Style Icon Kate Moss Launches New Lipstick Line For Rimmel London's 10th Anniversary

Kate Moss.

A super model with super style. In fact, we were more excited to see what Kate was wearing for the Rimmel London 10th anniversary photo shoot, than the brand new lipstick line she was launching.

And she always gets it right. Dressed in head-to-toe gray, the model exudes sophistication. This is a polished look you can copy, from the sleeveless cowl-neck sweater to the tailored pants and belt, down to the classic high heels.

Kate Moss' style looks effortless. She chooses clothing wisely, stays with neutrals for the most part, and keeps a sleek, simple silhouette.

As designer Michael Kors said, "Great style means having a point of view, but evolving your look is even more important. Rushing to embrace every trend will leave you fashionable, but not stylish,"

Great quote!

By the way, the 10th anniversary of Rimmel London and the beautiful British model is being celebrated with the launching of Kate Moss' new Lasting Finish Intense Wear Lipstick line.

We found a great Q & A with the model in RockstarWeekly.com. She discusses her new, very own lipstick collection:

Do you have a favourite shade in your new Lasting Finish Collection?

My favourite shade is the red, shade number 1, that I am actually wearing in this commercial. I just really like a red lip.

What words would you use to describe these new shades?

I would describe these shades as easy to wear. I wanted colors that are classic, ones that I have always worn and to suit every occasion. There are some for day with a mix of beiges and pinks, and for the night the red and darker colours. There is a shade for any occasion.

What was your inspiration behind the shade selection for this Collection?

The inspiration was for classic shades that I have always worn and had in my handbag. There is always a small selection of shades I always go back to and I wanted this range to reflect that as they will never go out of style.

What do you like most about the Lasting Finish Range and its feel on the lips?

What I really love about this range of lipsticks is they do not feel like lipsticks. I really hate that heavy lipsticky feeling you can get on your lips when you first apply it. This range is not at all like that, it has a very comfortable feeling without loosing any of the colour.

Other than your new lipstick range with Rimmel, what are your other favourite Rimmel beauty products?

The flash eyeliner in black is great and I love the Pro nail polish with the maxi brush, they make application so easy.

Other than lipstick what are your other make-up must haves?

Kohl eyeliner –I love a smoky eye. And mascara. My makeup rule is to either have a strong eye or a strong lip not both together.

Great beauty tips, Kate Moss!

Too Early For A Pumpkin On The Porch: Try Pumpkin In Your Soap

Cucurbita Pepo.

In other words, pumpkin extract. This is one of the 'magic' ingredients that makes your skin smooth and soft all over.

Fall is fast approaching, and it's time for un-doing some of the sun and summer damage. And all you have to do, is think, pumpkin. It's too early to decorate your porch, so why not 'decorate' your skin.

Pumpkin has become very popular these days at expensive spas and salons. There are pumpkin facial masks, pumpkin body wraps, and so on. Applying pumpkin to the skin is a smart thing to do, because pumpkin is rich in anti-oxidants ---full of vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin C, potassium, alpha-carotene, zinc, beta carotene, and lutein.

And pumpkin acts like Alpha-Hydroxy acids. In other words, skin texture is improved, roughness diminishes, acne stays away, and skin is moisturized and smooth.

We stumbled on to a celebrity favorite---Horto Botanico Pumpkin Soap by Nesti Dante($9, at beautyhabit.com). It's an all-natural vegetable bar soap from Italy with a super rich lather and purifying action. Plus, it smells yummy and is carefully formulated with active and organic ingredients.

Dante Botanico Pumpkin Soap ia a luxurious, cleansing experience. There's not a bad thing in it.

Biotin and Apple Hair Supplement Promises Long Healthy Locks

When it comes to the hair of many beautiful celebrities, some of it is pure extensions. And we can understand why. When you need long, healthy gorgeous hair in an instant, you CAN have some fake hair fast!

But maybe you would prefer to grow your own. Who wants to sit in a salon for hours, as they 'sew' in some hair, even if it's expensive 'human hair'?!

If you want long, healthy locks, you CAN get them, by taking special supplements. These hair vitamins contain essential nutrients that support healthy hair follicles.

Even Manhattan celebrity stylist Ted Gibson recommends popping some hair pills:

"If you want to grow your hair, try taking a supplement called Biotin. I've told a lot of actresses to use this B Vitamin."

We have searched around for a sound hair dietary supplement, and discovered Hair Volume by New Nordic ($19.95, for a 1 month supply). This system is based on a Swedish apple formulation featuring millet and other key nutrients.

And yes, Biotin plays an essential role in the list of ingredients on a bottle of Hair Volume.

It's very simple, too. Just take one tablet with a meal per day.

The Swedish company is calling Hair Volume one of the best for growing strong, shiny hair. And they claim it's all about the apple:

"The Hair Volume™ tablet is a breakthrough that provides skin, hair and nails extra nutrition and strengthens the growth, volume and color of the hair. An effective tablet based on a new ingredient that no other tablet or shampoo has: a natural growth factor extracted from apples."

The way we look at it, an apple is an amazing fruit already rich in anti-oxidants and fiber, and just maybe, its special extract properties can do wonderful things for your hair. It's surely worth a shot.

