Get That Bronze JLo 2015 MTV Movie Awards Glow With Body Shop Radiance

Very Versace. Jennifer Lopez slays it once again.

Dressed in a dark mini skirt suit, the mega-star wowed the crowd at the 2015 MTV Music Awards show last night in L.A..

Even more amazing was the signature bronze glow the sexy celeb was showing off.

To COPY JLo's healthy radiance, we suggest adding this from the Body Shop:

Brush On Radiance ($22).

We like this little pot of small, iridescent-colored beads that come in pink or apricot. Just take a big brush and skim it across these cosmetic beads and brush over cheeks, forehead and wherever else you want a luminescent complexion.

Great beauty product that REALLY boosts a healthy, JLO bronze glow!

Gladiator Sandals remain HOT Trend: Bella Thorne Wears Sky-High

Are you a lover or a fighter? Or somewhere fashionably in between?

We're not sure if these gladiator sandals are too much, but these shoes are SEXY, and Bella Thorne is lovin' the hot fashion trend.

And so is her friend, er.....Miley's friend, Patrick Schwarzenegger.
.

Gladiators were seen at Paris Fashion week. Take a look at these from Chloe:

And at Valentino:

We LOVE gladiator sandals, but there is a fine line between tasteful and not so tasteful.

When the lace-ups go beyond the knees and the heel climbs really high, well, it becomes super naughty.

However, Bella looks gorgeous, and if you dare to wear her sexy style, then check out these from NastyGal, $110.

Bring on Spring 2015!

Plumper, Smoother Lips The Smart Way: Try Restylane Silk

Plumper, smoother lips.

Who doesn't like that?

The problems happen when women seek lip injections that go awry, and we've all seen some celebrities with over-blown, unnatural-looking lips.

Now there's new Restylane Silk by Galderma to the beauty rescue!

This hyaluronic acid, dermal filler injectabe has been designed especially for lip enhancement, as well as the lines above + around the lip area.

In fact, Restylane® Silk is the first and only FDA-approved filler indicated for lip enhancement + treatment of perioral lines.

Yes....That should be re-assuring to the patient.

This is what Stuart Raetzman, Chief Executive Officer of Galderma Laboratories, L.P, and Senior Vice President North America said recently:

"There is strong market interest for aesthetic products that can help address the signs of aging in the smile area without resulting in an artificial or "overdone" look, and we are pleased that Restylane® Silk will satisfy this need for healthcare professionals and consumers in the U.S."

Restylane Silk gives great lip definition WITHOUT over-plumping.

So results are natural-looking, fuller lips. NO duck-lips.

Look at this Before + After!

Khloe Kardashian Shows Off Perfect Pink Stiletto Nails + Dazzling Diamonds

Gotta LOVE Khloe Kardashian's perfect pink, stiletto nails! 

So sexy!

We found this photo on the famous reality star's Instagram page:

For us...the stiletto nail is TOO high maintenance, but we still adore the glam style it evokes.

Khloe's perfect pink mani looks even more amazing with the expensive rings adorning 7 fingers
----Shay Jewelry, Cartier, and xiv Karats.

We especially like the shade of pink polish this blonde K-sister is wearing.

If you want to copy, er 'kopy' Khloe's perfect pink nails, then try OPI Pink-ing of You. We think this comes pretty darm close to the shade she is wearing.

We found a bottle for $9.50 at ULTA.

It's from OPI's Soft Shades Nail Lacquer Collection.

Khloe's got the right idea for Spring style. Soft pink nails set the tone.

Dr. Frederic Brandt Passes Away: Field Of Dermatology Less Brighter

We were saddened to learn yesterday of Dr. Frederic Brandt's untimely passing.

He was a brilliant, Miami-based dermatologist with an A-list celebrity following. Kelly Ripa, Gwyneth Paltrow + Madonna were 3 big fans.

We were fortunate to interview him by email several years ago; he was tough to nail down for a lengthy talk, because he was super busy.

Dr. Brandt started playing around with BOTOX before it was acceptable by huge numbers, and he also featured an incredible line of effective, skin care products.

