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.

Madonna’s Performance at Superbowl 2012 Has Everyone Talking!

The BSW Fashionistas — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:35:07 +0000

This years Superbowl was all about the ‘material girl’ in her ‘material world‘ by Givenchy! Even M.I.A. flipping off 110 million plus viewers, couldn’t upstage Madonna during the halftime show last night. This may not have been any man’s dream of the perfect halftime show, but who could resist those fabulous costume changes…

Madonna at Superbowl halftime show

Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy haute couture, designed all three looks worn by The Diva, starting with a gold cape she wore when she emerged on her gilded throne looking like Cleopatra. It was encrusted with sequins, studs, paillettes, and lined in leopard chiffon, and she dropped it to reveal a gladiator-esque fringed leather dress, worn with super long gloves and thigh-high boots. Her crown designed by Phillip Treacy, came off for her major ass shaking moves.

Madonna in another Givenchy design

“Like A Prayer,” the last part of her performance, she wore a flowing coat covered in black sequins and pearls, with a wide belt cinching the waist that only Madonna’s tiny frame could pull off!

Madonna's 3rd costume change

Her performance had a mixed reaction. Many people thought she’s a bit too old to be flaunting around the way she does. Some said she still sounded great. What are your thoughts?

Get Sexy Cat Eyes Like Amanda Seyfried This Valentine’s Day

The Girls in the BSW Beauty Dept. — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 21:36:11 +0000

Want this sexy sultry look for Valentine’s Day? It’s easy using Beth Bender’s Cat Eye and Smoky Eye Stencil Kit and Long Wear Lip Shine.

Amanda Seyfriend as Linda Lovelace

First take the cat eye stencil and place it just above your eye lid. Fill in the stencil using the black eye shadow. For a darker richer black that lasts all day into night, try wetting the fatter part of the applicator brush with a bit of water then dab it into the black shadow. Once your stencil is filled with shadow, remove stencil for the perfect cat eye.

Beth Bender's Eye Stencil Kit

To get Amanda’s complete eye look, use the flip side of the smoky stencil to do your bottom lid. Place slightly under your lower lid then apply black shadow starting from the inner eye and continuing to where the upper and lower eye lids meet at the outer part of your eye.

The Perfect All Around Cat Eye

Now for her sexy pouty red lips…Try using Beth Bender’s Long Wear Lip Shine. For the perfect red shiny lips that wear all day into night apply following the entire line of your lips. Gently pat upper lip so the gloss doesn’t seep above your lip line.

Beth Bender Beauty Long Wear Lip Shine

Keep us posted on how your sexy Valentine’s Day look is coming along…:)

Beauty Style Watch: Best and Worst Dressed Celebrities at SAG Awards

The Bender Sisters — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:28:00 +0000

There were a lot of well dressed celebrities this year at the SAG Awards…And, just a few “What were they thinking.” So, BSW is going to hit you with our top picks for The Worst Dressed for 2012 SAG Awards first! Drum roll please…

#1 Now let me start out by saying, The Bender Sisters have met Busy Philipps several times and absolutely LOVE HER…But what the heck was she thinking when she pulled this off the hanger…? It would have been perfect for a beach party at Malibu but not for an award ceremony! And to make this outfit even worse, the blue color of her sandals don’t even match the blue in her dress. We’re also surprised she didn’t trip down the Red Carpet from the length of her schmatta...

Busy Philipps

#2 Another gal we LOVE…Zoe Saldana…She has a wonderful figure hidden by this very white gown? It looks more like an ‘Indian Sari’…All she needs is the red dot in the middle of her forehead to represent her “third eye.” We hope she realized that this dress is not a good look for her…or that maybe she needs to fire her personal stylist/dresser…

Zoe Saldana

#3 Heather Morris…Underworld/I don’t know!!! Ugh…Just awful and absolutely HATE the silver platform sling backs!

Heather Morris of "Glee"

Okay, there were a few more…However, these 3 made our Top Worst List…

Now onto the BEST…YAY!

Sofia Vergara of "Modern Family"

Sofia Vergara as always, looked stunning in her bold Marchesa dress around her sexy curves. Her jewels were by Lorraine Schwartz.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Joli

One of the best dressed couples of Hollywood…Angelina Jolie wearing a black halter Jenny Packham gown paired with vintage jewelry and Brad in Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquiere design. BSW never gets tired of looking at this hot couple! They are to be commended for all they do for others who are less fortunate! Truly a gracious couple from head to toe!

Emma Stone

BSW just adores this sassy young actress…Emma Stone sporting a flashy Alexander McQueen dress with Tiffany & Co. jewels. She picked the perfect hair style and simple jewelry to compliment her look on The Red Carpet. Bravo, girlie!

Viola Davis star of "The Help"

Hard to believe this is the same woman who gave a heart wrenching performance in “The Help.” Viola Davis absolutely glowed in her Marchesa gown as she accepted the award for Outstanding Female Actress. Her entire ensemble including her hair just looks fantastic!

Kyra Sedgwick

Kyra Sedgwick, like The Bender Sisters, defies her age in a sultry cut-out Pucci dress. She always knows what to wear on The Red Carpet and never disappoints us. She even showed off a tribute to her family…her tattoo:)

And The Bender Sisters honorable mention…

Funny girl, Melissa McCarthy

We want to give a shout out to Melissa who must of gotten our memo on “how to improv her look on The Red Carpet.” That horrible red lipstick is gone and Melissa’s hair looks more stylish and love her gown! YAY Melissa…

Get the look: Katherine Heigl at the One for the Money premiere

Cindy Bokma — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 19:05:10 +0000

I’ve long been a fan of Janet Evanovich’s fun novels about bounty hunter Stephanie Plum. In my own mind, I had the roles of the characters cast including Sandra Bullock as Stephanie Plum and Dwayne Johnson as sexy Ranger. But for some reason, the producers didn’t consult me before casting the film!? The plum role (har har) went to Katherine Heigland here she is at the premiere.

If you are a starlet looking to make a splash on the red carpet, the color RED will do the trick. With the right hair and makeup, red can be not only flattering but bold and eye catching. But we arent here to talk about her dress which I really like. We are dissecting her coif!

“Celebrity hairstylist David Babaii created her red carpet look using Grace Kelly as his inspiration. To transform your tresses from brown to a “Hollywood Blonde” David recommends using the professional hair color Aquarly 20/20 by IT&LY HAIRFASHION to achieve a long-lasting, natural and healthy looking shade.

To create this Grace Kelly inspired look, David started with IT&LY’S Advanced Color Protection Shampoo and Conditioner. After gently towel drying, he applied a small amount of Miracle Oil Hair Elixir by David Babaii for its intense conditioning benefits, superior color preservation and thermal protection.

Next, after blow drying, he used a medium sized curling iron creating curls and directing them off the face and under. To style, David lightly back brushed the fringe area for some height and smoothed this lightly with a medium paddle brush.

He continued the style by using his fingers to loosen the curls into soft waves and drawing all the hair into a loose chignon toward the back of the head and securing with silver coated bobby pins. David finished the style with IT&LY HAIR FASHION’S Pure Definition Hair Spray.”
