Jolie on NBC Today

Finally! Nadine Haobsh, aka Jolie in NYC, was on this morning's Today show at ~9:40. If you didn't get a chance to see it "live," here's a link to the video on the Today show Web site:


Look flawless in five minutes

Nadine looked fabulous, of course, and her makeup was flawless! I loved how they took one of the Today staffers (I assume) and timed her while she applied makeup using Nadine's tips on how to look flawless in 5 minutes. She made it look and sound so easy, and having a model demonstrate the process step-by-step (albeit in the abbreviated time frame of a morning show segment) helps in seeing how it all comes together. My own morning routine can be even shorter -- i.e., just barely enough time to brush my hair and swipe lip gloss -- but even someone like me who is sometimes afraid of makeup can do this routine! And seeing how gorgeous the Bare Escentuals foundation looks on her face (and that of the model -- I assumed she was using Bare Escentuals), I'm definitely going to have to try it out.

Thanks, Nadine! And thanks for letting us know how to pronounce your last name! (Note: Natalie Morales needs to pay better attention to her guests, or at least get some listening skills. Even after Nadine gave her the proper pronunciation of her last name, Morales still screwed it up, then laughed about it as if she were thinking, Good grief, why do you have to have such a difficult name? You'd be a better reporter if you had decent listening skills, Natalie. Seriously.)
