Nom Nom Nom, Nars Nars Nars

If you think this makeup looks good enough to eat, that's because it is. Miami Beach-based Dots Treats created these adorable cupcakes for a Nars event at Neiman Marcus, and they're pretty much the cutest cupcakes I've seen all year.

I spy a duo eye shadow in Rated R, single eye shadow in Party Monster, and blush in Orgasm. Though, to be honest, I'd rather gobble these sweets than worry about their precise inspiration.

Which Is More Expensive?

BellaSugar — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 12:00:23 -0700

No matter how many times I see a caviar night cream or a diamond-encrusted lip gloss, I still experience sticker shock. Of course, there are an abundance of beauty items that don't cost and arm and a leg, and for that I am grateful. But when it comes to the asking price of the following beauty items compared to price tags of some similar-sounding products, can you guess which ones are more expensive? (And can you guess how much I am fantasizing about this coconut cupcake, too?)

Booby Prizes: 9 Wacky Bust-Building Products

BellaSugar — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 09:00:03 -0700

Of all the teen-mag advice I read back in the day, one bit stands out as an unwavering truth: there's no magic pill to change the size of your bustline. But don't tell that to the makers of these items. These odd snacks, creams, and drinks promise to turn tangerines to cantaloupes, molehills into mountains, cupcakes into, uh, larger cakes. Do they work? I wouldn't hold my breast. Er, breath. But for a laugh, yes, they certainly work.

We are so thrilled to announce that Sugar user carriefrances will be joining us tomorrow night at the Sugar exclusive screening of Sex and the City! The longtime user is a HUGE SATC fan, and we could not be more excited to meet her and shower her with gifts and a fabulous party among friends.

Carriefrances will be getting goodies from SATC sponsors like Vitaminwater, Swarovski, Mercedes-Benz, Bacardi Mango Mojito, SKYY Vodka, and SJP’s Lovely fragrance. Many attending the screening will also get a t-shirt from SJP's Bitten line from Steve and Barry's. The party will include prizes and drinks from the sponsors above, as well as Lotus Vodka Cosmos, wine from Ecco Domani, and yummy Kara's cupcakes for dessert. Obviously we are counting down the minutes until we can watch these four ladies on the big screen, but we'd like to thank all of you who entered the contest and attend the event. Hopefully there will be many more Sugar soirees in the future.

If you're like me, the most exciting thing you have planned for tonight is a soak in the tub. Woo! But if you're looking for something more scintillating and thrilling, boy, do I have the goods for you: the BellaSugar reader survey! Hundreds of you have already filled it out to share your opinions, so thank you. If I could hand-deliver cupcakes to all of you, I would.

If you haven't taken the survey yet, I hope you will take a few minutes to fill it out and tell me about yourself-what you like, what you don't like, and what you'd like to see on BellaSugar. Think of it like the census, except, well, it's a fun survey about beauty. Thanks so much!

Backstage Beauty: Alice + Olivia

Earlier this week, Fab reviewed the Alice + Olivia spring line, while Yum reported on the yummy cupcakes that were served. And now I've got the scoop on the models' hair.

The theme of the show was Alice in Wonderland, and it was held at the NYC boutique as opposed to a ballroom or the Bryant Park Tents. How quaint! Just so that you feel like you've really experienced this event, I've just recently gotten all of the information on how the wonderful (and I'm not just saying that because he's my hairdresser), Fabrice Gili from the Frederic Fekkai Salon in Soho, who styled all of the models' hair.

Step 1: Apply Fekkai Coiff Bouffant Lifting and Texturizing Spray Gel generously to the hair to give it a light hold.
Step 2: Next, blow dry hair very straight and apply a cold shot of air to reduce frizz.
Step 3: Finally, since bangs are blunt cut and full, use a round brush to give them volume at the roots and then go over them with your dryer using a paddle brush to ensure they lie flat. Finish by Spraying Fekkai Coiff Fini Sheer Hold Hairspray for added hold and shine.
