Hairy Legs Hot This Season?

Check out this new advertisement for J.Crew! Notice anything a little funny? Looks like the poor girl has hairy legs!

Believe it or not, the tights are supposed to be Lace Tights, and J.Crew is selling them for $22.00! For $22.00 you can get the same look as if you don’t shave for a month! I think they’re so ugly, but according to their website, the tights are “an essential ingredient in the season’s textural mash-up.”

Maybe a Halloween mash-up!

What do you think? Hit or Miss?

Check out Katy Perry’s skin-tight cat costume in her new fragrance advertisement!

The “Hot N’ Cold” pop hitmaker Katy Perry got into a skin-tight cat suit in purple color and played with a gigantic string ball on a photoshoot of her new fragrance “Purr”. Photographs that will be used for promoting the said perfume are taken by Miles Aldridge.

UK Metro reports that the newest perfume “Purr” is set to be released sometime in November and comes in a “cat-shaped” bottle.

It is reported that the multi-awarded pop singer and husband-to-be Russell Brand are huge fans of cats. The British comedian has a cat named Morrissey, which is named after the former SMITHS frontman.

Sleeping with Makeup.jpg Falling Asleep in Your Makeup—Don’t Do It Again!

Acne and Wrinkles.jpg Acne and Wrinkles: How to Tackle Both
As if it isn’t bad enough having to battle wrinkles, but having to also struggle with acne is just depressing and confusing. Women don’t always outgrow acne, and lots of women who never broke out before can start breaking out in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and older; this is particularly true for women going through menopause.

Cosmetic Ingredients.jpg Cosmetic Ingredients: How Much Do You Need?
Trying to read a cosmetic ingredient label is a lot like trying to read Shakespeare: you know it’s important, but you may have no idea what you’re reading really means. The Cosmetics Cop Team’s Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary can help a lot, but the issue of how much of an ingredient should be in a formula is, for the most part, impossible for a consumer to understand.

Kate Walsh creates her own boyfriend!

Kate Walsh, star of Private Practice, has joined the long list of celebrities to launch her own fragrance. This one seems a bit strange to me (okay, they all do). While the fragrance hasn’t launched yet, the website has – and here’s what she has to say about her new scent, Boyfriend.

You ever miss the scent of your boyfriend on your skin? Well, I did. So I created BOYFRIEND, a fragrance inspired by him but made for us. It’s got all the floral notes that we ladies love and that warm, woody, amber musk that makes you purr like a jungle cat. Now you can take your Boyfriend with you wherever you go. Stay tuned…I can’t wait for you to meet my BOYFRIEND. -KW

She also posted the news on her Twitter:

Your Boyfriend is coming! I can finally talk about my new lady fragrance, woot woot! Very excited! I’m on the cover of Women’s Wear Daily…

I’m super excited about this! Other than being a tv doctor, I’ve been bustin’ my ass for my Boyfriend for the last couple of years and can’t wait for u to smell Him! ;)

Hmm, I dunno about this one, Kate.

I’m in love with Murad’s Refreshing Cleanser!

I ran out of my last face wash, and headed to Sephora in search of something new! I use Murad’s Skin Perfecting Lotion, I already knew I loved the line! It’s an awesome non-drying, foaming cleanser that washes away surface oil and makeup. I don’t like to take my makeup off first with a makeup remover – then wash my face with a different product. This combines both – leaving my face feeling clean and healthy! I highly recommend this product! You won’t be disappointed!

DWTS’ Jennifer Grey: Why I Refuse to Get Botox

Out of the spotlight for more than 20 years, it wasn’t easy for 80s icon Jennifer Grey to return to the dance floor at age 50.

“Before the show, I thought, Oh, I should get some Botox, get rid of the wrinkles under my eyes,” the Dancing With the Stars frontrunner tells the new Us Weekly (on newsstands now). “When you put a lot of makeup, the lines become very apparent.”

But she says her husband of nine years, actor Clark Gregg, told her “not to touch anything, to be who I am, because I look great.”

And Grey — who famously underwent two nose jobs in the 1990s; the second operation left her unrecognizable — is glad she listened.

“Aging is inevitable and the idea that we can be eternally youthful is the pitfall of our society,” says Grey, mother to daughter, Stella, 8. “When my body and face were perfect as far as youth, I wasn’t happy. If you try to hold on to something you don’t have anymore, you can’t be happy in the moment.”
