$4 Wet N Wild Mega Eyes Defining Marker Not Best But Not Worst Either

We LOVE the idea of an eyeliner in a magic marker pen form. Pretty GENIUS.

Why?

It's easy to use, glides on smoothly, dries fast and gives better precision with a felt-tip like marker.

Plus, more importantly for us-----these felt tip markers make for the purr-fect cat eye-----Meow!

So then.....What's wrong with Wet N Wild's Mega Eyes Defining Marker?

Not enough juice in the pen and doesn't last for hours.

BUT-----for $4 from your neighborhood drugstore, it's NOT that bad, either.

We've been using the Wet N Wild Mega Eyes Defining Marker for about 4 days now.

The problems we've noticed in more depth:

1. Wish there were a lot more product in the pen. Running out too fast. Almost used up after 4 days?!
2.  Used this marker pen during the muggiest, hottest heat wave and did NOT last for hours. Seemed to melt away. This should have featured better lasting results.
3.  Blackest Black is NOT black enough. Does not define eye as well as the color seems to indicate.

Having said all that, we have tried worse eye liners. This one gets a C+ beauty grade in our humble opinion.

The eyeliner marker comes in---

WW869
Blackest Black

+

WW870

Dark Brown

We found them at Walgreens for $3.99, a piece.

Paps + Tabloids Shoot For No Makeup Pics Of Jennifer Garner Amid Break-Up With Ben

Here we go......Must be really tough to suffer a break-up when you are a famous celeb.

That's when things get nasty, and paps + tabloids go looking for the no makeup pics or sad faces to show the grieving woman in the relationship didn't make much of an effort to look beautiful for her boyfriend/ husband, etc.

In this case, we're talking about the marriage bust-up of  Jennifer Garner + Ben Affleck, the Hollywood couple who REALLY appeared to be normal, loyal + loving, along with 3 adorable kids.

There is gossip about Ben fooling around with the young nanny.

We are NOT sure what if anything is true.

But now poor Jen is being followed by photographers eager to catch the actress crying, yelling on a cell phone, looking glum, and so forth. Even older file photos are dragged out to show the actress  NOT looking her best.

As if any of this is her fault because of how she dressed, wore her hair, didn't apply makeup, etc.

Well, Jennifer Garner might not appear all that SANS makeup, but boy, does she clean up nicely:

Jennifer Garner has AMAZING, strong, striking bone structure. Lucky DNA, for sure.

As you know, Jennifer has been a longtime spokesperson for the Neutrogena beauty company.

Try this for a smooth, healthy complexion like Jennifer's:

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair.
This stuff contains a stabilized form of retinol.

Can Butt+Boob Cream Deliver Beautiful Curves? Kylie Jenner Says Yes!

Well, we would like to tell Kylie Jenner to just STOP it already. Don't even comment.

We cannot prove your new CURVIER butt + bosom are natural, and it's no one's business, but to resort now and taunt the fans, claiming or teasing that a special cream can INCREASE and give volume to your booty + boobs is just, well.......possibly a bit ridiculous.

The science is NOT there. How are the FAT CELLS being transported to the butt + bosom with a healthy blood supply, Kylie?

Enjoy your new curves. You look great. Period. Don't get involved with social media and the legions of young admirers who wish to look just like you.

Okay, we are done preaching.

Now, let's look at Pure Leef, which Kylie claims works. Check out her recent Instagram details:

Pure Leef is sold on Amazon.com ($47, for the butt cream).

Using natural active ingredients to stimulate the body’s own fat generation, it is a safe and painless way to achieve the natural curves you desire.

So, there you have it. Zero to lose except for $47, if it doesn't deliver Kylie's new curves.

Happy Birthday To Me? Gisele Turns 35 And Buzz Continues About Secret Plastic Surgery Paris Visit

This story has legs, just like the supermodel herself, Gisele Bundchen.

The buzz will NOT die down on the alleged secret plastic surgery visit to Paris this week for a reported 2-combo deal---eye lift + breast lift.

Price tag---$11,000.

