Kiehl's Double Strength Deep Wrinkle Filler: Like Hyaluronic Acid Without The Needle

Hmmm. Hyaluronic Acid in a tube....minus the sting of the needle, over and over again?!

Now we're listening.

The well-respected skin care people at Kiehl's, claim their new Double Strength Deep Wrinkle Filler does just that----plump and smooth away the signs of aging. The small crazy glue-like tube will cost you $39, but hold on. The stuff is pretty remarkable.

You've heard of the very popular dermal fillers, Restylane and Juvederm. Both contain Hyaluronic Acid, which naturally exists in the body. It lubricates your joints and is in your skin and eyes. But as we age, less and less of the acid is produced.

Of course, you need to be stung by a needle to receive Hyaluronic Acid to instantly smooth away wrinkles or add volume to the face. Plus, it isn't free. Here in the U.S., the average cost of Restylane/Juverderm per treatment is between $500-$800; and treatment results typically last 6-12 months.

So, maybe a $39 tube of Kiehl's Double Strength Deep Wrinkle Filler is a good little beauty treatment to try. And it's easy. It's just like a primer, in that it acts like spackle---smoothing over rough edges to create an even, clean surface. And it dries in less than 30 seconds.

And Kiehl's DOES contain the precious Hyaluronic Acid in a fragmented form of sodium hyaluronate "filling spheres". You are getting a better skin texture that improves over time. And your fine lines and wrinkles look softer with each 'dose' of the Kiehl's wrinkle filler.

If anything, this stuff is a super base for makeup. And you don't have to feel the ouch of the needle.

Dr. Scholl's Foldable Fast Flats Perfect When 6-Inch Heels Give Out

If you've been to Bergdorf Goodman's heaven-on-earth Shoe Salon lately, then you know that sky-high heels are here to stay.....5-inch and 6-inch heels are hotter than ever. Just ask celebrity cutie Kelly Ripa who teeters on sexy, 6-inch stilettos almost daily on 'Regis and Kelly.'

Sure, the higher the heel, the slimmer and taller you appear. Your legs look dynamite, and even your posture and the way you walk all improve.

But there comes a time when your feet just can't take it anymore, at least for the day. And that's where a pair of comfy flats really soothes your aching feet.

We picked up a pair of Dr. Scholl's 'For Her Fast Flats' at the drugstore last summer, when they first appeared on store shelves. For about $10, you get these cute black ballet, foldable flats that come in a zippered, gold wristlet that you can pop into your purse. And when your toes are screaming for mercy, you just pop them on.

The fast flats are not the most glam thing you'll ever slip into, but they are stretchy and comfortable, and can go the distance when your sky-high stilettos cannot.

Hey, it's always wise to be prepared and these little foldable fast flats travel nicely and can always be used in a flash.

Chin Implants Can Make A Big Difference In Facial Balance: Did She Or Didn't She?

There's been lots of chatter about celebrity chin implants, ever since reality star Bristol Palin showed up at a red carpet event with a new, sleek, sculpted chin. The daughter of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has recently admitted, that she, in fact, had surgery, but not the plastic kind.

Bristol Palin says she had jaw surgeryto repair misalignment with her teeth. Read yesterday's BeautyTipToday article below, for the complete story.

Plastic surgery experts are also putting in their two cents, and claim the pretty, 20-year-old mom of 2-year-old Tripp had cosmetic work done, including a chin implant.

So, let's look at this popular procedure that is actually a simple and safe surgery, and can really make a difference in facial balance. Chelsea Clinton appears to have also had chin implant surgery a few years ago. But we cannot confirm or prove this. But we will say, that both Chelsea and Britsol look great with their 'alleged' chin implants.

We did a little research and found an expert, Dr. David Mabrie in San Francisco. We learned that chin implant surgery takes place in a hospital setting, and takes between 1 hour and 1 1/2 hours to do.

After deciding by computer imaging what size implant to use to bring better harmony to one's facial features, the process is straightforward:

"Dr. Mabrie performs chin augmentation with a small incision under the chin instead of using an incision inside the mouth because it decreases the risk of infection. The implant is placed and secured with a few stitches."

And he outlines the recovery process below:

Chin Augmentation Recovery.
Bandages: 2-4 days
Suture Removal: 5-7 days
Restaurant Ready*: 7-10 days
75%: 3-4 weeks
100%: 2-3 months
(*Restaurant ready means you are ready to debut the new you!)

