Jennifer Lopez Started Going Grey In Her 20s: Time To Touch-Up


"I started going grey at 23," admits Jennifer Lopez.

She once told a US radio show: "My mom and my dad both went grey at a young age and I did too. At 23.

"Once I got started doing movies I started to grey. It was the stress, the pressure," she joked.

And when she was married to Mark Anthony, Jennifer laughed that she had to get her hair done " every two weeks."

We feel your pain, J LO, because we, too, started graying in our early 20s.

To show proof that she STILL fights those grey strands, take a peek at her here on the set of her new NBC drama, Shades of Blue on Friday afternoon.


Jennifer is still looking great at age 46, and ZERO makeup on that we can detect.

Yes, dark under-eye circles. So what? Who doesn't have those, right?

We LOVE seeing un-retouched photos like this one. Makes us feel better; makes Jenny-from-the-block appear normal with minor beauty challenges.

A quick, cheap way to HIDE those pesky greys BEFORE your next salon appointment is to use this.

It looks like a mascara wand, but is just for root touch-ups. Just apply to the grey, and POOF....bye-bye until your next shampoo!

Try this one:

Vogue Embraces The Imperfect Oxblood Lip Stain

It's AUTUMN.....What would you expect?

Rich dark shades like Oxblood, Crimson, Bordeaux + Claret are taking over as the HOT new lip trend.

And according to Vogue.com, NO lip liner required.

Instead, it's all about the smudge-able berry stain.

Berry-Beautiful!

And stars like Kate Hudson are turning heads.

The rest of the makeup appears sparse, or at least NOT heavily over-done when presenting the imperfect oxblood lip.

So, how do we er.....apply this imperfect lip stain?

Vogue suggests all you need is a deep, earthy red lipstick, and.....

a soft-edged stain in which pigment is pushed into the lips with a fingertip.

The imperfect lipstick trend is SOLD OUT, but they're ordering up MORE.

It's Burberry Prorsum's Lip Velvet Oxblood #437 ($34).

You don't have to wait to spend $34 on a earthy red lipstick. You can DUPE the shade, or choose one that is in the same oxblood family of reds.

TwistNClean: Genius Beauty Tool That Wipes Away Mascara Excess Instantly!

Ladies, we have ALL been there; I'm talking about the glop + glob left from mascara as you PUMP the tube to extract mascara on the wand to apply each coat.

You know what can happen.....It's just way too much. And now your pretty lashes are CLUMPING + difficult to SEPARATE for the next lash-building coat or layer.


We have admitted here several times, that we CANNOT live WITHOUT mascara. We are, er....a mascara freak, and a proud one at that.

Today, we are lucky that there are TONS of 'volumizing' mascaras available---thick formulas that BUILD + BUILD for a gorgeous faux lash effect. Plus, there are BIGGER, WIDER wands/brushes that can hold more mascara product.

The only bad thing, you can OVER-LOAD....then lashes, as we say, CLUMP + SPIKE....

TWISTNCLEAN to the beauty rescue!


This is a first-of-its-kind product now available for mascara lovers everywhere. And it's healthy for the planet---100% biodegradable.

Stephen Isola developed this genius beauty tool, and was gracious enough to SEND us a TwistNClean along with a supply of re-fillable inserts.

I am using his photos from the TwistNClean website to show you what the little beauty box looks like and how a mascara wand/brush is inserted INSIDE the box where the inserts wipe OFF the excess mascara, and allow you to now apply a perfect coat WITHOUT the glop + glob!


And a TwistNClean is a great beauty budget buy. For just $8.99, you receive one Box Case with Mirror: includes one TWIST N’CLEAN insert.

Then for $9.99, you can buy a BIG pack of re-fillable inserts.


What can we say?

This is an inexpensive + smart beauty tool that lets women build perfect, even mascara coats for great-looking lashes.

And makeup artists will also fall in LOVE with TwistNClean.

Bye-Bye CLUMPS + SPIKES!

Thank you, Stephen Isola.

Liz Hurley All Wrapped Up: Pashmina Shawls Perfect For Fall

Gotta LOVE Liz Hurley. The British-born actress is out and about doing her best for breast cancer awareness, as she has unselfishly done for a number of years now. And looking gorgeous at 50, we might add!

Of course, PINK is the signature color for breast cancer awareness, and Elizabeth wears it well.

We especially adore her light pink Pashmina shawl, or whatever cashmere wrap that might be.


That reminds us: Pashmina shawls/wraps are PERFECT for those cool autumn days + evenings.

And they are CLASSIC accessories. A genuine Pashmina shawl is usually made with a 70% cashmere + 30% silk blend and can cost between $200 and $500 at stores like Nordstrom's.

We hunted down a PINK Pashmina for a lot LESS.


Just $14.95 at ChoosyShopper.com.

Looks great. Not sure how authentic it truly is, but still--- a pretty shawl/wrap, that can also serve as a scarf.

Love it! A shawl can change up the look of any style you wear.

Jessica Alba is another fashionable celeb often photograped wrapped up in a shawl/scarf .

Redhead Power! Ashley Tisdale Wows In New Hair Color

We LOVE red hair.

When we think of an amazing redhead, we often think of model Angie Everhart.

So jealous---such incredible auburn tresses! SEXY woman.

 

 Well, there's a HOT new redhead in Hollywood, and she's amped up the fiery locks, and wow !

Ashley Tisdale has made the color leap from her usual blonde hair shade to a pretty redhead.

What do you think?

Here is Ashley yesterday at the 2015 Power of Women event in Beverly Hills:


Ashley has never looked more glam.

Now, to dye your hair red is challenging if you are NOT a natural redhead, but it can be done of you allow a color professional to deal with the finicky hair shade in a bottle.

Red color is the fastest fading dye of the entire hair color spectrum. According to what we learned, the red color molecule is the largest of all the color molecules, and for that reason, washes out very easily. That is why, washing red dyed hair too frequently, can speed up fading. That and chlorine pool water.

Invest in shampoos that are for color-treated hair to hold on to your exciting new hair shade. And if you want the least upkeep, put in a few red highlights around your face, instead of going the red route for your entire head.

If you still want to go it alone and color your own hair, then try this one:
