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.

Meow! Kat Von D Liquid Lipstick In Deep Raspberry: Taste The Trend!

Gotta LOVE Kat Von D cosmetics. Soooooo many women do.

Kat Von D is probably best known as an incredible tattoo artist but also these days, as an amazing beauty/makeup creator.


Lots of fans rave about the superior quality of her makeup line. And her new Everlasting Liquid Lipstick collection gives BIG bold pops of pigment that LAST all day.

The beauty trend HOT at the moment is BERRY---that bold fuchsia pout.

And Kat Von D's Bauhau5 - deep raspberry is GORGEOUS! And would look nice on any skin tone.

 

 Of course Sephora is the place to try Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick ($20).

Berry lips are feminine, pretty + noticeable.

This looks great for SUMMER.

Congratulations Jennifer Aniston + Justin Theroux! Jen's Fave Lipstick BeautyTip!

This is wonderful news, but if you're living under a rock, then you might NOT know what's going on......Jennifer Aniston + Justin Theroux quietly said I do on Wednesday evening at their Bel Air, California home.


Congratulations! And BEST to the beautiful newlyweds!

NOT even 100 guests as we noted. More like 70 friends + family for the Hollywood nuptials.

A bunch of cool folks were there-----Howard Stern + Beth Ostrosky, Jimmy Kimmel, Jason Bateman, Whitney Cummings, Emily Blunt + John Krasinski, etc. To read more about this, see People mag's article.

Meantime....since we are focusing on the golden blonde, we went back into our BeautyTipToday archives, to dig up one of Jennifer Aniston's longtime FAVE beauty tips:

This simple tip comes from an interview the actress had with InStyle mag, 2012. In it she mentions a FAVE cosmetic:

Estee Lauder's Automatic Lip Pencil Duo in Fig ($27, at Bergdorf Goodman).

Says Jennifer: : "I've used this Fig lip liner for god knows how many years. You can mix anything with it."



Jennifer's makeup has a healthy, natural look....NEVER overdone, always tasteful.

Plus, refreshingly, she + Courteney Cox are 2 actresses who have their real lips, and NOT the over-inflated lips we see on other celebs whose pouts will remain nameless, because we can't prove whose lips are fake or otherwise.

Anyway...nice  to see a happy ending for Jennifer Aniston.

As we would say to our greek sister:

Xronia Polla.

$4 Wet N Wild Mega Eyes Defining Marker Not Best But Not Worst Either

We LOVE the idea of an eyeliner in a magic marker pen form. Pretty GENIUS.

Why?

It's easy to use, glides on smoothly, dries fast and gives better precision with a felt-tip like marker.

Plus, more importantly for us-----these felt tip markers make for the purr-fect cat eye-----Meow!




So then.....What's wrong with Wet N Wild's Mega Eyes Defining Marker?
Not enough juice in the pen and doesn't last for hours.

BUT-----for $4 from your neighborhood drugstore, it's NOT that bad, either.

We've been using the Wet N Wild Mega Eyes Defining Marker for about 4 days now.

The problems we've noticed in more depth:

1. Wish there were a lot more product in the pen. Running out too fast. Almost used up after 4 days?!
2.  Used this marker pen during the muggiest, hottest heat wave and did NOT last for hours. Seemed to melt away. This should have featured better lasting results.
3.  Blackest Black is NOT black enough. Does not define eye as well as the color seems to indicate.

Having said all that, we have tried worse eye liners. This one gets a C+ beauty grade in our humble opinion.

The eyeliner marker comes in---

WW869
Blackest Black
+
WW870
Dark Brown

We found them at Walgreens for $3.99, a piece.

Paps + Tabloids Shoot For No Makeup Pics Of Jennifer Garner Amid Break-Up With Ben

Here we go......Must be really tough to suffer a break-up when you are a famous celeb.

That's when things get nasty, and paps + tabloids go looking for the no makeup pics or sad faces to show the grieving woman in the relationship didn't make much of an effort to look beautiful for her boyfriend/ husband, etc.


In this case, we're talking about the marriage bust-up of  Jennifer Garner + Ben Affleck, the Hollywood couple who REALLY appeared to be normal, loyal + loving, along with 3 adorable kids.

There is gossip about Ben fooling around with the young nanny.

We are NOT sure what if anything is true.

But now poor Jen is being followed by photographers eager to catch the actress crying, yelling on a cell phone, looking glum, and so forth. Even older file photos are dragged out to show the actress  NOT looking her best.

As if any of this is her fault because of how she dressed, wore her hair, didn't apply makeup, etc.


Well, Jennifer Garner might not appear all that SANS makeup, but boy, does she clean up nicely:


Jennifer Garner has AMAZING, strong, striking bone structure. Lucky DNA, for sure.

As you know, Jennifer has been a longtime spokesperson for the Neutrogena beauty company.

Try this for a smooth, healthy complexion like Jennifer's:

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair.
This stuff contains a stabilized form of retinol.

Can Butt+Boob Cream Deliver Beautiful Curves? Kylie Jenner Says Yes!

Well, we would like to tell Kylie Jenner to just STOP it already. Don't even comment.

