Totally drinking this bad boy tonight! Yum!!!

We ordered from this place last night. A large cheese pie was 15 bucks, which wasn’t too terrible. It came piping hot though and was delicious. The cheese was tasty unlike you know when you get some that tastes and feels like rubberbands? ick! Not this. It was great. We got the pesto pasta too. It said a “touch” of cream but what they really meant was a cup. It wasn’t that tasty. The way to go I think is the pizza here. Came really quickly too!So good I ate 4 pieces…literally.

While writing this review we were psyched to find that it’s actually BYOB…I mean, so is my apartment but if I should have the desire to leave my glorious new apartment I’ll head here for sure!

I was lucky enough to be invited to a pre-launch party for the new Sephora store. I was greeted with champagne and the adorable, smiling face of the cutest makeup guru ever. Lauren is a 27 year-old single mom from England who is the poster child for YouTube and the power of new media.  Her journey to online fame began when she started broadcasting innovative how-to makeup tutorials from her bedroom. Since then she has skyrockedted to become the UK’s most watched channel on YouTube with over 43 million views and 230,000 subscribers across 70 countries. As a result she launched her own cosmetics line, which will be available at Sephora.

Lauren’s goal is to make women look hot. She tries to create celeb inspired looks for the rest of us.

The Kits

My Smokey Classics ($32.50)

My Fierce Violets ($32.50)

There are also several other colors available. Visit ByLaurenLuke.com to see.
Our fave thing about these kits is that they’re easy to use and go in order of what you need. Starting at the top left you apply the base then the eyeshadow, blush,liner, etc. finishing of course with the lipstick. These weren’t our fave, but you know it’s hard to match lipstick perfectly for everyone. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure!

The palates will be released in September 2009 to 135 Sephora locations nationwide, at which time Lauren will be debuting a new version of each kit, which will include a brand new light sheer pink lipgloss

You can dress her up all you want, Karl…she’s still a hot mess in real life most of the time so I’m not buying the put-together-ness. That’s not the beauty of Lily.

When the cast of Saved by the Bell assembled for this week’s PEOPLE photo shoot and cover story (cover attached), everyone breathed a sigh of relief-including Mario Lopez, who nearly missed the whole thing.

“Everybody knew the 20-year anniversary was coming up,” says Lopez. “This PEOPLE story has been in the works for over a year, long before [late night host] Jimmy Fallon started talking about it. We were all excited about it.”

But Lopez’s work ethic almost prevented the reunion from coming to fruition. “I’m so busy. I was concerned about my schedule,” says Lopez, who in the past year alone has danced on Broadway in A Chorus Line, become the new host of TV’s Extra and written a fitness book, Mario Lopez’s Knockout Fitness. The night before the PEOPLE shoot in Los Angeles he was making a public appearance in Canada, across the country, and arrived on set straight from the airport after a seven-hour flight.

To be followed by another story that she went brunette…nothing really much about her career? Lindsay, why have you thrown your life away on Fornarina and leggings. You had such potential back in the Parent Trap…even Freaky Friday…you started to go south in Herbie but still…
