Jennifer Hudson Wearing It Well----At The Top Of Her Game!

Jennifer Hudson seems to be everywhere these days. From awards ceremonies to morning talk shows to the cover of a magazine.

We don't know how many, if ANY pounds she has put on, but Jennifer Hudson has NEVER looked better! Check out these recent photos:

Here's the Academy Award winner in all white, being honored at the Variety's 5th Annual Power of Women event in Hollywood Friday evening.

Her hair + makeup look flawless!

Here's the 32-year-old superstar on her way to 'Good Morning America in a wine-colored dress:

Plus, the brunette beauty is also featured on the cover of Manhattan magazine.

 She's got her style together and looking pretty amazing!
Three years ago, Jennifer dropped 80 lbs. through Weight Watchers, and has kept it off.
She spoke to Huffington Post about her favorite snacks:

" I love chocolate chip cookies. And right now, I’m a huge fan of the Snickers ice cream bars, because it’s only five points. And then I can have chocolate, ice cream and nuts, but it’s almost not cheating until I go over."

 

By the way, WW has its OWN brand of Snickers-like ice cream bars. We're not sure if Jennifer meant these, pictured here. But the WW points on these are only 3 pts., and she mentioned them having 5 pts. We'll have to check on that.

October Beauty Equals A Colorful, Matte Lip!

It seems that a matte lip is right on trend for October 2013.

As long as the lipstick color is strong and NOT shiny, then it's HOT for FALL.

Let's take a look at our 3 stunning celebs---Julianne Hough, Emma Watson + Kim Kardashian.

We think all 3 ladies look glam!

We especially adore Julianne's old Hollywood beauty and the neutral brown lip.

Emma looks sophisticated in mauve, while new momma Kim wows them at Paris Fashion Week with a bold, wine-vamp shade.

With all 3 looks, the lips take center-stage, but not in a tacky way Nothing GLOSSY, just a nice matte lip.

The eye makeup follows behind with a simple, understated approach to balance the colorful, matte lip.

Instead, the brows are full + groomed. Gorgeous on Julianne, Emma + Kim!

What do you think?

Will you pucker up to October in a colorful, matte lip?

Taylor Swift Brings Back Chic, Lady-Like Tights For Fall

Taylor Swift is not only a multi-award winning singer, but she is also a fashion trendsetter to her many legions of loyal fans.

The tall, slender superstar LOVES wearing chic, lady-like tights. Here she is strolling around L.A. with dear friend Demi Lovato a few days ago, in adorable swiss dot tights.

You can copy her elegant, classic style with a pretty pair from Kate Spade New York. We found them at Bloomingdale's for $28 a pair.

Would you rock some tights, er pantyhose, for Fall?

Major Cleavage On Display: Kim K + Miranda K Lead The Boob Parade

Okay....we've been noticing this, er, major cleavage on display ALL week now.

Are we jealous much?

We have a small bosom....a 34B. And yeah, we CAN create nice cleavage via  a VS push-up bra.....But what we're seeing lately from a few naughty celebs is an almost vulgar display.

Take a look at Kim K + Miranda K during Paris Fashion Week:

"Hey, everybody...Yoo-who! Here I am, and I've brought out the girls!! Look at me, PLEASE!! I'm showing off major boobage!"

Is going bra-less for those with ample breasts really in vogue?!

Apparently so. Extreme plunging necklines are HOT!

But isn't there a limit for how LOW you can go, ladies?

Check out Gwyneth Paltrow gone bra-less out in L.A. for a recent fashion shoot.

Do smaller-breasted women like Gwyneth look classier in super plunging fashion?

Or is it all vulgar whether it's an A-cup, D-cup, or even F-cup?

If you care to plunge, please invest in some lift tape, like Bubbles Breast Lift Tape.

Ladies---Watch Out!! September, October + November: Hair Fallout Doubles!

We first posted about autumnal hair fallout last November, after reading a fascinating article from Japan about hair loss during the months of September, October + November. And once again, we have been affected by this bizarre occurrence.

We are noticing MORE strands in our hairbrush. Tomorrow marks October 1st. So, we figure, we have another month of  NORMAL hair-shedding to deal with.

We find it frightening, to say the least. We don't care how NORMAL it appears to be. Finding MORE hair in one's hairbrush, is never a calming thing.

Here is the article once again, from the Japanese newspaper, 'Yomiuri Shimbun:'

...OSAKA--"Like trees shedding their leaves, autumn is the time of year when humans are said to lose the most amount of hair. Some experts attribute this to damage caused by exposure to ultraviolet rays during summer, while others say autumn is a time when much of the hair is replaced by new growth. Hair care specialists suggest gentle shampooing and getting enough sleep to maintain a healthy mane." We never knew about this.

The article, written by staff writer Michiko Nakai , goes on to explain that most heads have between 100,000 - 140,000 strands of hair, and "each strand goes through 3 phases--the anagen phase of growth, the catagen phase where the hair bulb at the base of each strand weakens, and the telogen phase when weakened hair falls off." The cycle then repeats every 5 or 6 years.

So, how much hair fallout is normal?

 

According to the article...."An average of 100 strands of hair fall out as part of this cycle per day, but according to some studies, this rate increases twofold from September to November."

 

We're not sure how many of you have noticed more hair in your hairbrush, but we thought we would bring this to your beauty attention, in case you start to experience the same.
