The theme for Rafael Cennamo Couture’s Fall 2013 presentation was ’21 Shades of Gold,’ and this theme’s over the top opulence was evident all around the collection.

From the breathtaking floor length ball gowns to the models’ shimmering pale gold pedicures and edgy gold-flecked manicures, every inch of this collection was covered in luxury. Learn how to add some touches of glamorous couture to YOUR makeup routine.

Rafael Cennamo Couture Fall 2013: Opulent Gold Nails — Get The Look

For Rafael Cennamo’s luxurious presentation, striking nail polish shades were custom made by designer nail brand Zoya. Cennamo himself collaborated with the team of color experts at Zoya for this collection. Together, they created a gilded topcoat called “Maria Luisa,” which gave each model’s manicure a one-of-a-kind glow. The topcoat alone was used on the models’ toenails, creating a clear gold lucite effect. Over darker nail polishes, the Maria Luisa shade gave the effect of a gold fireworks explosion against a dark night sky. Over gold nail polishes, the topcoat completely enhanced the yellow undertones for a full on bling.

To try a similar look yourself, try painting your nails with Zoya Professional Lacquer in Goldie. This high-shine metallic gold will give you a dramatic sheen in just one coat.

Rafael Cennamo Couture Fall 2013: Dramatic Sultry Eyes & Bold Glossy Lips — Get the Look

Bobbi Brown makeup was used at the Rafael Cennamo presentation. Feathery false lashes atop dusty slate gray lids gave the models a powerful edgy look. To go beyond your traditional smokey eye, extend your shadow almost up to your brows for an over-the-top edge. Some models were even equipped with gold metal eyebrows — talk about fierce!

Lacquered red lips were a bold contrast against the metallic gold collection. This lip look worked because the high-gloss shine matched the intensity of the twinkly mixed-metals. This flattering shade goes just as well with a couture gown as it does with a simple makeup look and toned down outfit.

HollywoodLifers, what do YOU think of the look at Rafael Cennamo?

Feb 11th 2013, 13:33

From form-fitting dresses to a sequin crop top and baseball caps, the looks that came down the runway would look great on the sexy songstress!</h3.
The snug-fitting knit dresses shown at the Herve Leger by Max Azria Fall 2013 runway show are perfect for showcasing sexy hourglass figures. Embellished with glitzy tube beading and alluring tribal prints, these and it the models like a glove. Celebs who love showing off their curves in body con dresses — like our girl Rihanna — would look phenomenal in these classy and sassy numbers. We would love to see Rihanna flaunt her bod in one of Herve Leger’s tribal print beaded knit dresses!

With proper layering, the addition of opaque tights, or leather boots, these dresses could easily work as great daytime looks appropriate to wear to the office. On their own, the dresses are elegant, sexy cocktail attire.

Attention to Detail & Careful Construction:

The placement of the beading on the jersey dresses was impeccable, as the graphic geometrical prints at the waist enhance the illusion of curves and draws the eye to your smallest parts. These dresses would be incredibly figure flattering on any body type. The dresses with wilder tribal prints have the same effect since the fabric is carefully constructed to highlight certain features and camouflage potentially tricky areas like the hips and midsection.

Herve Leger Fall 2013 Knitwear: Jewel Tones & Sexy Upscale Glamour:

Rich amethyst, emerald (Pantone color of the year), silver, and gold were all incorporated into the Fall 2013 showing. Jewel tones are a great way to wear color in the colder months, without feeling like you’re wearing last summer’s neons. These shades also work as neutrals, so they can blend seamlessly into your wardrobe and feel appropriate for any event or season.

Herve Leger Fall 2013 Outerwear: Bold In Black & White:

Sophisticated outerwear in winter whites and lacquered inky blacks also walked the runway. With oversized fur hoods and statement
shoulders, these coats make a serious fashion statement regardless of what you’re wearing underneath! Sometimes fall and winter fashion is lost underneath a pile of coats and hoodies, but Herve Leger’s options prove that fashion can remain in the forefront even while you keep warm! Featuring textured woven leather and fluffy, fuzzy hoods, the winter coats looked as Wow! as they did warm!

Hollywood Life: Rihanna & Chris Brown Engaged? Singer Wears Diamond Ring At Grammys

Wedding soon? A very suspicious diamond ring was spotted on Rihanna’s ring finger during the Feb. 10 Grammy Awards.

Not only did Rihanna and Chris Brown snuggle up at the Grammy Awards on Feb. 10, but fans were abuzz on Twitter after RiRi was caught wearing what looked to be an engagement ring on her finger during parts of the telecast — most notably during her performance of “Stay.”

It was four years ago that Chris infamously assaulted Rihanna after a pre-Grammy party on Feb. 8, 2009. But all seems to be forgiven and forgotten, because the two lovers were spotted getting very cozy with each other during the ceremony.

Rihanna looked super happy as she leaned into her boyfriend, who put his arm around her for a photo. While she wore a number of rings on the red carpet, Rihanna took all of them off later in the evening and left just a simple diamond band on her engagement finger.

Rihanna Gives Powerful Performance With ‘Stay’ — Song For Chris Brown?

Rihanna was spotted wearing the diamond ring during her performance of “Stay.”

“Is that a wedding ring on Rihanna?” one Twitter user said.

Another said, “Rihanna engaged?!?! Or that’s some type of promise ring?”

“Rihanna is wearing a diamond on her left ring finger. Really?”

“Hope that’s just an accessory,” added yet another fan.

