Thank You So Much, Tyra: A True No Makeup Selfie

We've all seen some great-looking stars showing us how brave they are, taking no makeup selfies + posting them on Instagram.

The only thing with that, we would venture that MOST of these au naturale photos are NOT 100% makeup free, plus many have been photoshopped to blur hard edges, or used special lighting to make their naked face selfies super awesome.

We have been waiting for the REAL deal, and model Tyra Banks has stepped up to the beauty plate.



So for that....we say THANK YOU, Tyra!

Here's the 41-year-old, gorgeous model wearing ZERO makeup and with ZERO special photo effects


Wow....We are pretty blown away.

Yup....Tyra, you look  NORMAL, like a real chick with common beauty imperfections----- dark undereye circles, uneven skintone and not the longest eyelashes.

We LOVE you, Tyra. There is so-oooooo much emphasis on women feeling pressured to appear flawless or perfect. And you have shown us that even extremely attractive women get help with proper makeup, hair + fashion.

This is what TYRA wrote on her Instagram:

You know how people say #no filter but you know there's a freakin' filter on their pic? Or maybe there's a smidge of retouching going on but they're lying and saying it's all raw & real?

'Well, this morn, I decided to give you a taste of the really real me. I wanted to smooth out my dark circles so badly!!! But I was like, "Naw, Ty. Show 'em the REAL you." 

'So...here I am. Raw. And there YOU are...looking at me, studying this picture. Maybe you're thinking, "Whoa, she looks ROUGH." And if you are, great! You deserve to see THE real me. The really real me. #RawAndReal'

Please Remove ALL Makeup Before Bedtime, Ladies!

We have repeated this + repeated this many times before:

"Please remove ALL makeup before bedtime, ladies."



Your face + neck should be clean + spotless so your pores can breathe and the repair to cells can begin as you sleep.

Plus, adding nightime serums + creams react more effectively when skin is super clean.

Not only that, but you CAN damage skin + lashes with old dirty, greasy makeup or clumpy, dry mascara.

And we offer proof.

Lately, we have noticed that it takes tons of mascara coats to get full, sexy lashes, so we stupidly began sleeping with a clean, clear complexion, EXCEPT for our mascara.

We left the lashes overnight, so that by morning, we could apply MORE fresh coats of mascara on TOP of the old mascara for BETTER grip + fullness.



Sometimes it worked, but not always. And we noticed now that we have a tiny space MISSING a few upper lashes.

That has NEVER happened before. So now we must practice what we preach.

Take it ALL off!

A makep pro once taught us to REMOVE makeup at night with Pampers Baby Wipes ($2.37 at Walmart). Yes...for real.



Works great, too.

24-Hour Instant Boob Job: Would You Pay Big Bucks To Try Cinderella Breasts On?!

It's no secret that we are a culture obsessed with boobs. So much so, that the numbers don't lie:

The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reports that 313,327 breast augmentations were performed in 2013.


The  average cost for breast implants...about $6,000. Okay, that's not cheap. But consider this growing, HOT trend for all the rich gals out there:

The 24-hour boob job.

It's REAL and women are trying this out for FUN and to see what it's like to have PERFECT breasts for an entire day.

It's a simple, non-invasive procedure, involving saline injections to PLUMP UP the breasts like a surgical implant.

The pricetag is around $3,500. Wow.

Why not just get the more permanent solution? Well, this appears to be quick + easy with zero long-term possibility of health problems, multiple, future surgeries and so on.

Even the NYTimes did a piece on the 24-hour boob job last August, titling their post, What a Difference a Day Makes... LOL

And yes, the ultra-rich ladies are getting the instant boob job for party events like weddings, beach vacations, bar mitzvahs, etc.

Are we that shallow of a society to spend thousands to look flawless for one event?!

Yes. The world has become a crazy place.

But we must admit.....If money were no object and you could experience the perfect boobs for 1-day, wouldn't you?

Rihannna Keeps Rockin' The Red Hair: And We Love It!

