Real Housewives star Bethenny Frankel made a name for herself with her margaritas, and now that we’ve aged ourselves ten years by guzzling them down like water, she wants to help us out.

Frankel recently partnered with Lotta Luv to create Skinnygirl Face & Body Solutions. And in typical Bethenny fashion, she’s being pretty blunt about its efficacy.

“[Promises like] ‘You’re going to look like Heidi Klum in two days’ or ‘[Look] like you had a face-lift’ have always bothered me,” Frankel says.

Forget Botox, Try Mesolift Injections!
Forget Botox, it's all about Mesolift!

Why freeze your face when you can have natural vitamins injected to make your skin look more youthful?

I had heard about Mesolift injections from a few different people and decided to give it a shot. I have been pleasantly satisfied with the results because you look fresh and you can still be able to show emotion. I like people to know if I'm happy or if I'm upset.

Kim Kardashian's Makeup Artist Mario Reveals His Beauty Secrets
Admit it, you envy Kim Kardashian for her gorgeous skin, makeup and overall glammed up look on the red carpet. What if we told you we found her secret weapon?

Makeup artist to the stars, Mario Dedivanovic is giving Hollyscoop the low down on how he gives Kim that radiant red carpet glow--as well as some other amazing beauty tips. Read on beauty lovers...

What kind of lashes do you use on your clients to give them a dramatic look?
Mario: “I use different kinds of lashes - both strips and individuals. It really depends on the look I'm going for. I love the Ardell brand of false lashes. MAC individual lashes are a favorite too and often times I make my own design using strips or individuals - I glue pieces together or cut into them to get my desired look.”

What foundation or concealer do you use under your clients eyes to give that radiant look?
Mario: “Under the eyes, I use concealer. If the area is very dark, I'll use a cream concealer first like Laura Mercier's secret camouflage and follow with a liquid concealer on top. I love the new liquid high definition concealer from Smashbox cosmetics.

How can us regular folks get that gorgeous red carpet glow on our skin?
Mario: “Very easily actually! I created the perfect highlighter for Giella Cosmetics called Eye M Glam. It gives a sheer golden glow to the skin and you can use it anywhere on the face or body. I always apply some to the cheekbones, bridge of nose, inner corner of eyes and on the collarbones. I literally can’t work without it - it makes my clients look so polished and radiant. Eye M Glam is sold at www.giella.com.

What one key product do you use on your clients to help flatter their skin?
Mario: “I would definitely say the Eye M Glam highlighter. I use it on everyone and anyone because it flatters the skin with a youthful glow.”

How do you make sure your make up doesn’t melt off during a night out on the town?
Mario: “Try using a primer first because it will help makeup to last longer. For longer lasting makeup, its important to powder the skin after foundation. Powder will hold everything in place.”

Are there any products you use before to make sure your make up stays in place?
Mario: “Not really. I just always set makeup with powder to keep everything in place. Sometimes I will spray Fix + by MAC over everything to help set the makeup. If a client has dry skin, I spray The Mist by La Mer all over face after makeup is complete. It adds moisture and sort of wakes up the skin.”

Are there any products that you use to get rid of shine?
Mario: “There are different products and/or techniques for this. Sometimes I start off with a anti-shine cream on the T-zone. This absorbs the oils and leaves the skin with a matte finish. Oil blotting tissues are also amazing. Use them throughout the day or night to absorb oils without messing with the makeup.”

They don't call her Pretty Woman for no reason! Julia Roberts was just named the new global ambassador for the L’Oreal brand Lancôme.

“I think I have to stand up straighter and wash my face more,” Roberts joked to WWD when asked about her new responsibilities.

“It’s kind of like every girl’s dream, really,” Julia said. “To be 42 and have three kids and be a working mom, it’s a great moment to be asked to do this and to be able to do it. I think it says a lot about Lancome and what they stand for.”

Julia’s first ad photo for Lancome was shot by Mario Testino, and will appear in ads and magazines this summer when her "Eat, Pray, Love," movie is released.

Julia is so classy and lovely, Lancôme couldn't have picked a better ambassador!
Celebrity Travel Must-Haves
Celebrities are forced to jet set due to their job and they usually look amazing while doing it. Unlike us, stars are photographed as soon as they step off the plane, so rocking a pair of worn out sweats and Uggs won’t exactly land them on the best-dressed lists.

Celebs are obsessed with Genetic Denim’s ‘The Shane’ jeans. They are comfy, and perfect for long flights. Kristen Stewart, Jessica Biel, Kate Beckinsale, and Emily Blunt have all been spotted rocking these pants at the airport. Another necessity while traveling is to pack wisely. There is nothing more annoying than going through security only to find out you have to toss out your favorite face wash because the bottle is too large.

Luckily for us, the people at Zia make packing easier for us by releasing Natural Skin Holiday Travel Sets. These kits make packing and going through security a breeze.

Each kit contains a daily cleanser, toner, exfoliant, moisturizer, and facial mask to keep your skincare regime in check while your abroad. They also make great gifts for that world traveler friend and they are priced at only $19.99.

With these items you are sure to do your holiday traveling efficiently and in style.

Lady Gaga's Futuristic Beauty Secret
The pop diva is always on the forefront setting new trends and it’s no surprise that her beauty obsessions also reflect her cutting edge life style.

At the ACE awards, Lady Gaga received a skin brightening drink from GliSODin and shortly after the singer has become obsessed with this new age beauty treatment.

Nutricosmetics is the latest revolution in the beauty world where indigestible such as drinks and certain edibles improve the look of skin.

The GliSODin Nutricosmetics line was created by a group of nutritionists and dermatologists to ensure efficiency. Consuming skin care formulas in oral form is said to provide actual results and provide them faster than topical solutions. The idea of the concept is that these formulas will help users radiate from within and provide a solution for our skin care woes.

There are a few different formulas one can use depending on their skin issues:

The Advance Skin Brightening Formula, which is Lady Gaga’s favorite, promotes an even skin tone and prevents the skin against photo aging.

The Advance Daily Formula works to rejuvenate and hydrate the skin, promotes a natural healthy glow and protects the skin from harmful environmental factors which in turn help diminish pre-mature aging.

If you suffer from blemishes and dull skin the Advanced Detoxification Formula may be your savior because it rids your body of toxins, which will eventually reflect on your skin’s appearance.

The singer started taking the supplement when she began filming her latest music video for Bad Romance. The singer wanted to ensure that her skin looked hydrated and healthy as possible for her close ups and it’s no doubt that her skin is looking better than ever.
