How To Get A Super Toned Butt Like Jada Pinkett Smith

We're jealous.

We just saw a photo of 42-year-old Jada Pinkett Smith enjoying a little sun + surf in gorgeous Hawaii.

We were all talking about the actress' bizarre side-cut hairstyle a few weeks ago. But what we should really be chatting about is Jada's amazing butt.

Oh, yeah. The proud mom-of-two was parading her great figure in a couple of sexy bikinis. And she has a super toned butt. Period.

So, we all know it isn't easy maintaining a fine behind after age 30, but we can all 'build' a better butt with some exercise discipline that targets the caboose.

Andie Hecker, a former New York City ballerina-turned Hollywood trainer, has this exercise for a toned booty:
The Butt Blaster
Stand with your torso upright, hands resting on a countertop or chair back. Lift one leg behind you as high as you can, while keeping your hips square to the front, and pulse up 50 times.

Not easy to do, but, er butt, this little exercise will do wonders in no time.

Kate Looks Great With Fave, Cheap Drugstore, Brown Eyeshadow Quad

Most people admire blonde beauty Kate Upton for her sexy model curves.

But did you ever notice her pretty eyes?

Let's be honest, models have access to some of the most expensive + amazing cosmetics around.

But would you believe that the all-American beauty has been wearing the SAME brown eye shadow quad for almost 10 years now?!

OK magazine says that Kate has been addicted to ColorStay's Decadent 16-Hour Eye Shadow Quad since junior high.

"I always use Revlon eye shadow," the model says. "It's a brown 4-square palette compact that I've been using since the seventh grade."


We found Kate's great quad for just $7.99 at CVS.

As Cindy Crawford, another supermodel once suggested--- BROWN is your best makeup friend:

"It's less harsh than black, it goes with everything, and it's impossible to mess up. For day, I do variations of brown shadow, either matte or shimmer," Cindy said.

Then brown eye shadow is a no-brainer, ladies.

Grey Skinny Jeans Are The Hot Trend: Gisele + Kim Know

Skinny jeans are here to stay. And grey is the HOT trend.

Just watch celebrities like Gisele Bundchen + Kim Kardashian. They have been photographed a number of times in the classic neutral.

Gotta LOVE a grey rinse! You can go light like Kim's or charcoal grey like Gisele's.

Plus, putting on grey sets a different look than every day blue denim.

We think grey skinny jeans give off an edgy style. And apparently both Sarah Jessica Parker + Nicky Hilton agree.

 
 

You can easily copy the celebrity grey skinny jeans look, and on the cheap, too.

Look at the pair we found at the 15DollarStore.

Yeah....$15 for VELVET HEART Grey Faded Whiskered Stretch Skinny Jeans. These retail for $118!

These are HOT in a light, grey wash--just like Kim K's pair.

Will you go grey this winter?

Need A Better Facial Cleanser? Try Rice --It's Nice!

What would rice and all its starch have to do with softer, healthier skin?

Plenty!

According to the Juara skin care company, rice can do this for you:

"Rice starch, known for its soothing and softening properties, helps prevent moisture loss by enhancing the skin's protective barrier. Also rich in amino acids and proteins naturally found in rice.".

Juara makes a wonderful Rice Facial Cleanser for $25. It's a gentle foaming cleanser that can swiftly rinse away stale makeup + debris, while at the same time, help skin LOCK IN moisture. Plus, it's great for ALL skin types.

Rice water rinses have been around for a very long time in Asia. For centuries,  women there have been using rice water for healthy, glowing skin and hair.

Miranda Kerr's Soft Skin Secret? Rosehip Body Oil

Miranda Kerr has to have an exquisite body because she's a famous Victoria's Secret model. That's a no-brainer.

So, that means the glam mom to little Flynn must be in top, fit shape. Plus, that also includes having touchable, soft skin.

Miranda's secret?

KORA Organics Luxurious Rosehip Body Oil ($55.05, at KORAorganics.com).

Miranda is a smart cookie, having launched her KORA cosmetics line in 2009.

The Aussie beauty also ranked 2nd in Forbes magazine's World's Highest-Paid Models of 2013. The VS angel took home a pretty haul of $7.2 million this year.

Wow...Who needs Orlando Bloom?

But, Miranda tells Cosmopolitan mag that her hubby (soon to be ex) Orlando loved to steal one of her fave beauty pleasures:

The KORA Luxurious Rosehip Body Oil.

We don't blame him.

So---how do you use rosehip oil?

Here's Miranda's advice:

"For the ultimate bath experience put a few drops of KORA Organics Luxurious Rosehip Body Oil into the bath to create a super moisturising bath experience. Alternatively, for a great after shower or after bath experience, warm several drops of this delicate, luxurious oil in the palms of the hands and rub all over the body into moistened skin. An essential multi-purpose, nourishing body oil designed to hydrate and illuminate the skin."

Bombshell Blonde Hair Ruled The AMA Red Carpet

Maybe Kim Kardashian is on to something.

Bombshell blonde hair is a HOT, sizzling`trend, at least in Hollywood on the red carpet.

For proof, just take a look at the American Music Awards(AMA) last evening. We saw a lot of bottled blonde locks with tell-tale dark roots showing.

And it all looked sexy. We're singling out Ciara and her brand new blonde bob. Check out her glam gown!

Then there is Aubrey O'Day, looking very Kim K in an extreme, peek-a-boo red dress.

And Versace's new muse, Lady Gaga, looking definitely Donatella-chic.

Last, but certainly NOT least, Christina Aguilera with her trademark Monroe bleached beauty. Just a platinum dream. And her new body is killer!

If you wish to keep up the bombshell blonde beauty, be prepared to pay a lot for the maintenance.