How To Melt Away Fat With Your Choice Of 4 Natural Healthy Foods

It's your dietary choice:

Cinnamon.
Olive oil.
Chlorophyll.
White tea.

Take your pick, ladies, and melt away fat the natural way.

If you've had it with all these diet pills, diet drinks, detox potions, and generally, depriving yourself of a normal amount of calories, let's take a look at the 4 foods above, that are good for you, and are chemical-free. And best of all......Cinnamon, olive oil, chlorophyll, and white tea, can help you drop some pounds in a healthy way:

Cinnamon. A recent British university study found that women eating cinnamon lose 500% more weight AND 300% more belly fat! And the most amazing thing about it-------you don't have to change your diet! And you can lose up to 10 lbs. a week.

Some prefer to take supplements, and you can do that with 4 500mg. of cinnamon daily. 1 with breakfast, 2 with lunch, and 1 with dinner. And for those of you preferring your cinnamon from your kitchen spice rack.....that's the equivalent of four 1/4 tsp. doses of the spice.

Olive oil. 'Dancing with the Stars' Karina Smirnoff uses this clever oil to maintain her sexy, slender figure. Karina told US Weekly magazine that she avoids red meat, and dines on egg whites, fish, and salad. And has, "a tablespoon of olive oil on an empty stomach to help with digestion."

Does she have a point? Acccording to this tidbit from howstuffworks.com, yes!

"Research suggests that replacing other types of fats with monounsaturated fat, especially olive oil, helps people lose a moderate amount of weight without additional food restriction or physical activity."

Chlorophyll. Dietary experts say that chlorophyll acts like a mild laxative and encourages the liver into becoming a better fat-burning machine. The green pigment is also full of magnesium which helps to balance blood sugar and melt away stubborn belly fat. Chlorophyll is also high in vitamin and mineral content.

Ann Louise Gittleman, PhD, and an award-winning author of 30 books, tells First for Women magazine that, "the best absorbed form (of chlorophyll) is a liquid extract mixed with water." She suggests a twice daily drink of 1 tsp. of chlorophyll in 8 oz. of water.

White tea. It really does exist and tastes BETTER than green tea. And a group of German scientists have discovered that there are compounds in white tea that are capable of breaking down fat cells and preventing new ones from developing.

Wow!

"We've shown that white tea may be an ideal natural source of slimming substances," Marc Winnefeld says. And he led the team of researchers.

White tea is a fat-buster. This tea has zero calories. So that means the body has to work harder to digest and metabolize it. So your body is expending more energy.

White tea has less caffeine. Also a great feature. You won't get the jitters, and you can enjoy cup after cup, all day. This in turn burns more fat, because if you keep your caffeine level up all day, experts say the body burns calories evenly for hours.

Good luck. Maybe one of these 4 natural foods can help you get skinnier

Bothered By Weak Brittle Nails? Try Essie 'Grow Faster'

We need a new set of nails.

Seriously. We are so frustrated! Last week, our nails were looking pretty 'buff,' and growing longer, and looking healthier. And then-------

Four nails broke off. Three on the right hand and one on the left. And for us, our ring fingers are always the weakest links, so to speak.

We don't get it. We do NOT abuse our nails by over-painting them. In fact, we usually just put on a clear coat of polish, and go on with our life. We maintain a good diet and have strong, shiny hair. But for some reason, our finger nails are NOT a beautiful thing.

Weak, brittle nails That is us!

We have tried a few nail hardeners that seem to work for us, and then eventually fizzle out, resulting in a few breakages. But maybe there is more hope on the horizon for us.

Essie is proud of the product they have developed called, Essie Grow Faster ($8, at Walgreens). This one features a base coat in a clinical strength formula with conditioning Argan oil. And best of all, Essie promises that Grow Faster is the "only one that gives you 27% longer nails in just 5 days."

Now that sounds like a beauty product that delivers! We will try this formula soon and keep our fingers crossed.

SJP Teams Up With Manolo To Launch Shoe Collection For Fashion's Night Out

.
Even Carrie Bradshaw would have shown up at the midtown Manhattan Manolo Blahnik shoe boutique last night to buy a sexy pair autographed on the sole by actress Sarah Jessica Parker.

It was the start of Fashion's Night Out, and the beloved star of Sex and the City was there wearing her own stilettos to reveal a shoe collection she co-designed with the master himself, Manolo Blahnik.

How exciting! Wish we were there. A very long-ggg line of SJP fans snaked out the door of the elegant shoe boutique, just to get a glimpse of the fashionable actress and to do a little shoe shopping.

Sarah and Carrie most certainly share a huge love for shoes, especially Manolos. Shoes were often a major theme in the hit HBO television series,'Sex and the City', which still remains popular even in re-runs.

You have to admit, nothing beats a pair of Manolos with those sky-high heels. And SJP once said this:

"You have to learn how to wear his (Manolo Blahnik) shoes – it doesn't happen overnight... I've destroyed my feet completely, but I don't care. What do you really need your feet for, anyway?"

LOL!

As soon as we find a price for a pair of SJP/Manolo Blahniks, we'll update our post.
