We admit. We are a mascara freak....and proud of it. Cannot live without this beauty staple.
So when a NEW mascara comes to town, we will tell you all about it. Here we are---already 2015.
Rimmel London Wonder'Lash ($8.99, at ULTA stores).
What's so wonder'ful about NEW Wonder'Lash?
The formula is infused with argan oil, somehow. and yet, it's NOT a greasy product.
If we believe the beauty hype about Rimmel London, then we can expect soft, healthy lashes with shine + volume.
Wonder'Lash comes in Black and Extreme Black. Plus the mascara wand or brush looks pretty decent.
We like Rimmel London mascaras. They are drugstore inexpensive and have nice, build-able volume.
Wonder Bra and now....Wonder'Lash. It was bound to happen soon.

The Jumpsuit Remains HOT This Winter As Gwyneth Paltrow Proves In Nude
Jumpsuit. The word either elicits an UGH or a WOW.
If you like this 70's style, then start putting your body into one. Yeah, we know....hate it when you have to use the bathroom, but still---a jumpsuit can flatter every body type and give off the illusion of longer legs + a slimmer figure.
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow showed off her body in a nude, silk Valentino jumpsuit with ruffle detail on theTonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last evening.
Yeah...we can see your Spanx, Gwyneth! But that's okay. She has a great figure and smart enough to know that a curve-hugging jumpsuit in NUDE will show just about everything, so best to keep the body looking SMOOTH before slipping into one of these.
We found a COPY-CAT jumpsuit in nude for much, much LESS. Check out British fashion label Boohoo. Here's a Steffy Wrap Over Silky Jumpsuit for just $35!
Plus...this one looks a bit more comfy + looser than the jumpsuit Gwyneth has poured herself into.
Okay then....Jumpsuits now in winter....Or will you wait until spring to get in one?

Get Amal Clooney's Gorgeous Red Carpet Goddess Gown For So Much Less--$159!
Okay, so you DON'T have to wear the white opera gloves.....But we LIKED Amal Clooney's first red carpet appearance at Sunday evening's Golden Globes awards show in L.A..
And now you, too, can COPY Amal's expensive, Dior Couture goddess gown for only $159 from David's Bridal.
Why spend thousands$$$ when you can get a decent knock-off for so much less?!
Let's take a look at the striking, human rights lawyer and recently married Mrs. Clooney.
We would have preferred the gloves were in black and + form-fitting. But otherwise, the gloves as part of the ensemble are fine by us, and if Amal were going for old Hollywood glam, we think she nailed it nicely.
At David's Bridal, we found 2 black, one-shoulder gowns to choose from--each one at an affordable $159. One has the sari effect Amal is displaying here. The other gown, minus the long sash. Either way, the look is simple + chic--classic,
We think the gown without the sari (photo2) looks more like Amal's dress if it didn't have the sash (sari).
We look forward to more Amal style in the upcoming awards shows!

Golden Globes Winner Julianne Moore Wears L'Oreal's New Age Perfect Cell Renewal Cream
Congratulations, Julianne Moore!
The beautiful redhead is beaming with pride today, after having won a Golden Globe award last night for her poignant portrayal of a 50-year-old linguistics professor with early onset Alzheimer's in the movie, "Still Alice."
Gutsy performance by a great actress. And at age 54 and looking so gorg, we wonder how Julianne keeps it together. Her complexion alone, appears quite luminous.
Maybe this new product is key to her warm glow:
L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renewal Cream ($21.24, on SALE at ULTA).
Yes, Julianne Moore is an ambassador for the major beauty company, but we believe she has tried this product.
So, what's Age Perfect Cell Renewal Cream all about?
It helps skin get smoother, more radiant + brighter with increased firming.
Plus it has an SPF 15 sunscreen, which can only help.
To Use:
Every morning, smooth gently over the face, neck and upper chest until thoroughly absorbed. Use alone or under makeup daily. For best results, use this product in conjunction with Age Perfect Cell Renewal Serum and Night Cream in your skincare regimen.
L'Oreal claims that in one month, your skin's surface will appear renewed, firmer, more dense + full of life.
Sounds pretty promising and worth the price to try it out,

Lipstick Etiquette: Rihanna Doesn't Play By the Rules
Re-applying lipstick in public.....Hmmm....That can be a tricky thing to do.
The etiquette experts say that you should play around with your makeup in private, but Rihannadoesn't play by ANYONE's rules, and maybe that's why we love her even more.
Not that the superstar committed a crime, but there she was Friday night at Jay Z's 2015 Throne Boxing Fight Night in New York, in the middle of a big crowd, in the middle of a big boxing match, and she whips out her tube + compact. And the shade is in bright, bold red. LOL
We love her makeup look, by the way...Gorgeous cool, simple cat-eye + bold, red lip. Nothing over-done . Quite elegant.
And Emily Post, the grand dame of etiquette, would be applauding Rihanna for the quick lipstick re-apply in public BUT---only if it's done WITHOUT the compact, done very fast and done in the company of a small table of friends:
"In general, personal grooming should be done in private for the simple reason that it can be annoying and it's tacky. ... When in doubt, don't do it, such as when you're at a business meal or with people you don't know very well."

Oh, No---Daria! Supermodel Brings Back Hairy Armpit Look
Okay.....This is what supermodel Daria Werbowy usually looks like when she's modeling before the camera.
Classic, polished + elegant. Plus, 31-year-old Daria is the new face for Celine Resort 2015.
And now here is Daria, again a few days ago, showing the world her natural look---hairy armpits included, on photographer Cass Bird's Instagram page.
No...this isn't anything new. Plenty of big-name celebs have showed us their hairy armpits before. Here are a few of them, in case you have forgotten:
Oh, Sophia Loren! Not you, too?!
We know how we feel about armpit hair. Personally we despise it showing. We SHAVE it off every day even when we are too lazy or tired to lift a shaver.
Is this now fashionable, again? Or is it a feminist thing, again?
Some men are turned on by women with hairy armpits...and some women are, too.
How do you feel about it?
Are hairy armpits alright or just plain gross?
