E! Host Giuliana Rancic Lovin' Her Blonde Ambition Tour: Would You Lighten Up?

Now THAT's dramatic!

We did a double-take when we saw E!'s most famous television host reveal her new, very BLONDE hair color last evening.

Giuliana has played around with several hair color changes in the past, but this one REALLY grabs attention.

We think it's a sexy look, Miss G., but best of luck trying to maintain the flaxen strands, minus the dyeing damage, brassiness, frizzies, breakage and all that other junk that can happen to those with very light colored hair.

We color our dark hair and suffer damage, too, but when you go lighter, you pay a bigger price.

John Frieda's got a nice collection of hair products that offer you blonde beauties lots of TLC, like this one, Sheer Blonde Color Renew Tone Correcting Shampoo, ($5.99, at Walgreen's).

We think Giuliana's teeth really dazzle under this Playboy bombshell blonde look.

We applaud her for taking the chance. It's a BIG deal when you switch up your hair color in a major way.

We prefer Giuliana best with darker roots, but that is only our humble opinion.

We think she looks AMAZING with longer hair, er extensions, too.

Giuliana says she is LOVIN' her new, blond locks, and we bet husband Bill is enjoying her blonde ambition tour.

Would you lighten up for summer?

Summer Sandal Season Means Smooth, Soft Feet: Try This In the Shower

We have written here several times before about the calluses under our feet. We usually go to extremes by investing in one of those almost dangerous callus razors. You can pick one up for about $10. This beauty foot device actually shaves away dead skin. These razors come with replaceable double-edged blades.

.

But callus razors take some practice. We're not kidding. If you push too hard on the razor device, you can slice off a bit too much skin, and end up with bloody feet.

There's got to be another method. And we have stumbled on to it. No pain, either---just a weird-massage-like feeling. And you do this in the shower.

It costs $45, but if this brushing-gizmo can do what it claims....and deliver smooth, soft, callus-free feet, then we're in!

It's called the FootMate.

1. You place the suction cups (found underneath device) and stick them to the bottom of your shower or bathtub.
2. Then you apply the FootMate liquid soap that comes with the gizmo all over your feet. You could also use your own favorite body wash. 
3.Now rub your feet back + forth over the FootMate bristles.  

You get a nice soapy massage with the benefits of good circulation + excellent exfoliation.
Check out the demo we found at Joyus.com.

We want a FootMate NOW! We are tired of using a callus shaver for our Hobbit feet.

How about you, mate?

Would you invest $45 for a FootMate that gives you smooth, soft feet for the summer sandal season?

JustNatural: Organic Skin Care Inspired By Nature

Think about it.

The "purest plant oils, butters, botanical extracts and essentials from the best that nature has to offer."

Wouldn't you prefer these organic ingredients in your skin + hair care products?

Then JustNatural is an excellent beauty line to consider. We were lucky enough to receive 4 JustNatural items to try recently. And we must admit---these skin + hair care creams and serums appear to be just as effective and elegant as the big store brands.

As women, there is a lot of pressure to be beautiful with healthy, perfect, youthful skin + hair. So we rush out to buy whatever is hot in the beauty market with most of us not really knowing what chemicals + funky preservatives also share the ingredient list of these expensive products.

With JustNatural, you understand EXACTLY what you are getting in the company's extensive line of shampoos, soaps, anti-aging creams, scrubs, polishes, bath therapies and even skin care products for children.

It's rather simple for the JustNatural company philosophy:
Natural + Organic. Made in the USA. Vegan. Cruelty-Free. Chemical-Free. No GMO's. Paraben-Free. Alcohol-Free. Chemical-Free and Sulfate-Free.

And check out some of the 250 ingredients the company uses to create these wonderful skin care + hair care items:
Neem Oil. Hibiscus Flower Extract. Tucuma Butter. Argan Oil. Comfrey Root Extract. Etc.

Our favorite JustNatural product is the Anti-Aging Night Facial Cream ($56.99).

