		<description><![CDATA[Fab hats make a comeback this season and help protect you from the sun]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/kimcatrall-sexandthecity.jpg"  title="Kim Catrall Big Sun Hat in Sex and the City Movie" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/kimcatrall-sexandthecity.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Kim Catrall Big Sun Hat in Sex and the City Movie" align="right" /></a>The summer is here and the sun is stronger than ever!  Not to worry, hats are making a huge comeback this season and the trend is the bigger the better.  I think Samantha on Sex and the City proves it in her huge woven sun hat on her deck she used to cover her face while checking out her gorgeous neighbor.</p>
<p><a href="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/heidi-montag-derby-hat.jpg"  title="Heidi Montag Big Pink Sun Hat"></a></p>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/heidi-montag-derby-hat.jpg"  title="Heidi Montag Big Pink Sun Hat" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/heidi-montag-derby-hat.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Heidi Montag Big Pink Sun Hat" align="left" /></a></div>
<p>Hats are your summer accessory must have, but are a totally personal choice to how you want to show off your style.  Here are some of our favorites that help give you some ideas.<br />
<a href="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/kokin-floppy-ribbon-hat.jpg"  title="Kokin Floppy Ribbon Hat from Bergdorf Goodman" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/kokin-floppy-ribbon-hat.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Kokin Floppy Ribbon Hat from Bergdorf Goodman" align="right" /></a>The Kokin Floppy Ribbon Hat comes in black or white trim and you can find it at Bergdorf Goodman.  It is absolutely fabulous and extremely durable, this will last all season into next!<br />
<a href="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/juicy-couture-visor-hat.jpg"  title="Juicy Couture Visor Hat" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/juicy-couture-visor-hat.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Juicy Couture Visor Hat" align="left" /></a>The Juicy Couture Visor is so cute and can be worn with just about anything!  You will definitely be the cutest girl out on the golf course with this sassy pink hat.  Remember, hats are very personal, so style it up the way you want to show off.</p>
<p>Don’t forget about the summer must have!  The Fedora Hat!  All the celebs are sporting this one on set, off set, shopping, whatever!  It is such a great way to cover up a bad hair day!<br />
<a href="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/fedora.jpg"  title="Celebrities Wearing Fedora Hats" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/fedora.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Celebrities Wearing Fedora Hats" align="left" /></a><a href="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/indiana-jones-fedora-hat.jpg"  title="Indiana Jones Fedora Hat" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/indiana-jones-fedora-hat.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Indiana Jones Fedora Hat" align="left" /></a></p>
<p>&#8230;and with Indiana Jones being all the rage among the guys, a fedora for him isn’t a bad idea at all!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[YSL: Yves Saint Laurent fashion icon and one of the greatest designers of all time dies at 71 in Paris on Sunday.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/ysl1.jpg"  title="Yves Saint Laurent - Fashion Icon" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/ysl1.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Yves Saint Laurent - Fashion Icon" align="left" /></a><strong>Yves Saint Laurent</strong> is considered to be one of the greatest designers of all time.  He has graced us with his incredible passion for design throughout his career and died in Paris late Sunday at the young age of 71.</p>
<p><a href="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/yves.jpg"  title="YSL: Yves Saint Laurent - Legendary Designer" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/yves.thumbnail.jpg" alt="YSL: Yves Saint Laurent - Legendary Designer" align="right" /></a>At the age of 22, Yves Saint Laurent began his career as a fabulous new designer for Christian Dior.  His iconic designs and countless contributions to fashion have paved the way for many young designers and inspired many around the world to become a part of the incredible world of fashion and beauty.</p>
<p>Yves Saint Laurent Beauty has become a destination for the latest trends and perfect combinations to achieve any desired look.  <strong>YSL Beauty</strong> continues to use innovative tools and be the first to launch the latest in techniques for all of your beauty needs.  YSL launched <strong><em>Touche Eclat</em></strong>, which is now a staple in the industry for all eye brightening products to follow.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/yves1.jpg"  title="YSL" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/yves1.thumbnail.jpg" alt="YSL" /></a><a href="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/ysl-mondrian-dress.jpg"  title="Yves Saint Laurent - Mondrian Dress (French Vogue 1965)" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/ysl-mondrian-dress.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Yves Saint Laurent - Mondrian Dress (French Vogue 1965)" /></a><a href="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/ysl-opium.JPG"  title="YSL Fragrances: Opium" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/ysl-opium.thumbnail.JPG" alt="YSL Fragrances: Opium" /></a><a href="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/ysl-touche-eclat.jpg"  title="YSL Beauty: Touche Eclat" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/ysl-touche-eclat.thumbnail.jpg" alt="YSL Beauty: Touche Eclat" /></a></p>
