And Then There's Pat McGrath
By Kim Hastreiter
As my friend Stefan Campbell has reminded me, makeup artist extraordinaire Pat McGrath is one of the most important building blocks in John Galliano's demented looks. I am SUCH a McGrath fan and met her recently at a dinner. She recently did a collection for the huge makeup company MAX Factor and they were making a big deal about it to us (the press), but then when I saw the makeup it was generic and had no reference to McGrath. They really missed the ball on this. I just don't understand why they got the best makeup artist in the world to design a line of makeup, but then didn't give her any credit or promote her on it. Anyway, the good news is that it turns out she's a big PAPER fan. Mutual admiration is always the best!

Créme de la Créme: Get Your Summer Skin in Order with Hampton Sun Face Cream
By Carol Lee
Hampton Sun is the new cool kid on the sun care block (they launched in 2005) that’s won over the hard-to-please set of fashion editors and celebrities like Kelly Ripa, Sarah Jessica Parker and Renee Zellweger. And for good reasons… Their products are simple, chic and plant-based, and they don’t take basking in the sun lightly. After all, their slogan is “Smart Serious Sunbathing.” This posh sun-care line evokes the feeling of hanging out on the beaches of eastern Long Island -- even if you’re slumming it at Rockaway Beach you can skip the Jitney and fantasize that you’re in the Hamptons.
My new favorite is their daily facial moisturizer that is a yummy concoction of aloe vera, chamomile, peach, grape seed, cucumber, seaweed, ginger, lemon, vitamins A though E and anti-oxidants. It’s creamy and light, smells heavenly and comes in a cute white popsicle-like container with gold trim. Super Hydrating Face Cream SPF 15 does double duty at home (you can use it as a daily moisturizer) and at the beach. At $40 you get what you pay for which is a luxury facial sunscreen. Get it here.
You know what else is really cool? Dior Hydraction Visible Defense Light Creme SPF 20.

By Alexis Swerdloff
Hello, ladies and germs, and welcome to this week's edition of Take That! First off, congrats to Geoffrey, who won Cranium. He wrote in, explaining:
I have a very large head and therefore a very large brain. I need to test it and find out exactly how much info is being idly stored in that slimy gray material before Alzheimer's (who was that guy, Alzheimer???; was he related to AL Kaseltzer???) sets in.
Onto this week! We're giving away two little containers of Shiny Mama body glitter. They are quite adorable and come with a tiny little coke-spoon-esque applier! Tell us why you deserve these makeup products in the comment box below and we'll send 'em to ya! As per usual, the multi-talented Blaire Huntley models.
