Hemp Seed Oil High-ly Effective For Beautiful Skin And Legal

Hemp seed oil. Could this be nature's way to beautiful skin?

Don't worry.....you will not get high by topically applying hemp seed oil to your skin. But you might absorb some rich ingredients found in this light textured oil. And, hey....it's legal. In fact, research shows, that hemp seed oil can clear up acne, reduce inflammation, and plump up skin in its nourishing base. Although it's an oil, the hemp seed does not give you the greasies.

So, what's in hemp seed oil?

Hemp seed oil is made up of 80% essential fatty acids. And it contains the ideal ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 based on our cell structure needs. Hemp so closely matches our own skins lipids that it is able to penetrate deep inside our cells and lubricate the surface between them, providing a natural moisture balance.

And this is also interesting---Hemp is said to be the only plant oil containing Vitamin D, which is key for calcium absorption. Using hemp seed oil is a smart way to achieve soft, smooth and hydrated skin. And you can also take it in supplement form, if you don't want to apply the oil to your skin.

Hemp seed oil is also on the cheap end. A little goes a long way. And you can wear it under makeup daily to battle an oily face, as well as nourish a dry complexion. The oil dries quickly upon application, and leaves a nice matte finish.

Coquettish Cougar: Courteney Cox Arquette Beauty Secrets

Courteney Cox Arquette is one of Hollywood's most glamorous and ageless women. And although her best gal pal Jennifer Aniston seems to get all the beauty press, we thought we would take a look at the classic, quiet beauty of Courteney Cox Arquette.

The mother to daughter Coco has been going through a difficult time these days. She and husband David Arquette have announced their separation after 11 years of marriage, a union most thought was very solid in an un-Hollywood way. Gossip has been circulating about alleged cheating on both sides. And her 7-years-younger hubby has been yapping away to radio talk show host Howard Stern about not having Courteney in bed with him for some 4 months now. Gee, classy guy.

Aside from all that, Courteney Cox Arquette is a busy actress with her hit show, Cougar Town, and taking care of their active 6-year-old daughter. And yet, the former 'Friends' star has never looked better at age 46! So, let's take a look at Courteney Cox Arquette's beauty secrets:

1. Kinerase skin care. It's a line of anti-aging products that Courteney swears by, and she has also been the face of the Kinerase company. She adores Kinerase's Intensive Eye Cream ($55, .7 oz) and Kinerase C8 Peptide Intensive Treatment face cream, a vitamin C and E packed serum. Courteney says: "The results are undeniable. Kinerase works."

2. Botox cosmetic. The number #1 injectable helps smooth away wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and those pesky crow's feet. Courteney admits she is a Botox user, but in a natural way. The August 2010 cover girl for InStyle told the magazine this:

"Sometimes I use Botox. Compared to most, I use it very sparingly. One time I did too much, though. I feel weird if I can't move my face, and that one time I overdid it, I felt trapped in my own skin. I don't have a problem with any of that stuff; if it makes you feel better about yourself and it's done properly, then fine."

3. Lipstick in paler shades. Her faves include: Laura Mercier Baby Lips (sheer warm pink, $20) and Josie Maran Rumi Joon (sheer pinky beige, $20).

4. Dark hair lightened just a tad, according to hairstylist Chris McMillan: "Dark hair really makes her blue eyes stand out, but before, her hair was black. Now it's dark brown and less harsh." That's not the only thing that's gone soft. "I used to use a black liquid eyeliner on her," said makeup artist Beth Katz. "Now I use shadows for a smoky, softer look."

5. Working out consistently to maintain a slender, healthy figure. Courteney is 5'5''. She enjoys doing 'Budokon,' the reunion of martial arts, yoga, and meditation.

Ashlee Simpson Bucks Big Messy Hair Trend For Cropped Edgy Blonde Cut

We can't decide who looks cuter....Ashlee Simpson with her new cropped edgy blonde cut or little son Bronx with his angelic flaxen locks?!

The sister starlet of Jessica Simpson has bucked the big, messy hair trend and chopped off her very long, signature hair. We call Ashlee brave, on the cutting edge of beauty, and one confident young woman.

