Beauty addicts, rejoice! Make Up For Ever is now open at Westfield Garden State Plaza (second floor, near Neiman Marcus). It’s the Paris-based brand’s first freestanding shop in New Jersey and its fourth in the United States. Make Up For Ever is the gold standard in makeup for professional artists—but fortunately for novices like me, the Paramus boutique caters to all clientele.

Among the store’s unique services is a record-ing studio, in which a client can record a lesson with a makeup artist and then take that video home to recreate the look and share on social media. There’s also “makeup school,” a series of classes on application techniques and how to achieve spe-cific looks, ranging from balanced brow and classic contour to extreme coverage and intense smoky eye. Lesson prices range from $50 to $100, and half the cost is redeemable for products.

I met with makeup artist Rachel Rashefsky for a lesson in foundation and highlighting, and she matched me with an exact shade of the brand’s best-selling foundation (HD Invisible Cover, $42), which comes in 26 shades to suit all skin tones. It felt light and creamy and made my skin look flawless. It also stayed on well into the evening, on what was day five of a heat wave.

I’m in love with the results! Unlike my previous makeup “lessons,” I went home feeling confident that I can actually replicate the look myself. For me, that knowledge is worth the price.

For the more skilled, the shop has lots to offer, including a lash bar, more than 100 lipstick shades and a revamped line of 72 makeup brushes debut-ing this month. —JOANNA YEUNG

MOMS IN MOTION When Dana Anello White moved to Waldwick three years ago, the fitness professional wasn’t sure what she should do career-wise. Launch a personal training business? Return to the physical therapy field? The proverbial light bulb went off when she bumped into a former client, who told her about Moms in Motion, a national community of women whose focus is fitness and philanthropy. Two weeks later, White launched Moms in Motion Bergen County.

In May 2012, 26 skeptical women showed up at the Duck Pond in Ridge-wood for White’s “couch to 5K” adventure. Nine weeks later, they crossed the finish line of their first 5K. “Many of them had doubted their ability to run three minutes, yet they ran three miles with ease,” recalls White. “More important, I witnessed how a simple yet critical lifestyle change carried over to their daily lives, making them stronger both physically and mentally.”

Today, the group numbers more than 100 women from Bergen County and beyond—Fort Lee to Franklin Lakes, South Plainfield to Pearl River. And White now offers four sessions on Saturday, Sunday and Monday mornings.

LEAD WITH LEEDZ For happier dog walks, strap on Leedz®, a leash that is specially designed to be comfy for both pet and owner. It’s a poly-blend rope-style leash (making it durable yet easy on the hands), and it features a 360-degree swivel snap for full range of motion. The leashes are also available in two diameters—3⁄8˝ for ca-nines up to 50 pounds and 5⁄8˝ for larger breeds. “No dog is too tough for this leash,” says Bergen County resident Heather Groll De Vaul, who owns the company behind Leedz, Purple Pebble. “The thicker leash was tested on 950 pounds of force.”

WE’VE GOT FALL BOOKEDOUR EDITORS PICK THE PUBLISHERS’

AUTUMN 2013 RELEASES THEY’RE MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO

LOCAL BUZZ

SEPTEMBER 2013 | BERGENHEALTHANDLIFE.COM26

RITA GUARNA, EDITOR IN CHIEFDavid Hockney: A Bigger Exhibition by David Hockney and Richard Benefield, Prestel, $75, Oct. 1“Twenty-five summers ago, my husband and I visited the Met to see David Hockney’s retrospective exhibit. I was mesmerized by Hockney’s playfulness and his use of vibrant color. I’m curious to see this tome, which promises more than 200 full-color works, some from the artist’s private studio, plus his iPad drawings.”

MEREDITH McBRIDE KIPP, ART DIRECTORMario Buatta: Fifty Years of American Interior Decoration by Mario Buatta, Rizzoli, $75, Oct. 8 “I’ll be drooling over this retrospective from a decorating legend. Trust me; you’ve seen his work. He made English Country House style a style and has decorated homes for Henry Ford II, Barbara Walters and Malcolm Forbes. I’m eager for the decorating insights of this respected, très chic gentleman—as well as his stories from along the way.”

CAROL BIALKOWSKI, MANAGING EDITORMichael Symon’s 5 in 5: 5 Fresh Ingredients + 5 Minutes = 120 Fantastic Dinners, by Michael Symon and Douglas Trattner, Clarkson Potter, $20, Sept. 3 “I have a husband and two young children, I work full-time, and I love to cook. So a book that promises to help me get a delicious dinner on the table in five minutes is going to grab my attention because that’s about all the time I have when I walk in the door.”

TIMOTHY KELLEY, SENIOR EDITORThe Bully Pulpit by Doris Kearns Goodwin, Simon & Schuster, $37.50, Nov. 5 “I can’t wait to see what the wise and wonderful Goodwin makes of the combustible combo of Teddy Roosevelt, William Howard Taft and the muckraking journalists of the early 20th century. Her Team of Rivals, about another president and his cabinet (basis of the hit movie Lincoln), was so good I read it twice.”

JOANNA YEUNG, ASSOCIATE EDITORCommand and Control by Eric Schlosser, The Penguin Press, $36, Sept. 17“The best-selling author of Fast Food Nation brings us what’s billed as an eye-opening exposé of America’s nuclear age. Knowing Schlosser, I expect it to be well researched, enter-taining and unforgettable. Central to the book is a behind-the-scenes account of the silo accident in Arkansas in 1980, in which a missile was thrown but did not explode.”

CAITLIN MURPHY, EDITORIAL ASSISTANTBridget Jones: Mad About the Boy by Helen Fielding, Knopf Doubleday, $25.95, Oct. 15“Sometimes I just need a good laugh, and Fielding’s portrayal of Bridget Jones, a thirty-something singleton on a seemingly end-less quest for true love and self-acceptance, never fails to enter-tain. It’s been 14 years since the last installment of this series, and I’m eager to see how all the characters have changed.”

Say what you will about today’s explosion of media, there’s still nothing like curling up with a brand-new book, whether you turn those pages in a traditional bound hardback or on a backlit screen. That’s why Bergen Health & Life’s editors took a sneak peek at the publishers’ offerings for this fall, and each picked one soon-to-be-published tome they eagerly await:
