08.15.10Justified. Stripped.Yesterday I wrote about Christina Aguilera's 3 Summer Looks. As I was reading some of the comments this morning, I remembered that Christina briefly had black hair when she was on the Justified/Stripped Tour with Justin Timberlake back in 2003! Remember? Back when Christina was "Xtina" and she was so "Dirrty". Also, apparently really into spray tan! I just had to post these for old times' sake! :) P.S. I promise to stop posting about Christina now! If this is someone's first time on HOTB, I swear this is not a blog about C.Aguilera...

06.05.10St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing SprayI love St. Tropez products for self tanning. In particular, I'm totally devoted to St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse. That stuff is AMAZING. It gives great color, no streaking, and no weird smell. Plus, it's easy to apply. It soaks right in and unlike bronzing lotions, it doesn't "sit" on top of your skin and feel weird. I use it after I exfoliate (try St. Tropez Body Polish) and shave my legs. I dry off really well and only moisturize dry areas like elbows, knees, and feet. Then I just apply a few pump of the Bronzing Mousse and ...

05.08.10How To: Protect Yourself From Summer SunIt's totally summer here in Los Angeles. It's hot and sunny everyday! I love it, but my fair skin does not. When I was a teenage, I laid out everyday I could. Between summer jobs and random overcast Midwestern summer days, I'd eek out a solid tan. That saddens me to say now because, dude, wrinkles, skin cancer! Now I know better, and you do too, right? Right? Shield yourself from the sun's rays by following these helpful tips from Women’s Health. Protect From Inside Out - Sun damage causes free radicals, which all edible antioxidants fight. Your best bites are ...

04.10.10St. Tropez Instant Glow FaceIt's a cool, overcast Saturday in LA, but I know we're not going to have too many more of these since summer is coming. Pretty soon my pale skin is going to start seeming like a fashion statement unless I warm it up with some bronzer. (Oh, to achieve Eva Mendes' skin tone. So gorgeous.) I discovered St. Tropez self tanners and bronzers last year, and they've been my favorite ever since. I recently tried out their Wash Off Instant Glow Face. It's a tinted facial lotion that gives an all over bronze glow to the face, without the commitment of ...

02.10.10Bad Tan BradAs HOTB commenter Chris already pointed out, Bradley Cooper showed up on the red carpet of Valentine's Day with a serious two-toned tan. Mystic Tan Founder, Ricky Croft, has a few suggestions for how Bradley can avoided this man tan misstep in the future... The Art of Shaving: “Avoid hairy situations by shaving the night before any tanning session,” says Ricky. “Shaving closes the cells and makes skin very tight, therefore making skin unsusceptible to absorbing the tanner, waiting overnight will help the tan reach its potential.” Fresh 'n Clean: “Clean, freshly washed skin is the first step to a good tan,” ...

02.09.10How To: St. Tropez GlowThis winter feels like it's dragging on and on--and I live in Los Angeles! I can't image how the rest of you guys feel... One of the best ways to get out of the winter slump is to go on a tropical vacation. But if you can't afford that, slather on some St. Tropez self tanner and just look like you went on a tropical vacation instead. St. Tropez will bring your skin from looking pasty and dry to glowy and gorgeous. Their products are easy to use and give you a natural looking tan that doesn’t leave you smelling ...

10.21.09Jan Marini C-Esta Cleansing Gel & Bioglycolic Resurfacing Body ScrubJan Marini skincare products are amazing. I've used various products from the line for years. I recently had the opportunity to try out editorial samples of the Jan Marini C-Esta Cleansing Gel. Actually, I put a tube of it in the shower and since my BF was complaining about a minor break out (while exclaiming: I don't get zits!) I decided to be kind and share my coveted skincare tricks with him. Use this, I said, and you won't get zits. Well, that was a few weeks ago and today I asked him if he was indeed using it. Occasionally boys ...

10.13.09Style SirenKim Kardashian was at the Hollywood Life's 6th Annual Hollywood Style Awards, natch. Kim kept it simple with a white dress, but played up the look with accessories and a lot of makeup. Kim received the award for Style Siren and Kelly Osbourne, won for Style Original. Both picked up items from Express such as multi chain gold necklaces and bib earrings. By the way, I've been wondering what's going on with Kelly Osbourne's hair. Can't someone cut it into a pixie for her? Because that would be cute, but as it is, it looks like a bowl cut and it's ...
