Celebrities Flipping For Fall 2011 Hair Trend: Deep Side Part

It can be edgy or elegant. Either way, the deep side part is the hair look for Fall 2011.

The center-part is easy and very Boho, and many women part their hair down the middle every day. But this time, just a couple of inches to one side can spell S-O-P-H-I-S-T-I-C-A-T-I-O-N!

And beautiful celebrities are flipping for this fab trend. Check out our photos of English model/actress Rosie Huntington-Whitely, actress Blake Lively, and actress Christina Applegate. All three ladies look tres chic with some wave and volume.

So, exactly where do you part the hair to get this style correct?

Ask a pro, like Adir Abergel. The hair expert tells Star magazine how to do the deep side part:

"The deeper, the better when it comes to parting your hair this season," says the Fekkai celebrity stylist. "A quick parting can dress up your look. Follow the highest arch of your brow---that is where your part should begin."

Sounds simple enough. And this is a nice, polished look for any length, texture and color of hair.

We give the deep side part two thumbs up!

Fingertips Take Center Stage This Fall: Hot Color CND In Dark Ruby

Designer Carolina Herrera has always put together sophisticated, elegant, lady-like shows. And from her Fall 2011 runway collection, one beauty accessory really 'nailed' the spotlight:

Striking burgundy fingertips!

And this one is making the super hot trend: CND Colour in Dark Ruby ($9).

Yes, it certainly reminds us of Vamp, the cult fave Chanel nail shade that hit the fall runway back in 1994. The dark red/black Vamp instantly became a huge hit. And we are happy to see the CH models reviving yet another rich, dark shade like CND Dark Ruby #540.

We suggest, that if you can't wait to get your hands on a bottle of Dark Ruby, do make sure you first keep your nails short, neat, and squarely-shaped. And this is key: A glossy top-coat is a must!.

At the Carolina Herrera show, a regal Crown Jewel Manicure was created by using 2 coats of Dark Ruby topped with CND's Super Shiney Top Coat to complete a polished look with fresh-faced makeup and classic chignons.

We found a bottle of CND Dark Ruby #540 on Ebay for just $5.95. Take a look.

OMG: It's 'Vampire Filler' PRP To Scare Away Wrinkles

We like to think we're pretty knowledgable about cosmetic injectables, but boy, PRP takes the cake.

In some beauty circles, it's called vampire filler. LOL...And it's been developed to frighten your fine lines and wrinkles into hiding for about 1 year.

And yes, it involves taking blood---- your own blood, and having it spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets. Those enriched cells are then injected around your crow's feet and the dark hollows of the eyes, and into other stubborn scars and wrinkles. So, the PRP becomes a filler just like the popular fillers we all know and love---Restylane, Perlane, Sculptra, Juvederm, and so forth.

How is this possible? From the research we uncovered in the July issue of Vogue magazine, PRP or platelet-rich-plasma, has been around for a long time in the world of orthopedics. The platelet broth is used to treat problems like tendinitis or a torn ligament, by speeding up the healing with a saturation of your OWN concentrated platelets into the injured area.

And although vampire filler is still in the pioneering stages here, for it's reaction with fine lines and wrinkles, doctors are allowed to legally use PRP, off-label for cosmetic use.

If you're squeamish about giving blood, well, then maybe 'vampire beauty,' isn't for you. About 4 test tubes of blood need to be drawn from your arm.

The good news: You can't be allergic to PRP because it's from your OWN blood.

The bad news: You won't be able to see immediate changes, like you would with a pre-packaged filler. It takes some time with vampire filler to scare away wrinkles and other complexion issues.

Would you roll up your sleeve to try a little PRP to get smoother skin?

Don't laugh. We would! We'll have to check with our dermatologist to see if he's even heard of this cutting edge beauty technology.

VS's New Showstopper Bra Perfectly Smooth Under All Your Autumn Knits

It's getting to be sweater weather, ladies, and that means you need a perfectly smooth bra for your favorite autumn knits.

Welcome, Showstopper! Victoria Secret's newest bra ($48) is ideal for giving you un-bumpy curves and contours where you need them most.

