Kaley Cuoco Follows Blonde, Pixie Cut Trend With Success: Would You Dare?

We have to give these celebrities a lot of credit for undergoing a major beauty transformation.

 "Long hair we don't care."

 Apparently not!

 Kaley Cuoco is the latest blonde star to go pixie. And her fans are lovin' every selfie + red carpet photo they can find of the delightful TV actress.

Some might say, all Kaley did was remove her long hair extensions. Even if that were true, going from super long hair to super short hair is still a BIG beauty change.

The pixie cut is definitely on trend at the moment. But it's NOT an easy do to carry with style + beauty. It's a chance you take when you have that much hair lopped off. It's the point of NO return. If you don't like your new, short locks it will take several months to get back to longer hair and usually involve a difficult or awkward growing out stage at times.

However---with a pretty, pixie cut, you can go edgier with makeup, jewelry + hair styling products. Check out Kaley's very bold cat-eye.

The "Big Bang Theory star follows in the pixie footsteps of 2 other famous, blonde actresses who have also gotten lots of attention for their closely cropped cuts---Jennifer Lawrence + Robin Wright.

Plus, all 3 ladies are wearing a glam side part. Allure magazine explains the beauty of the classic side part:

To feminize a boyish cut, like Robin Wright's, blow-dry bangs to the side using a small round brush. "Wearing the bangs soft and side-sweptcan help minimize a square jaw and make a short cut look less severe," says Tim Rogers, a hairstylist at the Sally Hershberger salon in New York City. If bangs are short, pieciness can accomplish that, too. For a wispy effect, flatiron the face-framing sections, then tousle, and separate them with your fingers.

Going On Summer Vacation? Then Take This With You For Wrinkles!

Summer vacation is fast approaching for many of us. And wherever your travels + adventures take you, remember that wrinkles are a no-no.

Well, NOT those wrinkles we worry about after playing in the sun all day. For those---tuck in your high 30 SPF, plus some retinoids for nighttime application.

We're talking about those OTHER wrinkles. You know---the kind that ruin your perfect summer ensemble.

Packing for vacation is not always fun when you have to cram your favorite tops, shorts, skirts, bathing suits, etc. into a never big enough suitcase. And maybe where you're headed, ironing isn't an option.

But there is a simple solution.

You will have to pack along these 2 extra items:

1. A blowdryer.

2. A bottle of this---"The Laundress Crease Release" ($8, 2 fl.oz., at thelaundress.com).

It's easy. After you arrive at your hotel room, beach/lake cottage, etc., hang up your loose dresses, tops, shorts and so on. Spray them with Crease Release. Then BLAST 'em with your blowdryer. Laundress is safe + gentle to fabrics.

There---INSTANT smoothing. Wrinkle-free, ladies!

Now go out and enjoy your summer vacation!

Every Body CAN Look Lovely In A Jumpsuit For Summer 2014!

The jumpsuit.

It is so HOT for Summer 2014. Diane Von Furstenberg is showing them, as are TopShop, H&M, Michael Kors etc.

Hmmm. Think ONLY tall, skinny chicks can wear a jumpsuit?

Well, then think, again!

Jumpsuits look amazing on models like super-slim Gisele Bundchen. There she goes, looking casually chic in a chambray number with a henley top style with baggy denim appeal.
.

But jumpsuits ALSO look amazing on shorter, curvier bodies like Kourtney Kardashian.

Look at the reality star in a black, lace jumpsuit from the Kardashian Kollection:

This glam, lace number is only available through the girls' London collaboration with Lipsy.

But the Kardashian sisters also feature lots of other pretty jumpsuits at their Sears Kardashian Kollection.

WE like this denim halter jumpsuit. On sale for $38.99.

Sun Laboratories Self Tanning Lotion For Safe, Sun-Kissed Bronze Skin

Who doesn't desire sun-kissed bronze skin, especially during those fun days of summer?

But we have all learned the hard way that there is NO safe tan. Period.

Even superstar Jennifer Lopez lies on the beach in moderation, and has perfected the fab, fake tan with a couple of clever products by advise from her makeup artist Scott Barnes:

"Stay out of the sun! He (Scott) really nailed into my head. Bronzer and self-tanners are so worth it. Stay out of the booth, girls! And boys!" Jennifer has said previously.

Self-tanning lotions are where it's at in today's world. And we have sampled an excellent system from Sun Laboratories. If you're looking for a smooth, golden INSTANT tan, then check this company out.

Sun Laboratories features a number of SAFE, for all skin types---sunless tanning sets or kits to help you achieve that sexy, bronze, summer beauty. You get exfoliating body gel, instant tint--self tanning lotion overnight and tan extender lotion.

The sunless tanning products are all paraben-free, come with lots of scientific research and results that deliver. The tanning magic is in the unique ingredients:

Natural sugar-based formula leaves a bronzed look in just three hours!

Self-tanning lotions take some practice to make it all look flawless, but if you follow directions exactly as Sun Laboratories suggests, your deep, dark tan will look amazing + last for days.

We sampled the company's TAN OVERNIGHT SELF TANNING LOTION (10211 T). On SALE now for only $39.95. This set (generous 8 oz. bottles) is gorgeous for light to  medium skin tones. We are of Mediterranean background with light, olive skin.

We can tell you we have NEVER self-tanned, but the results we found after trying it just on our legs offer a NATURAL, attractive, real-looking, medium tan. NO orange skin to worry about. The almond scent is appealing. When everything has set + dried, you will notice that common, self tanning lotion scent, but it disappears in the shower.

We think Sun Laboratories Self Tanning Lotion is a GOOD SUMMER BUDGET BUY!

Here are a few self-tanning lotion tips:
1. Exfoliate in the shower--with a loofah sponge or brush. The smoother the skin, the easier the application.
2. Wear a pair of latex gloves when applying, so palms of hands stay colorless until the end when you want to tan your hands.
3. Rub in the self-tanning lotion quickly, and keep moving to other parts of skin. Do not linger on any one area.
4. Apply one coat every night right after showering until desired shade is reached.
5. Don't forget to rub in the Tan Moisturizer Maintainer in the morning. It wonderfully hydrates the skin with aloe vera gel.

Sun Laboratories also sells bronzer, makeup + skin care items, teeth whitening kits and airbrush tanning equipment.

Killer brows.

We ALL want those, and yeah, some of you were born with them.

We believe that Kim Kardashian has one of the BEST sets of killer brows around. Sure, in her case, it's mainly genetics. Her brows are naturally full.

Plus---Kim K leaves the proper brow grooming to famous eyebrow guru Anastasia of L.A. (below), as well as her professional makeup artists for perfect results.

We've now got the beauty scoop on Kim K's wedding brows. So let's take a further look:

There appears to be 4 Anastasia brow products used to create Kim K's Killer Brows.

Now, you do not have to use all 4 Anastasia brow products, but the most important, magical item is this one:

  Dipbrow Pomade--- a creamy gel, waterproof formula ($18, at Anastasia.net).
  Dark Brown was applied on Kim.
And Anastasia also used the Brow Wiz ($21) to create Kim K's killer brows. This one in Brunette/Dark Brown has an ultra-fine pencil tip, as well as on the other end, a spool-ey brush to blend in the brow Wiz + Dipbrow Pomade.

Now, you can also go 2 steps further, although pro makeup artists make this easier than it looks:
