Selena Gomez' Favorite Sheer Chanel Lipstick Shade



Selena Gomez is a teen superstar. At age 19, she knows a thing or two about looking great, and not just for the red carpet.

Selena has a crew of makeup, hair and fashion stylists always ready to glam her up for public appearances, but the young celebrity has also strong opinions about what cosmetics make her most beautiful.

She tells the May issue of Teen Vogue that her go-to lipstick is none other than Chanel Rouge Coco Shine ($32.50, at Chanel.com. Selena's fave shade is Rebelle, a nice, coral color.

Don't let the super bright Rebelle hue fool you. It glides on sheerly and looks pretty against most skin tones.

Selena Gomez has quite a sophisticated makeup eye at just 19. That does not mean she doesn't also wear cheaper cosmetics. It would appear that being in Hollywood for a number of years now, has made the teen mogul a polished star with good taste.

Goody Heat Wave Creator For Easy Breezy Beach Hair



Talk about a hot rod!

If you're looking to create that Gisele Bundchen easy breezy beach hair, then you've got to arm yourself with this little styling gadget by Goody---the Heat Wave Creator ($29.99, at Target).

It's a curling rod with a most unique twist featuring a barrel with a wavy shape. You can achieve that sexy bed-head look in just a few minutes, without having to fight with your hair like you do, forcing strands to wrap around standard curling irons or spinning irons.

The Goody Heat Wave Creator makes it simple. Just take some strands and wrap them around the 'bumpy' barrel and clamp them in. The wavy-shaped rod ensures that some pieces will be more tightly wound and others more loosely held. Together, you create that trendy Mermaid beach hair tons of celebrities show off. Plus, this hairstyling tool has a 30-second heat-up and 10 heat settings to play around with.

The Target customer reviews gave the Goody hair gadget some very high marks---4.5 stars out of 5! And women say the Heat Wave Creator gives long-lasting waves. The only problem is getting used to the clamp and the method of wrapping the hair. Other than working out those little kinks, this is a MUST buy.

Cosmetically Over-Filled Faces CAN Be Undone: Not That Anything's Been Done


Ashley Judd was snapped walking to the 'Extra' set in Hollywood yesterday, to defend her so-called 'puffy face.'

The 43-year-old actress has been written about by a bunch of tabloids recently, all claiming she received "botched plastic surgery" or "a cosmetically, over-filled face."

In no way are we alleging that the pretty celebrity has had anything done by posting her photo here, alongside our article dealing with reversible fillers. We are taking a further look at injectable volumizers, because the topic has arisen with the dramatic appearance of Ashley Judd.

The popular TV star has been fuming and wanting to set the record straight, that the fuller face folks have been gossipping about, has nothing to so with injectables or surgery, but the result of steroids for a sinus infection.

In addition, Ashley Judd also wrote an article for the Daily Beast that discusses the cruel practice of only judging women for how they look:

"I choose to address it because the conversation was pointedly nasty, gendered, and misogynistic and embodies what all girls and women in our culture, to a greater or lesser degree, endure every day, in ways both outrageous and subtle.

"The assault on our body image, the hypersexualization of girls and women and subsequent degradation of our sexuality as we walk through the decades, and the general incessant objectification is what this conversation allegedly about my face is really about."


Right on, Ashley Judd! Meantime, let's look at fillers that can be undone when the results are not what you expected.

Restylane, Perlane, Hylaform, Juvederm, and Juvederm XC are all known as injectable volumizers. And all of them are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in your skin.

The good news, the fillers we mention here, can all be reversed if you dislike the way your face has turned out. Maybe the cheeks were too chipmunk-like, etc. A doctor can undo the filler by injecting an antidote.

Many celebrities have turned to injectable fillers for restored natural volume to the face. The treatments do NOT require surgery and results are instant.

But not every plastic surgeon or dermatologist fills the face the same way. And the key here, is to make the work look invisible. Unfortunately, that is not always the case.

