BellaSugar — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 08:59:39 -0700

Oh, how I adore two-in-one products! And this Senna Cosmetics Mineral Mix Blush & Tint ($35) is amazing! It contains an extremely sheer loose powder mineral blush and a lighter, sheer pressed powder highlighter. Both colors compliment each other beautifully to create a three-dimensional glow and natural-looking flush.

The finely-milled products and are free of fragrance, talc and oil-but the best part is the packaging! The loose powder blush is housed on the bottom of the container and the highlighter is packed into a solid on the top. If you like this style, it Is also available in four shades of bronze & glow as well as four shades of cover & finish .

The colors available for the Mineral Mix Blush & Tint are

Oasis: a bronze rose
Organza: a natural rose
Rose Quartz: a fresh coral-pink
Sunset: a sheer peach-rose

New Product Alert: Vincent Longo Pearlessence Gel Stains

BellaSugar — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 14:00:56 -0700

These new Vincent Longo Pearlessence Gel Stains ($22.50) are slightly different from the other cheek tints on the market because they are infused with shimmer. They are also water-resistant and sweat-proof which makes them perfect for beach beauty!

They are truly long-lasting, they give you a natural-looking glow and they can be used as both a cheek or a lip stain. That's all great, but the only issue I have is that you have to work quickly to blend before they dry. Once the color sets, you're pretty much stuck with it all day. My advice is to apply to one cheek at a time and start off lightly, since you can always add more.

The stains are available in three colors:

Bellini Love: warm, shimmery pink
Dolceacqua: shimmery plum
Fresh Water Rose shimmery silver-plum

I recommend using Bellini Love while summer's still going strong, then going with one of the plum shades for fall. It's not too far away, you know!

The Secrets Behind Pretty Private Parts

Say it isn't so. We've shared some red carpet secrets with you to prevent catastrophes, but it never occurred to me that some people actually prepare and look forward to a nipple slip or a picture of them bending over while going commando. Whoa! Some gals actually enjoy a 'lil scandal. Duh: that's why we're so addicted to PopSugar!

How about a show of hands for all of you that bleach your anus. Yep - it's true. There is a desirable shade of ass. There's even a Salon in Sherman Oaks, CA, dedicated to it.

Esoterica Nighttime Fade Cream, $9.99, is an at home product that you can use to help lighten up your load (ha!). It's made with 2% hydroquinone formula (bleaching agent) that is safe and gentle enough for most people to use in the sensitive areas of their body.

*Note: If you are irritated by this product, discontinue use immediately. Do not use on broken or irritated skin.

Now I've only used cheek tints to give a healthy glow to my face cheeks and lips. It has been brought to my attention that others like to use Benefit's benetint, $28, to tint their breast areola a perfect blush color.

So if you've wondered how celebs, strippers, dancers and porn stars get such succulent nips - now you know!

To read what Benefit has to say about this usage of their product, read more

"Women want nipples to be pert and fresh-looking, and this shade makes them appear that way. For a long time, the idea of a ripe, rosy nipple has been considered appealing and alluring. Even if you don’t show it off, you know they’re rosier and more perky."

Roll-On Cheek Tints

BellaSugar — Thu, 31 Aug 2006 14:23:24 -0700

Roll-ons aren't just for deodorant anymore. Last week, we wrote about no-fuss eye shadows, and now, several cosmetic companies are catching onto the easy application of roll-on cheek color. Say goodbye to messy rouges and expensive blush brushes. With these, you just roll on and blend with your fingertips.

Lorac Cosmetics Travel Size Sheer Wash is a sheer cheek stain that lasts up to five hours longer than blush. Buy it here for $17.50 in three different shades: Sheer Emotion, Sheer Luck, and Sheer Magic.

Jemma Kidd Make Up School Rosy Glow Lip and Cheek Tint, designed by ex model Kidd, gives your face a very natural-looking flush. Buy it here for $37.50

This is more of a push-up stick than a roll-on, but it also happens to be Kate Moss's fave cheek stain, so I had to include it. Jelly Pong Pong Jelly Flush smells delicious and lends a nice, dewy flush to your cheeks. Be sure to let it dry for a minute or two after application. Buy it here for $29.

Pinkie Swear Roller Girl All Over Body Glitter is loaded with shimmer, aloe vera, and vitamin E to keep your skin soft and glowing. For use on cheeks, clavicles, or anywhere that you want to draw a little extra attention. Buy it here for $14.
