Welcome to yet another Beauty Tuesday with a feature by Eileen on summer hair removal. Whether you wax, shave, or Nair, Eileen’s got you covered!

*****************************************************************************
Hey Beauty Bombers!!
Summer temps mean that very soon we’ll be baring it all….

…and who wants to get caught out there with unsightly stubble?
Check out these hair removal solutions: products you can use in the comfort of your home to guarantee a smooth summer look!

If you like the ease of a razor you’ll need a foamy shaving gel to make sure you get the closest shave possible. Lippmann Collection’s Did I Shave My Legs For This? can be used on any body part so you can start getting ready for the beach!

After shaving, exfoliate for a smoother finish with a scrub or body polish like True Blue Spa In The Buff Body Polish ($17.50, www.bbw.com) to get rid of dead skin.

If you’re more into crème hair removers, try the super affordable Sally Hansen Naturally Bare Crème Hair Remover for Body.

It works in as little as 3 minutes and has a rich and creamy formula with honey, chamomile, lemon & soy!

If you would rather wax-on and wax-off, try Completely Bare Ouch-Less Strip-Less Wax ($22, www.competelybare.com).

It’s easy to use and is excellent for any type of skin! It adheres to hair, not skin, so it’s even safe for people with sensitive skin or those who have a history of allergic reactions.

For post-waxing or shaving relief, try SOS Post-Waxing Oil by Yves Rocher to instantly ease redness, eliminate residue wax and soothe your skin.

Purchase a few picks here:

Ciao Bellas!

Great info and product picks! Can I confess I am SO TERRIFIED of waxing!

I know I should get it together, but…the pain is a huge deterrent!

Anyway, great job Eileen!

Fashion Bombers, join me in wishing a very Happy Birthday to our BOMB feature writer Adriana Nova:

Adriana with Micah Jesse

This New York native has gone from intern to Fashion Bomb fixture in short shrift, and we’re so happy she’s on the team!!

Adri, have an absolutely fabulous, fashionable day!

You deserve it!

Rihanna went for super exotic in a skin clinging long sleeved Christopher Kane Gorilla Dress with Miu Miu Cut out Platform Sandals:

The dress is unique, different…very Rihanna. Unfortunately the price is also very Rihanna at $1,114. Yowza.

Get something similar with these items:

Christopher Kane is a Scottish designer who began his fashion career at Central St Martins. He interned with designers Giles Deacon and Russell Sage before setting up his eponymous label upon graduation. He went on to win Young Designer Of The Year at the Scottish Fashion Awards in 2006 and is a favorite of Kylie Minogue and Kate Moss.

Vanessa Simmons was spotted filming scenes for season 2 of “Daddy’s Girls” in West Hollywood, CA:

If you like her scarf swag, get a similar essence with this $90 Matthew Williamson Ambroise Silk Printed option. It’s not a certified steal, but perhaps $90 is a small price to pay for a TV ready look.

Not convinced? Save on the rest of her outfit with these:

Our friends over at Stuff Fly People Like recently posted this picture:

Apparently our Style File subject Lala has jumped on the shaved side train, even taking the look a step further by adding a few clean lines into the mix.

Kelis brought the edge, Cassie softened the spark, and now Lala makes the look super trendy.

What do you think bombshells? Is the look edgy or are you over it?

Most importantly: would you rock it?

Hey Bombshells!

So Father’s Day is coming up this Sunday June 21st:

If you haven’t run to the mall to get your Dad a gift, try one of these 25 recession friendly options under $50:

Get your shine on in this Swarovski encrusted minaudiere by Sylvia Toledano:

The clutches’ stylized multicolored peacock feather glitters against a smoky topaz-hued pavé background, providing a dash of drama to any evening outfit. $1,400 buys you a purse fully covered in Austrian crystals; perhaps the glittering pen and detachable silvertone chain justify the price?
It comes in blue and pink at Vivre:

Hey!

In case some of you are missing NYC street style, we’ve collaborated with cool college site Street Spotted (www.street-spotted.com) to bring you a bit of USA flavor!

Today they give us a picture of Rachel and Victoria, two friends who are currently doing Parson’s intensive summer program in the city:

Rachel (left) mixes high and low, rocking an Urban Outfitters Jacket and Century 21 dress with Stuart Weitzman flats and a Marc Jacobs bag. Victoria on the right is the definition of recessionista chic in American Apparel and Urban Outfitters.
What do you think of their street style?

Smootches!

Finally got a chance to peep the video for this hot new single by Cassie:

I’m actually happy that Cassie is back on the scene.
Crossing my fingers she can knock it out the park with a live performance to secure her comeback!