While most of Hollywood's glamour girls keep covering their necks and image in super long hair extensions, some dare to go bare, and that's exactly what the singer has done. And we believe, that Ashlee, too, had hair extensions.

So, is Ashlee Simpson's new cropped edgy blonde cut a DO or a DON'T?

We happen to think it is a major DO! It sets Ashlee apart from her celebrity peers and displays her sense of modern beauty style. And there is something almost fragile about her new very light locks and cropped do. She reminds many of us of a young Mia Farrow back in the days of the boyish pixie cut. No, this isn't a pixie, but it's a modern take on the classic, gamine cut.


Ashlee Simpson is definitely a beauty trendsetter. She has worn her hair in just about every color, as you can see in the photo gallery here. And she is able to rock each hair color quite beautifully. She also has great bone structure, including a strong jaw, and she can pull off edgy looks, both in beauty and fashion.

We hate to compare sisters to each other, but we have always found Ashlee to be far more attractive than older sis, Jessica, yes, even before Ashlee had her nose done.

Ashlee isn't afraid to veer away from her beauty comfort zone. She takes chances, and goes against the grain. Hollywood seems to be obsessed with super long hair and/or hair extensions, and the look is getting old and tiresome....like the Kardashian sisters, Gisele Bundchen, Mariah, Guiliana Rancic, sis Jessica Simpson, Fergie, Jennifer Lopez, Alicia Keys, Lindsay Lohan, Jennifer Aniston, and the list goes on and on.

It's really refreshing to see Ashlee Simpson Wentz stand out with her new bold cut.

E!'s Fashion Police Make Fun Of Kate Moss Model Style But We Adore It

Kate Moss. The model has always been a fashion icon. She remains one of the few, who actually has great style off the runway. We have watched Kate Moss select some stunning vintage pieces and blend them into her own modern wardrobe and do it so effortlessly and with such a sense of chic.

So, we were quite surprised when Joan Rivers, the host of E!'s 'Fashion Police,' poked fun at a photo of the sexy model as she emerged from a night of clubbing with her so-called 'disheveled appearance.'

We happen to adore Kate Moss' messy, big, don't-need-a-comb hair and heavy, left-on-overnight eyeliner, and imperfect beauty! She sets trends, and many have been trying to copy this chick's look for years.

Even hot designers like Marc Jacobs, keep their eye on Kate. Big, rolled-out-of-bed hair is back in a major way, especially for Spring 2011! NY Fashion Week was showing off big Kate Moss hair at the Marc by Marc Jacobs show.

Kate Moss is now 36-years-old and still in high demand. In fact, let's look at the numbers--according to Forbes's annual Top Earning Supermodels list, Moss raked in $9 million last year. She was also on the cover of Harper's Bazaar last March and inside their pages for a lay-out. And this is what she told the mag about herself as a fashion designer:

"I’m not really a fashion designer. I just love clothes. I’ve never been to design school. I can’t sketch. I can’t cut patterns and things. I can shorten things. I can make a dress out of a scarf."

Every Gal Needs A Clarifying Shampoo Once In A While

Let's face it----sometimes your hair (scalp, too) has a lot of gunk in it. And your favorite shampoo just can't remove the entire build-up. That's why you need a clarifying shampoo every once in a while.

What exactly is hair gunk and how do we get it? If you use styling products, like gel, mousse, hairspray, pomade, and are exposed to hard water minerals, chlorine, and even some medications, this stubborn build-up is known as hair gunk. It can take away hair's glossiness and leave behind greasies or even dry, itching scalp with dandruff and limp locks. And even over-use of your favorite shampoos and conditioners can cause the build-up.

A clarifying shampoo can remove the build-up and bring back the shine to your crowning mane. Yes, many of these shampoos contain harsher ingredients that are powerful enough to remove the gunk. But you should not over-use a clarifying shampoo, because too much of it can strip your mane of its natural oils and leave you with brittle locks.

So, once every 2 weeks with a clarifying shampoo is good enough to get rid of the build-up and excess sebum clogging your scalp pores.

