New Nair Cool Gel Hair Remover: This Ain't Your Mama's Stinky Depilatory

As the temperatures rise, more skin is bared. And that means, more hair to remove.

Let's be honest, shaving is the quickest and cheapest method for removing unwanted hair. And then there's waxing, a much more expensive way to melt away growth and keep you stubble-free for longer.

Then there's the depilatory. Apply, wait for 5-10 minutes and rinse away. Maybe you watched your mom use Nair or Neet back in the day. More likely, maybe you 'smelled' these depilatories and came rushing into the bathroom to see what the offensive, strong odor was all about.

Sure, Nair, Neet, and all the others, have always had a foul odor, but when the depilatory worked, your legs and underarms felt like silk---so smooth to the touch.

Now, Nair has come out with Cool Gel Hair Remover (7.5 oz. $6.99, at drugstores). The scent is supposed to be a fresh, clean scent, well, you decide. We like the idea of a gel, because it glides on easily, and does feel cool to the touch. And this new Nair is supposed to remove all the hair you don't want, in a matter of minutes.

The good news----it's wonderful to see a product with a hydrating, cooling texture for those hot spring/summer days ahead.

This Nair is a must try.

Feet Need TLC In Those Warmer Days Ahead: Limit Flip-Flop Wear

Warmer days ahead, mean time to bare your feet, ladies! And for many of us, that means slipping into a pair of faithful flip-flops.

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, 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."

And while we're discussing feet, remember this part of your body also needs sunscreen. How many of you are guilty of applying the SPF everywhere BUT your feet and ankles? You are not alone.

Melanoma can attack any unprotected parts of your body, so please don't skimp on the sunscreen there.

And the foot experts also suggest keeping your precious feet dry. Wash them every day with soap and water, and do clean between the toes. And also, rub a little deodorant on your soles to keep feet sweat-free and smelling fresh.

Overprocessed Hair? Try Redken Anti-Snap To Tame Dry Brittle Locks

It's becoming that time of year again........summer. Out with the old hair color, and in with the new!

Maybe you want to give your tired, blonde locks a major peroxide boost, just like Jennifer Aniston did about a month ago. Or maybe you want to try being a chocolate brown-haired beauty. Whatever the case, every time you mess with hair color chemicals, you're going to pay for it in the end. And that means damage of all sorts.

Of course, that doesn't stop any of us from also, straightening, perming, double-processing, blow-drying, flat-ironing, curling, etc. We all love our hair to look just right. But when the dry, brittle locks appear, then it's hair S.O.S.!!

We found a cult fave by the good folks at Redken. It's called, Extreme Anti-Snap Treatment, and we found it for $18.50 at Target.

No, it isn't cheap, but you are getting a bottle of 8.5 oz. We like this, because it's a leave-in conditioner. And it performs beautifully:

Improves hair strength.
Smoothes the cuticle surface.
Reduces clash from brushing & prevents further damage.
Leaves hair healthy, bright & flexible.

Why is Redken's Anti-Snap Treatment worth the price? Because it's formula is so good. "A protein rich formula that fortifies the damaged area of hair and helps reduce breakage. Contains ceramides and fruit acids for added strength and shine."

Have You Noticed All The Celebrity Un-Natural Redheads This Spring?

Are you a real redhead?

Chances are, you are probably NOT.

We did a little research and found, that only about 2% of the population are natural redheads.

Wow. We didn't think the percentage were that tiny. But what we will say, is that there's nothing tiny about having a glorious head of red hair. It's such a 'notice me' hue, and when a redhead enters a room, all eyes follow.

Maybe that's why gorgeous celebrities are turning red-headed these days. Of course, Rihanna has been absolutely delighted getting a lot of attention for her Raggedy-Ann red locks. And the sexy singerknows how to her rock a cherry red do like no one else. And it doesn't appear that she wants to switch hair shades anytime soon.