Women aren't allowed to grow older in Hollywood, and that brings such pressure to most female celebrities like Ashley Judd. We think she makes some excellent points about the topic.

Steal Fab Fergie's Trendy Nautical Look At Much Cheaper Price!



Fergie hits the right fashion notes at red carpet events. And the Black Eyed Peas singer also knows what to wear when the mood is more casual and she's just hanging out.

We caught a pic of the sexy celeb as she made her way through LAX Aiport recently. Check out fab Fergie's nice nautical look. Gotta love the Weekend Max Mara Oscuri Jacket ($325, (212)391-3344)! And she paired it with sleek-fitting red skinny jeans by Nobody.

The nautical trend is BIG this Spring/Summer, and it's a polished, classic look. Horizontal stripes are right on target. And you, too, can STEAL fab Fergie's trendy nautical look at a much cheaper price.

We found a super cute soft jersey material blazer by WetSeal on SALE for just $20.99! Sizes in stock online include---Med. Large. X-Large in JUNIORS. This nautical number features a striped knit body. Notch collar with single button closure. Long sleeves and front pockets.

Not exactly like Fergie's Max Mara, but close enough, and a great fashion statement for the price. You will get a lot of wear out of this pretty striped blazer.

Fear Wearing Very Bright Clothing? Take Baby Steps With Neon Jewelry

That hot pink dress just a bit too LOUD to wear in public?!

Or that acid-colored lime top too attention-getting even for you?

As we've all heard and seen by now, neon colors are a BIG trend for Spring 2012.

You DON'T always have to follow what's in, especially if you wouldn't feel comfortable wearing it. But maybe just a tiny bit of a trend can do wonders for your wardrobe. So, let's take a look at a piece of neon jewelry.

We love the Sunburst Glass and Metal Necklace by Ann Taylor ($78, at Ann Taylor stores). Now, we could ALL look divine in little neon accents here and there. You can get your glow on without searing someone's eyes.

A little brightness never hurt anyone. And an acid-yellow necklace is edgy enough to look good at the office as well as a night on the town, followed by a relaxing time on the weekend.

How about you? Are you in for a fashion splash of neon?

Anne Hathaway's New Super Short Haircut: Miserable Or Not?


Actress Anne Hathaway.

We're all used to seeing her with beautiful, long dark hair. But something major has just gone on in the beauty department for the popular 29-year-old actress.

Just take a look at the latest photo snapped of the actress leaving the Box nightclub in London in the wee hours this morning. Oh yeah, barely an inch of hair on her lovely head. We wonder ifTed Gibson her celebrity stylist gave her the new do.

OMG!!!

Anne Hathaway has chopped off her locks for the role of Fantine in Les Miserables, the musical movie. And if you recall, the character is a struggling factory worker who is forced into prostitution to provide for her illegitimate child and ends up selling her hair for money.

Now, Anne Hathaway could have hidden her long, thick mane and worn a wig for the part, but this actress is obviously serious about her craft and said to also be dieting on a 500-calorie plan to get as authentic for the role of Fantine as she can.

So, would you chop off about 95% of your precious hair for a big movie role, knowing that you could easily avoid the drastic cut by stuffing it under a wig?

In our honest opinion, we would NOT take the haircut.

We admire Anne Hathaway for her confidence, her courage, and her honesty as an actress to go the extra distance. Can't wait for Les Miserables the movie with her, Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman.

Get With Kate: Skip Foundation And Still Look Great!


Kate Winslet.

We really like this Academy Award-winning actress, not only for her amazing performances but also for her unassuming attitude and her not-try-so-hard beauty.

Kate Winslet is quite stunning, and proves that you don't have to be skeletal to get attention.

Here is a photo of the British beauty at the recent movie premier of Titanic 3D held at the Royal Albert Hall. The Lancome cosmetics ambassador stands out in an elegant black gown. She is wearing a bobby-pinned updo and understated makeup with the exception of soft red lips.

