Today was the 12th Annual EIF Revlon Run/Walk For Women in New York City. The 5K walk, which kicks off in Times Square and ends in Central Park, is an effort to fight women's cancers by raising money and awareness. And even though, the Miley Cyrus/Christina Applegate-hosted Los Angeles walk isn't until next Saturday (May 9th), Hollywood's heavy hitters were out in full force.

Revlon spokeswomen Jessica Alba and Jennifer Connelly, funnyman Jimmy Fallon (not yet a face of Revlon!) and the cosmetics company's newest addition, Jessica Biel -- it was announced yesterday that she is their new "Global Brand Ambassador" -- all hosted the event. (And yes, there were JT sightings.)

Jennifer Connelly Talks Revlon and Balenciaga With Style

Balenciaga may have a new cover girl to front its ad campaigns now, but actress Jennifer Connelly is still sporting designer Nicholas Ghesquiere's space age pieces practically everywhere she goes. Case in point: the photo shoot the raven haired beauty just did for Vogue. Not only does Connelly sport a slicked back ponytail a la Balenciaga, but also dons the alien-esque sorbet body suit with matching gloves from the Parisian label's buzzworthy spring '09 collection.

Fall 2009 Fashion Week: Backstage Beauty at Max Azria

Email thisPosted Feb 20th 2009 at 9:32AM by Laura Kenney

Filed under: Cosmetics, Fashion Week, Beauty Tips, Hair Cut and Style

SHOW: Max Azria
MAKEUP: Gucci Westman for Revlon
HAIR: Laurent Philippon for Bumble and Bumble
BEAUTY SNAPSHOT: Gothic romantic warrior

THE SCOOP: "This season feels fresh, confident and optimistic," said Westman. "People are conscious and aware that everything will be OK, but at the same time you don't want anything that's too opulent. I'd feel odd doing a look that's extra rich and polished at the moment." Max Azria's collection featured very detailed clothing with lots of black, and Westman created a certain hardness in the girls, to look appropriate in the clothing. Eyes were the focal point with lots of black kohl, with gloss on top of the lids for shine. Skin shimmered with highlighter, and lips were nude but healthy with a dab of balm. The hair looked gorgeous in a tousled, twisted bun. "I wanted the hair to look tight but nothing too slick and finished," said hair stylist Laurent Philippon. "I wanted it to look very organic."

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: Revlon Matte Eye Shadow in Vintage Lace, Revlon Colorstay Eye Shadow Quad in Sultry Smoke and Sterling Rose, Revlon Matte Lux Color Kohl Eyeliner in Black Truffle, Revlon 3D Extreme Mascara in Blackest Black.

GET THE LOOK - HAIR: Philippon spritzed hair with Bumble and Bumble Prep, before sectioning hair into about five different braids and blowing them dry with a hairdryer. This tactic gave the hair amazing wave and texture. Philippon removed the braids, ran Bumble and Bumble Styling Wax through the hair and separated the top section into a twist. He wound the bottom section into a bun, to which he joined the twisted top section, fastening them together with bobby pins.

Fall 2009 Fashion Week: Backstage Beauty at Richard Chai

Email thisPosted Feb 19th 2009 at 9:32PM by Laura Kenney

Filed under: Cosmetics, Fashion Week, Beauty Tips, Hair Cut and Style

SHOW: Richard Chai
MAKEUP: Gucci Westman for Revlon
HAIR: Kevin Ryan for Ricky's
BEAUTY SNAPSHOT: Sk8ter girls

THE SCOOP: Richard Chai's clothing has never been for girlie girls, and his Fall 2009 show was no different. With slender silhouettes, punky plaid, leather and lots of blacks and grays, Chai sees your street chic and raises it 20. And what do street smart gals wear? Smoky eyes, of course. We've seem lots of these so far this season, but here, makeup artist Gucci Westman takes a fresh spin by blending matte brown shadow with steel gray shadow for what she calls a "mousy gray eye." Take it from us, this mixture of warm and cool did wonders to make the model's eye color really pop. For lips, Westman used a shade of lilac she and Revlon created exclusively for the show (pictured, right). It's yet un-named, but will hit the shelves later this year. Hair stylist Kevin Ryan was on hair duty, creating a "skate punk" faux-hawk that's reminiscent of New York's Tompkins Square Park, circa 1987. "We wanted the girls to look like they're in a band," he said.

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: Revlon Matte Eye Shadow in Rich Sable, Revlon Colorstay 12 Hour Eyeshadow Quad in Azure Mist, Revlon Matte Lux Color Kohl Eyeliner in Black Truffle, Revlon Colorstay Liquid Liner in Blackest Black, Revlon 3D Extreme Mascara in Blackest Black.

