      EBoost Superberry EBoost Superberry
      10 of the latest and greatest ways to put your best face (and body) forward in 2011

      1. Drink Smarter
      A lot of mindless calories come from sipping-not chewing. Besides adding extra pounds to your frame, chemicals and synthetic ingredients in sodas and other high-calorie drinks overwork your adrenal glands. Nutritionists recommend upping your water intake and swapping your soda or sugary energy drink habit for a healthful, antioxidant-rich one with no or low sugar like the new EBoost Super Berry Liquid Shot. "Its potent antioxidants from vitamin C, green tea, and pomegranate work together to enhance your immune system and help improve skin quality," says Sharon Richter, RD, CDN. "Keep a shot in your bag and you won't be as tempted to go for sweet snacks when your energy dips."





      2. Get a Leg Up
      The best workout is one that attacks the major muscle groups-big ones like the quadriceps-and increases your heart rate. "When you work the legs, the entire body gets a workout and

    • 10 Out-Of-This-World Runway Looks

      Before there were LED light-up bodysuits and and the remake of Tron, there was futuristic, cyber-inspired runway fashion. Discover fashion's love affair of the unknown from these 25 out-of-this-world looks.



      1. Gareth Pugh, spring 2009

      While it may not have caught on as a top trend that season, android-angular is a timeless silhouette.







      2. Manish Arora, fall 2008

      Intergalactic gladiator never looked so good.




      3. Giles, spring 2010

      If this dress were available for purchase on Second Life, you know all the fashion girls would flock to make their avatars ASAP.






      4. Balenciaga, fall 2005

      Ghesquière's was secretly hoping to be called on as costume designer of the Tron remake when he sent this design down the runway.







      5. Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture, fall 2009

      In this couture show, Jean Paul Gaultier based each look on a Hollywood character. This little number could work well for Linda Harrison in Planet of the Apes 2088.

      From extreme plastic surgery to hairstyle overhauls, the most dramatic morphs of the year



      1. January Jones

      The Mad Men actress has said that when it comes to her red-carpet fashion choices, she tends to steer clear of anything the former Mrs. Don Draper might wear. This line of thinking apparently applies to her beauty choices, too: In a bold break from Betsy's classic '60s makeup, Jones flaunted futuristic high-fashion eye shadow at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala in May.


      January JonesJanuary Jones


      2. Rihanna

      The pop star might be "the only girl in the world" besides Lady Gaga who can seamlessly transition from one bold hairstyle to another in the blink of an eye. After switching from a blond pixie to a fiery-red one, Rihanna went even further, flaunting a hot, extension-fueled mass of curls at the American Music Awards in November.

      Top hairstylists and makeup artists reveal their favorite trends of the season



      1. Rich Hair Color

      "The holidays are a time of year steeped in tradition and jewel tones, so 'tis the season to enrich your hair with color," says Amanda Williams, celebrity hairstylist (she's worked with Ellen Page and Bryce Dallas Howard) and owner of Arabella Salon in Portland, Oregon. She recommends getting a professional treatment with Davines' gentle, plant-based Finest Pigment gloss ( click here to locate a salon near you). "It only lasts six to eight shampoos so it's an extremely non-committal way to create depth and luxurious shine," says Williams. Translation: There's no excuse not to pair emerald earrings with red-tinted tresses.

      2. Look-at-Me Lips

      "I love red lips-they're eternally chic and look especially festive during the holidays," says Troy Surratt, the makeup guru behind Maggie Gyllenhaal's oft-deep-colored pucker. "If you have reservations about an opaque formula, try a sheer one
