Beauty Buzz: Take Your Vitamins!

vitamins

You’ve heard of pharmaceuticals,and you’ve most likely heard of cosmaceuticals, but the newest kid on the block is nutraceuticals.

Neutraceuticals are vitamins and supplements that are taken daily to address health issues internally.  From cancer to acne, they all have claims to help alleviate your ailments.

Brands like Perricone MD, Elemis, and Borba all have created supplements for skin and body.  Some claim to give you younger glowing skin, while others help to manage weight.  While most have not been evaluated by the FDA, they do produce results.

I’m a sucker for things like this, so I decided to start taking the Skin and Total Body Supplements from Perricone MD about a month and a half ago. My hair has grown about 8 feet (okay, an inch), my nails are stronger and people have definitely commented on how good my skin looks. These supplements aren’t cheap, but I think they are totally worth it.

Why Did You Wear That: Aubrey O’Day

I couldn’t choose just one hideous outfit, so I figure I would just dedicate an entire post to Aubrey O’Day (formerly of Danity Kane fame).

I don’t even have to see the rest of her outfit to know I hate it.  That headband is so stupid, there is no way there is any “saving grace” in the full length photo.  She has way too many different trends going on here. If you’re going to pick a stupid trend, pick just one.

Here is Aubrey as a transvestite.  I really don’t know what else to say.  Actually, some transvestites actually look better than Aubrey does here.

aubrey3

WTF is this?  I think Aubrey is confused.  Some of the time she looks like a very dirty girl, but here, she looks like she is in search of rainbows and cupcakes with her BFF, Rainbow Brite.  There is nothing nice to say about this outfit. So I won’t say anything (else).

aubrey5

Oh dear lord.  She has more than one of these frou frou ridiculous dresses. My bet- she’s wearing crotchless panties underneath.  Come on, this is the same girl who posed for Playboy not so long ago. You’re not fooling anyone with that dress, Aubs.

Aubrey was cleary in the McCain camp because there is no way she thought by wearing this shirt she would swing any votes for Obama.  She actually probably lost him a few. And DO NOT even get me started on what she is doing to that poor little dog.  Just because you want to look like a jerk, doesn’t mean that your pup does.  Leave him out of it.

Remember when Aubrey was that adorable and actually talented little thing on Making the Band? I won’t even lie, I  kind of liked her back then.  What happened to this girl?

It’s not too late, Aubrey.  A little make under and you’ll be good as new (or in this case old).

Beauty Buzz: Lashing Out

So, you’ve probably seen all of these commercials advertising the new mascaras that are supposed to be essentially “extensions” for your eyelashes.  What makes these mascaras unique is that they use microfiber formulas that create little tubes around your eyelashes in order to create volume and extra length.  Well, guess what? I’ve taken it upon myself to try a few of them out.  I tested Maybelline XXL Extensions XX-treme Length Microfiber Mascra, Loreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes Lash Extension Effect Mascara, and Revlon Lash Fantasy Total Definition Mascara.  Below are my thoughts on each:

maybelline

Maybelline was my first trial of the bunch.  I immediately liked it.  My lashes were definitely longer and thicker.  They weren’t clumpy and they still looked very, very natural.  The only downfall, was that this formula dries out quickly.  You would have to replace it frequently.  Also, the results weren’t really that dramatic. So I marched on.

 

 

revlon

Next up was Revlon’s version of miracle mascara.  Upon my first use, I was disappointed.  The brush is really weird and didn’t feel as effective during application.  The formula was much more runny that Maybelline’s.  My lashes were definitely longer, but not as thick.  They did have a tendency to clump as well.  After a few days of use, the formula thickened up a bit and I liked it better, but still was not sold on this one.

loreal1

Apparently, the third time is a charm because the last mascara I tested was from Loreal.  Hands down, this was my favorite.  It combined both things that I liked about the two previous trials.  The brush was better, the formula was in between the thick version and the runny version. With this mascara, there was an obvious difference.  My lashes were REALLY long and thick.  The only thing that might deter people or freak them out is when you wash off the mascara.  The tubes literally will come off in clumps and this can be frightening because you’re going to think they are your eyelashes, but I can promise they are not!  Trust me, I would not use mascara that made my eyelashes fall out.

These were just the “drug store” versions of these “eye lash extension” mascaras.  Fiberwig, Blinc, and Lancome all have more expensive versions available at Sephora.com. So go out and try them yourself and start batting those eyelashes at some lucky cute suitor.

Why Did You Wear That: Baywatch Out

Oh Pam…  It’s hard for me to do this, but…

pam3

You are no longer the young C.J. Parker of your Baywatch glory days.  Though I must say, you have hung in there pretty well.  There is really not much wrong with the actual outfit itself, it’s just the execution.  The dress is a nice color and your shoes are fantastic.  However, stretch charmeuse is difficult for even the tiniest of women to pull off without weird bumps and lines.

pam

I’m not sure if you are familiar with the term, FUPA, but that is what this is.  Might I introduce you to Spanx?  Listen, no one can rock a one piece the way Pam used to, but sometimes we need to come to terms with getting older and needing to wear shaping undergarments.  No shame in that.

I’m sure it is difficult for a beautiful woman once known as a sex symbol to age, but I sincerely hope that Pam starts to tone it down and age gracefully.  Not going to hold my breath, but it’s a nice thought.

Why Did You Wear That: Just When I Thought It Couldn’t Get Any Worse

Dear sweet lord…. tell me this isn’t happening.

man-leggings

Has my worst nightmare just multiplied by a billion? Men…in…leggings?  This has got to be some sort of sick joke the fashion world is playing, right?  My friend sent me a link this morning that has confirmed my biggest fears.  Apparently, several designers sent men in leggings down the runways.  Weren’t skinny jeans enough for you?  I mean, that was pushing it, but leggings???

man-leggings3

Men of the world, I beg of you, please do not fall victim to this trend.  There is nothing sexy about this.  Chicks will not dig this.  You will not appear fashion forward or trendy.  Let women worry about panty lines and no pockets.  There are some things men and women just should not share.  Leggings happen to be one of them.
