Doll Lashes Big For Fall 2011: Think 'Black Spider'



The Lanvin fall 2011 runway batted long, thick fringe to the adoring crowd, as models showed off doll lashes created with tons and tons of mascara. And that dramatic fringe has made its way to the 'real world,' as a bunch of new, volumizing mascaras make their way on to store shelves.

Think black spider. Think Twiggy. Er...think Kardashian. Yep. Both top and bottom lashes get the full treatment, resulting in a doll-like set of lashes. It's an intense, spider-y look for the eyes.

All you need are 3 beauty items to achieve doll lashes:

1. Eyelash curler.
2. Volumizing black mascara.
3. Eyelash comb.


You need to curl your lashes, ladies. We've talked about this several times before. Curling makes lashes look longer and fuller, and allows your eyes to look bigger.

Next, you need a darn good mascara, one that lets you build layer upon layer. Lancome has just introduced Hypnose Doll Lashes Mascara ($25, now at Dillards, and then nationwide this September). It features a cone-shaped brush that lets you fill in all those hard-to-reach lashes. And the formula is fiber-shiny. No clumping---just wonderful jet black mascara that you can layer and layer.

3. The last step is crucial. You need to separate each layer of mascara. The Lancome Hypnose Doll Lash brush is good, but we would also advise investing in a decent, metal eyelash comb. Brush through each mascara coat again and again, on both top and bottom lashes.

Once again, it's very trendy to over-dose on the mascara. What would we do without it?

Doll lashes, here we come!

Beauty Tip Today Counts Samy Fat Hair Thickening Spray As One Of The Best


Maybe it's the hydrolyzed wheat protein found in Samy Fat Hair 0 Calories Thickening Spray that delivers the big hair we want.

Beauty Tip Today is always on the hunt for the perfect big hair styling product. And we want to go on the record, that we rank Samy Fat Hair as one of the best for big hair!

The product has been around for about a year now, and we just discovered the thickening spray over the weekend. And we LOVE it!

This Samy stuff rocks! The formula consists of Samy's exclusive FH4 Thickening Complex - a blend of natural extracts and proteins, designed to increase the hair's diameter, creating a fuller, thicker head of hair.

The thickening spray is NOT sticky or greasy-heavy. It's a light texture that is able to build-up volume on thin, wimpy locks. And it smells great---reminds us of a nice, beach-y mist.

And we like that you can apply Samy Fat Hair 0 Calories Thickening Spray ($8.99, 6 oz. at Walgreens), on either damp or dry hair.

If you're looking for bigger hair with better body and more oomph, then give this product a go! Thumbs up from Beauty Tip Today!

K Sisters Debut Sears Kardashian Kollection on E! Reality Show



This ain't your mama's washing machine.

Oh, no! The Sears company has just made a brilliant fashion move, one that creates a new image for the famous dept. store that's basically been known for its many appliances.

But now the K sisters are in town! Actually, Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian seem to be everywhere these days. And last night on E!'s 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians,', television viewers got to see the launching of the sisters' latest money-making venture: The Kardashian Kollection for Sears.

The Kollection arrives in 400 Sears stores on August 25, but you can already shop for Kardashian dresses, shoes, tops, pants, handbags, and more online at Sears.com. Use coupon code Kardashian and get 30% off for a limited time. Just in time for back-to-school shopping, too.

John Goodman, executive vice president of apparel and home, told 'Good Morning America': 'When you think of Sears you think of appliances, you think of tools. How do you get people's perception to change around clothing and apparel?

'That's where the girls are going to do an amazing job - bringing in a new audience.'


We think Sears is very smart. Whether you adore or hate the K sisters, they do get lots of attention, lots of fans, and know how to do darn good public relations. The Kardashians are very savvy marketers and have a pulse on what young women want.

We took a look, and you might be pleasantly surprised. The Kollection is sophisticated with most pieces in black. We saw the lowest price for an article of clothing at $42, and the highest price at $99.

Stay tuned. We will be watching the Sears Kardashian Kollection, and how the style evolves.

