The Cost of Kate Middleton's Beauty Routine
On Wednesday, The Duchess and her husband, Prince William, attended a new hospital opening in Cambridge, and Middleton seemed less confident about her style. As the couple waved to the crowd from a windy balcony, Middleton's new hairstyle looked extra wind-blown, and the Daily Mail reports that she repeatedly brushed her newly layered hair away from her face.

Middleton's high-waisted skirt. Photo by Nick Harvey/WireImage Just five or six years ago women scoffed at high-waisted fashions. Low-rise was all the rage for a decade, and the only bottoms that hit above the belly button in recent years were the dreaded mom jeans. But fashion designers started raising waistlines and retro "Mad Men" fashion made its way back into the mainstream, and in recent years it's seemed like the higher the waist the better. That is until we saw the unfortunate skirt Pippa Middleton wore to an event Monday night.
Found It! Pippa Middleton's Metallic Dress
Kate Middleton's famous and typically chic younger sister attended a party for British brand W&W Jewellery wearing a gold metallic pencil skirt that was so high-waisted it hit just below her bust line. For a stylish, flattering fit, a high-waisted skirt should hit at your natural waist—typically the thinnest part of your midsection—not at your underwire! As you may know, Pippa Middleton's bum got a lot of attention as she carried the Duchess of Cambridge's wedding-dress
Barbie dolls are one of the most collected items in the world, and they're an especially popular gift around the holidays for women young and old.

Snooki has a new baby, a new fragrance, and new red hair"Jersey Shore" star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi has come a long way since her early days at MTV in late 2009. From Seaside Heights, New Jersey, to Miami Beach, to Italy, the self-proclaimed "meatball" spent much of her televised days going tanning, wearing a hair poof, getting wasted, and falling over in public. She may not have been as promiscuous as certain co-stars like Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, but let's be real: Snooki had a trashy reputation. Snooki may still go tanning "as much as possible," but she's given up the partying, the hookups, and yes, even the poof. Snooki has capitalized on her fame with a successful fashion and beauty line for HSN (really, the collection sold out fast!), and is already launching her second fragrance and a line of nail polish. With her impending nuptials on the horizon, we sat down with the pint-sized reality star to discuss beauty products, her life as a new mom, and her contributions to Sandy relief efforts. Check out our Q+A and let us know
Getty ImagesEver wondered what other Shine readers are wearing? We've finally asked in our new monthly series: What Are You Wearing Today?
Each month we'll have a different theme and a dedicated space (on the right side of the Shine fashion page) where readers can upload photos of their clothing, accessories, and beauty look. Our last weekly topic was rings, and amongst 17 great submissions, we spotted our favorite: A vintage engagement ring submitted by a woman named Constance won the title of Shine Reader Look of the Week. Take a look at all the awesome rings Shine readers were wearing last week.
This month's topic is NAILS. Please send photos (through email or Twitter) of your DIY and salon manicures. We're dying to see the cool nail polish you're rocking--from classic colors to trendy shades to playful and creative nail art. Snap a picture and send it in. We'll show you our nails too! Stay tuned for a compiled gallery of nails and the Shine Reader Look of the Month at the end of
Valeria Lukyanova is a human Barbie. Photo courtesy of V magazineForget nose jobs, Botox, and celebrity workout routines-the latest extreme beauty trend is transforming yourself into a living doll. At Shine we've profiled many doll-like ladies, from 19-year-old Anime queen Anastasiya Shpagina, to 15-year-old London YouTube sensation Venus Palermo, to England-native Sarah Burge, who currently holds the world record for spending over $500,000 on cosmetic surgery. Perhaps the most fascinating of all plastic women is the Ukranian Internet star, Valeria Lukyanova, who has been dubbed the human Barbie. Upon examining her surreal appearance, many wondered if Lukyanova was made up and completely computer generated. A new profile in V magazine not only proves her existence, it also gives a glimpse into her bizarre brain.
Twenty-one-year-old Lukyanova refers to herself as "most famous woman of the Russian-speaking Internet" and often uses the alias "Amatue," which means sun goddess. She hails from the Moldavian city of Tiraspol, and currently has 466 videos
Kate Middleton re-wore a black lace Temperley dress to a gala this weekKate Middleton is a major brand loyalist, counting British designers like Alexander McQueen, Issa, L.K. Bennet, and Alice Temperley among her favorites. Clearly the Duchess of Cambridge has a soft spot for one particular black lace Temperley gown, as she has now been spotted wearing it on more than one formal occasion. On Thursday night, Kate and Prince William attended a black tie dinner gala at Middle Temple Hall celebrating the 600th anniversary of their alma mater, the University of St. Andrews, in Scotland. The school is very dear to the couple as they first met on campus back in 2002, and they are sure to be amongst the university's most famous graduates.

For this special event, Middleton wore the same black lace Temperley gown she wore to the London premiere of "War Horse" back in January. She accessorized with a red McQueen bow clutch, and a red poppy flower pin in honor of the upcoming Remembrance Day holiday on
