Teen heartthrob Justin Bieber is joining the celebrity beauty endorsement craze by stepping in as the new face of Proactiv.
Sixteen year old Justin Bieber is promoting the skin care product in a new commercial. His commercial shows Justin Bieber being a ‘regular’ teen with ‘regular’ skin care problems like acne. He’s fooling around with his friends and playing basketball and washing his face to prevent acne.
Justin Bieber joins a list of young celebrities who have all smiled and showed off their skin for Proactiv. Katy Perry, Avril Lavigne, and Julianne Hough have all been Proactiv spokespeople at one time or another.
The skin care company is probably hoping that all of the young girls will want Proactiv because Justin Bieber uses it and the young boys will want it to get the girls who love him.
At Real Style Network beauty, we try a lot of different products. Like most people, we assume that our beauty products are safe to use. Why else would they sell them for us to use, right? After reading this beauty news story, we are thinking a little harder about the beauty, makeup and skin care products we use every day.
The report on beauty products shows that while known dangerous ingredients are banned in beauty products, there are still some that are making it in. Apparently only 13 per cent of beauty ingredients have been tested. With over 80,000 ingredients used, that leaves a lot of unknown territory.
So how can you keep yourself safe? Fortunately there are also tips to go along with the scary idea of using unknown ingredients on your body.
The tips to finding safe beauty products are: use less products (keeping exposure to a minimum), read the label on everything, use fragrance-free products, and try not to use products that have higher risks that may have more dangerous ingredients. These higher risk products are dark hair dye, nail polish, and powders.
We aren’t going to stop using these beauty products, but trying to keep yourself aware of what you are using is always wise. You wouldn’t eat food without knowing it was safe, so don’t use questionable beauty products either.
Makeup company Lancome is getting a designer look for the 2010 holiday season. Stylist and model L’Wren Scott is putting her own touch on the Lancome holiday makeup collection.
Since L’Wren Scott has worked with some of the most fashionable Hollywood stars from Madonna to Sarah Jessica Parker, so we are confident that her touch on the Lancome makeup will be a good one. She said her inspiration for the makeup line came from the red lip look, which is her signature.
The L’Wren Scott for Lancome makeup collection will feature red lip stick, lip glass and nail polish. Grey will also be a featured colour in the beauty line. Grey is of our favourite fall beauty trends, so we are already excited about this line.
The beauty line will be available in November. The Holiday makeup will be on sale for $14.50 to $42.00.
In just a short while, the world will once again be able to capture the scent of Canadian pop star Avril Lavigne. Avril’s new fragrance, Forbidden Rose, will hit Kohl’s stores very soon.
Images of the new fragrance show that Avril Lavigne has definitely added her persona to the packaging. The purple fragrance comes in a star shaped glass bottle with a black rose top and barbed wire trim. It will instantly appeal to all of Avril Lavigne’s young ‘edgy’ fan girls. The fragrance is described as a more mature fruity smell.
Avril Lavigne says in interviews that she was very involved with the process of the fragrance right down to the imaging and font on the packaging.
This will be Avril’s second celebrity fragrance. Her first fragrance, Black Star, was released back in 2009.
As the resident Real Style Beauty Product tester or otherwise affectionately known as the Beauty Guinea Pig (BGP), I get to test out the hottest beauty products on the market and I LOVE it !
Today my beauty review is on MorocanOil Hair Glimmer Shine Spray! MoroccanOil is one of the hottest new hair care products around. Everyone is talking about it and all of the celebs are using it. So when their package arrived, I exercised my rights as the BGP and jumped at the chance to test the product on my wavy to curly, often frizzy, highlighted and very dry end of summer hair!
Since I have tried the original MoroccanOil before and loved it as it smoothed down and moisturized my hair without making it feel greasy, I was eager to try another one of their products! I tried out the MoroccanOil Glimmer Shine Spray to see if it was up to the same high standard.
The MorocanOil Glimmer Shine Spray claims to give your hair a brilliant shine, enhance your highlights and protect it from the elements.
I’m happy to report that The MoroccanOil spray does exactly what it claims. I was actually getting compliments on how shiny my hair looked. You can see the difference almost immediately.
Nevertheless there were some drawbacks. The hair care product did leave my hair feeling a little bit greasy and it did not stop flyaway hair or frizz. I still had to use all of my other regular products before this. So while it does do it’s job, it seems a little redundant. If MoroccanOil could combine the shine secrets with their others hair smoothing products then it would really be worth it. I haven’t tried the hair glimmer shine spray with the actual oil yet. I will follow up with an addendum to let you know if that combination did the trick or if it left the hair too oily!
A new foundation from Lancome is expected to change the way you think about makeup. The new Teint Miracle Foundation is said to be the lightest and most natural looking foundation available, which could change the way beauty products are made.
This is big hype for any makeup, but L’Oreal the makers of Lancome put a lot of thought into the new makeup. The beauty company studied and questioned women around the world on their beauty needs. They took all that research back to their beauty labs and came out with Teint Miracle Foundation.
Without getting into the specific science of it all, the new Lancome foundation is said to mimic the natural light and radiance of your skin at it’s best. It will give you the look of perfect skin at all times. The makeup also has four times more water than the regular Lancome foundation making it feel lightweight. Of course it also includes SPF15 and moisturizer.
Lancome is launching their new foundation around the world in November and they expect women to see the difference. While the idea is great, these are big claims by a beauty comapny. At $37 a bottle, we are cautious to believe this makeup is the miracle product. We want to believe it is though.
A new commercial from Dove has offended some women over the way the skin care company is portraying women. Now we all know Dove celebrates women of all ages, shapes and sizes. They broke boundaries with their Campaign For Real Beauty by showing average women celebrating their skin and bodies. Some are saying the new Dove commercial has taken the skin care company in the complete opposite direction.
The Dove soap commercial is a Mad Men parody, so you can imagine the setting. A couple of men in a boardroom discussing how to best promote Dove soap to women. The cute secretary comes in and overhears the men. She apologizes for speaking out of turn and gives the men advice on how Dove soap feels to her. The guys of course take her advice and congratulate themselves on a job well done.
Some women are outraged at the ad calling it sexist. They don’t think that just because Mad Men is popular, Dove has the right to portray women that way.
Unilever, the makers of Dove, say the ads are supposed to be light and funny and aren’t to be taken seriously. They actually have plans to spotlight a number of their other brands including Suave and Vaseline in the same type of ads.
Watch the new Dove soap Mad Men ad here and judge for yourself whether they went too far.
As a part of our Real Style Network beauty giveaway, we have tried a lot of new beauty products to make sure we are giving you the best. One of the beauty grabs we found was the new lipstick from The Body Shop, their Delipscious Sheer Lip Colour.
I tested out the Sheer Lip Colour in their Candy shade. When I put on the lip colour, I was surprised at how well the colour matched my own natural lip colour. The lip colour didn’t give me a bold look or even a splash of colour. Instead it naturally enhanced my lips without making it obvious that I was wearing any lipstick.
I found The Body Shop lip colour to be smooth and soft on my lips. I couldn’t help but keep rubbing my lips together to feel how soft they were. They felt kissable! I loved the faint hint of a Candy smell on the lip colour that I got when I applied it.
This isn’t a lipstick I would wear to an event, because it just doesn’t give enough colour. It is perfect for a day look or when you are going for the natural makeup appearance.
We are giving away The Body Shop’s Delipscious Sheer Lip Colour with our beauty giveaway. To get your own enter our contest now.

