" Many years ago, my dear friend Lauren and I took a French cooking class. And while Lauren went on to write a brilliant cocktail party book, complete with recipes, my cooking skills are limited to things that can be made in the toaster oven. But one thing I remember from the class is the term &amp;quot;mise en place:&amp;quot; basically, getting all your ingredients and utensils ready beforehand so that you don&amp;#039;t have to go searching for stuff while you&amp;#039;re trying to cook. I find doing a cosmetics version of mise en place to be very helpful when I have to get up at the crack of dawn (okay, 6:30am--but that&amp;#039;s really early for a night owl like me) to do a TV segment. And doing it on the road is even better: hotel bathrooms have so much more counter space! So on Tuesday night while I was camped out in Phoenix, Arizona, I created my perfect pre-TV mise en place:  Everything I need, right at my fingertips! If you&amp;#039;re really bored, read on for the details of the routine: Johnson&amp;#039;s Baby Powder: gets applied to the roots of my hair to absorb oil and make my blowout last longer. Secret Platinum Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant: in the pits and between the thighs to prevent chubby chap--when my pulkes (Yiddish for chunky thighs) rub together. Redken Rewind: a paste-like hair product that&amp;#039;s great for taming frizzies and flyaways. Garnier Nutrioniste Moisturizer: with SPF 28. Yes, even at 6:30am Mally Beauty Loose Powder: colorless, so it blots oil without mucking up the rest of my makeup; cleverly packaged so it won&amp;#039;t spill. Senna Barely Base Sheer Mineral Makeup SPF 20: my new favorite foundation! Love it! I can wear it on TV, then walk out of the studio looking even-toned and glowy, not like a masked woman. Almay Bright Eyes Eye Shadows: a little color, a little shimmer, makes me look awake! Scunci slim boar bristle round brush: makes my cowlick behave. Acuvue Moist contact lenses: for TV and special occasions (I got them originally for my wedding! I didn&amp;#039;t want to walk down the aisle in my glasses, but I really wanted to see everyone&amp;#039;s faces--and to be sure it was Hunky Husband waiting for me at the end.). I just have to remember to put them in before I put on my mascara, otherwise I can guarantee black streaks running down my face. Bare Minerals ID On The Spot Eye Makeup Remover: Cotton swabs with a little bit of makeup remover built into the tube; perfect for cleaning up my mascara messes. The Body Shop Face &amp;amp;amp; Body Brush: cruelty-free synthetic hairs that work like the real thing. Erno Lazlo Multi-Phase Bronzer: because man, am I pasty right now. Lots of colors blend together for a natural effect. 100% Pure Sheer Pomegranate Wine Lip Gloss: a pretty, sheer lip gloss to go over my lipstick. Pur Minerals Shea Butter Lipgloss in Black Amethyst: LOVING this lipstick. It&amp;#039;s sheer, almost like a stain, but you can build it if you want to go bolder. Perfect for this fall&amp;#039;s red, bitten lip look (as seen in the September issue of Redbook). Softlips SPF 20 lip balm: never leave home without my spf lip balm. Yummy vanilla flavor. Seki Folding Lash Comb: for the feathery lashes I insist upon. Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara and Lancome High Definicils Mascara: see here for details. Sephora Lush Flush Wine Lip &amp;amp;amp; Cheek Stain: for a pretty cheek flush. Goody StayPut Elastic: to keep my hair out of the way while I&amp;#039;m applying all this stuff! Okay, that&amp;#039;s it. Phew! Here&amp;#039;s a photo of me all done up, waiting in the green room at Sonoran Living (the red-eye is from the camera, not from any of my lovely products).
