Reese's Lipstick In Walk The Line

BellaSugar — Thu, 28 Dec 2006 12:32:55 -0800

By now I am sure you've all seen this musical hit from last year. In this film, our American Beauty traded in her famous golden tresses for rich dark locks and transformed herself to resemble the American singer June Carter Cash.

Her hair and makeup were gorgeous and when the movie was released I got many requests to help y'all find the perfect pink lipstick shades she wore in the movie. Below are two different powerful pink lip looks from the movie; one evening and one day. Enjoy!

In this scene, Reese is wearing a combo of Paul and Joe Lipstick in Camelia Fou, (a more hot pink color than the coral shade example that is shown), $18 and La Femme Lipstick in Coral Glow, $5.

For a more sweetheart pink color, I think you'll fall in love with this darling color called Love It! by Lancome. It sells for $20 and is from their Color Design LipColor line.

Shotgun Weddings on the Rise in Japan

TresSugar — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 14:00:50 -0700

Almost one third of brides in Japan are what the Japanese call "double happy." In other words, they have two things to celebrate: an impending marriage and a baby already on the way!

Japanese society used to frown on shotgun weddings, but recently more and more women are walking down the aisle visibly pregnant. Who do experts thank? Celebrities of course! Over the last decade, the country's well-known pop stars and actresses have demonstrated that it's perfectly fine to be pregnant on your wedding day.

Back in America, traditional attitudes about what comes first - the marriage or the baby carriage?- have been changing, too. "Wholesome" actresses like Jennifer Garner and Reese Witherspoon were pregnant brides. And along the same lines, we've previously debated whether celebrities are turning pregnancy and motherhood before marriage into a trend.

Do you think it's still taboo to get married while obviously pregnant?

Everyone's Fighting Over Reese Witherspoon

PopSugar — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 13:30:30 -0800

Reese Witherspoon layered up for her walk around LA yesterday. Her Monsters vs. Aliens is hitting theaters on March 27, and she's already said to have her next project lined up. Both Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson are in talks to star opposite Reese in an upcoming film where she'd be at the center of a love triangle. It sounds like an interesting plot, but of course in real life Reese seems to be content with the affections of just one guy.

How-To: Reese Witherspoon's Hair at the 2009 Oscars

BellaSugar — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 15:45:41 -0800

Just one night, yet two hairstyles for Reese Witherspoon! I enjoyed seeing past winners say a few words directly to the nominees this year even though, as Buzz said, it took a little longer than usual. Since she's already picked up an Oscar for her role in Walk the Line, Reese took the stage to help present the Best Director award.Hairstylist Mark Townsend happened to be present for her fitting of the Rodarte dress, and was inspired by the casual way she pulled back her hair to try it on. He created an elegant updo based on her impromptu dressing room twist, then later gave her lovely waves for the afterparties. See tips for both looks when you read more.

Ceremony:

First, apply Matrix Vavoom Height of Glam volumizing foam to damp hair.
Blow dry with a large, round Spornette mixed bristle brush and an FHI Heat Nano Pro 2000 hairdryer.
When dry, give the hair shine and "piecey-ness" with a sculpting product (like Matrix Biolage Molding Soufflé).
Next, gather the hair in a ponytail at the nape of the neck and twist into a textured knot. Use bobby pins to secure the knot, hairpins to shape the knot into an uneven chignon with lots of loose pieces, and then add light hold hairspray to finish.

Afterparty:

After a quick brush out, spray three-inch sections of hair with Vavoom Gold Head Iron-In Control before wrapping around a two-inch curling iron.
Pull the side pieces back with bobby pins, letting a few hairs around the face fall out for softness.
Complete the look with ShapeMaker hairspray.

Are Your Kids Ever Embarrassed by Your Behavior?

LilSugar — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 07:00:50 -0800

In a recent interview, celeb mama Reese Witherspoon said that her daughter, Ava, 9, is unimpressed by her vocals. The article said:

"She said, 'Mom I really appreciate you taking me to the concert, but will you please not embarrass me in front of Carrie Underwood by singing because she's a real singer and you're just, like a movie singer," says Witherspoon, who won a Best Actress Oscar for playing singer June Carter Cash in 2005's Walk the Line.

Even one of Hollywood's hottest actresses can leave her kids cringing, do you?

Reese Likes Her Holiday Spirit With a Dash of Country

PopSugar — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 14:00:00 -0800

Reese Witherspoon went casual to take Deacon to the market in LA on Saturday. She's starting to make the rounds promoting Four Christmases, while figuring out how to juggle the holidays with Ryan and their kids. In two recent interviews, Reese's inner country girl shines through as she talks about an odd Christmas gift and how she gets her Walk the Line Oscar into the holiday spirit. Here are some highlights:

On her strangest Christmas present ever: "My dad's a doctor, and his patients used to always send him weird things because we grew up in Tennessee - so it's country. One year they sent a dead squirrel . . . as dinner. So we had it in the freezer for like three years . . . my brother and I were daring each other to touch it for like $10."
On the location of her Oscar: "I keep it in my front den. We like to dress it up for Christmas. We put a little Santa hat on it and scarf because it gets cold."
On going to her Ojai farm post-Christmas: "We feed the chickens and the pigs - I have two pigs, and boy are they really pigs. They just get down in that mud and roll around. I like getting down in there and working in the garden. Oh, I want someone to build me a good chicken coop . . . like a man who can just get down there and build it . . . ooh."

Leave it to Reese to make sure her Oscar stays warm, and as for a helping hand on her farm, we think we know just the muscle man for the job.

Oscar Morning

PopSugar — Tue, 31 Jan 2006 06:10:06 -0800

Brokeback Mountain got 8 nominations for Oscar hopefuls this morning. What a way to kick off the day for Heath and Jake. The film was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and best Supporting Actor for Jake and Michelle. What a year for this young group and Jake must be so psyched especially since he was overlooked at the Globes. I told you this movie was insanely good!!! Hopefully they will continue to roll out to more cities in case you have not had a chance to see it yet.

Also having a fabulous morning, the dashing George Clooney. He got 3 noms for Supporting Actor in Syriana, direction and his co-screenwriting in Good Night, and Good Luck, which is also in the running as Best Picture. Both Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon were nominated as Best Actors but Walk the Line missed out on a best-picture nominee.

More to come as we wake up to hear people's reactions and start making bets on who will take home the Oscar on March 5th.

New Product Alert: Avon Pro-to-Go Lipstick

BellaSugar — Tue, 06 May 2008 11:00:21 -0700

America's sweetheart, Reese Witherspoon, sure is working doubletime as the Avon spokesperson by participating in the Avon Foundation Walk For Breast Cancer in Washington, DC this weekend. Not only do I love her for being such a do-gooder, but she's pretty darn adorable in that plaited ponytail.

Becoming the new Avon lady means that we'll be seeing much more of that crisp smile and beautiful skin in the coming months. The first product she has helped launch (just a few weeks ago) is Avon Pro-to-Go Lipstick ($5.99). If you haven't seen the commercial yet, you can watch it here and if you'd like to hear my thoughts on the new lipstick (I've tried Cherry Glisten, the color that Reese is wearing), read more.

Pro-to-Go is a creamy, moisturizing, highly-pigmented formula that also contains SPF 15. It glides on smooth, the texture is light, the color is even a little bit shiny, and the one-hand application packaging gimmick is actually kinda fun once you get the hang of it (it took me two tries). The tag line is "Slide it up. Put it on. Snap it shut. With one hand." The lipstick is available in 15 colors and is on sale now for $5.99 (regularly $9) as a new product promotional item.
