Lauren Conrad's New Bangs: Will They Become Her Signature Look?

Bangs.

We happen to adore them. And take a look at reality star Lauren Conrad debuting her own blunt bangs on the July cover of Marie Claire mag. Gorgeous!

You either really like them, or can't stand the style. A lot of women get bangs and then tire of them quickly. But there are a bunch of famous beauties who have made bangs their signature look. Here are just a few:











































Zooey Deschanel
Naomi Campbell
Taylor Swift

All 3 celebrities have made blunt bangs their ticket to success.

Bangs are HOT once again this summer.

Will you try on some pretty fringe?

Perricone Is Pricey But Photo Plasma Is All You Need This Summer!

Perricone Cosmeceuticals are NOT cheap, but the ingredients are formulated with advanced beauty science.

So here's another great Perricone skin care product that has been newly launched:

Perricone Photo Plasma ($69, at Perriconemd.com).

We find this new skin care product to be quite interesting. First, it has an excellent SPF 30. So it's a luxurious facial sunscreen.

Next, Photo Plasma is full of  Vitamin C Ester and Alpha Lipoic Acid. These agents brighten the skin and iron away surface imperfections.

There's nothing greasy or heavy with this effective moisturizing cream.

We know.....$69 is expensive, but we think the Perricone brand is a smart one that shows results.

It's hard trying to hunt down a decent facial sunscreen. Photo Plasma is like the Cadillac of the bunch.

Would you spend $69 for a super facial sunscreen?

Sexy Amber Rose Trades In Signature Buzz-cut For Super Long Extensions

Say what you will, but we think Amber Rose is beautiful.

There's the sexy new mama showing off a long mane with lavender highlights.

We all know the Cape Verdian beauty by her signature blonde buzz-cut, but as we can see here, Amber decided to switch things up by trying on some super long extensions.

Top that off with lots of gorgeous lashes, brows and bold pink lips, and we think it all works together for the 29-year-old model. Yes...it's loud, but Amber Rose wears it well.

Amber is addicted to these lipsticks:

" I also love M.A.C Lip Glass in `Pink Lemonade', but my favorite lipstick is from Mona Lisa [shade `Hot Pink #14']. It's only $1.99!".

We found a tube of Pink Lemonade at Amazon for $25.

SJP Skinny Jeans Style: Cuff It Up, Baby!

The wide, single cuff. Do you like it?

SJP apparently does, again + again. Style icon Sarah Jessica Parker LOVES wearing her skinny jeans cuffed to show off  a little shin.

We think it makes the actress look longer + leaner. And when she sets the wide, single cuff off with her stilettos---the look is glam + sexy.

Take a peek at the photos we've found:

 
SJP has a lot to smile about these days.
She has just inked a super deal with shoe god Manolo Blahnik for a chic collection of shoes, handbags + trenchcoats.

The line will launch early next year, and be very appropriately called, SJP. Have $200 - $300 handy for a pair of SJP stilettos.

The glamorous mom-of-3 told Vogue.com this:

"We’re putting new colors together that people don’t typically do, just beautiful combinations that you wish existed in your closet. And in terms of bags, thinking about that period of the seventies into the eighties, what those women were carrying, taking away the bells and the whistles and hardware and really making it about the bag."

We're excited about this one!

Mad For Mod!! Black And White Awning Stripes Hot For Spring/Summer 2013!!

These ain't your mama's mod stripes.

Oh, no! It's mod madness in strong, sharp black + white stripes for Spring/Summer 2013! Designers Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney + Michael Kors have all opted for the bold beauty of it.

And we've been seeing the head-turning style just about everywhere---from high-end to low-end.

Kim Kardashian has been captured in lots of paparazzi photos wearing the stripes, and two-toned black + white look for months now. The expectant reality star LOVES black + white fashion, and we must admit, Kim K wears it well.

 

When you put on the new black + white mod, get ready to be noticed, ladies. If you're kind of shy wearing it from head-to-toe, then try the big stripes in smaller doses---like a top or bottom or on accessories.

Rachel Zoe's Quick Beauty Tip For An Instant Eye Lift

Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe has a clever solution to a common beauty problem:

Puffy eyes and/or bags and circles.

She likes Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Gel Pads ($30, at Beauty.com).

.

We think the results look natural + effective on 41-year-old Rachel.

So, what's in Skyn?

These pads contain hydrolized elastin, a beauty ingredient that delivers an instant toning + firming effect on the delicate skin under the eyes.

The puffy eye busters are easy to use, too:

"Remove backing and apply gel side to under eye are for 10 minutes.
After treatment, gently peel away patch and follow with Icelandic Relief Eye Cream.
Use once a week or whenever you need a quick fix!"

Hey, we're all for the quick beauty fix!

How about you?

Would you shell out $30 for an instant eye lift?
