Revlon's latest offering into the BB cream category—Revlon PhotoReady BB Cream™ Skin Perfector—will have you confident that skin looks flawless and radiant, in any light. It hydrates like a moisturizer, smoothes skin like a primer, covers like a foundation, and blurs flaws like a concealer, all while protecting skin with Broad Spectrum SPF 30. In celebration of beauty's greatest modern marvel, we've put together a guide to some of the best places to have brunch and go shopping with the ladies in LA. Hit them two at a time, or all at once, but be sure to factor in some quality BB time wherever you are.

This cute French-Moroccan bistro boasts an extensive brunch menu, including pastries, egg dishes, sandwiches, salads, freshly baked organic breads, and a variety of house-made jams and preserves. Strong espresso, a semi-private dog-friendly patio and hot servers, make this one perfect for mornings with the gals.
After Little Next Door, venture down the block to New Stone Age. This go-to for gifts is stocked with unusual housewares, pretty jewelry, quirky books and much more.
For a classy lady brunch, head to this West Hollywood Italian restaurant for inspired dishes like the baked eggs "arrabiata," porchetta ham benedict, panettone French toast (sort of a weird contradiction), and a spinach & pancetta frittata to go along with a slew of fresh juices, tea, and coffee.
After a fancy lady brunch, head to Cerre for something edgy. Nobody in LA does leather like this—their new location showcases dark and vaguely post-apocalyptic inspired wares in an airy, bright setting.
Bar none, Roseark offers the biggest and best selection of unique, edgy, extravagant baubles this city has to offer, including pieces from Jessica Winzelberg, Jennifer Meyer, Karma El Khalil and own Kathy Rose. The SaMo location (at 1111 Montana Avenue, Santa Monica, CA 90403) is more user-friendly (easier to find and open without an appointment) than the WeHo showroom, which makes it a perfect spot to visit after a brunch at Laurel Hardware.
Despite the crowds, The H + The H is a must. The biscuits are likely to blame for its popularity—they're served with pimento cheese, honey butter and blackberries. We recommend arriving early and often.
Right next door to The H + The H, pay a visit to Creatures of Comfort, which offers many beautiful things, including Isabel Marant, Opening Ceremony, Repetto, LD Tuttle and more.
It didn't take long for Nick Mathers' (Eveleigh) boho-chic new eatery to blow up. Now open for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, Goldie's on West Third is the place to be for seasonal, inspired plates by chef Thomas Lim.
After an afternoon of indulgence, it's time to BB with Revlon PhotoReady BB Cream™ Skin Perfector. This Beauty Balm is skincare, makeup, and sunscreen, all rolled into one, affordable package (so you can easily camouflage those bottomless Bloodys). We suggest picking it up at Beverly Connection's City Target—with 99,000 square feet of store, you can make a day of it.
After Farm Shop, head a few doors down to Scoop for colorful denim, floaty tops, sexy shoes, pricey handbags and more. They've also got a similarly broad selection of on-trend items for men, so be sure to pick something up for the gentleman in your life.
