Filippa Hamilton is the Ralph Lauren model that recently found herself at the middle of one of the biggest “photoshop flops” of our times, as the media dubbed the promo photograph that popped up in a mall in Japan, showing her with hips and waist smaller than her head. Appearing just hours ago on Today with Ann Curry, Hamilton revealed she was fired from Ralph Lauren for being overweight – and that was before the incident with the photo. For starters, Hamilton points out that she’s been working with Lauren for about eight years, during which time her weight did not fluctuate at all. She’s extremely tall and h...

However, recent pictures snapped while she was on vacation in St. Tropez, showing the extent of the damage done to her skin by her unhealthy lifestyle, have prompted Moss to opt for a radical change, the Daily Mail informs. Kate Moss is a heavy smoker and drinker – as a matter fact, the media knows that there are few things she likes in life more than partying. Und... [read more >>] We’ve heard so much about products that brag about being able to turn back the hands of time, promising nothing short of the fountain of eternal youth, that, undoubtedly, most of us must already be sick and tired of the same ol’ story told over and over again. I, for what it’s worth, never bought into the “this cream can make you young again” story, although I admit I have tried more of them than I should have or would have liked, for that matter. Until I received a sample of LA Science 2 Week Miracle Anti-Aging Program from LA Science, which says it nourishes the skin, imitating the speed of the processes in t...

At the same time, Christie, niece of the famous gold medalist Linford Christie, also became the first Miss England with high hopes of winning a medal in the 2012 Olympics, as The Telegraph can confirm. Speaking of her win, Christie said she was surprised she was actually crowned Miss England, despite the fact that, before the pageant, bookies had her as the favorite. Being black and becoming the first black woman to hold the beauty title...

However, even those who can have another thing to worry over, namely, stretch marks which are more visible as the weight lost is greater. Enter Bio Oil, a product that has been getting rave reviews ever since it was launched.Common sense and specialized literature have long told us that stretch marks, be them from weight loss or gain, or caused by pregnancy, cannot be entirely eliminated with a cosmetic product and that surgery was the only option to rid ou... [read more >>] Since summer is almost here – not that it really mattered after all – a new survey comes to tell all women that they can lose as much as 3kg by simply getting a tan. Granted, the weight does not go anywhere, but the study does indicate that a bronzed skin creates the impression of a much slimmer body, as the Daily Mail can confirm.Consequently, women looking to appear thinner and get more compliments, plus attract more attention, might as well consider the option of getting a fake spray tan. As the survey indicates, women not only are perceived as better looking if they have that bronzed glow about them, but they are also more c... [read more >>] Women trying to eliminate the nasty problem of dimpled skin have now a very strong ally fighting the battle on their part. They’re called The Scala underpants and they claim to be able to considerably reduce cellulite in just a month by heating up the skin and increasing cell metabolism, the Daily Mail informs. The Scala knickers cost £25 and go on sale today at John Lewis. The idea behind this product is that it solves the problem by tacking it at its core, unlike the myriad of creams and lotions now available on the market. The Scala does it by means of crystals found in the fabric of the underpants, which heat up when they en... [read more >>] A short while ago, as Madonna was gearing up for another series of promo campaigns for several huge US brands, the world was astonished to see that she seemed to have regained her youthful appearance over a very short period of time. Since plastic surgery was not the case, it could very well be that she had fillers injected into her skin to get what is known as the “pillow case,” the hottest beauty obsession with celebrities, as the Daily Mail puts it. Plastic surgery has become an inconvenient method to turn back time and eradicate all its signs. Aside from its cost (which is of no consequence to stars), it also takes too much ... [read more >>] When 19-year-old model Stephanie Naumoska took part in the finals for the Miss Universe Australia beauty pageant, her appearance and weight impressed judges and the public opinion – but not in the way she meant them to. Cataloged as too skinny, underweight and possibly even anorexic by health experts in Australia, Naumoska is now biting back at the rumors by saying she’s very healthy, as the Herald Sun informs.The model, who did not win the pageant to go on to represent Australia in the Miss Universe competition, says that, despite reports she weighs a mere 49kg (at 180cm in height), she reckons she rather falls somewhere in the... [read more >>] Plastic surgery, especially the one performed in the so-called cowboy cosmetic clinics, is not meant to help patients overcome their issues, but is rather focused on profit, for which, understandably, the patient is essential. The cosmetic industry is like any other industry, and is certainly not too preoccupied with patient care, which is why potential consumers should make sure not to be lured into buying the illusion that is currently sold in the media, former President of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) Douglas McGeorge says for the Daily Mail. Following an undercover investigation by Which? in British cowb... [read more >>] |
