New Bosom Couture: Sort Of Like Crazy Glue For Boobs
Boob-tastic! We can't help but jiggle...er giggle over the NEW brain-child product of Dawn Jackson, a California beautician.
Simply put, Boob Glue is a breast-firming gel. You apply the glue stick roller adhesive over your bosom, and secure each breast to a 'favorite bra' in the desired position.
Boob-a-licious!
Now your breasts are securely held in place ALL day long with great support + lift!
No more sagging, bulging or fear of a breast popping out. No more tight push-up bras, hidden tape, gel inserts etc.
Boob Glue launches at the end of March. No info on the price yet or where Boob Glue will be sold.
More details here.
Would you try this roller glue boob-job in a bottle?
We know a lot of women would definitely give it a go.
Small, large, implants and so forth, this boob glue works for every gal.

Kim Kardashian Has 'Bloody' Time With Vampire Face-Lift
Gotta love Kim Kardashian's desire to stay one step ahead of the competition when it comes to beauty.
Look at the Twitter photo. There's the 31-year-old reality star posing half-way through a vampire facelift or blood facial, as this procedure is called.
She showed the bizarre skin care treatment to the world in last night's episode of 'Kourtney & Kim Take Miami.' You can also hear the mom-to-be wincing in pain during the injections and vowing, "I will never get a facelft!"
We heard about the vampire facelift a couple of years ago.
It's not surgery, but another form of facial filler, similar to the injecting procedures of synthetic Juvederm, Restylane and Perlane.
But a blood facial is real---your own platelets used to put volume + youth back into your face.
Here's the quick procedure:
1. Blood is drawn from your arm.
2. It is spun in a centrifuge to separate out the platelets.
3. Platelets are then injected into your face.
Why blood?
Because it can hopefully stimulate new collagen production, but primarily to add volume to hollow parts of the face, as well as fill in lines, wrinkles + folds.
The vampire facelift is supposed to last 2 years, but there is no real proof of that.
Kim K certainly doesn't need this cosmetic enhancement at age 31. She's young + gorgeous. Why even go there?
Then again, this ain't Kim K's first rodeo as the saying goes. The reality star is very aware of beauty + cosmetic advances out there. "It's all about the pretty," for Kim, and she's aiming to keep her beauty out front and center for as long as she can.
Would you undergo a vampire facial?

Khloe K Loves The Ombre Hair Color Trend: Will You D.I.Y.?
Ombre----Dark hair at the top.....Lighter at the bottom. Forget about roots. They aren't a factor.
Khloe Kardashian has been showing off her ombre hair all over town---at Lamar's basketball games, to red carpet events and to parties.
We like the look on Khloe. She's got an edgy style and a not timid personality and this ombre looks cool on her. Older sister Kourtney K has also lightened things up with her own hair color makeover(See last pic below).
And now there's D.I.Y. hombre by L'Oreal. The big beauty company says it's super simple to create your own ombre highlights---"As easy as brushing your hair."
L'Oreal Feria Wild Ombre ($12.99 a box, at L'Oreal ParisUSA).
Wild Ombre comes with a special brush. Please note, that instead of applying the color to your entire head, you are strategically brushing it on from mid-shaft to ends in an even circle all the way around your head. So have a trusty friend with you for assistance.
Kourtney K really got the major hair makeover.
She's sporting bangs and a much lighter color.
In our humble opinion, it looks very OMBRE to us.
In her case, we don't care for it. Kourtney's much sexier as a dark-haired mama.
What do you think of the Ombre hair color trend? It's been around for a while. But apparently it's really HOT at the moment.
Are you ready to go there?

One Simple Step For Growing Long, Shiny Hair
WASH LESS, CONDITION MORE
There---that's the beauty advice that most hair stylists are happy to reveal when you're trying to grow long, shiny hair.
We hate hearing that, because our scalp can become a bit oily, but we understand the reasoning behind it.
We've all been told that shampooing daily can dry out your locks. The natural oils that act as your scalp's built-in conditioner and help fight split ends start to strip away. So the experts agree:
Scale back shampooing to just once or twice a week. That way you won't have to constanty bother with too many split ends.
Focus on hair hydration.
"Conditioning treatments are crucial," says Serge Normant, Julia Roberts's longtime stylist, to Harper's Bazaar readers
Serge says its okay to comb through your hair while the conditioner is still in it. This helps to keep knots from forming. The combing also helps avoid the breakage that occurs when you try to brush through tangles after showering.
A cult favorite hair conditioner is Tresemme Moisture-Rich Vitamin E Conditioner for Dry Or Damaged hair ($4.49, big 32 oz. bottle, at Walgreens).
The conditioner has been in the Tresemme line-up for several years now, probably because it really works!
You can pick some up at your local drugstore.
It works beautifully on relaxed hair, color-treated strands, and any hair that takes a beating through chemical processes, constant heat + drying tools, and so forth.
What makes this Tresemme conditioner so worthy?
The ingredients for hair nourishment + silkiness include:
A rich formula containing vitamin E, sunflower, hazelnut+almond extracts.
A number of our African-American girlfriends highly recommend the Tresemme Moisture-Rich Vitamin E Conditioner because it adds such incredible softness, bounce and shine to delicate locks.
Just read the customer reviews. These personal opinions can really shed some important information on a particluar beauty product.
One more thing---this conditioner smells great. Yummy!

Eye Strips To The Rescue: For Crow's Feet + Wrinkles ASAP
We all know that our eyes tell the story in more ways than one. And when it comes to aging, the eyes are the first place that fine lines + wrinkles like to locate. The skin around and under the eyes is delicate, dry and thin.
And when you're lacking sleep, and just putting in really long hours, well, the eyes will look tired and old, if you will.
We have found a beauty solution: DHC Revitalizing Moisture Strips: Eyes ($9, 6 applications, at DHCCare).
These effective, little eye helpers really do the trick ASAP!
According to the DHC Care Company these soft gel masks "gently adhere to your skin to form a seal that keeps nutrients in. Beneficial ingredients include brightening mulberry and alpha-arbutin to combat dark circles, and antioxidant-rich olive leaf extract and soy to promote younger-looking eyes."
Gotta LOVE that! These little undereye jellies would be great for those important events where you want to look flawless, with all eyes on you!
We all love beauty products that plump up the skin, and the eye area could always use some healthy boosting.
Some women wear them while they sleep, and then remove the gel strips in the AM for a refreshed set of eyes.

Our 3 Favorite Mascaras For Long Thick Wow Lashes!
We've always been lucky in that we were born with long, dark, full lashes. Our eyebrows are another story.
But as we get older, we have found that our lashes are still long, but maybe not as thick as they once were. Or maybe we are imagining that altogether.
Mascara is a MUST. We don't care how long, full
and dark the lashes are. Mascara takes the beauty of your eyes one major step further.
Simply put---Mascara makes a difference!
Our male dermatologist, who had not seen us in a while, recently remarked to us:
"Are you using Latisse? Your lashes look amazing---so long."
We laughed and told him that we really don't need the prescription lash enhancer, and that is was effective mascara. It's all about the makeup we told him.
So here we go.....Here are Our 3 Favorite Mascaras for Long, Thick, Wow Lashes:
1. L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara ($5.84, at Target).
Hope these lash-building mascaras work for you. We've tried high-end and low-end, and yes, these are cheap but very good mascaras!
