Selena Gomez' Favorite Sheer Chanel Lipstick Shade
Selena Gomez is a teen superstar. At age 19, she knows a thing or two about looking great, and not just for the red carpet.
Selena has a crew of makeup, hair and fashion stylists always ready to glam her up for public appearances, but the young celebrity has also strong opinions about what cosmetics make her most beautiful.
She tells the May issue of Teen Vogue that her go-to lipstick is none other than Chanel Rouge Coco Shine ($32.50, at Chanel.com. Selena's fave shade is Rebelle, a nice, coral color.
Don't let the super bright Rebelle hue fool you. It glides on sheerly and looks pretty against most skin tones.
Selena Gomez has quite a sophisticated makeup eye at just 19. That does not mean she doesn't also wear cheaper cosmetics. It would appear that being in Hollywood for a number of years now, has made the teen mogul a polished star with good taste.

Goody Heat Wave Creator For Easy Breezy Beach Hair
Talk about a hot rod!
If you're looking to create that Gisele Bundchen easy breezy beach hair, then you've got to arm yourself with this little styling gadget by Goody---the Heat Wave Creator ($29.99, at Target).
It's a curling rod with a most unique twist featuring a barrel with a wavy shape. You can achieve that sexy bed-head look in just a few minutes, without having to fight with your hair like you do, forcing strands to wrap around standard curling irons or spinning irons.
The Goody Heat Wave Creator makes it simple. Just take some strands and wrap them around the 'bumpy' barrel and clamp them in. The wavy-shaped rod ensures that some pieces will be more tightly wound and others more loosely held. Together, you create that trendy Mermaid beach hair tons of celebrities show off. Plus, this hairstyling tool has a 30-second heat-up and 10 heat settings to play around with.
The Target customer reviews gave the Goody hair gadget some very high marks---4.5 stars out of 5! And women say the Heat Wave Creator gives long-lasting waves. The only problem is getting used to the clamp and the method of wrapping the hair. Other than working out those little kinks, this is a MUST buy.

Cosmetically Over-Filled Faces CAN Be Undone: Not That Anything's Been Done
Ashley Judd was snapped walking to the 'Extra' set in Hollywood yesterday, to defend her so-called 'puffy face.'
The 43-year-old actress has been written about by a bunch of tabloids recently, all claiming she received "botched plastic surgery" or "a cosmetically, over-filled face."
In no way are we alleging that the pretty celebrity has had anything done by posting her photo here, alongside our article dealing with reversible fillers. We are taking a further look at injectable volumizers, because the topic has arisen with the dramatic appearance of Ashley Judd.
The popular TV star has been fuming and wanting to set the record straight, that the fuller face folks have been gossipping about, has nothing to so with injectables or surgery, but the result of steroids for a sinus infection.
In addition, Ashley Judd also wrote an article for the Daily Beast that discusses the cruel practice of only judging women for how they look:
"I choose to address it because the conversation was pointedly nasty, gendered, and misogynistic and embodies what all girls and women in our culture, to a greater or lesser degree, endure every day, in ways both outrageous and subtle.
"The assault on our body image, the hypersexualization of girls and women and subsequent degradation of our sexuality as we walk through the decades, and the general incessant objectification is what this conversation allegedly about my face is really about."
Right on, Ashley Judd! Meantime, let's look at fillers that can be undone when the results are not what you expected.
Restylane, Perlane, Hylaform, Juvederm, and Juvederm XC are all known as injectable volumizers. And all of them are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in your skin.
The good news, the fillers we mention here, can all be reversed if you dislike the way your face has turned out. Maybe the cheeks were too chipmunk-like, etc. A doctor can undo the filler by injecting an antidote.
Many celebrities have turned to injectable fillers for restored natural volume to the face. The treatments do NOT require surgery and results are instant.
But not every plastic surgeon or dermatologist fills the face the same way. And the key here, is to make the work look invisible. Unfortunately, that is not always the case.
Women aren't allowed to grow older in Hollywood, and that brings such pressure to most female celebrities like Ashley Judd. We think she makes some excellent points about the topic.

Fear Wearing Very Bright Clothing? Take Baby Steps With Neon Jewelry
That hot pink dress just a bit too LOUD to wear in public?!
Or that acid-colored lime top too attention-getting even for you?
As we've all heard and seen by now, neon colors are a BIG trend for Spring 2012.
You DON'T always have to follow what's in, especially if you wouldn't feel comfortable wearing it. But maybe just a tiny bit of a trend can do wonders for your wardrobe. So, let's take a look at a piece of neon jewelry.
We love the Sunburst Glass and Metal Necklace by Ann Taylor ($78, at Ann Taylor stores). Now, we could ALL look divine in little neon accents here and there. You can get your glow on without searing someone's eyes.
A little brightness never hurt anyone. And an acid-yellow necklace is edgy enough to look good at the office as well as a night on the town, followed by a relaxing time on the weekend.
How about you? Are you in for a fashion splash of neon?

Anne Hathaway's New Super Short Haircut: Miserable Or Not?
Actress Anne Hathaway.
We're all used to seeing her with beautiful, long dark hair. But something major has just gone on in the beauty department for the popular 29-year-old actress.
Just take a look at the latest photo snapped of the actress leaving the Box nightclub in London in the wee hours this morning. Oh yeah, barely an inch of hair on her lovely head. We wonder ifTed Gibson her celebrity stylist gave her the new do.
OMG!!!
Anne Hathaway has chopped off her locks for the role of Fantine in Les Miserables, the musical movie. And if you recall, the character is a struggling factory worker who is forced into prostitution to provide for her illegitimate child and ends up selling her hair for money.
Now, Anne Hathaway could have hidden her long, thick mane and worn a wig for the part, but this actress is obviously serious about her craft and said to also be dieting on a 500-calorie plan to get as authentic for the role of Fantine as she can.
So, would you chop off about 95% of your precious hair for a big movie role, knowing that you could easily avoid the drastic cut by stuffing it under a wig?
In our honest opinion, we would NOT take the haircut.
We admire Anne Hathaway for her confidence, her courage, and her honesty as an actress to go the extra distance. Can't wait for Les Miserables the movie with her, Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman.
