Taylor Swift Loves Cats And Obviously Makeup Trend Cat Eye!

Meow, Taylor Swift!

Must be really nice having a professional makeup artist at your whim to create gorgeous looks whenever the need arises.

Here's the glam superstar earlier this week, nailing a flawless cat eye in midnight blue liner, a makeup trend we've been noticing. Of course, you could still choose black liner and achieve the same sexy feline effect.

We all know that Taylor LOVEs her kitties, and she owns 2, Olivia Benson + Meredith Grey.

Gotta LOVE the winged cat eye effect. Not the easiest eye makeup to get right or to perfectly match the other, but still one of the sexiest and most elegant techniques to master.

Most of us do not have a pro doing our cosmetics, but there are plenty of liners out there to create the look.
Check out elf. We like the e.l.f. Studio Eye Liner in Midnight (Navy) for just 3 bucks!

So pretty + polished.

Hi Sienna Miller: Proof That Even Celebs Need Makeup

We LOVE these instant snaps of attractive celebs walking around WITHOUT wearing any makeup.

Hi, Sienna Miller!

Yes, that is the lovely English actress sans makeup yesterday at the International Film Festival in Spain.

And what does this prove?

It's rather simple.

Makeup makes you prettier. Period.

Now...here's Sienna just 24-hours earlier at the film festival with hair + makeup + looking polished.

Wow....We can clearly see a difference. It's called mascara, lipstick + foundation. Plus, a chic hair bun.

And there is nothing wrong with putting on a few cosmetics.

Sienna looks radiant and her features more balanced.

Even mascara alone does wonders for the face.

We suggest Opulash Optimum Black Mascara by MAC, Nordstrom ($17).

No-Color Brow Wax Pencil: What Is It Good For?

Brows.

Hmmmm. We could talk about them all day.

Our own used to be so anemic-looking, but these days, our brows are growing in. Only thing, you need PATIENCE...and then some.

We read somewhere, that brows can take up to 64 (give or take) days to come back fully grown in. Eyelashes are quicker, taking only 4-6 weeks to come and go.

Our brows are taking a lot l-o-n-g-e-r than 64 days, but.....they ARE growing in. Get OVER age 40, and brows are even slower to re-appear. Ugh. So frustrating.

In the meantime....we can improve our brows through powders, gels, liquid tints and so forth.

Even brow pencil wax.

Yes....a wax pencil for eyebrows...A CLEAR, no color pencil.

Do you need this?

Well, a brow wax pencil keeps hairs all in place. It's a great GROOMING + TAMING beauty tool.

Here's one from SigmaBeauty ($11).

And the pencil can be used several ways, says SigmaBeauty:

"Use before adding color, either powder or pencil, or after as a finishing touch. The brow wax can also be used alone for a simple, sleek look."

Sexy Jumpsuit Still Trendy Look For Nighttime: Simple + Sleek

Some women HATE jumpsuits, but really now.....a jumpsuit allows you to INSTANTLY appear slimmer, proportioned with super long legs.

The jumpsuit trend is staying with us through fall.

January Jones was the latest celeb to put one on for the Emmy Awards last Sunday. Some critics panned the bright green jumpsuit, but we liked it!

Taylor Swift adores pantsuits at red carpet events, as does reality TV's Kourtney Kardashian.

We hunted down a sleek glam jumpsuit for $39.90 at Windsor.

Reality TV's Power Couple Heather + Terry Dubrow Launch Affordable Skin Care Line

Good for reality TV's power couple, the Dubrows!

Plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow + RHOC star wife Heather keep talking about their proposed skin care line on this season's Real Housewives of Orange County.

 

Since television taping occured months in advance, then that means their skin care line has already debuted. 

We did some digging, and yes---Consult Beaute is alive + well. 

And you CAN order the skin care line here at Evine.com. 

Then why hasn't there been BETTER advertising? 

We believe the anti-aging Dubrow skin care line is priced affordably and formulated with beneficial ingredients like marine collagen and Hyaluronic acid.

 For LESS than $50, you can purchase the Consult Beaute Volumagen Facial Cream & Concentrate Discovery Duo.

This topical beauty duo aims to PLUMP up skin, provide MOISTURE and BRIGHTEN +BALANCE skin tone, as well as DIMINISH skin damaged areas.

We like the concept behind Dr. Dubrow's non-invasive products and the variety the skin care line offers. There are also beauty supplements featured.

Check out the entire line here.

DWTS' Julianne Hough Opts For Smoky Eye + Nude Lip For Gorgeous Emmys Red Carpet

The smoky eye + nude lip.

Okay...it might seem boring to some.....Been there--Done that, etc.

BUT----It's a classic makeup combo that looks elegant when done properly.

And DWTS' Julianne Hough wowed on the red carpet tonight at the Emmy Awards out in very steamy L.A..

Nothing over-done.

Julianne wore her hair in a messy bun held in place with what appears to be a thin black triple headband.

Her pretty blue eyes just pop in a smoky palette + very black mascara.
Julianne's nude lip has a pink-y sheen added, which is perfect with the star's fair complexion.

Choosing a great nude lipstick is NOT easy, but we think Maybelline's Color Sensational The Buffs offers a good variety of 10 nudes to pick from.

This one is called Storm Sahara ($7.49).

Do you wear nude lipstick, or skip it because it's hard to find the perfect shade?

VS New 1 1/2 Cup Push-Up Bra: Like Goldilocks Finding The Perfect Fit!

We can't stop laughing.....LOLz...

First of all, we LOVE that Victoria's Secret has debuted a brand new bra called the 1 1/2 cup push-up.

Er.....does that make sense?

Yes.....We own the VS Sexy bra, which gives you a 1-cup boobage boost and the VS Bombshell bra which guarantees a 2-cup enhancement.

And now the VS middle-of-the-road bra------ the 1 1/2-cup Push-Up bra that does just that----LIFT your bosom a bit MORE but NOT over-the-top. 

So, yes, it reminds us of the childhood fairy tale of Goldilocks + the 3 Bears: 

"This porridge is too hot!" she exclaimed. So, she tasted the porridge from the second bowl. 

"This porridge is too cold," she said So, she tasted the last bowl of porridge. 

"Ahhh, this porridge is just right," she said happily and she ate it all up.

You get the point. Well, we are anxious to try the VS 1 1/2-cup push-up.

The VS Sexy bra does NOT provide much of anything for our smallish silhouette.

And the VS Bombshell bra.....well, Kylie Jenner is accurate when she claims this high-tech bra enables for big, faux cleavage.

"I just use the Bombshell by Victoria's Secret. It's life-changing. I've gotten all my sisters on it and all my friends. If you want the look of bigger breasts, that's what I do."

But----although the Bombshell bra is very comfy, it does feel like you've got a sofa cushion strapped across your chest...ha ha...The padding is pretty thick, in other words.

So, here is the new VS 1 1/2 cup Push-Up bra ($48.50):

Ladies.....Will you try VS's New 1 1/2-Cup bra?
