Purple Lab on Better TV!

April 22, 10

We recently did a cute segment for Better TV in the Purple Lab apartment (a.k.a. my home/office/warehouse). They shot here once before and I have to say, it’s always fun to have a film crew come over!

The producer, Marianne, is heaven to work with and – I love this about her! – she writes vampire young adult novels (check her out). This was one of her last shoots for the network before she left to write full time (we’ll miss you, Marianne).

Purple Lab’s How to Get High Drama Eyes

April 20, 10

I recently wrote about the Women in Need charity event. But what I didn’t share is the high drama look I gave my eyes, thanks to Lashionista Modelista (clearly, an addictive product for me!).

It’s super easy and here’s how to do it yourself:

When you do something like this, something that draws all the attention to your eyes, keep the rest of your look soft and neutral.

April 14, 10

Because I shared 25 things you don’t know about Todd and me, I want you to know 25 things about Sharon! So this is her story!

1. I like cats better than dogs

My kitten Willougby Ann!

Purple Lab Shows How to Get Perfect Curls!

April 14, 10

I’m totally a curly girl. I think I have straightened my hair twice in the last seven years. I just don’t feel like me when my mane is not a little bit unruly and wild.

I received a few emails, asking me how I do my curls. I’m flattered! So I thought I’d share my secret, which I can’t quite claim as my own because everything I know, I learned from Devachan, where I have been going to get my hair done for the past 13 years.

Purple Lab on Starlicious.tv!

April 13, 10

Have you played with Starlicious.tv? It’s kind of addictive, a cross between Jeopardy and Perez Hilton.

And guess who’s in this week’s episode? Moi!

My friend from college created this genius concept, which involves game show contestants and celeb trivia.

Every week, a celebrity expert comes on and shares a piece of dirt. This week, ’twas me.

Purple Lab’s Todd! Meet Him!

April 11, 10

As you know, Purple Lab is a husband-wife team. Todd, who I married four years ago, and I do this together, from home. It’s amazing on so many levels but challenging as well. And you know what – I wouldn’t change a thing.

He’s very much a behind-the-scenes kind of guy so I thought I’d share 25 Things You Don’t Know About Him!

1. He looks about 12 years younger than he actually is but I won’t say his age – it’s not polite!

Women in Need Gala: Gallivanting with the Girls

April 10, 10

Wednesday night, I attended the Women in Need benefit gala, honoring Cindi Leive, editor-in-chief of Glamour (who was announced by Iman, gorgeous as can be in yellow Rachel Roy), and CEO of Lord & Taylor Brendan Hoffman for their commitment to the charity’s cause.

Jet setted there with a few bloggess friends. From left: Aly Walansky, Tracey Lomrantz of Glamour.com, me, Amber Katz from Beautybloggingjunkie.

Lori Goldstein, mega fashion stylist who has a cute new collection called Logo Instant Chic on QVC was in the house. Love her. Major girl crush!

Love the Marni necklace!

Karen Robinovitz & 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me

April 7, 10

I love that Facebook ap – 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me!

So this is mine! And I’ll be sharing Sharon’s and Todd’s in coming days…

1. I have this really odd habit when I’m concentrating on something – I smell my hand!

2. I slept with a stuffed hippo until I got married. Just a comfy habit from the time I was five.

3. Zac Posen designed my wedding dress, which had about 1,000 hand-dyed pom poms. It was pure couture confection, trimmed in curly ostrich feathers.

Purple Lab Quick Catch Up!

April 7, 10

First of all, I am horrified at long it’s been since I have blogged. Let’s just say that I’ve been in the midst of serious insanity.

We’re finally bringing back Love Your Thighs and Lychee Martini, two chic shades of Huge Lips Skinny Hips. Love Your Thighs is exotic coral and Lychee Martini, super sheer peach. And… Limo to Lobby (perfect pink) and Goji Berry Smoothie are on their way, too.

I’ll be debuting them on HSN. along with Pearlesque Show, our new silicone-free primer with a touch of crushed pearls and honey, in April. Click here to see when!
