Love It or Hate It: Jessica Biel's A-Team Orange Lip

BellaSugar Australia — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 16:30:00 +1000

It's fitting that Jessica Biel should bring her A Game with her while promoting The A-Team. In recent days she's debuted some gorgeous ombré effect highlights, done sexy backcombed bedhead and now, she's a sleek siren complete with mandarin lip. It's actually my favourite Jess look. As you know, I'm quite the orange lipstick fan obsessive - a bin liner could wear it and I'd applaud. But there's something extra special about this. The way Jess' hair is sleek and straight, but curled loosely at the tips. It's all working together in a beautiful fashion. I'm thinking Mad Men. I'm thinking Veronica Lake. I'm thinking LOVE. You too? Or not so much?

Blake Lively's Textured 'Tail: So Good, She's Worn It Twice

BellaSugar Australia — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 12:30:16 +1000

I'm totally smitten with Blake Lively's textured ponytail. You too? Blakestar obviously is. The Gossip Girl star's worn it twice in the space of a week. And why not? It's totally gorge. All sexy and teased and not at all prim and proper. But fun and flirty just like her. She first sported it on Saturday at day three of Comic-Con and then chose it again for Wednesday night's screening of Twelve. The only slight variation in styling is the face-framing tendrils that she teamed it with on Wednesday. I totally dig the style. It's cute and breezy, not to mention easy to recreate. It works great on day-old hair but evo haze styling powder ($29.95) will sort you out if you're all clean and baby-haired. Then tease your hair from the roots, loosely pull into a pony, taking out an inch-wide section to wrap around the elastic and then Bob's your uncle you're done. Just finish with a light hairspray and pull out a few front bits if you like. Simple, huh?

The Boys Are Back In Town: Which "Face" Do You Like Best?

BellaSugar Australia — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:44:47 +1000

Spring is on its way and love is in the air thanks to these fresh faces for some of our favourite fragrance and cosmetics brands. The latest being rugged actor Gerard Butler for L’Oréal Paris Men’s Expert. He joins Jude Law who is set to front Dior's new men's fragrance and Clive Owen who is the first celeb to ever endorse a scent by Bulgari, Bulgari Man, which hits counters October 17. Personally I'd happily stare at these three all day long, but do you have a fave?

Which Gossip Girl Star Looked Best at Twelve?

BellaSugar Australia — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 17:30:00 +1000

Normally it's Serena and Blair battling it out to look the best, but it was their Gossip Girl co-stars' turn last night at The Cinema Society & 2(x)ist Screening Of Twelve which stars Chase Crawford. Bless the girls for supporting Nate. Jessica Szohr went pretty low-key wearing barely any makeup on that pretty face of hers and teasing her hair into a half-hive. Cute. While Michelle Trachtenberg went all sexbomb on us, pulling her hair back into a sleek pony and rocking a deep red lip. It was pretty against her porcelain skin but I think I prefer when she's working a strong eye, like at the Darker Side of Green debate the day before. Anywayz, which Upper East Sider's style will you be spotted stealing? Stat.

Milla Jovovich Looks Pretty in Pink For Vogue Russia

BellaSugar Australia — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 13:31:26 +1000

Vogue Russia's Cannes supplement - part of the August issue - sees a fun and flirty Milla Jovovich take to the cover. The Ukranian hottie does bedhead so beautifully, pulling her hair into an exaggerated side part that casually drapes over one eye. Sultry, sexy, yet super-easy. I'm loving her simple makeup palette, too. The wash of gold across the lids really makes her blue eyes pop and the punchy pink on the lips is light and fresh. English rosey. LOVE. Try Maybelline NY Color Sensational™ Créme Gloss in Pink Perfection ($14.95), NARS Lip Gloss in Easy Lover ($55), Max Factor Vibrant Curve Effect Lip Gloss in Me Me Me ($20.95).

