Hair Extensions, Veneers, Lip Plumping For Kate Middleton? Are You Kidding Us?!

Dear Kate Middleton:

Good luck in your wedding to Prince William.

You're going to need it......because every move you make, every hairstyle, lip gloss, hat, gown, and even the socks you might wear on an off day, will be critiqued.

The eyes of the world are upon you, as your big day approaches April 29th.

We happen to think the pretty brunette princess-to-be hasn't missed a step yet. Kate Middleton is perfectly groomed. Just look at the photo snapped of the young British beauty wowing the crowds in Northern Ireland earlier this week.

Then imagine our horror, when we heard one beauty magazine suggesting 29-year-old Kate Middleton have a make-over before her wedding day. The so-called beauty experts suggested these 3 beauty I-Do's:

1. Hair extensions.

2. Veneers for a more perfect smile.

3. Lip plumping injections to give the princess-to-be a fuller upper lip.

Are you kidding us?!

Kate Middleton has one of the healthiest, glossiest heads of hair around. And according to the U.K.'s Mirror News, Kate is loyal to one: "Kate owes her luscious locks to regular trips to Chelsea hairdresser Richard Ward. She’s been going to his salon for five years for a £105 cut and blow-dry." That's about $165 in U.S. dollars.

Her makeup is always just right. Kate brings a fresh, modern approach and style to the monarchy. Her makeup is polished and not over-done. Even her eyebrows are natural and perfect.

As far as her royal smile goes, it is lovely and real. No, she doesn't need veneers. Her teeth are white and nicely shaped for her mouth. And her lips are fine. She doesn't need an exaggerated upper lip. How silly is that? There is nothing wrong with a nice set of average-sized lips.

What's there not to love about the newly engaged Kate Middleton?! At age 29, she certainly does NOT need a beauty makeover.

Will Kate Middleton become the fashion and beauty legend that so many people adored in Princess Diana??

We think Kate can definitely set some royal trends.

In the meantime.....enough with the hair extensions, veneers, and lip plumping ideas. Let the princess-to-be, just 'be.'

Kate Winslet Lands Cover of British Vogue Showing Off Edgy New Platinum Cropped Hair

Kate Winslet is one celebrity who gets lovelier with age. True, she's young at 35, but her bone structure seems to look better and better each year.

Check out the UK beauty on the April cover of British Vogue, photographed by the legendary Mario Testino! And look at her edgy, new platinum cropped hairstyle! We love it!! Reminds us a bit of Gwen Stefani's trademark platinum but with a softer makeup palette.

Kate Winslet has now become a high maintenance gal, because the upkeep on those roots will be killer. Still, it's a great, sexy look for the Academy Award winner, and the talented actress told Vogue, she was looking for a brand new start:

"I’m embarking on a new chapter in my adult life," Kate says. "And I’m single. And it doesn’t scare me at all."

So....you, too, want to trade in your mousy do for a hot, bleached bombshell style?!

Well, then we advise beginning with a healthy head of hair and going to a salon pro. Keeping your locks in a pixie cut like Kate's and like Ashlee Simpson's reduces the damage often caused by peroxide and more peroxide.

We found this advice on a British website forum talking about platinum hair. Read on what this un-named pro said:

"I am a cosmetologist in utah. I have been doing hair for seven years and bleached many heads of hair. i am telling you that Loreal Platinuim is by far the best lightener for damaging the least ... notice i said least damage wise. every chemical process that you do to your hair WILL DAMAGE IT! and loreal is the largest hair care company in the US... this is Loreal Professional.. it is a very good line, so dont think of Loreal grocery store shampoo and hair color.i caution anyone who uses any harsh chemicals with out a licensed cosmetologist is ultimately planning a very expensive trip to the salon... color correction is very expensive and very hard to do! also professional products that arent sold or done in a salon are "black market products" and maybe just the professional packaging with crap inside... i have seen it before. "

Good advice. Want to go sexy platinum like Kate Winslet? Then, please don't go it alone.

Gisele Bundchen In Tiny Bikini Looking Her Skinniest Ever

Gisele Bundchen and her tiny bikini rocking Rio over the weekend.

Everyone's talking about her barely there swimsuit and her barely there body.

Let's put it this way.....Gisele Bundchen has always been long and lean, a size 4 on a 5'9" frame.

But has she gone too far with the dieting?

Gisele does appear to be possibly a size 2 in these photos, but it's not easy to tell. The woman and mother of one, is in incredible physical shape. For what she might lack in curves, she makes up for in superior muscle tone. Look at her oh-so-flat tummy and the definition by her waist. No photo-shopping required. A lot of comments have popped up over the internet, claiming the supermodel is ....."way, way, way too thin.". Or that "Gisele has no curves" and has the "straight body of a boy". Etc.

We think Gisele Bundchen looks like a model. And models are tall, lean, and even lanky. We must admit, this is the skinniest we've ever noticed her to be. But then again, she appears to be at the top of her game.

Gisele does not have an eating disorder. She happens to be a very disciplined and athletic, young woman who meditates and does yoga.

Don't Think Makeup Makes A Face Prettier? Then Check Out Supermodel Iman Before + After

Iman has always been one of our favorite supermodels. And at 55, she proves that age is really just a number.

Or is it?

