Clothes have a wonderful way of re-shaping your legs and overall figure without the stress and pain of exercise, but that shouldn’t stop you from hitting the gym for you need to stay fit just as well. Unfortunately, not all of us have those slender legs that the stars flaunt yet some fashion has a way of making those legs look more slender than they really are. Vertical stripes work as well on your legs as they do on your body, creating an illusion that fools the eyes of a more slender look. (more…)

Fuller Eyelashes
Want to have longer and fuller eyelashes? Two popular options for women who want to draw more attention to their eyes and face are the mascara and false eyelashes. Different brands are available in your local pharmacy, supermarket, or even online.
One option is to use a mascara which comes in various forms and formulas. A mascara helps in defining your eyes. It thickens and lengthens lashes with each application. You can either have a water proof or a non-water resistant mascara. You should never share a mascara so as not to acquire or pass on an infection. Also, a mascara should be discarded 3 months after you open it.
Another popular alternative nowadays is the use of false eyelashes. False eyelashes has two types, the full lashes and individual lashes. Remember not to use false lashes for too long to prevent eye irritation and possible infection from the glue used.

Shiny Legs
A little bit envious of those pairs of shiny celebrity legs? There’s a simple trick to it that I’m sure you’ll be able to use with very little cost. Just buy a bottle of baby oil! Put as few as small drops to generous amounts (it depends on how shiny you want it to be) of baby oil on your palms and slick down your legs. Rub gently on skin, until you have made sure that your skin has absorbed most of the oil. Do this before putting your (party) clothes on. We don’t want tell-tale marks showing after all. Try to apply standing up, so as not to ruin furniture with oil marks.

Asian skin tone
This is a great tip for Asian women or those who have a medium-toned or skin with yellow undertones. Like the previous post, try using foundation that is also yellow-based. There are lots of cosmetics lines that offer such hue in their foundation products. Most celebrity make-up artists simply use color that blends naturally with the skin as opposed to making the skin look pasty and doll-like. What you can do to make sure that you have the right tone of foundation is to test it on your jaw and look at in the mirror under daylight.

Lemon wash
Asian actress and former beauty queen Michelle Yeoh (remember Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?) keeps her face fresh and clean by giving it a lemon wash. The acid in lemon cuts natural oil in the face so it is best to use for oily skin. Lemon juice also makes stubborn dirt come off the pores as well. All you need is the juice of two to three lemons, hot water, and two to three tablespoons of honey. Shake all ingredients together in a jug and use as a face rinse. For not-so-oily skin, add more water to make lemon less intense.

Rachel Zoe fashion essentials
Hollywood Fashion A stylist (try Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, Keira Knightley and Mischa Barton) and author of “Style A to Zoe: The Art of Fashion, Beauty, and Everything Glamour”, Rachel Zoe, reveals some fashion essentials during her guest editor gig at shoe retailer Piperlime.com:
Invest in good pieces in classic colors that can be mixed and matched. Adding a few accessories would also be advisable.
Fashion for the woman-always-on-the-go, staple pieces are: a pair of patent shoes, trench coat, underpinnings, white shirt, full suit, black dress and pencil skirt.
Pieces should not necessarily match but hardware such as belts and shoes must complement each other. Add little bits at a time and don’t contrast too much.
The safest hosiery to wear is black opaque tights. Stay away from patterns.
Advice on the boots-over-jeans look – Tall girls can wear high boots, muscular girls can go for scrunchy, mid-calf boots, and the petite ladies can be cue in mid-calf or ankle boots.

Nyce legs!
Stockings are considered as a need in every girl’s “must haves”. They wear stockings (or pantyhose) when wearing skirts or any type of short clothing for that fact, when attending formal functions such as meetings, luncheons and dinners. Stockings give this “flawless” and smooth look (not to mention hair-less) on the legs of a woman.
However, have you ever experienced having a stocking “run” and you were in the middle of a meeting you can’t rush out? You’ll probably swear and start to practice “selective amnesia” afterwards!
Nyce Legs Spray on Thighs has the solution for you. You won’t anymore need to wear stockings and have those ugly “runs” on your legs! You won’t even be concerned at all about it being rubbed off since it can only be washed using soap and water! Fantastic!

homemade facial scrub
Celebrities have a lot of beauty secrets. One of their secrets for having a great, glowing complexion is through regular exfoliation. Of course, some stars use expensive commercial products from the expensive beauty houses, which is understandable since they earn a lot of money! But if you want to regularly exfoliate without breaking the bank here’s a great formula that won’t even cost you much.
This home exfoliation treatment only uses two ingredient s – first, put some sugar in a saucer then pour some olive oil on the sugar. Mix it. Clean your face and apply the sugar mixture to your face and start scrubbing very gently. After a few minutes rinse with warm water and you’ve got a freshly exfoliated face that doesn’t even cost you anything. Do this regimen about once or twice a week.

Yellow-based concealer
To make sure that your eyes do not looked washed-out and hollow after a hard night’s out, try applying foundation or a yellow-based concealer all over your eyes. Although you have to apply it on the lids, make sure that you start with small amounts of the foundation and blend it well with the skin. After doing so, don’t forget to set with powder to avoid creasing and sliding. You can now apply whatever eye make-up you wish to put on.

Wanna be “sucked”?
There are millions of toxins inside the human body—but only SOME are released through the different “holes” of the body (i.e. sweat glands etc.). So what about the rest?
Ashton Kutcher’s wife Demi Moore has a unique way of detoxifying herself with the aid of rather unique little creatures: leeches. She indicated that the leeches she uses aren’t the ones we normally see around the marsh but she specified that these are “medical leeches”, trained inside the laboratory to do such task: suck the blood of a person for detoxifying purposes only.
Demi indeed has her own definition of detoxification.
