Plastic Experts Cry "Nose Job": Claim Little Kendall Got Smaller Nose Like Kim

We certainly did not see this one coming!

But it's ALL over the entertainment + tabloid news---that 18-year-old Kendall Jenner has gone and splurged on a smaller nose like big sister Kim Kardashian.

Kendall's new nose?

Hmmm. We're not so sure about that.

At age 18, we still consider Kendall a child in some ways, and for the media to begin picking on this young, sweet girl is criminal.

Maybe Kendall Jenner did indeed get a subtle nose job, and if so, it's REALLY nobody's business.

If she had a big nose that bothered her, we could see her wanting to fix it, to fit in, so to speak.

Kendall's old nose?

In Kendall's case, she had a small, adorable nose to begin with, so we would be puzzled as to why she would desire such a change.

True, she is trying to jump-start a modeling career, but if the agencies don't catapult you to stardom fast, it probably won't happen, even with a tinier nose and references by some, that you're the next Ali McGraw.

In our humble opinion, we do NOT believe Kendall has gotten a nose job.

But the plastic experts believe otherwise.

Here's one opinion from a leading consultant plastic surgeon Miles Berry of Cosmetic Surgery Partners in London. 

He said this to the MailOnline:

"The bridge of her nose looks a little more crooked in earlier photo and this could certainly have been smoothed surgical The tip could well be smaller and rather more refined, again pointing to possible surgery."

 Well, that's enough on the subject. Who really 'nose?'

Style Icon Kate Moss Dolls Up In Leopard Coat: Copy Her Look For Less!

Happy 40th birthday, Kate Moss!!

This is how the style icon got ready for her birthday bash in London yesterday. The famous model loves her leopard coat, as do we! She seems to wear this one just about everywhere!

The model whose effortless chic is copied around the world likes to pair her animal print with black and her handbags with a pop of elegant color. See the pale pink Chanel clutch and the banana yellow clutch.

Leopard print also looks lovely with a number of shades like red and white, nude, and so on.

Leopard print is a CLASSIC. It's NEVER out of style. So it would make for a smart buy.

But we also believe in a good buy, too.

COPY Kate Moss' look for less!!

We found a Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply Leopard Print Pea Coat, now on SALE for $109.99.

And the Asos See U Soon Leopard Print Coat, also on SALE for $111.11.

Both great deals and pretty, leopard coats, a la Kate Moss.

How To Get Gabrielle Union's Glam Wavy Hair With Just Two Items

Everybody adores actress Gabrielle Union. Not only does she look much younger than 41, but she also exudes this friendly beauty.

And we LOVE Gabrielle's glamorous, wavy hair!!

What if we told you, you could achieve a similar sexy hairstyle with just 2 items?

Gabrielle's stylist Larry Sims tells InStyle magazine how to get it done.

1.  Invest in a 1 1/4-inch curling iron. We found this one at hairenvy.com. It's the 1 1/4-inch Professional Gold Spring curling iron ($39.50) with a 24K gold-plated barrel.

2. Pick up a can of volumizing hairspray. Try Got2b 2 Sexy Voluptuous Volume hairspray ($6.79, at Walmart).

 Begin wrapping small sections of hair around the 1 1/4-inch curling iron. 
After unwinding each piece, form a pin curl and clip it to your head. 
Allow to cool before releasing the curls, and then brush through strands. 

Also, to get that va-va-va-voom volume:
...."Use a wide-tooth comb to lightly tease hair from the tips to midway up strands," Larry suggests.
Then carefully run the comb over the surface to smooth out any frizz. Them finish by locking in the style with volumizing hairspray.

Same JLo, Same Girl: Video Debuts On American Idol Wednesday Night

JLo just wants you to know, she's the same girl---same Jenny....from the block.

The biggest Latina star has been teasing her fans about her new video, "Same Girl," ready to drop tomorrow night on the new season of American Idol on Fox.

In her new single, Jennifer Lopez sings about remembering where she came from:

"I'm tired of trying to make you see I'm still me, and I'm the same Jenny from around the way."

The only thing missing from "Same Girl" is handsome Ben Affleck. He was great, eye candy in the 2002 video, "Jenny from the Block." Those were beautiful times for Miss JLo.

 Still, we LOVE JLo's hip-hop style. She wears it so well! Right down to her signature BIG, gold hoops:

Real gold BIG hoop earrings will cost you a lot, but we buy ours CHEAP + faux gold on Ebay right here for $15.97 + FREE shipping.

If you want to COPY JLo's style, then choose at least a 3-inch hoop. Hers look maybe even 3.5 - 4 inch hoops.

We say Go big, or go home!

