How To Get Copy-Cat Caramel Color Highlights Like Jennifer Lopez

Let's face it. A lot of women idolize Jennifer Lopez.

Her fans beg for any beauty tips that the sexy, Latina superstar follows---from head to toe.

And many people especially LOVE JLo's long, golden-brown locks. They're known as caramel highlights. The result is a natural-looking case of ALMOST blonde.

Here's the skinny on how to COPY-CAT Jennifer's flattering hair shade.

1. JLo keeps the base color brown to enhance her complexion.

2. Ask your stylist to give you a light brown base.

3. Have your pro give you caramel-colored highlights all over your head, concentrating the caramel glow around the mid-length and the ends of the hair.

4. Have your stylist add the lightest points toward the tips of the layers.

If you want to CARAMEL-IZE your locks by yourself, then weave in thin ribbons of caramel highlights from mid-shaft down.

Better to start with thin ribbons of highlight. That way, you can ALWAYS add more , to get that extra JLo glow on.

Try a box of this:

L'Oreal Paris Touch-On Highlights Creamy Caramel H60 ($13.79, at CVS).

Read the reviews. Customers rate the product a 3.9 stars out of 5 stars.

She's quite the live wire this season on RHONYC. Some would say that the blonde reality star is really a mean girl who likes to ruffle feathers.

This is an interesting little nugget we found about the pretty cast member. Aviva believes in drinking a powdered, lemon-flavored supplement to provide STRESS relief.

In fact, this NYC housewife helped create the good-for-you drink mix. It's called Tranquil Day. And you can find some at GNC ($24.99).








This yummy drink mix is chock full of magnesium, calcium, potassium + vitamin D to calm down the body + balance electrolytes.

"It's amazing. I feel calm and alert," Aviva says. "Plus, it has no side effects and it's healthy!"

Well, silly Ramona gives us a throbbing headache. We could see where this might come in useful.

Kardashian Stylist Claims Biotin Supplement Keeps Hair Healthy + Shiny: But Proceed With Caution

Matrix celebrity stylist George Papanikolas who's client list includes both Khloe + Kim Kardashian, has his own beauty tip for beautiful hair.

And we've all heard about this one before.

A lot of hair professionals claim that it's BIOTIN to the rescue!

 And Mr. Papanikolas agrees: "Gorgeous hair color starts from the inside. Supplementing your diet with biotin keeps hair healthy + shiny," he says to Star magazine. 

So, what's the scary deal about biotin?

Biotin is actually a water-soluble B-vitamin. And research shows that this supplement can make hair grow faster and healthier---the same for nails, too. But there are a few precautions to consider:

1. First---pregnant women + children should not take biotin unless prescribed by a doctor.

2. Biotin can cause acne or break-outs.

3. Some users of biotin can also experience cramping, nausea + diarrhea.

4. If allergic to this supplement, you  can develop an itchy rash, tightening of the chest, or swelling of the face + throat.

5. If you are trying to get pregant, biotin can cause miscarriage.

A deficiency in biotin is very rare. The MayoClinic.com states that there is NO established recommended dietary allowance. However---30-100mcg for adults


There are 1,000 micrograms in every milligram (mg), so 5,000 mgs. of biotin is too high a dose.

We found a chewable, yummy form of Biotin. We found it at Walmart for $4.92.

Liv Tyler Complains About Jowls At 36: Plastic Surgeons Say Cheeks Maintain Youth.

Oh, Liv Tyler...You sound so silly.

This striking woman, the daughter of rock legend Steven Tyler has opened up and been honest about her own fears of getting older. At age 36, we still think Liv looks lovely, as this recent photo shows.

Liv spoke to Glamour magazine's July issue in which she admits seeing some changes happening to her famous face, but that she's taking these observations in stride.

....."The jowls I got from my dad seem more pronounced. I've got a couple of grey hairs,' Liv added. "But I've noticed that when I'm happy and healthy on the inside - eating well, laughing with my best friend - I feel more beautiful on the outside."

So, could a woman in her 30's already develop jowls, the lower part of a person's cheeks, especially when these are fleshy or drooping.

Yes, it's possible, especially if your bone structure features a longer face + jaw, whereas a fuller, rounder face can develop a turkey neck + more sagging below the chin.

It IS tough for women to start aging when our society doesn't like to see the female species get older.

Keeping killer cheekbones will maintain one's youth say most plastic surgeons. And if you feel your face is too flat, you CAN fake it.

We stumbled onto one of the BEST YouTube videos about what fillers can do for INSTANT face rejuvenation. Take a look at this from Dr. David C. Mabrie, cosmetic surgeon, San Francisco area.

Amazing!

CG Bombshell Volume Mascara: Thumbs Up By Paula's Choice But Buyer Beware Of Losing Lashes?

CoverGirl has always enjoyed a great reputation for makeup.....until now. The gigantic beauty company has picked up some major buzz, and it isn't complimentary, either.

One young woman has come recently come forward to complain about CG's Bombshell Volume by LashBlast Mascara. She claims she lost several lashes because the formula makes it difficult to remove the waterproof mascara.

And she is not alone. We have been reading a few more complaints about the Bombshell's hard, sticky, clumpy mascara that is "impossible to remove."

The formula is comprised of a 2-step process---1. mascara  2. top coat.

How could CG Bombshell mascara be a DUD if actress Sofia Vergara wears it + promotes it for the brand?

Even expert beauty reviewer, Paula's Choice, has given CG Bombshell Volume by LashBlast Mascara HIGH 5's, the BEST of the BEST for 2014.

BUT-------Under CONS.....Paula's Choice does admit this:

Requires extra effort with makeup remover to make sure it's all off.

And Paula's Choice DOES again mention the difficulty trying to remove this formula:

"Bombshell Volume wears all day, without smearing or flaking. It's actually difficult to remove completely without extra effort, even using an oil- or silicone-based remover; your regular cleanser will break this down only to a point, so be sure to have makeup remover handy!"

CG suggests using their CoverGirl Clean Eyes Makeup Remover for Eyes & Lips ($4.99, at Walgreens.

Read on. These Makeup Alley reviewers aren't shy about their distaste of CG's Bombshell mascara and the possibility of losing lashes trying to remove the stuff.

Now...Does this concern you about Cover Girl Bombshell Volume by LashBlast Mascara?

And will giant company CoverGirl take action to either improve the formulaor toss it out of their mascara lineup?