We cannot prove your new CURVIER butt + bosom are natural, and it's no one's business, but to resort now and taunt the fans, claiming or teasing that a special cream can INCREASE and give volume to your booty + boobs is just, well.......possibly a bit ridiculous.



The science is NOT there. How are the FAT CELLS being transported to the butt + bosom with a healthy blood supply, Kylie?

Enjoy your new curves. You look great. Period. Don't get involved with social media and the legions of young admirers who wish to look just like you.

Okay, we are done preaching.

Now, let's look at Pure Leef, which Kylie claims works. Check out her recent Instagram details:

I love sharing my beauty secrets with you guys and this is a favorite! @PureLeef offers products with All Natural ingredients (which is important to me) to help maintain & accentuate your curves! @PureLeef's butt enhancement cream & Breast plumping lotion stimulate fat cells in the target areas. I started seeing results after only a month of consistent use. Love their products 😍 Visit www.pureleef.com #curvesonfleek




Pure Leef is sold on Amazon.com ($47, for the butt cream).

Easy to use: Massage on butt + hips 2x (morning and night).

Here's how the Pure Leef company describes its special butt cream:

Butt Plumping Cream

PureLeef’s butt enhancement and body plumping cream is a modern day miracle cream that uses science and nature to boost the volume and shape of the hips and buttocks. Using natural active ingredients to stimulate the body’s own fat generation, it is a safe and painless way to achieve the natural curves you desire.

So, there you have it. Zero to lose except for $47, if it doesn't deliver Kylie's new curves.

Happy Birthday To Me? Gisele Turns 35 And Buzz Continues About Secret Plastic Surgery Paris Visit

This story has legs, just like the supermodel herself, Gisele Bundchen.


The buzz will NOT die down on the alleged secret plastic surgery visit to Paris this week for a reported 2-combo deal---eye lift + breast lift.

Price tag---$11,000.

Hmmm. That sounds kinda CHEAP for both procedures at a tony Paris plastic surgery center. BUT------

Apparently, the tabloid press continues to have a field day over Gisele + her sister arriving together at the clinic wearing black burqas to disguise themselves from head-to-toe.

Also, observant reporters note the same limo driver the supermodel always uses, was shown undisguised dropping the sisters off in Paris. Plus----Gisele was photograped with the same backpack she's usually seen with, etc. etc.

Gisele just turned 35 on July 20th. Maybe this is a "Happy Birthday to me gift?"

Here she is from her Instagram account about 2 weeks ago.


Who are we to judge. She is a great model who has recently retired from the runway.

She seems too young at 35 to need cosmetic enhancement, BUT---don't be fooled ladies + gentlemen; other models have had major work done to get where they are. Simple. Period.

Beauty is NOT always as if to the manor born. And Gisele would NOT be the first model to repair or enhance her striking face + body.

To learn more about eye lift surgery, read this from one of the BEST plastic surgery guides at RealSelf.

Makeup Artist Mario Dedivanovic Dishes On Fave Sculpting Powder for Kim K

Contouring can transform a face into beautiful star power, maybe that is why shading the jawline, cheekbones, sides of the nose, etc., is so popular these days.

Just look at the ENTIRE Kardashian/Jenner clans---- ALL the ladies look lovely to the nth degree, because of some amazing contour magic.

There are TONS of YouTube How To's on applying the perfect contouring yourself, but it REALLY helps to have a pro makeup artist there to get you red carpet ready.

Most of us do NOT have the luxury + deep pockets for a makeup artist in our everyday life. Kim Kardashian has the talented hands of celebrity artist Mario Dedivanovic to enhance her beauty.


And he's dishing on a wonderful sculpting powder to COPY Kim K's super bone structure with the proper powder

Mario is into the Rodial brand at the moment--- namely their Rodial Instaglam Compact Deluxe Contouring Powder ($57, at Amazon.com).

Mario posted a pic of Rodial on Instagram recently, writing:

“Obsessed with @rodialskincare sculpting make up range I found in London, it’s AMAZING! @mrsrodial who is bringing this to the USA? We need this! #rodial #thatPackagingToo.”

We don't advise even trying CONTOURING for everyday looks, even though CELEBS show it off when they appear on camera.

It's NOT easy to master, but if you are anxious to SCULPT higher cheekbones,  thinner nose or sharper jaw, then by all means, try it!

Pucker Up! July 29th is Really National Lipstick Day!!

National Lipstick Day is celebrated on July 29th. Too bad today isn't a national holiday.

But this is a REAL day of celebration! And ever since the 1920s, lipstick has become a daily part of the makeup routine.

Celebs like Gwen Stefani have made lipstick their signature look. When we think of the musical superstar, we ALWAYS see Gwen with classic red lips + platinum hair a la Marilyn Monroe.



Same thing for mega-star Taylor Swift and her glam red lips:


So, let's look at lipstick. Maybe RED  lips are too bold for your taste,  but that's alright.

Let's try a fun, sheer, buildable pink lipstick from CG:

Echantress Blush ($5.44, at Walmart).