Keep Your (New)Chin Up, Bristol: You Look Amazing

Okay....if you haven't heard about or seen the new Bristol Palin, watch out! We're not sure you'd even recognize her right away.

Ever since the reality star and daughter to former Gov. Sarah Palin stepped out recently at a red carpet event, tongues began wagging, and haven't stopped since. There was talk about Bristol dropping a significant amount of weight, and getting a darker, new hair color with most likely, hair extensions. But it was much more than that.

It was her sculpted chin. Gone was the pretty, round-faced, full-cheeked gal, and here arrived a more glamorous, well-defined set of features on a mature young woman.

So, come to find out....it WAS more than a makeup,hair color make-over. Bristol Palin admits, it was surgery. And experts are claiming it was plastic surgery:

"I had corrective jaw surgery," Palin told Us Weekly. "Yes, it improved the way I look, but this surgery was necessary for medical reasons ... so my jaw and my teeth could properly realign ... I don't obsess over my face."

Bristol is only 20-years-old. Should that make a difference? And exactly what does corrective jaw surgerymean? Did she really have a chin implant, a nose job, brow lift, or mini facelift, too?

Who's to say. Bristol Palin will be starring in her own forthcoming reality show alongside her Dancing with the Stars friend, Kyle Massey on the Bio channel. And 2-year-old son, Tripp will also share the TV spotlight.

The question begs-----Was Bristol Palin advised to drop lbs. and get some plastic surgery BEFORE getting her new reality show? Or did she, herself, feel the pressure that so many young women like Bristol feel, in measuring up to Hollywood standards?

We think Bristol Palin was pretty BEFORE the surgery. But we also think she looks amazing AFTER the surgery. And if her round face and chubby cheeks really bothered her before, then we can understand her desire for a self-esteem boost.

How To Get High Rosy Celebrity Cheekbones With Rose de Rose Highlighter

Ladies....are you envious of those high, seemingly perfect cheekbones with the seemingly perfect blushing glow on celebrity after celebrity? Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt, Kim Kardashian, Kate Bosworth, Penelope Cruz......

Sure, most Hollywood beauties invest in an incredible makeup artist, but there are tricks and technqiues that you can follow, too, for that red carpet luminosity.

So, let's take a look at one, little beauty product that might cost a bit more than the rest, but that promises to give you a flush, like no other.

We are talking about a highlighter from makeup 'By Terry.' The artist, Terry de Gunzberg, once worked for Yves St. Laurent in makeup design. And what we adore about her cosmetics line is the concept of bringing out the luminosity of the skin. That's where her 'magic' highlighter comes into play. The product that will give you those rosy, plump cheeks is called, By Terry Rose de Rose Sheer Liquid Highlighter ($54, at barneys.com. It's available in Amber Rose, Fresh, and Coral.

The texture of this liquid highlighter is amazing. It's a micro-gel formula that smooths your complexion and adds a wonderful luminous flush.

Simply, apply the rosy highlighter to cheekbones, and then add your own blush to the apples of your cheeks. And you WILL see a captivating warmth and definition to your bone structure.

It isn't always easy trying to imitate the brilliant work of a professional makeup artist, but when it comes to blush, that is one beauty product that adds instant warmth and depth to the face, even when you are keeping your makeup to the minimum.

Don't be afraid of putting on highlighter/blush. Every woman looks lovely wearing some.

Beauty Tip Today: Lovely Lace Cami----2 for Just $12!

Here's our Beauty Tip Today 'Deal of the Day'------a lovely lace cami, just $7.80 for one, or 2 for just $12!

We found these comfy cotton/spandex, lace-edged camisoles from Wet Seal in a rainbow of pretty colors, along in some neutral shades, too.

A cotton camisole is a beautiful basic and you should have a few in your wardobe.

Why?

That's easy. It's a super, layering piece. You can wear it under a blazer, under a sweater, as a top alone, or even to sleep in. And anything with lace is really hot this season, and adds a bit of femininity to your style. More importantly....you CAN'T beat this price. We paid close to $40 a few months ago, for a lace-trimmed cami, and it wasn't half as cute as Wet Seal's.

We like these Big Lace Camis from Wet Seal, because they aren't too short, but actually fit like a tunic and cover the butt. The camis also come with adjustable straps and measure 30" from shoulder to hemline. Length may vary by size.

Check them out here.

Just a reminder----Wet Seal runs in junior sizes. But these cute, lace camis come in S, M, L, and XL. So be sure to go up a size if you wear a Misses.
