Make Mine Matcha: DIY Green Tea Mask For Radiant Complexion

We are so into Japanese matcha tea.

Wish we liked drinking TEA, but since we do not, we LOVE applying it to our face + neck, once or twice a week.

It is AMAZING for your complexion. It delivers smooth, soft skin and TIGHTENS everything up.

The healthy tea draws out impurities and cleanses your pores perfectly.

Plus, it's so-ooooo simple to make.

All you need is a high quality, preferably STONE GROUND green tea powder. We found this popular brand at Amazon for $18,

A bit pricey, but you can make plenty of facial masks with this amount, because you only need very little.

Then, your next ingredient is water. That's it.

We found a super YouTube tutorial that shows you the steps. Click it here.

The matcha green tea mask should sit on your skin until it DRIES completely, about 20 minutes. Then take a wash cloth dipped in warm water to gently remove.

Your complexion will appear almost PORE-LESS.

GREAT stuff for a big night out, or when you want to show off your best complexion.  And it's ideal for ALL skin types.

Bleached Brow Blunder at 2016 Met Gala: Do Not Try This At Home

Maybe because she's a TOP model, Lily Aldridge best pulled off the bleached brow look at the 2016 Met Gala in New York City.

Kim Kardashian + Katy Perry both failed miserably.

I am certainly NOT here to judge, because I, too, had once bleached my brows years ago, because it was somewhat fashionable and designed to soften strong features. Well, it does NOT do anything attractive for your face....looks totally bizarre, especially in photos and NOT recommended for healthy eyebrow hair.

In Lily's defense, her brows were NOT bleached, but transformed through painted on gilded gold brow makeup. Plus, she is so stunning, that she can probably pull off this dopey trend.

Then we have 2 glam ladies, Kim Kardashian + Katy Perry who REALLY had their dark brow hair bleached into barely there eyebrows, and here are the LESS than ideal results.

 Oh, my.....

The ONLY time I truly liked this beauty trend, was on Janet Jackson, when the late, great makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin applied his magic and lightened up her brows.

He was so-oooo talented, he could have made the brows of Kim, Katy + Lily look so much better.

The Simple Choker Remains Hot Trend on Celebrities

The choker. It's so HOT, still. Celebrities like  Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton + Nicole Trunfio are all into the simple, always cool accessory.

Chokers don't have to be super expensive. We found nice-looking chokers here at Forever21:

Pretty Little Liars Star Shay Mitchell Buys Biore For Flawless Skin

The gorgeous star of Pretty Little Liars has a clear, smooth complexion and uses a drugstore find to MINIMIZE pores and keep her skin looking radiant.

We LOVE when celebrities like Shay Mitchell share the beauty knowledge with everyone.

 

Shay's secret skin care weapon comes from the popular Biore line-up. That's what the sexy actress tells Allure magazine in their May issue.

Her FAVE is the Biore Baking Soda Cleansing Scrub ($8.99, at Target).

It's a CONCENTRATED powder scrub that does an excellent job of EXFOLIATING + allowing pores to almost disappear.

And we all know that CLEAN pores mean CLEAR skin.

Lovin' First Lady Michelle's Duster Ensemble During Recent Kensington Palace Dinner

Okay, we LOVE Michelle Obama's look during her recent London trip with the President.

The fashionable First Lady appeared to have taken a style page out of the Kim Kardashian look-book.

Check her out....There's Mrs. Obama in a duster, something Kim K has added as her signature piece, especially when done in a classic, neutral shade:

There are tons of dusters at BooHoo.com.

We found this one in Camel for just $30.

Taylor Swift + Jennifer Lawrence Play Platinum Game For Spring 2016

Platinum hair is like none other:

So beautiful, bombshell and chic!

And both Taylor Swift + Jennifer Lawrence are leading the Hollywood glam squad.

Taylor debuted her modern new cut + color at the Coachella Music Festival, while Jennifer has been wearing the flaxen tresses for a while now. Here she is at the Tribeca Film Festival.

We like the look on both, although we think J Law pulls it off better.

The only thing about playing around with going lighter, is the PEROXIDE mess and damage, the bleaching agent can do to your hair.

We say it's NOT worth it, unless you've got $$$$ to blow and have a real pro caring for your locks, because you're going to be seeing your stylist a lot to hide the ROOTS and DEEP-CONDITION, again + again.

Meantime....why not spend your money on some COOL Coachella Suede Booties. We found these cuties, the LOLA Fringe Boot on SALE now at Banana Republic for $119.99

You might have to check the BR stores to find your SIZE. Running out fast.
