Buy A Real Non-Surgical Nose Job For $34.95??


Okay, we have to be honest here. We are mildly fascinated by this pair of small, weird-looking, but flexible nose splints, called the Nose Secret.

Yes, indeed. " A cosmetic nose corrector that works!"
At least, that is what their website claims. And you can 'buy' a non-surgical nose job for only $34.95 (3 prs., and free shipping, http://www.nosesecret.com/.

The photos above look good. No, we can't prove the 'before and after' photos aren't from real surgical nose jobs or rhinoplasty, as the correct medical term is used. The website claims these are photos depicting the altered noses wearing Nose Secret.

Apparently, Nose Secret has been in business for more than 20 years, with international success. The product is now available here in the United States. The company explains that these small splints can save you lots of money and comfort from rhinoplasty surgery, and can give you results immediately. And they suggest---really wonderful results. A prettier profile:

"The Nose Secret corrector consists of a pair of smooth and comfortable splints that are temporarily placed in the nostrils to gently lift the tip of the nose resulting in a narrower and straighter look that enhances your facial features. Since the product is not visible when in place, nobody can tell you are using them(see photo above.)

Its anatomic form and flexible material allow easy adjustment without discomfort. The best part is that you can put them on and take them off whenever you want.

Nose Secret comes in three different sizes, small, medium and large to optimize fit and comfort."

We are sure that most rhinoplasty specialists would be steering people away from this flexible nose corrector. We do not believe that Nose Secret is harmful to your nose, but whether it really alters one's nose appearance, is another thing.

We're just bringing you some information in the world of beauty. Maybe we can do a follow-up article in the future and sit down with a real nose surgeon to get his take on the odd, but intriguing little non-surgical nose job device.

In the meantime, you are on your own. Place in nose, at your own risk. We'd be curious to know if there are any proud Nose Secret wearers out there.

Nestle Introduces Non-Chocolate Beauty Drink























Nope. These ain't your mama's Nestle's Toll House Cookies. Not even close.

Can you believe that the longtime chocolate makers/food and beverage giants have now gone into the beauty biz?!!

Yes, it's true. Nestle has introduced a beauty drink called, Glowelle.

Nestle claims their drinkable fountain of youth will deliver" nourishment and hydration to the skin." And it also works overtime to fight the signs of aging.

Looking pretty ain't cheap, either. The colorful bottled Nestle beauty drinks come in 2 flavors:
Glowelle Rapsberry Jasmine and Glowelle Pomegranate Lychee. Each bottle costs $7.

High-end department stores like Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus have already stocked up on the anti-aging fighters. And both stores have been handing out free Glowelle samples to passersby.

And so far, some women say the drinks are just not palatable. One women claimed the drink tasted like watered down perfume. One tossed hers down the drain. Another said to stick only to the Pomegranate Lychee, and not to even try the Raspberry Jasmine.

Gee, are these Nestle beauty drinks that awful? You would figure that the chocolate kings could come up with a smoother-tasting beauty beverage?

Well, we've all heard this one before: "You must suffer to be beautiful."

Okay, then, 'bottoms up!'

Directions say, to drink one Glowelle bottle a day for a month, to see a difference in skin. That runs up to $210 a month, according to my math. Yikes.

For more information, Nestle has created a website for their new anti-aging drink. Visit: http://www.glowelle.com/.

Add FitFlax To Diet And Crunch Your Way To Skinny




Our readers sometimes drop me a personal email and beg me to find them new ways to lose weight and get on a healthy diet.

Well, here's a wonderful new diet item to add to your weight loss battle plan. It's crunchy and tastes like sesame seeds. And it's so simple to use. No pills to pop that make you shaky all over. No powder mixes that taste chalky, either.

It's called FitFlax by SmartThingz ($12.95, http://www.smartthingz.com/). It's been written up in magazines like O, and weight loss experts have given it the thumbs up, too.

What we like about FitFlax---it's a food. You can eat it. And it tastes delicious. Try it on peanut butter and crackers. And it's gluten-free.

FitFlax is ready to eat and consists of whole seeds made of roasted golden flax with chia. It's got lots of good-for-you reasons to crunch and munch these seeds, according to their website:

Our proprietary blend & unique roasting process promotes weight loss, energy & wellness.

FitFlax™ delivers greater Omega-3, protein, fiber and antioxidants than conventional flax products.

No more grinding! Enjoy healthy FitFlax™ straight from the bag!

Our special roasting process enhances both the quality and the natural nutty taste of the seeds. Toss it on salad, mix it in yogurt, sprinkle it on practically anything to add taste, texture and fiber!

We also love this product for the super healthy ways it can improve your body, and we're not talking, just for losing weight. FitFlax can make sure you are functioning properly inside and out:

Lowers blood pressure + cholesterol
Increases metabolic rate
Promotes lean muscle mass
Reduces Body Fat
Promotes healthy skin
Reduces cravings for sweets + junk foods
Promotes regularity + colon health
Stabilizes blood sugar

High in soluble + insoluble fiber
Improves cardiovascular health
Reduces risk of cancer

Now, that's a pretty decent list of why you should try FitFlax, as you crunch your way to skinny.

Hef And The Girls Next Door With A Nude Pam Anderson



The girls are back with a very naked Pamela Anderson balancing a birthday cake on a tray, wearing only a pair of high heels.

