Lint Sheets A Go Go

BellaSugar — Wed, 04 Apr 2007 07:12:22 -0700

New from Scotch, (you know the tape brand), is this super cool 3M Scotch Lint Sheets Pocket Pack, $2.79. What they do is keep lint, dust and all of those not so fab fuzzy pills away from your couture! These are must haves for the red carpet or for any big moment where you need to make a great first impression.

The best part about them is they are really small so that they easily fit right into your handbag, office desk drawer etc. The idea was to make them more chic than the traditional lint tape rolls you keep stashed in your closet at home. These neat sheets are for the gal on the go; the busy woman who loves dressing in fabulous blacks or if you're just a lint freak like Fab. Now she can live fearless and lint free! They come in two different thin travel case styles: black and modern floral. Each pack contains 40 strips that can be used multiple times. Enjoy!

An Easy Way to Wear Glitter, Courtesy of Katy Perry

Leave it to Katy Perry to sparkle on the MTV Video Music Awards red carpet. (What, you thought she'd show up looking subdued?) Her dazzling eye makeup created maximum drama, but by pairing it with matte lipstick colors (coral for the red carpet, red for the performance) and soft pink blush, makeup artist Jake Bailey kept things from looking too Xanadu. Want to make a commitment to sparkle motion by mimicking Katy's look? Well then, just keep reading.

Oh Man: Guys Are Being Groomed for Barber Lounges

The term "metrosexual" was just a blip on the cultural radar, but the business of men's grooming is far from a fad. Some guys will always opt for a trip to the simple, no-fuss barber. My dad, for instance, pays a whopping $7 to have his "ears lowered," as he puts it. Works just fine for him.

But for a certain breed of man-urban, well-paid and trendsetting-Supercuts won't do it. Instead, this kind of guy is heading to men-only spas and salons. These places cater to the modern-gentleman type who knows how to make a martini, reads GQ, and so forth. And the perks sound fantastic. For instance:

At the rockabilly-inspired Belmont Barber Shop in Chicago, guys can shoot a game of pool after their shave.
At Los Angeles spa Mark Matthew, men are ushered into an area that looks more like a swank living room than a spa. Leather chairs, flat-screen TVs and complimentary beer, wine or scotch create a gentlemanly environment.
Shown here, MR in San Francisco offers a $65 monthly membership that includes a haircut, a touch-up, a shoe shine, and a drink at the bar. (Yes, there's a bar.)

Of course, there are dozens of other options all over the country, but these three give a good idea of what's out there. Something tells me that more than a few dudes wouldn't mind getting a gift certificate to one of these places. Even Papa Bella might
go in for a manly manicure if he were able to watch the Bears while doing it. Okay, maybe not. But I think he's the exception, not the rule.