So in honor of this very smart expert, we are looking at one of his retinol fan favorites:

Glow by Dr. Brandt....Overnight Resurfacing Serum ($85, at Dr. Brandt Skin Care).
A whopping 2% active retinol time-release complex is featured. That's pretty big--compared to a 1% retinol formula we thought was the most potent. And this serum delivers better tone and texture and younger-looking skin.

What's so FAB about retinol?

Very simple. Retinol, the gentler cousin of Retin-A, works. The pace is slower than Retin-A,  but your skin escapes the irritation, dryness + harshness that retinoic acids can deliver
.
Sephora also sells a bunch of Dr. Brandt's skin care products.

To learn more about Dr. Brandt's passing, you can read People Magazine's article.

Khloe Kardashian + 100 LB. Squats Key To Firmer, Higher Behind?

Khloe Kardashian claims she hits the gym 5 days a week!

Good for her, and we have no reason to disbelieve the youngest K-sister, because she says she works out with famous personal trainer Gunnar Peterson.

 So....we've all noticed Khloe's bigger-than-usual, higher-than-usual + rounder-than-usual butt.

 Is it real or fake?

Khloe claims it's the grueling sessions at the gym, including her 100 lb.squats, that are responsible for her fitter, firmer body.

Here's proof the 30-year-old K-sister trains hard, from her own Instagram page:



Can squats with free weights build a better, firmer behind?

YES....But, getting that perfect roundness + height, well, we're not so sure that weights + machines can make your butt look that amazing, so fast.

For a good lesson on squats for women, check this out on YouTube.

Brand New StriVectin Illuminating Serum Promises Even Skin Tone + Radiant Complexion

It's been said that actress Gwyneth Paltrow enjoys a $21,000-a-month beauty budget.

Wow...Let us sit sit down for a moment to re-group.

Okay....we're over it. Let's be honest. Trying to stay youthful + pretty is a multi-billion dollar business we are sure.

And a lot of us spend BIG $$$ on all kinds of skin care items and age-defying cosmetics to ZAP lines + wrinkles, plump up our cheeks ...
and even restore a brighter + more radiant complexion---like StriVectin's newest skin repair product:

StriVectin Intensive Illuminating Serum

Nothing wrong with that. But when you're shelling out almost $90 for a tiny, 1 oz. bottle, well, you're praying the stuff works miracles + more.

So does new StriVectin Intensive Illuminating Serum help BALANCE skin tone?

We are not certain. But Allure magazine claims this 1 oz. bottle is worth the $89:

Allure Magazine wrote Intensive Illuminating Serum "just might be the smartest product in our medicine cabinet.".

Frog Prince Lipstick: New Emerald Green Lippie That Acts Like Mood Ring

Oh, yet another pH-balanced makeup gimmick designed to look unique on you.

Maybe, maybe not, but this new lipstick By Poppy sounds like fun. We can't guarantee this emerald green lippie will deliver a pretty, rose-bud tint, but that's what the formulation promises--the perfect soft pink for each, individual skin tone.

Gotta LOVE the name: LIPSTICK QUEEN FROG PRINCE LIPSTICK.

Yes, it's a high-tech beauty product. And it works like this:

When you apply the lipstick, it starts out GREEN, but then goes on SHEER and a new color magically begins to emerge after a few seconds by using YOUR natural coloring + the pH levels in your skin as a beauty guide.

How COOL is that?!

Hopefully this stuff is legit and doesn't give EVERY gal a too bright, gaudy fuchsia shine.

To try this custom shade pink lipstick, it will cost you $25. You can find it here at SpaceNK.com.

We found one review at the SpaceNK website raving about Frog Prince Lipstick. Read this:

My Average Rating: 

"Surprisingly flattering, buildable hue with a great finish…even works on darker skin tones. I am really glad I bought it. "

Yes, I recommend this product.

There you have it. This emerald green lipstick really acts like a mood ring, making it special for you, and you, alone.

Tatcha Blotting Papers Keeping Up With Kim Kardashian's Flawless Makeup

Let's face it---Kim Kardashian ALWAYS looks flawlessy put together when it comes to her striking makeup.

