Drew Barrymore Loves Talika
“For some reason, since I turned 30 this little crew comes in the middle of the night and they sew little sausages under my eyes! I found some great new eye patches that are so awesome. They're by TALIKA. They just take away the puffiness. You put them on for 20 minutes and they're genius.
The Talika Eye Therapy patch is a reusable patch which the company claims "spectacularly reduces all trace of fatigue appearing under the eyes. It is a pleasant, effective, natural and comfortable solution for combating wrinkles, circles and under-eye puffiness." The patches come in a set of 6 pairs which are good for 18 treatments. Barrymore was recently named Cover Girl's newest model for her "fresh natural beauty" and "energetic yet authentic spirit." That kind of compliment lights up her face – and more. Being named PEOPLE's cover girl "made my peacock feathers shine in the golden-hour light and extend to the heavens," she says, giggling.
Many successful models have represented Cover Girl Cosmetics. Super stars in the vein of Brandy, Molly Sims, Faith Hill, Tyra Banks, Queen Latifah and most recently Rihanna and Drew Barrymore have modeled for Cover Girl.
It was announced on April 11, 2007 that Barrymore will become Cover Girl Cosmetic's newest model and spokeswoman.
In April 2007, Barrymore reached No. 1 in People's magazine annual 100 Most Beautiful People list, taking the title from Angelina Jolie.
In May 2007 Drew Barrymore was named Ambassador Against Hunger for the United Nations World Food Programme.
Barrymore was born Drew Blyth Barrymore in Culver City, California to John Drew Barrymore and Hungarian-born Ildiko Jaid Barrymore (née Makó), both former actors. Her parents divorced after Drew was born.
Barrymore was born into the acting profession, coming from a long line of acting talent stretching back nearly 200 years; her great-great grandparents John Drew, Louisa Lane Drew, her great-grandparents Maurice Barrymore, Georgiana Drew and Maurice Costello, and her grandparents John Barrymore and Dolores Costello were all highly successful actors; John Barrymore was arguably the most acclaimed actor of his generation. She is the great-niece of Lionel Barrymore, Ethel Barrymore, and Helene Costello, and the great grandniece of John Drew, Jr., actress Louisa Drew, and silent film actor/writer/director Sidney Drew. Her father John Drew Barrymore was an actor. She is also the goddaughter of critically acclaimed director, Steven Spielberg.
Her first name Drew was the maiden name of her paternal great-grandmother, Georgiana Drew; her middle name Blyth was the original surname of the dynasty founded by her great-grandfather, Maurice Barrymore.
Barrymore's career began at the age of eleven months, when she auditioned for a dog food commercial. When she was bitten by her canine co-star, the producers feared she'd cry, but she merely laughed, and was hired for the job. Her first movie role was in Altered States (1980), and just a year later, she landed the role of Gertie in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, which made her famous.
She received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress in 1984 for her role in Irreconcilable Differences. In the wake of this sudden stardom, she endured a notoriously troubled childhood, smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol by the time she was 9, smoking marijuana at 10, and snorting cocaine at 12. Barrymore later described this period of her life in her 1990 autobiography, Little Girl Lost. Her nightlife and constant partying became a popular subject with the media. Though she overcame her substance abuse problems by the time she entered adulthood, she maintained her "bad girl" image, and used her new-found role as a sex symbol to stage a career comeback playing a manipulative, evil teenage seductress in Poison Ivy (1992). The film found enormous success on VHS when it was first released.
She posed nude for the January, 1995 issue of Playboy. Director Steven Spielberg gave her a quilt for her 20th birthday with a note that read "Cover yourself up". Enclosed were copies of her Playboy pictures, with the pictures altered by his art department so that she appeared fully clothed. At that time she had also appeared nude in her last five movies. During a 1995 appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, Barrymore shocked the normally unflappable host by climbing onto his desk and baring her breasts to him, her back to the camera. The flash was intended to celebrate his birthday. She also modeled in a series of Guess? jeans ads during this time.
Drew Barrymore made a comeback in the successful 1996 horror film Scream.

An adorable child star who overcame an out-of-control adolescence and reclaimed her post as America's mischievous but pure-hearted sweetheart, Drew Barrymore rode a career roller coaster spanning two decades before the age of 25. After undergoing rehab and—another Barrymore tradition—publishing a memoir, "Little Girl Lost" (1989), the resilient teen made an impressive comeback in the early 90s, riding a wave of both celebrity and controversy.
