The Bender Sisters — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:59:21 +0000

New York Fashion Week is here, and models aren’t the only ones thinking about their skin. Whether you’re on or off the runway, there will be long days of back-to-back events, and the added pressure of looking flawless at all times.Offering a range of four targeted cloth masks that provide instant results , SK-II has all of your skin concerns covered. The masks are a favorite of celebrity makeup artist Pat McGrath, who loves using them to prep models’ skin backstage during Fashion Week. Ensure you get the most out of your mask with these insider tips and tricks.

MAXIMIZE YOUR MASK

For extra hydration, warm the mask by placing the packet under running hot water for a couple of minutes. The warmth increases the hydration. (Note: Masks should only be heated under running water.)
To reduce puffiness and generate an extra-refreshing feel, chill the mask in the freezer for a few minutes before applying to the skin.
Target two prime wrinkle concerns with one mask – use an eye mask under your eyes for five minutes, then flip over and apply to laugh lines near your mouth.

Jennifer Aniston On Life, Love, And Getting Older

bsw gossip girls — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:33:08 +0000

Jennifer Aniston is eager to set the record straight regarding Angelina Jolie…They are not fighting…! In this March issue of InStyle magazine, Aniston nixes the never-ending rumors that she has held a grudge against Jolie for shacking up with ex-husband Brad Pitt soon after their 2005 split.

“The triangle with my ex-husband – and that there’s a feud there. It’s constant. It’s a story headline that won’t go away, but it’s a money thing,” Aniston says when asked what the press gets most wrong about her. She also shared an update on her relationship with fellow actor Justin Theroux, whom she met on the set of the upcoming “Wanderlust.” Jennifer was happy to express that it’s going strong and that she’s currently in a “joyful and peaceful” place in her life right now.

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux

“Having experienced everything you don’t want in a partner over time, it starts to narrow down to what you actually do want,” she shares.” As I get older I realize what qualities are important in love and what suits me. And what I won’t settle for.”

Aniston will turn 43 on Feb. 11. She claims that she is okay with the aging process and still feels young. However, when she sees these young new actresses popping up, she thinks that they are the same age…Unfortunately, they are not. “You lose perspective,” she says. “I don’t feel my age. I feel young every day.

Welcome to middle age…! HA!

Check out Rachel McAdams new bold bangs–do you love them?

The Girls in the BSW Beauty Dept. — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:02:26 +0000

At the Los Angeles premiere of The Vow, Rachel McAdams experimented with a brand new look: Thick, eyelash-grazing bangs. “They were a fun change,” hairstylist Mark Townsend told us. “We were inspired by an old Kate Moss photograph.

Rachel has done wispy bangs and side bangs. We thought a full fringe could make a fresh statement.” Townsend went on to say that because McAdams’s has an oval-shaped face, nearly any style bang would work on her. They’re also a flattering look for someone with a high forehead or a heart-shaped face.

Real Housewife of Beverly Hills Kim Richards Out of Rehab

BSW Buzz — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:23:32 +0000

Beverly Hills Real Housewife Kim Richards, is finally speaking out about her private struggles which landed her back in rehab. During last season’s show, Kim’s personal problems became public and on February 13, you’ll get to see her speak out with Andy Cohen during an exclusive Housewife Reunion on Bravo.

Kim Richards from Bravos' "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills"

Richards, 47, confesses, “I just didn’t like me anymore,” during part three of the “Housewives” reunion. “I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror.” The mother of three checked herself into the Betty Ford Center near Palm Springs, California for alcoholism and substance abuse back in early December of this past year.

The former child star admits she hasn’t been as successful during her previous stints in treatment but finally completed a 30-day rehab program. “I’ve struggled with it, and I’ve been working on it for a while,” she says. “I am a person who has done it and relapsed and done it again.”

After displaying erratic behavior on the reality show, slurring her words and throwing tantrums on-camera, Richards said she realized she had hit rock bottom. “I had so much guilt and shame for my behavior then, I drank to cover the guilt and shame and to make it go away,” she says. “It’s a vicious cycle.”

Now that her life is back on track, Richards is hoping to move on and live a healthy, sober life. “At least I’m trying,” she tells Cohen. “I’m really trying.”

