Lustre Lipcolor glosses by MAC are the exception.
This mint-green conditioner is amazingly moisturizing and detangles locks with the best of them. Specifically designed to not weigh hair down, you don’t need to compromise on volume to deliver moisture to your hair.
Readers– pay close attention. I guarantee you that the deep eggplant purple shade pictured at left–named Illegal Purple–will be THE "it" nail polish for the Fall season. This gorgeously edgy nail color is just one of many reasons that MAC worshipers will be lined up at their local MAC counters on August 21st (today!) to celebrate the introduction of Cult of Cherry, a MAC Cosmetics Fall 2008 Color Collection.
