Stocking Stuffer Beauty Cream That Promises 8 Skin Miracles


Okay, we get a little uncomfortable when beauty products promise to remove wrinkles, permanently firm up the face, fade irregular skin tone perfectly, and so on. You get the drill.

We're still going to talk about Bremenn Labs' Miracle Cream (for the face) ($49 for 1.3 fl. oz., at bremmenlabs. It comes with a 100% satisfaction guaranteed label, or you get your money back.

So, that is fair.

Bremenn's Miracle Cream performs 8 Beauty Rescues:
1. as a wrinkle cream.
2. as a firming cream.
3. as a moisturizing cream.
4. as a neck cream.
5. as an eye cream.
6 as an anti-aging cream.
7. as an day cream.
8. as a night cream.

Yeah, right, you sneer?

According to Bremenn Labs, their Miracle Cream contains a winning combo of effective ingredients that claim to increase skin elasticity and firmness, fade discoloration, brighten and smooth the complexion, etc. The formula includes: peptides, unicellular algae, red seaweed and a few other intersting things.

There you have it. This skin cream is worth a try, especially if you find it as a Christmas stocking stuffer!

Bling In The Holidays With A Cute Collar Necklace

Celebrities like Katy Perry understand the glam power of the collar necklace! This 0h-so-HOT jewelry trend continues to make waves right through the holidays, when a little pop of pretty bling around your collar looks that more special.

If you have an extra $18,000 to splurge on the amazing Amrapali Victorian diamond necklace that cutie Katy is showing off here, then by all means, go grab it! But, if you're like most of us, well, an adorable collar necklace at a much cheaper price will do.

Our gal-pal emailed us a sassy substitute. Check it out below by Lucky Brand ($55, at Macys). How lovely is this?! Ornate open-work in gold-tone mixed metal.

And there's more. We hunted down 2 more collar necklaces. These are so adorable. The collar necklace is a super fashion accessory, because it brings all attention to the face and neck. It's a flattering style!

Look at this stunning piece by Anthropolgie. All eyes will be on you in this Sparked Agate Collar Necklace ($58). So elegant.



And you gotta want the Lacquered Link Collar Necklace by Forever21. It's on SALE for only $10.80/ Can't beat that.  So pretty in peach.
.
We all seem to freak out about the dress or top we're going to wear for the holidays, when sometimes, just a striking piece of jewelry says so much, and makes the outfit pop.

And that's exactly what a collar necklace can do.

E!'s Giuliana Rancic sees a lot of hot trends in her business.
 
One day it's in, and the next day it's out. That is why the 'Fashion Police star' sticks to timeless beauty and fashion concepts:
 
One of Giuliana's go-to-nail polishes is from the popular Essie line. When it comes to nail polish, she adores Essie's Ballet Slippers tint.
 
"I think Essie makes the most classic colors,"Giuliana explains.  

 

We must agree, Giuliana. Essie features gorgeous nail color palettes! We found a bottle of Essie's Ballet Slippers polish for $7.79, at Target. It's a pretty, pale pink!

Great choice, G!

Lovin' Red Lipstick The Taylor Swift Way

Taylor Swift is in LOVE with red lipstick! Everytime you see the singing superstar, whether it's on the red carpet or a casual day at the beach, Taylor is wearing crimson lips.

It's a cool, classic look that appears to require frequent touch-ups, precise application, and the right red for the skin tone you have. Since Taylor is a CoverGirl spokeswoman, she's got her red pout perfectly chosen. Her go-to red is CG's LipPerfection Lipcolor in Flame ($6.49, at Walgreens).

So, how do you keep that bold red long lasting on your lips without constant peeks in the mirror and all that maintenance that comes with a glam, scarlet kiss?
?
Follow Taylor Swift's advice, as given to People StyleWatch(Dec. issue):

"I love wearing red lipstick, but I hate reapplying it! I apply one coat, then brush powder over it, then apply another coat. That usually holds the color the whole night."

Thanks for the beauty tip, Taylor!

Just 4 Spritzes and Miracle Makeup Is Born!


If you're busy running around trying to be Miss Perfection during the crazy holidays, you're going to need this:

Model in a Bottle Make Up Setting Spray in Matte Finish ($18, at modelinabottle.com).

Maybe your cosmetics last and last all day long into the wee hours. But probably like most of us, your makeup can look dull, greasy, crease-y, tired, etc.

Celebs like Tyra and Oprah all swear by it, as does Kim Kardashian's main makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic.

Here's Marios beauty advice on how to use Model in a Bottle:

"Give your look staying power by spraying 4 pumps of a setting mist in the shape of a square, 6 inches away from your face."

Model in a Bottle has been used successfully in the hot, humid Texas sun, at many weddings--indoors and out, and through a lot of dance recitals.

Hey...any beauty product that can go the distance during the holiday season is a plus for us!

'Persian Barbie' Lilly Loves This Drugstore Facial Mask

She's the new break-out star of Bravo's hit reality show, 'The Shahs of Sunset.'

Everyone calls Attorney Lilly Ghalichi the 'Persian Barbie.'

People seem to be obsessed with Lilly and her big, black hair and Kim K cat-eyes. And that's what we're afraid of----too much exposure like the K-sisters. At least we hope she keeps it all in check.

Lilly has a few beauty tips when it comes to her flawless complexion. She LOVES a certain green tea facial mask:

Sudden Change Green Tea Facial Mask ($7.29, at walgreens).

"....There is a mask in particular that I love. Again, I've bought them all, super expensive ones, prescription ones etc etc, and this one is my favorite. It's called "Sudden Change Green Tea Facial Mask."

It's inexpensive and  takes just 5 minutes to do it's stuff.

Lilly adds:

"I had bought one as a joke once from Walgreens in Texas, I ended up LOVING IT. The drug stores in my area in LA don't carry it, so every time I go to Houston I stock up. I apply it once a week or whenever I feel my skin is looking dull or clogged. The second I walk out of the shower I put it on as my pores are wide open. It's green and cooling, and dries pretty quickly. Just be sure to avoid the eye area. I snapped a picture of myself doing it last night #nomakeup #greenface #don'tcare!"

For more Lilly clear complexion tips, check out her blog.

BTW, Lilly Ghalichi will be the guest on Andy Cohen's 'Watch What Happens Live!' next Sunday, 11PM.

Are you watching Lilly?
