PopSugar's Beauty Tips For Curly-Haired Girls

BellaSugar — Thu, 15 May 2008 14:00:27 -0700

So many of the Sugar girls have been sharing their favorite beauty tips and tricks. (If you missed any, they're here.) Today's profile is one a lot of you have been waiting for: PopSugar! She's a blue-eyed beauty, and she has tons of tips for curly hair. Read on.

Which beauty products are your must-haves?
Prada lip balm [Bella's note: You have no idea how unhappy Pop was when it was discontinued], Physicians Formula Solar Powder, and Chantecaille concealer. I'm seriously loyal to my haircare products - I've been using Vavoom since I was 13! I love Biolage mousse, Vavoom forming gel, and TIGI Bedhead Control Freak gel.

What’s your favorite beauty ritual?
A long shower, which I know isn’t good for the environment, but I can’t help it.

What’s your go-to lip product?
Can’t express enough how in love I am with this Prada lip balm. I seriously can’t go a day without it.

What is your morning beauty routine?
I'm low-key. I take a nice long shower, throw in my three hair products, moisturize. For my face, I use concealer followed by powder, barely-there eye shadow, and then I must have mascara and lip balm.

What’s your signature fragrance?
It used to be Bob Mackie, then the original Marc Jacobs. But since Katie, I don’t really do perfume anymore. Something about scents when you're pregnant doesn’t mix. Since then I have not loved wearing anything more than a scented lotion.

What’s the best beauty advice you’ve ever received?
Don’t overtweeze your eyebrows - the results can be hazardous. Oh, and never ever cut bangs with my kind of hair.

Any tips or tricks you want to share with readers?
Lots for curly-haired girls! Brush your hair in the shower with conditioner in, but once you're out of the shower, don’t dare brush. Also, let your hair air dry if possible and touch it as little as possible. For more defined curls, put in mousse/gel after the shower while hair is wet then curl sections around your finger. Once they're curled, don’t touch again.

Your favorite drugstore beauty product?
I am surprised how much I like Physicians Formula. I also love Dove soap and Pantene shampoo and conditioner.

When do you feel the most beautiful?
Bella, you'll kill me but it's when I get back from a vacation with my family: relaxed, well rested, and with a healthy, nice tan/glow. Of course I was still wearing SPF the whole time, I swear!

Help Us Choose the PopSugar 100 and Win a Chanel Bag!

Molly — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 07:00:00 -0700

It's time to make the third annual PopSugar 100 List and this time we're mixing things up to make it even more interactive and fun. This year it's single-elimination tournament style with a bracket to help us narrow down to the perfect list. We chose 128 celebrities who we divided into four groups and then ranked from 1-32. The potential PopSugar 100-ers are then paired up in head-to-head matches, at which point you'll all vote on who had the bigger year.

Whoever wins will then proceed to the next round and so on until we have the Sweet 16, Elite 8, Final 4 right down to the single winner. The first round starts today and will last two weeks in which you can vote on each of the first 64 matchups - just click on any pair of names and work your way around the bracket! You can come back at any time and pick up where you left off.

After the round-one winners are determined, each sequential round will last one week coming to a winner at the beginning of June. As if the game wasn't addicting enough, we are giving away an amazingly hot, white Chanel bag to those who play.

You are entered to win with every round you complete - up to seven times the chances of winning! If you miss a round, don't worry, you can still enter to win multiple times. The winner of the almost $3,000 bag will be chosen randomly from the pool of users that completed each round and announced in June around when the new PopSugar 100 list is revealed. You must be logged in to your TeamSugar account in order for your entry to be counted. Log in or register here! Click here for all the rules.

Who will take home the top spot? Will it be Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt again or will there be an upset this time around from one of the younger up-and-comers like Robert Pattinson. Plus, Jennifer Aniston did establish herself as a box-office magnet this year. Now, let's get round one started!
