Top 5 Looks of the Golden Globes

The Golden Globes red carpet had me blown away tonight!  I couldn't decide on my absolute favorite look.  I think it's a tie between Charlize Theron's sexy deep-V Dior gown paired with a glamorous headband and Jessica Alba's super feminine strapless Gucci, but I saw so many chic styles that I had to show you my top five.

Man of the Moment, Jeremy

Hi BeautySweetSpot readers!  I have a new 'Man of the Moment' for you this week, Jeremy, 33, from  Boston but lives in NYC.  He's in Digital Marketing and loves to swim, fish, boat and lift weights... yes, he's single.  He's the type of guy who chooses Angelina Jolie over Jennifer Aniston, but if he were to take any celeb out on a date he'd choose Teresa Palmer.  Check him out: What's in your medicine cabinet?

A wide assortment of Chanel men’s products: Platinum Egoiste deodorant, Platinum Egoiste bath and shower gel, Allure Homme Sport hair and body wash, Pour Monsieur after shave moisturizer, Men’s Lab products: Mulit-action face wash, Invigorating face scrub, Power wash, Power protector SPF 50, and Tend Skin.

I’ve been a big Chanel products fan since receiving a gift set in college for the holidays. As a guy, I get told I smell often, so it’s worth it. Men’s Lab makes quality products; I especially like using the face scrub before shaving and use the Power protector w/SPF 50 daily including as a sunscreen during the summer.

What product can’t you live without and why?

Chanel Platinum Egoiste deodorant. I have these hidden away all over the place (gym bag, bedroom, medicine cabinet. etc) and buy several at one time. I’ve used this product for so long I can’t imagine not having it. I’m a creature of habit.

How would you describe your grooming habits?

Despite the long list of fancy metro sexual products, I consider myself to be a low maintenance guy. On a typical day, I jump in the shower, slather myself up with one of the body wash’s from head to toe, floss, brush my teeth, rub some moisturizer on my face and I’m off 5 min later.

Now be honest, how would a woman describe your grooming habits?

Kind of impressed. I’ve had some help along the way from past girlfriends. The Chanel products seem to be a crowd pleaser.

When prepping to go out on a date what are the three things you make sure you do?

Shave, mouthwash, and get a little more diligent with the body wash.

If you could have one night with any celebrity who would it be and why?  More importantly, what would you do?

Teresa Palmer. She’s incredibly beautiful, she has an Australian accent, and in the trailer for “I am Number 4” she’s kicking ass in a black leather jump suit and walking away from explosions without looking behind. I would spend a day with her on Cape Cod, boating to the Vineyard, biking around the island, eating lobster rolls, and lying on the beach until the sun went down.

What’s the first thing you notice about a woman?

Am I seeing her for the first time from the back or front? Nothing trumps a pretty face.

When it comes to a woman’s beauty what’s your sweet spot?

Good skin and toned arms.

The Right Brows for Your Face Shape

I'm pretty anal when it comes to having my eyebrows threaded.  I get them done when there's the least bit of hair underneath them because they need to look and feel very clean.  I also love the woman who shapes my brows because she places the arch exactly where it needs to be. What about you?  Are your brows shaped properly according to your face shape?  There is a science to the madness!  DailyMakeover recently talked with the owner of Browhaus Salon, Cynthia Chua, to find out just how to get the perfect brow for your face shape.  Check out the article to make sure you're in check.

Have you ever experienced a brow horror story?

Golden Globes 2011 Hits and Misses

So immediately after the Jets beat the Patriots I tuned into the Golden Globes red carpet to check out who got it right and who was about to be humiliated by the press until they had a chance to redeem themselves at the Oscars. Here's my list of hits and misses from the 2011 Golden Globes: Anne Hathaway's body blew me away.  It wasn't just that I thought she was one of the best dressed on the carpet in her beaded blush colored Armani Prive gown, but the fact that she absolutely couldn't have pulled it off if she wasn't in tip top shape.  Not many people can, not even in Hollywood.

Starlettes such as Angelina Jolie, Elizabeth Moss and Catherine Zeta Jones all donned green gowns.  I'm assuming it's because they're all NY Jet's fans and absolutely hate the New England Patriots as much as I do so despite the fact that they couldn't watch the game due to prior commitments, they wanted to show their support.  Whether it was that or just a huge trend, it's a big hit on my list.

Two horrific misses?  One, January Jones looked hot yes, but completely inappropriate for the Globes.  Yes, she may have a very toned, shapely body to show off, but cut outs around her breasts at the Globes?  Not OK in my book.  And I can't even begin to rant about Jennifer Love Hewitt.  The poor girl was lost again.  Does she even have a stylist?  If not, she should get one... quick.  And if she does, it's time to cut ties. She looked like a lost bride.

Get It While It's Hot: KohGenDo Launched in Barneys

It's not often I come across a beauty brand that I absolutely cannot live without, but KohGenDo is one of them.  About a year and a half ago the Japanese skincare and cosmetic brand launched online in the US and just recently they made their big debut on the counters at Barneys in New York and in Beverly Hills.  Get this – Barney's can't keep the products on shelves! Looks like the rest of the world is with me.  I covet the skincare.  Especially the Macro Vintage Essence Mask.  It's one product I'll share only with my mom because it's that good.  I use it once a week and it keeps my skin boosting with a fresh, dewy glow.

KohGenDo recently came out with Gommage Gel that's a gentle exfoliator and trust me on this – you know it's working. Why?  Because all of the dead skin cells and impurities you're rubbing away show as the exfoliant turns to rubbery balls. Yes, it may sound gross, but let's face it, we all like products that look or feel effective.  This skincare line has proven results over time to me.

Besides loving the skincare myself, celebrity makeup artists are cult followers of the skincare and makeup, especially the foundations.  They were used on Angelina Jolie in Salt and recently on the cast of The Reasonable Brunch (Demi Moore, Ellen Barkin and Kate Bosworth).  Ellen Barkin regularly grabs the products from Alcone in NYC whether she's filming or not.  Now KohGenDo's available to us online and in Barneys!  Check out the full range of products and let me know if you'd like suggestions... trust me, I've been using all of the skincare and tried all of the cosmetics!

Lori Goldstein Launches Logo on QVC

This week I had the pleasure of attending an event at Lori Goldstein's Manhattan apartment, one of the most sought after stylists in the industry, to showcase her new clothing line, Logo, on QVC.

Being a freelance journalist and blogger I attend anywhere from five to ten events per week, but this event was different... it was special.  We each got to bring an item of clothing that we loved, but never wear and Lori styled it for us with something new from her collection.  I sat there amazed at the art and in awe of some of the pieces she was working with.  (Check out the pics here).

Lori's styled celebrities like Madonna and Angelina Jolie and outfitted models for Italian Vogue, but confessed she loves styling regular people (like me) who love fashion.  Her words of advice, there are no rules in fashion.  I'm now inspired to put a pair of scissors to half of my wardrobe.

She's excited to be able to bring fashion to the masses with QVC in creating Logo, where nothing retails for over $100.  The pieces are meant to be layered and comfortable.  She'll be on QVC today from 3-4 pm so watch her show or check out her  line here.  I'm in love.
