BellaSugar — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 14:00:00 -0700

Heidi Klum will be the latest addition to the long list of celebrities who have appeared in the wildly popular "Got Milk?" ad campaign, Vogue UK reports. The German model and Project Runway host will be featured wearing a customary Bavarian maid outfit, alongside a milking cow - just in time for Halloween.

All this talk about this healthy, white drink got me thinking, just what is it about milk that does a body good, in terms of beauty, of course? According to the California Milk Processor Board, people have been using milk for beauty purposes for hundreds of years. In fact, Bella favorite, Cleopatra, used to bathe in milk for radiantly smooth skin. To check out some more milk beauty benefits, keep reading.

Do You Get Your Hair Wet When You Swim?

BellaSugarUK — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 02:00:00 -0700

When the weather's warm, it's tempting to want to dunk your head under water, however, the chemicals in a pool can cause breakage to your hair, not to mention colour oxidisation. If you're swimming in the sea, the salt water is quite drying and can result in damaging tangles. Unless you're willing to do an Evian rinse and then apply an SPF enhanced product, chances are you're doing your hair an injustice by soaking it when you swim. That being said, it's an incredible feeling to have a carefree attitude, especially in the Summertime. So tell me: do you keep your hair dry or do you let it get wet when you go swimming?

Happening Hair: The Modern Half Up, Half Down

BellaSugar — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 07:43:22 -0800

Here is a happening do that is a modern take on the old half up, half down style. This look is great for those of you with long layers or one solid length - so basically anyone, but you have to have some substantial length to pull this off. This is also a quick style for women on the go. It keeps your hair out of your eyes, but won't take it completely off of your face. Ultimately, this is a super sexy hair style, hence it being modeled here on some of the world's sexiest women. You can wear this hair on the third day of a blowout too, just as the crown is getting greasy. This look is also a great way to add volume to a round shaped face.

Choose a shampoo and conditioner with volumizing agents in it. I happen to really love Alterna's Life Volumizing Shampoo,, $17.10, as well as their Life Volumizing Conditioner, $18.30.
Blow dry hair and set with rollers for additional volume. If you want stick straight hair like Heidi Klum's hair shown above, then before blow drying add a drop of Phytodefrisant Botanical Hair Relaxing Balm to add shine, protect hair from heat and control frizz. Wait 20 minutes in the rollers for hair to set.
Gently take out the rollers and begin to lightly backcomb the crown of your hair. Then, smooth it over with a soft brush, I like the Mason Pearson all boar bristle brush. Keep in mind, don't tease your hair too much. You don't want to have extreme lift at the crown, just a little is perfect.
Next, secure just the middle section of the crown with a skinny barrette or two bobby pins. Overlap the pins so they create an "X". Smooth the rest of your hair.
Lastly, spray your entire head with a fine mist of hairspray to keep all of your hard work in place! A new hairspray that I've just discovered is called Masterpiece Massive Shine Hairspray by Tigi, $15.75. Try it and let me know what you think!

Did Heidi Klum Cut Her Hair?

BellaSugar — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 14:00:11 -0800

Same day, two very different lengths. At the grand opening celebrations for Victoria Secret's new flagship store in NYC, Heidi Klum wore her hair long and wavy for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Later, at the cocktail reception, she sported some serious red lipstick and a trendy shoulder-length bob - aka the "lob," or long bob.Perhaps it was a little hair tucking and some pinning trickery. Or could it be possible that Klum used those ginormous bedazzled ceremony shears to chop her locks into a fashionable shoulder-grazing bob? Hmm - can't tell just yet. Regardless of how it was done, (quickie cut in-between appearances?) which look do you prefer on Klum? Are you a fan of her traditional long, model-y locks or do you like this bobbed style best?

Trend Alert: Low Pony

BellaSugarUK — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 04:00:00 -0700

The humble pony is getting a sophisticated makeover this season. Heidi Klum (left) showed off the style on the red carpet with a disheveled twisted pony pulled slightly to the side and paired with butterfly earrings. On the catwalks for Spring/Summer 2009 the do was out in full force too. At the Marc Jacobs show (centre) the girls wore black fabric hair bands with classic ponytails for a youthful edge. Meanwhile backstage at Nicole Farhi super low ponys were full and fat. The ends were looped through the elastic to give a messy yet polished vibe.

For laid back glamour wear over the ears like Heidi or alternatively ape the models and pull the hair tight across the scalp for an insouciant air. Flyaways and texture keep it looking modern. I love that this is such an easy way to copy the catwalk without having to master complicated hair techniques. What do you think of this trend?

Trend Alert: Sleek, Chic Hair at The Golden Globes

BellaSugarUK — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 09:00:00 -0800

The Golden Globes red carpet was filled with so many different beauty looks ranging from tomato stained lips, to loose waves, undone makeup and pink lips, however, the most prominent trend was slick, wet looking updo's. Kate Beckinsale even liked her hair so much from the Critics' Choice Awards that she even gave us a repeat performance. Others like Heidi Klum, Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayek, Megan Fox, and Anna Paquin consistently change their hair, so this style was interesting and fresh.

I would imagine this hairdo is perfect for a nerve-wracking night when the last thing you want to worry about is the way your hair will hold up in the humidity of sunny southern California. I think that all of these ladies are lovely, however, Jennifer's hairstyle is wrapped so tightly, it borders on looking painful. Whose hair do you think was the most glamorous at this years Golden Globes?

Don't forget to vote on best dressed Brit in addition to all of the fabulous fashion and beauty love it or hate it polls - what a fun way to spend your Monday!

Just look at Heidi Klum and Marisa Miller at the launch of the new Victoria's Secret Uplift Bra. They have their hair styled and colored the same, and they have on the exact same makeup shades.