Then we have movie stars like Drew Barrymore, Scarlett Johansson, and Emma Stone dipping their hair into a bottle of red color recently. And so, too, have Blake Lively and Hayley Williams, gone over to the fiery shades of auburn and copper.

It's easy becoming a redhead, but staying that way, is the ultimate hair test. It's not easy being red.

Celebrity master colorist, Kim Vo, probably said it best, about maintaining that fiery mane of bottled hair color:

"The biggest challenge are reds. The red color molecule is the smallest of all colors. It's like a tropical rainstorm. It's tempest and dramatic at first and then quickly fades."

We can give you a bit more red hair beauty advice----If you wish to keep those red lockslooking new, then do NOT use hair products with sulfates, which can strip pigment.

Meantime, enjoy your redness and all the attention that goes with it.

Foundation Too Heavy For Spring/Summer Days: Switch Over To Tinted Moisturizer

Foundation. It's a very important step in your beauty/makeup routine. But there comes a time, when the unbearing heat and humidity makes your skin feel uncomfortable with the extra layer of coverage on top of it.

What's the solution?

You know you SHOULD be wearing some type of foundation daily, be it in powder, liquid, or cream form. This layer provides protection from the elements, balances skin tone, and creates a base for blush, shadows, and more.

But when the temperature is soaring to 93 degrees and your face feels hot and damp, foundation can 'melt away,' or just look un-fresh, and heavy. That's why a lot of women switch over to tinted moisturizers during spring and summer days.

And we've found a super one for you to try: Philosophy Hope in a Tinted Moisturizer ($38, at philosophy.com).

Here are Hope's plusses:

1. Provides 20SPF.

2. Lightweight texture.

3. Sheer coverage.

4. Dries to a matte finish.

5. Available in 8 shades.

6. Full of protective anti-oxidants.

7. Airless pump for the perfect dose.

Try a tinted moisturizer, add a little concealer, and a bit of powder during the day, and you're good to go.

Truly Turned On By Turquoise Jewelry: Ralph Lauren Americana Collection

We really, really LOVE turquoise----on earrings, bracelets, necklaces, belts, and everything else, in between. And no one does turquoise accents better than Ralph Lauren.

Of course, turquoise is dreamy on those long, hot summer days, so if you can add a pretty piece to your style this season, then you're on your way.

We happen to get weak in the knees for Ralph Lauren's Americana fashion. We like the whole concept----the western feel and the Native American flair. And this time, the master, himself, has brought back the Western wear he does so beautifully, with accents on bold belt buckles, wide braided leather belts, fringe, ruffles, and wooden bangle bracelets. He's softened the look with lots of lace and creamy blouses with puffed sleeves, and his signature turquoise pieces.

The ones we show here in the photos, are from Ralph Lauren's Americana collection. These are classic beauties, timeless jewelry that you can wear, year after year:

1. Zuni Three Tier Turquoise Chandelier Earrings
$3,000
Zuni three tier turquoise chandelier earrings with squash blossom dangles.

2. Dishta Silver and Turquoise Cuff
$1,295.
Dishta silver and turquoise cuff with channel inlay, circa 1940.

All you need is a simple, white tee/blouse/shirt and a gorgeous piece of turquoise to make a fashion statement.

Granted, Ralph Lauren turquoise jewelry is not cheap, but we like to think of it, as a priceless investment.

Of course, you don't just have to buy Ralph Lauren's signature turquoise designs. But you can learn from this fashion icon and imitate the Ralph Lauren look.

Indulge Beautiful Skin In Morningside Bath & Body Care Products

One of the finest shea butter body products we've ever rubbed onto our skin.

It's called Simple Originals by the Morningside company..... a certified woman-owned business, whose products are manufactured in a plant here in the USA with top-quality FDA standards. We like that.

This is an incredible body butter that we got to try, in the scent of Tomato Blossom.

Don't feel like baring your legs sometimes?

Then this popular 70's trend is for you.

