Makeup From Billboard Music Awards

Now the young celebs all looked just fabulously radiant during the event, and all thanks to their sparkling outfits and most importantly – fabulous makeup. There were a lot of smokey cat eye makeup with very long eyelashes, like that seen on Selena Gomez, but one celeb was stealing everybody’s attention with her mesmerizing gaze – Carly Ray Jepsen.

Her makeup fitted her outfit and nice dark red locks all too well. The purplish-plum smokey eyes highlighted her beautiful blue eyes, while the nude lip gloss slightly emphasized her lips. Now, Jepsen wasn’t the only one who chose to shine with colored makeup – Emmy Rossum with the shimmering lilac shadows and Hayden Panitiere with teal eyeliner also joined the team.

Hairstyles From Billboard Music Awards

L t R: Miley Cyrus & Taylor Swift At Billboard Music Award

While most guests were wearing their hair partially down, like Selena Gomez, Carly Rae Jepsen and surprisingly Taylor Swift, some were not following the trend. Miley Cyrus showcased her feathery two-tone pixie hair back. Kimberley Perry came with a very charming romantic hair updo, while Kelly Rowland showcased a different kind of updo that was a little bit edgy.

Nicki Minaj decided to let go of the technicolor wigs, arriving with the blond locks. However, she wouldn’t just be herself if at least one detail of her outfit would be natural – so she chose the false eyelashes. However, speaking of frizzy hair, the ringlets of Andy Allo looked prettier and well, natural. What is your favorite beauty look from the event?

Red Carpet Beauty From Cannes

Nicole Kidman At Cannes Festival

Hairstyles From Cannes Festival

The hairstyles presented at the Red Carpet arrivals were rather refined and official. There were hair updos like that of Nicole Kidman, a jury member, who appeared in her gorgeous dress from Dior. Nicole had a partial hair updo, with some of the hair loose. She appeared very retro with that dress and hairstyle.

However, some chose to go with curly hair down, with more casual and carefree looks like Cara Delevingne and many other models and actresses.

Lips From Cannes Festival

L t R: Carey Mulligan & Georgia May Jagger

Lips were mostly in luscious vibrant red hues, like that seen on Georgia May Jagger and Carey Muligan. However, there were also nude colors present on the lips of the several guests, like Doutzen Kroes, so there are no definite preferences in the category.

Now eye makeup is definitely something interesting as there were various version of it, from natural shades seen on Doutzen Kroes to more bold black smokey eye makeup like the one seen on Eva Longoria with exceptional eyelashes. Most of the time the lack of eye makeup was complemented by the red lipstick or bold accessories and outfits.

The most extravagant beauty look was presented by Elena Lenina, whose hairstyle completed the peculiar crimson dress. The eyes take a special place in the over-dramatic makeup nomination. Lenina certainly was stealing the attention from other guests. What is your favorite beauty look? Have you chosen one already?

New BB Cream For Eyes By Dior

Hydra Life BB Cream For Eyes By Dior

Well, it is amazing how famous cosmetic brands, such as Dior fight for attention by creating various improved formulas of the widely used products. This time it is the BB cream that captured Dior’s attention. BB cream is a revolutionary cream that is a moisturizer, a primer, a foundation, a serum, and a sunblock – all in one tube!

This is incredible because the formula of a BB cream by Dior promises to fight the main fatigue signs that are very visible on the eyes. The BB cream for the eyes promises to take care of the eyes, while moisturizing the skin around eyes, as well smoothing it, concealing dark circles and puffiness.

The BB cream has slightly tinted texture, and along with the mentioned above properties it is also illuminating the skin, while protecting the sensitive areas around the eyes. The formula is rather lightweight making the gaze to appear refreshed and bright. It is perfect for maintaining the medium coverage. Oh, by the way how can a BB cream go without a sunblock? Dior also managed to make the new BB cream for the eyes with SPF 20 filter.

The testing conducted by Dior showed that in self-evaluation after using the BB cream for a month women reported increase in radiance in 64% and more radiant contour in 54% of cases. However, their sample was rather small, having only 44 women questioned. The new BB cream Hydra Life for eyes is available for $ 45 from Sephora. There are two hues available: Luminous Beige and Luminous Peach. Are you excited about the new product for the eyes by Dior?

Keri Russell Covers Women’s Health May 2013

Keri Russell For Women’s Health May 2013
Keri Russell, a 37-old television star, sure is really fit, as she sports her tummy from the Women’s Health editorial for May 2013. She is mostly known for her role in FX Television series The Americans, where she plays a leading role of Elizabeth Jennings. Incredibly fit Russell proves that a mom can be in perfect shape, however, she does admit that it is quite hard because she tries to balance her career and motherhood:

It’s tough. I try to quell my guilt by saying I’m a better mom if I’m interested in my own life. I’m not resentful. I can be really engaged when I am there. I like the yin and yang of both worlds, and I think it would be hard for me to give up either one.

Keri Russell Sporting Amazing Abs

We wonder now what is the secret to her slim figure? First of all, she admits to eat everything, but in small quantities. This is Keri’s secret to staying slim. However, that is not all, fitness is also very crucial. Now, a mother of two says that to stay fit one needs to:

My number one healthy tip? Everyone should dance more. Everyone should walk more. I mean that’s one of the great things about living in Brooklyn and in New York. You get to eat a big rich fatty meal but then you can walk home.

However, despite the fabulous abs, Russell admits she lost her delicious plump 25-year old butt, and she regrets it. Oh, well life goes on, and instead of a 25-year-old butt, she has an acting career, two kids and amazing abs!

