Dolce & Gabbana Launch Sexy Sicilian Lace Makeup Collection For Fall 2010







Italian designers Dolce &Gabbana have done it again! Think black lace and timeless, nude makeup.

We're already excited about the lots and lots of black lace throughout the Dolce & Gabbana Fall Fashion Campaign for 2010. Madonna is featured throughout the clever, vintage-looking ads.

And D & G have created a sexy 'Sicilian Lace Makeup Collection' to beautifully enhance the delicate and classic lace fabrics dominating their autumn style. The limited edition makeup hits fine dept. stores in mid-August.

Don't look for anything bold and vibrant here. The color story is all awash in sexy nudes. Think sandy beaches and neutral tones like beige and gold. It's a barely there, quiet, sun-kissed palette.

The Dolce & Gabbana Sicilian Lace Makeup Collection for Fall 2010 includes:
1. Bronzer ($49). Beautifully imprinted with a delicate and lovely floral lace pattern.
2. 2 Lipsticks and Lip Gloss($30, apiece).
3. Nail Lacquer ($20).
4. Nude Eyeshadow Quad ($59)..

We adore this newest D & G makeup collection. It's modern and classic at the same time, and looks even more radiant with a summer tan.

Runways Have Spoken: Thin Skinny Belts Are In For Fall Fashion 2010


Thin is in, when it comes to belts for fall 2010!

We are certainly sweating it out in the dog days of summer right now, but.....school is fast approaching, and you might want to check out the fashion trends that are knocking on your doorstep, ladies. In a couple of months, a cozy, thick sweater might be just the thing to curl up into. That, along with a beautiful, thin belt.

The runways have spoken, and hot designers like Marc Jacobs and VPL were getting the skinny on the thin belt trend for fall 2010.

No. You don't have to spend a few thousand on a decent, trendy skinny belt. If you shop around, you will find lots and lots of thin belts in many materials and colors and textures.

We found a great one at Nine West. It's called the Skinny Patent Studded Belt ($34). It's on back-order until 10/12, but you can pre-order it now.

This really cute skinny belt comes in black only and features an adjustable length with buckle closure. Approximately 1" wide.

And that's about how skinny thin we're talking about. And inch in width or so, makes for the perfect thin belt trend.

Check out stores and designers like the GAP, Ann Taylor, Calvin Klein, Kenneth Cole, and so on. We came up with snakeskin texture, suede, metallic, animal prints, leather, rivets, grommets, and a whole lot more.

Everyone looks tailored and classy wearing a thin skinny belt. It's not an over-powering look, either. It's quite timeless. I'd say, "It's time to go shopping!"

NJ Housewife Teresa Becomes New Face Of Tanning Salon


Reality TV star Teresa Giudice of the 'Real Housewives of New Jersey,' is really sizzling these days.

The bankrupt beauty has signed on as the new face for Sizzle Tans, which has salon tanning branches in Totowa, East Hanover and Parsippany, N.J.

In fact, the dark-haired mom of four little girls is being featured on billboards across the 'Garden State. Her entire tanned face and body will be seen by many, many people.

Teresa and her husband have racked up some $11 million in debt, so the reality star is just trying to pay the rent. The Giudices filed last October, and revealed to everyone, that they are planning to sell their personal belongings in a public auction on August 22. According to papers filed in Newark Federal Court, the Guidices claim to only make $79,000 a year between the two of them, and are unable to handle the foreclosures and huge credit card bills.

As far as Sizzle Tans go, "She's the face of our company," owner Rob Hornung told People Magazine. Sizzle Tans will run the ad on 10 networks. "She did a really good job shooting the commercial. She spent all day doing it. She's a great person," he added.

Teresa Giudice has a beautiful figure and we are sure, she will do the company proud. We aren't wild about indoor tanning salons. In fact, research shows that the damage to the skin from indoor and outdoor tanning, especially those of young women, is quite significant.

No one needs a long lecture here, but the statistics for women aged 15-39 are alarming. Studies show that deadly skin cancer is on the rise for younger women, but not for younger men. Cases of melanoma among women have jumped some 50%, according to a study published on July 10, 2008 by the Journal of Investigative Dermatology.

We can only hope that Teresa Giudice isn't really using the tanning bed but using a tanning spray to get that gorgeous golden glow. Perhaps, she is just modeling for Sizzle Tans but not actively lying down absorbing all those harmful rays.

Meantime, it hasn't been easy for the 20,000 tanning salons located throughout the country. The salons were thrown under the bus last summer, with a 10% tax on indoor tanning.