We're talking about the very popular E! network reality television show, The Girls Next Door, that launches its 5th season at 10 PM tonight.

Cameras follow Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner around and his 3 girlfriends--Kendra, Holly, and Bridget. Tonight's premiere episode takes place at the Playboy Club in the Palms Casino Hotel in Las Vegas. The former Playmate and Baywatch star Pamela Anderson surprises Hugh Hefner at his 82nd birthday.

No, we do not watch The Girls Next Door. Okay, maybe once or twice we have.

You must be thinking, what beauty tip today, could we be talking about??

Alright, maybe Pamela Anderson walking around shamelessly naked is kind of raunchy, but who are we to judge?

We just heard one of Hef's girls next door, we can't remember which one, but we believe it was Holly, who said that, "Pam Anderson has NO cellulite, anywhere on her body."

Now that is amazing. First, Pamela Anderson is 41-years-old. Second, she is a mother of two. To look that good at that age, and not have any cellulite and to be confident to walk around naked in a room full of people, well, that is gutsy. No, we weren't there to see if Holly were exaggerating, but we will take her word that Pamela Anderson is cellulite-free.

The beauty tip today: Enjoy your body. Be proud of yourself, especially over age 35. You can still have a nice figure if you work hard at it. No, you don't have to have a double D bra size to look good. And if you have some dimpled pockets of fat, you are not alone. About 90% of women have cellulite.

A List Of Beyonce's Favorite Beauty Things

Beautiful Beyonce Knowles needs no introduction. Not only is she a spokesmodel for L'Oreal Cosmetics, Beyonce is also a gifted singer, actress, and clothing designer.

And Beyonce always looks so sexy and healthy, a woman unafraid to flaunt her curves in a Hollywood world of size zeroes.

Of course, we would all love to know what's inside Beyonce's makeup bag. How does she keep looking gorgeous?!

Beyonce recently told In Style magazine that when she's hanging out at home, she keeps it real and simple. Just a little pink lip gloss and some black eyeliner.

We had heard a few weeks ago, that Beyonce is a big fan of moisturizers from 1. Carol's Daughter. And who could blame her, with soft, smooth body butter in Jamaican Punch and Mango Melange.($18 each, http://www.carolsdaughter.com/).

And Beyonce of course, loves anything by legendary designer Giorgio Armani, for whom she is also a spokesperson for. She launched his fragrance with great applause---2. Emporio Armani Diamonds Intense ($50, fine dept. stores)

"This perfume has a feminine, glamorous quality that I love," Beyonce told In Style magazine.

The striking diva also has long, lovely hair. It seems like Beyonce has never had a bad hair day. She keeps her strands in tip-top shape with 3. Kimble Hair Care Shape and Hold Spritz ($11, 8 fl. oz., dept. stores like Target).

"I like products that help me care for my hair," Beyonce told the magazine.

And like most of us makeup junkies out there, Beyonce won't go anywhere without her eyes, so to speak. She adores 4. L'Oreal Original Voluminous Mascara ($8, drugstores).

"I never leave the house without mascara," Beyonce explained to In Style's editors.

Amen to that, Miss Beyonce! Neither do we, in case anyone is mildly interested.

So how does she get that sexy, dark eye? With 5. Mally Beauty City Chick Smokey Eye Kit
($40, http://www.qvc.com/).

"It's so easy to use, because the colors are put together for you," Beyonce says.

The last item she listed as her top must-have, is 6. Girogio Armani Fluid Sheer ($55, fine dept. stores).

She says this little product goes a long way in giving her complexion a healthy boost. "I mix this highlighter with foundation for an extra glow."

Sure, the glamorous Beyonce has makeup artists for those gala events, but she has also done her own makeup for red carpet evenings when the timing was tight. So we salute you Beyonce, and thanks for sharing some of your favorite beauty things.

Budget Friendly Wrinkle Erasers For Smoother Skin




So you can't get to your derm for some much-needed, wrinkle-relaxing, stinging shots of Botox. Those fine lines and creases are really bugging you. Is there a quick-fix solution? Can you smooth out your wrinkles at home?!

Yes. You won't get as good a result as a typical Botox session, but you can stimulate some of the wonderful effects of Botox and fillers for a few hours, with a fast trip to the corner drugstore.

There are 2 new wrinkle erasers on the market for you to try:
Olay Regenerist Filling + Sealing wrinkle treatment ($19).
24.7 Skincare Smooth & Go Immediate Skin Perfector ($30).

Try and think of these wrinkle erasers as spackle. Yup. Spackle. The stuff works the same way---filling in small cracks and plumping up the texture. That's exactly what these topical line fillers do. Your face will look a lot smoother and younger and a bit plumper. The fine lines and wrinkles will be softened, at least temporarily.

And the price is quite affordable with these 2 new beauty products by Olay and 24.7 Skincare. The formulas feature advanced and concentrated ingredients like GABA, vitamin C, and herbal extracts. These all help to diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, undereye circles, large pores, laugh lines, etc. You end up with a more flawless complexion.

New York dermatologist, Jeanette Graf, gives these wrinkle erasers her seal of approval.
"You'll see an immediate 30 to 50 percent reduction in lines," Graf explains. But the effects don't last for weeks. It only works as long as it's on. But, as Graf says, "Who cares?"

So if you have that important place to be and really wish to put your best face forward, why not try these budget friendly wrinkle erasers?
