How To Get A Beautiful Firm Round Butt In A Box By Bremenn Labs

Butt Lift in a Box.

We kid you not. That is the name of a new beauty body product by Bremenn Research Labs. The same folks who brought you popular Hylexin for serious, dark undereye circles and Lumedia for brightening skin tone.

It's a 3-step system that will, er, 're-model your rump.' Inside the box, for $99, you receive:

• Plumping Catalyst, 4 oz.

• Lifting and Firming Emulsion, 4oz.

• Exercise Booklet • Exercise Band

Victoria's Secret, Dillard's, and Sephora, are just three out of many popular places, where we found this butt lifter.

So, what's in the ingredients? Skin smoothers like peptide-based topical creams. These formulas help reduce the appearance of cellulite, and provide a firming look to the rear, at least temporarily.

Does it work effectively......in other words....can you 'create' a killer butt with Butt in a Box?

Well, we couldn't find any customer reviews anywhere. So we will be watching, from behind, so to speak. But let's be honest.....we are a country that is obsessed with a firm round butt! Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, Kim Kardashian. Need we say more?!

This is how Bremenn Reasearch Labs explains the reason for developing their Butt Lift in a Box:

"Over time, our bottoms are assaulted by a combination of skin flaccidity, loss of muscle tone, and the redistribution of fat in the underlying tissue matrix. Surgery can help by removing excess skin to lift sagging buns or by plumping up a deflated rear end with buttock-rounding implants."

Bremenn Labs' product claims to deliver:

"This amazing Butt-Lifting Kit not only helps reduce the appearance of cellulite, but it restores a youthful, head-turning roundness as it "plumps up" even the saggiest of rear ends."

By the way, Bremenn Reasearch Labs has also introduced 2 more new beauty body products: Boob Job in a Box and Tummy Tuck in a Box. For real.

Meet Simon Cowell's Idol Mezhgan And Her Me Makeup Line

Her name is Mezhgan Hussainy and her popular makeup line is called Me. And she just happens to be Simon Cowell's 'idol.'

Okay, maybe we're being corny here, but American Idol's Simon Cowell is quite smitten with the 36-year-old Afghan beauty. In fact, Simon introduced the world to his fiance last night on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Of course, Simon was coy and playful and didn't exactly indicate when he would marry his Idol makeup artist. But it's nice to see a happy celebrity couple.

Mezhgan, pronounced 'Mish-gone,' knows a lot about makeup. She is the makeup artist to Idol judges Simon and Randy Jackson, and has used her talent to create beautiful faces on contestant after contestant on the hit show. She joined American Idol on Season 2, and has been there ever since.

Adam Lambert, who won't go anywhere without his fab eyeliner, raves about Mezhgan's Me makeup line.
"He loves it because it doesn’t smudge," she says. "He’s always talking about it on red carpets. I should give him a lifetime supply."

Mezhgan has a very interesting and brave background. Her family escaped from Afghanistan in 1979 and later settled in Los Angeles, where Mezhgan did some modeling, and started going to dental school. And then, eventually ended up with a super career as a makeup artist, as she tells the dailygab.com:

"The irony for me is that, in my country, once the Taliban took over, women couldn’t even show their face or put on makeup," Mezhgan says. "And here I was doing exactly that on the No. 1 show. I realized how important that was; [Makeup] is part of being a woman, and it does give you self-assurance and confidence. In a way, you’re ready to conquer the world."

You can take a look at her Me makeup line here. There are lots of products designed for face, eyes, lips, and cheeks, and a nice assortment of makeup bushes. We especially like Me's variety of undereye concealers and bronzers.

When you think about it, Mezhgan Hussainy is the face of Idol.

Up-Dos And Buns And Red Lips Shine At 2010 Academy Awards

Up-dos and buns were everywhere gracing the red carpet at last night's Academy Awards show. Oscar winner Sandra Bullock was one of the few lovely ladies who wore her hair down. Stylist Frederic Fekkai chose to create a simple and sleek straight-down do with a strong side part, which is hot for 2010. A slight wave at the bottom completed the look.

Most of Hollywood chose to wear their hair pulled back, up and away from the face. Not an easy look to pull off for everyone, but beauties like Nicole Richie, Zoe Saldana, and Jennifer Lopez certainly wore it well.

