How To Get Kim Kardashian's Big Doe Eyes With 2 Cheap Drugstore Brands

It must be really nice to have a SUPER pro makeup artist in Mario Dedivanovic.


We also know he and the famous reality TV star have access to some of the best + most expensive makeup around.

That's why there's been tons of buzz about the cheap beauty tips Mario revealed recently and the 2 products he sometimes reaches for to give KK those SEXY big, doe eyes.

Mario says this formula gives you “2 X the intensity” and helps give KK her lush lashes look!

NYC 99 Cent Lipstick: Would You Wear It? We do!

99 cent lipstick.....

Yeah, right.....But does ANYONE really wear it?

We often do. And we are in LOVE with NYC's Ultra Lip Wear in BLOSSOM.



In fact, we were grocery shopping late this afternoon, when a woman of Indian descent approached us and introduced herself.

She had long, glossy black hair, dark olive skin and big brown eyes and was wearing zero makeup.

"Excuse me. Your shade of lipstick is beautiful. What color is it?"

I whipped the tube out of my bag and handed it to her. She memorized it. Thanked me. And walked away.

NYC
NEW YORK COLOR 316 BLOSSOM at CVS

That made my day.  Okay, not a big deal, but it's so nice when women compliment each other.

Here is a photo of me wearing it last year. You can get a small idea how it looks. I would describe Blossom as a pink-y fuchsia with blue undertones. I am a lousy photographer, as we can all see.




NYC also features other nice 99 cent shades. For that rock bottom price, you can toss it out, if you really hate it.

Sometimes, cheap makeup works. And it's really alright to buy some.

Celebs Like Halle, Khloe and Kourtney Continue Ripped Jeans Trend

Out in L.A., the sexy, ripped jeans trend remains on FIRE. And it appears to be the same way in NYC.

We are certain you own at least one or two pairs of this "imperfect denim look."

You can dress UP or dress DOWN a pair of ripped jeans. You can also style this trend in tight, skinny jeans or boyfriend, loose-fitting jeans.

Here's Halle Berry doing a little Christmas shopping in her relaxed fit ripped jeans with booties + over-sized sweater.



Then we have two of the super glam Kardashian sisters both in ripped jeans, with Khloe in skinnies and Kourtney in boyfriend ripped denim.



If you want to COPY their ripped jeans trend, you can find this just about everywhere.

Here's a nice pair of  DENIM X CAFE TOMGIRL JEAN from AEO, on SALE for $39.99.

Lupita Nyong'o Stuns At Star Wars Premiere In Sexy Blue Lipstick!

Although it's NOT exactly mainstream yet, bold, blue lipstick has been slowly finding its way on to the red carpet.

Take a look at Star Wars star Lupita Nyong'o wowing in sexy blue lipstick. Now, you're either going to LOVE this makeup trend or despite it altogether, but Lupita looks GORG!

Lupita stunned at the Star Wars: The Force Awakens at London's Leicester Square last evening.





We think blue lipstick is VERY wearable UNDER age 35. Then, after that, well, we're NOT so sure.

Rihanna + Kylie Jenner have both sported blue lipstick in 2015, also.



If you, too, dare to go to a BEAUTY galaxy, far, far away, then try this one from Nyx Cosmetics Wicked Lippie in Sinful. We found it at ULTA, $5.99!

Okay, ladies.....who's in the BLUE?

Copy Sexy Sofia Vergara's Square Neck Black Dress For Lots Less!

Okay.....Are these 2 people the HOTTEST couple on the planet, perhaps?!

OMG....Joe Manganiello makes the BEST arm candy for a gal, and LUCKY Sofia looks even sexier in his arms.....um.....brawny arms.


But we're NOT here to discuss new groom Joe.

We're mesmerized by this little black dress Sofia squeezed into at last evening's Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens premiere in Los Angeles.



This one is from Victoria Beckham's designs, a crepe dress at $2,500.

Most of us LOVE the dress, so a COPY CAT square neck LBD would be even better, especially if it's ONLY $13.95!!


This one is from Yoins.

Sofia's dress does NOT look exactly like the DUPE we found, but it STILL plays off on the same design concept.

For LESS than $14, you can't go wrong.

Copy Demi Lovato's Cool, Slicked Back Locks And Join The Trend

Slicked back locks are classic + sophisticated, and yeah....your face is on display with hair pulled away. It takes some self-confidence to do this do right.

Who better than Demi Lovato herself to show off the latest hair trend.

Here's the dazzling star at the recent Billboard Luncheon event with her  sexy, slicked back hairstyle.


Very pretty with a tousled wave.Love it!

Khloe Kardashian has been wearing the slicked back look on her blonde hair for quite some time now. She, too, looks super polished + chic.


To achieve the slicked back look, you will need a key, smoothing product like Khloe + sisters' Black Seed Dry Oil by Kardashian Beauty ($16.49, at ULTA.com).