Playing Around With Retin-A, AHA, BHA Formulas: Requires A Great Facial Sunscreen

If there's anything we've learned about skin care, and trying to re-model a damaged complexion, it's that you NEED a great facial sunscreen.

We've all used good suncreens for the body, but more importantly, how about the face?

For instance, we use Retin-A at night BEFORE bedtime. Most experts advise applying the anti-aging cream at night because it is light-sensitive.

 Here's the problem: We adore a strong glycolic facial cleanser. We like to use it AM + PM. But we have since become educated about NOT mixing the two formulations together.

So, if we are about to apply Retin-A at night, then we do NOT wash our face with the alpha hydroxy acid(AHA) in the evening. We use a simple soap.

 Why? These are both strong chemicals, and could CANCEL each other out.

 Okay...now that we have that straight....Why do we need a facial sunscreen?

 Because when you apply potent anti-aging products like Retin-A, Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Vitamin C cream or Beta Hydroxy Acids, your skin, although being nicely repaired, is now more sensitive and super exfoliated, so the sun's rays can penetrate more easier and cause damage, again.

 Here's an excellent facial sunscreen fairly new to the beauty market: Suntegrity ($45).

"Natural, broad-spectrum mineral zinc oxide protection that feels and looks so good on your skin that you'll want to wear it 24/7."

Tinting Selection: Choose Fair for very fair complexions, Light for fair to medium complexions, or Medium for medium to darker complexions.

To learn lots of great skin care tips on how to juggle anti-aging products, check out this informative website by Dr. Cynthia Bailey.

Model Miranda Kerr Proves Cheap Drugstore Red Lipstick Can Be Perfect!

We all like to imagine that wealthy women such as models, actresses, public figures, etc., ONLY buy expensive makeup + skin care products.

Right?

Wrong!

Most famous women won't talk about their penny-pinching habits but there are some celebs who are more than happy to share. And when one of them DOES dish, we are all ears.

 For instance, we were reading a past issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine and came across this beauty tidbit from Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr. As you can see from the photos below, the glamorous beauty LOVES her signature, bold red lips.

This is what the VS angel told Emily Listfield at Beauty Bazaar:

"Recently I found the ideal lip stain in Top Tomato ($10.99). It stays on forever," Miranda says.

If you would like to copy Miranda Kerr's signature red lipstick beauty tip, we found some at ULTA.

Golden Globes Host Tina Fey Has Amazing Hair---But So Funny You Don't Always Notice

Tomorrow night Tina Fey + Amy Poehler return to host the Golden Globes LIVE at 8  PM, ET on NBC.

These 2, very funny + attractive ladies are delightful to watch.

Lately, we've been zeroing in on Tina Fey. She has started to become a fashion plate after several mishaps on the unforgiving red carpet.

According to an item in the NY Times, Tina has been working with Cristina Ehrlich, who also styles Amy Adams and Allison Williams. Good move on Tina's part.

Now let's look at her closely....

Girlfriend has AMAZING hair! It's a crowning glory, for sure.  That's probably why Tina was tapped to do the Garnier Nutrisse hair color commercials.

Tina Fey has beautiful hair, but because she is so funny, you might NOT always notice.

In case you were wondering, this is the shade Tina uses in those Garnier Nutrisse ads

Nutrisse Haircolor - 535 Chocolate Caramel (Medium Golden Mahogany Brown)...$8.49, at CVS.

Jennifer Lopez Spells It Out In Comfy 'I Am Happiness' Tracksuit

We get it, Jennifer.
You ARE really happy these days.
And we can see why.

The superstar is back on American Idol for 2014 after reportedly signing a whopping $15 million contract to sit her sexy bottom down in the judge's chair on the reality TV singing competition for another season.

Is anyone REALLY worth that kind of $$$?!

Of course NOT! But Jenny from the block is a savvy businesswomen, and a lot of people think Jennifer brings value to the judges' table----along with fab style + makeup.

Meantime...when she's off the red carpet, the Latina beauty dresses down + comfy.

Jenny from the block LOVES tracksuits or active-wear, if you will.

This time, photogs snapped the star heading to a meeting in L.A. yesterday, arm + arm with love, Casper Smart.

Check out Jennifer's adorable gray + yellow tracksuit from the PeaceLoveWorld company. 

JLo's comfortable ensemble shouts to the world---"I am HAPPY!"

I am HAPPINESS!".

Way to go, Jennifer!

It's a great message for 2014.

If you would like to check out the PEACELOVEWORLD tracksuits, click here.

We could NOT find JLo's specific ensemble, but we DID hunt down these I am HAPPY daisy yellow bottoms for $108. Very similar to Jennifer's.

We also found the cute hoodie, same one as Jennifer's here on SALE for $68!