Nicolaj Coster-Walday For Men’s Health May 2013

Nicolaj Coster-Waldau Covers Men’s Health

Nicolaj Coster-Waldau landed on the cover of Men’s Health magazine this month with his super sexy gaze. He was born in  Rudkøbing, Denmark, but grew up in a tiny village in Tybjerg with his mother and two older brothers. How did a village boy in love with sports ended up on the big screen? Well, Danish-born actor confessed in the interview that he always wanted to be an actor, but something restricted him from telling anyone:

I always wanted to be an actor, but I just never told anyone. I had this superstition that if I said it out loud, it wouldn’t come true.

Although he has been acting since 1994 in movies that were mostly in his native Danish language, his world-wide fame came much latter, when he started to make his way into movies in English language, which started in 1997. Since 2011 he is playing one of the leading roles in the medieval fantasy series “Game of Thrones” on HBO. He plays a mischievous Jaime Lannister, who later on becomes a positive character and the role very much portrays his personality.

Nicolaj Coster-Walday For Men’s Health By Nino Munoz

A natural athlete, he attributes his success for his love for sports and also reveals his secret of playing cool in the movies:

I love team sports, and being in a movie [is like that]. If you’re not good, you’re going to pull everyone down…You have to be sharp when the camera’s rolling. I want to be totally unselfconscious, like a child playing. I do as much prep as possible so I can lose myself for those seconds.

Now his acting career is running high, because only this year he is scheduled for appearances in Oblivion with Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman; Jessica Chastain in Mama, and Juliette Binoche in A Thousand Times Good Night. That is a high profile already!

Paranormal UV Nail Polish by Illamasqua

Illamasqua Releasing Rave-Inspired Nail Polish

British makeup brand is returning the 90′s back into fashion by bringing Rave into attention, as if it has been truly forgotten. Their latest installment, the I’mperfection collection for Spring 2013 was quite surprising, as it featured speckled nail polish, along with other makeup products. The new Paranormal UV collection promises three incredible nail polish hues that reveal their true nature only in the clubbing light:

• Omen – bright shimmery snake green;
• Ouija – bright shimmery lilac;
• Séance – bright shimmery purple

With just three colors for the nail polish, Illamasqua manages to draw all of our attention, because all of the three tones glow under a black light. Moreover, if you apply a UV top coat, that is entitled mysteriously – Geist, the dull nail polish will be glowing in the dark in the intimate clubbing atmosphere. The UV top coat can also be used to create different patterns that will also glow in the dark under certain lighting.

So this way you get a day and night nail polish in one bottle. Besides, the UV top coat might be quite a find, as it might turn any nail polish ready for rave night out. The official sales of the Summer 2013 Paranormal UV Collection were launched on April 30, 2013 and they will be available at Sephora for $17.00 each.

Chalkboard Manicure Kit Ad Campaign

Chalkboard Nail Art by Ciaté

Ciaté, UK-based company, is known for its extravagant nail polishes, the latest being the Caviar Nail Polish Kit. This time it is the chalkboard that caught their attention. The Chalkboard manicure kit includes black chalkboard base coat, four easy-to-use mini liquid chalk pens (in white, blue, green, and pink) and a clear topcoat for protection.

The idea is quite unique and actually simple in performance. First you need to apply the black matte nail polish and then after it is completely dry, you can start nail art projects. The pens in the kit act as enhancing tools, with which you can draw whatever your heart desires. But here is a trick: the nail art that you draw with these pens can be rinsed off once you don’t like – just like a chalkboard scribbles that can be washed away from the board. However, if you do like the design you have made, then you can secure it with a clear topcoat.

Chalkboard Manicure Kit by Ciaté

This surprising chalkboard kit is rumored to be already on sale through online stores in UK, however, we still have to wonder when will this amazing nail kit hit the U.S. We already know that the Chalkboard Manicure Kit will be distributed through Sephora stores throughout the country for a price of $25. Are you excited to try this amazing nail sensation?

Alison Sweeney For Shape Mag

Alison Sweeney Gracing On Shape May 2013

Alison Sweeney, the famous host of Biggest Loser, has made it again to the cover of the sporty magazine. The star of the reality show that pays obese people to lose as much weight as they can really looks fantastic now. Her first appearance on the cover of Shape Magazine was over a year ago, but she admits that a lot in her lifestyle has changed since. She has participated in a marathon, four half-marathons, and a triathlon for the past year, and they certainly boosted up her stunning figure.

I worked really hard for this and I should feel confident.

However, apart from her recent passion for running marathons, she also reveals her diet as it is also quite important in her plan of staying fit and slim. One of the things she did with her diet plan was cutting sugar intake alltogether. She also surprised her dentist by saying goodbye to the sweets because she has no tooth cavities. Alison says:

The results were amazing. I dropped a couple of jean sizes and stopped craving sweets.

Alison Sweeney Showing Toned Up Tummy

As her snack choices, Alison Sweeney prefers toasted unsalted almonds, lots of water, fresh fruits and bell peppers. As her secret treat, she enjoys a morning yogurt:

I have to be at work at 6 a.m., so four hours later, I swap out an unhealthy sweet for a Yoplait Light which is satisfyingly yummy but a healthy alternative to a morning blueberry muffin.

However even that is not her ultimate secret. Apart from marathons and diet plan, Sweeney also enjoys doing a varied fitness routine. She admitted to do weekly 90-minute sessions of plyometrics, body weight and resistance moves. She also does stretching and cardio workouts, which helps her body always to be in shape.
