Love It or Hate It? Maria Menounos Goes '60s Chic

BellaSugar — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 12:00:17 -0700

You know Mad Men is popular when the '60s styles start popping up on the red carpet. Maria Menounos showed up for the premiere of Tropic Thunder last night with a very Supremes-ish hairstyle and makeup to match. Think it's a good look, or is it too stiff?

Which Hair Color Do You Prefer on Maria Menounos?

BellaSugar — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 14:00:22 -0700

Last night at the 2008 Captain Morgan MLB All-Star Week after-party, Maria Menounos arrived with lighter than ever hair. This naturally rich-haired brunette beauty queen (she was crowned Miss Massachusetts Teen USA in 1996) typically keeps her hair dark, but brightens things up a little bit around the crown. Out of both of these looks, which hair color do you feel is the prettiest on this television presenter?

Cargo's Earth Friendly Lipstick

BellaSugar — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 11:21:22 -0700

PlantLove™ Botanical Lipstick by Cargo, $20, is so many different fabulous things all rolled into one. Cargo believes that saving the environment is imperative for protecting our future generations. They are donating two dollars from the profits of every tube of lipstick to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Here's more about the formula and the packaging:

First there is the tube which is made out of corn. This means that it is 100% biodegradable and corn grows back in 100 days, not 100 million years which is what it takes to renew the petroleum that is usually used when made from plastic.
Then there is the box which is made from eco friendly paper that contains seeds. All you have to do is wet the carton, plant it in a sunny place and wait for wildflowers to grow!

Lastly there is the lipstick that contains soothing and nourishing shea butter, jojoba and meadowfoam seed oil. It glides on smooth and is infused with orchid so it smells good! The lipstick also contains no mineral oil or petroleum and is available in 12 shades.
