If you've ever wondered what you'd look like with bangs, keep reading. Our editor tests faux fringe at New York City's hottest new hair spot, The Bang Bar

This is a TotalBeauty.com hairstyles article Our New York City beauty editor, Dawn Davis, has wanted bangs all her life. But her round face, curly hair, and beauty advice-giving mother have kept her from taking the plunge. So when the Butterfly Studio Salon opened a "bang bar," she was first in line to set an appointment for professionally styled clip-ins. How does she look with fringe? Check it out now.

Twihards! The event of the century is here with the release of Breaking Dawn Part 2. Or perhaps that was said by the LOTR fans when Return of the King was released.

 Either way I wonder if Kristen Stewart is using St. Ives lotions to keep her pale vampire appearance soft and supple?

Renewing Collagen Elastin Lotion

 

Enjoy the youthful radiance of revitalized skin with this St. Ives Renewing Collagen Elastin Lotion.

*Personally-I agree with the reviews, the original formula should come back because this one is a bit sticky tacky feeling on the skin and never really seems to absorb.

Naturally Smooth Body Lotion

 

 Reveal fresh, younger-looking skin with St. Ives Naturally Smooth Body Lotion. Made with 100% natural moisturizers and citrus-based alpha hydroxies, this non-greasy, dual-action formula goes beyond basic moisture and gently whisks away dullness. Skin is left feeling smoother and looking younger in just 7 days.

*Personally, this lotion is my favorite!

Twilight: vampire makeup, again?

8 Cities in America with the Least Tattoos

Hello gorgeous, I write today after having seen the Twilight movie finally. Yes, I say Twilight not Eclipse. Tonight at the Red Box I'll get the New Moon and I was watching for a few reasons:
1. My hair stylist Star was the last straw on the camel's back telling me about how good it is.
2. I am a longstanding Vampire Lestat fan and don't think that anything could top it
3. I am curious

So with that said I did watch the movie and I did like it. When it comes to the vampire makeup and effect, it's very similiar to the Anne Rice characters shown in the Interview with a Vampire movie starring Tom Cruise as Lestat and Brad Pitt as Louis.

I was thinking I would do a how to video, though there really wasn't much to "how to". It's all pale matte skin and stained lips with contacts for changing eye color. Even Bella is very pale though pretty.

IF you want a how to video, comment and I can get one together using drugstore products. I see that there is this website http://twilightbeauty.com/ where a specific set of colors per character is sold. Anyone using it? What's the texture and pigment load?

Okay, enjoy the beauty bubble and I'll be back at you tomorrow with a New Moon report!

p.s. if you are in AZ, remember we are under heat advisory today for 112, with tomorrow and Friday being 113. Ouch! Double the sunscreen and hydration!

Today, Orpah has the cast from Twilight on, and believe it or not, I haven't seen nor heard nor read one bit about that. But, the photos I've seen have really interesting makeup. Here's a blurb from the Oprah upcoming show:

"They are the hottest stars on the planet—Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Dakota Fanning!"

Now, to continue in my sunscreen quest to find what's good, great and worthy of a purchase I offer up the new Nature's Gate Faceblock in spf 25. I liked it. Light, not greasy, absorbs well, and it is paraben, phtalates, mineral oil, petrolatum and animal derived ingredients free!

If you don't know the Nature's Gate product line, they as a company are intentional about being earth friendly and support ongoing efforst to preserve the earth's natural resources and develop sustainable sources of clean water.

So, yes, I like the product and an even bigger yes, I like what the company is about.