Eye Alert: Get Rid of Puffy Tired Eyes With Yes to Products

Cindy Bokma — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:26:36 +0000

Every morning I wake up with tired and puffy eyes. Don’t be jealous! I know old looking eyes are all the rage. In all seriousness, I reach for the Yes to Cucumber Soothing Eye Gel as soon as I get up. Within a few minutes, the puffiness has decreased substantially and I feel ready to face the day. This natural gel calms the eye area and brightens all without harmful petroleum or parabens.

Yesto Age Refreshing Eye Treatments

Also helpful to the eyes is Yes to Blueberries Eye Firming Treatment. Again, no harmful chemicals. We really don’t want those, especially around the sensitive and delicate eye area! This product is formulated with something called the Paracress Flower which is clinically proven to firm the eye area. It also contains blueberries and beeswax. I love it when natural ingredients are used in products!

Another product from this amazing brand is the Brightening Eye Roller. Brightens, refreshes, and helps to reduce dark circles. The eye roller serum contains Horse Chestnut which is known for aiding in reducing dark circles and Bearberry Extract which is an anti-oxidant rich botanical.

I love these Yes To… products so much! What began with Yes To Carrots now offers Yes To Blueberries, Yes to Cucumbers and Yes to Tomatoes. They all smell so good! For more products please go here.

Beauty Comes With Age States Actress Jennifer Garner

BSW Buzz — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 17:46:26 +0000

Between the ages of 13 and 30, Jennifer Garner, did a lot of growing up…And one big lesson she learned then was how to properly pace the major events of her life.

Garner, soon-to-be a mother of three, decided to open up to Britain’s The Sun about being raised by strong, confident women and how that has impacted her Hollywood life especially when it comes to love.

Actress Jennifer Garner with husband Actor Ben Affleck

While in her 20s, she married Scott Foley, known for his role as Noel in TV hit Felicity, who she divorced eight years ago and found divorce a crushing experience. “I thought the divorce statistics would never apply to me. I was beyond heartbroken when they did,” Garner expressed. Following her divorce from Foley, Garner, now 39, started dating Ben Affleck. In 2005 they wed.

According to Garner, “Ben is not only my husband, he has helped me in every way. He is the base of my life. He is an incredibly loving and generous man. I expected he would be a great dad and he is. The couple has two daughters Violet, 6, and Seraphina, 3, with a third child on the way.

Jennifer exclaimed that another perk of getting older was becoming more confident. “I have figured so much more out about life and feel the older women get, the more beautiful they get. We become ourselves which is something you can’t teach anyone at 18.”

Amen…Jennifer is so right on! Look around you and watch older women and how they carry themselves and conduct their lives…It’s quite educational:)!

Super Bowl 2012: Gisele Bundchen defends husband Tom Brady, slams Patriots receiver

BSW Buzz — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:58:10 +0000

Tom Brady may not have walked away with a Super Bowl win Sunday, but he can rest assured that wife Gisele Bundchen will always play a solid defense in his name.

Shortly after Brady and the Patriots lost out to Eli Manning and the Giants 21-17, the quarterback was reportedly spotted just sitting and staring at the floor of the Patriots locker room in shock for nearly 20 minutes.

Bundchen, on the other hand, was seen stalking moodily away from the stadium to meet him with an entourage trailing behind her in a video obtained by TheInsider.com.

When fans heckled the supermodel, crying out “Eli rules!” and “Eli owns your husband,” Bundchen kept a tight smile on her face and kept walking.

But while waiting for the elevator, she could keep in her frustrations no longer.

“You have to catch the ball when you’re supposed to catch the ball,” she said angrily to those around her.

“My husband cannot f–king throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times.”

In the last moments of the game, Brady had attempted a Hail Mary pass to a waiting Aaron Hernandez in the end zone, but it was swatted away by the Giants.

But by the time Bundchen, 31, met up with Brady, her focus was less on bashing the Patriot receivers who failed to connect with the ball Sunday and more on cheering up a gloomy Brady.

The couple embraced as Bundchen whispered words of encouragement to her husband of nearly two years.

Said Brady in an interview with Boston.com reporters: “You know, we fought to the end. You know, we’re very proud of that. Just came up a little bit short.”