Here are 3 clarifying shampoos that attack hair build-up:

1. Suave Daily Clarifying Shampoo ($1.79, 22.5 oz., at drugstores).

2. Back to Basics Citrus Sage Clarifying Shampoo ($9.96, at drugstores).

3. Frederic Fekkai Apple Cider Clarifying Shampoo ($23, at Neiman Marcus).

Faux Fur Vests Fab Fashion Trend For Fall 2010 Into Winter 2011

It was only 45 degrees when we rolled out of bed this Saturday morning. A cool, crisp wind surprised us, as we went out to retrieve the newspaper.

Fall is definitely here, and what better way to 'fall into' the fab trend for Fall 2010----the faux fur vest. A lot less bulkier than a coat, and quite a versatile styling piece!

We have, er, fallen in love with Michael Kors' version of this hot fashion trend. It's called, the Michael Kors Faux-Fur Coyote Vest (bottom photo):
Khaki faux coyote fur (acrylic).
Shawl collar; hook-and-eye front.
Modacrylic/acrylic/polyester.. And it retails for $130.

Faux fur vests look super with a pair of jeans and boots. You can wear the vest daytime or nighttime.

For a cheaper version, you can also try Old Navy. Their faux fur vest is a little shorter in length, and comes in black or brown and only costs $29.50 (top photo). And just as lovely.

Just remember to watch proportions, as a faux fur vest can add a little volume to the mid-section.

And, no beautiful animals have been harmed in this fab Fall fashion trend. So, everyone comes out a winner here. Plus, these vests are great-looking!

Remember Mood Rings: Color Yourself Happy With New 'In The Mood' Polish

Your eyes certainly say a lot about you. But what about your nails? Could your manicure/pedicure be the new picture of your soul? In other words, emotions found right at your fingertips or cute little toes?

Let's not get carried away here, but, we have stumbled onto a new beauty product that claims to 'color you happy,', or any other mood you happen to be in. It's a new shade-changing nail polish called, In the Mood. And the $8 a bottle formula promises to switch hues when your body temperature changes, as well as your state of mind.

Remember those cool 1970s mood rings? Maybe your parents wore them, or maybe you are old enough to have bought a few. Mood rings work on the same basic idea, but the technology is a bit more advanced in a mood ring, so you get a wider range of fluctuating colors---black, red, blue, yellow, and so on. Mood rings contain thermotropic liquid crystals that respond to changes in temperature, which then alters the color. Okay, enough science here. We can tell you, that In the Mood shade-changing nail polish comes in 6 vibrant colors with names like these: Mellow. Hyper. Flirty. Devious. Curious. And Blissful.

And according to their website, this is how the polishes actually work:

"These playful nail polishes change color based on your body temperature, your mood, the heat of your latte... or, of course, the chill of your iced coffee! And they will continue changing back and forth as long as your wear them. Cool swim in the ocean? Warm subway ride? Frigid morning run? Sitting under the hair dryer at the salon? Amuse yourself by guessing what shade your delightfully bi-polar nail polish will be at any given moment!"

By the way, we found this little tidbit from a woman that seems to know a lot about nail polish: "The mood polish is best used on acrylic nails, not just because of the barrier between the polish and the nail bed, but also because the extended tip does not hold heat and allows for a more dramatic color gradient."

If anything, shade-changing nail polish sounds like fun., good mood, or otherwise.

Now Skinny Kelly Osbourne Decides On Laser Tattoo Removal

Even celebrity Kelly Osbourne would probably agree with this statement:

"Think before you ink!".

The now skinny British beauty has decided on laser treatment to get rid of some of the 15 tattoos she has on her body. She appeared as a guest on Chelsea Lately on the E! network last night.

Kelly also told the British Daily Mail that some of the tats were a "mistake,", inlcuding the one pictured here, depicting a keyboard on her arm, as well as a heart and crossbones on her wrist. You can see more of her ink here.

Kelly Osbourne has always been stylish and very fashion-conscious. And she is currently a co-host on E!'s Fashion Police with style critic Joan Rivers.