 We can't help it. Not everybody can pull off a super casual look heading to a meeting, but Jennifer Lopez, you look fly!

Naughty Naya Rivera Copies Kim Kardashian's Black To Honey Blonde Hair For 2014

All we have to say is, Wow!"
 Take a look at the photos. A picture paints a thousand words, as the old saying goes.

Glee's Naya Rivera must really adore Kim Kardashian's honey blonde hair, because the latina beauty has just pulled a Kardashian.

The star showed it off at the annual People's Choice Awards Show last evening in L.A..

 The hair transformation is pretty amazing. When you think back to how raven-haired both women are naturally, well, you can see the major work that goes into a serious color change.

Naughty Naya. You've ripped off Kim K's new look!

But then again, you could say that Kim K ripped off the glam blonde mane from either Beyonce or Kim's gal-pal Larsa Pippin.

Look below, please:

Hey, lighter locks are BIG beauty news for 2014!! And stylists say that platinum is the bomb for the new year.

If you are fair-haired to begin with, lucky you, because going through a major color transformation can DAMAGE your tresses in a major way.

That is why wealthy women like the ones all pictured here, leave the peroxide mess to the pros.

Kim K's colorist George Papanikolas
revealed this to hollywoodlife.com.

"If you have dark hair, and you want Kim’s look, you will usually need to lighten your base color, and then get highlights, " George tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.

"It also usually requires several sessions to get it from dark to light. I never recommend doing it in one session. You get the best results over several months, and you need to factor in the financial and time commitments to maintain a lighter color."

We have naturally raven locks like Kim K + Naya, but we could NOT imagine having to go through a long + expensive process just to achieve that beautiful, blonde mane, month after month.

 Okay, ladies...

Would you lighten up your dark hair for 2014?

Amanda Seyfried Keeps Full Brows Looking Groomed With DIY Tweezerman

Amanda Seyfried is probably best known for her signature, wavy, long, blonde hair.

But did you know that she's also quite proud of her full brows, and won't let anyone else near them?

It's true. That's why the talented actress is a D.I.Y. plucker. In other words--- a do it yourself girl.

She relies on a trusted brand to help her define those great-looking eyebrows.

She tells InStyle magazine that she favors Tweezerman Slant Tweezers in the familiar, red color ($22, at drugstore.com).

"I groom my eyebrows every week. I'm afraid to let anyone else touch them because I like my brows thick, and someone else might end up giving me the shape they want them to be."

Tweezerman claims to be top-notch when it comes to grooming:

"Positively the finest general-use tweezer! Used by makeup artists, models and celebrities all over the world. The stainless-steel tips are hand-polished and perfectly aligned to grab hair every time."

Tomboy Tory Burch Launches Sheer Lipstick Collection For Less Is More Look

Designer Tory Burch makes beautiful clothing + accessories. We all know that. And now the princess of preppy has launched a lipstick line that promises--Less is more.

Tory claims she was quite the tomboy growing up. Today, she is so feminine, but NEVER over-the-top when it comes to putting on makeup. Maybe that is why Tory Burch lipstick is sheer + soft.

Tory says she's not into a very bold, bright lip, so you will enjoy the natural-looking wash of her new 12-lipstick collection.

The lipsticks will be available in mid-February at high-end stores like Nordstrom's.

The price of a Tory Burch tube isn't cheap. It will set you back $32. But then again, these lipsticks are made from good stuff.

The pretty, blonde designer is giving everyone a sneak peek at her lippy line. And we like what we see!

One of Tory's faves is the pinky-beige shade called Pas Du Tout Lip Color. You can check it out here.

Copy Miley In 2014! Get White Faux Fur + Rock It!

Miley Cyrus. Jennifer Lopez.

Hmmm.

What could they possibly have in common?

Both women are entertainers. And both like wearing white fur. Faux, we're hoping. In Miley's case, it's FAUX. In Jennifer's photo, not so sure.

Take a look, ladies. And you can COPY it for, a lot less, too!

There's the tongue-happy star rockin' New Year's Eve in a very BIG white fur coat with a belly-baring ensemble and bold red lips.

And there she is, again, in New York City in a white fur jacket.

Julia Roberts With Messy Side-Swept Bangs And Bun In Leopard Print Dress: Good Or Bad?

We LOVE movie icon Julia Roberts. BUT---We were NOT lovin' the look the glamazon hit the red carpet on at the Palm Springs International Film Festival last night.

It seems like all the style critics are giving the Osage County star BIG raves for her loose, leopard print shift and messy, side-swept bangs + bun. We know....Julia is fashion savvy at the comfortable, classic, chic ensemble, but this thing appears to be an expensive house coat.

Forgive us.

