The Beauty Bunny

TMZ has a gallery of celebrity makeup mishaps, and many of them are truly horrid. Christina Aguilera (surprisingly once a style Don’t), Joan Rivers, Avril Lavigne, Jenna Jameson, Courtney Love, Amy Winehouse (shocker) and Britney Spears make the list, and there are even a few guys like Pete Wentz and Criss Angel. Which look do you ladies think is the worst?

It seems there’s a new mineral makeup foundation on the shelves every day, but Pur Minerals was among the first to the craze along with their Bare colleagues. I’m a bit behind the times in just now reviewing my first Pur Minerals products, but I have to say, it was well worth the wait!

Unlike a lot of mineral makeup foundations, Pur Minerals didn’t leave my face overly shiny. Because the powder is pressed, it’s also much cleaner than the loose powder forms mineral makeup often takes. The foundation gives beautiful coverage without the cakiness I expected from the pressed format. The buffing brush (called by Pur Minerals a “chisel brush“) is one of the best performing of its kind, too - the foundation didn’t rub off as I swirled it on, nor were the bristles the least bit prickly.

We all have features we don’t love. My question is, why live with it being your eyes? Rather than going under the knife or hiding under a rock, contour an unusual eye area with makeup. Here’s how to do it for your eyes only!

Wide-set eyes: To make eyes appear closer together, apply a deep-toned shadow to the inner halves of your lids, with a lighter tone on the outside. Balance with subtle pencil liner along the lower lash line.

We can’t help but be inspired by celebrity beauty; it’s scrutinized, discussed and criticized more than the presidential candidates. Here are the top five hairstyles the starlets have sported that are influencing the current trends in tresses:

#1: Full Frontal Fringe

Models like Heidi Klum, Kate Moss and Tyra Banks are bringing back full bangs reminiscent of the 60s. The modern version is choppy and irregular with a beachy feel and has been adopted by the likes of Reese Witherspoon, Katie Holmes and Milla Jovovich.

While I adore a good bargain in cosmetic products, I have to admit that I’m a bit of a snob when it comes to haircare. Consequently, I tend to turn up my nose at any shampoo or conditioner available at the drugstore. (If I don’t have to go to Trade Secret, it’s not good enough!) But I’ve enjoyed L’Oreal’s makeup and haircolor lines, so I thought I’d give their Vive Pro Color Vive line the chance to impress me.

Color Vive offers formulas for normal, damaged and highlighted hair; since I’m blonde with a tendency toward strawlike Scarecrow strands, I opted for “damaged”. The shampoo’s scent is clean, light and reminds me of the smell hair salon shampoos have - not a bad sign! You don’t need much shampoo and the lather isn’t a gargantuan bubbly mess, so it rinses well even when followed with the Color Vive Conditioner.
