An Older Star's Rx For Kissable Lips!

                           Soften Your Lips This Winter! 

Jennifer Lopez, aka J Lo, is all over the place.
She's promoting her new movie- "The Boy Next Door" 
Ms. Lopez like a lot of older men in Hollywood have to keep 
themselves in tip-top shape if they plan on having long careers
and doing love scenes with co-stars who are 20 to 25 yrs. younger.
And by keeping in shape, we mean everything--hair, legs, stomach,
complexions and lips.

Lips?
Yes, if a star plans on being a leading man or woman well into 
their 50's and 60's, lips being in tip-top shape is a must.
And now that it's Winter, lips really take a beating. Why?
Fewer oil glands, which makes it impossible for them to
moisturize themselves.

So, if you want to be like Jennifer Lopez or Johnny Depp
and keep your lips in great shape, do the following...
a) Homemade Moisturizer-
Mix some sugar, (brown or natural) with a little oil,
(almond or olive) and a few drops of vanilla extract
in a bowl. Dampen your lips a little and gently rub this
mixture over your lips, wait a few minutes and then put a little olive oil
or vaseline on as moisturizer.
Or save some time and money, and place some toothpaste
or baking soda on your toothbrush and go over your lips
for 20 to 30 secs.
Or if you don't mind spending money (like J Lo)
go online to drugstore.com and look for a product 

called-Smith's Rosebud Salve. It contains oils that seal
in moisture and create a layer of protection between your lips
and outdoor temperatures and the dry indoor air.
That's it- another tip to help you look your best this Winter season.

Bethenny's Rx For Kissable Lips!

                       Soft Kissable Lips!

If you watched Bethenny today you were treated to a
dining fest. Bethenny made breakfast treats that were lower in calories.
One of those treats was a smoothie made with strawberries.
And since we're nearing the warmer months, strawberries will be in
abundance.

If you're a fan of just eating them, why not use them to soften your lips.
Softer lips? Yes, use the following lip mask and really show off
your lips this Spring season.
Cut a strawberry  in half and dip it in some
brown or turbinado sugar.
Massage the scrub over your lips and wipe off with a damp tissue.
Finish up by appling your moisturizer, (olive oil or vaseline).
Do this twice a week, any more and you risk wearing away too much
skin on your lips.

Strawberries are rich in Salicylic acid, which helps remove dead skin
cells, plus the seeds gently buff your lips to a smooth texture.
Or if you want a lip buffer already-made look for one called-Bella II Fiore
Strawberries & Cream Sugar Kisses Lip Scrub. online at BellaBeauty.net.

Another tip: Strawberries can also be used to whiten teeth.
That's right- It's rumored that Jessica Simpson uses strawberries this
way. Cut one in half and wipe over your teeth.

And lastly, look for Organic strawberries whenever possible.
Strawberries have been named as one of the top foods that contain
a ton of pesticides due to their soft, outer exterior.
Oh and don't forget to check out Bethenny's new book...
Skinny Girl Comfort Foods.

Good Luck!

Hollywood's Rx For Removing Lipstick!

                         An Easier Way To Remove Lipstick! 

Have trouble removing your lipstick?
Not anymore...According to a modeling makeup artist, removing deep
plum or dark red lipstick can be a big problem for a lot of women.

Her solution: Apply a coat of petroleum jelly (Vaseline) to your
lips, let it alone for a few minutes and then gently remove the
P.J. and lipstick with a tissue or napkin. The vaseline loosens
up the pigments in the lipstick, and this makes it a lot easier to remove
it. Another benefit- The Vaseline makes your lips kissably softer.

That's it- Another benefit of Tyra Bank's favorite go-to facial moisturizer.

Good Luck!

a high shine gloss.

That's it- use this tip tonight or tomorrow night and see if your

With the Fall and Winter seasons already here, that means colder
temperatures and spending a lot of time indoors.

Do a lip scrub once or twice a week.

the pantry items: a little brown sugar, a little olive oil
and a little honey. Mix together and gently massage over your lips
for a few seconds. After that, rinse off the excess and put on your moisturizer.
If you're pressed for time or not willing to make this sugar scrub,  just put
a little toothpaste on brush and brush for a few seconds.

That's it- a simple solution for keeping your lips in Angelina Jolie like shape. 
Start doing this now, and your lips will be ready and  kissable by Feb. 14th.
Important tip: Do this once or twice a week, any more and you may take off

Good Luck!

Hollywood Rx For Using Lipstick!

                          Lipstick Tip From Hollywood! 

Ladies, do you put on your lipstick and then find that it (the lipstick)
has found its way to your teeth?
Well, use this tip from a top Hollywood stylist and hopefully, it'll
never happen again.

The tip: After applying the lipstick, put a straw in your mouth.
Next, pucker your lips around the straw and slowly glide it out.
This tip is effective because the straw pulls off any lipstick on the
inside of your lips, helping you to avoid that frightening red tooth look.

Good Luck,
