Kate Hudson Killin' It With Cool Camel Cape Coat: Always A Glam Chick

We've talked about Kate Hudson's glamorous style again + again...And she NEVER disappoints on the red carpet.

Here's the bubbly beauty killin' it with a cool camel cape coat at the New York City premiere of her new movie, "Rock the Kasbah" on Monday night.


LOVE this look, especially the trendy cape coat style.

Now, most of us don't have Kate's resources, so we probably could not easily afford this cape coat, BUT, we can hunt down a cheaper version or two in camel.
Look below:

We like this one at Asos.com, ($180, on sale!) We want this!


Or this cutie at MissguidedUs.com, ($76.50). Another great buy.



Do you like Kate's camel cape coat, and would you wear this style now?

Cool Kanye For President Tee-Shirt: Get On Board, Ladies!

Well, we knew the Kanye for President clothing would start coming out of the woodwork, especially after the hip hop star announced that he's running for the BIG office in the year 20/20.


Kanye made the announcement back in August during a heartfelt acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards.

The rapper concluded his remarks by announcing a U.S. presidential bid for the election five years from now.

 We just stumbled across this cool tee-shirt from Missguided.com ($20.40).

 

 We like the tee, no matter where your political party affiliations lie.

Would you wear this Kanye for President tee-shirt for fun?

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:

Irene Gari Cover Your Grey for Women 2-in-1 Hair Color Touch up Wand ($4.99, at ULTA)..

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.
