Going Bananas Over OPI's Black Spotted Polish!!

You CANNOT get this in stores here in the United States, BUT you CAN get a bottle on Ebay, if you willing to shell out big bucks for the summer's hottest mani around:

OPI Black Spotted ($ 8.50, but ONLY available in France through Sephora stores as part of a limited-edition Spiderman collection).

A small bottle of Black Spotted sold on Ebay for $51, plus $20 shipping from France, for a whopping total of $71!!

We have to admit, there is something quite exotic about the French exclusive, Black Spotted.

So, how do you paint on this newest nail trend?

It's simple. "Apply a thin coat over completly dry lacquer. Finish with top coat."

Some fans say the unique nail polish looks like oil on water when it is dry. There's something almost surreal-like about Black Spotted.

What do you think, Ladies?

Would you do a mani or pedi with this hot summer nail trend?

Facelift Bungee: Temporary Way To Look 10 Years Younger?

Okay, we didn't see this one coming. But we are fascinated, to say the least.

We're not going to diss Facelift Bungee, because the temporary, do it-yourself facelift at just $24.99, has quite a lot of fans, but really now!

We saw a segment on GMA this morning. And we were speechless with all the steps involved to 'attach' this youthful apparatus by braiding 2 small, tight plaits above your ears. Then you take the little bungee cord and wrap it around the back of the head and hide it under the hair, to the braids with 2 small combs.

Ladies, wouldn't it be a bit simpler to either have a mini facelift done, or to go in for some cosmetic filler to lift and add volume to an aging face?

Sure, any cosmetic surgery or non-invasive treatments are not cheap, but certainly worth the investment.

A woman named Kimberly Aschauer invented the Facelift Bungee, and there's no doubt, she's one smart cookie, as they say. And the BEFORE and AFTER photos look pretty convincing.

So, is the Facelift Bungee okay to use daily?

According to the website, yes:
"Facelift Bungee has medical data proving no hair loss or headaches have occurred."

Check out the Bungee Facelift here on YouTube.

If we can add our own 2 cents, beauty science has made some incredible advances and developed some super surgical techniques and intelligent ways to fill a face, or erase aging sun damage, and so on.

Mama Sharon And Kelly Osbourne Love This Spa Exfoliating Scrub

Mama Osbourne and Kelly seem to be addicted to this wonderful spa scrub, that you can now find at your local Target store.

It's called Champney's Exotic Retreat Body Glow ($11.99, at Target, but not at Target online).

The co-host of Fashion Police told People magazine about this luxurious spa scrub:

"In England, Champneys is where the rich and famous go for a spa weekend. Whenever my mom used to go, I would steal all of her products from her. I love this exfoliator; it literally makes you feel like you're rubbing yourself in gold," Kelly says.

We think the $11.99 price for a little jar of Champney's Exotic Retreat Body Glow is decent, because you are getting 7 oz..

And both Mama Sharon and Kelly appear to have nice peaches and cream skin, so we would try this beauty product next time we're hanging out at Target.

Move Over Skinny Girl Bethenny: There's Another Housewife in the Beverage Business

If you've always despised NJ Housewife reality star Teresa, you might dislike her even more.

Teresa and her hubby Joe, have officially launched their own alcoholic concept of a 'Skinny Girl' beverage. Watch out, 'Skinny Girl' genius, Bethenny Frankel! Teresa might act like a fool, but this lady's as sly as a fox.

Say hello to Fabellini! Watch the NJ Housewives this Sunday on the Bravo network, and you'll see the Giudices journey to a vineyard to gain knowledge on their Bellinis. And Teresa will take a dig at Bethenny's Skinny Girl super-successful brand:

'My thing is I don't like anything that tastes diet-y,' the mom-of-four adds with sarcasm. 'For instance, Skinnygirl tastes diet-y. I don't like that.'

Ouch!

'My Fabellini is a proprietary mix my husband and I came up with: a gold medal champagne with natural peach puree,' Teresa explains. 'And it's 12 percent alcohol, so you'll enjoy it!'

Plus, the Fabellini is good for the dieter----'low calorie--less than 1/2 the calories of other "skinny" drinks.'

Hey, Teresa Giudice did surprisingly well on Donald Trump's 'The Apprentice.' And this once bankrupt beauty has learned from the best, 'To strike while the iron is hot.'

And if there's one reality star who knows how to heat up and burn a lot of things and a lot of bridges, it's Teresa.

Stay tuned.

Country Music's Kellie Pickler Won't Leave Home Without 2 Beauty Products

Country cutie Kellie Pickler says she doesn't like to pile on gobs of makeup, but she DOES wear lip gloss and mascara every day.

Her fave lash lengthener at the moment is Lancome's Definicils High Definition Mascara ($26, at neimanmarcus). Kellie tells OK! magazine she is a mascara addict. Well, who isn't? We certainly are, guilty as charged.

Kellie's other must-have beauty product is Tinted Lipglass in C-Thru by MAC ($14.50, at MAC). Forgive us, but this does look almost like a concealer in the MAC photo. But, Kellie says it's a versatile shade:

"It's a great gloss that goes with just about everything." And MAC describes it as a peachy beige with shimmer. And we believe Kellie is wearing C-Thru in the photo. And it looks like a very pretty nude lip shade.

Lancome makes some amazing mascara, and we know it isn't the cheapest beauty purchase, but it's really good stuff.

As far as lip gloss goes, Kellie's nude is not for everyone. In other words, you have to try a few nude shades out, before finding the perfect neutral for your smile and skin tone. But when you do ace the right nude lip, the overall beauty look is effortless and natural. And we think Kellie Pickler looks gorgeous here.

J & J Baby Oil Body Wash Ain't Just For Babies!

It is just us, or do baby beauty products have lovely scents and wonderful moisturizing properties?

Don't laugh, but we adore baby beauty products, because we know they are made with extra tender loving care and are designed to be protective to our little ones' bottoms, faces and overall skin.

We happen to love Johnson & Johnson Baby Oil Body Wash ($4.09, at Target).

Frankly, it just smells clean and fresh with a hint of baby oil. And talk about hydrating. It leaves our skin as soft as a baby's behind....well, almost.

We have spent a boatload of money on all kinds of body washes for the shower/and/or/bath, and some have been quite expensive, without really providing much moisture or even lather.

Johnson& Johnson Baby Oil Body Wash has a nice, creamy texture and is very gentle to the skin. And it comes in a 13.2 oz. bottle, so you're getting a good amount for the price.

We also like J & J's Baby Cream ($.29, at drugstores). It's perfect for using AFTER the bath.

Have you ever dipped into the baby beauty products?
