L'Oreal Paris Magic Nude: Cool Barely There Foundation For Flawless Coverage

Makeup foundation.

A pain-in-the-neck to put on every day, but foundation is the main building block of all cosmetics. So you NEED to wear some. Plus, it provides  protection from the elements and from pollutants in the air and so forth.

But most women do NOT like that heavy mask feeling that a typical foundation can sometimes feel behind.

So....here's a wonderful, modern foundation that appears to be flying under the radar:

L'Oreal Paris Magic Nude Liquid Powder Bare Skin Perfecting Makeup (spf 18), $12.95 here.



This foundation is for ALL the ladies who want good coverage in a lightweight product that delivers a smooth, flawless complexion.

Well, this Magic Nude could be the answer you're looking for.

L'Oreal Paris describes it like this:

...."Revolutionary liquid transforms on contact, leaving a soft powder like finish. This foundation is so amazingly lightweight it's like wearing no makeup at all! Just shake and apply – it’s magic!"

Comes in 8 foundation shades.

Now, if we can find the right match for our light olive skin tone, we will take
this lightweight foundation>b> for a test drive!

For us, it is a challenge in finding the perfect foundation match, but maybe for you, this isn't a problem.

Will you try L'Oreal's Magic Nude?

Jennifer Hudson Debuts Shocking New Buzz Cut On Instagram: How Very Amber Rose---Sort Of

For a chick to wear a BUZZ CUT, whether she's famous or NOT, takes guts, and then some.

In our humble opinion, Amber Rose is the ONLY celeb we have found so far, who can carry this unforgiving, androgynous do as her signature look.



But watch out!

Superstar Jennifer Hudson has just showed the world her NEW look----a buzz cut she shows off like nobody's business.

We saw this on People.com, courtesy of her Instagram. And this is what JHud posted next to the surprising + striking photo:





So, you ask----How is this hairstyle like Amber Rose's?!

Well, both ladies are wearing buzz cuts. Very daring looks.

That's about all the two dos share. Of course, Amber's buzz cut is pure platinum, while Jennifer's features her signature dark brown hair color, along with sexy side details.

NOT an easy hairstyle to pull off, but it looks quite liberating + edgy.

Comments, please.....

Beautiful Benefits Of Applying Topical Tretinoin, Otherwise Known As Retin A

Wrinkles, age spots, dull complexion, large pores, uneven skin tone, and on and on.

Most of us deal with these skin conditions on a daily basis, and as we approach our 40s and beyond, these imperfections can progress, making us appear a lot older than we are and feel.


Let's be blunt, because tons of big name beauty companies sell us plenty of over-the-counter products designed to make wrinkles and such DISAPPEAR and to allow the skin to bounce back like a 20-year-old's.
Okay...let's STOP the b.s. and look at the facts.

Scientists and skin care experts would agree that prescription Retin A is about as good as it gets when it comes to finding the BEST anti-aging product out there.


But even Retin A CANNOT destroy wrinkles permanently.

Retin A CAN dramatically REDUCE wrinkle depth and fade its harshness AFTER a number of years. Plus---It CAN prevent new wrinkles from forming.

And to boot, the only FDA-approved topical treatment for wrinkles is tretinoin, known commercially as Retin A.

If you think Retin A is like a face lift in a bottle, well, that's expecting a fairy tale to come true.

BUT....applying Retin A to your face + neck nightly can improve several areas of concern:

1. Sun damage.
2. Large pores.
3. Too oily complexion.
4. Dull skin appearance.
5. Bad acne.
6. Wrinkle + fine line depth.
7. Uneven tone + texture.
8. Early form of skin cancer.

To see if prescription Retin A is right you, learn more here at WebMD.

Ciara Shows Off Perfectly Toned Arms: Boxing Work-Outs Key

WOW. Just wow!

We have gone on + on before about singer Ciara's gorgeous, perfectly-toned arms.

And then we saw photos again, and well, we had to read up on how the superstar maintains that SEXY body, especially those KILLER arms!



Ciara's arms are slender, but more importantly--- hers are lean + muscular with GREAT definition.

So, how do you get Ciara's buff biceps + triceps? We like to use small dumbbells. But Ciara's secret is in the boxing ring.



She tells Shape Mag's September issue this when working out with celeb trainer Gunnar Peterson:

".....Hour-long plyometric cardio circuit using boxing elements," which Ciara loves because ..."you're getting three-in-one training: It's hitting your muscles; it's a cardiovascular workout; and it's a mental exercise..."

..."You have to be superfocused when you're boxing. After I've done a few rounds, I feel as if I can conquer the world."

Women On Twitter Hating Alleged Hair Extensions Of Fox's Megyn Kelly: Meow!

Wow. What a GOP debate in prime time that was on Thursday!

Folks are still buzzing about it, and the fireworks between debate moderator, Fox's own Megyn Kelly + presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Let's talk blonde HAIR....and we don't mean Mr. Trump's flaxen coif.

Oh, no.....Ladies everywhere on social media are STILL discussing anchor Megyn Kelly's alleged hair extensions.

We repeat---ALLEGED.

Most TV viewers are used to seeing the pretty news anchor with a sensible wavy bob.


But lately, the popular news woman has been wearing her locks in long cascades, looking MORE like a Khloe Kardashian hair do than a classic, not-as-sexy bob.

Here's Megyn at Thursday's lively debate.

But women started tearing Megyn down, criticizing the look, especially on Twitter:


only reason woman would wear LONG hair extensions n fake lady bug brigette bardot eyelashes is 2 get her way using sexuality.


I agree with you about I will not watch her MSN show anymore! And yes her hair extensions look so cheap!

Just unfollowed you! Used to love your wit & intelligence! Hair extensions & too tight clothes causing brain damage!

 Aug 6
This was one long commercial for the Jessica Simpson hair extensions Megyn Kelly is rocking.

And there you have it....The nasty comments go on + on regarding Fox news' Megyn Kelly.

What do you think? We all know that Fox News LOVES its blonde anchor ladies. So.......

Extensions.....bad extensions...or looking good, Megyn?

Megyn Kelly does NOT mention her alleged hair extensions here at her Twitter page.
