I have a lot of beauty resolutions this year (lose weight, look younger, wash my face every night, yada yada yada), but one of the more colorful and fun ones is to learn to love lipstick, finally. I've been a lip gloss wearer all my life for the simple reason that it's easy, low maintenance and not really intimidating. Lipstick has always seemed to be more complicated and probably not the smartest thing to apply if you don't have a mirror at hand. But, the downside of lip gloss is that the color fades quickly and if you're not wearing a lot of other makeup, then you look Plain Jane pretty quickly. And the more brightly colored lips I see on the red carpet, the more inspired I am to experiment with something a little more bold, a little more polished.

Malin Akerman's side-swept hairstyle is the perfect look to kick off our countdown! So easy to do, all you need is a boost of texture and volume from a product like Oribe's dry texturizing spray ($19.50), a deep side part, and a curling iron. Away-from-the-face styles are a great way to show off the newest spring beauty trends.

The Oscar nominee's polished pixie was as stunning on the red carpet as her fruit punch lip gloss and coral gown. For a platinum hue like Michelle's, give Garnier Nutrisse's color foam in Light Blonde a try. For less than $8, this at-home color deposits evenly around each strand of hair and doesn't drip!

We're starting to think Taylor Swift is as nice as she looks. The singer wore a piece from Kanye West's spring collection on the cover of Harper's Bazaar Australia, proving that all is forgiven between her and the rapper who rudely interrupted her MTV Video Music Awards acceptance speech back in 2009.

"For those who might wonder if the hatchet is buried between Taylor and Kayne West, following Kayne's outburst at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, well, there she is in our story (image 6) wearing a Kayne West top from his first collection."

Taylor drama aside, we're surprised to see Kayne's collection doing so well after all of the bad reviews he received in Paris last fall. However, fashion editor Christine Centenera, who styled the shoot, also consulted with Kayne on the collection. Are the release of these photos perfect timing or what? The

If you find your love life lacking lately, putting on a little red dress or even a red tee may be your answer.

A recent study by Adam Pazda, a psychologist at the University of Rochester in New York state, found that men rated women wearing red clothing as being more interested in sex.

Pazda thinks this reaction may be due to our biological makeup. When primate females become fertile, their estrogen levels peak, opening up their blood vessels and turning their faces bright red. Men associate a flushed complexion with fertilization and as the time to man up and go for it!

So if he thinks you're more open to the idea of sex, he's more likely to head over to your side of the bar and use one of those

Wrinkle eliminating lasers have been as popular at doctors' offices as botox and laser hair removal, and now PaloVia is bringing the same technology to your bathroom.