And interesting to note, we just read that Kate Winslet is not a foundation kind of gal. This is what she told InStyle magazine in the April issue:

"Since I don't wear heavy makeup...I opt for tinted moisturizer instead. It's not as dark as foundation, and it gives my skin a lovely sheen.

Kate must have really nice skin because it isn't easy getting away with merely tinted moisturizer as base coverage. But we have found a number of women DO prefer what Kate does, and SKIP the foundation.

Kate likes putting on her fave Lancome Renergie Eclat Multi-Lift Cream ($75/1.4 oz., at Lancome-Usa.com). The Multi-Lift tinted moisturizer comes in 4 universal shades and delivers instant illumination to the complexion and tightening and smoothing skin.

We're not sure everyone could afford a $75 tinted moisturizer, but you can still get with Kate and put on a less expensive cream and still look great.

First Lady Michelle Right About Push-Ups: Fab For Toning Arms



We thought of First Lady Michelle Obama yesterday, as we struggled to complete a set of 10 push-ups. Remember when Mrs. O challenged Ellen on her TV talk show last February? And the First Lady won by completing 25?!

Not bad for a 48-year-old woman.

Last year, we could do 20 push-ups. Then we got lax, and took a break. We continue to lift small weights to keep our arms toned. We've been doing that for years now, but push-ups are really an excellent all-around toning movement that don't require any equipment or much time, just the desire for a strong, fit body. Plus, you can do a push-up just about anywhere.

Let's face it----Summer isn't too far behind, and that means warm weather and the shedding of sweaters and jackets. If you want your arms on display, now is the time to get MOVING.

And Michelle Obama has it right----her 'Let's Move' Fitness Program for school-aged children speaks volumes. But when you think about the theme, there really is NO age limit. We should all be moving.

If you want to bet that beautifully-toned arms like the First Lady's are just about lucky DNA, you're wrong. You have to work at it continuously.

So, let's further examine the push-up and its benefits and features. We did some research and found an old but very educational article in the Los Angeles Times by Jay Blahnik, a Laguna Beach-based personal trainer and IDEA Health & Fitness Assn. spokesman:

"The primary muscles used during a push-up are the chest, front shoulder and triceps muscles. However, because the push-up requires you to hold your body in a stable, horizontal position against gravity, you also engage your neck, core, hips and legs with each repetition.

Although the push-up is a simple exercise, many people do it incorrectly. Consider these push-up tips to minimize the risk of injury and maximize the benefits:

* When pushing away from the floor, focus on using your arms and keeping your body in a straight line throughout the movement. Avoid lifting your butt higher than your hips or hunching your neck and shoulders. Go slowly and exhale on the upward phase of the exercise.

* Don't allow your chest to actually touch the floor when you come down. Instead, stop the downward portion of the movement when your chest is 2 to 3 inches away from the floor. This will protect your shoulders and still provide plenty of range of motion to make the exercise effective. Try placing a book, rolled-up towel or tennis shoe under your chest to remind you when to stop lowering your body during the exercise.

* If you are unable to complete a full push-up, execute the exercise from your knees and/or place your hands on the edge of a sofa or bench (instead of the floor). These positions will make it less challenging, and allow you to build your strength over time. Then progress to a traditional push-up when you are able to complete 8 to 12 repetitions of this easier version of the exercise."

Beauty Budget Buy: Metallic Thong Sandals $20 Old Navy



Spring has certainly sprung. And if you're ready to slip on your favorite old flip-flops or thong sandals, you might want to buy a new pair, because these types of warm weather footwear wear out very quickly.

We believe you should display the prettiest feet around town, and that's why we are looking at Old Navy for our Beauty Budget Buy of the Day. Get this----a pair of Metallic T-Strap Thong Sandals for just $20!

Metallic is so chic and trendyfor Spring/Summer 2012. And merely adding a pretty pop of gold to your wardrobe makes a fab fashion statement.

We love these thongs---super cute and comfy with an elegant T-strap design. And if you buy them online, you get 30% off at checkout!

