Nip + Fab Launch The At-Home Facial Peel On A Pad

We LOVE exfoliating skin care products. So every time we find a new one, we talk about it.

Nip + Fab is bragging about their new Glycolic Fix.

You get a little jar with 60 exfoliating pads. We hunted down some at Target ($12.99).

That's a 1 month - 2 month supply depending if you use a pad once or twice a day.

What's so great about an at-home mini facial peel?

Lots!

You're getting rid of dead skin cells. The glycolic acid helps stimulate cell turnover for brighter, younger-looking skin. Skin tone + texture eventually improve.

It's so easy to do----Wipe the pad across your  face, neck + décolleté. Apply the pad to cleansed skin once or twice daily.

Certainly, a chemical facial peel done by a dermatologist is more effective, but any time you can exfoliate, it's beneficial for better skin. Period.

We think this is a nice facial peel for beginning peelers.

Post Lorenzo Baby: Mama Snooki Undergoes Major Makeover

Snooki, last night, New York City at a Sandy Relief charity event.

Good for her in supporting a very worthy cause. But would you have guessed this were the same, pint-sized reality star of the Jersey Shore show?!

Look at Snooki's new smile.

Look at her new face---sculpted chin, high cheekbones + brows.

And look at her new, slimmer figure!

Has Mama Snooki gone and had a major makeover??


















































She's only 25, and yet the pressures of being a popular celebrity can do a number on women in the TV spotlight. There is so much crazy emphasis on looking perfect.

We cannot prove the tiny star has undergone significant plastic surgery, but there's a lot of buzz about the rumors. And last evening's appearance keeps sparking the buzz.

We think that getting an improved smile is certainly possible, if you look at the Before + After pics.
Then there is the alleged lip augmentation from a while ago.

Do you like the beautification of this reality star?

Or is it a bit much?

Snooki's close pal J Wowww also appears to have undergone some major plastic surgery on her face + figure BEFORE Snooki altered her appearance, allegedly, we might add.

These young women are just that---young. We could understand if they were hitting late 30s + beyond, but who are we to judge.

Does Snooki look the same to you??

Scarlett Johansson Adores This Hair Treatment For Blonde Delicate Tresses

When you've got very light hair and undergo lots of peroxide processes like actress Scarlett Johansson, then a great hair conditioning treatment is essential!

Coloring hair blonde is not easy. Your tresses get hit from all sides. Dyeing is brutal to the health of every gal's hair.  Blonde locks like Scarlett's are so pretty + sexy, but there is also damage + weakness to the hair shaft.

Scarlett says she's good with makeup, but when it comes to her hair, the actress told Glamour mag:
:
"I'm a disaster. I don't even know how to blow-dry it."

But she DOES know a luxurious conditioner. This is Scarlett's hair addiction:

Kerastase Maque Chroma Riche ($61, at kerastase-usa.com).

Nourishes leaving hair soft and supple

Maximizes longevity and radiance of hair color with reflective shine

Protects against anti-oxidant aggressors and premature color fading

Provides UV protection

Proud Mama Gisele Bundchen's Supermodel Style Travels to Brazil

A lot of women LOVE to hate the supermodel of them all--Gisele Bundchen.

Look at her!! She just gave birth to cutie-pie Vivian just 5 months ago, and yeah, she is still in phenomenal shape.

There walks Gisele through the airport having just landed in Sao Paulo, Brazil  for a modeling gig. We like her traveling proud mama style.

First, the signature beach-wavy hair is spot-on.

Secondly, Gisele is hiding behind a pair of aviator sunglasses. That is the key to a glam, classic sense of style. That's what American sportswear designer Michael Kors says:

"Aviator Sunglasses make any outfit sexy."
We couldn't agree more. Maybe you can't afford a gorgeous pair of Michael Kors aviators for $150 a pair. But you can still be a cool jet-setter with a cheaper pair.

We found a bunch of aviators to choose from at WetSeal. The photo shows the Twisted Temple Aviator Lenses (just $7.50 a pair, or 2 for $10). Can't beat the price, and if the cheaper copy-cat sunglasses last well into the fall, then you've done alright.

Let's be honest, Gisele doesn't have her breasts hanging out or a super mini hemline exposing her butt. She is dressed casually in a sweater with low-riding skinny grey skinny jeans  and suede boots.

She looks great. Plus, she isn't even walking along with her most handsome accessory--Tom Brady
. Otherwise, we would have included the photos!

Midnight in Blue features a "fabric handmade fringe tassel with crystal embellished wing charm on silver beaded chain."

So glam and very Kate Hudson!

Sexy Side-Part Adds Classic Beauty For Spring 2013

Let's pick a side, ladies!

If you're looking for an easy classic beauty look for Spring 2013, then the sides have it. The fresh trend is all about the deep side part.

It's simple enough to create with a humble comb. Just find your better profile and part from there.

Curly heads, pin-straight hair, short + long can all look flattering with the side part. And the celebrities have been HOT on the trend for recent red carpet events. Look at Keri Russell. She looks lovely and not trying hard. Her stylist Brian Magallones created her do like this:

1. To create this look, I started by taking 2-inch sections of hair and curling them with a curling iron and pinning them up in pin curls.
2. As I was curling, I sprayed each section with Aveda Volumizing Tonic to add volume and hold.
3. I used a 1-inch curling iron around the face for a more defined wave and a large 1-3/4-inch iron for the rest of the head.
4. Once the pin curls had cooled and set, I removed each pin curl and flat ironed the ends. The straight ends are what give this look that modern edge.
5. Next, I created a deep side part for drama and brushed the hair to relax the curl and shape the wave around the face.
6. I finished it off by running some Aveda Brilliant Emollient Finishing Gloss through to add amazing shine, and held it in place all night long with Aveda Control Force hairspray.

Jessica Alba + Reese Witherspoon also both love wearing the deep side part.
 It adds instant cool glam!
