Kim Kardashian Gives Birth Early Today To Baby Girl!! How Retin-A Can Help Post-Baby Body

Many blessings all around.

Congratulations to Kim Kardashian + Kanye West on the birth of their baby girl!

Sources say the reality star is resting comfortably after having her precious little one at 1:30 AM at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center this morning ... 5 weeks early, according to TMZ.com.


There are  a lot rumors going around that it was a planned C-section, and yet, as we read from TMZ, a "natural birth.".

We're not sure how Kim K delivered her baby girl, we're just happy that both K-Mama + little one are doing well.

By the recent pics we had been seeing, it looked like the star was ready to pop out her baby ASAP!!

Kim Kardashian tried hard to be a glam pregnant gal, and we think she pulled it off pretty effortlessly. She took heaps of criticism for how she was dressing.

For Kim it's all about the pretty, and she tries for perfection every time. We hope she takes the time to enjoy her beautiful baby and not worry too much about the post-baby body.

For most women who have given birth, it's the stretch marks that REALLY get on their nerves.

 Research shows that  if you attack stretch marks early, then you can diminish their presence.

As long as you aren't nursing at the time, rubbing on Retin-A cream(tretinoin) can help FADE these bothersome lines:

"One study, conducted by Dr. Sewon Kang of the Department of Dermatology in the University of Michigan Medical Center, found that used daily for six months, tretinoin cream reduced the severity, length and width of 80 percent of the 10 women who used the cream, compared to one of 12 women who used an alternative cream."

Beauty Beyond 50 Isn't So Easy: Model Iman Is Leading The Pack

We wrote about actress Sandra Bullock yesterday, looking incredible in her 40s, 48 to be exact.

Now, let's take on the 50s. A woman's body is going through so much more, namely menopause. And that stage of life affects a lot of things resulting in:
weight gain
flabby tummy, hips
skin dryness
more wrinkles
thinner hair, etc.

But there are ways to keep it together. And model Iman is proof that age is just a number. In her case, 57 to be exact. Yup, this chick looks pretty darn good!! There she poses at the amfAR Cinema Against Aids gala ball at the famous Plaza Hotel in New York City last evening.

Now, many would probably argue that this iconic model has most likely achieved her ageless beauty through cosmetic surgery and or cosmetic dermatology.

 

Maybe. That could very well be true. But we don't find Iman artificial-looking.  She reportedly leads a clean, healthy life and it certainly shows.

 

Of course, the long, elegant neck+ stunning bone structure helps Iman defy gravity. And she's  always shown off such elegant, perfect posture with a toned, fit physique.

Okay, we're a big Iman fan. And every time we see her, she looks beautiful. Yes, a lot of it is styling with polished makeup + hair. Still, she's an excellent example of beauty beyond 50.

 

Maybe it's her makeup---ImanCosmetics.

Sandra Bullock Lights Up London As She Steps Out In Sexy Black Dresses

At age 48, actress Sandra Bullock can do NO wrong. The gorgeous star has never looked better! Just take a peek at the Academy Award winner as she stepped out for dinner at Nobu's last evening and just a few hours ago at the U.K. premiere of "The Heat" at the Curzon Mayfair in London:

We are lovin' the entire ensemble: The sexy dress, pin-straight hair parted down the middle (so Cher '70s), polished makeup + red stilettos! Wow---what a great date outfit!

And we also give thumbs up to her black sleeveless belted gown + strappy sandals for the movie premiere.

Check out the super sexy back of the gown. Sandy's flashing her bra to the world.

OMG! Go Sandy! Go Sandy!

Check out Sandra Bullock + Melissa McCarthy in the trailer for 'The Heat.'. .

Tempting Trend: Teal Eyeliner Under Lower Lashes Looks Lovely

We LOVE this easy, fresh new makeup trend:

TEAL eyeliner UNDER the lower lashline or directly in the waterline.

This is a HOT trend to try for Summer 2013!

It's a simple, glam look, and only requires a bit of teal liner.

You can go natural here, as we see on the model at Stella McCartney. Bare face with just an elegant teal line and a few coats of mascara.

In photo 2, we have model Cara Delevingne using the teal liner with lots of black mascara and bold dark brows with a bright lip.

Her eyes are mesmerizing! The teal puts those pretty peepers over the top!!

We like Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Deep End ($19, at Sephora). It's a creamy teal liner.

And last but not least, model Karlie Kloss, in the last photo, shows off a teal waterline with soft makeup and rosy lip.

We like this teal trend. It's a sexy but subtle makeup to try on. You don't have to be a professional makeup artist to make this look good.

Will you try the tempting teal trend this summer?

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.
