Arrest Warrant Out: Kelly Osbourne Makes Major Fashion Faux Pas!

We happen to adore rock legend Ozzie's vivacious daughter + fashion critic, Kelly Osbourne.

We think she knows plenty about good taste + style....BUT------


When you live your life in the public and you have lots to say about how others dress + appear on the red carpet, then you, too, become fair game.

And yes...we are a fan of E!'s Fashion Police show. And we are a REAL Joan ranger, as our first name would apply.

But we must give you a fashion fail, Kelly. What you're wearing is a major faux pas!

And it hurts us to hit back, but, we know you can take it.

No, nothing wrong about running errands in clean sweat pants, tee + hoodie.

But the lilac locks (+ garish bold lips) are not pretty. It's been over-played. Time to put the Crayola crayon hair away!

The up-do looks very old-lady, and Miss Kelly, you are a young, cute 29-year-old woman.

Why age yourself some 20 years?

Some claim you are under contract to keep your lilac locks?

Under contract to whom?! And why ?!

This is just a ridiculous look and time for a Kelly Osbourne make-over. Now!!

If you LOVE Kelly Osbourne's signature lilac mane, because there are a number of women who really do, you can rock your own purple. We found plenty purple hair extensions right here.

The X Factor's Nicole Scherzinger Swears By This Bliss Beauty Product

Nicole Scherzinger.
It's hard to find any flaws or even a tiny pimple on this Hawaiian goddess. Her skin looks flawless to us.

But she swears by this Bliss Beauty Product for prettier, more relaxed-looking eyes:

"....And I really like the Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energising Eye Masks, they're really tingly and I use them every other day. "

At $54 for a single treatment, that is NOT cheap. And if our eyes can look like her eyes after a little Bliss Oxygen, well, heck---this could be one super beauty trick.

So, let's see what's in it, that makes Nicole use it several times a week.


These beauty oxygenators refresh the eyes:
 antioxidant vitamin C
and puff-pummeling cucumber extract
 will brighten, de-puff, + hydrate eyes in 15 minutes flat.

Nicole Scherzinger also lists a bunch of other beauty must-have products to the British Daily Mail. Read all about it here.

Would you shell out $54 EVERY other day for skin care eye treatments?

Santa?

We need your help.

Ladies, Makeup Is Your Friend As Cameron Diaz Bravely Shows The World

Okay, we realize that Cameron Diaz posed with a very naked face in her new book to empower young women around the world to embrace their uniqueness, and to stop worrying about their looks and weight.






But, we also find a lesson in her brave, no makeup face:

Ladies---makeup is also your friend. There is nothing bad about putting a little on.

That's what we have learned. No, the pretty actress looks okay without a trace of cosmetics. But, we think she is much more attractive wearing makeup.

We think Cameron somehow looks OLDER than her 41 years without makeup on.

As a gal who grew up by those beautiful California beachesCameron has taken in a lot of sun, and yeah, it shows. But she is also a woman with stunning features and a slender, leggy body.

The star posted the bare-faced photo to her Instagram account Wednesday (Dec. 11). There she is smiling + hugging a copy of the book

"One of my proudest moments! Receiving the first bound copy of The Body Book!! @thebodybook LADIES!! I wrote this book for YOU and YOUR BODY.. And I'm so excited to share it with you!! You can pre-order it now. #loveyouramazingbody," she wrote.

So, how do we REVERSE sun damage?

Most of us have done tons of sun.

Skin experts advise doing exfoliation. You want to scrub away those dead skin cells. Try this one by Dr. Shultz:

Beauty Rx Daily Exfoliating Therapy Serum ($65). This is an excellent glycolic acid peeling serum designed to ---

Accelerate facial rejuvenation
  • Help prevent and control acne by unclogging pores and loosening comedones
  • Reduce the appearance of pore size
  • Remove brown spots
  • Diminish and soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with regular use

  • Meantime....The Body Book by Cameron Diaz would make a nice present for the holidays.

    You can find the book right here.

    Uh Huh, Honey! Can A Spoonful Of Honey Really Melt Away The Pounds?

    Honey. It sure is yummy. But what if we told you, that a spoonful of it, here and there throughout the course of the day could help you drop pounds. Would you believe us?

    Let's put it this way....Enjoying some honey couldn't hurt, anyway.

