LeAnn Rimes Looks Prettier In Softer Lighter Lipstick----Goth Is Not her Friend..

Singer LeAnn Rimes has been hitting the celebrity music circuit this week for the pre-Grammy events. And she's been gracing the red carpet in some show-stopping numbers.

The only beauty faux pas the talented star made was in her choice of lipstick on Thursday at the Billboard "2014 Power 100" Night.

LeAnn squeezed into a sexy black leather mini.

Of course, dark or goth lips go hand-in-hand with bad-ass rock n roll + black leather.

At the moment, dark burgundy lipstick is super hot! But just because the shade is IN, does NOT mean every gal can pull it off. And for LeAnn, burgundy lips aren't doing her any favors.

We're not trying to pick on LeAnn Rimes. We think she's been upping her fashion/beauty game, and looking great.

We disliked when makeup addict Kim Kardashian sported burgundy lips as a blonde in Paris. Even her deeper olive skin could not make it look pretty.

Now take a peek at the country music darling last night at the MusicCares Person of the Year celebration honoring legend Carole King.

LeAnn changed into 2 very different gowns---one more classic, the other a bit edgy.

And then look at her softer, lighter lipstick in a pinky-nude shade. Gorgeous!

LeAnn appears more natural + attractive with a lighter touch of makeup.  The trendy burgundy lips clash with her creamy, fair complexion.

J'Adore Dior? Maybe Not When Kim Kardashian 'Krops' The 'Krap' Out Of Dior Dress

The classic luxury of Dior fashion does not appear to include a crop top + skirt combo.

But that's exactly what television's most famous reality star decided to do to a pale pink, lacey Dior dress for her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night.

So, ladies---Do you J'Adore Kim's Dior?!

As lovely as Kim Kardashian is, curves + all, we are not sure that crop tops + pencil skirts are well-suited for such a short woman. We DO like the necklace + shoes + sleek hair.

We are NOT saying the new mama isn't in good shape, because she appears to be. It all comes down to proportion for perfect fashion sense. And in this case, we are NOT j'adoring this Dior.

Crop tops + pencil skirt combos look better on taller, skinnier women. And yes, younger women, we might add. Kim's only 33, so that wouldn't apply in her case, in our humble opinion .

In fact, younger, taller K-sister, Khloe, put on a similar, Kim K crop top + skirt combo recently. We think Khloe wore it better, because of her longer body.

Kim has leaned toward a more European fashion style since hooking up with fiance Kanye West. And the reality starlet REALLY adores, or j'adores her crop top + skirt combos Take a look!

Will you rock a sexy crop top + skirt , Kardashian style in 2014?

Want Smoother, Younger-Looking Skin? Then Peel Away, Baby!

We cannot emphasize enough about the beauty routine of exfoliation, and how a peel will do you good.

We don't care how they spin it, but if you want smoother, younger-looking skin, you MUST peel. Plain + simple. And peeling is wonderful at any age.

A Chemical peel at your dermatologist is the BEST way to go. But you CAN peel or exfoliate at home, if you are careful and do your beauty homework, because you can burn your complexion badly.

If serious peels make you uneasy, you could try a gentler method that still gives you the effective benefits without all the fuss.

One of these is becoming a cult fave, and it's from Avon:

ANEW CLINICAL Advanced Retexturizing Peel

Avon has made this quick + uncomplicated. It's a jar of 30 round cotton, unscented discs.

TO USE: Glide over face. Let dry (don't wash off). Use AM or PM after cleansing, 2-3 times a week. And let the peeling, exfoliating action do its thing.

Avon explains it like this:
Peels away dullness and visible age damage so healthier looking skin can surface.

Plus....Avon claims that their Anew Clinical Advanced Retexturizing Peel ($25) is as "superior to a professional 35% glycolic peel at home."

Now those are pretty excellent results.
 Even if you did lots of sun damage over the years, a peel routine can restore a smoother, younger-looking complexion in time.

We highly recommend this method of attack.

Get Ghalichi Glam: Lilly's Super Thick Extensions For Less Than $300

We are quite intrigued with Bravo's Shahs of Sunset star Lilly Ghalici and her massive head of hair, er.....extensions, that is.

The Persian Barbie as she has been nicknamed, doesn't mind letting the world know that much of her raven voluminous do is from clip-in, Remy hair extensions.

Last evening during an episode of the reality TV show, the always glam Ghalichi showed her fans her real hair. Well, sort of. It was black and wavy, and appeared to be as short as a classic pageboy, but we're not sure if the length were rolled up in the back.

