We are huge fans of P&G here at Fashionable Media. And we know that their brands such as Olay, Cover Girl, Pantene and more all make the most have beauty products. Did you know these facts about them however? They have….
- Earned 155 awards—and counting—from leading beauty editors over the past five years
- Been awarded a staggering 82 Allure Best of Beauty and Readers’ Choice awards over the past two years, illustrating that – not only do beauty editors love our products – so do women across the country!
All the beauty experts agree that their brands deserve the recognition that they receive. Gurus like Pat McGrath, Bruce Grayson and Danilo all swear by these products to the the latest red carpet and runway looks. And they have divulged their list of beauty must-haves so that anyone can build an award-winning beauty regimen.
Pat McGrath’s favorite product is the Cover Girl lash blast mascara and we agree! This mascara never clumps and always looks great for any occasion.
Dr. Sarah Vickery’s favorite product is the Cover Girl & Olay 2n1 foundation and primer. I honestly love this product. It is light and airy without covering your face in grease.
Danilo’s favorite product is the Restore Beautiful Lengths smoothing cream. We have never tried this product, but it is getting awesome reviews from everyone!
Claire Girdler’s favorite product is the Venus razors. And my P&G beauty staples would have to be the Venus Embrace razors. These razors are totally awesome and give you a nice clean shave without harming your sensitive skin. I swear by these razors and Venus is the only brand that I use. (Review coming soon!)
And don’t forget, it is the perfect time to update your beauty regiment! Through the end of this month, P&G is offering a $15 rebate with the purchase of $50 worth of any Venus, Olay, Secret, CoverGirl, Clairol, Herbal Essences, Aussie, Head & Shoulders, Pantene, and Crest 3D White products.
What are your beauty staples from P&G?

Laura is know for her awesome makeup creations and she has added a great new product to her line: Oil Free Suprême Foundation, available in stores in April.
This oil-free lightweight formula gives skin ultimate coverage while gliding evenly on. Not only is this product silicone-free, fragrance free, it is also non-greasy. It glides evenly onto the skin. And has a soft finish that is long-lasting that feels so comfortable on the skin.
The key ingredients:
· Aloe Bardadens – soothes and refresh skin.
· Green Tea Leaf Extract – provides antioxidant and astringent properties.
· Vitamin E – provides moisturizing properties.
· Vitamin A – provides antioxidant and moisturizing capabilities and helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
· Panthenol – a hydrating agent that improves skin’s natural moisture balance.
· Silica – porous mineral absorbs oils, visibly smoothes skin.
I had a chance to try it and I was thrilled. I *cough* generally don’t wear alot of makeup because it cakes my face and I keep having to re-apply it, but I was so pleased with this! It is exactly what it is claimed to be and I love it!
It’s quite easy to apply and it is thick so Laura recommends that you shake well before using and apply to face with Laura’s Foundation Sponge or fingertips. For best results, use with a Foundation Primer.
It comes in twelve different shades: (Porcelain Ivory, Blush Ivory, Warm Ivory, Sunny Beige, Vanilla Beige, Golden Beige, Shell Beige, Tawny Beige, Honey Beige, Suntan Beige, Toffee Bronze, Rich Sienna) so you are sure to find one that is perfect for you.
$42.00 for a 1 oz./29 ml bottle. You can find it wherever beauty products are sold in April.

It is no secret that I am addicted to my lip products. But here is a list of my favorite lip products that are all under twenty-five dollars! Budget friendly and perfect for the average gal these are all awesome products.
Burt’s Bees Lip Products
I have used Burt’s Bees products ever since I was in grade school and even now I still love them. They are 100% good for you and never fail to work their wonders.
Softlips Pearl Lip Gloss
This soft frosty pink lip gloss is perfect for any event. It doesn’t chap your lips rather it only protects them from harmful sun rays as well as making them look perfect.
EOS Lip Balm
Is it any secret that I am EOS’s biggest fan? I pretty much only use their lip balm and I gave them out as gifts this Christmas. Their lip balm is good for you and it makes your lips look and feel amazing.
tarte Lip Tint
I love tarte’s products. And their lip tints are probably the most awesome product that they have made (besides their foundation!) and with so many different colors to choose from you are sure to find a awesome match. Your lips will be left fuller, softer, and more supple then ever.
CoverGirl Lipstick
I have yet to try the new CoverGirl blast lipstick, but I am a huge fan of all their old brands and I know that this one is going to be awesome as well!

Celebrity makeup artist Jeannia Robinette for tarte created this beautiful look for Debra Messing.
Overall Inspiration: “Debra said she wanted knock-em-dead eyes. She wanted a super smoky dramatic look, so we made it all about glamorous eyes, and accentuated them with a shiny, natural nude gloss on the lips.”

We love Sofia Vergara. She’s so fun and not to mention beautiful. So we had to share her red carpet look with you all. 
Kayleen McAdams created this look for the lovely lady.
You’ll see that Sofia’s jewelry had purple tones, in both the bracelet and earrings so I wanted to subtly bring that out in the eye with a plum shadow. To bring the whole look together, I used a mauve lipstick as it complemented the eye and also accented the jewelry.
How face products were applied:
I applied COVERGIRL TRUconceal Concealer #4 under the eyes and around the nose first, and then applied COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Silk Foundation in Nutmeg #360 using a sponge starting at the center of the face and then blending outwards. To set these creamy products, I used a good, fluffy brush and COVERGIRL Clean Pressed Powder in Soft Honey. To brighten the face, I applied COVERGIRL Cheekers Blush in Classic Pink along the cheekbones.
How eye products were applied:
I started with COVERGIRL Liquiline Blast Eyeliner in Brown Blaze at the outer corner of the upper lash line and all the way along the bottom. I applied COVERGIRL Eye Enhancers 1-Kit Shadows in Forever Fig over the entire lid starting at the outer corners and blending towards the center. I then used COVERGIRL Eye Enhancers 1-Kit Shadows in Brown Smolder at the outer corners and along the bottom lash line. I finished the eyes with two coats of COVERGIRL LashBlast Volume Blasting Mascara in Very Black on both the top and bottom lashes.
How lip products were applied:
I started with COVERGIRL LipPerfection Lipcolor in Eternal to fill in Sofia’s entire lip. To add dimension to the lip, I used new COVERGIRL Blast Flipstick Lipcolor in Vixen in the center to give it a little shimmer.
Additional beauty prep:
-At the last minute, I decided to add a little more brown liner to the upper lash line to give it further depth. Other than that the look was all set!
-I gave Sofia the lip products I used as well as a pressed powder to combat any potential shine throughout the night
-When I applied COVERGIRL Blast Flipstick Lipcolor, I started with a lighter pink but eventually decided to switch to a mauve shade. TheCOVERGIRL LipPerfection Lipcolor in Eternal is one of our absolute favorites so I knew we wanted to use that one
Tada!!