    People have been using honey for a lot of reasons since ancient timesGreeks back then, believed that honey could extend one's life. And in pre-ancient days, Egyptians use the sweet syrup topically to heal wounds.

    Modern science also shows us that honey also possesses  antiseptic and antibacterial properties.
    .
    But can honey melt away fat?

    Nutritionist Mike McInnes claims that by eating a spoonful of  honey before bed each night, you can drop up to three pounds a week.

    That's pretty amazing!

    "The Honey Diet", a new book authored by McInnes, also suggests throughout the day to substitute the natural sweetener for any other sugars consumed.
    .
    That means cooking with it, sweetening your coffee with it, and enjoying only treats made with it.

    You have to give up potatoes on the Honey Diet, along with eliminating refined carbs, and boosting your intake of proteins + veggies + fruits.

    Sounds pretty easy. The book is now available at amazon.

    Hey...you've got nothing to lose but 3 lbs. a week if this nutritionist is right. Plus---it tastes great!

    Uh-huh, honey...as Kim + Kanye would say....

    Can A Girl's Tummy Be Too Toned A La Kelly Bensimon?

    We are on the fence about this one.

    Working out is key. That is the only way to maintain a healthy, attractive physique. But is there a limit?

    In other words, can a girl's tummy be TOO toned, a la Kelly Bensimon, the former NY housewives reality star?!

    We're not sure that 45-year-old Kelly's abs look that appealing. We think her legs + arms are buff, but her mid-section appears very tight + thick. Some think Kelly's abs are TOO shredded.

    On the other hand, this girl is actually 45-years-old. So she's in superb physical shape.

    And it takes tons of discipline + hard work to achieve such a rock-hard body.

    We think she would look softer + a bit more feminine with a rounder tummy. But if a super washboard were her goal, then she has surely hit her mark.

    If you're looking to tone up your abs, we found a great, fun work-out on YouTube. Check out Ab Blaster Workout: Obliques - GetFitWithLeyla.

    And DON'T worry. These exercises are pretty tame next to what Kelly Bensimon must be doing.

    Forget Plastic Surgery: So Many Gorgeous, Beauty Options Available

    Choice.

    We all love being able to choose, and when it comes to staying pretty, times have changed in a great way. Plastic surgery is still going to be around, but maintenance is the key.

    There are so many beauty options today. These procedures are non-invasive, quick to show natural-looking results, and can actually slow-www down the aging process. Plus, there isn't much downtime if any. Maintenance is all about a gentler approach.

    Younger-looking skin. Who wouldn't want that? A facelift will tighten, but it can also look artificial or too pulled back, and so on. An expert in aesthetic skin care can fix those areas that a surgical facelift cannot.

    If you have trouble spots, and we all get them sooner or later, injectables like Botox and fillers can come to the rescue. As long as these injectables are done conservatively and artistically, your face will appear younger, more rested and more radiant.

    Maybe too much sun exposure has left you with a bunch of creases. Don't worry, Botox is like a beauty iron, so that wrinkles and frown lines around the eyes and forehead are temporarily smoothed away for 3-4 months.

    Possibly a little sagging and/or lost volume are bothering you. You don't have to submit to the scalpel. More and more fillers are being introduced, so the beauty science can restore the buoyancy or fullness to the face

    Fillers like Juvederm, Restylane and Radiesse, are just three of the most popular volumizers that can go deep to plump up the face, or just neatly fill in the nasolabial folds or marionette lines.

    Another super option involves chemical solutions applied to the skin, which cause the outer layer to peel away. Chemical Peels Newport Beach are excellent treatments that can achieve a healthier, youthful, glowing complexion. Peels can reduce brown pigmentation, even up skin tone, unclog pores and nicely improve skin clarity.

    There are also a variety of laser procedures that can perfect the texture of your skin by deeply penetrating the skin's layers to remove sun-damaged skin. Fractional lasers, for instance, can amazingly reduce chicken pox scars and minimize deep acne scars.

    So before you sign on the dotted line for costly plastic surgery, do your homework, and you will discover that non-invasive beauty options do exist.

    Maintenance is the modern way to remain rejuvenated.

    Want A VS Angel Body Like Adriana Lima? Then Get A Jump Rope!

    We always thought that sexy bodies like VS angel Adriana Lima's was 99% pure genetics + good luck.'

