This whole week has been a complete whirlwind - from being involved in the Oscars Suite at the Beverly Hills Hilton to the Slumdog Millionaire after party. We had an amazing time making the beautiful people even more beautiful with Global Goddess as celebs relaxed in the luxury lounge checking out all the swag that was available to them and more!
This week will see us recapping the events of the weekend and sharing with you all our favorite photos and stories! It's always great to connect with old friends and make new friends at events and we were able to do just that! In between sharing Global Goddess with new friends and further beautifying the already beautiful, Global Goddess was able to catch up with David Norona from Lipstick Jungle and his gorgeous wife Lisa who was wearing our Exotic Eyes mascara and South Pacific Shimmer which she picked up at the Emmy's Suite last year!

We were also able to introduce Global Goddess Beauty to a new friend who sent us this amazing message today:
"Hi! We met on Saturday afternoon at the Oscar gift suite at the Beverly Hills Hilton. I'm Tracie Thoms from the CBS show "Cold Case"... I'm African-American with long twists in my hair, just to refresh your memory :-) Well, I have to tell you, you did my eyes very quickly at the event, and the response I got from everyone I encountered was that I looked absolutely stunning -- often from men on the street! So, thanks for that! So nice to be told I'm beautiful several times in the parking lot at Vons Supermarket!
I also wanted to know how I could get my hands on that amazing eyeliner you used! I'm so excited to use the mascara in the gift bag, along with the hair oil and bronzer! Thank you so much! I'm so happy I'm aware of you now, and I'll be sure to spread the word!"


We are so happy to share Global Goddess with everyone and are so pleased to have been involved in such a wonderful event! Stay tuned to this blog for more Oscar fun, including the recap and photos from the official Fox Searchlight party for 'Slumdog Millionaire'!

SMOKY EYES ON THE RUNWAY

Fashion Week 2009 has come at a rough time for most of us - with the economy in a slump, it wasn't clear where the designers would go this year. So far we have seen a lot of neutrals and classic pieces that fashionistas will covet for a lifetime! It's all about neutrals - gray, black, & navy with a few stand out pieces that the most serious fashionista wouldn't be able to say no to.



Michael Kors perfected the neutrals going with a largely black palette with just a punch of hot pink, bright orange & lime. Models sashayed down the runway looking stunning in classically designed pieces that buyers will keep in their closets forever!

Kors did it right with pencil skirts slit to the top of the leg to beautiful coats that will be the perfect topper for fall looks. The best, though is Kors' strapless dress which he does in black leather and that stand out hot pink!


The look was completed with a classic dark smoky eye that works for anyone! To get this sexy, smoky look, keep your face and lips simple and neutral and follow the steps below:


Using a neutral eyeshadow, sweep the color all over your lids. Next, line your upper and lower lash lines with the Global Goddess i-Define Eyeliner in India Ink. Don't worry about perfection here as you will have time to fix it later.


With a dark grey or metal eyeshadow, apply color starting at your lash line and blend up to the crease making sure to blend the dark color into the eyeliner so they become one. Apply this dark color at your lower lash line too, also blending with the eyeliner.

To get the sleek look we see on the Michael Kors runway, re-line your eyes using the Cairo Eyes Liquid Kohl Eyeliner in Cleo sweeing the line up and out to a point outside your eyes.

Finish with at least two coats of Global Goddess Exotic Eyes Blackest Black Mascara for the ultimate in smoky eyes.

Yesterday, our own Global Goddess Jen Piasecki participated on 'Dating with the Stars' on Live! With Regis & Kelly for a chance to win a date with Food Network bachelor chef Danny Boome! Jen was voted by viewers into the top 3 and is still a little dazed by the experience!

She had a blast on the show and looked fabulous as she answered questions such "What is her perfect recipe for a first date." Global Goddess Beauty was her makeup of choice and Jen made sure she highlighted her look by lining her eyes on the top and bottom with the
Cairo Eyes Liquid Kohl Liner in Cleo, sweeping her cheekbones and temples with Goddess Glow South Pacific Shimmer & finishing her look with Moroccan Mystique Lip Veil in Casbah for shimmery & pouty lips.
We're all proud of Jen for embarking on this outrageous, goddess experience!

Last Friday, Global Goddess Beauty was featured on The Doctors when Shalini Vadhera, Global Goddess founder and world traveler, put three moisture masks to the test: an expensive, high end mask, an all-natural mask & a drugstore brand mask.

In the end, Shalini's all-natural moisturizing avocado mask was a winner and viewers have been scouring to find this unique skin smoothing recipe.
Here's what you'll need:
1 California avocado & 1/4 cup of plain yogurt

Mash the avocado and add the yogurt to cool and soothe the skin. Brush the mask on your face and chill out for about twenty minutes. Rinse off and feel how soft and hydrated your skin is!