The maxi dress appears to be THE dress of the 2011 spring/summer season. Fresh from the runway, we're seeing this hot trend popping up everywhere. And sexy celebrities like Sheryl Crow, Paris Hilton, and many others, are choosing these floor length dresses.

Anushka Skinny Caffe Latte Body Cream: Like Frappuccino For Your Thighs

Heading to the beach, ladies?

Don't forget to pack this super cellulite buster by cellulite expert Anushka. This is a must-have for your beach bag this summer.

Look, we'll be honest. We've researched the 'skinny' on cellulite....you know...the dimpled fat that likes to form on your thighs, butt, tummy, even arms!

And we have learned, that you CANNOT get rid of cellulite permanently. BUT, you CAN reduce it's appearance, and STOP its further advancement. That is where Anushka's Skinny Caffe Latte Body Cream ($46, at anushkaspa.com) comes to the rescue. This stuff is decadent. Think of it as a lovely frappuccino for your thighs!

"While drinking excessive amounts of caffeine (coffee) is a no-no for well-being, topical application of caffeine can visibly reduce the appearance of cellulite," says Anushka, founder of the famous Anushka Cellulite Clinic.

This cellulite-busting cream uses caffeine and green tea to firm those dimpled parts and smooth out skin with special anti-oxidants. You'll walk along the beach with the best-toned body around.

Sounds yummy for the firmest thighs and butt around. We see that photo of an amazing butt here. And if Anushka's Latte Body Cream can deliver a butt like that one, well, we'd slather it on every day.

Hey, Anuhska has been a pioneer in the fight to STOP cellulite. For years, this woman has researched and studied the problem, and brought to us all, some of the best scientifically-advanced cellulite treatments around. So we say yes, to the frappuccino for your thighs....and yes, butt.

Braun Battery-Operated Hair Brush Boosts Shine And Softness

Say bye-bye to fly-away and frizzy hair. At the simple press of a button, you get instant shine and smoothness.

It's a battery-operated hair brush with active ion technology, called the Braun Satin Hair Brush ($75, at braun.com). And it won't damage hair because it has seamless bristles.

The Satin Hair Brush works with Iontec, which in layman's terms, well, we can't really explain, but let the company say it better:

"Braun IONTEC works just like a conditioner: the ions continuously minimise the build-up of charges and therefore keep the friction between hair fibres down. Braun IONTEC also encourages weak and damaged hair to hold onto essential moisture supplies meaning hair looks smooth, shiny and healthy."

It's easy to use and travel-friendly, and actually, good for your hair.

Let's be honest.....We all damage our locks on a daily basis with constant blow-drying, coloring, bleaching, perming, straightening, flat-ironing, and so forth. And the Braun Satin Hair Brush is designed to smooth out the cuticles and bring back healthy shine.

Who wouldn't want a glossy head of hair?

Gotta Love The Lip Crayon---Hot New Trend For Sheer Color

Hot and bothered....But not in a good way. We're talking about the summer weather and the challenge to keep makeup fresh and in the moment.

Today, it's going to hit 87 degrees here. A bit too HOT for our taste, but we still follow our daily makeup routine. Except this time, we're going to reach for a box of pretty colored crayons.

Well, sort of.

The hot trend right now----lip crayons! You know, those fat pencils everyone can manuever. And if you hate that heavy lipstick look during those hot spring/summer days, then you should pick up a lip crayon. You will like what you see----a sheer hint of color in a moisturizing base.

Lip crayons are different than the typical lip gloss---too sticky or the matte lip stain---too dry. With a big, fat crayon, you get a light wash of color. If you apply a few more coats, you get more of a dramatic look.

And there are tons to choose from:

1. Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm ($15, at clinique.com). In yum-yum shades like, Woppin' Watermelon.

2. NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil ($24, at narscosmetics.com). In creamy, nourishing shades.

3. Hard Candy Visibly Wet Shockingly Glossy Lip Pencil ($6, at Walmart stores).

New Dr. Lewinn Kinerase Line Promises Wrinkle Relief: Does It Deliver?

