Eva Longoria Poses Alongside Brian Bowen Smith at his DRIVEBYS Book Launch and Gallery Viewing Presented by Casa Del Sol Tequila
On Thursday, October 21, 2021, the book launch and VIP gallery preview of Brian Bowen Smith’s ‘DRIVEBYS’ was held in an exclusive space in Los Angeles, California. The celebration honoring Bowen Smith’s new book was presented by Casa Del Sol Tequila, treating guests to some delightful sips from a fresh line of luxury tequila. A portion of proceeds from the ‘DRIVEBYS’ event were donated to Feeding America, a charity to which Bowen Smith has a personal connection.
Bowen Smith’s ‘DRIVEBYS’ features a compilation of striking images captured while trekking more than 11,000 miles in his classic 1958 Ford F100 (named “Pearl”) across the United States, documenting the emptiness brought about due to the Covid-19 pandemic. An accidental project of sorts, Bowen Smith explained how ‘DRIVEBYS’ began as a few casual photos and “grew into a multi-faceted cross-country project of a lifetime.”
A renowned photographer for his celebrity portraits, Bowen Smith has snapped stunning photos for Eva Longoria, Gabrielle Union, Anne Hathaway, Will Smith, Tracee Ellis Ross, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Hart, and Samuel L. Jackson — to name a few.

As the daughter of Mexican-American parents, Longoria and the brand have put heritage at the forefront, expressing the importance of both legacy and authenticity when crafting the liquor.
“It is always my mission to uplift the voices of women and celebrate my Mexican heritage so that others may be inspired by the limitless genius and artistry that is rich in our communities.” — Eva Longoria

Fall is here full throttle, and there are so many exciting cool beauty trends that come with cooler weather. One beauty trend we’re obsessed with is keeping that dewy, glowing summer skin that can be a little challenging to keep once the temperature starts dropping. Check out our favorite makeup and skincare products from some fantastic clean beauty brands that will keep us glowing and gorgeous this fall.
Just because summer is over doesn’t mean you can’t have glowing skin. Serums are always crucial in a well-rounded skincare routine but the Glow Getter brightening serum is a must-have to keep a healthy glow throughout the fall into winter. The Glow Getter Brightening serum’s active ingredients are Vitamin C to promote radiant skin and Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) that exfoliate and promote smoother skin. The thing that makes this brightening serum stand out from any other serum is that the active ingredients come separately from the serum hydrating base of olive oil emollients and hyaluronic acid. Once you’re ready to use your ‘Glow Getter Brightening Serum,’ you mix the individual viles of Vitamin C and AHA in the base, give it a few vigorous shakes, and it’s fresh and active for up to four weeks. Unlike traditional serums that sit in distribution centers and on store shelves long before you buy them, the Fresh Chemistry Glow Getter Serum ensures that the active ingredients are fresh and for the ultimate brightening and smoothing effects.
2. MA:NYO Bifida Biome Ampoule $25
The MA: NYO Bifida Biome Ampoule is the perfect toner to add to your fall skincare routine and not just because pumpkin is one of the main active ingredients. The Bifida Complex Ampoule Toner is ideal for some light exfoliation and the probiotics from the fermented pumpkin strengthen the skin’s barrier and keep the skin balanced. Aside from arguably being one the best seasonal latte flavors, pumpkin also happens to offer some incredible benefits for our skin. Pumpkin is filled with vitamin A, C lycopene, antioxidants the promote a radiant and even skin tone.
3. MOB Beauty Cream Clay Blush: Soft Coral & Hot Pink Coral $25
Whether you’re a fan of the monochromatic makeup trend or just like a pop of color, these coral shade ‘MOB Beauty Cream Clay Blushes‘ are the perfect warm tone blushes for fall. These Cream Clay Blushes are perfect for giving the skin that dewy look and these coral tones are perfect for brightening up the skin as the last of our natural sun tans fade away. The Soft Coral is perfect for anyone with light to medium tone skin, while the Hot Pink Coral is perfect for anyone with medium to deep tones. The MOB Beauty Cream Clay Blushes are perfect for adding a little color to the cheeks or going full glam this fall.
4. Emilie Heathe Lip Atelier: The New Vamp $38
While all of the Emilie Heathe Lip Atelier lipsticks are perfect for any occasion, The New Vamp is the perfect berry shade to add a pop of color to any look. The Lip Ateliers‘ sheer yet buildable formula makes The New Vamp a flattering shade for every skin tone. Because the Lip Atelier formula is super hydrating, it’s perfect for those colder days, so you never have to worry about your lipstick crumbling on chapped lips.
5. Good Janes Silk Lashes: Angel Wings $14
Lashes are the easiest way to jazz up any fall look, especially since you probably won’t have to worry about them popping off at a pool party. Good Janes offers a variety of silk lashes in a bunch of different styles. Our favorite Good Janes lashes are the Angel Wings. The wispy look is flattering to any eye shape, and the blend of golden-brown and black lashes brings out the color in any eye. With proper care, the Good Janes silk lashes can be worn up to three times!
