Tru Renewal Skincare by Ramona Singer of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New York City

If you love watching The Real Housewives of New York City on Bravo like myself, and Ramona Singer is your favorite housewife you might want to learn about her skincare line: Tru Renewal by Ramona.

Ramona Singer is a strong and an independent business woman who has a bit of a hutzpa and doesn’t afraid to speak her mind. Since Ramona Singer, and needless to say her husband Mario, are so good looking I’m very curious to find out if it is all to do with great genes, or is it Tru Renwal.

“Now that the product is done (Tru Renewal), I cannot begin to tell you how thrilled I am with the outcome; I finally found a product that works!!! After using the product for 6 weeks all of my friends and doctors have noticed a difference in my skin. My skin looks and feels healthier; it is more vibrant and glowing.”-Ramona Singer.

MAC A Rose Romance Swatches

On my recent trip to New York Fashion Week Fall 2009 I had the luxury to receive blank face charts courtesy of MAC Cosmetics. These face charts are used by MAC lead makeup artists to demonstrate the runway makeup looks for the designer’s fashion show. Since many of you love to see makeup swatches before you go purchase your makeup, I’ve decide to give these MAC face charts a good use.

I have the video and the images:

Hairstyle: Jessica Alba Bangs or no Bangs?

Jessica Alba showed up on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno last week with a new hairstyle which I don’t mind, bangs.

Bangs are hard to pull off. Certain face structures seem to work better with bangs than others. Jessica Alba is looking smashing with her new hairstyle: bangs and blonde highlights. I even like the length. I’m starting to like shorter hairstyles, they look very elegant and sophisticated.

This is the question: Which hairstyle looks better on Jessica Alba bangs or no bangs?

Paris Hilton Still Hot or Not?

It used to be about 6 years ago Paris Hilton was one of the most talked about and photographed celebrity. Something about a very rich and wild blonde heiress in her early 20’s was very intriguing. But, is this the case today?

Is Paris Hilton still hot or not? Or do we care at all:)

I do however love Paris Hilton’s hair and even her headband, very roaring 20’s!
