I was recently sent some samples from the Christopher Drummond Beauty line and was really impressed with the results. Now I have found a lot of great makeup over my years of testing but the Christopher Drummond line stands out because not only is it great makeup but it completely vegan  and natural. All those nasty chemicals and products have been left out and you still get great makeup with amazing staying power.

One of my favorite items has to be the eyeshadows (Feline & Aymee) the color is the perfect mix of matte with a hint of shine so your eyes don’t look overdone. Once you apply it, the shadow really stays put you get the same vibrant look all day with no creasing or fading.

Another stand out is cult favorite SAÚDE PELE Radiance Booster its magic powder. On top of foundation it gives my face a radiance that looks like I just returned from vacation. And on light makeup days I wear it alone on my skin to give it a little oomph. 

A great makeup line that you can feel good about wearing! 

NEW YORK – Christopher Drummond Beauty, the innovative makeup line created by former model and professional makeup artist Christopher Drummond, has introduced four remarkable new products. Just like the existing products in the line, the new products are luxurious, elegant and simple. All are and made with plant extracts, botanicals and only natural ingredients.

“I am excited to be introducing these new products,” said Christopher Drummond, Creator of Christopher Drummond Beauty. “As with everything in the Christopher Drummond Beauty line, they are more than products, but part of our entire philosophy – beauty is individual, and every woman deserves to look and feel amazing while also using healthy ingredients.”

No really, I’m asking – who in their right mind would want to smell like Pamela Anderson? You? And would you ever admit to it? Not only is it a new perfume by Pammy, but it’s also budget friendly! Here’s more from Off the Rack:

Juggling a shapely perfume bottle in each hand, Pamela Anderson, launched her much-anticipated first fragrances Malibu Blue and Malibu Pink in partnership with International Beauty Brands at the W Hotel in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. last night in signature sexy style. “Both fragrances are fresh, chic and luxurious — and totally inspired by the Malibu surf lifestyle that I love,” the former Baywatch babe told PEOPLE. “They are all-natural and embody my free spirit and passionate, ‘get in trouble’ side. Plus, the line is so affordable!” And cost was key for the actress, who wanted the products to be available in drugstores across the nation. “I am a drugstore whore,” Pamela continues. “I worship drug stores. You have to pull me out of them. My dream is for every woman to be able to go to her favorite drug store and buy an affordable fragrance which will make her feel sexy.” And the PETA advocate also made sure that the scents fit with her animal-friendly lifestyle. “Once we completed the product — the glamorous bottle, and the pink and blue packaging — and we were assured everything was ecologically perfect and cruelty free, I was ready to go for it,” she says, adding that a portion of proceeds will benefit the animal charity. Malibu Blue, which contains notes of wild berries and white florals, and Malibu Pink, which combines sandalwood, caramel and vanilla bourbon, range in price from $39 for a 1.7 ounce to $49 for a 3.4 ounce spray, and are rolling into stores now.

Leonardo DiCaprio cares very deeply about his skin. The Revolutionary Road star is a regular at Bluemercury, a cosmetics store located in the Westfield Mall in LA’s Century City. On October 24, the actor spent more than $1,400 on face masks, moisturizers, eye creams, antiwrinkle lotions, soap and toners. While the actor’s rep says that the purchase was for a gift, fellow shopper Bonnie Lockhart tells In Touch, “Leo asked a lot of questions and seemed to be most concerned about wrinkle creams.” Leo’s skin care regimen is working. He is a very boyish-looking 35-year-old!

I was recently sent a sample of the new Kenzo Power Cologne and I was excited to have my husband try it out. Turns out it smells so good I love wearing it. It is definitely a man’s scent but it is fresh enough to not be overpowering and I love the citrus scent. It would make a great Christmas gift for the man in your life.

KENZO POWER COLOGNE

Kenzo introduces a new fragrance for him, a simple, subtle statement of masculinity—KENZO POWER COLOGNE. Olivier Polge’s woody citrus creation is highlighted by the fusion between fresh notes emblematic of colognes and the ambery intensity of KENZO POWER. Japanese designer Kenya Hara’s original bottle design becomes transparent; the silhouette a single curved line. A fragrance perfectly suited to the crisp, cool days ahead.

- Notes of verbena and bergamot
- Woody citrus

Intense amber notes of the original Kenzo Power fuse with citrus to create KENZO POWER COLOGNE, a woody citrus fragrance for him. Verbena, bergamot and cardamom blend with geranium and black pepper before settling into a base of vetiver and cedar.