Last November, we told our Beauty Tip Today readers about a new, cheaper Kinerase skin care line launching in 2011. It's called Dr. Lewinn by Kinerase, with a great price range----between $10 and $35 each. Compare that to the $100 plus price for Kinerase's main skin care line, and we have a smile on our face.

The Lewinn line has been out there for a few months now, at select Walmart and Walgreen stores. And it's a 10-piece line, including cleansers, moisturizers and daily treatments. And yes, the products contain the special patented plant-based kinetin formula found in the original, more expensive Kinerase skin care line adored by many celebrities, including Courteney Cox.

The Kinerase company is based in southern California. The new line is inspired by Dr. LeWinn, an Australian celebrity plastic surgeon.

But does the Dr. Lewinn by Kinerase line really deliver significant wrinkle repair?

Let's dig a little deeper. We have learned that the new, cheaper skin care line DOES have the same super ingredients already found in the brand, but at a smaller concentration. In other words, this is Kinerase L-I-T-E.

According to the Dr. Lewinn line, these products have "only two to three cosmeceutical-grade ingredients," versus the 10 to 12 in a Kinerase prestige product, says Jenniffer Smoot, marketing director for the company. But the scientifically-advanced formula gives back fine results to the consumer, she suggests, because you could not find such skin care technology in dept. stores, until now.

Still, do your homework....check consumer product reviews online. Maybe the Kinerase line with the $100 price tag and higher, is worth the extra splurge. Wouldn't you prefer a skin care product with a 10-12 cosmeceutical-grade rather than one with a 2-3 grade?!

We're just saying.......

Kelly Ripa Go-To Drink: EBOOST Energy Packets

TV host Kelly Ripa is one very busy woman. She's got three kids, does television commercials, makes many media appearances, and also works out like a fiend. And at age 40, she is 'ripped.'

Kelly has admitted that she works out 7 days a week to keep her extremely toned body in shape.

"I work out every day, and I make sure to do something different every day," Kelly has said.

So, if Kelly Ripa is giving out nutritional tips, well, she would surely know what's good for your body and what's bad. You don't have to agree with her super toned, ultra-skinny figure, but you have to admit, the girl is so very disciplined.

EBOOST will certainly add a lot of pep to your step.

Great beauty tip, Kelly Ripa!

How To Rock Rihanna's 2011 Billboard Style: All White Pantsuit

Rihanna could not miss at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards last evening. First of all, the gorgeous girl with the fire engine-red locks picked up some major Billboard hardware, including wins for Female Artist of the Year and Radio Artist of the Year.

And the singer made quite an entrance to the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas for the show.

Rihanna was rockin' a Max Azria white pantsuit along with a white blouse unbuttoned down to her navel and a pair of nude stilettos. By far, probably the sexiest look of the Billboard night.

So, here's how an all-white ensemble speaks louder than vivid pops of color sometimes. White is perfect for spring and summer, especially. It's a simple palette, but one that spells: classic, crisp, and clean.

Rihanna definitely looked like a star and a woman in charge.

If you can't wear stark white, you CAN wear a softer, cream or ivory. There is a shade of white that looks great on everybody.

Gwyneth Paltrow is known to favor a simplistic, modern look, where white is the focus color. It's uncomplicated and fresh.

At least one white blouse or shirt should be a staple in every woman's closet, along with a white blazer and white pants. It's the foundation to building a classic wardrobe.

How To Get Karina's Flat Tummy Six-Pack With One Cheap Exercise Device

Dancing with the Stars' Karina Smirnoff has an incredible body. And she has worked very hard on staying slim and sexy through hours and hours of dancing. Most recently, she showed it all off inside the pages of Playboy magazine.

What fascinated us, is this little beauty tidbit by the very talented DWTS pro:

Karina Smirnoff has a little exercise tip that will help you flatten your tummy and build toward an envious six-pack. And she does this with one, cheap and simple exercise device:

The Dual Ab Wheel by Valeo ($11.56, on SALE at amazon.com). That's right---for less than $12, you are getting a solid piece of gym equipment that really works. Karina recently told OK magazine that she uses her Ab Wheel first thing in the A.M. to help wake her up.

