Oh My! It's L'Oreal's New Miss Manga Mascara For Those Doll-Like Lashes!

We've said this before....We are a mascara freak. CANNOT live without this key beauty item. And yeah....we LOVE doll-like lashes.

Welcome to L'Oreal's newest mascara on the beauty block:

VOLUMINOUS MISS MANGA MASCARA ($7.99, at ULTA).

Say what? What is a manga?

Don't worry. We had to look up the origin. Apparently, the manga stands for Japanese comics. And female manga eyes are drawn thick + long or as doll-like lashes.

Take a look at an example that we found at WikiHow.

Now it all makes sense. We love the clever advertising by L'Oreal.

And let's face it.....Who doesn't adore big, beautiful dark lashes?

Why is Voluminous Miss Manga different?

It gives you "great volume on the top and bottom. The brush has a 360 degree flexor that helps you build up to 15x the volume in a flash."

Plus the new masacara has gotten great reviews, 3.9* out of 5* so far.

Wigs And Weaves Crown MTV Awards: It's All Good

We still cannot get over Amber Rose's super naughty, flapper's chain-mail dress at last night's MTV Awards.

There was some crazy clothing parading at this annual anything goes affair.

Then there was the HAIR.....And LOTS of LOCKS.

Wigs and weaves....Oh my!

Take a look for yourself.....

1. Solange, possibly paying homage to the great Diana Ross?

2. Ariana Grande with a half-up, half-down style.

3. Rita Ora + Iggy Azalea in blonde ambition.

4. Nicki Minaj in long, romantic ringlets.

5. And Fifth Harmony in just about every weave possible.

The beauty lesson here?

Hair has become an INSTANT fashion accessory.

Change up the color, the length, the texture or the style. It's all good.

Are You Silly For Septum Rings? Hot Trend Of The Moment

Septum rings.

This example of body piercing has been around for a very long time now. And at the moment, this has sky-rocketed as a HOT trend.

You can FAKE it without the real piercing. There are faux septum rings. That's how Jessica Biel wore hers when she showed up at the 2013 Met Gala's Punk Theme party.

But lots of celebs REALLY withstand the jab + sting!! of a genuine septum piercing...such as Rihanna, Lady Gaga + Scarlett Johansson.

Don't want to make the "hole" commitment?

Then buy a fake septum ring for about $5 at Etsy.com.

Are you into the septum rings trend?

Or -Do you only pierce your ears?

Always Glam Rihanna Reaches For Just Lipstick When She Doesn't Want To Try So Hard.....

Don't feel like making a full, beauty effort?

We all have days like those.....But you should wear something BEFORE you head out the door, and we're NOT talking colorless chapstick.

Copy Rihanna.

The mega-star spoke to Elle magazine in their September issue. And this is what she revealed:

Her favorite beauty product: “Lipstick. It draws attention away from any flaws. When someone is wearing lipstick, you just assume they’re wearing a full face of makeup. And guys are stupid–they won’t notice when you’re not.”

Well, Rihanna makes a point. Lipstick delivers an instant pop of color + warmth to the face.

Speaking of pretty, painted lips.....There is also Viva Glam Rihanna by MAC.

..."The pop icon brings a bold look to her fierce new VIVA GLAM campaign, accenting her fearless, confident style with shades of frosted metallic mauve Lipstick and Lipglass, in velvety soft red packaging featuring her signature. Also available, the modern red hues of Rihanna’s original VIVA GLAM collection. Every cent of the selling price of VIVA GLAM Rihanna goes toward helping women, men and children living with and affected by HIV/AIDS..."

Viva Glam Rihanna Tinted Lipglass ($15)

Want Longer Hair Really Fast? Then Try These 2 Methods....

When you're trying to GROW your hair out, it seems like it takes F-O-R-E-V-E-R....

Today we are looking at Not Your Mother's Way To Grow Leave-In Conditioner. We found a bottle for $7.99 at ULTA.

Will this hair stuff grow you an inch in one week? Probably not.....But it's got some decent ingredients in it, to help srengthen + encourage new, healthy hair growth.

Procapil is the "magic thing" added to Way To Grow.

Procapil has been called a new breakthrough formula that fortifies hair and prevents hair loss naturally. Procapil combines these ingredients:

Vitaminated matrikine with apigenin and oleanolic acid that make up 2 powerful functions that zero in on the main areas of hair loss.

You could also try the Inversion Method to G-R-O-W One Inch of Hair in 7 Days.....Sort of a cult fave method that some people claim REALLY works. Well, it wouldn't hurt to try it.

 You can research it. The Inversion Method for Hair Growth is all over the internet, especially on YouTube. It involves an scalp oil massage and then bending head over for 4 minutes. Do that once a day, for 7 days, once a month.

We had never heard about the inversion method until today, when we began researching the topic of growing longer hair faster.

So, here it is. Check out this YouTube video by Dessy GT.

And good luck growing longer hair faster!

Orange County Housewife Star Heather Dubrow Stays Youthful With Sculptra Injections

We're still reeling after the season finale of the Real Housewives of Orange County on Bravo Monday night.

The Dubrow power couple were on fire!

Heather and her plastic surgery husband + "Botched" star Terry went on the attack right after the Beadors. What a loony dinner party that was, all laid out in a fancy, Bali-esque theme at Vicki's palatial estate.

So FUN to watch. In case you missed it, take a look at Doctor Terry try and annihilate David + Shannon here on BRAVO.

Meanwhile.....We thought it was fascinating to learn how the wealthy wife of a well-respected plastic surgeon claims SHE maintains her youthful looks at age 45.

Recently, Heather Dubrow was asked by host Andy Cohen ("Watch What Happens Live") if her husband had ever 'done anything surgically' to her, Terry chimed in:

"I fixed an umbilical hernia on her abdomen after the kids."

The former NY beauty queen added of the procedures she has had:

"I get Botox and I get some Sculptra when I get really thin."

There you have it. Botox cosmetic. Yes, many women + men from around the globe receive these popular injections to halt forehead wrinkles + crow's feet.

But Sculptra?

Heather is admitting to facial filler which Sculptra is, but it is more of a permanent filler which commonly leads to lumps or nodules. And it is difficult to remove if you don't like the results.

Another point, Sculptra takes months to deliver on facial volume. It's a s-l-o-w collagen builder.

Multiple treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, are the norm. Some lucky people respond to a single Sculptra treatment, but 2 or 3 is more typical,

So, why would Heather opt for Sculptra, when hyaluronic fillers like Restylane, Juvederm + Perlane can do the job instantly, and can be reversed if and when something goes wrong.

We will take the Dubrows at their word.

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!