Red hair dye....Red hair extensions....Red wigs... Not sure.....Hey we ain't gonna judge. All we know, is that Rihanna ALWAYS looks gorgeous in red locks.

The superstar as been enjoying life as a glam ginger for the past couple of months now.


Rihanna has sported long, red hair before--- a few years ago. And she kept it for quite a while.

Red hair is the most challenging hair color to keep up with. It FADES the fastest, so going to the salon can become a frequent visit.

People Mag caught the sexy star allegedly out on a date with Soccer Star Karim Benzema in Santa Monica last evening.


And here are more 'Lady in Red' pics of the singer in April + May:




Would you rock red hair right now?

We are tempted. We had it once years ago and got lots of compliments, but it faded so fast and that was that.

Copy Khloe Kardashian's Blonder Highlights At Home With Lightening Spray

We are lovin' Khloe Kardashian's blonder, lighter locks!

The blonder Khloe goes, the hotter this K-sister looks!



For years, the youngest Kardashian sister would dye her naturally light hair dark to match the raven locks of sisters Kim + Kourtney.

Well, thank goodness Khloe has returned to what nature gave her, because she looks amazing!

Just last week, the reality TV star was snapped heading out of a Bev Hills salon following a 5-hour blonding session to maintain those beautiful, flaxen highlights.

Wow! Five hours?!

Why not COPY Khloe's blonde highlights at home minus the long-ggggg salon stay?

If you are light haired to begin with and want to AMP UP your blondeness, then try this John Frieda cult fave:

Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Controlled Lightening Spray

$9.99
GREAT stuff.

We found some at ULTA. Spray it + blow-dry! The product works with styling heat and you see
REAL, BLONDER, LIGHTER LOCKS after  3-5 uses.

This summer, GO BLONDER or GO HOME, ladies!

Copy Jessica Alba's Gray Midi Dress + Pink Stilettos Look For Much Less!

Let's be truthful here.

When actress Jessica Alba makes her presence known at a public event, she ALWAYS gets it right.

And we have proof. Here is the glamorous mom-of-two + businesswoman at the Forbes Women's Summit in New York City yesterday.

Jessia looks gorg in a gray, sleeveless midi dress with pretty, bubble-gum pink stilettos.


Simple, but classic elegance.

We found a gray midi dress at a ROCK-BOTTOM price. Check this out from OMGFashion.com (Just $9.23!)



And we found some pretty pink stiletto pumps.

Your choice, ladies. The Jimmy Choos (on sale for $145) or the Go Janes ($19.97)...LOL...Either way, both pairs are nice.


We love how Jessica paired a soft grey neutral with a pop of colorful pink.

GREAT look, Jessica.

And by the way, this star is one smart cookie. Jessica's Honest Company, which sells eco-friendly household products was recently valued at $1 billion.

Beyonce Vegan Announcement: Also Claims Skin Is Now Firmer + Tighter

When Beyonce made a big announcement yesterday on Good Morning America, well...fans were hoping for a lot more than some basic preaching about being a vegan and how this dietary lifestyle has changed her life.

But the gorgeous superstar DID mention something we think is pretty extraordinary for following a vegan meal plan:

"I felt like my skin was really firm, a lot tighter than when I deprived myself of food, and the weight stayed off," Beyonce said.



Wow! Where do we sign up?!

Skin  REALLY FIRM .....+ A LOT TIGHTER?

Just from saying NO to meat, eggs + dairy products?????

Well, if so, then this is big news.....that a vegan dietary lifestyle does wonders for a more youthful + healthier complexion.

Let's face it---Beyonce is a strikingly stunning star, but we also know that she works out extremely hard and also has the BEST makeup + fashion teams to have her looking perfect, 24/7.

Still, the veganism Bey is promoting, along with the launch of a vegan meal delivery service has got us intrigued.

What does Beyonce dine on, then?

"A vegan diet includes all grains, beans, legumes, vegetables and fruits and the nearly infinite number of foods made by combining them." Read more here at About.com.

Beyonce has kept her curves + the lbs. off since joining the Marco Borges 22-Day Revolution Vegan Plan.