And now for the Debbie Downer footnote, so to speak:

You've heard the arguments before, that flip-flops or thong-style flat sandals, are NOT the best summer footwear. The American Podiatric Medical Association, along with plenty of studies out there, caution that flip-flop wearing time should be limited.

When you're walking in a pair, your gait changes in a way that affects your feet, ankles, and legs. And believe it or not, these go-to-casual sandals can cause substantial pain.

If you cannot give up wearing flip-flops or thongs, at least slip into a pair that have good arch support and cushioning. As the experts say......"If your flip-flops can fold in half, then they are NOT sturdy enough."

Hey---we still own several pairs of flip-flops and flat thong sandals and we LOVE them. We don't walk around in them day in and day out. So, we will buy the metallic thong sandals from Old Navy, and that's that.

Some things in life are TOO adorable to pass up.

Famous Celebrity Blondes Going For Bangs In Spring 2012




We discussed the big bangs trend just a few weeks ago. But lately, there's been a change we've noticed:

More and more celebrity blondes are going in for the cut. It looks like the blonde bangs brigade is here. Just take a look at the latest flaxen-haired trio who have opted for some pretty fringe:

Christie Brinkley. Jennifer Lawrence. And Taylor Swift.

Then there is Reese Witherspoon. Rihanna. Anna Faris. Hilary Duff.....And the blondes with bangs who's who goes on.

Gotta love the fringe. You can hide forehead wrinkles and high foreheads with bangs. Your eyes instantly look BIGGER with bangs. And if you suffer from thin, scraggly eyebrows, bangs can cover them, and your problem disappears.

So then, the question begs: Are you in some fringe for Spring?

Remember---there are all kinds of bangs. You can get longer, softer, curved bangs like Jennifer Lawrence of the 'Hunger Games'. Not severe or too heavy. You can side-part or middle-part the fringe when you want a change. Plus long bangs don't take forever to grow out.

Bumble & Bumble Puts Curly Hair Gals On The Straight And Narrow


We have long, straight hair, and even we are amazed at this new Bumble and bumble smoothing technology.

If we believe all the press, then this is BIG news for those of you who want to style curly hair straight or maybe give up the controversial Brazilian blow-out.

Bumble and bumble are raving about their at-home Concen-Straight Smoothing Treatment ($45, at beauty shops like Sephora).

The genius thing about Concen-Straight is its power to provide manageability and frizz reduction for up to 30 shampoos.

30 shampoos?! No kink. No curl?!

That's incredible.

Bb tells you how to use it:
-Shampoo hair.
-DO NOT CONDITION with anything. Towel dry.
-Arrange hair into small sections, starting at the nape and working forward.
-Shake Concen-straight Smoothing Treatment bottle well.
-Apply Concen-straight Smoothing Treatment liberally, on damp hair, roots to ends, ensuring hair is evenly coated.
-Let sit for 30 minutes, uncovered, and comb hair every 5 minutes into desired straight style.
-Rinse thoroughly with warm water only for about 10 minutes. (Hair should feel residue-free.)
-Blow-dry hair completely dry using your hands, a brush or both.
-Flat-iron as you normally would, sectioning as you go and sliding iron from roots to ends. (You're setting your hair's shape with heat, so don't miss a spot.)

If you want to rock the shiny, sleek, straight locks like model Heidi Klum was showing us fresh from her split from husband Seal back in January, try Bb's Concen-Straight. It's formaldehyde-free and very kind to your mane.


We think this is super hairstyling technology and definitely one of THE products to try in 2012.

Before You Turn The Lights Out---Please Remove All Makeup


We've nagged and nagged everyone here about removing makeup, and all traces of it, before going to sleep. And sure, there are some of you who don't take us seriously about adopting this key nighttime routine. But really, you should.

If you want a skin care product to do its beauty magic at night, then you MUST do it with a clean face. That means---NO stale liner hovering below your eyes or remnants of blush still sitting on your cheeks from 7:00 this morning.

Take it off. Take it ALL off!