Brit Stylist Scolds Duchess Kate For Showing Gray Roots Even While Pregnant

The Duchess of Cambridge is only 33, and yet is GRAYING fast!

Oh, Kate, we feel your pain! We started getting dreaded gray roots in our mid-20s.

But when you're in the public eye and a royal, ALL eyes + cameras are on you. Plus, when you have brunette hair color, gray roots are so much more apparent. It ain't easy, Kate.

And now big mouth Brit stylist Nicky Clarke is scolding the proud new mama for even allowing her grays to be seen back in February while she was expecting Princess baby Charlotte.



Who is Nicky Clarke?

The famous stylist who tended to the lovely head of Princess Diana.

This is what he told the DailyMail.

"Kate needs to get rid of her grey hair — it’s not a good look," he told the publication at his Mayfair salon.

"She does have amazing things done to her hair and it can look great, but unfortunately it’s the case for women — all women — that until you’re really old, you can’t be seen to have any grey hairs."

Kind of harsh, eh?

We have a pricey way to CONCEAL those pesky gray roots, and the Duchess can afford this, we are sure.


This one is by Rita Hazan, celeb stylist NYC ($25, at ULTA).

Christie Brinkley: Her Chic Summer Hamptons Beauty/Style

61 years old.

Oh, yeah. There's the iconic model Christie Brinkley flashing that megawatt smile as she hits the town for an an advanced screening of Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation at United Artists East Hampton Cinema.

We like Christie's look not only for its all-American appeal, but this model is super healthy, and NOT too skinny.

She is curvy, fit + strong.


And we are LOVING Christie's Hamptons beauty/style, like her adorable, high ponytail. That's a great, simple look for summer! She has kept her makeup fresh + lovely with  mascara, liner + pink-y lip gloss, and of course that fab, Hamptons tan.

We also "heart" Christie's skinny white jeans and sandal flats adorned with pretty, faux gems.


Christie also goes for the classic, red pedicure. Looks chic + sexy for summer.

Want a pair of skinny, white jeans?

You can COPY Christie's look here. We found tons of white skinnies at Macy's.

All prices, too....From Michael Kors to 7 for All Mankind to Tommy Hilfiger to Levi's, there is a skinny white jean out there for you!

Beyonce Copies the Cute N' Curly Mariah Do: Massive Ringlets

We LOVE this look:

Massive ringlets---sheer volume.....Okay a bit 1980s...but we adore BIG hair....and apparently, so do 2 of the most famous divas around:

Beyonce + Mariah.

Mariah's been rocking the massive ringlets for a few months now, especially in outdoor venues where heat + humidity do their thing, like with billionaire boyfriend James Packer on his yacht and at Disney with her adorable twins, etc.




And superstar Beyonce is COPYING Maria's sexy voluminous ringlets, as pictured here at NYC's Madison Square Garden last evening for a U2 Concert. Beyonce was too busy giggling for the paps, but let her massive curls do the talking.

LOVE the do on both amazing singers:

Okay....NONE of our business, but are these chicks wearing weaves?

Well, NOT sure, but, we found this excellent primer on WIGS VS. WEAVES at Essence.com

From what we learned, we would guess these beautiful divas are sporting WEAVES...But gorgeous, nonetheless.

What do you think, readers? A wig, weave or natural hair?

RHOBH Star Kyle Richards, Weird Sharkado Ad + Benefit Mascara


Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards has been busy with her girls filming a brand new season of RHOBH for the Bravo network.

But the reality TV personality has been doing something else which appears a bit weird:

Starring with Tara Reid in the recent teaser for last night's Sharknado 3 ad with Benefit Cosmetics.


None of it goes together. But great to see the lovely Kyle Richards hamming it up for the Sharknado cult classic.

Plus...she looks so pretty in Benefit They're Real Mascara ($24, at ULTA).



This mascara looks worth the beauty splurge:
  • 94% saw dramatic length & volume*

No one does SEXY better than Cindy Crawford

There's the iconic model at a family vacation get-away posing for a photo with the amazing lake backdrop and wearing just husband Rande's long flannel shirt + some cute boots.

  

Great legs, and at age 49, keeping it together.

Gaga Bleached Brows: If You Seriously Desire Them, Try This Quick Method

She's been rather quiet lately, but now she's back with her signature bizarre vengeance:

Gaga's super bleached blonde hair + brows!

Okay, certainly NOT for everyone....BUT. Gaga doesn't care what you think, and she's on a major, platinum roll. We are afraid her hair and now brows will soon snap off.

Here is the peroxide star with her stylist Frederic. In the photo, she says he just re-bleached her brows.


We do NOT advise this look for every day wear, but if you REALLY want to COPY Gaga's super bleached brows, then try this simple, quick method. Plus, it's super cheap, too.


Yup. This stuff will do it...and so easy to use----Jolen Creme Bleach....It's been around for a long-gggg time.

We found a box at RiteAid.com for $5.49.

Just mix the cream + powder together and apply with enclosed little spatula to brows. Cover them completely. Wait about 20 mins. Remove product from brows and rinse well with warm water.

There you go----super bleached Gaga brows.

WARNING----- Be prepared for bizarre grow-out process.

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.