Her performance of “Stay” was no doubt meant for Chris. Her slow, intimate rendition of the song with Mikky Ekko was tender and beautiful. It’s such a great love song.

What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Are Chris and Rihanna engaged?

Hollywood Life: Pope Benedict XVI To Resign At The End Of February

Feb 11th 2013, 12:11

Shocking! Pope Benedict XVI will resign on Feb. 28, his spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said. He’ll be the first Pope in nearly 600 years to step down.

Pope Benedict XVI will stand down as the leader of the Catholic church, because his strength is “no longer adequate to continue in office due to his advanced age.”

A Vatican spokesman said, “It's taken us a bit by surprise. We've had to organize ourselves very quickly. We've had no warning of what the Pope was about to announce. The declaration is crystal clear and we need to go through it word by word. The Pope says that he looked in a personal way and had a deep moment of reflection to consider the mission that he had received from God.”

Pope Benedict XVI’s Statement Of Resignation:

Dear Brothers,

I have convoked you to this Consistory, not only for the three canonizations, but also to communicate to you a decision of great importance for the life of the Church.

After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry.

I am well aware that this ministry, due to its essential spiritual nature, must be carried out not only with words and deeds, but no less with prayer and suffering.

However, in today's world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me.

For this reason, and well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of Saint Peter, entrusted to me by the Cardinals on 19 April 2005, in such a way, that as from 28 February 2013, at 20:00 hours, the See of Rome, the See of Saint Peter, will be vacant and a Conclave to elect the new Supreme Pontiff will have to be convoked by those whose competence it is.

Dear Brothers, I thank you most sincerely for all the love and work with which you have supported me in my ministry and I ask pardon for all my defects.

And now, let us entrust the Holy Church to the care of Our Supreme Pastor, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and implore his holy Mother Mary, so that she may assist the Cardinal Fathers with her maternal solicitude, in electing a new Supreme Pontiff.

With regard to myself, I wish to also devotedly serve the Holy Church of God in the future through a life dedicated to prayer.

Pope Benedict XVI Makes History

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI when he took office in April 2005, when he was 78-years-old, after succeeding Pope John Paul II, according to CNN. Breaking ground in 2012, by becoming the first Pope to ever tweet, Pope Benedict XVI will also be the first Pope to resign in nearly 600 years. The last time this happened was when Pope Gregory XII left the position in 1415.

What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Why do you think the Pope is resigning?

Hollywood Life: Sun Kissed, Glowing Skin At Herve Leger Fall 2013 — Get The Look

Hollywood Life
Latest Hollywood Gossip, News & Celeb Pics
thumbnail Sun Kissed, Glowing Skin At Herve Leger Fall 2013 — Get The Look
Feb 11th 2013, 12:00

Radiant, healthy skin is always in season — and no show reminded us of that more than the Herve Leger by Max Azria Fall 2013 runway show.

Even though fall and winter fashions are geared toward keeping warm in the frigid temps, the team at Sephora Pro came up with a fun new way to warm up the runway — with sunny, glowing skin! Here’s how YOU can recreate the look.

Lead Sephora Pro Makeup Artist Val Garland explained that her vision for the makeup for the Herve Leger show was one of “natural beauty, California surfer casual.” In a collection full of hoods, hats, long flowing hair and caps, the makeup should not distract from the look, she explained. Radiant, bronzed skin subtly enhanced the looks without overpowering the styles!

To create the models’ glowing complexions, the Sephora Pro team used Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage and Stila Stay All Day Foundation & Concealer to correct and refine the skin tones. Benefit Watt’s Up! was used to highlight dark spots where necessary and give some shimmering sheen to the cheekbones. Stila Convertible Color in Camellia and Hourglass Illume Creme-To-Powder Bronzer gave the girls’ cheeks a sunkissed glow.

Nothing is worse than obvious, stripey bronzer! To avoid looking streaky and maximize your glow, apply a light dusting of bronzer to the spots of the face that would normally catch the sun’s rays — your forehead, temples, and nose. Extend that bronzer to your eyelids and browbones to get an even glow without using any extra products.

No Mascara On The Runway

Val Garland shocked us when she explained that the makeup team would not be using mascara on the models — for any beauty-obsessed girl out there, mascara is a total staple! She explained that, “sometimes, on the catwalk, mascara just looks too modern.” In this case, mascara would take the look beyond a sunkissed surfer-girl style. If you’re skeptical about giving your mascara the season off, give an eyelash curler a try. Pump the curler against your lashes multiple times for great curl — even without product. If you MUST add mascara to your surfer casual look, make sure it’s waterproof!

At the show, the Sephora Pro team used the Sephora Eyelash Curler to maximize curl and Tarte EmphasEYES Inner Rim Brightener to perk up and brighten the eyes with minimal product.

The perfect glowing look is not complete without a polishing coat of nude lip color. To get your best results, use a semi-sheer nude color. This will play up your natural lip color rather than looking chalky or cakey, which completely cancels out the effortless effect of your casual look. For the Herve Leger show, models used Sephora Rouge Shine Lipstick in No. 01 Honeymoon.

HollywoodLifers, what do YOU think of the Herve Leger look?

There’s a common complaint among Oldie Olsens like myself that live singing in the Ke$ha Era is going the way of the Dodo. (Or is that Do%o?)

Whether or not there’s any truth to that theory, the 2013 Grammy Awards proved to be one small step for the human voice, and one giant blow against Auto-Tune.

Indeed, while there were certainly a couple of subpar showings among the telecast’s 20 individual performances, there was really only a single full-fledged catastrophe in the mix.