Most times, we take Pampers Baby Wipes and get rid of the greasy cosmetics with a couple of sheets. That's an old trick we learned from a couple of professional makeup artists. It's quick, non-irritating, and as we like to say, "If it's good enough for a baby's cute little butt, well it's good for us, too."

We also like to mop up any left over makeup with a couple of cotton ball swipes of rubbing alcohol. It sounds harsh, but our dermatologist uses this method all the time before he begins a skin care procedure on our complexion.

Then---we begin our cleansing routine.

If you would like something a bit more gentle, trust us, there are tons of makeup removers---high-end, low-end, famous brand, generic, so many, that there is no excuse not to get in the good habit now.

Today, we are looking at NARS Makeup Removing Water ($28, at beauty stores like Sephora). Okay, not cheap at this price, but still an excellent product from a fab cosmetics company.

NARS Makeup Removing Water is quite unique in that it is a soap-free, oil-free, and alcohol-free water that removes face makeup and tones the skin:

"This formula gently yet thoroughly sweeps makeup away without rubbing while soothing botanical ingredients, including cucumber and chamomile, hydrate, comfort, and add radiance. The result: purified and toned skin."

We don't care HOW you get the makeup off, just PLEASE remove it BEFORE you hit the sheets. Good skin isn't a given for most of us. You have to put in a little effort to make major beauty progress.

You can look at it this way: The cleaner the face, the easier it is for skin care products to penetrate and do their work.

Celebrate The Southwest Spirit With A Beautiful Beaded Belt


Some might think that seed beads are too simple, or too arts and crafts-like to be considered serious fashion. But oh, how wrong they are!

Look at the beautiful detail and striking colors we found in a beautiful beaded belt from Boston Proper. And this is another hot Spring trend for 2012!

It's all about capturing the spirit of the Southwest and Native American charm. Beaded accessories are everywhere these days, and the best item to add to your Spring wardrobe is the sexy, beaded belt. It can transform your entire outfit.

Boston Proper is featuring colorful beaded medallion cuff bracelets and totes, along with beaded Native stretch belts with big interlocking-buckles ($79, in Tan, Spice, Coral, and Black). The beaded belts are nice and wide at 2 5/8".

We also found another cool beaded belt. This one by Cocobelle Designs. It boasts lovely antique glass beads on elastic--Aztec Turquoise ($28).

We love this look and can't wait to jump on the beaded accessories bandwagon!

Dare To Tangerine Tango: It Color For Spring/Summer 2012


Let's be frank....Any shade of orange or red screams, "Look at me!"

And if you're a bit shy, well, you're going to have to get over it, because Tangerine Tango is the new 'IT' color for Spring/Summer 2012. The shade is described as radiant red-orange, and it has burst onto the scene in the worlds of beauty, fashion, and home design.

Says who?

The well-respected Pantone Color Institute.

"Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it," says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. "Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy."

The color of Tangerine Tango has been seen everywhere....on the runways, on the models, on handbags, shoes, tops, dresses, and as bold shades for lipstick, cheeks, and nails, etc.

Will you dare to Tangerine Tango?

Maybe you could try just one accessory in the fiery red-orange color, or in a pair of earrings, or just go for it, and settle on a Tangerine Tango-colored dress. You WILL get noticed.

We found a couple of beauty products featuring the 'It' shade for the year. Check these out next time you're shopping:

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Kook-a-Mango ($6, at drugstores).
Revlon Color Burst Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti ($7, at drugstores).

Maybelline Showing Us Love With New Lots Of Lashes Mascara


We've said this before:

We are a mascara freak.

If there's one beauty product that does such incredible things to your eyes, it's the mascara. Period.

Please don't tell us that you DON'T wear mascara, because we will cry. You NEED mascara as part of your daily makeup routine.

Having said all that, it's time to talk lashes. Our favorite is always Blackest Black with any brand we try.

And today, we are re-visiting an old, loyal 'friend'----Great Lash by Maybelline. But this newer Great Lash is called, Lots Of Lashes ($5.19, at ULTA---
Buy 1, get 1 at 50% off!) And the beauty is in the heart-shaped pink grabber brush. This brush has so many little teeth to help reach every lash you've got, to help plump up the volume.

