Just when we were ready to put Ombré to bed, Drew Barrymore has gone and resurrected it. I’m not sure how I feel about this because as you know, I said it was over months ago (when I ditched my blah brown Ombré for a strawberry blonde-tastic double-process ‘do). Maybe I need to reconsider.
And that’s not all that’s happening in beauty this week. Movember is in full force, the Country Music Awards happened, Adriana Lima revealed how she gets in shape for a Victoria’s Secret fashion show, Gwyneth Paltrow has a makeup tutorial… and I decided there ARE some exceptions to my anti-nail art stance.

Whoa… what’s up with all the weird hair, Hollywood? In the past week or so, a whole bunch of celebs collectively decided to get a little crazy with the dye—and I’m talking the BLUE and PINK kind of crazy. The only explanation I can think of, even though I don’t really believe in astrology, is that there’s a Mercury Retrograde going on right now and it’s working its voodoo.

I have to think so.)
Not that blue or pink hair is necessarily terrible, when it’s done right. Oh yes, I actually do approve of this look in a couple of instances. (Although you won’t catch me sporting any of it, obviously.) That said, every new beauty triumph comes with its fair share of tragedies… so let’s analyze who gets a gold star and who gets a big fat FAIL. Keep reading »
Holy hair dye! Did you see this one coming? Blake Lively debuted some red-hot new locks at the Time 100 Most Influential People party the other night, joining Drew Barrymore—who went over to the fiery side a few weeks back—as well as a very long list of celebs who’ve dabbled in the colour over the years (most recently, think: Emma Stone, Hillary Duff and Khloé Kardashian).
Now I’m officially on Red Hair Watch, because clearly there is something in the air, dontcha think? (Or maybe it’s just because I, too, recently went for a strawberry-ish hue inspired by Scarlett Johansson circa 2008.)
Anyway, whenever a celeb makes a radical hair transformation, it demands our attention, so let’s compare and contrast—and then I wanna hear who YOU think wears red best. Keep reading »
