Rather than get monotonous, let’s take a look at this week’s most stunning ‘do’s that were DO’s. Sometimes a perfectly beautiful dress can be ruined by scraggly strands, but these ladies are polished from head to toe!

  1. January Jones sporting a sleek top knot (and a sexy back dress!) at a fundraiser in London.
  2. Lauren Conrad looks lovely at the VH1 Save the Music Foundation Gala with a sweet side knot. 
  3. Kate Hudson at the Glamour Women of The Year Awards sporting some very classic Hollywood curls.

Beauty Buzz: Five Minute Face

By |November 11th, 2010|Beauty Buzz|

Seeing as most of us are not movie stars or celebrities, there is no need to walk around with a cake face of perfect makeup on a daily basis. However, there is also no need to look like a walking zombie. To arrive at a happy  medium, follow these five easy steps with five fantastic products that will have you fresh faced and out the door in five minutes.

  1. After cleansing your face and applying your favorite moisturizer, it’s time to smooth out any flaws (as if you have any!). A tinted moisturizer or a mineral powder to cover up shine are great options.Philosophy The Supernatural Airbrushed Canvas SPF 15, $35
  2. Once you’re all smooth and seamless, it’s times to add a little color to those cheeks. My favorites still remain Benefit Benetint ($28) and Nars The Multiple in Orgasm . Nars The Multiple in Orgasm, $38
  3. Now that you’re glowing, it’s time to focus on your beautiful peepers. Added bonus of Nars The Multiple? It can be used on your lids! Once you’ve smoothed some color onto your lids, it’s time to define your brows. Revlon ColorStay Brow Enhancer, $8.99
  4. Finish off your eyes by brushing on a coat of  your favorite mascara. Dior Show is a tried and true.
    Dior Dior Show Blackout Mascara, $24
  5. Last, but most definitely not least, pucker up. (Bonus time: Benetint can also be used on your lips for a berry stained pout). Slick on your favorite gloss and you’re good to go!

Fusion Beauty LipFusion Lip Plumper, $38

Ciao, bella!

Beauty Buzz: Squeaky Clean

By |November 4th, 2010|Beauty Buzz|

We all have some trouble spots on our skin from time to time. Whether it be that “time of the month” or just stress, no one likes a blemish stealing the show. Sometimes it seems no matter what spot treatments or face wash we use, our skin just doesn’t get clean! This may be old news to some but Clarisonic makes a true skin miracle worker. Yes, they are the same people who brought you sonic toothbrushes and they  have figured out how to harness that technology to work wonders for your flesh.

Leaving a drippy, damp washcloth hanging around your bathroom is a) unattractive and b) unsanitary (mold anyone?). Using Clarisonic with your daily facial cleanser removes six times as much dirt, oil, and makeup as manual cleaning. Not only that, it increases your skin’s ability to absorb all the fancy lotions and potions you use after washing your face making a washcloth a thing of the past.

The trick is to be sure to use the correct brushes for your skin type (if you have sensitive skin, use the sensitive brush, etc.). And just like all good things, you can overdo it.  While it is a bit pricey, there is a great ROI (return on investment- see I was paying attention in class). Your skin will thank you for it.

Clarisonic Classic Sonic Skin Cleansing System, $195

See ya later, sweetcheeks!

Beauty Buzz: A Hair Raising Experience

I’ve gotten a little poll crazy today (and no, not POLE crazy like the girls of Scores). It seems the ladies of tinseltown have gone a little lock crazy changing their hair color, chopping off length, and well, just looking a little crazy. Behold…

UGH. Katherine Heigl. What the eff? What happened? Something bad? Normally she has such luscious locks but, this looks more like Cabbage Patch Hair! In this photo, she looks unrecognizable to me.

After recently celebrating a birthday, newlywed Hilary Duff is photographed here leaving the hair salon and sporting a new hue. Personally? I love it. I think it’s a really flattering color on her. Lookin’ good, Duff.

Here’s Harry Potter’s Emma Watson making her way to class at Brown sporting some noticeably shorter hair. Um… K. Stew, I don’t think you have anything to worry about. Her hair is even shorter than R. Patz’s.

Beauty Buzz: Moody Nudes

Boy, do I love a black nail, but I’m kind of tiring of seeing girls wear it in an attempt to be “edgy” or “vampy.” My bf bought me an amazing shade by OPI for Sephora called “Never Enough Shoes.” It’s mixture of black lacquer with a sprinkle of glitter (double win in my book), but when I bore of looking like all the rest of you, I will most certainly switch to these muted nude tones from Chanel:

chanel-fashions-night-out-nail-polishes-khaki-rose-khaki-brun-khaki-vert-thumb-500x369-64901Les Khakis de Chanel are the perfect fall transitional colors sure to go with all trends for fall… from animal print to minimalist silhouettes. So, if you want to stand out in the loud crowd of onyx tips, brush on on these muted colors and just … shut. up.