"It's really, really hard!" she admits. "The first time, I could only do 5 or 10, but it's a pretty awesome wokrout. It feels a little like torture but then after, when you see the results, you're like, 'Oh, hello!"

So, how exactly does this thing work?

You are rolling out away from your chest. To use it, simply get on all fours, grab hold of the handles, and glide the wheels back and forth across the floor.

But, not as easy as it sounds.

This little gizmo requires patience and effort.

The Dual Ab Wheel by Valeo features two sturdy and durable plastic handles. It has a comfortable grip for easy rolling. And it's cushioned with rubber foam for easy handling. There are two non-skid wheels for stability. And it's super for toning abs, shoulders, arms and back.

The way we see it, if it's good enough for a professional dancer like Karina Smirnoff, then it's a well-made product that really works.

Dana Delany Defies Facial Gravity With NuSkin Line

Dana Delaney, star of ABC's 'Body of Proof,' looks very youthful at 55-years-old. We searched for an outdoor photo which will always show signs of aging, and darn it, she looks great!

So, what's her beauty secret?

According to what the auburn-haired lovely told People magazine, it's all about loyalty to one skin care system:

NuSkin.

"I've been using a skin care line called NuSkin for 20 years," Dana says. "It's like a pyramid thing. I'm a distributor, and I just distribute it to myself."

The Nu Skin line of products is ONLY sold online. But you can always shop around for cheaper pricing. And Ebay always has some NuSkin items up for bid.

NuSkin offers a wide variety of skin care treatments. One of their popular programs is the, '180 Anti-Aging Skin Therapy System.'. The company says this advanced system, "enhances your skin's natural cell renewal rate and diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles."

Good eating and exercise habits also play a key role in maintaining Dana Delaney's remarkable appearance. The actress enjoys a healthy diet of mostly "fish and vegetables". Plus, she's a yoga enthusiast--working out 5 days a week.

"I just learned that my 'Body of Proof' role was written for a 35-year-old, but they offered it to me."

Now, that's a compliment.

Maria Shriver Stands Tall And Lets Her Incredible Hair Do The Talking

Maria Shriver has always carried herself with dignity and grace. And once again, showed that tough-as-nails Kennedy spirit when she appeared on Oprah Winfrey's farewell show in Chicago on Tuesday. That's the same day it was revealed that her husband, Arnold Schwarzenegger, had fathered a secret child more than 10 years ago with a member of their household staff.

Not an easy week for Maria, the mother of two daughters and two sons.

But on a totally different note, we will say, that we are obsessed with Maria Shriver's stunning locks. And while the going gets tough, Maria has stood tall, through it all, and her hair has certainly stood the test of time.

It's obvious that the talented author, news journalist and speaker, has naturally curly hair. Check out the photos. On May 10th, Maria is wearing her sun-kissed light brunette hair sleek with some waves. And on Tuesday at Oprah's star-studded farewell taping,the 55-year-old beauty is rocking some big, wild curls.

Yes.....incredible hair at 55. Full. Shiny, and with a healthy bounce.

What are Maria Shriver's best hair tips?!

Wish we knew. We are surprised, after all these years of seeing this talented woman, that no one ever asked her, what styling products she uses on her hair. Trust us, there is no shame in asking a famous person how they maintain their beautiful hair, skin, figure, etc.

Meantime, here are some healthy hair tips by celebrity stylist Ted Gibson:

1. Don't shampoo more than 3 times a week. Washing too much strips your hair of natural oils.

2. Overnight treatments replenish your mane while you sleep. Apply product to roots, work it through to the ends, and rinse in the morning.

3. If you want to grow your hair, try taking a supplement called Biotin. I've told a lot of actresses to use this B Vitamin.

Scarves Look Chic In Spring/Summer: Jessica Alba Fave Trend

A scarf in spring/summer?! Are you crazy?