And don't even get us started on her hair. Julia Roberts has ALWAYS been envied for her auburn, healthy, shiny, long locks, but this look has failed in our humble opinion.

The trendy, messy bun is HOT this season, but hers only looks pretty from the back.

My, my. Now we sound like the ladies on E!s Fashion Police. Picky, picky, picky.

We're just sayin....NOT our fave look for the supremely talented actress. That's all.

Julia seems to be trying to channel Rene Russo's sexy, auburn hair in the Thomas Crown Affair movie.

But no one does sexy hair + sideswept bangs better than Rene Russo.

Julia should have tried a modern French twist like Rene rocked it in the 1999 flick:

So, what do you think? Is Juia Roberts' leopard print dress and messy bun a GOOD or BAD thing?

Exuviance DePuffing Eye Serum Could Help All Of Us---Even Celebs

Most women we know suffer from dark, under eye circles, puffiness or bags. And if you don't try and cover these unattractive eye areas, well, the common beauty problem looks even worse.

Look at a very recent photo of the always glamorous Kim Kardashian. She decided NOT to wear anything on her tired eyes. And, yeah, she DOES look tired.

Even with her lovey bone structure + perfect brows, Kim does not have her public game face on.

Of course, we could all benefit from under eye concealer + foundation. But the smart thing to do first, is attack tired eyes from beneath the surface.

An excellent choice is the Exuviance DePuffing Eye Serum( $70 at amazon.com).  The high potency complex of  citrus + peptides comes in a cool-looking triple-micro-roller pen that massages and tones the entire eye area, flattening bags, boosting circulation and brightening the delicate skin around the eye.

This stuff will allow you to look refreshed + rested, thanks to the company's patented NeoGlucosamine that helps to "provide a supportive cushion for collagen and elastin."

Big Butts--Fake Or Real: Hot Trend For 2014?

It appears that big butt selfies are everywhere these days, and now they're popping up, again, in 2014.

We ALL saw the post baby, look-at-me selfie of new mama Kim Kardashian back in October of 2013. The photo taken by herself caused a global reaction.

Forgive us......Here it is, once more:

We are certainly NOT here to judge. Kim's abundant booty might be a bit disproportional to some, but to others, it's a dream body.

But, is it real? Or is it fake?

We are NOT sure. It looks un-real. But before you decide--Take a peek at this 20-year-old New York City gal who is also taking selfie after selfie of her fit, rounded behind in 2014, and collecting 1.3 MILLION Instagram followers. One of her celebrity fans is none other than Rihanna.

Jen Selter REALLY works out, because she records many moments in the gym with tons of selfies. Plus, others are snapping her photos, too. By the way....We have NEVER seen Kim Kardashian doing squats, but this gal, Jen does them:

And she appears to engage in a tough work-out routine.

So, here we go, again. Jen, like Kim K, also has her critics. She, too, is accused of having a FAKE booty.

Jen claims that her now famous butt just got bigger when she started working out at the gym.

At 20, most butts look amazing. The only thing that had our ears perk up, was this little fact:

Jen once worked part-time at a plastic surgeon's office.

No. That doesn't mean anything, but we put it out there.

If you would like to develop a gorgeous, round butt like Jen Selter's, then check out the Instagram star right here at the gym. And this one, too--here.

Erase Your Big Pores Instantly In 2014!! Well, Sort Of...

If we could, we would ERASE our big pores on our oily face for 2014!

Yup. That would be our New Year's resolution.

We wish it were that easy.

Or is it?

Well, what if we told you that you COULD minimize those enlarged, pesky pores INSTANTLY with one, beauty product?!

You have to think high-definition, ladies. We're talking about makeup that is designed specifically for those up close + personal moments, and it doesn't have to mean necessarily for the big screen.

We cannot imagine how women who make a living in front of the  high-tech, super sharp imagery of TV and the movies feel when every pore on their face is magnified for the world to see. And it's tougher for those of us OVER 40, because great, youthful complexions are not a given. Most of us have to work at it.

There is one beauty product that CAN make a difference. Okay....it's not cheap, but at $34, this little tub will last for months + months.

We're talking about Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Powder. We found some at Sephora. And we are going to invest in a tub of it for 2014.

What's so captivating about a pore-erasing powder?

Well, this one by Make Up For Ever does the job! HD Microfinish Powder is silky, lightweight, + great for EVERY skin tone. It's translucent and formulated with "100% mineral silica. It softens the appearance of imperfections, fine lines, and pores and completely evens out the complexion for a glowing, radiant look."

And you can wear this picture-perfect pore-erasing powder with foundation OR without.

Professional makeup artists all know this little tub of HD can make a flawless complexion appear, even when you're trying to hide some common imperfections.

Now that's a smart beauty buy for 2014.