This is a lovely, light cream that feels  silky + nourishing. Plus it's packed with fine ingredients like Aloe Vera Leaf Gel, Geranium Rose Floral Water, Evening Primrose Oil, Grapeseed Extract, Borage Oil, Mango Fruit Extract, Shea Butter, Orange Blossom Floral Water, Jojoba Oil, Vegetable Emulsifier, Glycerin, Essential Oils of Carrot Seed, Myrrh, Vitamin E..

LOVE this cream. You wake up to skin that glows and is super smooth to touch.

We also received a fab Turbinado Brown Sugar Body Scrub ($27.99). Generous size! And this scrub is a winner---a terrific exfoliator that leaves the body invigorated and soft-to-the-touch. Made from freshly-cut sugar cane and enriched with apricot kernel oil, shea butter, grapefruit extract, to name a few. Smells so yummy!

 We are running out of beauty space here to brag about JustNaturalSkinCare.com, but we also tried the company's  Proteins & Vitamins Hair Treatment ($49.99) and their Anti-Aging Renewal Serum ($37.99).

These skin  and hair care products are all FRESH, smell amazingly delicious and inspired by nature.

We think JustNatural is a must-try. Your skin can tell the difference.

Andy Cohen Presses RHOC Tamra Barney About Her Changing Face

If you watch a lot of the Real Housewives reality TV, then you notice when one of the gals has tinkered with her face, hair, body, and even her makeup.

Today we are looking at Tamra Barney, one of the original cast members of the "Real Housewives of Orange County," the first housewives show that hit the BRAVO marketplace.

Tamra Barney is quite the "little pistol." And yes, she can be sinister + vindictive, as we've been seeing this season on RHOC.

We've noticed this time around, that Tamra's face looks very taut with smaller eyes. As pretty as she is, Tamra looks hard.

And folks are wondering, "What did Tamra do to her face?!" It's all over Twitter and other social media outlets.

On Monday night, Tamra was a guest on Andy Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live" show on BRAVO.

And playful Andy got Tamra in the HOT seat when he read aloud the top question of the night about the blonde reality star:

"What has Tamra Barney done to her face? Eyelift? Facelift? Her legs look great though."

Host Andy then put on the heat, adding....."Have you done something to your face?"

Tamra answered---"Nothing. Zero.".

Andy came back at Tamra suggesting she might have been having cosmetic injections, giving her very high cheekbones.. "I feel like I'm looking at some fillers," Andy said.

Tamra coyly told Andy to 'feel' her face for fillers. He did not.

But Andy did keep pursuing his line of beauty questions for Tamra.

"You have some stuff in your cheek, new stuff in your cheek. No?" Andy pushed.

Tamra finally admitted with a smirk...."Maybe just a little bit."

Take a look here at Tamra's face on Hulu.

We are no expert, but we don't think that fillers would make someone's face look so hard or the eye so small. Then did she have plastic surgery? Who knows.

To learn all about fillers, check out this excellent website---RealSelf.

What do you think?

Has Tamra Barney done anything to her face cosmetically?

Celebs Drinking Clay To Stay Skinny: Use Clay Mask Instead

Drinking clay to stay SKINNY?

We heard actress Shailene Woodley talking about that a few weeks ago. And today's British publication Daily Mail Online has a post about the latest diet fad.

Ingesting clay?

We were dumb-founded, indeed.  But apparently, it is a real thing, as long as the clay is from a company that is offering "certified clay for human consumption."

Longtime model Elle Macpherson is said to be a proud clay drinker, too. And Zoe Kravitz, also.

The clay consumption process appears to be simple:

Clay in your cup. Mix with water. Drink.

Why clay?

We know it makes for a super skin care mask as it draws out impurities and revs up circulation.

Clay is also loaded with magnesium, and that in itself, flushes out the toxins + heavy metals from the body. Well then---why not just take a magnesium powdered supplement?

We are not sure. But we do know that pregnant women are advised to stay away from clay-ingesting drinks. Bentonite clay appears to be a favorite clay for human consumption. We do know this clay is also wonderful as a facial mask. It is a deep pore cleanser---gets rid of dirt, grease, acne + any other bacteria on the face, delivering a healthy pink glow + clearness to the complexion.

Read this page about drinking clay. At least become educated about what you put into your body.

