Ladies----Is 2015 Really The Year Of The Er.....Bush?

Pubic hair. Not exactly a general beauty topic to talk about, but these days, the er.....hair down there does get mentioned.

Remember actress Gwyneth Paltrow unnervingly discussing her own hair down there?

Just 2 years ago, Gwyneth appeared on Ellen DeGeneres to talk about a sheer gown she was ready to wear on the red carpet:

"Well, let's just say everyone went scrambling for a razor," she said. "I work a '70s vibe . . . You know what I mean?" 

Okay...thanks for the TMI, Gwyneth.

"I knew it had permeated when my brother in-law said to me like, 'I hope you're not going to bring back big b---,'" Gwyneth recalled. "I was like, 'Thanks, Al. Thanks for your support.'"

Cameron Diaz ia another fan of the er....big bush, and has mentioned that, too, in her 2013 book--The Body Book: The Law of Hunger, the Science of Strength, and Other Ways to Love Your Amazing Body.

And even poor princess Kate, who is actually Duchess Kate, had some revealing photos snapped in 2012 that revealed a 70s vibe as well.

Since it IS bikini season, um....grooming that area would make sense to us.

According to the HuffPost, 2015 is THE year of the bush.

No one told us....LOL...

By the way, speaking of pubic hair, check out Betty Beauty Color for the Hair Down There ($13.69, at Amazon.com).


And that's it...We are done on this topic.

Lindsey Vonn Wows Tonight At ESPY Awards In Red Sexy Gown

We LOVE watching the ESPY Awards every summer, not only for the incredible achievements these athletes bring, but for their super healthy bodies.

Yes, model slim is always beautiful, but so are strong physiques with muscle.

To prove our point, take a look at skier Lindsey Vonn in that red, sexy gown with the sky-high slit. Lindsay looks gorg!


We also think Lindsey's hair + makeup are spot on! Full brow, soft, smoky eye + nude lip.

Flawless. She's really pretty.


A nude lip is NOT easy to pull off, but Lindsey wears it well!

To COPY Lindsey's nude lip, try CoverGirl Continuous Color Lipstick , In the Nude ($5.99, at Drugstore.com).

Gray Roots Tougher To Hide For Dark-Haired Gals Like Kourtney

We know how you feel Kourtney Kardashian, except we aren't in the public eye like your family, so when you are showing a minor beauty faux pas that makes you human like the rest of us, we feel for you.

Leave it to the mostly male paps to zero in on Kourtney Kardashian's grey roots just showing by her upper ear + temple.

Are you proud of yourselves, paps?

Give the new momma a break for goodness sake. She just broke up with her longtime partner Scott Disick, so it hasn't been easy for the mom-of-3.


When you have very dark hair like Kourtney....and yours truly, here at BeautyTipToday.com, gray roots are DIFFICULT to manage. You can get the skunk-like appearance down the center of a middle part. It ain't pretty.

We think Kourtney Kardashian could care less what the photographers are zeroing in on. If it were us, we would be mortified.

But we have a simple, inexpensive solution. ladies. Many of you already use one of these BETWEEN colorings:

The Instant Grey Touch-Up ($5.99, at Beauty Boutique).



This stuff works in an instant. Available in these shades:

Blonde. Light Brown. Dark Brown, Black. Auburn.

We use this brand in dark brown.

Is this touch-up perfect?

No....But it EXTENDS time between coloring and looks good if applied carefully.

There are more expensive root touch-ups that do NOT perform any better than this little, hair mascara in a tube.
And this would HIDE any stray grays Kourtney has in an instant. POOF! Gone!

We highly recommend this.

Sexy Summer Eye Makeup: Think Ocean And Turquoise

Summer often brings thoughts of the ocean---bright blue....lovely turquoise. So cool and striking

Maybe that is why turquoise eye shadow is HOT at the moment. And it's NOT hard to see why. 

Even DIOR struck a BLUE -TURQUOISE makeup theme on the runway for spring/summer 2015.

Turquoise is bold + beautiful, but as long as you keep the rest of your makeup palette simple, this look will work!

We've been highlighting the K and J sisters a lot lately, because they seem to ALWAYS know the newest beauty/fashion trends coming out.