Lilly admitted to having nice hair, but also desiring the volume, something many of us wish we naturally had, too.

We found a photo of Lilly's 'real locks' from her own blog in a post from 2012. She does have NICE natural hair. And she also admits that she ONLY wears her clip-ins 5-6 times a month to keep her real hair healthy.

Lilly sells her OWN line of clip-ins. And you can get her super-thick, instant volume + length for LESS than $300.

 In the set, you get this:
•100% Remy Human Hair
•Double Drawn
•Total Pieces: 7
•Total weight: 260 grams
•Length: 20 Inches

Lilly Hair is available in 10 gorgeous shades. The set costs $289.99, and at the moment is BACK-ORDERED until Jan. 24th.

Big demand for BIG hair!

Un-Supermodel Behavior: Cara Delevingne Muddies Chanel Name With Nasty Tongue Sticking

Makes you wish for the days of the REAL supermodels---such as Cindy, Naomi, Christy, Helena, Linda, and so on.

Today, models like Cindy Crawford are in their 40s and still looking good.

 But now, society has given us the images of such forgettable models as Cara Delevingne. Yes, we said, forgettable. What a juvenile, spoiled brat, you are, Miss Cara! Hope you're banking it, honey, because NOT every model has a long, extended career.

And she's even resorted to the look-at-me, childish, Miley Cyrus behavior, nasty tongue and all.

Why would fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld ever let Cara Delevingne walk the runway for the well-respected Chanel brand? Couldn't he find some other model, without her ha, ha...I'm a model and you're not attitude?!

 It's globally embarrassing. But there she strolled along  at the Chanel haute couture show in Paris.

 So, Linda Evangelitsa bragged about not rolling out of bed for LESS than $10,000 a day. That's about the only naughty thing we recall that supermodel doing.

Cara Delevingne might be tall, super slender + wear clothes well.

Who cares?!

There are lots of women with those attributes, but weren't lucky enough to have hit the model jackpot, unfortunately.

The bizarre thing besides Ms. Delevingne's unsupermodel behavior was the footwear in Karl Lagerfeld's show.

Cara was wearing flats, but NOT ballerina. Instead, the model wore trainers (sneakers)! Sort of like Nikes, pictured here for $130.

Sorry, but we don't think trainers look beautiful with fancy clothing, no matter who is wearing them.

Get JLo Look-A-Like Black Python Clutch For Less Than $14!

Shh-hhhhhh.

We're not supposed to say, but we found a super cute, embossed faux, black python clutch like JLo's at, er......Walmart...LOL...
But you can also buy this pretty fake from Amazon, if you fell like 'upgrading' your status.

There's wealthy Jennifer Lopez photographed 3 times carrying one of her fave accessories---the  black python clutch. And yes....her leather is REAL.

Her sexy, black clutch is from Thale Blanc, the Talia Fatueux ($2,200). It comes with a chain handle. Dimensions:9"L x 3.5"H x 2.5"W.





Here is the Bundle Monster embossed faux, black clutch that's a REAL steal at just 13.99 + FREE shipping, even better than the Amazon total price.


Get it here, at Rakuten.com. Dimensions: 10" x 4.5" x 2"(L x W x H). It also comes with clip-on strap, 2 of them.

Okay, so the cheaper clutch is NO match for the glam JLo real leather clutch. That's alright. It's still a very good deal, plus it comes in lots of different colors.

When you need a black clutch in a decent size that's embossed, you CAN't beat this price.

Trying To Hide Imperfections? Put On Miracle Blur--More Than A Primer

Okay.....we all respond differently to makeup + skin care products.

Some women say it WORKS, while others claim it DOES NOT!

We have come to learn, that it is good to keep sampling various beauty products, and when your skin finds a great one, then that's half the battle.

Today, we are looking at L'Oreal's Revitalift Miracle Blur.

The print ads are effective, because the stuff promises to be an "instant skin smoother." Plus it, "erases the look of lines, pores and wrinkles in seconds." 30 seconds, that is!

Alright, that's quite the high-performing beauty item!

So, what is Miracle Blur?

You can find a small tube of it at your local CVS. It's not cheap at $24.99, but compared to a lot of primers, it's a decent deal. We suppose you could call this product a moisturizing primer of sorts. It is designed around the art of skin smoothing. It gives the face + neck a more airbrushed appearance.
And who doesn't desire that?!
