JLo Puts Her Big Girl Panties On: Booty On Parade

Big butts are still the HOT trend, as JLo shakes her money-maker in her new music video, "Booty."

Is it us.....Or is this big butt thing getting a bit out of control now?

Between Jlo, Kim Kardashian + Beyonce, enough is enough!

Of course, we cannot stop the booty love.

Meantime, when it comes to a super booty, we all want a cellulite-free behind. But cellulite, that dimply fat, affects MOST women of all shapes + sizes. Yes---even famous, gorgeous celebrities.

So what's a gal to do?

Fight back with a darn good cellulite cream. It tones down the dimples and brings back the smoothness, at least for several hours.

We found this one at Walmart----Equate Farewell Cellulite Cream, ($5.08, 6.7 oz.).  

Equate Cream contains L-Carnitine and other substances to help diminish cellulite and make skin smooth again.

Customer ratingsgive this cellulite cream 4 **** out of 5.

Orange Is Everywhere This Spring From Fashion To Beauty

Orange.

Yes--Orange is the new black this Spring + Summer!

It's not the easiest color to wear when it comes to fashion + beauty. But you can always choose a muted orange palette if you are too shy to go BOLD and beyond.

The Spring 2014 runways were all sprouting the bright color and celebrities were quick to embrace it.

Check out actress Shailene Woodley wowing in orange at a red carpet event back in March.

Then there's Reese Witherspoon glammin' it up in sexy orange, too.

If you want to be noticed when you walk into a room, then reach for a little orange or a lot of orange.


Then there is orange beauty in the form of makeup.

Today, we are looking at the gorgeous celebrities who have dressed up their lips in the citrus shade. Kate. Lupita. And Camilla.

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.

RHONYC Housewife Aviva Drinks This Beauty Supplement To Relieve Stress

Aviva Drescher.

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.

We admire Aviva's strength. She's been through a lot. Plus, she has that crazy a** father....Need we say more?

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.