Demi Quits Maple Syrup Diet For 21 Day Clean Detox To Drop Pounds

At 47, Demi Moore is in superb shape. But apparently, she still wants to drop some pounds, so the actress is tweeting about her latest diet dilemma.

Demi claims that she only lasted 4 days on the popular maple syrup, cayenne pepper, and lemon (yuck) diet drink, known as the 10-day Master Cleanse.

We don't blame Demi Moore. We would not have lasted, either.

If you look at the photo, you can see that Demi doesn't need to lose any major poundage. Here she is on the May 2010 cover of Elle Magazine(United Kingdom). She appears as youthful and slender as ever.

At the moment, according to Demi's tweets on Twitter, the actress is on a new cleanse-detox diet. And this one lets you eat real food. It's called the 21 Day Clean Program:

'2day’s day 13 4me on The Clean Program!' Demi tweeted
on Tuesday.

Gwyneth Paltrow is a big fan of cleanse-detox diets, having blogged about going on a few to drop pounds and restore her digestive system.

The Clean Program was developed by a cardiologist, Dr. Alejandro Junger. And the dietary program looks sensible to us----consisting of a shake for breakfast and dinner, and a lunch that combines one vegetable, one grain and one protein.

If you would like to diet like Demi, and get 'your clean on,' it's available for $350. According to the Clean Program website, it's a 3-week diet-detox.

"The Clean Program is a 21 day detox program that is specifically designed for the person on the move. Unlike traditional cleanses, you need not stay at home while you detox on the Clean Program. This cleanse is designed for those who want to live their life and still get Clean."

Bridal Buzz About Chelsea Clinton And That Funny-Looking Hat




All eyes are on Chelsea Clinton. The 30-year-old President's daughter is keeping her fans guessing about 99% of the details surrounding her Saturday nuptials. We do know that the wedding tents are now up at the Astor Courts in Rhinebeck, NY., a 50-acre private mansion/estate. This is where the bride will marry her groom, Wall Street whiz kid, Marc Mezvinsky.

The wedding price tag? Some sources report anywhere from $1 million to $3 million.

So what's the newest bridal buzz about Chelsea Clinton?!

Well, it appears to us, that she's hiding an elaborate braided up-do underneath that ridiculously, huge hat. She was snapped wearing the $80 Raffia Sun Hat by Hat Attack recently, heading into the Vera Wang showroom for a hair and makeup trial that she didn't want anyone to preview. And no, it's not a ruse......Chelsea will wear an exclusively-designed Vera Wang bridal gown.

As far as makeup goes, we are wondering if the bride will keep her signature natural look. Nothing heavily applied, but waterproof makeup is always handy for tears of joy and constant kissing,and the champagne toasts. No smudging makeup, please!! And we are most certain that Chelsea and her mom, Hillary, the Secretary of State, will both have a professional makeup artist creating their wedding day faces.

Check out makeup artist, Kandee Johnson's wedding day makeup primer on YouTube. She shows you how to get the job done on your own, because not every gal can afford a professional makeup artist on one of the most important days of her life.

By the way, you can buy the Chelsea Raffia Sun Hat here.

Angelina Jolie Gets A Leg Up On Hollywood's Leading Ladies




Angelina Jolie.

Talk about getting a leg up.....The woman looks incredible as she makes her unforgettable entrance in a black, dramatic, Versace chiffon gown to the Salt premiere Tuesday in Tokyo.

The busy mom of six cutie-pies, has been making a world tour of her action-thriller flick Salt. She sure has. by reportedly earning $20 million for this movie.

We brought you a few of Angelina's diet and fitness tips here at Beauty Tip Today in an article last Saturday.

Now, let's take a closer look at the glamour of 35-year-old Angelina Jolie. Let's be honest....this is one hot Versace gown. It's a backless beauty. A few days ago, the sexy star wore black leather. Angelina's style is modern and edgy.

The British press has had a field day with Angelina's 'vein-bulging Madonna arms'. Big deal! The actress had a grueling training program for her cinematic role as Evelyn Salt, a CIA agent on the run. She performed most of her stunts. We are happy to see that she is in such amazing shape. Angelina Jolie still looks flawless. No one is 100% perfect.

We like Angelina's makeup and trademark cat-eyes. Her look is always dewy and natural.

Here are some of the products her makeup artists have used to create her global appeal:

1. Lancome Le Crayon Kohl in Black Ebony (for lining eyes with definition and creating sexy cat-eyes)
2. Lancome Oscillation Mascara (for long, lush black lashes)
3. Shu Uemura Blush in M Pink 31 (for softness, a warm pink color)
4. Lancome Juicy Tubes in Spring Fling (for beautifully shiny lips with a hint of color)