Nicole Richie was sporting an elegant ballerina bun, which stylists have shown on the runways for the new year. It's a sophisticated and refined look, and turns the spotlight on one's features beautifully.

Jennifer Lopez opted for a 'messier' up-do, with a few wispy tendrils peeking out, which still showed off her sexy side. And of course, statuesque beauty Charlize Theron wowed the crowd with a side-parted do, softly tucked behind in back.

As far as the Academy Award makeup styles, red lips were hot, and Sandra Bullock and Charlize were not shy about putting on a very bold lip. You can't tell by the photo of Sandra here, but those lips were dark red on the television screen.

There were mainly softer lips in pale, neutral shades on most celebrities last evening. Zoe, Nicole, and Jennifer chose a stronger eye, instead. Amazing cat eye makeup. Just look at Nicole Richie. Her eyes are mesmerizing. Absolutely stunning. It appears to be a silver eyeshadow with a black liquid liner.

And as you know, Jennifer Lopez loves to highlight her cheekbones. And once again, her makeup is perfectly applied. Makeup artist Matthew Vanleeuween used NARS Orgasm Illuminator to achieve those highly defined cheekbones.

Here's the rest of the beauty breakdown of NARS cosmetics used to create Jennifer's flawless face:

Enchanted Cream Blush

Desire Blush

Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base

D. Gorgeous Single Eyeshadow

Brousse Duo Eyeshadow

Larger Than Life Volumizing Mascara

Cruising Lipstick

Sweet Dreams Lip Gloss

Beauty On A Budget Buy: New N.Y.C. Blushable Creme Stick

Beauty on a budget. You know you like it. Who doesn't want an excellent beauty product that won't break your wallet? That's why we were attracted to a new blush by drugstore favorite, N.Y.C. New York Color.

It's called, N.Y.C. Blushable Creme Stick ($2.99, drugstores...Rite Aid, Walgreens).

We think it's a great little blush in a stick. It's a cream, not a powder. It glides on smoothly and actually lasts for a few hours. And the Blushable Creme Stick comes in 6 shades.

The consistency is very creamy. And thankfully not frosty or shimmery like some other cheap drugstore brands. It looks natural and there is a light sheen, and you can build on it, or layer it stronger. Try it in Plaza Pink, a soft, peachy/pink shade.

Even reality star Kim Kardashian carries the new N.Y.C.'s Blushable Creme Stick in her makeup bag for those red carpet evenings. Kim told OK magazine that it's definitely in her bag:

"This is a super blendable blush that can act as a lipstick in case I need a touch-up."

Remember this ladies: Blush is the most important makeup to put on, even when you're rushing out the door, with little time to do your face. It enhances bone structure and gives the face a warmth and brightness. That little beauty nugget comes from legendary makeup artist Sandy Linter.

How To Get Rid Of Stubborn Belly Fat Naturally With Chlorophyll

Stubborn belly fat. It's a nusiance and it isn't pretty.

Chlorophyll equals flat belly. How can that be? Isn't chlorophyll the stuff that makes leaves and grass green?!

Yes! And according to the dietary experts, chlorophyll acts like a mild laxative and encourages the liver into becoming a better fat-burning machine. The green pigment is also full of magnesium which helps to balance blood sugar and melt away stubborn belly fat. Chlorophyll is also high in vitamin and mineral content.

Ann Louise Gittleman, PhD, and an award-winning author of 30 books, tells First for Women magazine that, "the best absorbed form (of chlorophyll) is a liquid extract mixed with water." She suggests a twice daily drink of 1 tsp. of chlorophyll in 8 oz. of water.

Dr. Gittleman likes Sunny Green Liquid Chlorophyll ($13, 16 oz., at health-food stores).

Just one key note to consider: If stools become too loose, reduce dose to 1/2 tsp. of cholorophyll in 8 oz., twice daily.

Did you know that a glass of wheat grass juice has lots of chlorophyll in it? From what we learned, it is nearly 70% chlorophyll. If you examine chlorophyll's basic chemical compound, it matches the human hemoglobin almost perfectly. This in turn, gives the body excellent healing and nutritional value.

And lettuce (and other raw leafy green vegetables) is also another great source of chlorophyll for more natural ways of burning stubborn belly fat.

Before adding a liquid chlorophyll to your diet, please check with your doctor, especially if your are pregnant or have diabetes.
