Love It Or Hated It: JLo's Bright Bold L'Oreal Lipstick


Everyone's been talking about the bright bold lipstick that American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez painted on recently. In fact, we had two women send us a personal email, begging us for the shade.

And although, Jlo's lips looked red, the color was actually a strong fuschia. And now that the Latina star is a new L'Oreal spokesperson, she is wearing the latest makeup and hair products by the giant company.

Now, you either loved it or hated it. We're not sure.....we're on the fence about this bright, bold shade. By the way, it's called--L'Oreal Infallible Rouge Lipstick in Fuschia, no. 138 ($8, at drugstores).

These new lip shades from the L'Oreal Infallible Rouge line are strong and sassy, just like JLo herself. Not for the faint of heart. And this formula is supposed to last up to 10 hours, or at least through 2 hours of judging on American Idol.

Jennifer wore this Fuschia lipstick in contrast with that sexy, emerald green Lanvin dress and soft Veronica Lake-like hair.

Would you wear this bright, bold lipstick, a la Lopez?

Cute Kmart Clothing?! Take 'Route 66' And See



Kmart for cute clothing?

We kid you not. Sometimes, a popular department store can carry a couple of knock-out, trendy pieces you can add to your more expensive wardrobe.

Look at model/actress and Sports Illustrated beauty Brooklyn Decker. She just told one fashion mag that she often shops in cheaper stores like Target, where she can score a great item for much less. Brooklyn was talking about a classic trench coat she found at Target and it was a super buy.

Now, let's examine this really cute top from Kmart's Route 66 line. Only $19.99 in stores.

Lace is so in this season. And this romantic, delicate top by Route 66 features a scoop neck, elbow length, bat wing sleeves with a sexy cinched waist and crochet along the border. The material is made of a polyester blend, and it's machine washable. Color is white and of a semi-sheer fabric and comes in sizes S, M, L, and XL.

The top looks good to us. But then again....maybe it only looks great because the model is seductively holding her arms up in the photo to show the big bat wing sleeves. The lesson here....always try on before buying.
