Ladies---Do you think you could handle this scenario?!
Breasts that INSTANTLY appear 2 sizes larger??
And the whole thing ONLY costs $9.95?
We don't know how we missed the advertising on this one, but H&M stores have been 'pushing' their Super Push-Up Bra for a few months now.
And it ALWAYS seems to be selling out like mad.
Well, for $9.95, that's a pretty amazing price for a bra that can do some amazing things.
Hopefully, you can find the Super Push-Up Bra for yourself at an H&M store near you. It comes in several pretty colors + styles.
The boob magic is in the material:
Microfiber with thickly padded underwire cups that lift and shape the bust so that it appears 2 sizes bigger. 19% elastane, 81% polyamide.

10 Good Reasons For Getting A Chemical Peel
A chemical peel can really improve your complexion. And although there are several different types of peels available to choose from, there is a chemical peel for everyone out there---from mild to very strong.
We are a peeler. But we would also advise getting your first chemical peel from a dermatologist. If you want to D.I.Y. at home, you must be careful and build up to a stronger peel. Yes, you can burn and possibly scar from harsh peels with strong concentrations.
Having said all of that, a chemical peel can do AMAZING things to your skin, if you are patient and follow all the key steps.
1. Softer, Smoother Skin Returns. The exfoliation does work. The upper layers of the skin dissolve and then deliver softer, smoother tissue.
.
2. Big Pores are Minimized. Peels unclog the pores, taking all the skin debris + old cells with them, leaving cleaner, tighter, smaller-looking pores.
3. Better Skin Tone Comes Back. A chemical peel balances skin tone by fading sun damage, spots, + uneven pigment. It even helps improve dark, undereye circles.
4. It's a Quick Beauty Fix. Although results look best after several weeks of peeling, getting a chemical peel or giving one to yourself takes mere minutes. Wash your face. Prep the skin. And apply the peel. Wait 2-3 minutes and rinse off with water.
5. Say Bye-Bye to Bad Acne/Scarring. A chemical peel can improve your complexion and help keep break-outs away by deep-cleaning + de-greasing the layers of skin. A routine of peels will help lessen acne scars, minimizing their appearance.
6. Get Your Radiant Glow On. A peel does just that----give back a healthy glow to the complexion. Tired, dull skin is revived.
7. It's a Collagen Booster. A chemical peel sets you up for healthier skin down the road. A peel stimulates collagen production + revs up cell turn-over.
8. It's a Great Skin Investment + Cheap One. Compared to other beauty treatments a peel is rather inexpensive. And if you advance to do-it-yourself status, you can really save some $$$.
9. It's suitable for all ages/skin types. As long as you carefully undergo one, and select the proper strength and type of peel, you will see a lot of benefits.
10. Self-Esteem Goes Up. We all feel good inside when we have beautiful skin on the outside. A peel CAN reverse the damage and nicely improve your complexion.

What's not to love with a chemical peel?!

What Bangs....Kim K's Bee-Stung Lips Have Folks Buzzing
The Kardashian sisters.
In a way, we DO feel for them. Every time these famous siblings go out in public, a long trail of cameras + paps pursue.
And yesterday, the photogs were following pregnant Kim as she showed off a new set of bangs.
Yes! We like fringe on Kim. Plus, she's sporting those signature super-long extensions--this time in a wavy do.
But even more curious are the reality star's new BIGGER lips.
She showed off her pretty pout BEFORE she got the bangs on a recent Twitter page.
But Kim did not mention how her lips had suddenly swelled up.
Can pregnancy cause lips to increase in size?
We can't find that as a fact anywhere in some quick research, but we did read that some pregnant women DID report swelling of the lips into their 29th week + beyond.
Kim K isn't that far along in her term yet.
So....we would assume, and we use the word--assume, that the stunning star is going to the derm for lip-injected filler.
And we also assume that is safe to have done during pregnancy.
When you want full lips like Kim K, soft fillers are chosen for their amazing, smooth volumizing properties. Soft fillers avoid lumps + nodules that do not look pretty on lips.
What's the best filler for fuller, bigger lips?
We went to RealSelf.com for a real doctor's perspective:
Best temporary fillers for lip augmentation
These are all different formulations of "hyaluronic acids," which come in a soft gel form. Depending on how much of an enhancement is needed, your Plastic Surgeon will select the appropriate formulation.
It is CRITICAL that your injecting physician understands the proper lip aesthetics and balance between the borders, upper vs. lower lip, and the role that surrounding muscles play in the lip (mouth) aging process.
Sometimes, if my patients are in the operating room for something else, then I offer them the choice of having their own fat cells transferred to different areas of the face (such as the lips and cheeks) to restore the youthful volume of the face.

The best fillers for the lips are those that are soft, pliable, and temporary. Those currently available and that work beautfuly for the lips are:
- Juvederm Ultra Plus
- Restylane
- Perlane

Brooklyn Decker + Jessica Alba Both Love This Foundation
We all like when beautiful celebrities dish and spill the goods on their favorite beauty products.
We are told that Jessica Alba wears Koh Gen Do Moisture Foundation ($62, at Barneys).
How do we know that?
Well, actress/model Brooklyn Decker read about the foundation in an interview Jessica Alba gave. And Brooklyn now wears Koh Gen Do, too, because Jessia has gorgeous skin and must be doing something right, she hinted.
According to the Koh Gen Do website, the company's high definition mineral makeup cream foundation was first developed for performers.
Maybe that's why Jessica Alba adores the line:
"To prepare for the arrival of HDTV, which reveals the tiniest flaws in the skin, Koh Gen Do used ultrafine particles that could hide pores and fine lines on the face but look and feel weightless. Due to its popularity with actresses and singers, the series began attracting attention from the general public. Today this product is the company's leading line."
We WANT makeup that lets you appear flawless, like you have the tiniest pores, with a smooth textured complexion and so on.
We think Brooklyn Decker is smart to copy-cat Jessica Alba on this one!

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?
