This palette is the one item I need no matter what I’m getting ready for.

Jessica get her gorgeous golden locks from using her BFF’s, Ken Paves, new product Healthy Hair Boost Ups Color Drops in Honey (above). “I’ve been using this bair boost , developed by a good friend of mine, before blow drying, and you can see such a huge difference in my color.”

When traveling to perform, or to follow her NFL player boyfriend Tony Romo, Jessica’s best tip is to use Ziploc bags to hold all her makeup in case something breaks or explodes.

Jess’s all time favorite handbag designer is Louis Vuitton. “I collect Louis Vuitton bags. I’m sort of obsessed with them. Whenever a new one comes out, I have to have it immediately.”

In her closet, Jessica has lots of pieces from Juicy Couture, Alexander McQueen, Levi’s, Ralph Lauren, Gucci and Karen Zamobs. And her advice for this Fall is pairing a leather jacket with a good old pair of jeans.

You can’t go wrong with a pair of great fitting jeans and a leather jacket. It’s my go to outfit this season.

How To Copy Audrina Patridge’s Eye Makeup

The Hills Audrina Patridge always rocks glamourous eye makeup – now you can copy her look.

Audrina says “My eyes are hazel, but sometimes they’ll look more brown, amber, or green. When my hair is dark, it brings out the green.”

She says she loves black eyeliner and lines her inner rims of her lash lines, top and bottom. For a more dramatic look, she’ll g back over the top to darken it a bit. “If I mess up, I’ll just smudge the line with my finger  and put eye shadow over it.”

For an evening look she’ll switch to green, violet, or blue liner and make it thick on the top and winged oout at the ends.

Audrina’s favorite shadow is MAC’s All The Glitters as the base and a dark brown or maroon right in the crease. For mascara she applies Too Faced Lash Injection to make her lashes long and full. When she goes out she applies Benefit’s Gilded highlighter on her brow bone for a nice pop!