Before you start investing in clay drinks, PLEASE do your homework. Ask your dermatologist about it. Play SAFE, girls + boys.

We would rather wear it as a clay facial mask than drink it as a yucky, clay cocktail.

Would you drink clay to get skinny?

Lilly Ghalici Fired From "Shahs" But Still In Style: Her Dress Less Than $60!

Lilly Ghalici.

We are surely going to miss the so-called "Persian Barbie" since word has it from the Bravo TV network, that the glamorous reality star has NOT been invited back for another season.

We are fans of the Bravo hit "Shahs of Sunset."

Lilly Ghalici certainly has a HUGE fan base. So----why wasn't this star invited back for the new season?

The network isn't talking, but word has it that Lilly was BORING....that she was merely, "all about the pretty," but added little to the reality show based in L.A..

We beg to differ. It was FUN watching Lilly with her miles of jet black hair extensions + super long, stacked eyelashes. Not fair.

But don't worry about Lilly.

She's a savvy businesswoman and has recently launched her own YouTube channel called GhaliciTV--Glam Secrets.

Women around the globe LOVE Lilly's glamorous lifestyle + fashion. Because of her super slim, proportioned body, she wears clothing beautifully

We found these pics on Lilly's personal blog. There, she talks about the lbd she bought for LESS than $60 to wear.

It's a black bandage dress called the Sophia dress. Check it out here. It comes in S. M. L..

You never know. Lilly Ghalici could have her own reality show soon. We'll be watching.

Model Miranda Kerr Can Plank For 10 Minutes! Great For Flat Belly!

Miranda Kerr.

Yes, she's an amazing model. But the 31-year-old beauty really blew us away when we read this today:

"I like to exercise every day but I mix it up," Miranda tells Body & Soul magazine. "I may even put some music on and let Flynn dance around while I hold the plank position for 10 minutes to strengthen my core."

10 minutes?!

Incredible. We are older than Miranda, but sigh, we can only hold the plank position for about a minute or so....That's why this model has such an enviable FLAT belly.

So, let's look at the plank position once more.

If you want to tone up that tummy, along with the other flab above and below it, then you need to plank, because this yoga position zeroes in on the entire midsection. Add some regular push-ups in your routine, and together, you will also firm up your arms. So this is key for women, especially when we all hate the dingle-dangle under the arms.

How To Do It:

1. Begin on your hands and knees, with hands directly under shoulders, keep knees under hips. 2. Move feet back until the legs are straight and you’re balancing on your toes, feet together. 3. Keep the shoulders pulled back and down, with arms straight. 4. Don't let belly sag--contract muscles. This is the Plank Pose.

Hold for 30 seconds, 3 times, with a 30-second rest in between. As you get stronger, hold the plank position for 1 minute, 3 times, with the 30-second rest in between.

Give the plank pose a chance. You WILL see results.

There are 2 ways to PLANK. Neither position is easy.

Cellulite: Even Actress Sharon Stone Has Some And Doesn't Care

Cellulite, bikinis + hot summer days.

Somehow, all 3 seem to go together. And yes-- even famous celebrities have cellulite. Most stars don't admit to owning dimpled thighs + butts, but there are a few honest ladies who lay it all out there:

Sharon Stone at age 56 says she has cellulite and reality star Kim Kardashian already revealed she had some cottage cheese problem areas a long time ago.

5 years ago, to be exact. Kim posed in a bikini without photoshopping in 2009and said this:

"I love my body the way it is," Kim told Life & Style magazine. "I'm not perfect. I have cellulite, so what ... I chose to do the shoot because I am so sick of people giving me a hard time for those photos that came out in Complex. I wanted to say, 'This is me, take it or leave it."

And Sharon Stone just told E! News this about the common skin condition that affects most women
of all ages, body types and races:

"I haven't worked out in a couple of months because I just don't feel like it," Sharon admits.

"But now I'm going on vacation and I know what they're going to do--[magazines] are going to put a circle around my a** and do one of those crazy magnified pictures saying, "What happened to her a**? It's a bag of cheese."

There is NO way to get rid of cellulite permanently, but its progress can be halted with exercise, creams, lotions, and dry-brushing the problem areas.

