Speaking of hair -- and color -- I need YOUR help!
I'm desperately itching for a hue change. I was gold last year at this time and am currently a brunette.
Should I stay brown or switch it up back to gold?
Yes, it's true... Bar Rafaeli (Leonardo's main squeeze) is Sports Illustrated 2009 Swimsuit Cover Girl.
This is a BIG deal! And she's a pretty girl, but cover girl material? I don't know... the pic seems a little blah... not very exotic.
Is this nepotism?
Thoughts?
The former Mrs. Beckham (we kid, we kid - although we do have a massive crush on Mr. Becks), Victoria (a.k.a. Posh Spice), chops her mop!
She debuted the new do at the Marc Jacobs Mercedes Benz Fall Fashion Show in NYC on Monday night.
We're thinking this look is rather androgynous - David Bowie circa Ziggy Stardust...
How are YOU feeling about the new cut?
Supermodel and trophy girlfriend to hotness Tom Brady, Giselle Bundchen!!!
The ColorGenius Face Collection campaign will start running in 2009 but the pic above is a sneak peek at the ad! **source** Giselle replaces Carmen Electra after her 3 year deal with cosmetic company.
Is Giselle a better choice? We think, yessssss! She's the sexxxiest (with the sickest bod and cutest boyf!).
You decide~~~
We think that Giselle looks absolutely gorge in this ad... angelic... like an angel - oh wait! She is an angel - a Victoria's Secret angel!
We've never really been a fan of the Max Factor color line but we are a HUGE fan of Giselle... so, maybe it's time to reconsider the products??? Hmmm...
Have a favorite Max Factor product? Let us know! We want to try it!
Hair-crazed Jenny isn't only hair-obsessed, she's also a (non-practicing) psychic. And her ability to see the future is guiding her to a new trend, a very bold and blue trend!
Jenny swears that this blue polish (pictured below) by Sephora (Myrhile) is going to be the next must-have hue for YOUR claws...
(Jenny's blue toes)Gossip Girl Blake Lively at the premiere for her film, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 in NYC at the Ziegfeld Theater last night...
She looks FIERCE!
Great summer makeup (I'd say she's using Tarte's cheek stain Tipsy on those cheeky apples) - love the dramatic eyes with the glossy, frosty pink lips! Her skin has that sexy bronze glow (hope it's a self-tanner and not from the deadly sun!).
And the hair! Wow, it's gorgeous with full-bodied curls and the spring/ summer trend - braids!!! Although, these braids are randomly placed along the crown of her head and they sort of blend into the hair in an effortless, natural way (I actually used to do this to my hair back in the day...). Hmmmm.... new trend alert?!
Penn Badgley does Blake well....
Lancome's newest installment to their world-renowned mascara collection is:
July cover of Vanity Fair Magazine...
Angelina Jolie... pregnancy really does suit her! Angie gives the BEST face... sexy infused with old Hollywood glam... absolutely STUNNING!
If you're a woman (or a gay man) living in America, you're probably counting down the days until the highly anticipated Sex and the City Movie (14 days to go!) premieres....
And if you're like me, one of the main reason you're so stoaked to see the movie is because you just can't wait to have a look at all the fabulous fashion and beauty trends!
So, as a little fashion and beauty preview, Beauty Banter wants to know... who do YOU think gave best face at the London premiere of Sex and the City: The Movie!
Sarah Jessica Parker (what the f*^# is that thing on her head?!? A flower pot?!)
Cynthia Nixon (love the side boob action... who knew lesbians had such sexy style?!)
Kim Cattrall (ehhh... the hair do makes her look 50... which she probably is, but still, don't you always wanna look younger?!)
Kristen Davis (very Charlotte-esque - simple, a wee boring, and very safe).
We vote for Cynthia Nixon! How about you?

A naturally beautiful Amanda Peet!
Here's the makeup that they used to achieve the look:
I just lightened my hair for Spring, and lightened my brows....
Beauty Banter wants to know, what do you do?
So as any of my loyal readers know, I am an ardent believer in sustainable beauty. Helping the environment stay beautiful while helping ourselves look beautiful is a win-win for everyone.
The new Smashbox Green Room Products deliver just this.
So, how do the greenroom products actually help the environment???
"With the purchase of every GREEN ROOM product, a Moringa tree will be planted in a developing country by Trees for the Future. The Moringa or “Miracle Tree” is a powerhouse of nutritional value and provides a self-renewing food source for people in need. More trees also mean less soil erosion and cleaner air and water for a greener future...
All GREEN ROOM packaging is biodegradable or recyclable and all products are made with environmentally-friendly formulas."
I actually had the chance to check out these products at L.A. Fall Fashion Week. I love the idea of them (environmentally friendly, biodegradable and recyclable)... just not sure if I love the actual delivery of the products... but you decide!
The Products:
HYBRID 2 IN 1 LUMINIZING PRIMER - Artificial light ion the inner tube and cult favorite, photo finish (primer) in the outer tube. Love this for barely there coverage and a fresh, dewy complexion. AND, the tube is recyclable!
GREEN ROOM BRONZER (with Moringa Seed Extract) - Bronzer on golden glow (light) or deep bronzer. Personally, I found the bronzer to be a little streaky, as it just seemed to shy away from a real "sun-kissed" effect. Although the compact is biodegradable and I'm digging that.
HYBRID 2 IN 1 COLOR & SHINE LIP GLOSS (with Moringa Seed Extract)- Color on this inside, gloss on the outside. Perfect for the no-fuss woman who likes to carry around just one lippy. When I tried this product, it totally confused me. I wasn't able to navigate between the color and the gloss as it all sort of sprouted out at the same time. But, the pink lily color is divine - a kissable baby pink hue for the pout - if only the tube was more accessible (although it is recyclable!).
GREEN ROOM EYE SHADOW QUAD (with Moringa Seed Extract) - 4 blendable shadows in a leaf pattern for contouring, highlighting and defining eyes. Blossom are pale pinks and mauves, bamboo are bronzes and greens. I was particularly impressed with the shape of the shadows... they aren't separated like most quad compacts, but rather intertwined. And in a way, this makes blending and shading that much easier. I've always loved Smashbox shadows... my last favorite, the Head Shot trio, shattered into a million little pieces while en route to Colombia. That made me terribly sad. :(
Are YOU feeling the Green Room products?
