geeksugar Slips Into Hot Pants (It's Not What You Think)

BellaSugar — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:00:00 -0700

Even though geeksugar is all about natural beauty, she doesn't avoid makeup completely. She recently showed me her latest obsession, and so without further ado, here's her take on it:

"Aside from having way too many cell phones, here's another little known fact about me: I'm obsessed with lip gloss! Yes, I gain great pleasure in finding the perfect gloss that will add shine, shimmer, and subtle color to my lips. This doesn't happen very often, but I just found a lip gloss that is not only glittery goodness through and through, but it has tech appeal as well!

Lip Lust by Hot Pants Cosmetics is juicy, smells so good you want to eat it, and comes with a handy mirror for checking touch-ups - and it has a built-in LED light hidden in the cap!! Geek or nongeek, how great is that?!

Each time you open the gloss, the light will turn on so you can see exactly where to apply your gloss . . . which is so handy for colors with more hue. And let me tell you, I gave it a whirl while out on the town with some girlfriends last weekend, and not only did the ladies stare, but the guys couldn't help but ask about this ingenious invention!

To see why else I absolutely love this gloss, just read more.

Lip Lust also comes with a lip volumizer that doesn't cause your lips to sting, and cottonseed oil to fill lines and add shape to your lips. And for pure moisture and softness, there's soy protein and almond oil so you get that wet look. Glosses come in a variety of fun colors including Tongue-Tied (strawberry pink), Sweet Talker (baby pink) Lush Lips (rich mocha), and Makin' Out (bubble gum pink) and are priced at $19.99 each."

Be Paparazzi Ready With Liparazzi Light-Up Lipstick!

BellaSugar — Mon, 07 Aug 2006 19:45:30 -0700

Liparazzi Lip Gloss and Lip Stick are the newest thing to hit the nightclubs. Their lipstick (so far, only available in five shades) has a mirror in the barrel and dual lights hidden in the cap. You can switch the lights on and off with a twist to re-apply your pout, check your teeth and make sure you look just as FABulous as you feel.

Liparazzi Lip Stick in Groupie

Nina Leykind (Eyeko Cosmetics) came up with this great idea when she was out one night in a dark bar with her good buddy Baby Spice from the former gal group The Spice Girls. Baby asked how she looked when she caught a glimpse of the paparazzi outside. Nina thought to herself:

Liparazzi is the answer. Every girls asks, "Is my lipgloss ok? Are my teeth clean? Can I borrow your mirror" on a night out when the're facing a barrage of paparrazi or not.

Worry no more. Tons of celebs have already been seen wearing Liparazzi because they feel great too. This non-tacky texture made from jojoba, Vitamin E and lanolin to nourish your lips and keep them moist and hydrated. How perfect for approaching the cute guy who has caught your eye on the dance floor.

Liparazzi Lip Gloss in Velvet Rope

You can buy them here and both the gloss and the lipstick sell for $25. Genuius, I tell ya. Finding your lipgloss in your purse has never been easier. And I love their tagline - TESTED ON CELEBRITIES, NOT ANIMALS.

Gorgeously Retro: How to Look Like Uhura on Star Trek

BellaSugar — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 09:00:57 -0700

Though Zoe Saldana made a gorgeous Uhura in the latest Star Trek retread, there's really no replacing the original. Not only is Nichelle Nichols stunning, but her role was a huge barrier-breaker for African-American actresses, and she totally hooked it up with Captain Kirk (under alien mind control, of course). Her look never ceases to be foxy, either, and it's as perfect for Fall 2009 as it was for 1967 - in fact, designers stole a lot of this look for their collections this season. To find out how to get Uhura's intergalactic swingin' 60s look, just keep reading.
