5 Celebrity Inspired Winter Beauty Trends, with Wendy Williams!

This was by far one of the most exciting segments I've done.  Picture this – It's 3pm on Friday afternoon right after Sandy.  I'm checking into a hotel room across the city to indulge in a shower and some heat and I received a call from a producer from the Wendy Williams Show. An hour before I went live the segment was finalized.  That's how it works (sometimes) in live TV.  I love my job.  As soon as I get a clip I'll post it, but here's a link to the information for now and a list of the products used after the jump.  Guys, I had my own green room!

• Straight Hair: Oscar Blandi Dry Styling Heat Protect Spray, $23 at Sephora
• Full Brows: Anastasia Brow Powder Duo, $22 at Sephora
• Bold Liner: Physician's Formula Shimmer Strips Kolh Kajal Eyeliner Trio, $10.95 at Drugstores
• Rosy Cheeks: Urban Decay Afterglow Glide-On Cheek Tint, $24 at Sephora
• Nude Lips: Iman Luxury Moisturizing Lipsticks, $10 at Walgreens & Bite Beauty Luminous Crème Lipstick, $24 at Sephora

Met Gala Approved Beauty Trend: Vampy Lipstick

Tonight at the Met Gala, perhaps one of the most high fashion events of the year, the biggest names in the industry along with Hollywood's most talented walked the red carpet donning their most glamorous attire.  One beauty trend that couldn't go unnoticed was the plethora of dark lipstick that coated the pouts of Jessica Alba, Camilla Belle and Lana Del Rey.  They were all sporting a vampy lip look to compliment their metallic gowns.  Here's how to get the look. Jessica Alba in Michael Kors

Jessica wore a deep red lip that reminded me of one of my favorite color combos from Nars.  To get the look, try Nars Lipstick in Fire Down Below layered over Nars Lipliner in African Queen.

Camilla Belle in Ralph Lauren

Camilla reportedly blended her lip look herself creating a deep burgundy glossy shade that  reads almost black.  Into it?  Try Bite Beauty Luminous Creme Lipstick in Cassis and top it with an even vampier gloss like YSL Black Lip Gloss.

Lana Del Rey in Altuzarra

The mission was to represent her music.  Mission accomplished.  The singer wore a matte, deep, velvet red lip.  Check out Illamasqua Lipstick in Matte Deep Scarlet Red.

Enhance Your Pout & Get Tipsy

According to Bite Beauty, women apply lipstick on an average of five times a day.  Well, if you apply Bite's lipsticks five times per day you may end up wasted.  Just kidding... but if you like red wine as much as I do, this one's for you.

Each of Bite Beauty's new lipsticks contain as much resveratrol as five glasses of red wine.  So no, it won't get you drunk, but it will give your pout a boost of antioxidants.  Because of its benefits, resveratrol is an ingredient that has been used in skincare for the past few years.

The collection includes Luminous Creme Lipstick, High Pigment Pencils, Lip Shine (a gloss), Lip Rouge (my fave), SPF 15 Sheer Lip Balm, a vitamin lip gel and a nourishing super fruit butter.  They range from $18 - $24 and can be found at Sephora.