Meantime.....most of us have a little cellulite and so what?!

For some of the BEST cellulite treatments on the market, check out the cellulite pioneer--expert Anushka. Here is her website.

Do You Tight-Line? Bobbi Brown's Secret To Smoky Eyes

Tight-line. Waterline. Upper waterline.

If you play around with eye makeup, then you know what we're talking about.

There are 2 waterlines found on your eyes--upper waterline + lower waterline.

Celebrity makeup artist Bobbi Brown revealed to Glamour magazine this little beauty secret:

My Smoky-Eye Trick:
"If you want to create an amazing effect, apply gel eyeliner on your upper waterline. It's a little freaky but adds a sexy intensity to your look," Bobbi says.

Upper Waterline. This is the area of skin found directly underneath your upper lashes. Adding liner to this area is called "tight-lining."

Lower Waterline. This is called the lower rim or bottom rim of your eyes.

To see exactly what tight-lining is, we found these excellent photos at lashaffairblog.
Okay, not the easiest thing to do, but you get the idea from the photos here.

Bobbi Brown 'Perfectly Defined' Gel Eyeliner in Pitch Black ($24, at Nordstrom's).
Will you try this for the sexiest smoky eye look?

Maybe you already tight-line.

The Convertible Strapless Bra: Tricky To Manuever But A Must-Have

The bra.

Love it or hate it, we just need to wear one most of the time. And since it is summer with lots of bare skin fashion, you need a great bra that instantly hides the straps + offers up solid support. 

So let's put down the hood and talk about the CONVERTIBLE.

That's right ladies, the convertible strapless bra. And if you don't own one, well, you need one. It is a must-have.

Here are a few interesting bra nuggets:

1. Did you know that the most popular bra size here in the U.S. is a 36C?! Hmmm, well, we certainly got robbed.

2. Did you know that a woman should own 3-5 everyday bras, according to fit expert for Vanity Fair, Tiffany Aschenbrenner.

3. Did you know that you also need a high-impact sports bra and a convertible strapless number for special occasions?

4. Did you know that the smart thing to do, is rotate the bras throughout the week? "This will minimize stretch and extend a bra's life from regular wear and tear," Tiffany told InStyle magazine.

5. Did you know that when it comes to caring for bras, we've been told that hand-washing is better than machine-washing?.

Getting back to the convertible strapless bra, we attempted this morning to fashion ours into the criss-cross style to hide our bra straps from a top with cut-in shoulders. We struggled, dork that we are. It took some adjustment, but the convertible is a clever bra, and works!

Hubby Apollo's Gone To Prison But Phaedra Parks Keeps Eye Makeup Looking Fab!

Atlanta Housewives star Phaedra Parks probably knew this was coming down, but the glamorous southern belle never lets them see her sweat.

Her bad-boy husband Apollo Nida has just been sentenced to 8-years federal prison time for his role in a much-publicized mail, wire + bank fraud scandal.

He's done the prison thing before, but it hurts because he and Phaedra have a beautiful family with 2 adorable, little boys.

Miss Phaedra, ALWAYS a proud, strong woman, did NOT attend yesterday's sentencing hearing in Georgia's US District Court.
We think Apollo got a soft sentence, considering the charges initially involved up to 30-years behind bars for identity theft + money laundering totaling some $2.3 million.

Meantime, Phaedra Parks has always continued caring for her family and was even out peddling her new book, "Secrets of the Southern Belle" back in April of this year.

Phaedra's makeup is ALWAYS immaculate, prim + proper. And her cat eye makeup is FAB!

LOVE the sultry, black eyeliner + sexy faux lashes!

To get those pretty peepers, try these light, natural-looking false lashes from lashesinabox #10, a  20-piece set for $25.

Makeup artist Mikaela South gives an excellent demo on how to apply the LashesinaBox #10 false lashes. Check it out here.

Dreads Are Dope When You Look Like Ciara: But Hair Needs TLC

We don't care what the critics say, because there are a few of them out there giving thumbs down to new mama Ciara's sexy, super-long dreads.

