Britney Spears on January '09 Cover of Glamour

Brtney Spears is on the january cover of Glamour magazine.

and not just stateside, people, but internationally as well!

i read that Glamour is banking on Britney eight times over as she will also be featured on the mag's seven spinoffs at the same time.

it’s rare for a magazine cover shot to run across its international editions simultaneously...but Spears, whose career has been sidetracked by divorce, rehab and public embarrassment, has a lot to gain from the Patrick Demarchelier-shot Glamour covers, which hit stands dec. 3.

"we certainly hope she does well in newsstand land," Glamour top editor Cindi Leive said. "you want to see a cleaned-up Britney talking about what it took to put her life back together."



Britney on the past year:
"this whole year has been a hell of a year for me. i have been working so hard on my album, but…i didn’t know exactly where i stood with everyone."

Britney’s new year’s resolution:
"i would like to stop worrying so much, because i worry all the time. and to learn how to be happier, just in general."

what you may not know about Britney:
"i don’t like going out. i hate clubs. i hate being around too many people. i love my home and staying in bed and watching Dancing With the Stars or reading a Danielle Steel novel."

Britney on her new album:
"recording this album has helped take my mind off certain things. for me, my music is therapy."


i personally am glad to see her looking better and having fresh perspective on her life. it can't be easy being her... read the article here.

Keira Knightley on the November cover of Glamour

when my issue of Glamour arrived in the mailbox last week, i was thrilled to see Keira Knightley looking absolutely gorgeous in its cover.

the brilliant cover features Ms. Knightly in a very comfy, yet chic-looking, cowl-neck sweater that i would love to be able be wearing right now, but unfortunately, the temps here in socal are still acting like it's summer!

so, do you want to get her fresh-faced look? try these products by Chanel:



Chanel Teint Innocence Compact Foundation

Chanel Powder Blush in Narcisse

Chanel Rouge Allure Lip Color in Frivole



p.s. be sure to get this issue, if you don't already have it, and check out the 3-D section- it's a fun way to see the latest trends and ads from your favorite brands.

Rachel Bilson, Ali Larter and Diane Lane on the Cover of Glamour Magazine

The cover of Glamour's october issue features three of hollywood's beautiful leading ladies, Rachel Bilson (27), Ali Larter (32) and Diane Lane (43).

knowing that each of these ladies is in a different decade of life is so refreshing to see. they all look great, and all feel comfortable where they are right now. seeing them reminds me that i don't have to fear my next age of 29 (sounds so cliche, i know...so, if you don't believe me, you'll find that i started this blog days before i turned 28), and that no matter whet my age, i should be confident in it.


For the issue, Rachel Bilson's makeup was done by Carol Shaw for Lorac Cosmetics. she wanted Rachel's eyes to be the focal point, so she did a chocolate smoky eye with black liner. try Lorac Starry-Eyed Baked Eyeshadow Trio in Superstar and Lorac Eye Pencil in Black.

makeup artist Angela Levin played up Ali Larter's natural glow with a bronzer (try Chanel Moisturizing Bronzing Powder in Terre Epice), peachy blush and shimmery pink lip color.

Diane Lane's face is nearly naked thanks to her flawless skin. makeup artist Kate Lee applied a sheer foundation, a bit of concealer, powder blush and a tinted lip balm (try Neutrogena MoistureShine Soothing LipSheers in Spring Blossom.)
