Hot Summer Means Time For Bright Fuchsia Pedicure!

Nothing says SUMMER quite like a bright, pretty pedicure!

Maybe you've already let your adorable toes do the talking. If not, it's time to choose a colorful shade to paint those t-nails.

We just happen to LOVE fuchsia. No, those cute toes are not ours (Just thought we would clarify that).

 


We like Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure in Back to the Fuchsia ($6.98, at drugstore.com).

Pretty, huh?

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure is a great one, because it lasts + lasts, without chipping!

Here's how the company describes it:

"Don't settle for just color when you can get a base coat, strengthener, growth treatment, salon-inspired color, top coat, chip-resistance and a gel finish all in 1 bottle. Featuring the unique precision brush for a flawless finish and patented Vita Care technology for advanced 10 day wear, more shine and nourishing care."

We think this bright, little bottle is worth the $$$.

Designer L'Wren Scott's Beauty Tip For Super Smooth Skin All Over The Body

L'Wren Scott is one busy businesswoman! And we can see why. Lots of celebrities wear her incredible designs:

Penelope Cruz. Nicole Kidman. Madonna. Sarah Jessica Parker. Oprah. And the A-list goes on + on.

Plus, the super tall, dark-haired beauty shares a lot of time with partner Mick Jagger, the legend himself, so L'Wren keeps to a sharp schedule.

L'Wren enjoys a good, lengthy soak in the bath in the late evening as she recently revealed to Harper's Bazaar magazine.

And she uses an inexpensive, cult fave to keep her whole body hydrated:

"I unwind with a long bath, some reading, and a big piece of chocolate cake.

"For the bath, I use Avon Skin So Soft Bath Oil. It's great—you put it in your bath, as much as you want, and you get out, put on your dressing robe, and you let it soak in. Your whole body feels incredible."

That's a wonderful beauty tip! And so cheap---Avon Skin So Soft Original Bath Oil ($16, 24 fl. oz.).

"Contains Jojoba Oil. Experience crisp botanicals and fresh herbals. TO USE: Fill tub, pour in desired amount, immerse yourself until shoulders are covered. For added moisture, apply directly to wet skin. 24 fl. oz. "

We will have to take another look at Avon's Skin So Soft. Sounds like a good way to keep the body soft + moisturized.

Meantime, check out L'Wren Scott's website!

Copper Shadow: Marvelous Metallic Lids For Summer

Copper lids + lots of black mascara/liner = a sexy summer makeup trend!

We've been seeing plenty of copper shadow these days at red carpet events....And we LIKE it!

Okay, wearing a metallic like copper isn't always flattering to every single woman on the planet, but we think it's worth a whirl. If it looks that badly, then don't wear it just because it's a hot summer trend.

We LOVE the bronze lid cat-eye that J. Mendel gave the models at NY Fashion Week several months ago. You definitely need to add black liner + mascara to let your eyes really stand out with copper lids.

It's crazy-glam, when applied beautifully like this:




We've found you 2 copper makeups to try:

1. NARS Duo Eyeshadow in Isolde ($34, at narscosmetics.com).

 

2. Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Scorch ($19, at Sephora).

 

We think that copper shadow is a MUST-TRY this summer!

Adele's Envious Peaches+Cream Complexion Secret: The Perfect Primer

A lot of people admire British beauty Adele for her incredible vocals. Others love Adele for her big, amazing hair. And some of us envy the U.K. singer for her peaches + cream complexion.

Adele has lovely, healthy, clear skin!

Of course, like most famous folks, Adele has a super team of hair + makeup people ready to adorn her for the red carpet. And these pros ALWAYS have some excellent beauty secrets.

So, how does Adele's complexion look so flawless?!

 Her makeup artist Troy Suratt says it's-- all in the perfect primer. And his choice is expensive La Mer:

La Mer The Concentrate ($290, 1 oz).

Why is this so special?

The La Mer formula works FAST to iron everything out with its reparative marine/plant ingredients. But he uses it as a step in the makeup routine.

"Apply it as a primer," Troy advises.

He often uses the luxurious skin care treatment on the British star. .
Troy massages the La Mer into Adele's skin to "eliminate puffiness around the eyes and increase circulation."

He adds that The Concentrate..."creates a smooth canvas for the foundation that allows makeup to last for hours."

Gisele Bundchen Practices What She Preaches: Yoga Does A Body Good!

Awwww!

There's model Gisele Bundchen practicing a little yoga alongside her precious little Vivian!

We've got to admit----it's a cute, if staged photo. She shared the pic on her Instagram page today.

Even so, we all know how Gisele, at age 32, keeps moving. She's athletic + toned, and has ALWAYS praised the practice of yoga.

Yeah...we all hate to admit it----Gisele looks in supermodel shape just 7 months after giving birth to baby Vivian.

Yoga does a body good, as most people would tell you.

Yoga keeps you slim + toned.

Check out our BeautyTipToday archive on the yoga shoulder stand and how it can keep you looking slim + trim forever!

Look at the Sarvangasana pose. It's a great beauty tip!

We bet Gisele knows how to practice this weight-normalizing pose!

And it REALLY works!

Eva's Ready To Romp: Are You Falling For The Summer Trend?

If you haven't noticed by now, rompers are HOT!

The adorable onesies are both playful and chic. Rompers are also quite sexy. Check out actress Eva Longoria  in her summer-ready style. She's wearing a navy blue romper with 3/4 sleeves and strappy tan sandals.

Eva looks gorgeous. It's all in good taste. Nothing  too revealing, either.

If you've waived the romper from your Summer 2013 closet, you might want to think again.

We found a couple of navy rompers like Eva's to try on.

Will you get Ready to Romp for this stylish summer trend?

New Silicone Breast Implants FDA-Approved: For Ages 22 And Up

We like the name of these brand new adult breast implants:

MemoryShape.

Ha ha.

What makes MemoryShape unique?

According to the manufacturer, Mentor Worldwide LLC, it appears to be a safer silicone implant. In a news release, Mentor states that the breast implant has been "clinically studied among 955 augmentation and reconstruction patients participating in an ongoing 10-year study".... After 6 years, the study has found a low rate of "adverse events" including rupture.

We like that the implant is available in a range of sizes and tear-drop shaped to resemble the natural shape of a breast. Plus, more importantly--"to rebuild breast tissue (reconstruction) in women of any age."

"It's important to remember that breast implants are not lifetime devices. Women should fully understand the risks associated with breast implants before considering augmentation or reconstruction surgery, and they should recognize that long-term monitoring is essential," says Jeffrey Shuren, M.D., director of the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health.

 

"The data we reviewed showed a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness," says Dr. Shuren. "We will be looking at the results from post-approval studies that will focus on the implants' long-term safety and effectiveness."

No real explanation yet on why MemoryShape silicone breast implants are ONLY for adult women.

We believe this is welcoming news. With brand new FDA-approval of MemoryShape, there are now 5 FDA-approved silicone gel-filled breast implant products available in the U.S. manufactured by 3 companies: Allergan, Mentor and Sientra.

The more choices open to women in all aspects of life, the better it is.
