Healthy Smile Do’s and Don’ts

smiles.jpgWhen I read in a gossip magazine (ah yes, one of my not-so-secret addictions) recently that Jessica Simpson only brushes her teeth a few times a week, I have to admit I almost threw up (and then brushed my teeth). I am a dental-care-aholic. I brush at least twice a day and floss every single night. Yup, it borders on obsession… I recently got some tips from DC-based dentist Joe Kravitz on the (eek) five worst foods for teeth: “What some perceive as a very healthy food or drink can destroy your teeth.

Ban Summer Color Fade!

EmmaStoneHair.jpgWhile girls who never color their hair may long for natural sun-kissed highlights, those of us with a devotion to tints, lowlights, or (like me) bleach loathe the damage UV rays can do to hair!

Beauty Shopping: Dior Svelte Body Contouring And Firming Concentrate

Yes, I finally laid my hands on this product. After so much talking and changing my plans I finally got it. I am not at all satisfied with the results I got with Colistars intensive cellulite treatment. Before pronouncing that anti-cellulite products just dont work I am going to give Diors product a chance. In addition to helping combat cellulite Dior promises tightening and contouring effects

Get Chloe Sevigny’s Met Ball Look

chloemet.jpgI might still be coming down from my fashion high due to seeing Chloe Sevigny on the street a few days before the Met Ball, but I am literally obsessed with her look from this year’s gala. She always pushes the fashion limit, and she gets it right every time. Chloe’s teal lace Proenza Schouler dress was a perfect combination of vintage class with modern flare, and don’t even get me started on her sky-high black platform stilettos! Lancome makeup artist Daniel Martin gave Chloe a runway beauty look for the big red carpet event. “We amped up Chloe’s lashes with tons of Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara in Excessive Black,” says Martin. The highlight of this look is definitely Chloe’s pink lips. Martin applied Pout-a-Porter Le Rouge Absolu lipstick in Proenza Pink, a bubblegum shade that was first introduced on the Proenza runway in Spring 2007 and sold out in two weeks! Martin calls the finished palette a “raver school girl look.” Frederic Fekkai celebrity stylist Cosma DiMarins gave Chloe a pinned-back, messy up-do that highlighted the funky cut-out design in the back of her dress. I love how she had some wavy pieces in front of her face, because the look is achievable and young. The short dress, youthful makeup, and laid-back hair are the perfect trifecta to achieve high-fashion glam that translates to the red carpet.

Kate Dillon and Suki Team Up For Green Beauty!

KateSuki.jpgLast night I trekked down to the Chelsea Whole Foods to meet supermodel Kate Dillon and Suki, the creator of Suki organic beauty products! Both ladies were on hand to gush about the Suki skincare line, and both had noticeably glowing, perfect skin. “I try to be as responsible as I can about what I eat, what I wear, and what kinds of products I buy. So I wanted to find cosmetics that were as clean as possible too,” said Kate. “But because I’m a model, whatever I use has to really, really work, and I went through everything on the market trying to find something natural that would do what I needed! Then, I met Suki at a fashion show and she told me about her products, and I was like, ‘Sure, ok, I’ll try it,’ not really expecting it to work. But then it was just amazing! It made my skin look better than any other product I’d ever used.” As for her favorites? She loves the Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser (”It really cleans your skin but doesn’t dry it at all.”), the Pure Facial Moisture Nourishing (”It feels like a really rich oil and it just melts into your skin.”), and finally the Renewal Bio-Resurfacing Facial Peel (”This just absolutely saved my life. This is just the best! It makes your skin so soft and after you wash it off you’re just glowing!”). Check out the full range of Suki goodies (my personal faves are the Transformative Cleansing Clay and the Lip Repair Butter!) at Sukiskincare.com.