Giuliana Rancic Gets Great Beach Hair With Ocean Spritz---Even On Land



You don't have to be by-the-sea to get those sexy, beach hair waves!

Just ask E! host extraordinaire Giuliana Rancic. She's got a beauty tip she wants to share. And it's all about the Wella, ladies.

Giuliana LOVES her very long, wavy Gisele Bundchen-type locks. And yeah, we are told Giuliana's hair has extensions. So many Hollywood lovelies do wear them, and expensive ones.

And although we are tired of seeing these Kardashian sisters' below-the-bosom hairstyles on so many celebrities, including the lovable E!host, we have to admit, Giuliana's hair is always beach sexy perfect!

And this is G's secret, and also Rebecca Romijn's, too:

Wella Professionals Ocean Spritz (8.99, 5.07 oz., at amazon.

This is beach texture spray---level2. And the results are fab!! Lots of chunky texture. And so easy to use. You can even apply Wella Professionals Ocean Spritz at the beach for even bigger, beachy hair:

Just spray Ocean Spritz into dry hair near the roots. Then scrunch or shape your beach style using fingers to air-dry. For even more texture, blow-dry after shaping.

This stuff rocks!

Judge Rules: Christian Louboutin Does Not Own Exclusive Rights To Red Sole Shoes



Talk about feeling red-in-the-face!

Christian Louboutin, the French shoe designer who created the famous red-soled shoes in 1992, has just lost round one in his lawsuit against rival Yves St. Laurent. And round two doesn't look any better.

A judge yesterday told the celebrity footwear designer, that his bid to block the YSL fashion house from selling shoes with his signature red sole had failed.

Manhattan federal Judge Victor Marrero has also scheduled a hearing for next week, to consider cancellation of Christian Louboutin's 2008 trademark on his red soled shoes.

Double ouch!

In other words, Mr. Louboutin, you don't OWN the color red.

We're not sure how all the Louboutin fans will feel about this day in court. Jennifer Lopez adores the signature red soles so much. Remember her hit single two years ago, 'Louboutins'?

The shoe designer was quite flattered by the song. In fact, he was asked how many times JLo dropped the 'L'word in the single:

"That would be 45. Trust me, I've counted!" Louboutin said.

Surely, Christian Louboutin does not OWN the color red. But let's be honest, YSL knows darn well, that the trademark soles were not YSL's idea.

Those distinctive, sexy soles, are pure Louboutin all the way. And YSL can keep on coloring their shoes red underneath, but we think the true fans will not jump the Louboutin ship.

Bethenny Frankel Takes 'Skinnygirl' Empire To More Intimate Level








You either love Bethenny Frankel or you hate her. But whatever the case, you have to admit, she is one smart 'skinnygirl'!

The former NY City Housewife cast member has left her gal-pals in the dust, by building on her skinnygirl brand, and taking the clever label to a whole, new multi-million-dollar level. This is what she recently told CNN:

"I joined the cast of Real Housewives exclusively for business. I had a column in Health magazine and was a spokesperson for Pepperidge Farm. But I wanted to build a large national audience for my Skinnygirl brand."

First, it was the Skinnygirl best-seller diet books. Then the yummy Skinnygirl margaritas and cocktails, sold for an estimated $120 million! More new Skinnygirl books, a Skinnygirl sangria, the launching of a budget-friendly Skinnygirl skin care line, plus this:

Bethenny's Skinnygirl Smoothers n' Shapers.....oh yeah, Victoria's Secret and Spanx, watch out!

Bethenny Frankel is a very savvy businesswoman. She just started selling her Skinnygirl intimate apparel on QVC.com last Saturday, plus, she had stopped by the Tonight Show to model her Skinnygirl camisole to Jay Leno. And it's selling like hot-cakes.

And we want one----the Skinnygirl Lace Shaping Cupped Cami ($29) and the Skinnygirl Lace Shaping Brief ($18.50). In colors: Black, Bone, Champagne, and Smoke.