GET THE LOOK - HAIR: First, pull hair back in 2 back ponytails, a high one and a low one. Slather Bumble and Bumble Styling Creme on the bottom section, to achieve a slick look. Next, take out the top ponytail, and tease at the roots to get height. Brush it back to fall over the bottom ponytail, and mold the section into place with lots of Bumble and Bumble Holding Gel.

Jennifer Connelly for Revlon

Filed under: Cosmetics

So, what do you do after a stint as Balenciaga's campaign princess? Parlay your new found cool girl status into a contract with the ever-popular beauty brand Revlon, of course.

Jennifer Connelly, the beautiful actress with the dark mane and thick eyebrows, has just been tapped by Revlon to serve as their brand's ambassador. What exactly does a role like this entail, you ask? Well, the 37-year-old Oscar winner will star in the brand's global marketing campaign and represent Revlon when attending various charitable fund raising events.

On her new role as Revlon brand ambassador, Connelly says: "Revlon is one of the great iconic brands of today and I am thrilled to be part of a company that has done so much for women around the world."

Spoken like a real politician.

Beauty products that they DON'T recommend

Email thisPosted Jan 27th 2008 at 5:33PM by Sarah J. Gim

Filed under: Hair Care, Cosmetics, Skin Care

Most of the time, we find ourselves asking one another what we use for wash our faces, moisturize, get ride of zits, erase fine lines. Very rarely do we ask the opposite question, "What do you not use?" Why would we? We don't need to know about something we'd never buy and try. Still, TotalBeauty put together a list of the 12 beauty products that earned the lowest ratings from their editors. I guess the best way to use this information is to watch out:

See which products you should avoid:

Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss
Revlon Tourmaline Ionic 1875 Watt Hairdryer
Redken All Soft Gold Glimmer Perfecting Shine Treatment
Murad Firm and Tone Serum
NARS Body Glow
Bobbi Brown Everything Mascara
Skyn Iceland Arctic Face Mist
Maybelline New York Define-a-Lash Mascara
Lush Jungle Conditioner
Sally Hansen Smooth Glow Stubble Reducing Moisturizer
John Frieda Frizz-Ease Straight Answer Spray
Molton Brown Naran Ji Fine Liquid Hand Wash ($23)

Jessica Alba: hot, famous and even richer than before

Email thisPosted Apr 23rd 2007 at 11:57AM by Jonathon Morgan

Jessica Alba, star of TV's Dark Angel, and the amazingly popular Sin City movies, is a popular lady. She was named as one of Playboy magazine's 25 Sexiest Celebrities and Maxim magazine's second hottest woman of 2006, along with winning an MTV Movie Award last year for Sexiest Performance.

Thus, it's really no surprise that she's just signed with Revlon for $5 million. She'll be joining Eva Mendes, Julianne Moore and Halle Berry in promoting the company's line of beauty products.

So what exactly do celebrities do when they sign endorsement deals like this? According to Fashion IQ, Alba's "first job for the cosmetic giant was shooting a 12 hour commercial for 3-D Extreme mascara where she was repeatedly kissed by male models."

Best of luck, Jessica. Sounds like a tough gig for any woman.

Revlon Limited Edition

Email thisPosted Jan 20th 2007 at 11:12AM by Deidre Woollard

Filed under: Cosmetics, Steals and Deals

As a dedicated Drugstore Beauty Queen, I love how certain products and concepts that were previously only available in stores like Sephora are now filtering down to the drugstore brands. A great example is Revlon's Limited Edition Collection which features items like a frosted powder lip topcoat, swirled lip gloss, and sheer gel blush. Given my well-documented palette addiction, the product that most speaks to me is the Golden Affair sculpting blush. It has a base color topped with swirling gold accents that can be used to add a bit of gilded shimmer to your cheeks. And at Revlon prices, I won't feel quite so guilty about actually using this one.

The art of the lash

Email thisPosted Jul 20th 2006 at 8:05PM by Anne Metz

Filed under: Cosmetics

Women expect a lot from their eyelashes: thick, long, separated and curled. Like everything else in beauty, the gold standard is exactly the opposite of the way we all wake up in the morning.

Gone are the days of the simple wand in a standard tube, filled with black goop. According to the New York Times, starting this fall, we will be seeing some major mascara innovation. From the high-end contenders like Chanel and Lancôme, to the drugstore brands like Maybelline and Revlon, be prepared for an array of new wands that resemble everything from a miniature hairbrush (promising) to a tiny cactus (no way I'm putting that next to my eye!).

Because I'm a sucker for cosmetic novelty, I'm eager to see what these wands are going to do for my lashes. With any luck, they'll do the opposite of what they will do to my wallet...