The Great Lash by Maybelline formula is still the same super product, just with a more intricate wand/brush. We've tried Lots Of Lashes and like it.

Bronzer Made Easy With Tarte's Blush & Glow


Who doesn't want to apppear sun-kissed without the added sun damage that goes along with tanning.

If you want a little resort chic, you can get it now, and you don't have to head to a sandy beach paradise. You CAN fake it, and still show off a warm, healthy glow.

Our beauty weapon of the day?

Tarte Maracuja Blush & Glow Brightening Luminizer and Cheek Tint in Sunlight ($32, at Sephora). That sure is a long title for a pretty peach bronzer substitute. But you are getting a 2-in-1 beauty product---a blush tint and the higlighter or luminizer.

Just a few dabs on your cheeks, forehead, browbone, even on your lips for a soft, shimmery peach gleam that looks like you've spent some time on an exotic beach.

We like the Tarte tint/luminizer because it also contains maracuja oil from the rare Brazilian fruit. The oil is very nourishing with Vitamin C and essential fatty acids.

If you want to bathe your complexion in a shimmering, bronzy glow, this is the way to go. No tanning booth required.

Celebs Are Getting A Jump On The Jumpsuit Trend: Are You In?


*****Sorry we hadn't posted articles for the past few days. We suffered major computer snafus. But, so far, so good today!

The jumpsuit.

Oh, yeah...The trend is back, ladies! And you either love jumpsuits or despise them.

Apparently, Hollywood adores them, because we've seen a parade of style-savvy celebrities showing up in sexy onesies lately.

Here's the deal:
The jumpsuit is flattering on every gal's figure. As long as you get into the right style and cut of the jumpsuit, then you will look amazing.

We can prove this fact. Look at the celebrity jumpsuit photos. From curvy Kim Kardashian to very petite Kristen Chenoweth to tall Gwyneth Paltrow to super slim Rose Byrne, there really IS a jumpsuit for every woman.

Jumpsuits can hide a few imperfections like a bigger belly or heavier hips/thighs. And the jumpsuit allows everyone to look tall and lean with LONG legs. And who doesn't wish for that?!

We found a sexy jumpsuit at Forever21 that won't break your budget. This one isn't for the faint-of-heart, but it is following the black and sheer trend of the moment. And inexpensive at $24.80.

So, girls, are you ready to take the leap into the jumpsuit trend?

It's a sleek and slimming look. The only bad thing-----when you gotta go, well, you gotta practically remove the entire onesie just to do your business, if you get what we mean.

Each compact comes with a rose bouquet-embossed powder, ready to serve as a blush, bronzer, and/or highlighter. The colors give back a soft healthy glow, and are suitable for all skin types and skin tones. The face powder compact is so adorable, you might have second thoughts before swiping your blush brush across the lovely rose embossed powder.

If you can't find the Milani Illuminating Face Powder at your neighborhood drugstore, you can always shop at Milani.com.

Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott Can't Perform Without These Two Beauty Products





Hillary Scott, the lovely Lady Antebellum singer, busy with the Own the Night tour, loves doing her OWN makeup.

We find that refreshing and happy to hear. It seems like EVERY female star out there shows up pampered with a huge makeup/hair entourage. But not with this country singing beauty. And she always looks polished and modern.

Before EVERY show, she does her OWN makeup:

"It helps calm my jitters," Hillary told InStyle magazine recently.

And Hillary Scott's 2 favorite go-to beauty products include:

1. Amazing Cosmetics Powder Set ($27, at AmazingCosmetics).
"It makes everything waterproof, so I don't have to worry about my makeup sweating off."


2. Stila Long Wear Lip Color in Darling ($20, at ULTA).
"It's easier to pull off a berry lip color than a classic red. This stain has a chubby tip, so it's a cinch to apply.".

Great makeup tips, Hillary Scott!
