"Good morning, everyone! I&amp;amp;#8217;ve got a treat to ease you back from the long weekend: A conversation with Tina (left) and Kelly (right), the warm, sweet founders of the fabulous network of lifestyle sites BeautySnob.com, BagSnob.com, TotSnob.com, CoutoureSnob.com and JewelSnob.com. After the jump, find out all about the products that get their stamp of approval and how these ladies make being a snob a really, really good thing&amp;amp;#8212;um...when it comes to makeup, that is.TGBD: What&amp;#x27;s the last product you tried that you absolutely fell in love with? Kelly: Eye liner is the most important product for me so I am always trying new liners, be it liquid, gel, pencil, etc. But I think I found the ONE! The Hourglass Calligraphy liner is a liquid liner but instead of a brush tip it is a felt tip so it is firm and easy to control and it goes on completely opaque and not watery. LOVE!! Tina: I am all about good skin and wearing makeup that doesn&amp;#x27;t look like makeup. I recently discovered Jane Iredale&amp;#x27;s mineral makeup&amp;amp;#8212;specifically the Amazing Base. I&amp;#x27;ve always had great skin but now people are stopping me everywhere I go and complimenting me on my skin. It&amp;#x27;s not overly shiny like most mineral makeup, it just looks like you have flawless skin. TGBD: What shampoo is in your shower right now (and why do you like it)? Kelly: I use Goldwell for color treated hair. It keeps my hair shiny, conditioned and minimizes the visits to my colorist! Tina: Davines. It&amp;#x27;s as organically luxurious as you can get. The Dede Delicate Ritual Shampoo doesn&amp;#x27;t dry my hair and leaves it shiny and soft. TGBD: What lipgloss/lipstick do you wear the most out of every tube you have? Kelly: LipFusion in Blush. What can I say? I wish I had bigger lips! It also keeps my lips from chapping which is a very nice added benefit. Tina: Fresh Arabesque. It does not matter if I am wearing other glosses, I always top off with a coat of Arabesque! TGBD: Who&amp;#x27;s your personal beauty icon(s)? Kelly: I love Gwen Stefani just because she does what I wish I could do but can&amp;#x27;t. I am not one for dramatic makeup and obviously her signature red lips but she has found her &amp;quot;look&amp;quot; and it has become her brand. On a totally different level, I also love Bobbi Brown because she is an amazing business woman and she really knows what a woman needs so all her products are great. Tina: My 96 year-old grandmother. She taught me the virtues of beauty&amp;amp;#8212; inside and out. TGBD: What the question you get asked the most when people hear you write about makeup for a living? Kelly: Everyone has a &amp;quot;problem&amp;quot; area, be it sun spots, acne, etc. so I always get questions about what to use for whatever the problem is. And in case you&amp;#x27;re wondering: For sunspots, Lightening Drops by Arcona is a miracle worker; And for Acne, believe it or not, the Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil will balance out any skin&amp;amp;#8212;you just have to pick the right oil for your skin. It will clean our your pores like you won&amp;#x27;t believe and add back the moisture you need. Most of the time, acne is caused by dry skin which clogs the pores because of the dead skin cells it leaves, so I always recommend a good exfoliant. Tina: Skincare. Women finally understand that good makeup starts with great skin. I get a lot of questions from young women in their early 20&amp;#x27;s who would like to start taking care of their skin now in order to avoid drastic measures later! TGBD: And finally, what trend are you psyched to see happening right now? Kelly: I love that the beauty world is getting all tech-y with cool gadgets. I just got a Remington Emi Airwave Dryer that curls your hair by swirling it around in a wind tunnel. I was obsessed for weeks and had mad curly hair for all the holidays parties I went to. Big change with no commitments, what can be better than that? Plus, it is really fun having a gadget war with my tech-y husband! Tina: MEGA LASHES! I am obsessed with lashes and love that there are so many products out there to condition, primp, curl, and grow them! Thanks ladies&amp;amp;#8212;great advice! And that Remington dryer just might be our readers&amp;amp;#8217; answers to Gisele waves! Readers, if you liked what you saw here, make sure to head over to BeautySnob.com!
