The 66th Golden Globe Awards might have come and gone, but getting insider’s tip on celebrity hair for sexy celebs over 35 is ALWAYS welcomed!

When I found out that Beauty Match readers would be able to get some insider’s tips created by Celebrity stylist Robert Vetica created for two gorgeous and glamorous red carpet looks for celebs Salma Hayek and Kyra Sedgwick, I knew that my readers would be excited to learn more about such a master of hair!

If you notice, the hair style at these start studded events can make or break an expensive designer dress. Personally, I was scratching my head when I saw Drew Barrymore and Renee Zellwicker on the red carpet and presenting awards. One looked like a housewife from the 50s who had use way too much holding spray and the other looked like a younger Cruella De Vil (but without the two tone hair)!

If you are going to make any statements on the red carpet, you MUST get the hair right.

***Dr. Berardi shares 5 great tips to help you get in better shape***

I’m a big fan of Dr. John Berardi’s view about healthy eating and weight management. I think these five tips will help a lot of women out there who will set new weight control goals for themselves for this coming year.

Self-monitoring to lose weight by Dr. John M. Berardi, PhD, CSCS

Self-monitoring is simply a fancy term for recording or keeping track of what you do. Several research studies have shown that those people who keep track of their exercise habits have more success than those who don’t.

So how can you use the power of self-monitoring to improve your body? Here are five strategies we use with all our clients.

1. Keep a workout log

1) One way to self-monitor is to keep a workout log. To do this, all you’ll need to do is pick up a notebook and at the beginning of each week, set aside seven pages for the coming week’s workouts.

Robin McGraw is helping her fans live a happier and healthier life!

I know when Robin McGraw is talking about beauty on the Dr. Phil show because my stats go nuts. One year ago I started talking about Robin McGraw (aka wife of Dr. Phil) and I reviewed a few of her favourite beauty products. It took about one hour after posting those original posts to realize how incredibly popular Robin McGraw is among her fans in TV land.

I still think that one of the reasons she’s so popular is because she’s not trying to be someone else and I think people like that about her.

On Tuesday, January 6th, 2009, Robin McGraw joined her husband on stage with a team of beauty expert to once again transform a few fans over 40 (Sheri 47 and Shelly 42) who had let themselves slide to the bottom of the priority list.

She’s Got the Look is looking for models over 35?

Do you remember the 80s supermodel Kim Alexis? She was the blonde with a mole on her left chin. As a young girl and young teenager, I still remember Kim’s face all over the cover of my Vogue magazines as the pretty blonde American model.

A few weeks ago, I was channel surfing trying to get away from the gloom and doom news of the financial markets free falling when I saw this advert for “She’s Got the Look: The modelling competition for women over 35″. I just about died because I thought that Miss Fierce-Tyra-Banks had the monopoly on modelling competitions in TV-land and I thought that the prerequisite 18-year-old-size-zero-girl-with-no-curves was what TV audiences wanted to watch!

My great designer buys on eBay and my misses from J.Crew

Armed with the retailer of choice for First Lady-elect Michelle Obama, I attempted to be more recession-smart and try my hand at shopping online for a few deals.

I hit two major online retailers: eBay and J.Crew. This was my first time buying anything from either retailer and my experience was vastly different from one retailer to the other.

I’m a fairly small dress size, BUT I have long legs, I’m tall, I have a small waist, and I have curves. This makes buying a bit of a nightmare in many cases because it’s quite rare that I can buy something without trying it and I have to try-try-and-try again before finding items that fit because designers cut clothes that fit women who are short and who have the same hip-to-waist ratio.

Have you always wanted to make your New Year’s resolutions come true?

Do you want to make 2009 the best year of your life? Would you like proven tools that can shut out all this bad news about the economy and transform your life?

Do you want to become debt-free, stop smoking, lose weight, discover the career you can feel passionate about or make the changes that actually last? Do you desire a new outlook on your life?

If you want more than you’ve ever had before, you’ll want to see what I have to share with you. But first let me ask you a candid but very important question:

Why has Oprah gained so much weight?

Written by Beauty Match. Posted in Anti Aging Lotion, Celebrity Banter on Beauty & Style, Celebrity Beauty Secrets, Diet Tips over 35, Fit over 35

oprah at 200 lbs
oprah_weight_gain_200_pounds_again

On January 5th, 2009 Queen Oprah will launch a new segment called “Your Best Life” and she’ll explore weight, health, spirituality, money and sex. I have no doubt that we’ll be greeted by some of her favourite experts like Dr. Mehmet Oz.

For her weight segment, I’m sure the hot topic du jour is her recent admission that she’s gained a staggering 40 lbs!

In 2005, Oprah weighed a slim 160 lbs, but she’s gained a lot of weight and now she’s going to invite all of America (and the world) go get back on the program after they’ve “fallen off of the wagon” like she has.

