Need a Laugh? Three Mirthful Beauty Options

BellaSugar — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 13:00:35 PST

I love it when companies choose clever and uplifting product names to put a smile on your face. The theme of these items is laughter, and I think they make great gifts or pick-me-ups for yourself.

Space NK Laughter Body Wash ($28) is a gentle liquid and moisturizing body wash made from fruit extracts, rosemary, lime, ginger, juniper, and rosemary. No wonder you'll want to marinate in it while you're taking a shower.

For two more LOL products,

The trio of shadows is made from 100 percent minerals and is naturally free of all preservatives and irritants. Wear alone or blend together to create a silly or serious look.
Lola Cosmetics Geisha Giggle Lip Shine Lipstick ($18) is a shiny shade of coral that's perfect for day or nighttime wear. Plus, it smells wonderful because it's made from jasmine, orchid, lotus flower, and ginger.

Make-You-Laugh Makeup: Suggestive Names

BellaSugar — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 09:00:16 PST

Part of the fun of shopping for makeup is checking out some of the creative, sexy and funny names that companies come up with for new products. While something like Thrrrob is outwardly sexy, some names are more discreetly suggestive. These in particular made me laugh, so I thought you might enjoy them too.

The Balm Plum Your Pucker Lip Gloss in Squeeze My Lemons ($14) is a translucent and gentle lip plumper made from folic acid, menthol, vitamin C and just a slight touch of Maxi-Lip plumper to help increase blood flow to the mouth.

All of the glosses from The Balm are cutesy, but I happen to think the name of this one in particular is adorable. We totally get what it means and can laugh about it without it feeling gross whatsoever.

For two more suggestive makeup names,

read more Urban Decay Matte Eye Shadow in Yeyo ($16). When I saw this I gasped out loud. I am not sure what other meanings this word has, but from what I understand it's a pretty perverse and direct way to talk about cocaine. I imagine that I'm not that far off base considering the description for the color is matte white. That's just poor taste, guys - think of the kids.
Ramy Whipped Liqui-Air Color in Room 369 ($19) is a weightless and whipped liquid cheek color. Think of it more as a sheer cream blush than as a foundation. It glides on smooth and can be worn on your eyes as well. It dries instantly and will last long so unlike a cream blush, you can't smudge it off. I love the subtlety of this name. Ramy, keep 'em coming - your clever names always give me a good chuckle.

Bella Quiz: Beauty Product or Adult Movie?

BellaSugar — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 07:00:35 PST

We've come a long way from the days of Revlon Red. These days, makeup names are more likely to make you chortle at their cheekiness. The names are getting more and more raunchy-so raunchy, in fact, that some seem downright X-rated.

Think you can guess which ones are makeup colors, and which ones are titles of "adult" movies? The quiz is 100% safe to take if you're at work-no naughty pictures or words involved!-so click away!

Make-You-Laugh Makeup: Envy

BellaSugar — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 11:00:50 PDT

If envy is one of the seven deadly sins, I've got no shot at redemption. Cosmetics companies know that when it comes to making money, cute, clever and kitschy names help bring in the bucks. Check out these three amazing makeup products that will surely turn you green with envy too!

Jealous much of my new Urban Decay Lip Envy ($17). How could I resist? This range of gel-texture and long-lasting lip stains dry to a matte finish, yet they still help moisturize dry, chapped lips.

They contain vitamin E, green tea, chamomile, and ginkgo biloba extracts and they have a delicious vanilla scent. The colors available are Envious (pink), Greedy (berry) and Jealous (bronze).

For two more enviable makeup products,

read more Show those two-faced snobs that you can have perfect brows too! Too Faced Brow Envy Brow Shaping & Defining Kit ($35) is a cutesy yet practical eye brow kit that contains two different shades so that you blend and beef up your wimpy brows. Inside you'll also find a stencil, tweezer, brow brush and double-sided pencil and blending brush too.
the Balm Shady Lady Eyeshadow in Jealous Jordana ($15) is a sexy and shimmery eye shadow that can worn wet or dry. The glimmering dark teal color looks fantastic on brown and hazel eyes (especially if you double dip and turn it into an eyeliner). Awww, you say you have blue eyes? Well, like they say, we always want what we don't have!

