1. I was thinking about visiting a makeup counter at a department store (or perhaps MAC or Sephora) and getting a sales person to show me how to do a natural, everyday look that would just enhance my features. I usually just wear mascara and lip gloss, but I want to add products like brown eyeliner, foundation, and highlighter to my routine.

Which department store brands do you recommend, and which tend to have the most knowledgeable and helpful sales associates?

2. What are the best shampoos/conditioners and hair products to repair and prevent split ends?

Thank you guys! :)

Katy Perry and Russell Brand could be celebrating extra hard this festive season as reports emerge the pair have gotten engaged.

Comedian Russell, 35, is said to have asked singer Katy to marry him during her visit to the UK.

A source said: "They don’t know when the wedding will be but they are planning to make it in 2010 if the schedules can work."

Katy, 25, spent some time with Russell before flying back to the US to celebrate Christmas with her family.

It should give Russell plenty of time to find a ring to give her when they see each other on New Year's Eve.

Madonna has bought a £6 million horse ranch in New York State’s trendy Hamptons.

Madonna, 51, who was badly hurt in a riding accident four years ago, bought 30-acre Wild Ocean Farm from fashion guru Calvin Klein’s ex-wife Kelly.

She is also said to be planning to buy a £1.5 million plot next door and build a ­mansion.

Her spokesman said: "The farm is used to train show horses and Madonna intends to maintain it as a working equine ranch."

The singer is currently in London with her children Lourdes, Mercy, David and Rocco.

The children spent Christmas day with Madonna's ex-husband Guy Ritchie. She was later spotted taking Lourdes and Mercy to visit the Kabbalah Centre on Boxing Day.

StyleList: What inspired your new swimwear line?
Jessica Simpson: My spring collection was inspired by my favorite vacations and the jet-setting getaways I dream about. From the nautical seashores here at home, to hot Havana nights or the bold colors you'd think of in an exotic foreign land, the line is fun and flirty, but still so classic. I'm always inspired by my fans and I want my clothes to be pieces that women feel confident wearing anywhere.

SL: What was the design process like?
JS: It has been so much fun. I worked with my great team and Red Carter -- they really know swimwear. The product looks great and fits so well, which is really important in a swimsuit. My mom is also a huge part of the line. We love working together from inspiration to final product -- we touch each and every item.

Taylor Swift ‘Jealous of Emma Roberts’

Taylor Swift is not a lady to be messed with!

The singer — who recently celebrated her 20th birthday — apparently flew into a jealous rage when she saw Julia Roberts‘ niece Emma Roberts making a play for her hunky beau Taylor Lautner, who stars with both girls in new movie Valentine’s Day.

“Everyone on set could tell Emma was crushing on Taylor’s teenage toyboy — she kept making goo-goo eyes whenever she saw him, even though they have no scenes together,” a source told American tabloid the National Enquirer.

“Then Emma pushed too hard, unexpectedly showing up on-set to watch a love scene between Taylor and Taylor.

“Swift got really creeped out because Emma kept staring at Taylor, so just to show her that the race really does go to the swift, she suddenly kissed her boyfriend like he was the last guy on earth.

“Her kiss was so long and passionate that everyone held their breath, knowing it was an in-your-face warning to Emma that she’d better back off fast.”

2009 Best (and Worst) Beauty Trends


In with a bang! It seemed like every celeb got the memo that bangs were going to be hot again this year, since we spotted them on everyone from Vanessa Hudgens to Keira Knightley to to Jennifer Lopez and Leighton Meester. They didn't keep them for very long, but this one-snip style made for a very dramatic makeover.

Hello, lovelies! Okay, I don't know if I'm using the proper anatomical terms, but I'm looking for pictures of (smallish) tattoos on the back ribs. Kind of underneath the shoulder blades, I suppose. I'm thinking of getting a tattoo here, and I would love some pictures for reference. Thank you!

Pictures of cute girls with big upper arms, but are otherwise slim or of average size? Wearing tank tops/cap sleeves is a plus.
I'm a size 6 or 8 but I have huge upper arms and I'm self conscious about them.

I'm on the hunt for a digital watch that is actually cute. I'm only finding sporty type and old lady watches...help!
