Lint Sheets A Go Go

BellaSugar — Wed, 04 Apr 2007 07:12:22 -0700

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 -0800

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 -0800

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, read more

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 -0800

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, read 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 -0800

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, read more

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.

How To: Get Heidi Klum's Emmy Awards Makeup Look

BellaSugar — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 13:00:40 -0700

Now that we've talked about the red lipstick and the unique side updo that Heidi Klum wore to the 2007 Primetime Emmy Awards last night, let's take a closer look at the rest of the package from a beauty standpoint.

Believe it or not, this supermodel, TV star, jewelry designer, wife and mother of three has also just finished designing her own line of makeup for Victoria's Secret. The collection is called Heidi Klum Very Sexy Makeup Collection and will be available in mid-October-but more on that later!

Heidi didn't do her own makeup for the red carpet, though. Victoria’s Secret makeup artist Linda Hay was responsible for creating her flawless face, and she even used one of Heidi's new Very Sexy makeup product creations.

Face and Body: Linda bronzed Heidi's skin with a mixture of Bare Bronze Leg Perfecting Spray Tint and the Sexy Little Things Touch Me Gently Airbrush Moisturizer.
Step 2: Next, to give Heidi a little bit of glow (apparently Heidi is a huge fan of glitter), Linda applied a little bit of Bare Bronze Daily Glow Facial Moisturizer. Next, she dusted Very Sexy Mosaic Blush in Love Life to the apples of her cheeks for a rosy, pink look. Then she added some Very Sexy Mosaic Bronzer to her nose, forehead, temples and a down her neck and towards her chest.
Step 3:To create Heidi's smoky eye, Linda used a special mosaic eye shadow palette from the new Heidi Klum Very Sexy Collection .
Step 4:Lastly, for a jaw-dropping red lip, Linda lined Heidi’s lips with Very Sexy Lip Liner in Red Light, and topped it with Very Sexy Perfect Lipstick in Don’t Stop.

For Marisa Miller, Hitting the Beach Is Work

PopSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 11:00:00 -0700

Marisa Miller was in St. Barts over the weekend on a Victoria's Secret swimwear shoot. We caught a glimpse of the supermodel on the same island earlier this year when she was joined by fellow Angel Selita Ebanks. This time it was all about Marisa, who struck her poses with a little assistance from a crew member. It's no surprise that Marisa looked amazing on the sand, but she also looks quite stunning when fully dressed on the red carpet.