We think Ciara looks gorgeous with her new extension locks! Is that a heavy look for a hot summer full of humidity?

Oh, yeah. But---when you look like beautiful Ciara, you can rock the dreads. Word has it that Ciara got the dreads for a new Calvin Klein ad campaign coming up.

And then there is this TV dreads pioneeer, Lisa Bonet, STILL choosing her signature dreads, and STILL looking fab in them.

Huxtable hair was where it was it, and still remains so.

Even Lisa Bonet's hot honey Jason Momoa had dreamy dreadlocks for a while.
Yes.....Dreads are dope. BUT----not the easiest hairstyle to care for. Some people think you don't even attempt to wash dreads, but that is a major No-No.

Of course you have to shampoo and add some TLC, or tender loving care to dreads.

We did some studying up on dreads and found this great website where you can learn ALL about dreads and the right hair products to keep dreads tight and just about maintenance-free.

Check it out here.

And for some amazing facts + rumors about dreads, see this website at dreadlocks.com.

Want To Try Going The No-Poo Route For Healthier Hair? Try Suave Coconut

Hair.

If you check our extensive archive here at Beauty Tip Today, you will be bombarded with tons of posts about HAIR.

Yes....We are obsessed, since our own locks are a stubborn head with a mind of its own, so to speak.

There has been SO much information about the no-poo system, and how "washing" your hair with silicone-free conditioners or baking soda + apple cider vinegar will deliver stronger, healthier, shinier, cleaner HAIR.

Well, that's what all the testers claim to have received after trying the no-poo method out for a few months.

We have tried the so-called silicone-free conditioners, and for us, well, we're not sure it is that effective. Yes---no-pooing left our locks SOFT + tangle-free. But super clean and odor-free?!

Hmmm. Not for us.

But.....we are just one tester. Many women + men have become no-poo converts and report LONGER + healthier locks compared to frequent shampooing.

After doing some beauty research, we have found that SUAVE Naturals Conditioner in Tropical Coconut is one of the best + cheapest no-poo conditioners to try,

And it IS a super beauty budget buy at just $2.29 for a BIG 22.5 fl. oz. bottle at your favorite RiteAid store.

So, how do you no-poo?

We stumbled on to a blogger named Rebecca, an expert no-poo-er for 2.5 years now.

You can check out Rebecca's no-poo method here.

Hair Already Damaged In Early July? Then Spritz + Watch A Miracle!

Heat + humidity can both do a number on your hair. The sun can fade colored locks swiftly + extensively. It can also leave behind the frizzies and even dry out your mane.

On top of all that, highlighting, blow-drying, straightening, bleaching, flat-ironing and so forth, all serve to weaken the hair shaft + remove the shine. Usually by the END of summer, your hair is CRYING out for help and tender loving care.

Well, it's ONLY early July, and some of you might already be struggling with limp, dull, dried out tresses. A healthy trim will clean up some of the damaged hair. But the products you use also play a key role.

We adore leave in hair treatments because we are lazy and like many of you, prefer the quick fix. Here's a good one that most salons sell, but that you can also pick up at beauty stores. NOT cheap at $21.99, but it works effectively and lasts a while.

It's a 10 Miracle Leave-In Plus Keratin (at Walgreen's) promises to perform 10 great hair things:

1. Maintenance of keratin straightening treatments
2. Increases styling and manageability
3. Perfect for all hair types
4. Replaces lost protein
5. Protects the natural keratin in hair
6. Protects against heat
7. Restores hydration balance
8. Detangles, defrizzes and adds shine
9. Strengthens hair structure
10. Seals cuticles for extra silky hair

First Lady Michelle Puts On BIG, Gold Hoop Earrings Like J Lo For WH July 4th Party

We LOVE it!

First Lady Michelle Obama is photographed wearing BIG, and we mean 4-inch, gold HOOPS yesterday at a July 4th barbecue on the White House South Lawn, honoring the country's servicemen + servicewomen.

So very J Lo, Mrs. Obama!

The First Lady looked elegant in a flirty white, sundress with hair neatly pulled back in a chic bun.

“Because of you, we’re safe, we’re free, we depend on you for our way of life, and the sacrifices you make are extraordinary,” President Obama said.