Today we are featuring Khloe Kardashian. She was already riding the turquoise eye shadow trend back in early April when she and sister Kim visited Armenia.

 

LOVE the turquoise shadow + high pony tail. SEXY!

And so pretty for SUMMER!

To COPY the look, try Diorshow Khol Stick in "Pearly Turquoise." Found it here at Macy's ($32).



Such a gorgeous blue shimmer for the eye lids.

We think a little turquoise eye shadow makes beauty sense this summer.

Are you bold enough to put some on?

Pregnant? Then Do NOT Get Facial Fillers Or Botox Claims Expecting Mom Kim Kardashian

We have been researching this topic for a few days now, and we learned something important from television's most famous reality star Kim Kardashian.

The 34-year-old mom to little North is now pregnant with a baby boy.

Kim recently made some key statements regarding her beauty routine now that she is expecting once again.  She included this photo from her up + coming website KimKardashianWest.com



And according to the dermal experts out there, Kim is telling it like it is, at least for part of the story.

Read this:

"No I don't do fillers or botox when pregnant like some tabloids are reporting," she explained in an Instagram snap she posted on July 3rd..
"You would have to be really sick to endanger your child like that!"

And most doctors would AGREE. We found these opinions from RealSelf.com.

"Injections of cosmetic hyaluronic acid are not recommended during pregnancy.  There are no studies to show that it will affect the pregnancy but there is no reason to take a risk to your baby.  You will be glowing from being pregnant and should wait until after you have the baby. You don't want to run the risk of getting an infection or a bleed or anything else that might impact your pregnancy."
----Michele S. Green, MD  
     New York Dermatologist 

But here is where Kim Kardashian says something else about the pregnancy facial appearance, that has thrown off a lot of people:

Kim added: "Anyone who has been pregnant or gained weight knows your face totally changes! My nose gets bigger, cheeks fuller and my lips swell up."

There are many pregnant women who do NOT agree with Kim's assessment here.

We are not going to judge. And there are others gossiping that the star isn't even expecting and secretly using a surrogate.

Wow. We don't believe that.

What's interesting in Kim's admission here is her teasing that she DOES get facial fillers + Botox, but only when she is NOT pregnant.

Hmmm. 

It is hard, "Keeping up with ALL the Kardashians these days."

What do you think? Can a pregnant woman's face really change like Kim K is telling us?

Suede Remains Trendy For Summer 2015: Kylie Jenner Steps out

Suede is very fashion forward this summer.

No, we're NOT talking about a heavy article of suede. These days, suede can be constructed of lighter material, and most times, the suede you have on is faux suede.

So what. You can't tell. And suede, whether it's real or not, now comes in lots of pretty colors, too.

Reality TV's Kylie Jenner was out and about with model sister Kendall in Beverly Hills doing lunch.

Check out Kylie's blue tresses and cute, cropped suede top:



You can COPY Kylie Jenner's suede crop top in camel. We found several online shopping.

Here's one from MissyEmpire.com ($34.90).

We like this sleek suede look for summer.

Daytime's Kelly Ripa Proves 40-Something Gals Can Play With Candy Colored Hair

Go, Kelly! Go, Kelly!

Let's face it....Women are expected to act and look a certain way, AFTER they turn 40. Sad, but that's how some people view aging.

But times are changing, thankfully, and with modern chicks like Kelly Ripa, it's OKAY. to do your OWN beauty + fashion thing.

Look at Kelly looking GLAM in bright blue hair. LOVE the candy-colored locks.....Especially since Kelly is nearing age 45!

Oh, yeah...The daytime TV host loves changing up her hair in cut and color. Before feeling happily BLUE, blonde Kelly played around with a cotton candy pink shade about a month ago.

   

We've never seen Kelly look so joyous. It's all about having fun, and although most of us think candy-colored hair is ONLY for the younger set, like Kesha, Julianne Hough, etc., please think again!

If you would like to try a little blue on you, pick up a box of TEMP hair color, like this one:

Garnier Color Styler Intense Wash-Out Haircolor

($6.99, at Target).


Will you try some candy-colored hair this summer?
