    akAngela Kinsey from one of the funniest sbows on TV, The Office, knows how to work the red carpet. She also knows how to get ready in a pinch when time is a ticking! We got our hands on her top beauty tips:

    1. Pick a light-colored nail polish for your manicure—not only does it dry faster, but if it chips before the big night, it’s less noticeable. Try and do your nails the day before so wet nails won’t be an issue on event night. (I always abide by this. Nothing worse than bright red chipped nail polish.)

    2. Skip the false lashes and try a great lengthening mascara like CoverGirl LashBlast Length.

    3. Choose a long lasting lip color—only one application and it lasts the whole night, all you need is a glossy touch up! (I’ve been wanting to try a lip tint…heard it stays on all day)

    4. Make sure your roots are kept at bay – for busy gals like myself, try coloring your hair at-home with Nice ‘n Easy the week of the event to brighten your look and ensure shiny color.

    5. EAT! On event day, choose something light but filling so you’ll still feel like your fabulous self when you get into your evening attire.

    Can you believe it, I missed the Golden Globes this year! I didn’t even remember to set my DVR. I’ve had to do my fair share of catching up on which hairstyles ruled the red carpet. According to one of my favorite sites, NaturallyCurly.com, loose waves won the popularity contest. Celebrities including Sandra Bullock, Drew Barrymore and Julia Roberts all walked the red carpet sporting gorgeous, loose ringlets.

    “Actress Rose Bryne definitely wins the best curl award,” said Michelle Breyer, co-founder of NaturallyCurly.com. “Her delicate waves were classic with a modern twist.” We hear that Harry Josh at John Frieda styled her locks!

    Other favorites from the night include Zoe Saldana, Evangeline Lilly, Drew Barrymore, Samantha Harris and Renee Zellweger. Want to achieve similar curls yourself? NaturallyCurly.com suggests trying the Curltini™ Curly Cocktail, which includes:

    • Curlisto Bio-Gel Mousse – Works as a conditioning styler and gives your hair added moisture to keep it healthy all year long.

    • Curl Friends Seduce Pomade – Helps keep your hair silky smooth and eliminates fly- aways and frizz on those hot, humid days.
    • 8.75’ Long Wide-Toothed Shower Comb

    SelenaGmy new hair

    I had a hair breakdown last week. I called my favorite hairstylist to see if she could fit me in for a haircut before I left for vacation but she was booked! I wanted to chop it all off – every last strand. Not pull a Britney, but pretty close. So I started browsing the web for hairstyles I really like. I needed a change – something new and sleek and sophisticated. I hate to say it, but not so big.

    I found a couple pics of Selena Gomez, ya know…from Disney? I think she’s like 10 years younger than me but who cares! She has great hair and she is always changing up her look.

    In the middle of my breakdown I went to a salon near my house that was highly recommended by a friend, Muse. I explained my hair troubles to the stylist  and instead of talking me out of it, she was all for it! Get rid of all the excess hair baggage and start 2010 fresh. She actually wanted me to go shorter but I just couldn’t do it.

    So here I am! I cut off 4 inches! Ah! The most I have ever cut and I really love my new look. The trick now is trying to recreate this look at home, without the help of a professional. And figure out how to wear this cut curly.

    I’ll be doing a lot of research on new products and tips – so stay tuned! 2010 here we come!!

    Photo courtesy of people.com Despite Emma Roberts and other celebs going lighter in the winter, there are some that still stick to the old ways.

    Nicole Richie has decided to go dark. It has been years since we saw the momma with anything but blonde hair and she looks great.

    According to Nicole, she hasn’t been able to play with her hair color over the past couple of years due to her being pregnant and nursing her two beautiful children. She was sick of being a blonde and jokes that she feels smarter already.

    What do you think? Maybe brunettes have all the fun..

    image001Lighter in the summer, darker in the winter…right? Not so much! Just check out Emma Roberts lightening up her locks.

    According to celebrity hairstylist, Philip Pelusi, “ Honey hair is a great option this winter.  The color compliments most skin tones and also compliments this years hot colors like purple, dark green and auburn. I must warn ladies that want to try this trend that if your going two shades different than your natural hair, please see a professional.”

    Shakira sported an interesting ‘do last night in London for Capitol FM’s 2009 Jingle Bell Ball – half-head cornrows. Very rocker chic! We’ve actually seen other celebs sport this look like Dannii Minogue and Ashanti. Do we smell a new trend?

    Twi-hards are upon us. In lieu of this Friday’s opening date, it will be hard to turn your head without seeing some form of New Moon mania. 

    The gang has been making their worldwide rounds promoting their new film and I can’t imagine how hard it has to be maintaining red-carpet ready hair at all times. Kristen Stewart seems to be doing a good job at this. She was wearing her normally super short locks in a longer way for Monday night’s big premiere in LA.

    I personally love her no matter what she does because she isn’t afraid to take risks and she has a pretty nonchalant attitude about what people think of her. Self confidence is always sexy.

    Bellasugar.com has 5 easy steps to help you recreate this look. Click here for the full story. 

    P.S. I’m on Team Edward!

    A new ‘do for a new job! Ashlee Simpson traded auburn for black for her new role on Broadway playing Roxie Hart in Chicago. Her long fringe bangs are very in style; however, looks like Ashlee could use a little trim. Her bangs would drive me crazy!