Pssst. True Blood's Deborah Ann Woll Isn't Really a Redhead

BellaSugar Australia — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 11:41:06 +1000

It seems blondes don't always have the most fun. Redheads do. So say Christina Hendricks, Miranda Hobbs and True Blood's Deborah Ann Woll who plays baby vamp - bamp - Jessica on the hit show. Yep, Deb is the latest star to come clean about her natural blonde locks. She told MARKTBeauty.com (which, FYI is fast becoming one of my favourite blogs . . . I can't wait for the Lea Michele August cover) that she made the change aged 15, five years older than Christina, and that it's totally for keeps: "being a redhead is part of my identity. I might go blonde for a role, but I’ll always be a redhead." But the biggest reveal is, she dyes her own hair using L'Oreal Excellence Crème Color in Light Reddish Blonde. Sadly this shade isn't stocked here, but try L'Oreal Excellence Crème Color in 834 Golden Copper Blonde ($19.95) instead.

Check out more pics from the Deborah Ann Woll shoot on MARKTBeauty.com now. Stockists: 1300 659 259.

The London Look Face-Off: Jessica Biel vs. Audrina Patridge

BellaSugar Australia — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 17:30:00 +1000

Both girls were in London Town last night: Jessica Biel was there with her A-Team cast mates to promote the movie, while Audrina Patridge was bidding adieu to The Hills. Yet again. Which means peeps that we've struck gold for another London Look Face-Off. (The last one was super-close, remember? But Ashley Greene did just enough to take the title.) In the red corner, we have Biel, who wore her newly-lightened strands all teased and rock 'n roll. She teamed the sexy style with a gorgeous metallic eye and peach gloss. While in the blue white corner, Patridge twisted her tousled hair back into a make-shift half-up, half-down 'do. Her makeup look was fairly similar, but she kept the sparkly eyeshadow to the upper lids, and added a double dose of tan and fake lashes. I've gotta say Jess has my vote. Glam-o-rama. Who has yours?

Hair How-To: Sophie Ellis Bextor's Beehive in 5 Simple Steps

BellaSugar Australia — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 15:30:00 +1000

Sophie Ellis Bextor wore this gorgeous '60s beehive-style to the opening of Jacques pop-up boutique in London yesterday. It's less slick that the Prada style but a tiny bit more polished than the teased Vogue Italia version and is rather perfect for afternoon tea with the girls. Here, Brad Ngata tells you how to get the look . . .

STEP 1: This beehive-esque look is all about having the right texture to keep the hairstyle current. Use a mousse on washed hair and then blast dry-flip your head over and blast dry again to ensure extra volume that will be long-lasting.

STEP 2: Next, set hair in hot rollers or use a large barrel curling iron. Do NOT brush through the curls.

STEP 3: Separate your hair between your forehead and crown and clip it to the side-this section will be styled last.

Could It Be, Sofia Coppola For Christian Dior Parfums Again?

BellaSugar Australia — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 14:30:00 +1000

I don't think a fragrance commercial has ever compelled me to want, no need, the scent quite as much as Sofia Coppola's Miss Dior Cherie TVC. I could watch it over and over and still never get bored. And every time I spritz, I'm reminding of the flirty jaunt through Paris on a Summer's day. I feel as though it's me in those '50s glasses, riding my bicycle and picking out sweet treats. So you'll understand why I'm a little frickin' excited that UK Grazia is predicting that Miss Coppola has joined forces with the latest Dior face, Natalie Portman, to create a little bit of magic all over again. Both were seen in Paris last week filming. Separately albeit. But still. Even though no official details have been released, still doesn't mean we're not wishing that Sofia makes us fall in love with fragrance once again. Excited? Even if it's just a rumour?

Get Estelle's "Fall in Love" Bold Purple Lip Colour

BellaSugar Australia — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 08:48:41 +1000

I am LOVING Estelle's new song, "Fall in Love" which sees her hanging out with Nas and John Legend while rocking some sweet purple lipstick. Like last year's black lipstick trend, purple is totes striking, but unlike its darker counterpart, it can look cool and edgy without being too severe. It's also a neutral shade, so it works on heaps of different skin tones. Depending on how bold you want to get with it, you can wear anything from a tinted balm to a creamy aubergine lipstick. Try: MAC Go For It Lipstick ($35) or Topshop Gloss in Pulp (approx $8.65).