Make-You-Laugh Makeup: The Morning After

BellaSugar — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 09:00:01 PDT

As we all know, makeup can really be fun. I love it when designers create humorous or sarcastic names to go along with their products-why not, right? A couple of months ago, I posted about funny face makeup names and most recently, on my journey through stores and websites searching for blue makeup, I stumbled across some pretty clever names for cosmetics that have to do with regret. I thought I'd share some of them with you. And of course, if you have any funny names of your own, please comment below!

Remember Too Faced Drunk Dial Liquid Eyeliner from the other day? If you thought that was bad, how about Playboy Beauty Blush in Tie Me To The Bedpost ($17.50). Oh, the things we say in the wee hours of the night.

The color of this sheer shimmer blush looks the same on your skin as it does in the packaging. It is made from triple-milled powders which leaves skin looking velvety-soft. Now you won't be able to tell if the makeup or your dirty talk is making you blush!

For two more risque morning-after makeup names,

read more Benefit Silky Finish Lipstick in Skinny Dip ($16) is a soft and smooth formula that will make you feel sexy and wild....wild enough to go skinny dipping, that is! The lipstick is pretty sheer and the color is buildable, so you can keep adding more to create a deeper color. And don't forget to look on the inside of the box-each lipstick contains a hidden "beauty fortune" inside!
Ramy Beauty Therapy Powder Blush in Bitch Slap! ($19). Contrary to its naughty name, this sheer blush gives your skin a very girly and innocent natural flush. So even if you've acted out in a passionate rage, at least you can look like a cherub the morning after. This blush brightens, contours and can also double as an eyeshadow. Now that's fierce!

5 Tips to Be a Guy's Girl Without Sacrificing Your Womanly Self

Lizzie Fuhr — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 02:00:20 PDT

This concept of a "guy's girl" is slightly vague. Is there a checklist of what constitutes a guy's girl that I'm unaware of? Does it mean you have to be a sports fanatic? Do you have to consume wings and beer above all else? Can you still wear makeup and do your hair?

Being a guy's girl does not mean you have to let your girly nature go. Take these five tips for being the girl lots of guys want to be around, without losing your feminine edge.

Low maintenance does not mean lack of style. It does mean that you can't be attached to every mirror that passes by. Confidence is sexy, and all the guy's girls I know, regardless of their body type, hair color, or general physical appearance, have an innately sexy quality. It's not that you don't care. It's that you don't care an unhealthy amount.
Support his guy time. Codependency is a crime for the guy's girl in you. Spending all your time together does not mean that your relationship is complete. In fact, the smothering can be a huge hindrance to the relationship. Plus, if you support the male bonding, his guy friends will support you tenfold.
Be kind to his guy friends, but don't go over the top. You don't have to overcompensate by nervously laughing at every joke or constantly telling his best friend how awesome he is. Just like you see through it when girls are faking it to the max, guys kind of get this, too. The best you can do is be authentic.
Let him be. I'm talking about the picking on your man that makes everyone uncomfortable in the room. His clothes, his music, and his interests are his. Maybe you can try to turn him on to something new that you're into, but you can't expect him to change or fit into this crazy idealized mold you've created. Couples who have serious differences but manage to make it happen are pretty intriguing. Repeat the mantra: "Let him be."
Look like a woman, and embrace it. Maybe you've got some serious curves and maybe you're naturally slim and sleek. The only thing you've got to do is embrace your body. Stop asking him if you look OK or if he thinks you're fat. This can be a hard one to give up, especially if you thrive off praise from the outside world. Ask any guy: healthy self-esteem is infinitely hot.

Tina Fey Talks Beauty in Her New Book

Allure — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 09:44:31 PDT

We're excited to present this story from Allure!

