Maria Sharapova Launches “Sugarpova” Candy (Yum!)

Aug 20, 2012 @ 6:00 pm

Maria Sharapova is ready to satisfy your sugar cravings! The tennis champ, who just scored a silver medal for Russia at the London Olympics and is prepping for the upcoming US Open, channeled her inner Willy Wonka and launched a colorful candy line named Sugarpova at Henri Bendel‘s Fifth Avenue flagship today. “I’ve always had a sweet tooth,” Sharapova (in custom David Koma) told InStyle.com. “I’ve been part of many great collaborations and fun collections, but I’ve never owned something, and I wanted to be involved 100%.” The line boasts 12 kinds of candy, from tennis ball-shaped gum balls to sour jelly lips, with cute names like Smitten and Quirky (the latter being her favorite, she told us, for its fun mix of licorice and marshmallow). Shop the sweets for $5 per bag, exclusively at Henri Bendel stores and on henribendel.com.

Fergie’s Wet N Wild Nail Polishes: See All the Colors!

Aug 20, 2012 @ 5:25 pm

Fergie’s new cosmetics for Wet N Wild are now in stores! While the singer’s first makeup line includes eye shadows, liners, and lipsticks, our favorite part of her collection is the high-octane nail polish. Many of the day-glo neons and edgy glitters are named after her songs (Tonight’s Gonna Be a Good Night and Glamorous, to name a few) and they are definitely for the daring, non-neutral nail polish lover. It is Fergie, after all! Preview the colors in the gallery, and pick one up for $4 each at a CVS or Walgreens store near you.

Downton Abbey: Watch a New Clip from Season 3

Aug 20, 2012 @ 4:55 pm

While Downton Abbey doesn’t return until 2013, PBS just released a new clip to hold fans over. In the season three teaser, the Granthams have a dinner discussion about the forthcoming arrival of Lady Cora’s mother, played by Shirley MacLaine. “I’m so looking forward to seeing your mother again, when I’m with her I’m reminded of the virtues of the English,” the Dowager Countess (Maggie Smith) quips to Lady Cora (Elizabeth McGovern). Matthew (Dan Stevens) then replies: “But isn’t she American?” “Exactly,” the Countess deadpans. View the entire clip above, then tune into PBS on January 6, 2013 for new episodes of the 16-time Emmy nominationed show.

Jennifer Lopez’s Hairstyle Inspiration: Her Day-to-Night Half-Updo

Aug 20, 2012 @ 3:45 pm

Break out the portable curling iron, because Jennifer Lopez is inspiring us all to use it! After enjoying a poolside bash at MGM Grand’s WetRepublic in Las Vegas with sleek strands pulled back halfway, she updated the look for an evening at Pure Nightclub at Caesars Palace by adding waves, curls, and volume. This is a quick modification any curler can take care of with ease. Our favorite is Remington’s Fierce Mini one-inch ceramic curling iron. It only takes a 60 seconds to heat up, and even comes with a heat-safe travel pouch so it can slip in and out of your purse with no problem. Find it for $13 at walmart.com.

Get the Look: Olivia Munn’s Polka Dot Manicure

Aug 20, 2012 @ 3:15 pm

Now that’s one way to mix prints! Olivia Munn’s look at the VH1 Do Something awards came full circle when she coordinated her polka dot manicure with her pink circle print Alice + Olivia dress. While the crisp pattern may look intimidating for nail art novices, all you need to nail the design are two lacquers and a dotter tool like Orly’s ($7; orlybeauty.com). Apply a few even coats of your base color and let it dry completely. Then, dip your dotter tool into your second shade and begin placing the spots, starting from your cuticle. Finish with a layer of clear top coat, and you’re ready for the spotlight.
