More and more often I’m finding hair products that allow you to apply them to your hair before you even step into the shower. I really like this idea, because who has 10-15 minutes to spare waiting INSIDE the shower while your deep-conditioner goes to work? (Please tell me I’m not the only one…)

Using an intensely hydrating formula of natural moisturizers (including Shea Butter, Aloe Leaf Extract, Jojoba and Sweet Almond Oil) and Marine Collagen Microspheres that act like miniature water reservoirs, CB’s Ultra Rich Lip Tints deliver intense, long-lasting hydration. Vanilla Planifolia and Jasmine Extracts add a delectable flavor that will have you re-applying—even when you don’t need to! They are available in 6 shades: Alexandra Rose, Carlotta Pink, Madge Mauve, Rachel Red, Moore Nude, and Because I Love You.

The Inspiration: My sister Charlotte Clark has dedicated much of her life to my recovery. She has always stood by me with a smile.

The Color: I wanted to create a color that would complement Charlotte’s skin tone and bring out her cheery and upbeat personality. A sheer bright pink, Carlotta Pink is a universally flattering shade.

I love this lip tint! It goes on smoothly like lip balm, feels amazing like chapstick, and has the color of a lipstick! This lip tint has been chosen as one of Allure’s favorite products, and I like that!

This beautiful lip tint would make a PERFECT stocking stuffer this season! Check out this product and MANY MORE here!

Anne Hathaway covers the December issue of Vogue Magazine, and Annie Leibovitz shot the pictures! (Am I the only one who isn’t crazy about these photos? Annie could have done better, if you ask me.)

Anne is obviously promoting her new movie, ‘Les Miserables’, and is gunning for that Oscar nomination. The interview that goes along with the cover is very heavy on the ‘Les Mis’ talk.

Here are some highlights from the interview via Celebitchy:

Anne on cutting her hair off: “I love the short-haired lifestyle,” Hathaway tells me with a laugh (she laughs a lot). “It’s awesome that I was able to go for a hike right before I came here to meet you, quickly wash my hair, and now it’s dry.” The only downside, she says, is having to get her hair cut every three weeks. “But I’m turning 30, and—I hope this isn’t obnoxious to say—I feel prettier, and much more myself. I guess I just feel much more satisfied with less now.”

Pres. Obama called Anne “the best thing” in The Dark Knight Rises: “I’m a blusher, and just being inches from him, I went scarlet from the tips of my toes to the tops of my ears.”

Auditioning for Les Mis: “I knew that someone was going to have to go in there and do something pretty special to unseat me,” she says. “Sometimes you leave a room and you feel like maybe you’ve left the door open a crack. This time, I knew that I had slammed it shut behind me.”

Losing weight for the role: Before the start of shooting, she went on a strict cleanse and lost ten pounds, which in the early scenes of the film gives her a gossamer quality. She then took two weeks off and lost another fifteen pounds by following a near-starvation diet, consisting of two thin squares of dried oatmeal paste a day. “I had to be obsessive about it—the idea was to look near death,” she recalls. “Looking back on the whole experience—and I don’t judge it in any way—it was definitely a little nuts. It was definitely a break with reality, but I think that’s who Fantine is anyway.”

On her wedding: “Oh, my God, I had a blast. Our friends stayed and partied and danced till really late.”

She wants to be a mom: “And now, of course, with me having this beyond-my-wildest-dreams success in my own career—and beyond the success, the joy I take just getting to be an actor—knowing what that must have been like for her to put that aside for the good of her children. Oh, my God. I want to be a mother, and I anticipate loving my children quite fiercely. I think about it all the time, though it’s a silly thing to think about because the kind of mother I’ll be depends on the kind of children I have. I can’t wait to meet them.” For now, she feels as if she’s right where she’s meant to be. “I’d feel a little silly and overly dramatic to say that this feels like destiny. But to have this come full circle in such a spectacular way—it’s making me very happy… OK, it feels a little like destiny.”

Do you think Anne might finally get that Oscar? I, for one, cannot WAIT to see the movie. I think it’s going to be really good, I have high hopes!

Taylor Swift graces Harper’s Bazaar’s December/January cover, and in the interview, she opens up about dating, relationships, her career, and more.

The hitmaker is as known for her girlish dresses as for her number-one songs. But, as she has proved, you don’t need to wear trousers to have power.

On wearing dresses: “I’m in a predicament where I can’t wear a dress twice or else it’s pointed out in magazines,” she says. “So unfortunately I have to shop for dresses all the time.” “There’s just something so feminine about a dress,” she says. “Whether it’s a summertime dress that makes me feel carefree, an evening cocktail dress that makes me feel fancy or a vintage dress that makes me feel like a ’50s housewife — which I enjoy feeling like, for some reason — I just really like dresses.”

On dating: “It needs to be equal. If I feel too much like I’m wearing the pants, I start to feel uncomfortable and then we break up.” Relationships are “the ultimate collaboration,” she adds, but sometimes “it’s wonderful to hand over the reins to your boyfriend when you control so much of these big, high-pressure decisions, you know? That is a huge defining factor in who you choose to be with.”

On relationships as a source of inspiration for her music: “Some combinations of people are toxic, you know? You have to find the right one that isn’t just going to explode into fiery ash and destruction.” “Despite all of that and how unpleasant it is, as a writer you get a lot from it. It’s a crazy justification system. You know that guy you really wish you could erase from your memory? But then the answer is track six, eight, 12, and 13.”

On being friends with celebrities including Emma Stone and Selena Gomez: “We never talk about fashion, about career, about our ambitions or our projects,” she says of her pals. “We just talk about relationships, feelings, love, and boys.”

Do you or someone you know love Hourglass? Luckily for YOU this holiday season, Hourglass has released a “Best Of” gift set! You get the BEST of their products – in ONE GIFT SET – for only $59!

The Best of Hourglass set is a sophisticated four-piece collection of bestselling products that will make your skin look flawless, lashes dramatic, and lips gleam with hydrated shine.

This best-of set features two primers that are designed for all skin types. Veil Mineral Primer SPF 15 neutralizes redness (even rosacea) to create an even skintone; helps minimize the appearance of all visible pores, fine lines, and imperfections; extends the durability of all makeup applied on top of it; and repels water. No. 28 Primer Serum is infused with 28 ultrahydrating ingredients to nourish your skin. This silky, lightweight oil blend glides on and quickly absorbs to hydrate the skin, refine the appearance of visible pores, and prepare your skin for makeup application. Fourteen essential oils soften the complexion: bois de rose, lavender, geranium, petit grain, lemon, rosemary, vanilla, clove, amyris, orange, ylang ylang, eucalyptus, cedar, and rose geranium. Ten lipid-rich plant oils help hydrate the skin’s underlying layers: hazelnut, kukui nut, rose hip, borage, olive, green tea, cherry pit, sweet almond, jojoba, and evening primrose. And four skin-rejuvenating vitamins condition the complexion: A, B5, C and E.

With the included Film Noire Full Spectrum Mascara, luxurious lashes are merely a swipe away. This multitasking mascara lengthens, lifts, adds volume and clump-free definition, and conditions. The triple-cut signature hourglass shaped brush enables you to achieve full, defined, reflective, jet-black lashes. Complete your look with a full-size Extreme Sheen High Shine Lip Gloss. Richly pigmented, never sticky or tacky, this water-resistant gloss fills in fine lines on the lips making them appear soft and smooth and delivers opulent shine.

This set contains:
- 0.33 oz Veil Mineral Primer
- 0.35 oz Film Noir Full Spectrum Mascara in Onyx
- 0.24 oz Extreme Sheen High Shine Lip Gloss in Ignite