I'll admit that my girl-crush on Tina Fey has only intensified after reading her new book, Bossypants. It had me laughing like a crazy person on the subway because she's so willing to divulge her nerdy proclivities (as a kid, she relaxed after school by putting on a colonial costume) and her beauty struggles (though, for the record, she's adamant about having all of her "original teeth and face parts"). It's worth reading every page of the book, but here, a few favorite Fey thoughts on beauty.

The True Blood Cast Reveals Season 4 Spoilers and More to the Comic-Con Crowd

Shannon Vestal — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 09:01:58 PDT

True Blood hit the stage at Comic-Con, and lots of the cast showed up, including Alexander Skarsgard, Ryan Kwanten, Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer, Rutina Wesley, Kevin Alejandro, Nelsan Ellis, Kristin Bauer, and Deborah Ann Woll, as well as creator Alan Ball. After letting us see some hot footage from the rest of season four (Eric and Sookie making out!), they dished on what we can expect on the show, and they answered tons of burning questions about the current storylines.

The funniest discussion to come out of the panel was over the outfit Eric's been wearing since he lost his memory, particularly, where it came from. Skarsgard surmised that the clothes are probably not Jason's, but might be something of Hoyt's that he once left behind. "It's a mystery of the season," Skarsgard joked. Ball also teased that it was "a really dorky outfit" but one that Skarsgard can wear "and still be insanely hot."
Regarding Jason's recent ritual werepanther raping scenes, Kwanten said that being strapped down and only able to use his face to act was a nice challenge for him as an actor. As creepy as the scenes were, Kwanten joked that Jason actually may have "enjoyed being called ghost daddy."

5 Reveals From the Twilight Cast at Comic-Con: Sexy Vampires, Stolen Items, and More!

Becky Kirsch — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 10:25:53 PDT

Comic-Con is officially under way in San Diego, and we started the day with some press conferences with the cast of Breaking Dawn. First up were Elizabeth Reaser, Ashley Greene, Julia Jones, Nikki Reed, and Booboo Stewart, who answered questions from reporters and showed off great chemistry with each other as they joked and laughed their way through the Q & A. They promised that the big wedding scene will be "amazing," joked about fan encounters, and even dished on their geeky vices. Stay tuned for video of the conference, but for now check out five things they revealed.

Some of the new vamps in Breaking Dawn will be all sexed up. When asked about the new vampire clans that will show up in Breaking Dawn Part 1, Elizabeth Reaser was mostly fixated on their sexy costumes. She said, "There are lots of sexy vampires walking around, like the Denali sisters. Nutty Romanian guys, their outfits were very S&M inspired."
Their last day on set wasn't as poetic as you might think. You may have envisioned hugs and tears from the cast when the final filmed wrapped, but apparently it wasn't that emotional. Reaser said, "It was such a complicated experience because we all had different wrap days, or at least a lot of us did. We had this weird surreal experience of being left over in Canada, and it was a night shoot, and everyone else was gone, including [director] Bill Condon. Peter [Facinelli] and I had a little dinner together in Vancouver. I don't think it had hit any of us yet. We were just in shock and happy to be coming home. We knew we were gonna be promoting the movie for a few more years so it wasn't really over."
Seth Clearwater is a ladies' man. When asked about their weirdest fan encounters, Booboo Stewart, who plays werewolf Seth in the series, said he was once propositioned by a fan. He said, "Once this lady, she was probably about 40, asked me if I wanted to make out. And then she kind of just walked away, like she had blacked out!"
The cast has a geeky side. When asked if they would like to dress up for Comic-Con, Ashley Greene revealed that she would like to dress as a cowboy or alien and run around the convention hall, while Reaser said she'd dress as Batman. As for fanaticism, Stewart said he'd be willing to camp overnight for a Lord of the Rings event, while Reaser said, "I think for me it would only be if I knew the White Stripes were coming to the tent [to greet fans]. But I'd want it to be one of those safari tents."
They steal random items from the set. When asked if any of the cast members had swiped a memento from the series, they gave some unexpected answers. Julia Jones confessed to nabbing some makeup, Greene has a pair of American Apparel sweatpants, and Reaser took some socks, but she assured us, "only because I needed socks."

Stay tuned for lots more updates from Comic-Con!