It's finally Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week 2009 and the looks are in! Fashion Week kicked off Friday the 13th in New York without a hitch as designers sent their fashions sailing down the runways! We at Global Goddess love how the gorgeous beauties look as they are sashaying down the runway, but it's not all about the clothes...as the makeup and hair seal the look for Fall 2009!

Makeup has never been so diverse, from the blue eyes at Nicole Miller to the fresh faces at Abaete & the dark lips at Charlotte Ronson and Jason Wu, these are some of the greatest beauty looks we've seen on the so far!

For Global Goddess Beauty, the dark lip is in! Follow these tips to get the Plum Pout we've seen at some of the shows so far:

Start by draping your skin with the Upgrade Complexion Face Primer all over you face to instantly hi-light your skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores.

Next, apply the Complexion Perfection Duo all over the face for an even, flawless canvas. With your ring finger, pat the concealer under your eyes to make dark circles and puffiness disappear!

Sweep the i-Divine Eyeshadow in Darjeeling from your lash line to the crease of your eye and then, using the crease brush from the Jet Setter Mini Tool Case, blend the i-Divine Batasia Eyeshadow in a half moon shape to get a sexy contour.

Follow with two coats of Exotic Eyes Blackest Black Mascara and sweep Sattva Chai Cheek Color on your temples and the apples of your cheeks.

To finish this Plum Pout look, smooth Cardamon Lip Veil over lips and use the Sandstorm Lip Veil in the center of your lips to give them a sexy pout!

Global Goddess Beauty founder and celebrity makeup artist Shalini Vadhera will be honored at ANOKHI Magazine's 6th Anniversary Sexy & Successful Awards alongside Freida Pinto, the breakout star of 'Slumdog Millionaire'!

Freida has been recognized for her gorgeous looks and loves to play up her natural beauty by enhancing her already gorgeous features and beautiful coloring. Here are some tips on how you can get her look!

To warm up her olive skin, start with a primer. Our Upgrade Complexion Face Primer not only fills in lines and pores for instant flawless looking skin but also has light purple pearlescent reflection that bounces off light and blurs any imperfections on the skin. It also instantly warms up any skintone - almost like you have your own lighting guy following you around town.

To finish off giving her a flawless complexion, use a golden based foundation. Freida goes for the "less is more" look so opt for a tinted moisturizer like the Global Goddess Tinted Duo in 2.0. Start with the tinted duo all over the face and then follow with the built in concealer in the cap to cover any flaws. Set with a neutral powder to set the look.

Sexy eyes and lips are Freida's choice to play up. Sweep on a neutral pallete of golds and brown on the lids to give a hint of golden glamour. Try the Global Goddess Eldoret Tribal Quad Eyeshadow. Next, apply a think line of black liner to the top lid. Our Cairo Eyes Liquid liner is not only intense black but also wear's all day long.

Finish the look with two-three coats of a very black mascara. The Global Goddess Exotic Eyes Blackest Black Mascara will make a statement without having to wear falsies!

Freida has luscious lips that she likes to play up. Just pat on a darker than nude lipcolor like the Global Goddess Cardamom Lip veil to have a natural but sexy pout.

She keeps her cheeks subtly defined. No better way to achieve this look than to opt for bronzer over blush and place it high on the cheekbone for lift and definition. Try the South Pacific Shimmer to get that golden glow.

Last but not least, follow the Indian secret to super shiny hair like Freida's with a once a week coconut oil scalp massage. This little secret gives her glossy looking hair. Try the Global Goddess Coconut Amla Hair Oil.

Pick up the March 2009 issue of Family Circle and find out what Shalini's favorite things are!

Family Circle wants you to "Spring Forward" with Spring runway makeup trends and beauty tips from the professionals.

According to Shalini Vadhera, founder of Global Goddess Beauty, red lips are in but "The number one mistake people make with red lipstick is wearing too much. Skip the liner and just dot color over lips with the pad of your index finger for more of a stained effect!"






SOME OF SHALINI'S FAVORITE THINGS
Velcro Rollers "I use them every day to give my hair some movement."
Global Goddess Coconut Amla Lash Conditioner "Big Brows are back, so I'm trying to grow mine in. This product uses a marine extract from France that stimulates growth and helps make brows and lashes appear fuller."
Maybelline Expert Wear Blush Duo in Twin Peach "These pink and peachy blushes are really pearlescent and give a nice pop of color to cheeks."

The March issue also features the beauty tips and tricks of Jessica Stacey, director of public relations for Sephora in NY & Bobbi Thomas, style editor for NBCs Today Show and E! Red Carpet & Fashion Police!