She is very happy having lost some 42 lbs. recently. And Kelly now has much better self-esteem. "When I was younger I really do think that tattoos were my way of self-harming because I really knew it would upset my mum and dad.

"I was miserable and I just went and got all these tattoos and I don't know why. One of them is a keyboard and I don't even know how to play a piano!"

Lots of rumors were circulating that the 25-year-old daughter of famous rocker Ozzy Osbourne is anorexic or using drugs to stay skinny. But the petite 5'2" star is doing nothing more than working out religiously and eating healthy. And what got the ball rolling, was Kelly's appearance on Dancing with the Stars last year, where she learned the discipline of dance.

Kelly Osbourne has still got those cute, chubby cheeks and adorable round face. She looks amazing. Check her out in a white, Grecian gown at the Governor's Ball, following the Emmy Awards show last August.

We are so happy for Kelly, not only because she is now skinny, but more importantly for the self-esteem and elegance she is gaining each day.

Keira Knightly Debuts New Bob At Chanel Show: Boring Or Fab?

The sleek, straight bob. Always classic and sophisticated. And British actress Keira Knightly took a front row seat at the Chanel Spring/Summer 2011 Read-to-Wear show in Paris on Tuesday, debuting the cut, and of course, showing off her amazing bone structure.

Okay, we personally are not a big fan of the bob. But then again, when you look like Keira Knightly, why not?!

So, is Keira's new 1920's style bob boring or fab?

The 25-year-old beauty got her brunette locks chopped off for one person. This is what she told InStyle magazine:

"I had my hair bobbed about a month ago, then I had it freshly trimmed again this morning," Keira says. She added that her hair was not cut for any particular movie role, instead saying: "I did it for myself."

We think Keira Knightly's new side-swept bob looks very Victoria Beckham. Another very stylish Brit.

And we like it when celebrities change their look again and again. Keira has had a pixie cut, heavy bangs, long, dark waves, and some blonde locks in the past. So we appreciate her chameleon beauty.

Meantime, Keira Knightly's been on the back of a motorcycle for a new Chanel Coco Mademoiselle fragrance ad. The commercial was filmed in Paris. And Keira has been the face of Coco Mademoiselle for four years now.

Say Bye-Bye To Lisa Rinna's Very Big Silicone-Inflated Upper Lip

This is big beauty news!!

Lisa Rinna has undergone upper lip reduction surgery. Yes, there is such a procedure, and plastic surgeons can create a smaller set of lips.

As the 47-year-old actress told People magazine recently, "My lips started to define who I am." And that is why she decided to undergo the procedure. "That bothered me."

We think that is wonderful news. Lisa Rinna is a very pretty woman, and those lips were a bit over-inflated.

Remember last year, when the former 'Dancing with the Stars' contestant went public and finally admitted that in 1986, she had silicone injected into her upper lip – an impulsive decision she made with a girlfriend and likens to getting a tattoo – Rinna told People, "I took a big hit for being honest. It gave everyone online permission to lambaste me. It hurt my feelings."

She thought the public would have gone easy on her for coming forward, and the public reaction upset her immensely. So on August 26th, Lisa Rinna had surgery to downsize that very big upper lip. And at the moment, she feels great. Her mouth is still swollen from the procedure and will require six months to fully heal.

So, how do her lips look, post-surgery? Rather than feeling "bumpy and uneven … my lip has no lumps! It's smooth," Lisa says.

And Lisa Rinna is a busy bee these days. She's the star of TVLand's upcoming reality show Harry Loves Lisa (with husband Harry Hamlin).

Good for her. We can't wait to see her and her new upper lip.

Bleached Brows Big Again For Spring 2011: Silly Or Sexy Look?

Bleached brows are sneaking back in again on the runways. And that means for Spring 2011, the bleached, 'no-brow,' almost invisible frame for the eyes, is trying to become a mainstream look.

Well, is it a silly or sexy look?

During NY Fashion Week, designers like Marc Jacobs sent his models down the runway, wearing barely-there eyebrows, a very late 70's and early 80's glam, punk look.


We wrote about the bleached brow look, when the funky trend appeared on the runways a year ago. Apparently, the look is still hot.

But should you get in on this look?

What we always like to say: Just because you see it on the runway, doesn't mean it works here, in real life.

Whatever you do, do not shave off your eyebrows! You could bleach them yourself with Jolen creme bleach, if you really want in on this latest beauty trend (We used to do this years ago).


We, here at BeautyTipToday.com, have also written several articles on how to keep our eyebrows fuller and more natural
.
We have told you time and time again, that too much plucking, will yield scraggly, thin brows, by the time you reach your mid-30s to early 40s.

And our makeup legend friend, Sandy Linter, has been blunt about the whole brow plucking issue. She says the biggest beauty mistake she sees, are women with too-thin eyebrows. According to Sandy, that ages a woman immediately.

We have had pale brows and thin ones---huge mistake. We think the look is kind of vacant.

Then again...if you're under age 25, try it on.

How To Get Leighton Meester's Off-Camera Natural Look

We all adore her as Blair Waldorf, the rich, spoiled NY girl on TV's Gossip Girl. Everything about her speaks luxury, from her salon perfect hair to her polished high-end cosmetics.

But when 24-year-old Leighton Meester is off-camera, that means only minimal makeup.

Just recently, the star of Gossip Girl told InStyle magazine, that when she's not on television, she prefers a more natural look:

"Ill just use a little cheek stain, curl my lashes, and put on some lip balm and sunscreen."

So, let's take a look at how lovely Leighton Meester is keeping it real. Here are her favorite beauty products for that natural look:

1. Smith's Rosebud Salve ($6, at beauty stores like Sephora). "This is my desert island beauty pick. I use it all the time."

2. Benefit Benetint ($28, Sephora). "The most natural flush."

3. L'Oreal Paris Bare Naturale Mascara ($10, at drugstores). "One of my favorite buys because I can find it wherever I go."

4. Herbal Essences 'Tousle Me Softly' Spray Gel ($3, at drugstores). "Holds my style but still lets my hair move. Plus, it smells great."

5. Chanel Hydramax Active Gel Cream ($72, fine dept. stores). "Taking care of my skin is important. You've got to have a good base to play with makeup."

5. Lancome Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover ($26, at fine dept. stores). "This gets everything off--even stage makeup."

6. Custom-Blended Fragrance ($9, here). "It's my signature scent--white tea, fig, and sandalwood oils."

Great natural beauty tips, Leighton Meester!

Tyra Banks And 'Cheap Fishnet Stockings': Even Supermodels Make Mistakes

Our caption: When bad style happens to good supermodels.

There's Tyra Banks at Thursday evening's French Vogue 90th Anniversary Party in Paris.

The always glamorous television personality and former supermodel made one huge fashion faux pas, and it involved a pair of "cheap fishnet stockings". Oh yeah, Tyra got creative and made a face mask out of the stockings. Granted, she is quite a stunning woman at 36, but, maybe she should leave the avant garde look for the runways.

Everyone's talking about the Tyra Banks face mask, and well, none of it is complimentary. But in Tyra's defense, the invitation did say, 'masked ball', so, in reality, that's how the supermodel RSVP'ed.

Tyra has even been tweeting about her homemade mesh face mask:

"So FRENCH VOGUE mask is sum cheap FISHNET stockings I got n crazy store n Paris! I cut em up n made it y'all. N did my ow hair n makeup." 7:42 PM Sep 30th.

"I thought about keeping my homemade mask but this morn it looked like cut up insane stockings so I threw away.Photos will be the memories." about 19 hours ago Oct 1st.

"Wow! Was rushing 2 get ready 4masquerade party n thought my "fishnet stocking mask" was cheap. Saw credit card receipt. Cost was $100. !!!" less than 10 seconds ago Oct. 2nd.

Popular Tyra Banks has more than 2 million Twitter followers, so she is adored by many, with or without the "cheap fishnet stockings."

Oprah Tries To Make Point About Aging Beauties In Hollywood.

