Kardashian Girls All Get Waxed: Veet Has New Wax Strips For Face

We remember reading that reality star Kim Kardashian and her sisters all get waxed from head-to toe. And that mom Kris Jenner began this beauty ritual when her daughters were young, taking the girls to their waxing appointments.

Certainly, if you have dark hair, you might need a little more help in the hair removal department, than most. And if you are Mediterranean, like the lovely K. sisters, then you know what we mean.

Now comes Veet to the rescue! The well-known hair removal pros have been advertising a new product----Veet Ready To Use Wax Strips for the Face. No prep-time....the strips are ready to use, right out of the box.

Let's be honest. Women don't like talking about a few stray hairs in places they shouldn't be, and this product aims to zap them instantly. So, if you can't afford a big waxing procedure like the Kardashian sisters undertake, you can try this one in the privacy of your home.

According to the folks at Veet, their Ready To Use Wax Strips for the Face really work, because of these reasons:

VEET® has specially formulated these wax strips to act like a liquid during application, coating different lengths of hair, even those as short as 2mm.
When you remove the strip, the wax locks the hair – for effective hair removal.
Suitable for delicate body areas like the upper lip, chin, and eyebrow.
VEET® can give you perfectly smooth skin for weeks longer than shaving. The result is smoothness that lasts up to 4 weeks!

There are 20 face wax strips in a box. And the formula doesn't stink, either. Veet allows you to smell like a bouquet of roses. Pick up a box at drugstores or at drugstore.com, for just $4.99.

O.J. Prosecutor Marcia Clark Looks Younger Than Ever At 57

Who could forget Marcia Clark, the lead prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson trial?!

Let's turn the clock back.....that was 16 years ago. We were all glued to our TVs watching the trial of the century, and examining every movement made by the then 41-year-old Clark--- from her courtroom clothing to her makeup choices, and short, curly do.

This morning, Marica Clark made an appearance on Good Morning America to debut her new book, a murder mystery, "Guilt by Association" (Mulholland Books/Little, Brown; pub date April 20; $25.99). And we can't believe how young this woman looks. Amazing!

We would not know that the woman with the brunette sleek bob and high, full cheekbones were the same Marcia Clark during the 9-month O.J. Simpson trial. The new Marcia is now 57. Check out the BEFORE + AFTER photos. We were pretty blown away.

So---does that mean the retired L.A. prosecutor has had either a super plastic surgeon or excellent dermatologist??

We can't say for sure, but Marcia Clark is doing something right.

We suspect that the pretty attorney-turned author is receiving filler, meaning, cosmetic injections like Restylane or Juvederm. These fillers act like plumpers, adding nice fullness and contours to the facial features.

Was there any previous plastic surgery done? Who knows. It's possible. But meantime, she looks darn good. She was toying around with light blonde locks, about a year ago. We are happy to see her return to her natural , dark brunette hair. Her skin looks smooth and youthful.

It just goes to show, that women in their 50s and beyond, can maintain an ageless appearance. And Marcia Clark is proof of that. A little Botox and a few shots of filler CAN make a big difference.

Skin Too Sensitive For Strong Anti-Aging Creams? Try New Gentler StriVectin-SD

Anti-aging creams and serums tend to have some powerful ingredients in them to battle 'Father Time.' And many women develop side effects like itchiness, redness, dryness, swelling and so forth. In turn, some women discontinue using these scientifcally advanced beauty products, because their complexions just can't take the irritation anymore.

Has this ever happened to you? According to the stats by the folks at StriVectin-SD, this is a common beauty problem:

Injectables Like Botox And Restylane Create New Reality Show In May

If you're afraid of needles, then DON'T tune into a new reality show debuting Monday, May 9th at 10/9C on the Logo channel.

It's appropriately called, 'Pretty Hurts.' And the program will give you an amazing behind-the-scenes look at all the cosmetic enhancement doings in Beverly Hills. You will meet 'injector to the stars', Rush Rand. And you will see an interesting collection of patients flock to his skin care office.

Famous folks like Janice Dickinson, the former model-turned reality star, are looking for the quick beauty fix. And shots of fillers like Botox, Restylane, collagen, Juvederm, and so forth, provide an instant rejuvenation, without having to go under the knife.

Yes....you will hear and watch Janice get jabbed and stung by numerous needle shots in the first episode, and you will 'feel her pain.' And yet, she keeps coming back for more. As Janice requests...."Pour it in there. Overblast me."

By the way, Supermodel Janice Dickinson said this in 2008:

"Believe me, I’m a 900-year-old dinosaur and without 14 inches of make-up and 32 pounds of fake weave I wouldn’t look the way I do. I want to be the best-looking corpse there is. I’m honest about it; I haven’t got a problem with it. I borrow bits from everyone. Every six months I fly to Dallas to get Botox and I also get collagen injections. I’m addicted to cosmetic surgery."

So, is there anything bad about getting injectables several times a year?

No, if done sensibly, we suppose. The real danger comes when a patient gets TOO much filler and the face looks too inflated. That's called pillow face. And let's not even talk about the too inflated lips.

Take a look at two photos of Janice Dickinson. The top photo shows the model at London Fashion week this past February. And the bottom photo is a snap of her in 2008.

Has Janice Dickinson over-dosed on injectables?! Or is the top photo just a bad shot of her?

People's 'Most Beautiful' JLo: And Her Makeup Artist's Beauty Tip

People Magazine's 'Most Beautiful Woman' cover girl Jennifer Lopez is the most buzzed about girl on the planet these days.

Even host Ryan Seacrest was teasing JLo at last night's American Idol show about her recently crowned beauty status

.

We're pleased to see that the mag didn't choose a 20-something starlet as the most beautiful woman. At age 41, Jennifer Lopez proves that great bone structure along with a balanced lifestyle, including a sound diet and exercise plan, can do you good for decades.

Of course, the Latin beauty and mom of toddler twins, has a super makeup artist in Scott Barnes. He even chose her as his cover girl for his excellent makeup book, 'About Face.'

.

And if you take a look at JLo, you'll be drawn to those amazing high cheekbones. That is where the beauty magic zeros in. It's all about the bronzer. And this is what she said at his book party last year:

"Stay out of the sun! He really nailed into my head. Bronzer and self-tanners are so worth it. Stay out of the booth, girls! And boys!" Jennifer said. "He’s taught me so much about contouring… what should be highlighted and what should be left alone."

Scott Barnes loves to use bronzer and highlighter. And here is his great JLo bronzer beauty tip:

"In general, I try to abide by a less-is-more mentality: You can always layer more on but it’s harder to take it off. It’s really all in the approach, though. I always see women applying powders and bronzers starting next to their nose. But the trick is to work from the outside of the face inward, rather than the other way around. This creates a halo effect and leaves a diamond shape of light in the center so your face appears a little more open. This will hide double chins and give you a visible bone structure so you don’t wind up looking old. Also, use a bronzing brush to blend allover rather than applying product directly to problem areas like crow’s feet and laugh lines. And don’t forget to do your neck and décolletage."

Scott Barnes has his own makeup line of bronzers for face and body