No, we're not. And we love this timeless, chic trend. Just look at Jessica Alba. She must own at least 2 dozen scarves and shawls. Whenever the celebrity beauty hits the streets, she's almost always seen wrapped in one. And Jessica looks gorgeous.

We're not talking about wearing a heavy, woolen scarf/shawl in the dog days of summer. There are so many lightweight scarves to choose from, and in delicate, whisper-soft fabrics like silk, polyester, visose, linen, and more.

Often, you will catch Jessica Alba, wearing a pretty patterned wrap over a simple, white tee or white tank. This casual white tee look gets an extra shot of style, once you wrap yourself in a spring/summer scarf.

And a scarf or shawl can serve several purposes, even at the beach. When a strong ocean breeze kicks in, you can cover your shoulders. Or you can wrap your bikini bottom with one and make an instant sarong, a look that the Kardashian sisters have made very popular.

We found a great website called, Affordable Scarves. And trust us, they have tons of scarves and shawls in every color, pattern, and fabric. And at the moment, Affordable Scarves is having a 15% off SALE.

For under $20, you can pick up a beautiful scarf, and there are many others there for much less.

If you haven't thought about wearing a scarf this spring or summer, look at Jessica Alba, and try one on.

Maybelline Does It 24/7 With New Long Lasting Lippie

A 24-hour long lasting lipcolor?!

Okay, maybe the good folks at Maybelline might be stretching the truth here, just a bit, but what woman isn't intrigued by the thought?

So, let's take a closer look at Maybelline's new SuperStay 24 Color ($7.50, at drugstores). The product consists of a 2-step beauty plan. Apply the lip stain first. Let it dry completely (2 minutes, says Maybelline). And then put on the lip balm. There, beautiful, lush lips that last and last.

We love that SuperStay 24 Color comes in 30 shades. Talk about variety. And the pigment is rich, so choose carefully. You might not want something as vivid as Cherry, shown above.

Let's be frank here....If you think you are going to apply the stain, and one swipe of the balm, and reap the 24-hour beauty benefits, well, you might be disappointed. You will have to re-apply the balm throughout the day, afternoon, and evening, to keep lips moist and color fresh.

Still, it's a good beauty buy at just $7.50, because the lip color will hang in there for a long time. And the pretty stain you get, will stay on your lips and not transfer to glasses and utensils, etc.

Just one important tip-----If you have very dry or cracked lips to begin with, then maybe Maybelline's SuperStay 24 Lip Color is not for you. Lip stains, in general, can be quite drying, even with the balm provided.

Maybelline has provided excellent step-by-step SuperStay Color video lessons here.

UK Debuts Its Own Amazing Wrinkle Filler: Nip & Fab

Just yesterday, here at Beauty Tip Today, we were raving about an amazing wrinkle filler called, Double Strength Deep Wrinkle Filler by Kiehl's.

And today----we are raving about what British beauties are raving about----their own incredible wrinkle filler called, Nip+Fab Frown Fix. The anti-aging line filler is already SOLD OUT! Apparently, this Nip+Fab stuff can perform near miracles when it comes to rejuvenating the skin. And once again, no sting of the needle, ladies.

When the the UK wrinkle cream debuted at Boots stores there last week, long lines snaked out the doors, and the Botox-like Frown Fix quickly sold out. And now there is a waiting list of some 8,000, and counting.

We found this interesting article online at the UK's Daily Mail:

"The cream, which the company says is 'clinically proven' to reduce lines and wrinkles by up to 50 per cent, contains Grant X, a natural alternative to Botox.

While the cream was initially designed as a wrinkle filler - to sit in expression lines and minimise their appearance like a posh Pollyfilla - users found the cream had a cumulative line-reducing effect, with fine lines and wrinkles being significantly reduced over time.

The product is said to work thanks to muscle relaxing properties, collagen synthesis stimulation, and a light-diffusing action that hides and softens wrinkles."
