Meow! Kat Von D Liquid Lipstick In Deep Raspberry: Taste The Trend!

Gotta LOVE Kat Von D cosmetics. Soooooo many women do.

Kat Von D is probably best known as an incredible tattoo artist but also these days, as an amazing beauty/makeup creator.


Lots of fans rave about the superior quality of her makeup line. And her new Everlasting Liquid Lipstick collection gives BIG bold pops of pigment that LAST all day.

The beauty trend HOT at the moment is BERRY---that bold fuchsia pout.

And Kat Von D's Bauhau5 - deep raspberry is GORGEOUS! And would look nice on any skin tone.

 

 Of course Sephora is the place to try Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick ($20).

Berry lips are feminine, pretty + noticeable.

This looks great for SUMMER.

Congratulations Jennifer Aniston + Justin Theroux! Jen's Fave Lipstick BeautyTip!

This is wonderful news, but if you're living under a rock, then you might NOT know what's going on......Jennifer Aniston + Justin Theroux quietly said I do on Wednesday evening at their Bel Air, California home.


Congratulations! And BEST to the beautiful newlyweds!

NOT even 100 guests as we noted. More like 70 friends + family for the Hollywood nuptials.

A bunch of cool folks were there-----Howard Stern + Beth Ostrosky, Jimmy Kimmel, Jason Bateman, Whitney Cummings, Emily Blunt + John Krasinski, etc. To read more about this, see People mag's article.

Meantime....since we are focusing on the golden blonde, we went back into our BeautyTipToday archives, to dig up one of Jennifer Aniston's longtime FAVE beauty tips:

This simple tip comes from an interview the actress had with InStyle mag, 2012. In it she mentions a FAVE cosmetic:

Estee Lauder's Automatic Lip Pencil Duo in Fig ($27, at Bergdorf Goodman).

Says Jennifer: : "I've used this Fig lip liner for god knows how many years. You can mix anything with it."



Jennifer's makeup has a healthy, natural look....NEVER overdone, always tasteful.

Plus, refreshingly, she + Courteney Cox are 2 actresses who have their real lips, and NOT the over-inflated lips we see on other celebs whose pouts will remain nameless, because we can't prove whose lips are fake or otherwise.

Anyway...nice  to see a happy ending for Jennifer Aniston.

As we would say to our greek sister:

Xronia Polla.

$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:

I love sharing my beauty secrets with you guys and this is a favorite! @PureLeef offers products with All Natural ingredients (which is important to me) to help maintain & accentuate your curves! @PureLeef's butt enhancement cream & Breast plumping lotion stimulate fat cells in the target areas. I started seeing results after only a month of consistent use. Love their products 😍 Visit www.pureleef.com #curvesonfleek




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

Easy to use: Massage on butt + hips 2x (morning and night).

Here's how the Pure Leef company describes its special butt cream:

Butt Plumping Cream

PureLeef’s butt enhancement and body plumping cream is a modern day miracle cream that uses science and nature to boost the volume and shape of the hips and buttocks. 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.

To learn more about eye lift surgery, read this from one of the BEST plastic surgery guides at RealSelf.

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!
