Jessica Biel's Tips for Day to Night Beauty

Friday June 10, 2011

jessica bielGorgeous Jessica Biel recently shared her tips from taking it from day to night with BellaSugar. She proves to have a lot more in common with the rest of us than one might think with a preference for long-wearing makeup and easy tricks to kick up her look in the evening:


"During the day I like to be practical and to wear something that's not going to fade so I can go to a business meeting and still look professional but not over the top. And then when I'm going out at night, what I like to do lately is a smudged line right under the eye and right along the lash line. If you can really get right in there instead of on top, and then a little extra mascara. I might even take the mascara all the way off and reapply with a different one, or maybe an extra coat to keep it really really fresh. And maybe a darker lip, possibly, or maybe a stain of some kind."

Another Reason to Read Those Labels

Wednesday June 8, 2011

T-shirtsMost of you are probably diligent label readers when you're shopping for clothes. We all want clothes that can be machine-washed for ease and budget reason. But any of you who suffered through the recent heat wave in the east and all of you who are heading into summer will want to consider another reason why reading labels is important: certain fabrics are much cooler than others. Personal style consultant Chrissy Volk shares her tips for the best tees and tanks to wear for summer:

Softest Tees: Cotton tees and tanks are favored in the summer time because it is so breathable. Look for Pima and Supima Cotton - they are the softest cottons.

In praise of rayon: It drapes well and keeps its shape, even when wet.

Best Brands: If you are looking for tank that holds it shape day after day, try James Perse, Target, or BP a Nordstrom brand. They are a Cotton/Spandex blend so you can throw them on day after day, and they will hold their shape very well. The blend you should look for is 94% cotton, 6% spandex for a more tight fitting, yet slimming, tee or tank.

Eyefly.com, an off-shoot of bargain favorite, Bluefly.com, recently launched an eyeglass site, where none of the specs cost more than $99, lenses included! To virtually try on glasses, upload a photo of yourself, then shop by style, material, color and width.

You will need to know your prescription, so you'll have to visit the eye doctor--that is until someone invents a virtual eye test, too!