“It’s smooth on the skin and doesn’t show under clothing,” VS angel Adriana Lima boasts.

Let's be honest, if your undergarment is heavily padded and lacey, those features can show right through a thinner sweater, adding bulk and lumps.

The Victoria Secret Showstopper is carefully designed to show nothing but your shape. This collection of bras has padding and underwire, but the intricate nylon/spandex technology provides a no-show coverage because it is very light and soft. The VS Showstopper disappears under your best knitwear.

The full-coverage bra goes up to a 38DD and comes in 3 styles: Demi. Perfect Coverage. And Multi-Way. Colors come in Nude. White. Black. Fuchsia. And Blue.

Check out the VS Showstopper here.

This is a versatile, neutral palette in these shades:

You can't go wrong with brown eyeshadow. Model Cindy Crawford applies it all the time:

Excellent beauty advice from one of the best supermodels of all time.

Time To Add A Piece Of Cool Cowgirl Chic To Fall 2011 Wardrobe

Designer Ralph Lauren is brilliant at cool cowgirl chic. No one does it better, in our opinion. Some suede, a little fringe, an armful of silver bangle bracelets, a blast of turquoise,a few chunky knits and you're riding the trend.

You don't want to over-dose on the classic boho prairie style, but you CAN add one great cowgirl piece to your wardrobe this fall:

A chic fringed bag. We found a budget-friendly one at American Eagle Outfitters (top photo). Just $39.50 in the right earth-tone shade of tan! Gotta love that!

Okay, so it's not real leather like the Ralph Lauren Collection fringe bag Kate Hudson has been toting around all year. But the AEO Fringed Bag is still super stylish and looks great:

Faux pebbled leather
• Hobo silhouette
• Long layer of fringe
• Adjustable shoulder strap
• Top-zip closure
• Interior zip and patch pockets
• Fully lined
• 13"L x 11.5"H x 3.5"D

We adore the color, too. AEO describes their fringed bag as tan. We say it looks more like a saddle shade. Either way, this earth-tone works as a classic. Read on what designer Michael Kors says about these neutral shades:

"Saddle-colored leather, bags, shoes, and belts are great neutrals that get better with age, and will work year-round, with every color and texture in your closet."

Great fashion tip, Michael Kors!

Taste Ain't Great But Colgate's New Optic White Really Brightens Teeth

Let's get to the bad news first:

The taste isn't great. In fact, it's almost like brushing with a mouthwash paste, if you will.

But we will say that Colgate's new Optic White toothpaste is a keeper! Every gal should have a couple of tubes of this in her bathroom.

Why? Because this toothpaste DOES brighten teeth while using a whitening strips formula.

This is how the folks at Colgate explain the benefits of using new Optic White:

"NEW Colgate® Optic White™ uses a unique technology with hydrogen peroxide to make it easier to achieve visible whitening every day. You will start seeing whiter teeth in just one week! And even better results week after week.".

And there's more great news:

"For the first time, our scientists were able to develop a hydrogen peroxide formula that does not require a dual-chamber dispensing method. Not only that, but the formula also helps remove surface stains and offers cavity protection, fresh breath and plaque removal with regular brushing," says Colgate.

This is safe for everyday brushing. In fact, it is suggested to use the Optic White 2X times a day.

By the way, Colgate did not send us a FREE tube. We were curious and bought our own Optic White at Walgreens yesterday. Our teeth are white to begin with, but as we like to say, "Still not WHITE enough!"

We have used the toothpaste on three occasions, so far. And we really like new Optic White. We can get past the not good minty taste. The formula produces a decent foam and cleans our teeth nicely. Plus, the paste is gentle to gums and teeth. We only noticed a mild burning sensation to our lips. Go figure.

We think our teeth DO look brighter and whiter, and we haven't even used the paste for a full week.

You can pick up a tube of Colgate's Optic White at drugstores and Target and Walmart stores. Online, we found a tube at drugstore.com for $4.29. Only problem there, the Optic White is already sold out! A new supply is arriving in 1-2 weeks.