<p>Intense attention to detail and passion for women is expressed in all of Yves Saint Laurent designs as well as his entire beauty line.  YSL Beauty embellishes the designer’s respect and love for all women with its gorgeous packaging and sophisticated color stories.</p>
<p>The fashion and beauty of Yves Saint Laurent has always been a  personal favorite and I will continue to turn to his lifetime as an inspiration.   Yves Saint Laurent quickly became a fashion icon from the moment he stepped onto the design scene, and his memory and love and devotion to all women and their beauty will live on forever.  We will all miss <strong>Yves Saint Laurent</strong> but his unparalleled sense of color and beauty will continue to be inspiration to all designers and lovers of fashion throughout the world.</p>

She recently took to the catwalk in Heatherette, (the F. U. to the establishment of the  fashion industry) for this year’s Fashion Week in NY (watch a <a href="http://video.nymag.com/?fr_story=ba3aefdd8721ae87bad89eb4fb793f20aff77a96&amp;rf=bm" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://video.nymag.com/?fr_story=ba3aefdd8721ae87bad89eb4fb793f20aff77a96&amp;rf=bm');" target="_blank">short clip of Heatherette</a> from New York Magazine).</p>
<p>Amanda had her first cosmetic surgery at the age of 15 and then had a sex change in her final year of high school.</p>
<p>She is one of the most photographed club “celebrities” in NY and is known for her ability to transform herself from one character to the next, being best known for her look of old Hollywood glamour.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.amandaleporeonline.com/photos/01/19.jpg" xxxenlarge="110" height="318" width="211" /><img src="http://www.amandaleporeonline.com/photos/05/17.jpg" xxxenlarge="110" height="317" width="205" /><img src="http://www.amandaleporeonline.com/photos/03/17.jpg" xxxenlarge="110" height="316" width="199" /></p>
<p>In an interview, Amanda says that she hasn’t had that much plastic surgery, only her breasts (twice), her butt, some silicone in her lips and some silicone in her forehead.  I don’t know about you, but I think that seems like quite a bit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left"><img src="http://beyondbeautybasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/biel_fresh.png" alt="biel_fresh.png" align="left" />This week in US weekly, Jessica Beil is said to love the new Mangosteen soap from Fresh.  This sweet soap is the latest addition to the Fresh soap family and it is absolutely scrumptious!!!  I had to go out and try a bar myself, because as you all know, I am a huge fan of Fresh.</p>
<p>Fresh soaps are known for their beautiful packaging, I mean, I didn’t even want to open mine up!    So I bought two!!!  After I finally got over having to rip through the gorgeous paper, I got to experience the soap and I love it!  Then I had to investigate this fabulous scent… come to find out, Mangosteen is actually a real fruit from southeast Asia and it is delicious!  I went to Whole Foods and got one to try, and it tastes exactly the way it smells!  This purple fruit is white on the inside and you scoop it out with a spoon almost like you would a grapefruit. The inside is white and pulpy with an amazing sweet citrus is bursting with flavor.</p>
<p>There is also a Mangosteen body lotion, shower gel, and a Mangosteen Fragrance!  This might have to be my new favorite Fresh collection!  Stop by your local Sephora, <a href="http://neimanmarcus.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://neimanmarcus.com');" class="kblinker" title="More about Neiman Marcus &raquo;">Neiman Marcus</a>, or Barneys location and you can always check out Fresh.com for all of your favorite Fresh products!</p>

Kristin Davis will appear in the company’s ads in print and internet as well as fashion and lifestyle books.</p>
<p>Ahava, if you have never heard of it or tried it, is truly an incredible brand.  It infuses high-quality ingredients and uses minerals from the Dead Sea.  You skin will feel absolutely revitalized after you experience the products.</p>
<p>As Kristin stated in WWD, “I noticed a difference in my skin the first time I had an experience with them at a spa.”</p>
<p>Ahava does hope to bring a “Dead Sea spa center” to New York soon to give customers treatments and float in a salt pool.  I don’t know about you, but I will definitely be there!</p>
<p>Look for Kristin late this year and definitely in January.  She is going to bring a natural radiance to the brand that we should only expect from Ahava.</p>

