Body Brushing And Brown Sugar Body Scrub Perfect In February

A daily dose of good hard body brushing and showering with a heavenly brown sugar body scrub. Just incorporating these 2 simple beauty steps in your routine, can give you back softer, smoother skin. And it's time to step up the exfoliation during the cruel month of February.

Yeah, it's winter, and the air is dry and cold. And it's time to 'Feed your skin,' ladies.

Step #1. Before showering, it's very beneficial to dry body brush. Great for the dimpled derriere and other cellulite-prone areas...like thighs, upper arms, and belly.

Says who? Anushka.

Anushka who operates the world-renown Cosmedical Centre, Spa, Salon & Cellulite Clinics in New York City, has been an authority on cellulite and its prevention for more than 3 decades. And her wonderful website AnushkaOnline features cellulite treatments, target exercises, nutritional recipes, the ABC's of cellulite, and more.

Circulation can really help tone down cellulite and bring back smooth, taut skin:

Keep moving.....Anushka's a firm believer in taking a large natural bristle brush, and using the brush daily to give those areas special attention. "Dry brushing helps eliminate dead skin cells which make the skin look smoother. And it also improves lymph and blood circulation. I recommend a soft, natural bristle brush. Start at your feet and continue upwards in a circular motion towards the heart. Use once a day."

Step #2. Showering with a wonderful body scrub/polish completes the body exfoliation process. Try Fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish Treatment ($65, 140z. tub, at Sephora).

This is a super gentle and effective body scrub. Every body should exfoliate. Your skin needs to get rid of dry skin cells and rough patches, especially at elbows, knees, and feet. But you also need to bring the moisture back, And this invigorating body polish by Fresh, does just that with almond oil and other all-natural ingredients like ginger root extract, peppermint, and citrus oils.

Perform Steps #1 and #2 daily, and your body will thank you.

Khloe And Lamar Nude In New Ad Launching 'Unbreakable' Fragrance

Khloe Kardashian, you naughty girl!

What can we say....Advertising pros will tell you that sex sells. Well, we're not so sure after seeing Khloe and husband Lamar Odom stripping all the way down, to promote their new unisex fragrance called, 'Unbreakable.'

Folks, the couple is indeed nude, naked, without clothes in the ad, caught here on YouTube. We think it's tacky and pretty arrogant, in our humble opinion.

We do like the idea of a unisex fragrance, however. The great Calvin Klein introduced us all to his own, CK One back in 1994. And that was big beauty news during that promotional blitz. The designer no longer sells CK One.

It's not easy developing a unisex fragrance, or one that appeals to both women and men. But maybe Khloe and Lamar have a super scent in Unbreakable. We'll just have to wait and see how sales go. The fragrance has just debuted.

Was the nudity necessary? Apparently, the couple loves to see themselves naked and wants to share that, and oh yeah, their new fragrance, with the world.

We wish the happy and attractive couple all the best, but think the nude Khloe and Lamar is a bit much, in addition to the married pair's own new reality show coming soon.

There are many other ways to sell fragrance in a sexy, even sexual way, but this is just too tacky. What do you think? Are we just being a prude?

2011 Grammys Go Green With Eyeliner Edgy Modern Look

Green eyeliner/green eyeshadow was the hot edgy makeup trend at last night's Grammy Awards 2011. It was glittery green for Nicki Minaj with her scorching hot pink lips. Or it was a colorful green blend for Katy Perry. And Ciara was rocking a green lined undereye.

Okay, maybe Nicki's makeup presentation was a bit over-the-top, but then again, we're talking about Nicki Minaj, and she's never been one to shy away from grabbing the spotlight. So if it were glittery green turquoise, then that's what we got.

Meantime, you can wear green eyeliner and green eye shadow. You can go dark green like Katy Perry. Or you can soften the look with a nude palette like Ciara did last evening along with a teal-colored eyeliner.

When it comes to green makeup, a little goes a long way. And we like how Ciara used a subtle touch of liner and shadow under the eyes.

Soft is the key when it comes to pulling off green eyeshadow and green liner. Allow your eyes to be the focus. By the way, green and brown eyes look delicious together. But makeup pros agree that any eye color and skin tone can wear green quite beautifully, especially if it is in the teal shade.

LashDip: Latest Long Lash Trend Lasts Up To 6 Weeks

Long, thick, curled lashes. It takes a lot of work just to achieve a beautiful frame for your eyes. And yet we women go through the mascara, eyeliner, and sometimes faux lashes routine every day, before we head out the door.

Look at sexy Kim Kardashian. She always has a professional makeup artist creating her red carpet entrance with those over-the-top luscious false lashes. But the process wastes many moments of precious time.

The latest beauty trend is called LashDip, and you can find the treatment at your favorite spa and salon.

So, what exactly is it?

We'd say, probably one of the best new beauty breakthroughs for 2011. And here's what the LashDip website says:

The Future of EYELASH ENHANCEMENT.
LashDip is an innovative cosmetic application that is poised to revolutionize the mascara industry. "Dipping" your lashes just once allows you to maintain gorgeous, beautifully sculpted, semi-permanent painted lashes for up to 6 weeks!
♦ Low Maintenance, High Style.
♦ Wake Up Beautiful.
♦ Cut Your Makeup Routine In Half.
♦ No Hassling With Mascara.
♦ Shower, Swim, Sweat.

This sounds like a super beauty treatment. It takes about an hour, and costs about $200. A professional makeup artist peforms the procedure, coating each, individual lash with the LashDip formula. Each lash is lengthened, thickened, and curled, just like traditional mascara. The results are stunning. Just look at the before and after photos above.

You cannot perform the LashDip treatment by yourself at home. You need a pro. But the stuff is very safe----no aniline or formaldehyde. "LashDip is pharmaceutical grade, hypoallergenic, and is composed of the purest ingredients available."

Just think.....you wake up to long, thick, curled lashes every day for up to 6 weeks. And you can rush out the door without mascara, and look glam 24/7. Gotta love LashDip.

Lindsay Lohan OD's On Large Lips Look Once Again

We've written several times before, about celebrities and their beauty obsession with the large lips look. And as we learned before, there are only 2 methods for achieving larger lips----by injecting or surgically implanting materials into the lips.

And we hate to pick on actress Lindsay Lohan who has recently finished her stint in rehab. But, we couldn't help notice her larger-than-life lips in the California courtroom a few days ago. She was there to plead not guilty for allegedly stealing an expensive necklace. There she sat in a skin-tight white dress, with her on again-off again inflated lips.

This time, the lips looked a bit different from having possible injections of dermal filler, like collagen, juvederm, or restylane.

It appeared as though a lip implant had been placed in surgically. The shape of her upper lip jutted out considerably. Some people call that duck lips. But since Lindsay's lips go up and down in fullness several times a year, we are assuming that she is playing around with temporary fillers.

Maybe that's an artecoll injection Lindsay is sporting? Artecoll is made up mainly of tiny synthetic beads (polymethyl methacrylate) that remain in the lips, and raise them. This technique lasts longer than collagen or fat injections.

We're not sure what's going on there with the troubled starlet. But at the young age of 24, why would Lindsay want to mess with her good looks?! She looks so pretty sans dermal filler back in 2003.

What do you think?
