Red Carpet Confidential: Rumer Willis Talks Fashion, Beauty, Scary Movies

Rumer Willis plays a sorority girl in the horror flick Sorority Row. Like any upscale college cutie, clothing plays a big part of her life.
“My friends call me the bag lady because in my car, I always have at least one change of clothes and all these different things,” Demi’s daughter, 21, tells me. “I think if you have a swimsuit with you at all times, if you have a dress you can throw on, you have whatever you need and you can go anywhere.”
With fall coming up, what does Rumer look for in a leather jacket?
“I like it to be warm,” she says. “I think things with character are much more interesting than something that’s entirely perfect.”
What’s her red carpet beauty secret?
“Don’t put too much black eyeliner on top because it’ll close your eyes, and when you have flashbulbs in your eyes blinding you, your eyes will get really small and you’ll look like you have no eyes a little bit.”
Rumer credits this role for helping her grow.
“I look for characters that will either push me outside of my comfort zone and challenge me or do things that I want to explore,” she says.
What movies scared her when she was growing up?
“I watched The Mask when I was younger, and the scene where Jim Carrey’s thing went over his face, scared the crap out of me. Luckily I’ve gotten over that.”
Sorority Row is in theaters now.

A total dud… Komenuka Bijin’s Makeup Remover

I tried this product, based on this review below:
Product Description
All-Natural and fragrance-free, Komenuka Bijin’s Makeup Remover gently removes makeup and cleans pores. Vitamins A, B1, and B2 rejuvenate your skin while removing makeup, and aloe helps make your skin truly healthy.Fragrance-free, Komenuka Bijin’s Makeup Remover gently removes makeup and cleans pores. Vitamins A, B1, and B2 rejuvenate your skin while removing makeup, and aloe helps make your skin truly healthy. If you’re looking for a safe, all-natural, and effective anti-aging regimen you’ve found it in rice bran – a centuries old beauty regimen and the secret of the ageless Japanese complexion.
Benefit from the miracle that’s been around for centuries!
The Japanese have known for generations that the potent vitamins and antioxidants in rice cleanse, tone, tighten, and regenerate softer and suppler skin. Now it’s available in a highly concentrated unscented formula, along with other pure and all natural ingredients. No other product are available, at any price, with such a high amount of potent ingredients and no chemicals or artificial fillers. You’ll use less and see visible results sooner than other more expensive products.
TrueRenu does the searching – and researching – for you. We look for hard to find, hard working products that do what they promise, and we bring them to you with detailed descriptions. We like Komenuka Bijin for its high amounts of antioxidant rich rice bran, and other natural ingredients. Because the active ingredient is so dominant, you’ll see the benefits sooner – and use less.
Product Size: Net Weight: 100g, or about 3.5 ounces.
But let me tell you, I thought this product STUNK. It’s a makeup remover, shouldn’t it remove makeup? I wear black eyeliner at times, and this remover wouldn’t remove the liner. It left me with makeup still on my face, and I was extremely frustrated. The two times I tried this product, I had to finish with another face wash – just to get the eye makeup off! Not to mention this product left a slimy film on my face. It wasn’t a good product at all, and I’m not going to tell you where you can buy it – cause it costs $36! If you’re looking for a makeup remover like I was – stick with the always amazing Lancome’s Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover.

Hot new mascara from Laura Geller! Full Figured Lashes Mascara!

Bigger is better. This volumizing mascara magnifies and extends lashes by combining two lengths of nylon fibers in a creamy, water-resistant formula. Cellulose and amino acids work to strengthen lashes, while rice protein adds shine. Vitamin-rich ingredients help maintain hydration while preventing damage, so your lashes look luscious day after day. Ophthalmologist-tested, the formula is suitable for contact lens wearers. From Laura Geller.
See our other Laura Geller reviews!
I love this mascara, and I’m a tough critic. I dismiss most mascaras, because I’m extremely picky. I am especially tough on the brushes, a brush is the most crucial part of mascara, if you ask me. And I really love this brush, I love the mascara itself, I love how easily it goes on, and how easily it comes off. It looks and feels like a million bucks!
Also – not that it reeeally matters, but I love the look of the tube! It fits in the hand just perfectly, and I love the shape of the handle! Awesome! All around – two thumbs up!!!

This product really took me by surprise! I get a lot of samples sent to me, and rarely do I find a product that really amazes me. Like – how could I not have known about this before – products.

My Review: Murad’s Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Gel

I’m 32 years old now, and I am definitely seeing the toll years of sun has taken on my skin. I have sun spots – and age spots on my cheeks, and they drive me NUTS. I looked online for an over-the counter product that I could use, without the need of a prescription.
I came across this product, and my interest was immediately piqued, because I LOVE Murad. I’ve come to really enjoy their products. They actually work! Go here to read our other reviews on Murad products!
This product is amazing. I put it on my face after cleansing at night before bed. (I pair it with Bliss’s Spiff Upper Lip) After a couple weeks, I have really noticed a difference in the tone of my skin. My sun/age spots are much lighter – and I am confident that if I keep this up – these spots will disappear altogether.
Age Spot & Pigment Lightening Gel
Quickly diminish freckles, age spots and other unwanted pigmentation with Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Gel’s dual action formula. Hydroquinone, the strongest skin lightening agent available without a prescription, fades discoloration. AHAs exfoliate to improve the penetration of Hydroquinone and encourage cell turnover to accelerate the migration of dark spots to the skin’s surface where they can be lifted away.
Additional features and ingredients:
- Improves skin clarity and tone
- Anti-inflammatories Licorice and Allantoin ease irritation
How to Use:
Every day after cleansing and toning, massage a thin layer over face, neck, chest and hands. For optimal results, follow with recommended Murad moisturizer and sunblock during the day.
