It's Hard to Resist Kristen Stewart's Allure

PopSugar — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 21:03:22 -0700

We caught a sneak peek at Kristen Stewart shooting the November cover of Allure back in July at the Santa Monica Pier, and the issue is finally about to hit newsstands. It's yet another cover after her recent appearance in Interview as she makes the rounds to discuss her latest film in the Twilight series. She sat down to chat all about her personality, what sets the movies apart from all the other vampire stories, and even Robert Pattinson. Here's more:

On her dating Robert Pattinson: "I read that story every day. . . it’s in a story every day, so let’s not put it in another one."
On why Twilight resonates with fans: "There's a lot of [vampire] stuff out there, but this goes deeper. But it's [more than] just foreplay. Even though it does that so well -it does a f***ing good job - the build up is like, ridiculous. But it's all for the right reasons. You're so very much with Bella. You're so in her shoes that it's a vicarious experience. It's addictive."
On people's reactions to the shots of her kissing Robert in New Moon: "This shot got everyone talking like I have some sort of great ass. But come on, I have a flat ass. I don't know what people are talking about."

To see more of Kristen and read what she has to say about her weight, her fashion and staying true to herself just read more.

On staying true to herself: "I go outside, and I’m wearing a funky T-shirt and my hair is dirty, and people say, 'What’s wrong with her? She needs to invest in a hairbrush.' I'm like, don't you get it? I'm not that girl! It's not like I was really clean cut last year."
On her weight: "I don’t exercise. I’m skinny fat. I worry about being too skinny. You should see my brother, he's, like, emaciated. We both just happen to be really skinny."
On the Bella doll: "She has bigger t*ts than me, and she looks ten years older. I have one, it's in a drawer."
On trying to be sincere: “I spend so much of my time guarding against sounding insincere about something that I would die for. . . maybe I’m overcompensating. . . I care so much. And it gets reported as the opposite. And even seeing this [interview], they’ll be like, Oh, she’s trying to let us know. . . "

Make sure to check out more behind-the-scenes photos from Kristen's shoot, as well as a look at her style transformation over the years, before the issue hits newsstands in NYC and LA on October 13, and everywhere else on the 20th.

Rachel Zoe Tweets About Her New Nail Polish Obsession...and More!

BellaSugar — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 07:00:12 -0700

The great thing about Twitter is that it gives us all a unique accessibility to celebrities. Take Dita Von Teese, for instance, who shared her favorite beauty items, from nail polish shades to lipstick to her bargain-buy foundation. Also known for her tweeting skills? Rachel Zoe, who brought us her warm-weathered nail polish pick in July. Since I'm a fan of the stylist's quirky personality and impeccable taste, I thought I'd give her Twitter page a look-see to discover what beauty items she's been using as of late - and just to make sure that she's not literally dying. To find out what bodycare items and nail polish shades she's been going bananas for, just read more.

Switch Up Your Color: Look Fabulous With a Radiant New Shade

Sponsor — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 15:00:01 -0700

Stuck in a hair-color rut? Thinking of trying a fresh shade on for size? Here are some great reasons to treat your locks to an exciting new hue.

Transform your image. New hair color lets you explore an alter ego, whether you’re looking for a dramatic change or just want to rev up your current hue. Always wanted to go platinum blond? Longing for fiery auburn locks? Think you should have been born a brunette? Now’s the time to try your dream shade.

Look 10 years younger. A hot new hair color can banish gray and take years off your looks. Make sure to pick a product that’s specifically formulated to cover gray. Superior Preference® offers fade-defying color that covers gray beautifully.

Update your style. You may keep an eye out for the latest fashion trends, but no stylish wardrobe is complete without the ultimate accessory - gorgeous hair color that flatters your looks and expresses your personality.

Go for the gloss. Nothing restores shine to lackluster locks like fresh hair color. Regularly coloring smooths hair’s surface, keeping it glossy, healthy looking, and vibrant.

Unleash your inner diva. Why settle for mousy, plain, or understated when you can be bold, vibrant, and outrageously stunning? Express your spotlight-stealing side with shades like luminous blond, rich brunette, radiant red, or warm cinnamon.

How to: Victoria Beckham's Pixie Crop

BellaSugarUK — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 06:00:00 -0700

Victoria Beckham's new gamine crop gives her a younger, sassier look that wowed the crowds at the Marc Jacobs show. Victoria loves to experiment with her hair and this spiky style looks gorgeous on her, partly because it was tailor-made to suit her face shape and body.

Victoria's new cut is the work of celebrity hairstylist Garren who apparently chopped Audrey Hepburn's iconic crop, as well as creating short looks for the likes of Linda Evangelista and Mia Farrow.

Jacqui Weaver, Creative Director at Fish salon in Soho, London advises "The crop best suits people with good strong cheekbones and small pixie-like features. Posh pulls this cut off as she has lovely high cheekbones and it enhances her swan-like neck."

The pixie crop is also super versatile, as it can be worn sleek or spiked up. Here's some easy styling tips to re-create Victoria's look of the moment: Just read more:

Work with product to really show off the texture. A messed-up, dishevelled do generally looks younger and sexier.
Use hair wax to add definition to the pixie cut. Try Play Fish Sculpt & Define Wax, (£5.49), for extra texture.
Rub a small amount of the wax vigorously between palms and apply to damp or dry hair. Then simply finger style for a mussed-up effect.
Short hair can be incredibly low maintenance but if you're using lots of product you'll need to wash it every day with a nourishing shampoo. I like Charles Worthington Brilliant Shine Takeaways Shampoo, (£1.65). This way you start with a clean canvas each morning for styling your hair.

Love It or Hate It? Amy Winehouse's New Perm

BellaSugarUK — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 05:00:00 -0800

A high spirited Amy Winehouse visited her old flat in Camden last night. She wore a scruffy tee shirt but all eyes were on her latest hairstyle. Amy's new short perm looked messy but admittedly super shiny as she scampered around London wearing not a scrap of makeup.

It's refreshing to see Amy making a change from her enormous beehive and I like how this cut makes her hair look naturally thick and healthy. It feels hard to judge Amy's appearance too harshly right now, seeing as she's going through such a rough time. How about you, do you think this new do suits Amy?

Love It or Hate It? Kylie's Smoky Eyes

BellaSugarUK — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 05:00:00 -0700

A sultry Kylie Minogue was sharing her style secrets at William Baker's B Boy Underwear launch in London last night. Kylie opted for a rocker-chick look of smoky eyes, silver earrings and a black leather jacket. I love her eye makeup which is dramatic without being too bold, and the shimmery grey shade really picks up the green colour of her eyes.

Kylie's complexion positively glowed and it was enhanced by pale pink glossy lips. Messy hair is always very London, but I'm not sure about her pulled back pony or dark roots here. How do you feel about this look on Ms. Minouge?

Love It or Hate It? Kelly Brook's Retro Hair

BellaSugarUK — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 10:00:00 -0700

British actress Kelly Brook is out and about in London today working an Old Hollywood glamour vibe. She's teamed a fitted cream suit and vertiginous heels with huge hair and polished makeup.

Kelly has gorgeously thick hair and she's working volume at the crown and a swept off the face look that has a definite late 60's feel. Add masses of sexy waves with honey blonde highlights and it seems this girl can do no wrong. I do think this slightly old-fashioned look makes her look older than her years, though, and is it a little over the top for the daytime?

How about you, do you love or hate her retro hair?