Looking for a bolder lipstick? Makeup company Make Up For Ever has created a new lipstick that is said to give you a more intense colour.

Dolce & Gabbana have released their new fall 2010 makeup line, Sicilian Lace. The fashion designer makeup is created with a range of bronze shades for a natural look.

For our latest beauty review, one of our Real Style Beauty testers took a chance with the Got2b Got2b Fat-tastic Instant Infusion Collagen Root Boosting Spray to give her hair care routine a lift. Our tester has fine, thin hair that sometimes needs a boost of volume to create the perfect hair style, so this product is right up her alley.
As soon as she went to use it she noticed one big issue with this Got2b product. There is little to no instructions on how to use the hair care product properly. All hair care products have a different application process whether it’s in wet hair, towel dry or dry to ensure you get the most out of it. The Got2b hair care product left our tester stumped and to her own devices.
Once she decided how to use the Root Boosting Spray, she was pleased with the results. Her hair got volume and lift without being left too crunchy.
She told us one of the biggest problems with most sprays claiming to give your hair volume is that the sprays are too heavy. Most sprays weight down her thin hair defeating the purpose. The Got2b hair spray is light and left her hair with volume and style.
If you are looking for a boost for your hair, she said she would definitely recommend this product to anyone who has the same flat hair problem as she does.
Today Giorgio Armani makeup is getting a new sultry celebrity beauty to front their fall campaign. Armani announced this morning that Megan Fox is the face of Giorgio Armani Cosmetics.
It shouldn’t be much of a surprise that the fashion brand chose Megan Fox to head the makeup advertisements. Megan Fox is already the face of Emporio Armani underwear and Armani Jeans. The sexy Emporio Armani underwear ads took the internet by storm when they were released. Everyone needed to see Megan Fox’s hot pictures. We expect nothing less from her Giorgio Armani makeup images.
Armani said in beauty news interview they wanted her sensual femininity for their makeup campaign.
Men will have to wait until the images are revealed in October to see what Megan Fox does this time.
Sometimes the beauty blog needs to stop and take a look at the good beauty companies are doing around the world. The Body Shop along with a number of celebrities are joining forces to fight sex trafficking around the world through a new campaign.
Susan Saradon, Uma Thurman, Yoko Ono and Sienna Miller have all joined the beauty company to open The Body Shop’s Stop Sex Trafficking Campaign. The celebrities have created hand traces for signs in The Body Shop stores to promote their petition. You can sign the Stop Sex Trafficking petition either in store or on The Body Shop’s new website.
The Body Shop is also donating money to a number of charities. So far the beauty store has raised $1.5 million through sales of their Stop Sex Trafficking Bag for Life and Soft Hands Kind Heart Hand Cream.
If you take your beauty cues from the stars then a new makeup line from fashion brand Marchesa should be right up your alley. Everyone including Sandra Bullock, Blake Lively, Kate Hudson, Sarah Jessica Parker and many, many, many more stars have been seen in Marchesa red carpet gowns. Now a line of makeup based on their fashion will debut to fill handbags.
Marchesa is collaborating with beauty company Le Métier de Beauté to create their first makeup line. According to beauty news the Marchesa makeup line will include eye, cheek, lip, and face palettes, eight shades of double-ended lip glosses, and highlighting pens. All of the makeup is small enough to fit in your clutch for an evening out. Colours haven’t been seen yet, but they are said to mimic the colours in their fall fashion line, which included bright red, black, cream, white and blue.
Prices are not for the faint of heart with the Marchesa beauty line starting at $38.
Marchesa makeup will launch at Bergdorf Goodman stores on Fashion’s Night Out, September 10th. A brilliant time to get the attention of the beauty fanatics wanting to spend.
