Rihanna Turns Up The Summer Heat In Fab Fuchsia Pink

Remember when Rihanna took home the 2014 CFDA Fashion Icon Award wearing that super naughty, see-through fishnet gown?

Well, Rihanna continues to suck up all the oxygen in the room whenever she appears for a public outing.

Last night in New York City, the mega-star was out and about in a glam, fuchsia-pink dress, with jumbo, silver hoops + bracelets, ultra-long, Cher-like, straight black extensions and sexy, fuchsia-pink lipstick.

We like the look. Rihanna is workin' it, looks confident, and likes breaking the rules.

This is what the singer revealed about her origins in Barbados when she accepted the Fashion Icon award in early June:

"I didn't have a lot of access to fashion." But, she said: "Fashion has always been my defense mechanism."  

Even as a child, she told the crowd, she used to think: "She can beat me, but she can't beat my outfit."

We respect that about Rihanna.

So, let's copy those fab fuchsia-pink lips!

Try this one by Maybelline. It's called, Maybelline® Color Sensational® Vivids Lipcolor in Fuchsia Flash.

We found a tube at Target for $5.59. We think it's a very good match!

People Mag Claims Jennifer Aniston's Super-Toned Arms From Yoga?

We LOVE People magazine, but maybe they should be careful over-exaggerating celebrities' body parts.

Here is the headline today that lured us in to read the article:

Want Jennifer Aniston's Super-Toned Arms? Here's What You Need to Know Straight from Her Yoga Instructor

 And here is the photo that People chose to show off those buff arms:

We think this is a bad photo, or Jennifer Aniston's arms are not that buff.
Here are celebrities with super-toned arms:

We've been told that the absolute BEST way to super-tone arms the quickest, is by fooling around with weights. Even a pair of 5 lb. dumbbells can TONE up the biceps + triceps FAST.  And we have no doubt that lots of yoga can also do great work for the arms, as well.

Read here about Jennifer Aniston's yoga instructor and the positions that give the beloved actress her fit figure.

Sexy Sofia Vergara Isn't Wearing Kmart But Still Looking OMG In $58 Dress!

Alright....now we can ALL copy sexy Sofia Vergara style in a $58 red, body-con dress that the TV star appears to have bought online.

Okay...wish we had HER figure, but could this inexpensive, block mesh panel maxi net dress still look gorgeous on every body?

Not so sure. We suppose when you have a tall, slender body blessed with ample curves, then most anything will look AMAZING on you.

There's Sofia at Friday evening's Hollywood Foreign Press Grants Banquet molded into the:

$58 Block Mesh Panel Bodycon Maxi Net Dress Red

The peek-a-boo, clingy maxi dress is from the British online shopping site called MyRevolvingCloset.

No it has NOT sold out yet. In fact, the fancy frock in red is available in these sizes:

UK 8 (US 4)
UK 10 (US 6)
UK 12 (US 8)
UK 14 (US 10)

Now if Kate Middleton were in this cheap, body-con dress, it would SELL OUT immediately. We think it's because of Sofia's exquisite figure. Her body makes that red dress. And few women have that knock-out silhouette, so why bother putting it on?

Will you take a chance and buy the $58 Sofia Vergara red OMG dress?

Do You Have A Haute Hat For Summer, Ladies?

The summer hat can be quite the head-turning accessory. It also serves as a sun protector for the face + neck, eyes and color-treated hair.

Maybe that's why we've been seeing a number of celebrities hangin' out in haute hats this summer.

Take a look at curvy Amber Rose in a grey, t-shirt dress and cool-looking, wide-brimmed hat She looks effortlessly chic.

Then we spot Naya Rivera on parade in sexy black from head-to-toe....boots and all. We are liking the major brim on this black, glam floppy hat. But we are wondering how Naya is standing the 100-degree temps in sunny L.A..

And then of course, we have an angel in our midst. There's Victoria's Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio exiting the airport looking haute in her haute, ivory hat.

Ladies there are STILL a lot of hot, summer days left. So if you're searching for the perfect haute summer hat, try a few on and then decide.

Macy's has a bunch of them.

We like this one by Nine West, on SALE now for $19.99.

Kiehl's New Micro-Blur Skin Perfector: For Skin Smooth As Glass!

If you're looking to go "pore-less" in the BEST sense of the word, you CAN come pretty close. But let's be truthful here....You CANNOT reduce pore size, but you can make pores appear smaller through some good topical treatments.

And we have found an excellent pore-concealer in Khiel's Micro-Blur Skin Perfector ($35, at Nordstrom's).

It's what you would call an instant skin smoother that HIDES those big, bad pores. Trust us, we have them, too.

What's in Micro-Blur?

A key beauty ingredient known as LHA or Lipo Hydroxy Acid. It's considered the stronger sister of well-known salicylic acid.

Think of it as a mini peel + makeup primer rolled into one. It allows for foundation to glide across the skin, delivering a more flawless complexion. The LHA is a powerful peeler, able to exfoliate 6 times MORE than salicylic acid.

That means smoother skin by by removal of dead skin cells.

Micro-Blur has a nice, light formula and easy to use:

"Pat it on gently. Allow it to set. Then apply foundation and a small dusting of powder."

YouTube sensation Wayne Goss gives Khiel's Micro-Blur the big thumbs up. Check out his demo right here.

Jessica Chastain: Her Trademark Red Lipstick Beauty Trick

We are lovin' Jessica Chastain's blunt bangs. She debuted them via Instagram back in June. And she's still wearing the fringe, so she must like them. too.

Meantime, we also adore the star's gorgeous red locks, sprinkle of freckles and that lovely, matte red lip that has become her red carpet trademark.

We did a little digging and found out her red lipstick beauty secret.

Jessica spoke to India Vogue magazine recently, and talked about that pretty, scarlet pout:

Jessica's Signature Red Lip

"[I wear] YSL Rouge Pur Couture The Mats lipstick in No 203 (Rouge Rock). Exfoliate your lips with a soft toothbrush and put on lip balm. Do the rest of your face, wipe off the balm, swipe on red lipstick and blot with a tissue. No liner. It's so easy that I'll wear it to the grocery store."

Yves Saint Laurent
ROUGE PUR COUTURE MAT Lipstick

Okay, maybe NOT the cheapest lipstick out there, but Yves St. Laurent means luxury in every product they create, so YSL makeup is a winner + celebrity favorite.

We found a tube at Sephora.com for $35.

So, why is this matte red lipstick such an OMG?

It's velvet-y + creamy....and a classic, rich red.

Simply elegant, Jessica.

This $4 Drugstore Liquid Liner Is Purrrrrfect For Sexy Cat Eye! Meow!

Let's be honest, the cat eye is glamorous + sexy....and yeah, this makeup look has been around for several decades now. If you consider Cleopatra's Egyptian eye makeup, then the cat eye is actually quite ancient.

And this winged eyeliner appeal has stood the test of time. At the moment, the cat-eye is STILL a hot trend. Check out Herve Leger by Max Azria and the double-lined cat-eye for Fall 2014. Purrrrrfect!

To achieve the look, you NEED black eye liner. You can go with pencil, but to create the uber cat-eye, pick up a liquid liner. The best kind to purchase is one designed like a felt tip pen.

And we have found a CHEAP, really good liquid liner that keeps you on your budget. It's LESS than $5 with tax. Come on, it's worth a try.

Even celebrity makeup artist Kristin Gallegos recommends this one:

NYC High Definition Liquid Eyeliner Extra Black ($3.99, at riteaid.com).

It's got the right form in a convenient, pen shape with an ultra fine felt tip.

We think this is a super beauty buy!