<p>She is a prime example for those of you who<img src="http://japan.helnwein.com/stc/ghpicts/gh2343.jpg" xxxenlarge="190" align="right" height="182" width="275" /> want to be a perfect lady during the day and a little naughty in the bedroom.</p>
<p>Wearing something sexy under your usual work clothing may just give you that extra something you need in your next business meeting to close the deal.  Just knowing that you still “have it’ sometimes means more than actually even doing anything with “it”.<img src="http://ww2.tagheuer.com/_img/News/2006/Events/women%20events%2006/big/01tag-heuer-Dita-Von-Teese.jpg" xxxenlarge="160" align="left" height="209" width="160" /></p>
<p>Visit Dita’s web site to get some ideas as well as to possibly buy some much needed lingerie.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/20070412/293.barrymore.drew2.041207.jpg" xxxenlarge="190" align="right" height="270" width="168" />It’s about time we all gave drugstore brands a chance, and even my good friend “S” the luxury cosmetic brand snob has found something he loves in L’Oreal H.I.P. Shadows the other day… but I have something better….<br />
<a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Ig26Bvqz03o&amp;offerid=43440.181953&amp;type=2&amp;subid=0" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Ig26Bvqz03o&amp;offerid=43440.181953&amp;type=2&amp;subid=0');">Lash Blast Mascara</a> by Cover Girl has hit the cosmetic scene and they have the beautiful and sophisticated Drew Barrymore as their spokeswoman.  Lash Blast takes volume to the next level with a bigger brush with tons of bristles that will separate, lengthen and volumize each application.  There is no clumping because the brush doesn’t dump product on the lash, it stays on the brush and as you apply you can build the volume you are looking for.  This is truly the false lash look that you and every girl needs!  Lash Blast will come in four colors and retail for only $7.49 a tube, this is a no-brainer!  You just have to try it!</p>
<p><img src="http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2007/startracks/070423/drew_barrymore.jpg" xxxenlarge="190" align="left" height="234" width="176" />Barrymore actually served as the co-creative director for the ad campaign and she looks absolutely glamorous!  Barrymore recently stated in WWD, “I love it. The product, the message, it has always said, ‘Be true to yourself,’ instead of fitting into a mold.  It’s about being the best version of what you are.  That’s important, especially with beauty and women.”</p>
<p>She also said, “Lovely, long, spidery, beautiful lashes are alluring and sexy, like a finger extending out drawing someone in.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some of the wealthiest people in the world control the companies that put cosmetics and skincare on your face.  Here are just a few of them.</p>
<p align="center"><strong>Bernard Arnault</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.lvmh.com/images/left/2005BA.jpg" xxxenlarge="190" /></p>
<p><strong># 7 </strong>on the Forbes list with $26 Billion in assets.  Bernard owns LVMH, (which stands for Louis Vuitton, Moet, Hennessy).  LVMH also owns <em><strong>Christian Dior, Fresh, Guerlain, Givenchy</strong></em> and <em><strong>Sephora</strong></em>  (to name a few).</p>
<p align="center"><strong>Liliane Bettencourt</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://images.forbes.com/media/lists/10/2007/F6EZ.jpg" xxxenlarge="190" /></p>
<p><strong>#12</strong>  on the Forbes list with $12.7 Billion in assets.  Liliane is the proud owner of L&#8217;Oreal.</p>
<p>L&#8217;Oreal owns <em><strong>L&#8217;Oreal</strong></em> (obviously), <em><strong>Lancome, Kiehls, Shu Uemura</strong></em> and <em><strong>Armani</strong></em>.</p>
<p align="center"><strong>Leonard and Ronald Lauder</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://images.forbes.com/media/lists/10/2007/SCAS.jpg" xxxenlarge="190" /></p>
<p>Leonard and Ronald are <strong>#’s 249</strong> and <strong>#287 </strong>on the Forbes list with a combined $6.7 Billion in assets.  Their mother, Estee Lauder formed the Estee Lauder company in 1946.  The company has grown considerably since then as they now own <em><strong>Estee Lauder</strong></em>, <em><strong>Clinique, Prescriptives</strong></em>, <em><strong>Origins</strong></em>, <em><strong>Crème de la Mer</strong></em>, <em><strong>Bobbi Brown</strong></em>, <em><strong>Aveda</strong></em>, <em><strong>Darphin</strong></em>, <em><strong>MAC</strong></em>,<em><strong> Jo Malone, Donna Karan, Missoni, Aramis, Lab Series, Kiton, Flirt, grass roots,  good skin, Sean John Fragrances, Bumble and Bumble, Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger</strong></em> and <strong><em>American Beauty</em></strong>.  Quite a mouthful, isn’t it?</p>
<p align="center"><strong> Count and Countess D’Ornano</strong></p>
<p>Although, not the wealthiest of the cosmetic giants, the Count and Countess D’Ornano, owners of <em><strong>Sisley Cosmetics</strong></em>, certainly have the pedigree’s and style to produce one of the world’s best luxury skincare lines.</p>
<p align="center">The Countess<strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/socialdiary/2006/09_18_06/images/P1140018.jpg" xxxenlarge="190" /></p>
<p>Here are a few pictures from inside the Paris home of the D’Ornano’s&#8230;</p>

<p>All this, and so much more, from some face paint and soap.</p>
