Pretty Pink Lipstick So Spring 2015: Copy J Law's Met Ball Glam

People keep talking + talking about the recent 2015 Met Ball and the incredible fashion/beauty risks that followed.

We were drawn to the glamour, too, especially the pretty pink lips that appeared on big stars like Jennifer Lawrence (J Law), J Lo, Bey and several other Hollywood hotties.

For J Law in her simple top-knot, it was all about her bronzed beauty + pink pout. Take a look:

Very polished, fresh and NOT overdone.

You can COPY J Law's look:

She had on Rouge Dior Brilliant Lipshine in Hollywood ($35, at Nordstrom's).

That's a powerful pop of PINK, but can be blotted down. And it looks lovely on most skin tones.

Dior beauty ambassador Natalie Portman also appears to wearing Hollywood lipshine in this photo lay-out.

It's pretty in pink for spring.

Why not give it a whirl?

You can't go wrong with a classic, sophisticated palette.

L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara: 9 Year Old Cult Fave

$8.

That's all you need to create a gorgeous set of super-long lashes!

This isn't a new mascara; instead this is a 9 year old cult fave beauty product:

L'Oreal Telescopic Carbon Black Mascara

We heard beauty blogger Carli Bybel of YouTube fame talking about this incredible mascara, again recently.

It's her FAVE mascara for achieving the longest lashes. Plus L'Oreal has added a new, flexible, pink precision brush. 

In her vids, Carli appears the to use the 'original' Telescopic mascara with the black wand/brush. We found that one here at L'OrealParis.com.

YouTube Star Carli Bybel

Watch Carli Bybel in her simple, everyday makeup routine.here on YouTube. She uses the L'Oreal Telescopic mascara and it makes a HUGE difference in the length of her lashes. And the formula makes her pretty eyes look even LARGER.

We are going to run out and buy a tube of this ASAP. We found some at Walmart for $7.99.

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.

Duchess Kate Gives Birth And Hair Still Looks Amazing With Bouncy Curls!

Okay, Kate, Duchess of Cambridge.....CONGRATS to you + Will. That baby girl is soooo precious!

And you know what else is precious? Your HAIR, Kate, and those signature, bouncy curls!

 
That crowning glory ALWAYS looks FAB.

We are sure that Kate had her royal glam squad on hand to get her ready for the big, post-baby photo op ....but still, the Duchess of Cambridge looks incredible.

Her Chelsea blow-out  + soft curl hairstyle are copied around the world.

If you, too, would like to get Kate's princess style, then check out this new YouTube vid How-To straight from London. Click on Pantene UK.

By the way, we LOVE the name Charlotte. Excited to see what Kate + Will will name their newest bundle of joy!

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.

Kim still looks pretty darn pretty sans cosmetics, but we ALL have our complexion challenges, be they dark circles, blemishes, spots, fine lines, etc.

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.” 

An excellent beauty tip, Kim!
