SATC Sexy Red Carpet Eyes

Metallic Eyes for Spring & Summer


Metallics were everywhere on the red carpet for the premiere of the New Sexy and the City movie. From metallic gowns and dresses, to shoes, handbags, and make-up. It was a very glamorous evening and one that has been receiving lots of press.

The ladies from Sex and the City didn’t disappoint, and new comer Jennifer Hudson was beautifully in line with her gorgeous metallic eyes. Her alluring gaze was infused with striking shades of golds, and ambers just in time for summer.

To get the look Beth suggests using metallic eyeshadows in gold, ambers, and bronze tones. They’re easy to blend and look beautiful on most skin tones. You will also have more freedom coordinating with your wardrobe since metallics take on different hues in the light.

For super sexy eyes like Jennifer’s beth suggests using her new Smoky eye kit in SGB. It also has a smoky eye and cat eye stencil for those gals who want to go Hollywood sexy.

LORAC Hollywood Heat Set


While we are on the subject of getting your glow on, have you checked out this oh so hot set from LORAC? This is a deal not to be missed! For $35, that’s right only $35 you get all of these fabulous products and this adorable metallic make-up bag. A definite “must have” for the summer ladies.

The Hollywood Heat Set comes with everything you need for a sunkissed glow. This one is a limited-edition and exclusive to Sephora so get yours before they are gone baby gone.

Clarins Delicious Self-Tanner


Looking for a self tanner to jump start your golden glow for the summer? Look no further, Clarins New Delicious Self-Tanning Cream for the body has just been added to our list of new Fave’s.

A delicate lotion that feels great going on and a caramel color that ensures the perfect application every time.

A four ounce jar will set you back $40 but your skin will thank you for not baking in the sun to get such a natural looking tan.

beth bender Donates 15% of all sales thru July


Sometimes we get caught up in our crazy lives, our families, work and forget that things are not always so easy for others elsewhere, as in the case of this horrible disaster in China. The earth quake that hit China’s Sichuan Province on May 12th destroyed thousands of buildings in the area, as well as infrastructure like communication networks and electrical towers.

Thousands of people died and many are still missing, some of them little children, and more than 270,000 were injured. The earthquake left an estimated five million people homeless. Many schools were destroyed, including one that had at least 900 students in it. This earthquake is the worst natural disaster to hit China in 30 years.

To help out with the relief fund and get China back on its feet beth bender beauty is donating 15% of all sales to the American Red Cross for the next two months. That means that every time you purchase any beth bender beauty products between now and July 30th we will give the American Red Cross 15% of your sale. When you think of all of the money women spend each day on beauty products (us included) that can add up to a lot and the best part is you’re helping a country in need and getting a fabulous beauty product. How great is that?

We know there are so many cosmetic companies to choose from, and so many choices for beauty products so we thank you in advance for choosing beth bender beauty and helping to save a country and people in desperate need.

Love & Light,

Get Gorgeous Skin Now


Every once in a while I come across a skin care line that is outstanding and when I do I always share. I have always been a girl who takes good care of her skin but as gravity begins to make it’s adjustments, its not enough to just moisturize your face, you need a skin care line that can target specific area’s such as sun damage, fine lines, and elasticity just to name a few.

My latest find Somme Institute Skin Care does this and more. In just a few weeks since I have been using the skin care line my skin has been transformed to beautiful again. I noticed a difference within the first few days of using and as I continue to use my skin becomes more and more radiant.

What makes this line so different is MDT5 (Molecular Dispersion Technology), a revolutionary and radical new technology developed and patented by Somme Institute. MDT5 is the next generation of skin care science and Somme Institute has spent years of research and development with proven results that have been documented and validated by dermatologists and researchers at Yale, Harvard, University of Pennsylvania and New York University.

MDT5 works by penetrating the inner layers in their active forms at high concentrations. Free- radical fighting vitamins A, B3/B5, C, D and E are all working together to target specific skin receptors and the result is intense hydration and moisture, repairing sun damage and discoloration, smoothing fine lines, wrinkles and crepiness, Increasing the density of the dermal matrix, and increasing skin elasticity with continued use.

I could on and on but the products speak for themselves. The line is simple to use and is clinically proven to dramatically change the overall appearance of your skin. It has definitely changed the way my skin looks and as I continue to use everyday I see more and more of a difference.

The line consists of six products starting with the Nourishing Cleanser, used twice daily, in the morning and evening, followed by Transport which are treatment pads that remove any excess dirt and make-up from your face as well as prepping your skin for the next step which is the fabulous Serum applied to your face, neck and upper chest area. Did I mention how great these smell too! After the Serum comes the A-Bomb, a moisturizer whose name speaks for itself. Another great thing about the line is each of the products are color-coded so you always know which one to grab.

Double Defense is the last step before applying the Eye cream. I love this cream so much and it has an SPF of 30+. How amazing is that. Especially living in Los Angeles where you are constantly exposed to the sun. It feels fantastic every time I put it on and sometimes I even mix with my cream foundation for the perfect tinted moisturizer. Finally the eyes, so many leave this step out but to avoid fine lines and crepiness always use an eye cream. The Eye cream from Somme is wonderful and is definitely doing its job on my eyes.


Somme Institute Skin Care

1 - Nourishing Cleanser, $40

2- Transport (fifty treatment pads) $58

3- Serum, $82

4- A-Bomb, $70

5- Double Defense, $48

6- Eye, $72

Mobile Kit (5 Step), $85


All of the products work on all skin types, how great is that, and are available at selected spas nationwide or through the Somme Institute by visiting their website at www.sommeinstitute.com. You can also call their skincare hotline at 1-866-66SOMME. They also offer a great Mobile Kit which is fantastic for traveling and has everything but the Eye cream.

Unlike so many skin care lines that make promises they can’t deliver, Somme Institute puts its money where its mouth is and delivers with flawless, beautiful skin, and results that can be seen within days of using. A definite “must have” in my beauty regime.
