Lint Sheets A Go Go

BellaSugar — Wed, 04 Apr 2007 07:12:22 PDT

New from Scotch, (you know the tape brand), is this super cool 3M Scotch Lint Sheets Pocket Pack, $2.79. What they do is keep lint, dust and all of those not so fab fuzzy pills away from your couture! These are must haves for the red carpet or for any big moment where you need to make a great first impression.

The best part about them is they are really small so that they easily fit right into your handbag, office desk drawer etc. The idea was to make them more chic than the traditional lint tape rolls you keep stashed in your closet at home. These neat sheets are for the gal on the go; the busy woman who loves dressing in fabulous blacks or if you're just a lint freak like Fab. Now she can live fearless and lint free! They come in two different thin travel case styles: black and modern floral. Each pack contains 40 strips that can be used multiple times. Enjoy!

Red Carpet Secrets: Pretty Nippie Control

FabSugar — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 04:07:24 PST

Earlier this week I showed you a red carpet secret cautioning you to beware of beaming headlights. But what about the racier gal who might not want to hide her headlights? Some women wear dare-to-bare styles on the red carpet and are just asking for attention. We all know flubs are bound to happen. If they do, why not have on a fun, pretty nipple cover?

I introduce to you Nippies by Bristol6. These nipple covers are functional yet aesthetically pleasing. They are made from real lingerie fabrics such as satin and lace, and there is a silicone version as well. With multiple fun shapes and over 30 different fabrics, from subtle skin tones to sparkly sequins, every woman can find something that suits her style. Nippies are the only nipple cover to be offered in two sizes. The larger size can create lift for increased perkiness, and the smaller is perfect for smaller breasts who may not need the support of a full bra.

Nippies have graced the decolletage of such sassy gals as Eve, Paris, Christina Aguilera, Pink and Pamela Anderson. For them, if someone does see an accident it looks like part of the outfit, and it's not embarrassing. A two-pair pack in coordinating fabrics retails for $16.

Red Carpet Secrets: Deodorant Damage Control

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 05:44:03 PST

Here is another awesome red carpet secret to share with you before the Golden Globes, which air on Monday. For those of you who are sick and tired of ruining a perfect outfit with streaky and flaky white deodorant marks, stress no more! Gal Pal Garment Deodorant Remover Pads, $11, are awesome little foam sponges that will swipe away traces of your anti-perspirant.

They are sold in a package of two and are reusable. This quick and easy purchase is a no-brainer. These pretty pink pads work like a charm and are super soft, so they won’t pill or damage your clothing like scrubbing will.

For gals on the go, there is now a Travel Gal Pal, $8, which is a single, double-sided deodorant remover pad.

Also, for a DIY remedy,

If you are really in a bind and need a quick fix before they arrive, try gently rubbing your marked garment with a damp facecloth doused in Dove (the white kind) Soap. Rinse and repeat. This works well, but it will leave you with a wet mark until the area dries and is not recommended on silk.

Red Carpet Secrets: Visible Panty Lines

FabSugar — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 04:01:09 PST

Many of you have written in complaining about the ickiness of VPLs, a.k.a. visible panty lines. Thongs, tangas, lacy boyshorts and even seamless satin panties seem to perpetuate unwanted marks and wrinkles around the booty area....and what to do when you want to wear a cute, clingy, satin dress or skirt? Here are a couple of red carpet secrets to help you hide nasty panty lines.

Spanx Power Panties, $25, are pure genius! They are a high performance comfortable panty that feel similar to a shaper. The best part about them is there is no leg band that rides up or rolls so that you actually have a completely line-less look under your clothing. You will also look surprisingly sucked in and slender!

One more,

If you don't need tummy and thigh control then you can opt for a lower coverage panty. The Laser Cut Thongs by Commando, $20, are revolutionary for VPLs. They come in two sizes and eleven colors including a light nude, dark nude and true nude. They actually feel like you are wearing nothing at all. Commandos won't ride up and they are virtually invisible under everything. Problem solved.

Red Carpet Secrets: Beware Of Beaming Headlights

FabSugar — Mon, 08 Jan 2007 12:40:38 PST

With the Golden Globes just one week away, we are revving up to see what the red carpet has in store for us this season. One thing is for sure, there are certain things we definitely don't want to see and that is any nip slips or perky headlights - though it does make for good gossip! All week long we are going to share some red carpet secrets with you. Enjoy!

If you have not yet heard of the The NuBra, $60, get to know your new best friend. These adhesive silicone cups give you the freedom to do whatever you dare as well as make you appear as though you are going bra-less. I call them "chicken cutlets" because they feel surprisingly like real breasts, but also kinda like raw meat! How's that for a description?

They are incredible and the most popular gift I give to my friends. They are painless to remove (unlike the band aid-like pasty fangle florals, $8 for three pairs which hurt and burn when you pull them off).

NuBras are thick enough to give you support and to keep your nipples from showing through a t-shirt, but thin enough so they create a smooth and invisible illusion. A clear clip attaches the two cups and allows you to create the amount of cleavage you desire. They last for up to 150 wears.

For a smaller chested option,

If you are smaller chested and don't need quite as much breast coverage, you can also try, Silicone Gel Petals. They are $15, and mimic the idea of the NuBra, but are smaller and meant to protect and cover the nipple area. The drawback is that they don't offer any cup support.

Zoe Saldana on Her Style Guru, Not Being a "Pink Girl", and More at the Cosmo Latinas Launch

Chi Diem Chau — Thu, 10 May 2012 13:43:50 PDT

With her supporting family in tow, Zoe Saldana celebrated her cover on the first issue of Cosmopolitan Latinas last night at the Press Lounge in NYC looking gorgeous in a frothy mauve Elie Saab Couture dress, Bottega Veneta clutch, Brian Atwood pumps, and Irit Design jewels. Between her infectious smile and down-to-earth personality, it was hard not to fall in love with the beautiful actress. At the event, the actress let us in on her style secrets, not being a "pink girl," and why she loves being in her 30s:

On where her style comes from: "My stylist Petra Flannery, she is my must have. I work so hard and I am nonstop that sometimes taking time to think about what I am going to wear is overwhelming. She is one of my closest friends and her taste is exquisite. I literally just show up at her door and if I have time, I love just staying with her one entire afternoon and see what I've been missing, like all of the collections in Paris, New York, or London. Petra Flannery is my go-to, my must."
On her organic style process: "I will say no to certain things; I am not a pink girl. This [dress] took years for Petra to get me to wear - feminine, pretty colors, and pastel. I always want things to be hard and poignant and sometimes, you need these things because they mellow you out, you know? They really help you feel so great."
On three words that describe her style: "Unexpected, emotional, and weather-oriented."
