Heidi and Mel B Try To Get The Tired Out With Eye Pads

Well, if eye gel pads are good enough for 2 of television's prettiest judges, then maybe these will work for all of us!

The gorgeous 'America's Got Talent' duo were fooling around with spa beauty treatments, and decided to show the world how they get the tired out.

Check out their Instagram pic.

Mel B + Heidi still look gorgeous even without makeup.

Gel eye pads work by firming and smoothing the oh-s-o-delicate eye area in a matter of minutes. Even celebrities suffer from over-worked, tired eyes.

We're not sure what name of gel eye pads Mel B + Heidi are wearing here, but we've found a great brand to try:

Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Gel Pads ($30). These little gel pads improve circulation, de-puff eyes + firm up skin in just 10 minutes.

Eye gel pads are what we call a quick beauty fix.

Here's what one customer review says about Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Gel Pads:

"Try 30 minutes before you land when you have to fly the red-eye
In the morning when your eyes look tired, and/or puffy
At night when you're getting ready to go out
Wish I could afford to use them whenever I want."

Miley Cyrus Cavorts Desperately On Stage But At Least Her Brows Look Great

What can we say. We are not here to judge. Let's put it this way:

Miley Cyrus' raunchy performance at the 2013 VMAs will NOT soon be forgotten.

Now as an artist, that can be good-----or that can be bad. Not sure how this will all work out for the very young star.

Do we blame Robin Thicke, who should know better?

He's so darn sexy, we have trouble scolding him for anything....

But there was a bright spot for 20-year-old Miley.

We thought her brows looked beautiful. Whoever did the makeup, was spot-on.

Okay....we could do without the tongue shot, but you can see pretty close to perfect eyebrows.

The eyes look very nice with minimal cosmetics except for some gorgeous, long lashes.

And the bold red lip balances the look.

The hair?

Well, the pop star now misses her longer locks, but we think she can rock this silliness just fine at the tender age of 20. She says she's trying grow her hair out.

How to fake thicker brows?

A professional makeup artist would be nice. But you could also try this nifty brow helper:

The TouchBack BrowMarker ($19.95). "Lasts all day, won't rub off. Enhances thin brows. Blends stray grays."





The tip is so ultra-fine, you can actually draw on individual hairs. This lets your faux thick brows look natural--all blended in....Er...blurred lines, so to speak.

Jessica Alba Shops California Target In Style

Great wide-brimmed black summer hat, simple black tank top, chic black sandals and comfy rolled cuff boyfriend jeans.

That's what glam mom-of-2, Jessica Alba, put on for a shopping trip to a California Target department store in Westwood yesterday.

We LOVE this effortless look.

Jessica knows how to rock great accessories.

In this case---that cute summer hat.

The movie star was shopping with cutie-pie daughters Honor + Haven, along with a friend.

You, too, can copy Jessica's style:



We found a pair of boyfriend jeans from GAP (on sale for $48.96).

And a classic black stretch tank from OldNavy ($8, only).

Lady Gaga Prepares For Sunday's VMAs: Is She Fashion Icon-Worthy?

Okay....Please forgive us....But we are plain tired of all these Lady Gaga costumes + wigs.

Take a look at the super talent strolling along the streets of New York City earlier today, heading to the recording studios in preparation of Sunday night's VMA show.

Is she fashion icon-worthy? Really now....Aren't you bored with Gaga's theatrics?

Is this attractive?

We don't get it. Maybe we are just too old.

The 27-year-old mega pop star has been cited often for being a fashion-forward original.

Vogue mag has featured her a number of times, and stylish celebrities have applauded Gaga's uniqueness for a while now:

Donatella Versace LOVES Lady Gaga and believes the star has the power to influence a generation.

"I'm sure that, if Gianni were still alive, he would have been a huge fan of hers," Donatella said.

And Sarah Jessica Parker has given Gaga compliments, too:

The glam actress believes they 'have very different silhouettes' but admits she admires 'her aesthetic choices.'

Alright, little monsters, you tell us.

Is Lady Gaga Fashion Icon-Worthy?

We say, NO!

Elizabeth Hurley: Stunning At 48 With Minimal Wrinkles

We saw a very recent snapshot of British beauty Elizabeth Hurley. We've always been a big fan of hers. She's just stunning. Period.

And at 48-years-old, well, girlfriend looks amazing! We enjoyed noticing, if we can use that verb, that the English actress has a few crow's feet.

Our eyes age particularly fast, because the skin around and under them is dry, delicate + very thin. So thin, about 4X thinner than anywhere else on the face. Now that should frighten us all!

So, at 48, we would argue that EVERYONE, no matter how gorgeous, is apt to see a few crow's feet...And some women see them much sooner, if we can single out, beautiful Heidi Klum.

Yes, if you smoke, you will usually develop crow's feet quicker than non-smokersHeidi + Elizabeth are smokers. But.....we all get these pesky lines around the outer eyes + under as we age.

One clever trick...Try a cat eye, which extends the eyeliner above +beyond the shape of the natural eye. It will blend in with the crow's and mask them a bit. We do that....

Also....PLEASE... invest in an eye cream, which is specially formulated to target that dry, delicate area of skin.

Estee Lauder has a wonderful eye cream called Advanced Night Repair Eye ($55). It's a silky serum-gel.

Taylor Swift: Blonde, Bangs, Layered Hairstyle...And Oh Yeah...Those Red Lips!


Singing superstar Taylor Swift has made her bangs + a new sleek, layered hairstyle her signature look.

Don't forget....those glam red lips, too!

We like the face-framing layers she has recently added to her long, straight hair. Can you say, gorgeous! We also like the side part with the blunt bangs and layers that hug the cheekbones down to the neck. We are also loving the soft, ashy blonde shade.

For years, the 23-year-old talent wore her mane in a very curly do.

But she has definitely grown-up, and has shown the world her beauty + style sophistication.

Taylor has always nailed it on the red carpet, and lately, the award-winning singer has really developed such polish.

She knows what works for her classic features and slender, tall figure.

Taylor is also a savvy, young businesswoman. Take a look at her 3rd + latest new fragrance:
Taylor by Taylor Swift ($49.50, at ulta.com).
