Kylie Jenner Finally Admits That Her Big Lips Are From Dermal Fillers

At  17, we don't believe ANY teen should be getting lip injections unless her own are so incredibly thin.

But we applaud Kylie Jenner for FINALLY stepping forward to admit that her much fuller pout IS the result of dermal fillers. Kylie cops to it on a segment of  E!'s "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."

"I have had temporary lip fillers," Kylie reveals. "It's just something that I wanted to do."



These fillers Kylie claims are temporary. So that tells us, she does NOT have fat grafting, which would deliver permanent results.

So, what is injected into the youngest J-sister's lips?

Probably a hyaluronic acid like Juvederm, Perlane or Restylane. These HA fillers are great at creating big, full, sensuous lips.



New York City Plastic Surgeon Steven J. Pearlman explains the lip filler process here at RealSelf,com:

"Unfortunately, too many people are walking around with over-filled or improperly filled lips. When I perform lip augmentation, it's like you applying lipstick. First the border of the lips are filled, your "lip liner." Next we fill in the body of the lip or your "lipstick." Each person needs to be treated as an individual and different amounts are used to get a natural result. One hard and fast rule is that the lower lip should always be 1 1/2 to 2 times the size of the upper lip, so rarely do I fill just the upper lip, even though I'm often asked.

"For a young person, usually one cc if filler, either Juvederm or Restylane is used. For mature ladies looking to restore a natural cupid's bow or a beginner who is worried about looking too big we start with 1/2cc. Costs vary by region and city."

Copy VS Model Gigi Hadid's Crop Top Look For Much Less

20-year-old VS model Gigi Hadid cannot miss, even when she's in a casual crop top, distressed jeans + sneakers.

The gorgeous star was in a sexy, scarlet Diane von Furstenburg gown for last night's MET Gala 2015 in New York City.


We like Gigi because she is a healthy, curvy model. She actually looks like she eats.

Here is Gigi the day after the 2015 Met Ball, emerging from her hotel dressed super casual in striped crop top, distressed jeans, white Adidas, black biker jacket, sunglasses + simple bun.


To COPY Gigi's look for less start with this classic basic----the striped crop top.

We found a similar crop top here from Forever21 ($9.90).
.
A great deal!

Oh, Sally Hansen: Why Did You Mess With Spray On Airbrush Legs?!

Perfect, evenly-toned legs.


That's what we all desire, but when spider veins, discoloration or even just plain paleness and other blemishes are noticeable, it's hard to feel super confident.

Sally Hansen knew that and quickly monopolized the spray-on leg makeup market for years.

The company had a kick-butt product that INSTANTLY transformed imperfections into million-dollar gams.


For about $12, you could spray on Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs and get that flawless sheen, which helped make your legs look more slender and about a mile long. Found it here for $9.99 at Walmart.

Yes...You can still spray-on the Sally Hansen, but----the product has been changed, unfortunately, and we do NOT think the alterations have maintained the superiority of original Airbrush Legs.

Nope....we no longer LOVE this spray-on pantyhose as we used to. And we have raved about Airbrush Legs for years now.

Other readers brought it to our attention....and they were right. This Sally Hansen product doesn't quite measure up.

1. The spray does not absorb evenly, leaving patches of unpainted skin.
2. The finish sweats off on to furniture + clothing.
3. The finish leaves almost a sparkly,unnatural-looking sheen.

We still use this product on occasion, but are looking for another spray-on leg makeup alternative.

Olay Cleansing Cloths: Kim Kardashian's Fave Way To Clean Complexion

We rarely see the biggest, reality television star WITHOUT makeup, but Kim Kardashian does go bare-faced, especially when she's working out.

It is key to SCRUB off the makeup every night BEFORE heading to bed.

Kim has recently revealed that her FAVE way to a clean face is through the magic of Olay Daily Facials Express Wet Cleaning Cloths.



We found some here CHEAP at minimus.biz ($1.37, for 3-packet box).

Kim claims these wet facial wipes do the job, as she told Hello! mag.:

“Face wipes are my saving grace. They're so quick and easy. I love Olay Daily Facials Express Wet Cleaning Cloths because the texture is quite grainy, so they exfoliate.”

Gwyneth Paltrow Claims Coconut Oil-Pulling For Whiter, Brighter Smile

Okay....The first thing---Does Gwyneth Paltrow have big, white, fake Hollywood teeth, or is that pretty smile all her own?


The actress did wear braces as a child; plus photos depicting the beauty's smile show what appear to be her natural teeth.

The reason we ponder is because the Academy award winner recently told E! News that she REALLY does use the ancient oil-plugging technique for a whiter, brighter smile:

"I just started ‘oil pulling’, which is when you swish coconut oil around [in your mouth] for 20 minutes, and it’s supposed to be great for oral health and making your teeth white."


Gwyneth is NOT alone. Lots of people believe in this ancient Ayurvedic treatment to turn up the DAZZLE.

Oil-pulling not only claims to WHITEN teeth, but to also keep gums healthy, prevent bad breath, remove bacteria + fungus from the mouth and so on.

How exactly do you oil-pull?

Check out this excellent how-to on YouTube with Dr. Josh Axe.

There you have it.
