Yes, There Is Power In Makeup---Why All The Shaming?

We're just happy that someone finally opened their mouth and stood up for women who actually LIKE wearing makeup.....

"Not that there's anything wrong with that."  Ha ha.

There have been lots of makeup shaming photos + posts lately.
.
We wonder why?

Sure, we believe like every woman that we are MORE than our makeup.

Of course we are. But what is wrong with wearing some mascara, foundation, blush or lip gloss?

Why should women feel shamed when weaing makeup?

Seriously.

There is power in makeup, and thus the growing social media campaign, called the power of makeup.

Take a look here on Instagram.

Arm Liposuction Is Real: Then You Can Recyle Fat Into Butt For Sexier Shape

So much pressure on women to be P-E-R-F-E-C-T.

We just saw a quick piece on liposuctioning back arm fat, then taking that flab and recycling into the butt via injections for a Kardashian/Lopez behind.

To see what this looks like Before + After click here on YouTube.

Well, we are ALL for re-cycling, but really now!

Round, BIG butts remain the rage for women around the globe.

And injections or a fat transfer appear to be the most popular way to go, otherwise known as the Brazilian Butt Lift.

Kylie Jenner has come under attack by those accusing the young reality TV star of getting butt injections to look more like her big sister Kim.

Kylie has only recently admitted to some lip filler, NOT booty filler.

We are certainly NOT here to judge on who's getting fat or filler injections, just trying to discuss the body trends going on at the moment.

What do you think? Cool idea to transfer useless fat into amazing butt?

The Perfect Beach Cover-Up: Hey, It Is Summer!

Victoria's Secret ALWAYS features SEXY undies + swimwear, but did you ever wonder about their cover-ups?

We found a gorgeous one with glam rhinestones, semi sheer and in a linen knit.

Plus it's on SALE for $88.

Can you say gorgeous?

This comes in doe skin, as pictured and in white. Either way, it's a lovely summer statement piece.

The v-neck adorned with pretty beading makes this a worthy buy.

Hey, it is SUMMER, finally. Time to shine, ladies!

Strobing Makeup Trend: Getting Your Glow On Fast 'N Easy!

Everyone's been buzzing about STROBING. From Good Morning America to YouTube. It's ALL about the light....the glow. And the upper cheekbone, brow bone + inner eye bone are all you have to worry about  if you want a quick radiance.

Let's face it. Contouring takes a lot of time to shadow the bad stuff and highlight the good. Plus you must BLEND, BLEND, BLEND perfectly.

With STROBING, all you do is HIGHLIGHT. It's fast 'n easy, too. And it's a HOT summer trend.

We like the idea of a pearly kind of glow atop the cheekbones. They just look higher, more defined + pretty.

STROBING adds depth. It can transform a flatter cheek to WOW status. And it looks more natural than the heavier contouring that stars like Jennifer Lopez + Kim Kardashian often wear.

MAC Cosmetics has their own strobe cream ($33) to bring luminosity + a soft dewy-ness to the face.



Check out YouTube's Missy Lynn for her methods of STROBING.

Jessica Alba's Diet Secrets: Dinner Salads + Gallons Of Cholula Hot Sauce

Jessica Alba appears to live a clean life. She's married, a mom of two adorable little daughters, has a great career, etc.

In other words, you NEVER hear about Jessica Alba falling over in a bar or getting caught doing bad things .

Plus, girlfriend ALWAYS looks flawless on the red carpet.

So what is her secret?

Well, we don't know much about the pretty star, but we do know that she has a couple of diet secrets she revealed to Delish magazine recently:

SALADS for Dinner.

CHOLULA Hot Sauce.

Well, hot sauce does burn calories, so maybe that's a tip, plus she likes spicy food.

If we stopped by your house for dinner one weeknight, what would you probably be making?

"I try to always have a salad, and I always make my own salad dressing—it just tastes better. I'll often make a chicken quesadilla with corn tortillas—and gallons of hot sauce. Literally. It's like I'm trying to burn a hole through my stomach. It's so good. It's such a problem."

There you have it.

Well, it is true that HOT peppers can BURN fat. Read on what Dr. Oz has said about the magic ingredient that  revs up the metabolism:

"Capsaicin, the key substance that makes chili peppers hot, stimulates your "fight or flight" stress response and may increase metabolism by 23 percent. Peppers may even improve your muscle-to-fat ratio: Research suggests that capsaicin inhibits the generation of fat cells."

You can toss this one in your 2015 summer beauty bag, ladies!

L'Oreal Paris' Telescopic + Voluminous Mascaras Together Can Mimic One DiorShow Mascara

Okay, so maybe our headline here is a bit confusing, but let us explain......

Mascara is our friend, our FAVE beauty item. And let's be honest...a high-end mascara like the iconic DiorShow Mascara is REALLY superb stuff.

But it isn't cheap at $27.50 a tube. So we don't use it too often.

However, our friend Nina just gifted us with some DiorShow, and we were quickly reminded how AMAZING this cult fave formula is.

DiorShow mascara gives your lashes  BOTH length + volume. You CAN see your fringe grow before your eyes!

And now for the clever DUPE.....Two L'Oreal Paris mascaras can equal the quality of one DiorShow mascara:

L'Oreal's Telescopic mascara ($10.59) for the LENGTH

.....and L'Oreal's Voluminous mascara ($7.59) for the VOLUME
.

Sounds silly/stupid. But if you apply both L'Oreal mascaras, you can COPY the more expensive DiorShow.

Telescopic is NOT a thickening formula but gives super length to lashes. And Voluminous gives you the necessary fullness.

So, just a little beauty experimentation on our part.

Hey, it's only makeup. Have some FUN!
