Kylie Looks 'Kute' In Clip-In Bangs: Very Cleopatra

Want bangs but NOT the hassle for frequent trims or a quick grow-out if you get bored with your fringe?

Then do what stylish Kylie Jenner did recently----add some exotic black bangs for a hot new look.


We LOVE the gorgeous cat-eye with super thick faux lashes + liner in Kylie's Instagram pic. So GLAM!

Some of you have great luck with wearing clip-in bangs. But a lot of you cannot make the fringe sit right.

You can trim these faux bangs to make them perfect for you, but it's BEST if you have a stylist adjust the clip-ins before you CUT off too much length.

We found a bunch of clip-in bangs here at VogueWigs.com.

Check this out:



We miss our bangs.

We like these. If we could fit them like the model in the photo, we would try them, too.

Very tempting.

So.....Do any of you wear clip-in bangs?

Do tell!

Modern Family's Ariel Winter All Smiles At Disney Following Recent Breast Reduction

Good for you, Ariel Winter!

Her lovely smile tells it all, as the 17-year-old star added her presence to the Disney D23 Expo in Anaheim on Saturday.

Ariel was there in a really cute green romper to promote her animated TV series Sofia The First, in which she voices the main character. Sounds great!

 

What's even more special was the happy glow radiating from her following breast reduction surgery last June. Ariel is now a 34 D; before she was a natural 32 F.

The pretty actress tells Glamour magazine that she not only endured awful back + neck pain, but emotional digs, too, from mean people on social media:

"I’d have to wear the dress that was super tight and form-fitted everywhere because if I didn’t, it didn’t look good. I didn’t really have an option other than to wear fitted clothes. Everyone would [say], 'Why is she dressing so mature? That’s so inappropriate for her age!'"

"It’s hard when you’re a teenage girl and you already have a lot of ridicule and then you pile on more, and it’s kind of…it just gets too much."



So, what is involved with breast reduction surgery?

Excess fat, skin + tissue are removed from the breasts; then the areolas + nipples are adjusted to a higher position.

The surgery is considered SAFE and performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon.

To learn MORE about breast reduction surgery, check out RealSelf.com.

Meantime, Ariel is pleased her smaller new breasts:

"It’s something that I did to better my life and better my health and I think that that can benefit a lot of young girls. I have felt more happy with myself than I ever have."

Comes in 8 foundation shades.

Now, if we can find the right match for our light olive skin tone, we will take
this lightweight foundation>b> for a test drive!

Jennifer Hudson Debuts Shocking New Buzz Cut On Instagram: How Very Amber Rose---Sort Of

For a chick to wear a BUZZ CUT, whether she's famous or NOT, takes guts, and then some.

In our humble opinion, Amber Rose is the ONLY celeb we have found so far, who can carry this unforgiving, androgynous do as her signature look.



But watch out!

Superstar Jennifer Hudson has just showed the world her NEW look----a buzz cut she shows off like nobody's business.

We saw this on People.com, courtesy of her Instagram. And this is what JHud posted next to the surprising + striking photo:





So, you ask----How is this hairstyle like Amber Rose's?!

Well, both ladies are wearing buzz cuts. Very daring looks.

That's about all the two dos share. Of course, Amber's buzz cut is pure platinum, while Jennifer's features her signature dark brown hair color, along with sexy side details.

NOT an easy hairstyle to pull off, but it looks quite liberating + edgy.

Comments, please.....

Beautiful Benefits Of Applying Topical Tretinoin, Otherwise Known As Retin A

Wrinkles, age spots, dull complexion, large pores, uneven skin tone, and on and on.

Most of us deal with these skin conditions on a daily basis, and as we approach our 40s and beyond, these imperfections can progress, making us appear a lot older than we are and feel.


Let's be blunt, because tons of big name beauty companies sell us plenty of over-the-counter products designed to make wrinkles and such DISAPPEAR and to allow the skin to bounce back like a 20-year-old's.
Okay...let's STOP the b.s. and look at the facts.

Scientists and skin care experts would agree that prescription Retin A is about as good as it gets when it comes to finding the BEST anti-aging product out there.


But even Retin A CANNOT destroy wrinkles permanently.

Retin A CAN dramatically REDUCE wrinkle depth and fade its harshness AFTER a number of years. Plus---It CAN prevent new wrinkles from forming.

And to boot, the only FDA-approved topical treatment for wrinkles is tretinoin, known commercially as Retin A.

If you think Retin A is like a face lift in a bottle, well, that's expecting a fairy tale to come true.

BUT....applying Retin A to your face + neck nightly can improve several areas of concern:

1. Sun damage.
2. Large pores.
3. Too oily complexion.
4. Dull skin appearance.
5. Bad acne.
6. Wrinkle + fine line depth.
7. Uneven tone + texture.
8. Early form of skin cancer.

To see if prescription Retin A is right you, learn more here at WebMD.

Ciara Shows Off Perfectly Toned Arms: Boxing Work-Outs Key

WOW. Just wow!

We have gone on + on before about singer Ciara's gorgeous, perfectly-toned arms.

And then we saw photos again, and well, we had to read up on how the superstar maintains that SEXY body, especially those KILLER arms!



Ciara's arms are slender, but more importantly--- hers are lean + muscular with GREAT definition.

So, how do you get Ciara's buff biceps + triceps? We like to use small dumbbells. But Ciara's secret is in the boxing ring.



She tells Shape Mag's September issue this when working out with celeb trainer Gunnar Peterson:

".....Hour-long plyometric cardio circuit using boxing elements," which Ciara loves because ..."you're getting three-in-one training: It's hitting your muscles; it's a cardiovascular workout; and it's a mental exercise..."

..."You have to be superfocused when you're boxing. After I've done a few rounds, I feel as if I can conquer the world."
