Quick fix beauty tips

This fall, with the economy a mess, none of us are going to break our piggy banks, even if it means having a hot new wardrobe.

In comes Brooke Shields’ Healthy Upgrade Team. Brooke Shields, a legend in our time, and star of NBC’s hit show, Lipstick Jungle, heads a team of celebrity experts who can offer the insider star treatments and fall fashion tips but at half the cost. This team is made up of Stacey Griffiths, personal trainer to Brooke, Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman, and Dr. Michelle Dozier, a well-respected dentist who provides Brooke with tips on how to maintain a bright white and healthy smile. The third expert, Jeanne Yang, is the stylist to the stars, including Katie Holmes, with whom she started a clothing line.

A couple of their fall fashion tips are:

 These Boots Are Made For Walkin’
>> The low ‘shoe-booty’ is perfect as we transition from summer to fall, when the weather can be unpredictable.

Feed Your Shoe Addiction
>> ‘Shoe-booties’ can upgrade a dress or jeans into an edgy fall look and also avoids the commitment of having to buy a pair of long boots, which can be expensive.

Beauty Mojo with Jojoba Oil Benefits
>> Skip the weekly manicures and do an easy up-do in minutes.
>> Keeps cuticles soft so you can skip a few weeks between manicures and save a few bucks. It's an eye makeup remover. Soak a cotton pad or ball, and swipe over your eye shadow, liner, and mascara. Not only will your eye makeup be gently and completely removed, you'll find your lashes lush and conditioned, too. It's a hair conditioner and serum. Mix a few drops into your conditioner and rinse out. You can also put a couple of drops on your palm and apply to the ends of damp hair before blow drying - a great trick for soft strands. Or if your hair is looking dull, or frizzy, a little jojoba oil on the ends will smooth out the cuticle, making it look shiny and healthy. It's been said that the Incas used to massage jojoba oil frequently into their scalps, promoting thick and lustrous hair.
