How To Get Skinny In 2013 The Padma Lakshmi Way

Top Chef's stunning TV hostess Padma Lakshmi has a skinny cocktail designed to keep her slim+fit.

And she's sharing her beauty tip with all of us.

It's not what you think. We wish there were alcohol in it, but this skinny girl cleansing juice is all healthy and so simple to concoct. So, here it is!
 
'Before each meal, I drink a tall glass of my cleansing juice to jump-start my metabolism.'

'Simply combine 2 ounces of pure, unsweetened cranberry juice, 6 ounces of water, and 1 packet of Emergen-C in the flavor of your choice.

'While I don’t necessarily believe in pure juice cleanses, this recipe helps me stay on track.'

So, there it is! And  the fomer model and mom of an adorable little girl looks in great shape!

Being on Bravo's hit cooking reality show offers lots of yummy benefits in the way of tasting some wonderful cuisine, but the show can also pack on the lbs. for Padma. So she revealed these healthy tips on her official blog.

Padma also chants her way to skinny:

 'No meat, no sweets, no wheat, no cheese, no alcohol, no fried food.'

‘I followed this regimen for the entire month of October and managed to lose weight without any exercise,' she  says.

'The guidelines are very strict—you can’t eat even a crumb of toast—but it’s a healthy and mindful way to lose weight in a small time frame.'

Padma adds that white meat, such as fish, turkey, or chicken breast are okay to eat.
'Small amounts of potatoes or rice are also fine, but it should be kept to a minimum. If you follow this poem for the entire month of January, not only will you feel clearheaded but you will also most certainly lose weight,' she wrote.

Stock Up On Blue Eyeshadow Now: It's Hot In Spring 2013!

We have to admit.....electric blue eyeshadow never looked better! You might as well buy some now....It's going to be a HOT beauty trend in Spring 2013.

NYFW had this all over the runways for spring, including Jeremy Scott(photo#1), Versus(photo#2), Anna Sui and a lot of others. A blue smokey eye is gorgeous but looks kind of tricky to both apply and pull off.

Okay, maybe you wouldn't wear this for a day look, but for nighttime outings, this is high glam and sophisticated.

To get a little beauty guidance, take a look at this YouTube demo by missmai27. The bold blue shadow is NOT for the faint-of-heart.

Will you be rockin' the blue smokey eye look come spring? Don't worry....You have the entire winter to think about it.

White-Hot Taylor Swift Debuts Big Girl Sexy Gown At People's Choice Awards

OMG!
Taylor Swift, you have never looked so amazing!

Hands down,  the singing superstar won best-dressed at the annual 'People's Choice Award' show last evening!

Okay, that's just our humble opinion. But you have to admit, the girl stood out from a large group of Hollywood's finest.

Taylor Swift at 22-years-old slipped into her big girl white, sexy gown with the bold, plunging neckline and stole the show!

Check out the gorgeous smoky brown eye(or deep bronze-y shadow) + nude lip combo, and those striking turquoise chandeliers.

Gone were the blunt bangs and long, wavy hair. This time, Taylor opted for an elegant, complicated braided bun. Tres chic!

We haven't been able to snag the label on that white hot gown. Looks like it could be a classic Ralph Lauren number, along with the southwestern turquoise earrings.

We are sure about one thing: it's Taylor's talent and huge popularity.

She also took home the People's Choice Award for Favorite Country Artist!

Kardashian Sisters Khroma Beauty Line--A Katastrophe?!

For the 3 glamorous K sisters who admit they pile on the makeup, one would expect  the brand new Kardashian Kroma Beauty line to be pretty spectacular, but according to some cosmetics critics, the products appear to be sub-par.

Ouch!

We have NOT tried the Kroma Beauty collection yet, so we cannot personally judge the merits of the makeup, but we CAN give you the opinions of all the other ladies who have bought and put on the new makeup launched by those kute reality star sisters---Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe.

We want to LOVE Khroma, but it seems the beauty brand already needs an overhaul.

We found the cosmetics line at ULTA. We took a look at all the customer reviews, and a number of buyers were disappointed the makeup line wasn't a lot better, in packaging, usage, and appearance.

Khloe's Kardazzle Face Palette ($12.99) is a fave, according to the thumbs up by ULTA purchasers. The natural-look palette got 3.9* out of 5*. And you get all this in one small, convenient compact:

Top-level holds 8 eye shadows, 4 matte and 4 shimmer ranging from Ivory Cream to Taupe to Chocolate.
Bottom level contains Cheerful Cheek color, Luminous Highlighter, and Sunlit Bronzer.

You-Tube demos are showing a lot of Khroma Beauty makeup applications. We found a very good demo by a sincere and talented makeup pro, emilynoel83. She tested out the Khroma Beauty SheBang Eye Transormation Kit, and only adored the set of false lashes that come with it.

Check out emilynoel83's critique here.