The President warmly greeted military families from the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard.

It's not easy for a First lady to define her style while spending her moments in the White House under such a prestigious position.

Michelle Obama likes to break the First Lady fashion rules, and we admire that about her.

Big, 4-inch hip hop hoops are quite unique + edgy for a First Lady. The jewelry choice surprised us when we caught her last evening on the news.

We applaud the BIG, gold signature, J Lo hoops!

Love Sunglasses? Wrap Is Where It's At Say Dermatologists

We all LOVE playing in the summer sun. And yeah...We've all been warned about the dangers of spending too much time enjoying those HOT July days.

UVA, UVB----Who cares, right?

Well. We SHOULD care enough to put on a killer pair of sunglasses, right?

Too much exposure from the sun has been proven to cause skin cancer, wrinkles + sagging and also this:

CATARACTS.

According to the EPA website, it's from the UV radiation:

...."Cataracts are a form of eye damage in which a loss of transparency in the lens of the eye clouds vision. If left untreated, cataracts can lead to blindness. Research has shown that UV radiation increases the likelihood of certain cataracts. "


So what should we do?

Dermatologists suggest wearing sunglasses, of course, but your best bet is to invest in wrap around sunglasses.

Yuck...You might say?

Today, there are lots of wrap around sunglasses styles to choose from that aren't old-lady-looking.

These Ralph Lauren wrap arounds are tres chic + tres expensive.

But there are cheaper shades that accomplish the same thing, and that is to shield the entire eye from the UV rays as best as can be done.

Kohl's offers a bunch of pretty, wrap arounds. Even the Jennifer Lopez brand offers some:

These are the Jennifer Lopez Blondie Wrap Sunglasses on SALE now for $16.99.

When BIG Bad Lips Happen To Beautiful Women

Dermatologists + plastic surgeons would both agree that a little lip filler never hurt anyone. But they emphasize the words "a little."

That's when celebrities, models and "regular women" get into cosmetic trouble--when they don't adhere to those words.

Getting dermal filler can be quite addicting. Whether you're using filler to boost V-O-L-U-M-E into your cheeks, jawline, under eye sockets or lips, a little goes a long way.

A good dermatologist or good plastic surgeon knows when to say, "when." But sadly, many surgical pros yield to the patient's wishes, and instantly we've got this:

When BIG Bad Lips Happen to Beautiful Women.

And this time we won't even mention actress Lisa Rinna.

Here are just a handful of stars with beyond normal-looking lips---Nicole Kidman, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian and Janice Dickinson.

No---We cannot prove these lovely women have done anything to their lips cosmetically-speaking, but it would appear that they have possibly gone over-board with the injections. Allegedly, we might add.

Experts will advise using Hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane, Perlane, Juvederum, etc. These substances are the preferred choice for lip enhancement because when done properly, look + feel soft + natural.

And if lips become TOO big, these volumizing fillers can be reversed.

Here's what derm expert Dr. Teh Siew Yen says about lip injection over-board:

 "The key to natural looking lips is to start with a small amount of filler and touch up with more later, if needed. Too much lip filler can result in blunting of the lip edges and cause a sausage-like appearance. Less is often more and it is best to make the most of our natural lips rather than attempting to over-stuff it."

Comfy Clothing For J Lo: Her Fave Are Wedge Sneakers....

When she's NOT on the red carpet doing her sexy thing, Jennifer Lopez likes to kick back in something easy-breezy. J Lo LOVES her loose gym looks + special shoes, according to the July issue of InStyle magazine:

When asked about her FAVORITE article of fashion, this is how the glam superstar responded

"Something comfy, like my sweatsuits and wedge sneakers."

 And big wedge it is. We're not talking Kohl's, either.

J Lo adores her Giuseppe Zanotti wedge sneakers in both white and black shades. These zip-up, metal-plate sneaks give her a nice boost in the height department.

These are $1,000 a pair sneakers. We found some at Saks.

You can copy J Lo's wedge sneaker look with a much cheaper pair. We hunted down these at ami clubwear for $23.99. Lace-up 3-inch wedges with a single metal plate.