Oprah. When the talk show titan speaks, most women really listen.

But what was the point of Oprah's show yesterday? She had three famous actresses---youngest- Teri Hatcher, middle- Cybil Shepherd, and oldest- Lynda Evans. The attractive trio sat down with Oprah to discuss, aging, beauty, and what society expects when a woman gets older.

Frankly, we learned very little. We did get to see Teri Hatcher, Cybil Shepherd, and Linda Evans without makeup. Okay, that was a bit frightening, but very honest.

And we can only imagine how difficult it is for a Hollywood celebrity over 40 trying to maintain her looks and still play a significant role on television and in movies.

As the trio explained on Oprah yesterday, the fans expect celebrities to keep that perpetual and impossible appearance of beauty and youth. And that society worships young women and tosses the old for the new. Yeah, we get that. We've all known that for years.

The women say they have found that people tend to be disappointed by what they see in real life, because the public has become so used to seeing actresses as glossed-up cover models, which in reality, they are not. There's a lot of re-touching going on.

But Oprah did not go far enough. The only actress who was very honest about what she has done in the past to stay youthful, was Dynasty's Lynda Evans. She spoke about having a facelift at 50 because she wanted one and was seeing a man 12 years her junior, singer Yanni.

But has Oprah had any work done? Or used injectables like Botox or Juvederm? Why couldn't Oprah come clean?? Why didn't she press Cybil Shepherd further and Teri Hatcher, as well? And is it really a sin to use Botox?

We do expect, and probably foolishly, that our favorite celebrities stay gorgeous and young forever, but that's just the business they are all in. We also expect male celebrities to still look hot, and get disappointed when they are not. We think the same rules apply, although not as harshly.

Celebrities have a lot of money and resources to get the very best in anti-aging procedures and products. We don't think it's bad to try and stay healthy and attractive as we get into our 40s and beyond.

Look at Christie Brinkley, Helen Mirren, Sophia Loren, mama Kardashian Kris Jenner, and so many other women in the public eye. They are proof that women can still maintain sensible beauty when society tries to prove that they are beyond the so-called expiration date.

Only $39.80 in a crinkled faux leather in chocolate with faux shearling in cream. And like it's more expensive sister jackets, this one also features the classic asymetrical zipper closing.

Salma Hayek Does Juice Cleanses To Melt Away Pounds: How About You?

Sexy actress Salma Hayek says she drinks them to shed pounds quickly. In fact, she believes so much in the detox diet, that she's the proud face of Cooler Cleanse.

"I’ve been doing juice cleanses for 15 years," she tells Us Weekly magazine. Now the movie star has teamed up with her friend and professional juicer Eric Helm to create Cooler Cleanse, a three- or five-day juice detox delivery program. ($58 a day). Detoxers consume less than 1,200 calories a day in six drinks, including almond milk and watermelon-lime. "I always lose weight," says Salma, who does light yoga during a detox.

And there are added benefits. More energy and healthier insides, according to Salma and those who believe in a liquid cleansing diet. She isn't alone, either. Slender celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah Jessica Parker, Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie, and Demi Moore have all admitted to detox diet cleanses. Some have gone on the detox drinks to get in super shape for a movie/tv role or to look slimmer for an upcoming red carpet event.

Most nutritionists and doctors pooh-pooh juice cleanses and any other kind of liquid diet because the calorie count is too low. Consider this--the recommended daily intake of calories hovers around 2,000 for a woman. Dieters will even go down to 1,400 calories. But that's the safe limit. The Cooler Cleanse is allegedly in risky territory at just 1,200 calories a day.

However, detox cleanses like the one Salma Hayek has put her name behind, only has the consumer in the program for 3-5 days, which isn't too long a time.

"My skin glows when I finish day three. And it inspires me to think about what I put in my body," Salma explains.

We think juice cleanses and other detox diets have their place in the world of staying slim, as long as the consumer follows the guidelines and doesn't abuse the program.

