Unless you’re an A-list star like Scarlett Johansson or Mandy Moore, you won’t be getting red carpet treatment when you make appearances. Are you even “making appearances”? But here are some hot items celebrities use that just might give you a star-studded appeal.
The buzz on charity
Celebrities including Johansson have teamed up with Cartier to launch the LOVE Charity Bracelet to raise money for causes dear to them; Johansson’s charity is USA Harvest. For each bracelet purchased, Cartier will donate $100 to the corresponding cause; $475 at Boutique Cartier, 630 N. Michigan Ave.
Sexy skin
Too Faced Cosmetics makes body moisturizing mousse that has gotten some red carpet time, according to Too Faced founder Jerrod Blandino. “Tori Spelling is obsessed with this new product,” he told RedEye, “and she uses it all over her legs and arms, especially prior to a red carpet event.” $22 at Sephora stores.
A touch of gloss
Brighten a tired look with Rosie Jane Cosmetics Cheek Gloss, natural makeup that is easy to apply and leaves a dewy glow. “Grey’s Anatomy” star Ellen Pompeo wears the line, according to Yvette Masterson, a publicist at Y Public Relations; $24 at rosiejanecosmetics.com.
Fashionable hair
Stop being hair-accessory phobic and tie locks back in a Lavender Girl Go Go Band. Select from two dozen styles usable on short, medium and long lengths. In a news release from GBS, The Beauty Store, GBS VP of marketing Meredith Foster said that celebrities such as Moore wearing the bands have helped boost the products’ popularity; $18 and up at gbsbeauty.com.
Romantic evening
Need a clue on how to seduce your woman? Set the scene with a CARA Cosmetics Sensual Massage Soy Candle, dinner and some tunes. When you’ve finished eating, make use of the warm wax as a soothing massage lubricant. Daryl Hannah uses CARA products, according to celebrity makeup artist Lynn Barber; $24.50 at studiocara.com.
