Sexing up your look takes more than a red lip stain and tousled hair (but that’s a good place to start). It also takes restraint, grace, and the ineffable ability to make it look like you didn’t fuss for hours over every last detail. In that spirit, we offer you our favorite sexy new looks that actually only take about 30 seconds to create.

Natural Moisturized Lips

Sex kittens the world over swear by this one: Apply a lipstick that matches your natural lip color, then make your mouth superglossy by coating it in clear balm or gloss. (We love Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15.)

Glowing Skin

If you’re wearing anything cut up to here or down to there, you can’t neglect your arms, decolleté, and legs. A good body lube, like Kiehl’s Superbly Restorative Argan Dry Oil, will make the skin look smooth, dewy, and that most tantalizing of adjectives, supple.

Orange-Red Lips

Every woman is a mere two lipstick swipes away from sexpot. The key is getting the shade right—too red spells harlot, too orange is plain ugs. Try mixing shades, like makeup artists did to create the perfect shade at the spring 2010 Prada show: a little bit of Make Up For Ever Lacquered Lipstick in Fluorescent Orange blended with Laura Mercier Crème Lip Colour in Truly Red. (Or M.A.C. Lipstick in Lady Danger will get you there in a single swipe.)

Metallic Lids

It takes a certain kind of woman—specifically, the smoking hot kind—to get away with eyelids dripping in rich gold shadow. Don’t wimp out with safe bronze or pale copper—try pure gold, like Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in Busy Signal, smeared on from the lashes to the crease.

Warm Cheeks

Nothing says corn-fed, golly-gee sweetness like naturally blushing cheeks. And since you can absolutely fake that kind of Lolita glow, there’s rosy cream blush. Rub it on the apples of your cheeks and let the hair twirling begin. (Our favorite: Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks in Pink Truffle.)

I was dying to get try a sample of gel’nbath, a product that turns normal bath water into thousands of tiny gel beads. Now to start off the price is about $20 but don’t let that scare you this is not an everyday product what it would be great for is a special occasion anniversary, birthday etc. or it would make a great gift for a friend.

So I followed the directions and filled my tub half full and then poured the powder across the top of the water and stirred. It was the strangest thing in just a minute the water turned to gel beads and my tub water was bright blue (see pic below). I poured myself a mimosa and climbed in wondering what I was in for. The best bath of my life!

The gel beads kept the water warm forever and it smelled delicious. I thought it might feel weird but it felt incredibly relaxing I didn’t want to get out. The best part is what is does for your skin, similar to a paraffin wax for your body it left my skin so touchably smooth it was incredible. A great product that is fun as it is good for you, I can’t wait for my next gel’nbath.

gel’nbath Gel Bath
gel’nbath is not your typical bath; it’s a relaxing spa bath that will massage your body and delight your senses. Whether you are looking for relief from the day’s stress, to soothe your aching muscles and joints, or to share an intimate evening with a loved one, gel’nbath will provide you with a calming spa experience in the comfort and convenience of your own home.
Let gel’nbath’s gentle touch and fragrant scents restore the balance between your body, mind and spirit. Available in several aromatic scents, gel’nbath can transport you to a carefree oasis far from the stresses of the day. Spa sensations; at-home convenience.

Strawberry
Ocean Breeze
Jasmine Green Tea
Lavender
It has never been so easy to feel this relaxed.
You can enjoy the gel’nbath spa experience in a simple two-stage process.
Stage 1:
By combining the use of essential oils and molecular science, water is transformed into a creamy, therapeutic gel. Thousands of tiny gel beads gently roll over your body, cleaning, exfoliating and softening the skin.
Stage 2:
The gel is dissolved back to its original source… water; with the use of salt where you can continue to enjoy the benefits of a salt infused, detoxifying spa bath that rehydrating your skin and leaving it feeling softer and smoother.
Benefits
gel’nbath is a unique bath product that relaxes your body, calms your mind and rejuvenates your spirit—all within the comfort of your own home.
Deep cleansing and exfoliation: The natural heat of the bath opens up your skin’s pores and allows gel’nbath’s unique gel beads to remove dead skin cells, oil, sweat and a host of other impurities that can lead to unsightly skin blemishes. gel’nbath’s deep cleansing exfoliating bath is even gentle enough for sensitive skin.
Rehydrates: Containing up to 10 times its own weight in water, each gel’nbath gel bead gently caresses your skin and releases water into open pores, rehydrating your skin and leaving it feeling silky smooth.
Detoxifies and softens: In stage two, gel’nbath’s gel beads revert back to water where helpful bath salts will naturally draw toxins from the body for softer and younger looking skin
Heat therapy: The benefits of heat therapy have long been known to help relieve sore and stiff muscles, reduce joint stiffness and increase blood flow. But gel’nbath’s therapeutic qualities extend beyond an ordinary hot bath because its gel beads have the ability to retain heat three times longer than water alone.
Relieves stress: gel’nbath is much more than a simple bath; it’s a deep, penetrating full-body massage. The relaxing gel’nbath spa bath caresses your body and calms your mind, giving you a peaceful escape from the hectic pace of life.
Aromatherapeutic: Infused with relaxing aromas and essential oils, gel’nbath’s fragrant spa baths can rejuvenate your spirit and soak away the cares of the day.
Sensual: Sharing an intimate and romantic gel’nbath spa bath with a loved one can be a wonderful way for couples to reconnect with each other.

This has to be one of my favorite products I have tried this year. I detest my pores they are so big and I have tried a ton of products that work great for awhile and then seem to lose their effectiveness. Well if I can’t get rid of them I want to at least hide them. I nearly ripped the package open with my teeth when I got this sample I was so excited to try it. I just use a cosmetic puff and use this powder before and after my foundation. Okay here is what to love 1. It hides my pores 2. It evens out my skin tone. 3. It keeps my combo skin from getting the mid day shine. My skin has never looked so polished, I seriously love this product if I get stranded on a desert island this little baby is coming with me!

There’s just something about a side braid that’s so effortlessly cute and girly! It’s such a versatile look that can easily go from day to night, seamlessly. Not to mention, it’s a style with staying power as the side braid has been a trend for quite some time and seems to be sticking around. What’s more is this style that A-list celebs are rockin’ is so easy to do! Celebrities including Ashley Greene, Audrina Patridge and Sohee have been recently seen sporting this fun, flirty hairstyle. Want to score the look? Sam Brocato, stylist and owner of the Sam Brocato Salon in New York City tells how to pull it off!

Get the look with these 4 easy steps from Sam:

Step 1: First, pull all of your hair over to one side. If you want your hair to be behind the ear, be sure to shift the hair in that direction before starting to braid.

Step 2: “If you have straight hair, spritz it with a texture spray like Brocato Back to the Beach to give it a ‘not so finished’ personality,” says Sam. Smooth the top with your hand and start to braid. “A typical three-strand braid works perfectly, but the more you experiment the more personalized the look will be,” says Sam.

Step 3: Once the braid is in place, tie the end with an elastic hair tie. Now, hold the braid in the middle with one hand. Then, with your free hand take one or two strands of hair at the end of the braid and pull on these strands of hair. Now gently push the braid in hand up towards the scalp in one-inch increments. Repeat a few times. This gives the braid a chunky, disheveled appearance.

Step 4: “Finally, take very small pieces of hair near the end of the braid and pull them free so there is a sort of unfinished, messy look to the braid,” advises Sam. That’s right, the look is supposed to be messy, on purpose!
