News: Elizabeth Hurley, Marisa Acocella Marchetto and Estee Lauder “Win the Fight Against Breast Cancer”

October 4th, 2007 by Karen 13 Comments

Today, while attending the Bloomingdale’s San Francisco Estee Lauder Event with Elizabeth Hurley, actress and Estee Lauder spokesmodel, and Marisa Acocella Marchetto, catoonist and author of the graphic memoir Cancer Vixen, I had the most profound thought:

Hugh Grant has got to be a weirdo.

Boy done lost his mind (or went temporarily blind) when he decided to cheat on Liz with a two-dolla hooker because Elizabeth is absolutely beautiful in person. I stood less than two feet away from her while taking these pictures and seriously, the lady is hot! And I’m a straight woman, ya’ll.

Elizabeth and Marisa were on the second stop of a three-city tour to promote Breast Cancer Awareness and raise funds for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Elizabeth signed limited-edition Estee Lauder products and Marisa signed her book, Cancer Vixen.

A long line of fans and cancer survivors were on hand to meet with the lovely ladies, who chatted and signed plenty of limited-edition Breast Cancer Awareness products that were available for purchase, including Estee Lauder Pink Ribbon High Gloss and pink makeup bags from LeSportsac.

Makeup junkies, if haven’t been to Bloomingdale’s in San Francisco schedule a visit ASAP! You just might get lost in the ginormous cosmetics department on the first floor and leave with big brown bags full of goodies.

Friday is just around the corner, ya’ll! Woo hoo! I’m really looking forward to tomorrow because my lovely parents will be driving up to my hood to have dinner with me. Plus, my mom is going to bring me some Filipino dishes she made ‘specially for me. I’m so easy. Bribe me with makeup or food, and I’m devoted forever.

Have a wonderful rest of your week!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Looks like fun!

    Oh, home cooking, I miss that. I’ll be heading to my parents’ place on Saturday myself, though I doubt they’ve unpacked enough to desire to cook yet!

    Haha! I think I’ve met my MAC quota for awhile, and hell, we haven’t even hit holiday yet. Oh, goodness, first holiday collection hits us the 18th, gahh.

    Sure, that counts, and I think that was the last thing I cooked from scratch!

    Utterly in trouble!

    Oh, it’s just some Betty Crocker recipe, and it didn’t even turn out THAT great. I should have called my mom for her recipe, which is a modification of Betty Crocker’s, I think. I’m pretty sure she just doubles or triples all of the bad stuff for you (butter, sugar, those things!), ha.

    Kia, if you like it then go to the Estee Lauder counter this weekend, ’cause it’s limited edition. I believe it’s sold out online.

    It’s very pretty in person! I wanted to swatch it and try it on but got sucked into a long convo with the ladies over at Clinique.

    Lemme know if you get it and like it!

    Aww, Natryce. Her makeup did look great, and she’s actually really beautiful when you get close to her. (She was wearing a slinky dress that a lot of women can’t get away with!)

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
