Emmys 2009 Beauty: Blake Lively

For the 2009 Emmy Awards, celebrity hairstylist Renato Campora was inspired by the modernity and elegance of Blake Lively's red Versace gown. He created a goddess style, braided updo using products by Frederic Fekkai.

To get the look, Renato started out by applying Fekkai Coiff Strong Hold Volume Mousse onto wet hair. Next he blow-dried the hair smooth and applied the Fekkai Coiff Extra Control Styling Gel to prep the hair. He then teased all the hair and pulled it up into a high ponytail. By adding some hair extensions to the ponytail, he created extra length for a more dramatic look.

Afterward, he braided the entire ponytail and fastened at the end. Campora finished by applying Fekkai Coiff Magnifique Ultra-Light Finishing Creme throughout the entire look for a smooth and sleek effect.

I Wanna Rock: Vera Wang Rock Princess

Earlier this year, Vera Wang added a new heir to the Princess throne.

Rock Princess - with notes of peach, raspberry, bergamot, heliotrope, rose, jasmine, lily, cashmere wood, musk, iris and coconut - is like Princess' badass lil sis.

I don't know why Gossip Girl's Taylor Momsen isn't the face of this fragrance. I can totally picture her misting it on post-kohl eyeliner and pre-leather jacket.

Limited time beauty bonus: Buy the 3.4 oz Rock Princess Eau de Toilette Spray at Sephora.com and receive a free Rock Princess gift set. Enter promo code ROCKPRINCESS at checkout.

Recessionista's Fabuless Pick of the Week: eos Lip Balm Smooth Spheres

If the thought of sticking your bacteria-laden fingers in a pot of lip balm/gloss doesn’t appeal to you, I have an excellent (and economical) solution.

New Lip Balm Smooth Spheres from eos have this cool, ergonomic packaging that bridges the gap between high-end lip balms and chapsticks. And the USDA certified organic formula is enriched with hydrating ingredients (Vitamin A, shea butter, and jojoba oil). Available in three delish flavors (Summer Fruit is my fave…and it’s pink, natch), these balms will only set you back a couple of bucks.

I love 'em. Chuck Bass loves 'em. You (and your wallet) are gonna love 'em too!

Lip Balm Smooth Spheres are now available at evolutionofsmooth, drugstore.com and will soon be available at Walgreens (July), Rite Aid (July), SpaceNK (August) and Duane Reed (August).

MTV Movie Awards 2009 Makeup: Leighton Meester

For the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, CoverGirl makeup artist Molly R. Stern created a sexy and edgy look for Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester. "She wanted to look like herself while celebrating the rock ’n roll spirit of the night," says Molly.

"I started by basing her skin with Cle de Peau's new Cream Foundation in O20. For her blush, I used Shiseido's Accentuating Powder Blush in Glistening Brown."

"On her eyes, I based them with Vincent Longo's Liquid Eyeshadow in Midnight Mauve. Over that, on the inside lid into the crease, I dusted NARS Night Clubbing glittery powder eyeshadow. Inside her eye both bottom and top, I lined her eyes with CoverGirl Exact Eyelights Brightening Liner in Vibrant Pearl (NEW from CoverGirl, hitting shelves in late July!!). Her mascara is CoverGirl LashBlast Luxe in Black Emerald. And to finish the look, she is wearing CoverGirl Outlast Lipstain in Cinnamon Smile."

Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester Goes Blonde

Did you know that Leighton Meester was a blonde before auditioning for Gossip Girl? She dyed her hair before scoring the career-launching role of Blair Waldorf, Queen Bee of NYC’s Upper East Side. “That's a big deal but I'm glad I did”, Leighton once said.

But, from the looks of these recent pics, Leighton has gone back to her roots.

So how do we like our beloved Blair as a blonde?