Ellen DeGeneres is the new face of Cover Girl Simply Ageless!!!

Written by Beauty Match. Posted in Anti Aging Research, Beauty & Style on the Tube, Beauty at Any Age, Celebrity Beauty Secrets

***I’ve included a short clip from Ellen’s show where she talks about the shooting of the CoverGirl advert at the end of this post***

This is really BIG news! Ellen is the new face of Cover Girl’s newest line of anti-aging products.

As a new generation of anti-aging makeup, Simply Ageless stays suspended over fine lines and wrinkles, making them look less noticeable and providing beautifully flawless-looking skin. It’s been formulated with Olay’s Regenerist serum!  And the new age-defying foundation has been clinically shown to positively impact the healthy look of the skin for improved skin appearance over time.

The secret behind CoverGirl and Olay Simply Ageless Foundation is a solid emulsion technology that allows the foundation to stay suspended over skin’s imperfections.  As it is applied, the unique Simply Ageless formula works with the skin’s temperature to transform the foundation from a cream to a liquid on contact.  The liquid then forms an “invisible suspension system” that floats over the surface without gathering in lines, making imperfections seem to virtually disappear.  The CoverGirl and Olay formulas work together to balance skin’s textural and colour variations in order to provide a smooth, even-looking finish.

Would you like to look like Michelle Pfeiffer, Madonna, Angelina Jolie AND Demi Moore?

I think we’ve all done it once: look admiringly at the face of our favourite female Hollywood celebs and hope that we either had “that” nose or “those” cheekbones or “that mouth”. I’ve spoken to so many cosmetic surgeons who have said that clients routinely show up at their office with a photo of a Hollywood celeb in the hopes of looking that perfect.

The same happens when we go running to our hair stylist with Katie Holmes’ new bob or Jennifer Aniston’s new shade of highlights or even Jennifer Lopez’s new updo!

The problem is that we often forget that the reason why Angelina’s lips look good on her is because they work with her face structure and Katie Holmes’ bob rocks because of the angle of her face. When you transpose features … it doesn’t always look good because features are meant to work as an overall … so if you “move” Angelina Jolie’s lips onto your face … it won’t look as good … something will be wrong.

Ladies, you can get jewellery seen on Lipstick Jungle at the SeenON boutique!

The only thing I like more than watching Lipstick Jungle is talking about how much I like watching Lipstick Jungle.

I’ve reviewed the many reasons why the Lipstick Jungle style and fashion keepsme glued to my telly on Friday nights.

I wanted to remind my readers that the Lipstick Jungle Boutique on SeenOn.com has tones of the beautiful jewellery featured on Lipstick Jungle episodes and I just had to share this with other fans of the Lipstick Jungle show.

My favourite Lipstick Jungle fashion moments of the year!

I have to say that Lipstick Jungle has had the biggest fashion impact on me since Sex and the City. The difference between the two shows is the fact that I can actually see myself wearing many of the fashion and accessories featured on Lipstick Jungle, while Sex and the City was more of a “I cannot believe she’s wearing this” reaction.

I will admit to having many fantasies about walking in 4 or 5 inch designer shoes thanks to the ladies of Sex and the City, but since I’m already quite tall and I walk so ungracefully with anything higher than 2 inches, I’ve used the show’s influence to really take my accessories to another level because Patricia Field (the show’s stylist extraordinaire) has really showed us all how bold accessories can “make” any outfit.

Take a break from all this recession news!

I had always made it a policy of mine to avoid news (especially late night news) at all cost. I’ll focus on certain areas I want to keep updated about and just close the door to the rest because I’ve always found news incredibly depressing.

Since early October 2008, it’s IMPOSSIBLE to get away from all this gloom and doom recessionary-deflationary-great-depression-of-our-time talk that reporters have been feeding us 24/7.

Is there such a thing as the Desperate Housewives diet or the Desperate Housewives weight-loss disease?

It’s true that nothing from Hollywood would surprise me anymore. I surely know that after reviewing the “baby food diet” in my last post from my new favourite British series on weight and diet “SuperSize vs SuperSkinny”, anything goes in Hollywood when it comes to staying as slim as possible in front of the camera.

It’s true that it’s easy for me to judge since I don’t have agonize over the fact that most people in North America are watching HDTV now, which is unkind to any signs of aging or “imperfections”, but it’s still mind-blowing to hear how many celebs under-eat and how many women avoid carbs.

Julia Ormond’s beauty and fitness tips

It’s true that we’ve not seen Julia Ormond for a while now on film. If the name might not ring a bell, I’m sure that describing Julia as the leading lady with the AMAZING hair in the Legends of The Fall alongside Brad Pitt might help!

On camera she’s always portraying a girly-girl … especially in her role as “Sabrina” alongside Harrison Ford, but in real life Julia Ormond is a self-proclaimed tomboy who is more comfortable in jeans and a T-shirt than in a gown.