If you look at these Before + After photos, we think this goes to prove that it isn't all about one's age, but that makeup makes you prettier.

Let's examine this a bit further. Our top photo shows the always glam supermodel without a stitch of makeup on. Iman was out on in the rain yesterday, shopping in an outdoor SoHo market looking for a few veggies.

We were actually quite shocked....Iman has uneven skin tone, dark undereye circles with bags, and barely there eyebrows. We just assumed, that because she's been a supermodel, that she would never have to deal with the mortal sins of aging like most of us do as we hit our 40s and beyond.

But there stood Iman with a truly naked face.......a face that is almost unrecognizable from the famous, exotic cover girl model women have both admired and been envious of for a number of years now.

And then we see that makeup, indeed, makes a major difference for every woman. Check out Iman looking stunning at the BET Honors ceremony a few weeks ago, in Washington, D.C.. Need we say more? Iman has incredible bone structure and that long, beautiful neck everyone talks about, but more importantly, she's wearing makeup-----foundation, a smoky eye, blush, and lipstick. It's tastefully done, and she looks amazing and youthful.

Does she also look better than most women at 55, without makeup? Yes, but then again, she was a top model for a long run, so we expect her to break the age and beauty barrier.

What really surprised us in the Before photo is Iman's natural appearance. We know that most beautiful Hollywood actresses and models go under the knife to retain their great looks as they enter their 30s and 40s. And some women go too far. But there is nothing plastic or artificial-looking to us where Iman is concerned. As we can see from her un-glam shot, she suffers from a few age and skin problems. So, whatever, if anything she has done cosmetically, is both smart and sensible.

We are thrilled this Before photo of supermodel Iman has been shown to the world. We can learn a lot from it. We're not sure the gorgeous wife of David Bowie would be happy to see this photo making the rounds, but we can see that even a woman of her beauty stature looks prettier with makeup. Period.

Love It Or Hated It: JLo's Bright Bold L'Oreal Lipstick

Everyone's been talking about the bright bold lipstick that American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez painted on recently. In fact, we had two women send us a personal email, begging us for the shade.

And although, Jlo's lips looked red, the color was actually a strong fuschia. And now that the Latina star is a new L'Oreal spokesperson, she is wearing the latest makeup and hair products by the giant company.

Now, you either loved it or hated it. We're not sure.....we're on the fence about this bright, bold shade. By the way, it's called--L'Oreal Infallible Rouge Lipstick in Fuschia, no. 138 ($8, at drugstores).

These new lip shades from the L'Oreal Infallible Rouge line are strong and sassy, just like JLo herself. Not for the faint of heart. And this formula is supposed to last up to 10 hours, or at least through 2 hours of judging on American Idol.

Jennifer wore this Fuschia lipstick in contrast with that sexy, emerald green Lanvin dress and soft Veronica Lake-like hair.

Would you wear this bright, bold lipstick, a la Lopez?

Cute Kmart Clothing?! Take 'Route 66' And See

Kmart for cute clothing?

We kid you not. Sometimes, a popular department store can carry a couple of knock-out, trendy pieces you can add to your more expensive wardrobe.

Look at model/actress and Sports Illustrated beauty Brooklyn Decker. She just told one fashion mag that she often shops in cheaper stores like Target, where she can score a great item for much less. Brooklyn was talking about a classic trench coat she found at Target and it was a super buy.

Now, let's examine this really cute top from Kmart's Route 66 line. Only $19.99 in stores.

Lace is so in this season. And this romantic, delicate top by Route 66 features a scoop neck, elbow length, bat wing sleeves with a sexy cinched waist and crochet along the border. The material is made of a polyester blend, and it's machine washable. Color is white and of a semi-sheer fabric and comes in sizes S, M, L, and XL.

The top looks good to us. But then again....maybe it only looks great because the model is seductively holding her arms up in the photo to show the big bat wing sleeves. The lesson here....always try on before buying.

You can check out the Kmart Route 66 line here.

Can't Afford January's And Eva's Big Dior Libertine Bag? Then Buy A Fab Fake

Spring and a brand new handbag. The two go arm-in-arm. And just because we still have big snow mounds around our neighborhood, and the thaw has been put on hold for a while, it's nice to look forward to warmer, sunny days.

Then, let's get in the mood! Both January Jones and Eva Mendes can't get enough of their beautiful soft lambskin leather hobo Dior 'Libertine' bags. The sexy actresses have each been photographed with this plush 'arm candy,' time and time again.

And we can understand why. These Dior 'Libertines' are nice and big at 13"H x 14"W x 4"D. Both actresses are carrying the Libertine in sweet Petal Pink. And there's the key-----such a lovely, fresh shade for spring.

So, you can't afford January's and Eva's big, blush-beauty Dior bag at $2,300?! Well, neither can we these days. But you CAN buy a fab fake. And we hunted one down at Macy's.

This fab fake is designed by Marc Fisher. It's called the Knot Nice bag ($88, at Macy's). We love this soft, glazed faux leather bag at 13"H x 16"W x 2"D. And we adore the price----a steal! It, too, comes in a blush pink color. And should be arriving at Macy's soon. Check out our photo. Not the best pic, but you get the idea and can see the beautiful knotting and folds.

We can't wait for spring to re-awaken our wardrobe, even if we can't get the Dior this time around.