No One Wears Neutrals Better Than Demi--Hot Colors For Fall

Neutrals like camel, beige, taupe, grey, and charcoal, are not always easy to pull off in the world of fashion. But Hollywood's Demi Moore wears neutrals better than the rest. And for Fall 2010 into Spring 2011, this is the hot trend. Put your engines into neutral, ladies!

The actress has been putting on the neutrals for years now, with femininity and elegance. Stylists call this year's neutral fashions, a return to lady-like glamour.

We chose to feature Demi Moore, not only because she and Ashton Kutcher are making headlines these days, but for her sophisticated style evolution. The dark-haired actress and mom to 3 girls, has come a long way.

Demi Moore adores wearing a muted look on the red carpet, but in no way, are the colors she chooses ever boring or dowdy. She seems to favor nudes, taupes, and pale greys. And trust us, you won't fade into the background wearing neutrals. Instead, the look is a classic one, that never falls out of style.

Let's take a look. In the top center photo, Demi is wearing an Atelier Versace gown in buff. Oscars 2010.

In photo 2, we see Demi in a delicate nude chiffon Christian Dior gown. Golden Globes 2009.

In photo 3, the actress looks striking and sexy in a grey, beaded gown. 1995 event.

And in photo 4, Demi wows her fans in a taupe, one-sleeved Lanvin Spring 2010 dress. 2009 event. Demi was already ahead of the game, wearing it first.

Sometimes, a softer shade of color speaks volumes when it comes to fashion, makeup, and nails. And this season, is the time to try some.

Perricone Says Avocado Makes You Sexy And More Good Foods To Keep You Young

Avocados make you sexy?!

Let's put it this way.......if you believe anti-aging expert Dr. Nicholas Perricone, then you would come to learn that this fleshy, yummy green fruit full of healthy fats, can actually increase libido. Hmmm. We eat one avocado a week. Need we say more?

Dr. Perricone has a new book out--Forever Young:The Science of Nutrigenomics for Glowing, Wrinkle-Free Skin and Radiant Health at Every Age.

Why should we trust him?

Well, he is a best-selling NY Times author. Remember that one? The Wrinkle Cure. Even we have a copy.

And Dr. Nicholas Perricone brings science to the art of beauty. At least, this dermatologist tries really hard to find, through tons of clinical and laboratory research, ways to keep women looking young and healthy, hopefully, forever.

Hence...his newest book, Forever Young. The doctor made an appearance on Good Morning America today, revealing foods that keep you looking and feeling young. And the humble avocado is just one of his picks.

Here are more:

1. Cinnamon. Just an 1/8 of a teaspoon daily, can reap major benefits. Dr. Perricone says that this tasty spice regulates blood sugar, which helps keep skin wrinkle-free. Cinnamon also has strong properties that prevent dangerous melanoma(skin cancer).

2. Watercress. This leafy green veggie is packed with minerals and diuretic properties to help remove toxins from the body. It's believed to prevent against cancer as well as target eye and skin health. Dr. Perricone mentioned on GMA that watercress clears up acne, too.

3. Salmon and other cold water fish. The orange-colored oily fish is full of good protein, which the body needs to maintain and repair itself as we age. Salmon also features omega-3 essential fatty acids and antioxidants that battle inflammation, keep skin looking young.

4. Chia seeds. The nutty, little snack is also packed with omega-3 fatty acids, to keep skin, heart and brain healthy. Chia seeds are also an excellent source for vitamin E and calcium.

5. Coconut oil. This is not a typo. Dr. Perricone prefers organic coconut oil, but claims this fat product contains important saturated fats that help strengthen cell walls. Coconut oil also works well with the thyroid to increase metabolism.

And there are more forever young foods to help you stay that way. Check out Dr. Perricone's new book, Forever Young: The Science of Nutrigenomics for Glowing, Wrinkle-Free Skin and Radiant Health at Every Age.

Julianna Margulies Named Newest Face For L'Oreal Paris Cosmetics

'The Good Wife' has a very 'good life.'

Congratulations, Juliana Margulies! The star of the popular TV series has just been named the newest face for L'Oreal Paris.

