ULTA Cheek Stain: Cheap, Wears Well And Looks Great!

Cheek stain. We happen to adore it.

We like products with staying power. And ULTA beauty stores have their OWN cheek stain.

It's cheap, wears well + looks great! Plus, it's water-based.

It's called, ULTA Extreme Wear Cheek Stain. And for $8, you can't go wrong.

 

The cheek stain looks very bold here, in the shade of tickled, but it goes on nice, sheer + natural-looking.
It also comes in: Desire. Gleam and Passion.

Lots of customers also dab this cheek stain on their lips for a nice sheer stain.
We think this is a GOOD beauty buy! Blush should be worn daily by EVERY woman around.

Julia Roberts: Lady In Red Lace Dolce & Gabbana At Toronto Premiere

Movie star Julia Roberts usually wears glamorous black on the red carpet.

Well, NOT this time. The ageless beauty chose RED for the Toronto International Film Festival for her new movie--'August: Osage County.'

Now...you're either going to LOVE this red mini or probably HATE it altogether. And the critics have been panning it, saying it looks like a red tablecloth or drapes, etc.

And it's NOT cheap, either.

It's a ravishing Dolce & Gabbana Bell Sleeve Lace Shift ($3,325, at Barneys New York).

We like it. We really love lace, and we think the Academy award-winning actress is working it well, with her sky-high nude platforms. We could see Monica Belluci wearing it in those sexy D & G ads she stars in.

Here's the original:

What do you think?

 

Is this Dolce & Gabbana a runway beauty on Julia Roberts, or simply a dud?

Can Cinnamon Oil Grow Hair Back? Some Experts Say It Can!

Okay, we have no real scientific evidence to prove this, but it surely CAN'T hurt.

While doing beauty research on something else, we stumbled on to this:

Cinnamon oil for hair loss?!

WOW! It sounds simple enough. All you need is one healthy product.

We found this little nugget at Allure.com:

Catherine Devine, Assistant Editor at Allure, asked her stylist about her hair which was starting to look a bit thinner.

The stylist gave her this advice:

"Dab a little cinnamon spirit along your hairline. That will stimulate hair growth.".

Cinnamon oil is really called, Cinnamon Bark Oil. We found a bottle here--LuckyVitamin ($19.99).
And that's not the end of it. Catherine then went to NYC dermatologist, Francesca Fusco, who agreed with the concept:

 "It would probably help to stimulate blood flow to hair follicles, and that's always a good thing," she says, since "proper circulation is critical to healthy hair growth," Catherine revealed.

She added, " "It's rich in antioxidants, so it's terrific for scavenging free radicals, reducing inflammation, and reducing UV damage."

Dr. Fusco's only caution: "Even though cinnamon is natural, it's possible you can have an allergy to it, and [a reaction] on the scalp could cause irritation."

So...... Dr.Fusco suggests "applying the aromatic oil to a test area first, rather than massaging it all over your scalp."

We think this is a super beauty tip for women AND men!

Rihanna Goes 'Ghetto Goth' With Mullet-Like Black Extensions

Oh, mercy!!

Rihanna misses her long locks, because she has just attached a mullet-like mass of hair to her new pixie cut.

She's calling it, 'Ghetto Goth.', as she posted the pic on Twitter. By the way, the singing superstar has also reached an incredible 4 billion views on YouTube. That recognizes Rihanna as the most viewed artist ever!!

The 25-year-old singer was at the Alexander Wang runway show in NYC and then out to party last evening during Fashion Week. She wore a sexy long red dress and deep plum lipstick.

Copy Rihanna's plum pout with Ka'Oir Cosmetics. We found a tube of Sex. It's a deep cranberry plum red lipstick ($16.99).
As for the 'Ghetto Goth' do, well, you're on your own there.

Rita Ora And Her Bizarre Cat-Eye Makeup At Recent GQ Men of the Year Awards Show

Rita Ora certainly marches to the beat of her own drum, as the saying goes. But a lot of fans admire that about the young star.

Rita wowed everyone with her glam  backless black and yellow zebra-print Etro gown. Meow!!

She even put on another sexy dress for the GQ after-party.

Rita looked amazing, until we got the to bizarre cat-eye makeup.

It's kind of strange. Isn't it? The weird black arc circling her brow bone.

Otherwise, girlfriend's makeup looks fierce. A nude lip with that striking Etro gown, and then the bold red lip with that pretty LBD.
.

Rita's signature red is a good choice for her smoldering beauty:

"Red lips make me feel prettier and blonde hair makes me feel more glamorous. It's just my thing.". Her fave is Lady Danger by MAC ($15).

 Let's be honest.....

Heidi Klum rarely takes a bad photo. That's probably why she's been a very successful model + television star.

There she was yesterday, checking out the BCBG Max Azria Spring 2014 runway show in New York City.

Do you like the hair?

We think it's beautiful!

Heidi Klum epitomizes for us--the perfect California girl with her long, blonde, beachy waves.

Want that effortless, breezy look?

You will need a curling iron---1-inch is fine.

1, Keep  the curling iron closed and wrap  1 1/2 inch sections of hair at a time around the outside of the barrel.  Heidi' s waves start down by the ear.

2. Hold the hair for about 10 seconds depending on the desired wave + texture of your hair.

3. Carefully pull the curling iron out of your hair and let the curl fall loosely.

4. Once you finish curling, spray waves with maximum-hold hair spray.

5. Then loosely toss your hair + enjoy your Heidi Klum mane.

Nicole Richie Lives Up To The Title Of Fab 'Fashion Star'

Okay, some people would argue that Nicole Richie is almost paper-thin, and that she has been looking tinier-than-ever.

Yes, she is super-slim, but we are not sure how much, if any pounds she has recently shed.

Now that all that has been said, take a look this stylish lady.

We think Nicole wears clothing well. And we believe she really lives up to the title of Fashion Star, her TV reality designer show, in which she is a mentor/judge.

We don't care what anyone says, the talented jewelry + clothing designer looks so darn chic here, as she strolled around New York City yesterday.

Gotta LOVE the bold red lip, cool eye and on-trend side part / small ballerina bun.

Nicole looks polished, glam + tanned!

Nicole's complexion is so dewy + beautiful.

Don't laugh, but the petite mom-of-two uses a simple bar of Dove Soap:

Dove White Beauty Bars ($13.49, for 4/ 8 oz. bars, at drugstore.com).

"I wash my face with it every night,"Nicole says. "It never dries out my skin, unlike a lot of cleansers.

Maybe she's right.

The Dove® Beauty Bar has one-quarter moisturizing lotion to replenish your skin, leaving it feeling smooth and soft.  It's a cleanser recommended by dermatologists.
