Perfect Close Leg Shave: Trader Joe's Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, $6.

Shaving our legs.

Not the most fun part of the beauty routine, but when you can get a smooth, close shave, that's what makes the process worthwhile.

 So our quick, beauty tip for today:

 Perfecting the close shave with coconut oil

 And not just any coconut oil. We suggest this FAVE--Trader Joe's Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, for about $6!

And a generous amount---16 oz.

Hey, Juliette Lewis LOVES coconut oil and uses it for a TON of purposes.

You probably read the NYTimes.com article last week, in which she raves about the oil:

"I’m really into coconut oil for everything. I cook it, eat it, put it in my hair and use it as body lotion. I put it on my face, too — day cream, night cream, whatever. I love the smell. It reminds me of the beach. I’m not particular on what brand as long as it’s organic."

 To get that smooth shave, apply coconut oil AFTER you come out of a hot shower.

Massage the coconut oil all over your damp legs. Then use a sharp razor and go to town, shaving in the same direction your hair grows in.

The coconut oil will allow the blade to SMOOTHLY glide across your legs.

Kim Kardashian Shows Off Bigger Lips + Claims Effective Makeup

Does she or doesn't she?

Kim Kardashian + baby sister Kylie Jenner both get mega attention for their alleged, cosmetically-enhanced BIG lips.

REAL or FAKE, who knows?

And both reality stars don't mind the extra attention either, because they both continue to post lip selfies + more lip selfies.

Here is Kim's latest Twitter pic:

She added this caption:  New Avi Alert #LipLinerOnFleek

If you follow celeb makeup artists, you would know that Avi is a super pro. Check out his portfolio---gorgeous makeup!

Avi Edri does both makeup + hair.

We are still NOT sure if this is cleverly applied lipstick  + lip liner, or just Kim K with new, bigger lip injections.

Same with Kylie.

Whatever it is, she wears it well. But seriously, folks, isn't this big lip madness over-played now?!

Not sure how long Kim will keep up the platinum blonde do, but she reminds many of us of the icon herself, CHER, who's been there + done that.

Want bigger fuller lips like the K + J sisters without the injections?

Try this lip plumper by Dior Addict Lip Maximizer High Volume Lip Plumper, $33.

Sephora customers LOVE this lip plumper---giving it 4 stars **** out of 5 stars***** with 671 reviews.

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.