Some fans have even remarked that Kim K looks photo-shopped in person.

Well, we like to give a lot of the credit to Kim's magic makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic. And according to the most famous reality star, it's all in the CONTOURING.

Kim K shows us the before the blending proof on her Instagram page:

And to maintain the busy, red carpet beauty looking flawless + matte, Mario prefers to use blotting paper, as he told Grazia Middle East:

"To keep Kim looking fresh from day to evening, I use TATCHA Blotting Papers, which keep the skin from getting muddy in the heat."

You can find these excellent, Japanese blotting papers at Sephora ($12).

Tatcha doesn not contain powder, but instead is made of "100% natural abaca leaf and gold flake to absorb excess oil without disturbing makeup for petal fresh skin...."

Smart beauty tip coming from a smart makeup artist.

Khloe Kardashian Claims Mama Mio Pregnancy Boob Cream Gives Her Firm, Radiant Decollete

Okay, Khloe Kardashian. We are well aware how you and the other K + J sisters cleverly drop brand names to get us to buy certain products.

And we think we're on to you, too. Although, maybe this REALLY is one of your favorite beauty tips.

So let's take a look further. Khloe recently spoke with IntotheGloss.com about her beauty routine. And she listed a bunch of makeup + skin care faves.

We have noticed how she loves showing off her bosom these days. And there's one product she is so into, a cream that nursing mom/sister Kourtney told her about:

Mama Mio Pregnancy Boob Tube, 3.4 Fluid Ounce ($41.26 + free shipping, at Amazon).

And apparently, it's SAFE for non-nursing women out there. 

Khloe said this to IntotheGloss:

"Kourtney got me into all these Mama Mio products that are all natural—I think she used them when she was breast-feeding. Their names are really cute—there is one that’s called the Shrink to Fit Cellulite Smoother that I like. I use one of their other products called the Pregnancy Boob Tube every day. It’s got avocado oil and shea butter so when your boobs are growing you don’t get stretch marks. I like it though, because it tightens your neck, too. I’ve been using it everyday for a year. Now people always ask me, ‘Why do you have this?’ hinting as if I’m trying to have a baby, and I’m like, ‘No, no. It’s just because I f***in’ like it’."

There you have it.

We think Mama Mio Pregnancy Boob Tube cream is worth a shot for a smooth, youthful neck and breasts.

Will You Copy Rihanna's New Sharpie Brow From New Single: Bitch Better Have My Money

Rihanna has such a striking, beautiful face. But even this sexy superstar cannot pull off the sharpie brow look. We don't think anyone can.

Here she is from her brand new single--'Bitch Better Have My Money.'

Those brows are almost Frida Kahlo brows:

Bold brows remain HOT as far as beauty trends go, but this commercial look is just that. Rihanna is only 'wearing' the sharpie brow to sell album covers, etc.

Here is Rihanna from her other recent single--FourFive Seconds with another dark, full brow.

And here is the singer with her signature red carpet brow---full, light, + penciled
.

If you still prefer Rihanna's BOLD sharpie brow, then try this sharpie-like brow liner by Eyeko. We found it at Nordstrom's ($19).

You can almost doodle it on. You can't miss with this bold, liquid brow liner. A very buildable brow liner.

Bobbi Brown Says We Can ALL Wear Red-Hot Red Lipstick With Simple Beauty Tip

Gotta LOVE makeup genius Bobbi Brown. Enjoying her new appearances on GMA's Yahoo Your Day Series.

Today, the celebrity makeup artist talked about choosing the right red-HOT RED lipstick.

She claims we can ALL rock BOLD red lipstick. Surprisingly, Bobbi says that skin tone matters somewhat in picking the perfect red lipstick...but more importantly, its' all about the natural color of your lips.

1. So if your lips are naturally pale, then choose a BRIGHTER red lipstick.

2. Then choose a matching red lip pencil.

3. Keep the rest of your makeup simple.

Don't believe us?

Then check out Bobbi Brown's cool demo here on GMA this morning.