This stuff rocks! It leaves a GLAM finish on hair with shine, strength + sleekness. And it's NOT greasy to locks.

Gigi Hadid Wows At VS Show In Pink Nation: Copy Her Look

Newest VS runway angel Gigi Hadid was slayin' it at last evening's annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in New York City.

In one of her several sexy lingerie changes, Gigi also put on a sportier look with firefighter bottoms, super toned abs and a super cute, reverse racerback cropped bra top for the brand's Pink Nation.

Check her out:


We LOVE Gigi's body, because it's slim, healthy + curvy. She probably displays one of the heavier VS figures, but we think she looks the best out of the coral of famous fit angels.

To COPY the cropped bra top, we found one similar from VS online for ($28.95). It's available in XS, S, M +L.


Will you wear Pink Nation's new reverse racerback cropped top like Gigi Hadid??

We LOVE the entire look from head-to-toe, and we especially adore her chic, leopard pointy toe flats.

These come from Ivanka's cool shoe line. They retail for $100. Check them out here.

BUT-----you CAN copy the look for LESS. We found a look alike leopard print flat for $40 at Express.

Olay Says: Peel Your Way As You Sleep To More Beautiful skin

When it comes to clear, smooth skin, we are a strong believer in chemical peels, especially the do-it-all exfoliator, glycolic acid.

Yes, you can BURN your complexion if you are NOT careful, but if you proceed S-L-O-W-L-Y, you can see dramatic results.

That's why we are intrigued by Olay's new Pro-X Nightly Purifying Micro Peel with glycolic properties.



It's NOT cheap at $40 a bottle, but it seems to do AMAZING things for your skin.

And you DON'T have to wait to rinse it off and neutralize it, either. This modern mini peel can be applied quickly.

You leave the peel on, and it works while you SLEEP.



How cool is that?!

In time, this micro peel can improve the texture + clarity of your skin, but also the size of your pores and the minimization of fine lines + wrinkles.

Plus, your face and neck, do NOT become red + irritated which is common with chemical peels.

We found a bottle at Target
.
  • Simply rub the Micro-Peel on your cleansed skin before bed, even follow with your Olay night cream or moisturizer, and cleanse your face in the morning. Be sure to use a broad spectrum sunscreen SPF of 15 or higher in the A.M.
This sounds beauty worthy!

Flat, Full Straight Brows Are Deemed Perfect: Then Laura Prepon Must Be An Exception?

We found this beauty tidbit from the British Independent.co.uk.

"A new study by plastic surgeons seeking the perfect female brow found that women's eyebrows are becoming lower, flatter and less arched. Researchers say the ideal eyebrow has moved closer to the eye over the past 60 years. One theory is that women are subconsciously opting for a more masculine-looking brow."

Okay, if that is true, then Orange is the New Black star Laura Prepon must be seriously out of trend, because her brows are thin + highly arched.

We think Laura Prepon is one beauty who breaks the rules, because in her case, she looks STUNNING withOUT the low, straight across, flat brows that are so in style these days.


What do you think?

The high arched brow goes well with her pretty, bone structure.

The point is, if your brows don't naturally hang low, full + straight across, then don't force the look.

Meantime, here is a popular, wax brow pencil that goes well with most brow colors:


It's got grip, fills in hairs naturally and is CHEAP.

Ladies....Do you prefer the low, straight across full brow or the thinner, highly arched brow?

Maybelline's New Lasting Drama Gel Pencil For Cool White Cat Eye!

Makeup artists LOVE to add white cat eye makeup during spring + summer, but we think it's kind of glam to do it now, heading into winter--- just barely 3 weeks away.

We think model Jourdan Dunn looks GORG in white eyeliner, wearing the new makeup by Maybelline's Lasting Drama Waterproof Gel Pencil ($7.99, at ULTA).


That's a SEXY cat eye......Purr-fect!



If you're kind of shy, then just LINE the lower waterline:  Press the pencil gently against the lower lashes, working across with short, gentle strokes until you get the intensity you want.

Gel pencils are long-lasting in the waterlines.

Actress Marilyn Monroe was a GENIUS at showing off white eyeliner.



When NOT overdone, white eyeliner allows eyes to LOOK fresh + larger.

Wow....Talk about a HOT hair trend. If you tuned into the 2015 American Music Awards last evening hosted by the very talented Jennifer Lopez, then you saw this super cute hair do ALL over the place.

We're talking about the TOP KNOT. So-ooooo ladylike + sophisticated.

This feminine, polished up-do has been wild at the runways and worn by celebs at every age. Here are Lily Rose Depp + Julianne Moore looking neat + tidy in top knots.



Try adding some dry shampoo spray to locks BEFORE creating your cute top knot. It will give a bit of extra grip + volume to hair, so tresses aren't slippery when gathering into the bun

We like this one, only $4.79 at Target .
