Sexy Side-Part Adds Classic Beauty For Spring 2013

Let's pick a side, ladies!

If you're looking for an easy classic beauty look for Spring 2013, then the sides have it. The fresh trend is all about the deep side part.

It's simple enough to create with a humble comb. Just find your better profile and part from there.

Curly heads, pin-straight hair, short + long can all look flattering with the side part. And the celebrities have been HOT on the trend for recent red carpet events. Look at Keri Russell. She looks lovely and not trying hard. Her stylist Brian Magallones created her do like this:

1. To create this look, I started by taking 2-inch sections of hair and curling them with a curling iron and pinning them up in pin curls.
2. As I was curling, I sprayed each section with Aveda Volumizing Tonic to add volume and hold.
3. I used a 1-inch curling iron around the face for a more defined wave and a large 1-3/4-inch iron for the rest of the head.
4. Once the pin curls had cooled and set, I removed each pin curl and flat ironed the ends. The straight ends are what give this look that modern edge.
5. Next, I created a deep side part for drama and brushed the hair to relax the curl and shape the wave around the face.
6. I finished it off by running some Aveda Brilliant Emollient Finishing Gloss through to add amazing shine, and held it in place all night long with Aveda Control Force hairspray.

Jessica Alba + Reese Witherspoon also both love wearing the deep side part.
 It adds instant cool glam!

Celebrities Love Wearing Spanx Even Off The Red Carpet

We love Khloe Kardashian's mini blue print Thakoon dress. So cute.

 And we are also 'heart-ing' her adorable milk-maid braids. LOVE that style and not every chick can pull it off.

The big fashion faux pas, well, there really isn't one. We suppose we could blame it all on the gusty wind!!
Khloe's pretty dress goes flyin' up in the breeze.

OOPS! We see Khloe's nude Spanx!! LOL!

Not exactly a Marilyn Monroe moment by any stretch, but still a great snapshot in the day-of-a-life of one of the much-photographed K sisters.

We think Khloe has handled herself beautifully and with a big, happy smile. There's nothing wrong with slippin' into a pair of Spanx to smoo-oooooooth things out, especially when the paps are right there behind you.

A pair of nude In-Power Line Super Power Panties ($32).

"Tame your tummy and reduce cling with this comfortable yet powerful, super sleek mid-thigh shaper."

Just about EVERY celebrity wears them. At least Khloe isn't walking around 'commando'.

Have you ever worn Spanx or any kind of body shapewear?

Will You Arm Yourself With The Stackable Bracelet Trend For Spring?

In our eyes, Nicole Richie has ALWAYS been the bracelet queen.

The petite fashion icon has been stacking armloads of bracelets YEARS before the trend began.

And for Spring 2013, stackable bracelets are HOT!

There is no set way to arm yourself with the trend. In other words, you can stack up any way you please. We suggest starting with a gorgeous, menswear-inspired watch like the one from Michael Kors. That would be your anchor piece and then stack away, ladies!
We happen to fancy the Michael Kors 'Large Runway' Gold Bracelet Watch, 46mm.

Okay, it isn't cheap at $275, but it's a fine watch and a smart investment.

Then you can add a few or a lot of cool bracelets and you're ready to go!

We LOVE arm candy We always have and just adore this Spring 2013 trend!

Will you stack up, ladies?

Rihanna + Lilit Continue To Wear This Old Been-There-Done-That Trend

Have you had enough of this over-done celebrity trend of the one-side shaved head hairstyle?!

Rihanna LOVES this bad-ass look and has rocked it before with very short black locks. And now she's showing it off yet again with pretty light highlights.

The do is actually called, The Skrillex after a male Grammy-nominated disc jockey who supposedly established the hair trend.

Even worse, Rihanna's Skrillex’ hairstyle has just been voted the worst hair trend of the 21st Century.

Oh, my!

That doesn't mean so much because the one-side shaved head is still going strong and a lot of people are copying it even in quiet suburbia.
Reggie Bush's girlfriend Lilit is also sporting The Skrillex do, as seen in the photo below.
We think this bad-ass trend is quite sexy, and if we were in our 20s, we would possibly try and rock this lop-sided tresses look.

You need some major confidence to pull off the one-side shaved head. And although the hair experts claim the trend is old + dead, we beg to differ.

The Skrillex looks to be alive + well!

Punch Of Pink: Pretty For Spring Beauty 2013

No matter how you slice it, ANY shade in the pink family is very flattering to the skin tone. And it just happens to be, that FUCHSIA is the HOT trend for Spring Beauty 2013.

Models were working the runway with the bold hue. There was minimal makeup but the magenta-me lips were ruling the catwalk. Not even a trace of blush. ......Just me and my lips, so to speak.

There is something hauntingly beautiful about this bare look with the major punch of  a pink pout.

Take a look at elf Jumbo Lip Gloss Stick in Flirty & irly. Gotta love the fuchsia shade and the cheap-o price!  Check it out here at eyeslipsface.com. For $2 bucks can't beat it!

Will you try out this HOT Spring Beauty trend?!

The denim cut-offs are key to the entire laid-back look. We don't know what brand Cindy is sporting but you can find them just about anywhere. We found a  cute pair at PapayaClothing.

Drew Barrymore Gives Mascara Beauty Tips One Lash At A Time

Gotta love Drew Barrymore. The proud new mama of baby Olive is beaming with joy these days.

She's also got a popular new makeup line she developed called Flower. It is sold at Walmart stores.

One of Drew's favorite Flower items is the Zoom In Ultimate Mascara ($7.98, here).

These pics show the adorable actress demonstrating to fans how to get the longest. fullest lashes ever!

"My recommendation [for the perfect spider lash look] is to take our Ultimate Mascara," she says.

Drew takes the adjustable brush and drags it across the top lashes, to 'thicken' and 'lengthen' them.

She combs the wand through to smooth out any clumps.

"Then what I like to do is take the mascara brush and clean the tip slightly, then I dot it along the bottom lash line and blend it in with my fingers to give a more lush and creamy liner look,"
she says.
"It gives your lashes a more fuller look than you'll ever achieve by dragging the wand alone on the lashes."

Check out Drew's Spider Lashes tutorial here at flowerbeauty.
Good job, Drew!
