Bye-Bye Double Chin: New Injectable Nearing Final FDA Approval

Double chin.

It can happen at almost any age. A double chin can be caused by genetics, and how your body determines its fat storage + water retention. Age can also cause a double chin as skin sags. And being obese can also definitely give one a double chin.

The wonderful + exciting beauty news is the quick double chin fix! It's almost here!

The Food + Drug Administration is just awaiting final approval of ATX-101 before the public can try this non-invasive, non-surgical, 5-minute treatment.

Instead of costly, serious surgery this anti-double chin drug can swiftly ZAP away excess skin UNDER the chin.

ATX-101 in injected in a grid of tiny dots under the chin, causing the fat cells to BURST, permanently removing a double chin. In about 3 days, the injection site heals, and without a bandage.

The cost of the treatment is not known yet, but insurance will NOT cover the procedure.

This appears to be a major beauty breakthrough for 2015.

Jennifer Lopez Makeup Disaster Last A.I.: Missing Smoky Eyes

Jennifer Lopez could care less what we think, but we're going to say it anyway,  just like many other folks wondering what's up with the makeup, girlfriend?!

You would expect us to make a cosmetics blooper like the one pictured below from American Idol 2 days ago.

Let's face it...we certainly do NOT have a professional makeup artist for any day, evening or red carpet event, so odds are we will mess up our makeup from time-to-time.

But A.I. judge Miss JLo, what gives
???

Is that a light gray or white-ish eye shadow?

Hmmm. We're not sure.

JLo you NEED your smoky eyes back. This current makeup DON'T is not doing you any favors, even though you have divine bone strcture + killer brows.

Below, check out the smoky eye JLo we all know + love:

Jennifer Lopez is a gorgeous, global ambassaador for L'OrealParisUSA.

So '70s Suede For Spring 2015: Let's All Smell Like Patchouli Oil, Giuliana!

We happen to REALLY like suede. We think it is smart, sexy + boho chic. That's why we are thrilled that 70s SUEDE vibe is back for Spring 2015.

Yes, Giuliana Rancic, er, maybe we can ALL smell like patchouli oil now.  LOL

Seriously though, suede this Spring is a nice touch ---in outerwear like jackets, shift dresses, trench coats, leggings, skirts, vests, pants and bags.

Suede isn't just brown. And it doesn't have to be bulky + rugged. Suede is HOT, along with some long, hippie fringe!

Just look at these gem-colored, rich, suede style samples from the Spring runways of Derek Lam, Gucci + Trussardi.

Now, if you SPILL something on suede, well, you're on your OWN.

Can you say dry clean!

Still, suede has an understated beauty about it. And it can be very expensive. Look at this sexy, black fringe skirt from Valentino The cost---$5,890 and almost SOLD OUT here.

By the way, FAUX suede is alright, too. You can fool people wearing it.

Look at these inexpensive pieces from Forever 21:

Forever 21 Faux Suede Vest  $44.90

Faux Suede Jacket $32.90

Jennifer Lopez Master Of The Nude Lip: Can You Wear It + Look Alive?

Let's face it.....Nude lips are gorgeous if you can find the perfect, nude shade that doesn't allow you to look like you're at death's door.

Beautiful beige lips are HOT for Fall 2015.  The color was ALL over the runways....Burberry, Prada and so on.... 

Jennifer Lopez is one celebrity who has mastered the nude lip flawlessly. Found these on her Instagram page. She wears the nude lip so well.

So, how do you wear the nude lip and still look ALIVE?

We found some beauty help at the NYTimes.com. Seriously.

Yes, under Fashion & Style, they gave advice. Really.

Celeb makeup artist Troy Surratt told the NY Times.com this about nude lipstick success:

......There’s the matte nude, “which reads cadaver,” Mr. Surratt said. Go too pasty, where “the nude doesn’t have enough contrast between the skin surrounding your mouth, and you get mannequin mouth.”

Yikes,

Troy says to buy a creamy lipstick with opacity:

.....“You need the pigment to cover your own natural lip color, which is why most glosses don’t work,” he said. (After trying several brands, I’ve found I like the Nars Audacious formula, which is richly pigmented yet doesn’t settle in fine lip lines.)

NARS Audacious Lipstick seen here in shade Raquel. is NOT cheap at $32 a tube, but the quality is exceptional according to many makeup pros. Check them out here.

Troy Surratt will be launching his OWN nude lip-crayon collection later this March.

Meantime, experiment with NUDES, until you nail the right one.

Naomi Campbell Workin' Wavy, Long Hair: Take Note For Fall 2015

Hair. Hair. Hair.

Platinum. Platinum. Platinum.

Okay, we've been talking plenty about Kim Kardashian's new platinum do, and the HOT trend it has become at Paris Fashion Week.

But what about the other looks we saw, namely on the cat-walk queen herself, Naomi Campbell!

We LOVE how she looked when she walked for Zac Posen's Fall 2015 show.

Plus, this hairstyle does NOT require the super-duper, high maintenance of the perfect peroxide blonde.



 Her blunt bangs and softly waved, long hair showed a controled glamour. So take note for Fall 2015.

You will need this styling tool:

A 1.5 inch barrel curling iron.

Begin on dry hair. Keep hair at the top flat. Section 1-inch pieces of hair and mist with heat protection spray. Then wrap the section around the curling iron, and repeat until the entire head is curled..

Brush out waves for movement; for a variation, part hair to side and tuck behind ears.

Need a good curling iron?

Try this one from Marcel ($54). 

The Hot Tools Ceramic Tourmaline 1.5 Inch Marcel Iron makes it easy to create extra-large curls + waves while keeping hair soft, shiny + frizz-free.

We like this refined glamour.

Bleached Blonde Platinum Beauty: Sexy But Super High Maintenance

Platinum blonde.

It's quite sexy. And it definitely turns every head in the room, but if you're a brunette and you're trying to keep it really light, you're in for an expensive, high-maintenance ride.

Kim Kardashian has stolen the spotlight away from everyone with her blinding,  bleached head. And she admits she had to stop by already for some toner at Paris Fashion Week, so she could get that platinum pizazz even lighter + brighter!

Check out this new photo from People magazine.

We LOVE the dark brows and platinum hair combo. Kim looks gorgeous here.

Gwen Stefani does platinum blonde the BEST way we  know, because she NEVER allows one tiny, dark root to show, that's because her bleached blonde beauty requires  extreme maintenance.

We've used these Gwen quotes before, and here we share, again from an interview the mega-star gave to Harper's Bazaar:

 "Do you think Marilyn Monroe had to talk about this?" she asks smiling. "Well, I heard she did hers with a Q-tip every 10 days, so I try to follow Marilyn's rule." I mention that she's never been photographed with dark roots, and she points to the houndstooth fedora she is wearing. "And you'll never see me with roots either."

We love what this girly-girl says about discovering the beauty of bleach and those sexy red lips:

Gwen recalls how she felt when, age of 25, she spent eight hours in a hair salon in Long Beach getting her coveted white-blonde locks. "It was like I'd unlocked the key. I remember feeling like, 'I have arrived. This is me. Finally.'" The red lip came when her grandmother gave her a crimson lipstick when she was in high school. "I remember sitting in my ghetto, beat-up Honda Prelude and putting on that lipstick in the rearview mirror and being like, 'Uh-huh, I like that. That's the shit right there.' I never stopped after that."

Would you go this route (root), so to speak, to turn platinum, and ride the HOT trend?
