NYC 99 Cent Lipstick: Would You Wear It? We do!

99 cent lipstick.....

Yeah, right.....But does ANYONE really wear it?

We often do. And we are in LOVE with NYC's Ultra Lip Wear in BLOSSOM.



In fact, we were grocery shopping late this afternoon, when a woman of Indian descent approached us and introduced herself.

She had long, glossy black hair, dark olive skin and big brown eyes and was wearing zero makeup.

"Excuse me. Your shade of lipstick is beautiful. What color is it?"

I whipped the tube out of my bag and handed it to her. She memorized it. Thanked me. And walked away.

NYC
NEW YORK COLOR 316 BLOSSOM at CVS

That made my day.  Okay, not a big deal, but it's so nice when women compliment each other.

Here is a photo of me wearing it last year. You can get a small idea how it looks. I would describe Blossom as a pink-y fuchsia with blue undertones. I am a lousy photographer, as we can all see.




NYC also features other nice 99 cent shades. For that rock bottom price, you can toss it out, if you really hate it.

Sometimes, cheap makeup works. And it's really alright to buy some.

Celebs Like Halle, Khloe and Kourtney Continue Ripped Jeans Trend

Out in L.A., the sexy, ripped jeans trend remains on FIRE. And it appears to be the same way in NYC.

We are certain you own at least one or two pairs of this "imperfect denim look."

You can dress UP or dress DOWN a pair of ripped jeans. You can also style this trend in tight, skinny jeans or boyfriend, loose-fitting jeans.

Here's Halle Berry doing a little Christmas shopping in her relaxed fit ripped jeans with booties + over-sized sweater.



Then we have two of the super glam Kardashian sisters both in ripped jeans, with Khloe in skinnies and Kourtney in boyfriend ripped denim.



If you want to COPY their ripped jeans trend, you can find this just about everywhere.

Here's a nice pair of  DENIM X CAFE TOMGIRL JEAN from AEO, on SALE for $39.99.

Lupita Nyong'o Stuns At Star Wars Premiere In Sexy Blue Lipstick!

Although it's NOT exactly mainstream yet, bold, blue lipstick has been slowly finding its way on to the red carpet.

Take a look at Star Wars star Lupita Nyong'o wowing in sexy blue lipstick. Now, you're either going to LOVE this makeup trend or despite it altogether, but Lupita looks GORG!

Lupita stunned at the Star Wars: The Force Awakens at London's Leicester Square last evening.





We think blue lipstick is VERY wearable UNDER age 35. Then, after that, well, we're NOT so sure.

Rihanna + Kylie Jenner have both sported blue lipstick in 2015, also.



If you, too, dare to go to a BEAUTY galaxy, far, far away, then try this one from Nyx Cosmetics Wicked Lippie in Sinful. We found it at ULTA, $5.99!

Okay, ladies.....who's in the BLUE?

Copy Sexy Sofia Vergara's Square Neck Black Dress For Lots Less!

Okay.....Are these 2 people the HOTTEST couple on the planet, perhaps?!

OMG....Joe Manganiello makes the BEST arm candy for a gal, and LUCKY Sofia looks even sexier in his arms.....um.....brawny arms.


But we're NOT here to discuss new groom Joe.

We're mesmerized by this little black dress Sofia squeezed into at last evening's Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens premiere in Los Angeles.



This one is from Victoria Beckham's designs, a crepe dress at $2,500.

Most of us LOVE the dress, so a COPY CAT square neck LBD would be even better, especially if it's ONLY $13.95!!


This one is from Yoins.

Sofia's dress does NOT look exactly like the DUPE we found, but it STILL plays off on the same design concept.

For LESS than $14, you can't go wrong.

Copy Demi Lovato's Cool, Slicked Back Locks And Join The Trend

Slicked back locks are classic + sophisticated, and yeah....your face is on display with hair pulled away. It takes some self-confidence to do this do right.

Who better than Demi Lovato herself to show off the latest hair trend.

Here's the dazzling star at the recent Billboard Luncheon event with her  sexy, slicked back hairstyle.


Very pretty with a tousled wave.Love it!

Khloe Kardashian has been wearing the slicked back look on her blonde hair for quite some time now. She, too, looks super polished + chic.


To achieve the slicked back look, you will need a key, smoothing product like Khloe + sisters' Black Seed Dry Oil by Kardashian Beauty ($16.49, at ULTA.com).



This stuff rocks! It leaves a GLAM finish on hair with shine, strength + sleekness. And it's NOT greasy to locks.

Gigi Hadid Wows At VS Show In Pink Nation: Copy Her Look

Newest VS runway angel Gigi Hadid was slayin' it at last evening's annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in New York City.

In one of her several sexy lingerie changes, Gigi also put on a sportier look with firefighter bottoms, super toned abs and a super cute, reverse racerback cropped bra top for the brand's Pink Nation.

Check her out:


We LOVE Gigi's body, because it's slim, healthy + curvy. She probably displays one of the heavier VS figures, but we think she looks the best out of the coral of famous fit angels.

To COPY the cropped bra top, we found one similar from VS online for ($28.95). It's available in XS, S, M +L.


Will you wear Pink Nation's new reverse racerback cropped top like Gigi Hadid??

We LOVE the entire look from head-to-toe, and we especially adore her chic, leopard pointy toe flats.

These come from Ivanka's cool shoe line. They retail for $100. Check them out here.

BUT-----you CAN copy the look for LESS. We found a look alike leopard print flat for $40 at Express.