    But we must admit---that girl works her behind off in a grueling fast-moving session.

    So if you want a VS angel body, then get a jump rope, NOW!

    Of course, it helps if you have a super trainer by your side. In Adriana's case it is Michael Olajide, Jr. She's worked with him for 6 years now, and it REALLY shows.

    "With two little girls, it can be tough to find time to go to the gym," Adriana
     told Self magazine. "Jumping rope is something I can easily do at home -- I try and squeeze it in during my daughters' naptime!"

    Good for her. Jumping rope isn't just for kids. It's actually an excellent cardio movement for adults, for 3 reasons:

    1. A super fat burner
    2. Firms your legs nicely
    3. An overall body exercise


    We also love jumping rope because it's not that hard to do. You don't need much equipment. You can also do the exercise privately. Or you can jump rope with the family. Everyone can have fun and participate. You can jump rope indoors and outdoors.




    Here's Adriana's work-out. And yeah....she REALLY is doing all the hard work!

    Check her out here!

    Don't forget---the 2013 Victoria Secret's Fashion Show will be on CBS, next Tuesday, 10PM.

    Kate Middleton Wows In $35 Sparkly Crystal Bead Necklace At Mandela Premiere

    You've got to hand it to Kate Middleton. She's a smart, savvy, modern-day princess, or (duchess, to be exact).

    We caught a quick glimpse of her lovely ensemble at the UK red carpet movie premiere of Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom last evening.

    Kate + William were unaware that the beloved + iconic leader had just passed away.

    Kate looked royally great in a long-sleeved ivory Roland Mouret gown. But what truly caught our eye, was her FAB- less than $36 necklace from Zara. It sells for $35.90, to be exact.

    We went to the Zara website, found the striking collar necklace, and tried to add one to our shopping bag. Unfortunately, we believe the Kate necklace is already SOLD OUT!

    Maybe you could try later. If Zara is smart, the company will quickly re-stock for the holiday season.


    Let's face it---this cheap necklace looks like it came from the Queen's private collection.

    Makes for a wonderful stocking stuffer! If you can find one.

    Big-Busted VS Models? More Like Great, Padded Bras

    We were talking with a friend yesterday, who remarked how BIG-busted all the VS models are.

    BIG-busted?

    Are you crazy, we asked?!

    Those are just great, padded bras they wear. And to prove it, we have the AFTER shots from the recent 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

    And as you can see, these amazing, gorgeous models are very slender with barely what you would call, big boobs.

    We think these VS angels look as stunning without the major padding.
    By the way, the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will be televised next Tuesday, December 10th, 10PM on CBS.

    We know your partner will most likely be tuning in.

    Here are a few pics(below) from the 2013 VS Fashion Show.

    And check out how BIG their bosoms have 'instantly grown' for the runway:
    The beauty lesson here?

    NEVER underestimate the value of a well-fitting, push-up bra.

    Supermodel Cookies For Christmas? Iman Gives Them To Friends

    From one supermodel to another, perhaps?

    Where have we been?

    We've just heard about Karlie's Kookies. Yes....supermodel Karlie Kloss has her own line of yummy cookies, and they're vegan-friendly, too.

    The interesting aspect of this---supermodel Iman LOVES giving out Karlie's Kookies to friends for the holidays.

    So let's take a peek:

    Karlie's Kookies are very healthy for you. Just check out the ingredients:

    almond flour
    oats
    dark chocolate chips
    agave, and olive oil


    Iman tells Harper's Bazaar, that Karlie's Kookies make for excellent holiday gifts.

    Okay....these delicious snacks are NOT cheap.

    A gift tin of 6 cookies
    will set you back $22.

    BUT-----there is a good reason to buy these yummy tins of Karlie's Kookies, because "a portion of the proceeds for each tin of kookies is donated to feed, to help provide nutritious meals to those in need."

    Now, if we get on the Karlie Kloss Kookie diet, can we have her supermodel body?

    Can Full, Bold Brows Ever Be Too Much Of A Good Thing? Yes, Sofia Vergara!

    Okay. We don't want to sound snarky here. Yes, Sofia Vergara is gorgeous, curvy + sexy!

    But today, we are talking about brows-----and brows that are too full + bold. Is there such a thing?!

    Well, yes.

    We thought we were the only one that dislikes the talented Latina beauty's brows.

    In our humble opinion, Sofia's brows are TOO much of a good thing. And a lot of women feel the same way, because we have read plenty of comments about her eyebrows.

    There---we got it off our, er, small chest.

    So, aren't full, healthy eyebrows flattering? Yes! But when the brows are TOO thick, then it's REALLY alright to do a little grooming.

    Here is a recent photo of the Colombian bombshell with super full, bold brows.

    Now here are pics of Sofia as a dark brunette several years ago.

    Look at her brows--full, but not overly thick.

    Okay, the breasts kind of draw attention away from the face, but you get what we mean.

    If you need a little plucking, try a Tweezerman Brow Grooming Kit. But tweeze conservatively!

    How To Get A Super Toned Butt Like Jada Pinkett Smith

    We're jealous.

    We just saw a photo of 42-year-old Jada Pinkett Smith enjoying a little sun + surf in gorgeous Hawaii.

    We were all talking about the actress' bizarre side-cut hairstyle a few weeks ago. But what we should really be chatting about is Jada's amazing butt.
    Oh, yeah. The proud mom-of-two was parading her great figure in a couple of sexy bikinis. And she has a super toned butt. Period.

    So, we all know it isn't easy maintaining a fine behind after age 30, but we can all 'build' a better butt with some exercise discipline that targets the caboose.

    Andie Hecker, a former New York City ballerina-turned Hollywood trainer, has this exercise for a toned booty:
    The Butt Blaster
    Stand with your torso upright, hands resting on a countertop or chair back. Lift one leg behind you as high as you can, while keeping your hips square to the front, and pulse up 50 times.

    Not easy to do, but, er butt, this little exercise will do wonders in no time.

    For more information, visit BalletBodies.

    Kate Looks Great With Fave, Cheap Drugstore, Brown Eyeshadow Quad

    Most people admire blonde beauty Kate Upton for her sexy model curves.

    But did you ever notice her pretty eyes?
    Let's be honest, models have access to some of the most expensive + amazing cosmetics around.

    But would you believe that the all-American beauty has been wearing the SAME brown eye shadow quad for almost 10 years now?!

    OK magazine says that Kate has been addicted to ColorStay's Decadent 16-Hour Eye Shadow Quad since junior high.

    "I always use Revlon eye shadow," the model says. "It's a brown 4-square palette compact that I've been using since the seventh grade."


    We found Kate's great quad for just $7.99 at CVS.

    As Cindy Crawford, another supermodel once suggested--- BROWN is your best makeup friend:

    "It's less harsh than black, it goes with everything, and it's impossible to mess up. For day, I do variations of brown shadow, either matte or shimmer," Cindy said.

    Then brown eye shadow is a no-brainer, ladies.

    Grey Skinny Jeans Are The Hot Trend: Gisele + Kim Know

    Skinny jeans are here to stay. And grey is the HOT trend.

    Just watch celebrities like Gisele Bundchen + Kim Kardashian. They have been photographed a number of times in the classic neutral.

    Gotta LOVE a grey rinse! You can go light like Kim's or charcoal grey like Gisele's.

    Plus, putting on grey sets a different look than every day blue denim.

    We think grey skinny jeans give off an edgy style. And apparently both Sarah Jessica Parker + Nicky Hilton agree.


     
     

    You can easily copy the celebrity grey skinny jeans look, and on the cheap, too.

    Look at the pair we found at the 15DollarStore.

    Yeah....$15 for VELVET HEART Grey Faded Whiskered Stretch Skinny Jeans. These retail for $118!

    These are HOT in a light, grey wash--just like Kim K's pair.

    Will you go grey this winter?

    Need A Better Facial Cleanser? Try Rice --It's Nice!

    What would rice and all its starch have to do with softer, healthier skin?

    Plenty!

    According to the Juara skin care company, rice can do this for you:

    "Rice starch, known for its soothing and softening properties, helps prevent moisture loss by enhancing the skin's protective barrier. Also rich in amino acids and proteins naturally found in rice.".

    Juara makes a wonderful Rice Facial Cleanser for $25. It's a gentle foaming cleanser that can swiftly rinse away stale makeup + debris, while at the same time, help skin LOCK IN moisture. Plus, it's great for ALL skin types.

    Rice water rinses have been around for a very long time in Asia. For centuries,  women there have been using rice water for healthy, glowing skin and hair.