The dark-haired beauty joins a prestigious 'umbrella' of celebrities who have represented the major cosmetics giant. Women like Penelope Cruz. Beyonce. Eva Longoria Parker. Diane Kruger. Andie MacDowell.

Julianna Margulies will represent L'Oreal's RevitaLift skin care line. And she's happy to show off her skin, because she has taken very good care of it over the years:

"I always have considered my skin [my best beauty asset] because I got lucky: I have small pores. I am also very pale so I have stayed out of the sun most of my life."

Really? Small pores? We hate her already. Pores that you can barely see, are hard to come by. Good genes, girlfriend.

L'Oreal's RevitaLift introduces its newest beauty product, Revitalift Complete SPF30 Day Lotion. The 14-product anti-aging line is based on Pro-Retinol.

The L'Oreal RevitaLift ads featuring Julianna in print and on TV, will begin showing in 2011.

And yes, Julianna Margulies really uses L'Oreal beauty products. According to Womens Wear Daily, here are a few of her faves:

Kerastase and EverStrong hair care, Revitalift Complete SPF 30 Day Lotion and Preference hair color.

"I remember the first time I heard [the tagline "Because You're Worth It]." I was young, and I said to myself, 'When I have money, I will buy beautiful products and feel I’m worth it,'" Julianna tells WWD.

Beauty Tips From Newest Desperate Housewives Star Vanessa Williams

Sexy Vanessa Williams is sure to bring a breath of sultry air to the set of television's Desperate Housewives show, when the new season airs tomorrow night on ABC. She is definitely worth tuning in for.

At age 46, Vanessa Williams remains a beautiful, healthy, youthful-looking woman. So, how does the talented actress and singer maintain her great appearance? Please...some beauty tips!

For one thing, Vanessa is a proud and unashamed user of Botox cosmetic. She adores the number one injectable in the U.S., because it keeps fine lines and wrinkles at bay, and gives her back a rested and refreshed look.

"Twice a year I receive Botox injections from a doctor whom I trust very much. I also have some favorite beauty products that I use on a daily basis – Perfekt’s Skin Perfection Gel and Mila Moursi’s moisturizing oil," Vanessa Williams told Essence magazine.

We love that about Vanessa. She's honest about her beauty routine, and not embarrassed to admit, that even Hollywood lovelies resort to cosmetic advancements like Botox:

"It’s no secret that I receive Botox cosmetic treatments to reduce the appearance of the two frown lines between my brows that look like an 11 and give me a tired or stressed appearance."

And the newest Desperate Housewives star also dishes about another beauty tip she's been trying. "My new obsession is this treatment I’ve been getting from The Goddess Repair Shop. It uses micro-currents to firm, detoxify, and metabolize fat. It’s just an amazing machine."

And the gorgeous actress also told Shape magazine, that she keeps her curves by shaking her booty, and by sticking to a work-out routine:

"I work out with a great trainer in New York, Sal Gaglio. I try to weight train at least once or twice a week. I hit the treadmill if I’m not training. I’ll do yoga when I have the time. Also, I do a lot of salsa dancing. That’s a great way to stay in shape and be social.".

As for diet, Vanessa Williams likes to keep it healthy. "Go fresh. Try to steer away from anything that’s pre-packaged, canned or processed. I crave chocolate and sometimes I indulge. But I listen to that little voice when it says stop because you’ll see it in a few days and you’ll have to do more work to get it off."

Can't wait for tomorrow night's Desperate Housewives season opener!

How To Get Big Thick Hair: Think got2b Fat-Tastic

Big, thick hair is back in a big way, especially for Spring 2011! NY Fashion Week was showing off big hair and bright lips, as you can see at the Marc by Marc Jacobs show.

And take a look at gorgeous model Kate Moss(top photo) and her sexy, big blonde hair setting the hot trend, like she always does, out in London earlier this summer.

If you weren't blessed with a perfect head of hair, don't worry. You can always fake it. You just need a super styling aid to achieve a big, crowning glory. And that's where got2b's new root volumizer steps in:

got2b Fat-tastic Mega-Lift Root-Boosting Spray (6 0z., $5.49, at drugstores).