Hmmm. That sounds kinda CHEAP for both procedures at a tony Paris plastic surgery center. BUT------

Apparently, the tabloid press continues to have a field day over Gisele + her sister arriving together at the clinic wearing black burqas to disguise themselves from head-to-toe.

Also, observant reporters note the same limo driver the supermodel always uses, was shown undisguised dropping the sisters off in Paris. Plus----Gisele was photograped with the same backpack she's usually seen with, etc. etc.

Gisele just turned 35 on July 20th. Maybe this is a "Happy Birthday to me gift?"

Here she is from her Instagram account about 2 weeks ago.

Who are we to judge. She is a great model who has recently retired from the runway.

She seems too young at 35 to need cosmetic enhancement, BUT---don't be fooled ladies + gentlemen; other models have had major work done to get where they are. Simple. Period.

Beauty is NOT always as if to the manor born. And Gisele would NOT be the first model to repair or enhance her striking face + body.

Makeup Artist Mario Dedivanovic Dishes On Fave Sculpting Powder for Kim K

Contouring can transform a face into beautiful star power, maybe that is why shading the jawline, cheekbones, sides of the nose, etc., is so popular these days.

Just look at the ENTIRE Kardashian/Jenner clans---- ALL the ladies look lovely to the nth degree, because of some amazing contour magic.

There are TONS of YouTube How To's on applying the perfect contouring yourself, but it REALLY helps to have a pro makeup artist there to get you red carpet ready.

Most of us do NOT have the luxury + deep pockets for a makeup artist in our everyday life. Kim Kardashian has the talented hands of celebrity artist Mario Dedivanovic to enhance her beauty.

And he's dishing on a wonderful sculpting powder to COPY Kim K's super bone structure with the proper powder. 

Mario is into the Rodial brand at the moment--- namely their Rodial Instaglam Compact Deluxe Contouring Powder ($57, at Amazon.com).

Mario posted a pic of Rodial on Instagram recently, writing:

“Obsessed with @rodialskincare sculpting make up range I found in London, it’s AMAZING! @mrsrodial who is bringing this to the USA? We need this! #rodial #thatPackagingToo.”

We don't advise even trying CONTOURING for everyday looks, even though CELEBS show it off when they appear on camera.

It's NOT easy to master, but if you are anxious to SCULPT higher cheekbones,  thinner nose or sharper jaw, then by all means, try it!

Pucker Up! July 29th is Really National Lipstick Day!!

National Lipstick Day is celebrated on July 29th. Too bad today isn't a national holiday.

But this is a REAL day of celebration! And ever since the 1920s, lipstick has become a daily part of the makeup routine.

Celebs like Gwen Stefani have made lipstick their signature look. When we think of the musical superstar, we ALWAYS see Gwen with classic red lips + platinum hair a la Marilyn Monroe.

Same thing for mega-star Taylor Swift and her glam red lips:

So, let's look at lipstick. Maybe RED  lips are too bold for your taste,  but that's alright.

Let's try a fun, sheer, buildable pink lipstick from CG:

Echantress Blush ($5.44, at Walmart).

Brit Stylist Scolds Duchess Kate For Showing Gray Roots Even While Pregnant

The Duchess of Cambridge is only 33, and yet is GRAYING fast!

Oh, Kate, we feel your pain! We started getting dreaded gray roots in our mid-20s.

But when you're in the public eye and a royal, ALL eyes + cameras are on you. Plus, when you have brunette hair color, gray roots are so much more apparent. It ain't easy, Kate.

And now big mouth Brit stylist Nicky Clarke is scolding the proud new mama for even allowing her grays to be seen back in February while she was expecting Princess baby Charlotte.

Who is Nicky Clarke?

The famous stylist who tended to the lovely head of Princess Diana.

This is what he told the DailyMail.

"Kate needs to get rid of her grey hair — it’s not a good look," he told the publication at his Mayfair salon.

"She does have amazing things done to her hair and it can look great, but unfortunately it’s the case for women — all women — that until you’re really old, you can’t be seen to have any grey hairs."

Kind of harsh, eh?

We have a pricey way to CONCEAL those pesky gray roots, and the Duchess can afford this, we are sure.

This one is by Rita Hazan, celeb stylist NYC ($25, at ULTA).
