Nivea Sun-Kissed Beautiful Legs Gradual Tan Moisturizer
I've used this moisturizer for years and I love how it does double-duty. First of all it adds a subtle glow, all while it helps your shave last longer. That's a win-win in my book!
$9.99 at drugstore.com

Jergens natural glow Firming Daily Moisturizer
This great self tanner has an exclusive Firm Perfecting Complex that contains six anti-cellulite ingredients, including collagen, elastin, and ginseng. With each use you'll notice less cellulite and more glow.
$9.99 at walgreens.com

Alba Botanica Golden Tan Sunless Tanning Lotion
Alba's products are made with all-natural ingredients and are safe for all types of skin, especially sensitive ones. This quick absorbing formula won't leave skin feeling greasy and develops a beautiful color in about 3 hours.

Bliss A Tan for All Seasons
Spray on self tanners have become quite popular, partially because of their easy application. Just make sure you spray onto skin in even strokes for the most natural color.
$36 at ulta.com

Philosophy Here Comes the Sun Age-Defense Golden Glow Self-Tanner For Body
I adore Philosophy's products, so checking out their new self tanner was a must. Infused with an amino acid complex it helps firm and tone skin from the inside out.

TanTowel Classic Self-Tan Towelette For Face & Body
The joy of these towelettes is how easy they allow for application of self tanner. And the bonus is they have a refreshing citrus scent, instead of the usual chemical scent most self tanners have.

Star style: Mila Kunis's look for the Ted premiere

June 25, 2012
Mila-Kunis-Ted-Premiere.jpgIt goes without saying that Mila Kunis is a stunning girl. We always love seeing what she does on the red carpet, both fashion and beauty wise. And the premiere of her new movie with Mark Wahlberg, Ted, definitely ranks as one of her best.

We're absolutely loving Mila's smoky eyes, peachy pink lips and super straight, sleek hair. This is a definite win for her on the red carpet--she just knocked it out of the ballpark! None of the elements compete with each other, they all work in perfect harmony and the final result is just effortlessly gorgeous and sexy.

Star style: Copy Emmy Rossum's stylish twist on a braid

June 21, 2012
emmy-rossum-06202012.jpg
The trick to Emmy Rossum's beautiful Critic's Choice Awards hair was in the twist. To copy this style start with wet hair and apply a texturizing spray or cream, like Davines Defining Texturizer. Begin by separating hair into a deep side part and then dry your hair with a dryer. As hair gets more dry, give it volume by breaking it into large sections and drying with a large, round brush. Now that hair is dry you'll need to break your hair into three sections and, pulling them to one side dramatically, twist them loosely. Once you have three distinct twists you'll braid them into each other like a standard braid. Make sure you don't pull the braid too tight, as this look is about being slightly messy. Once half your head of hair is complete, secure it in place with a rubber band. Apply a beachy styling spritz or something like Davines Momo Moisturizing Anti Aging Daily Cream to give ends a bit of oomph and to add mess to the style.

Star style: Emma Stone's gorgeous Jennifer Behr headband

June 20, 2012
Emma-Stone-Jennifer-Behr-Headband.jpgWe're fairly certain Emma Stone can do no wrong on the red carpet. She just keeps knocking it out of the park! And she hit yet another home run at the premiere of The Amazing Spider-Man in Moscow over the weekend, thanks to this gorgeous headband by cult favorite Jennifer Behr.

While Jennifer Behr headbands aren't cheap--this one retails for $298--they are exquisite. The Delicate Laurel Leaf Bandeau, seen on Emma here, is crafted of gold-tone metal that's hand-soldered into tiny leaves, creating an ancient Grecian halo effect.

If you can't stomach spending $300 on a headband, though, here are a few inspired options that won't break the bank!

Charlotte Russe Grecian Leaf Headband, $5.50 at charlotterusse.com
Urban Outfitters Stenciled Leaf Headband, $19 at urbanoutfitters.com
American Eagle Outfitters Leaf Headband, $15.50 at ae.com
