Editor’s note: The Detox Diaries are back! After Carole completed the Benourished juice cleanse (detailed in Part 1, if you missed it), she bravely dived into cleanse #2…
During the window between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, I took on the juice cleanse that started it all: BluePrintCleanse. Based out of New York, it’s perhaps the best-known juice cleanse out there, as celebrities like Olivia Wilde, Blake Lively, and Jessica Szohr have all been spotted carrying BPC’s signature bottles.

I LIVE for the award season after-parties! I really do. Especially at the Oscars, the red carpet bit has become a mostly pleasant but boring parade of Marchesa and peachy makeup and chignons—all totally acceptable, of course, but a bit lacking in terms of beauty entertainment, right? I’m much more drawn to the casualness of the after-party hair and makeup—not that every bit of prep work didn’t also go into achieving it. (It’s an art, I tell you. Don’t you panic every time you get an invitation that says “cocktail chic” or “smart casual” or some other equally vague term that requires extensive Googling?)
It’s no wonder that good stylists are in such high demand in Hollywood. The task at hand: not making the celeb look too formal, like she actually was an Oscars ceremony guest (that would be trying too hard), but nonetheless incredible enough to be photographed right alongside them, as if she could have been there too. Except her hair and makeup get to be waaaay more fun. Yay.com!
So we saw the best, we saw the worst—now, are you ready for more beauty parsing? Here are the attendees, in no particular order (although you will notice that they get progressively worse). PLUS! Two extra-special bonus photos at the end that will make your day. I promise. Keep reading »
People magazine’s annual beauty barometer is out tomorrow, and while the usual suspects (Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry and Scarlett Johansson) are on the list, I’m more interested in the newcomers.
That would be Zoë Saldana, Sofia Vergara, Katy Perry, Amanda Seyfried, Kristen Stewart and Jessica Szohr.
Oh, and some kid with great hair named Justin Bieber. (Maybe you’ve heard of him?)
I’m going to go with Zoë and Amanda as my favourite new faces… but tell me what you think:
