Less vs. Luxe Lipsticks...Get The Look For Less in Makeup! Yay!

Now of course I am a high end makeup junkie...but don't think I dont love a good deal! Especially in these times of economic turmoil. Here we asked celebrity makeup artists Molly Stern and Fiona Stiles to share their favorite lipstick look-a-likes -- and they delivered exact shade and texture matches (no one will be able to tell the difference). Now you can get the look of a Chanel lipstick and still afford a night out.

Red:

Luxe: Chanel Rouge Hydrabase in Fire, $28.50

Less: Styli-Style Hipstick in Happy, $8.49

"A fun, slightly iridescent red that can pass for the Chanel version. It even has the little bit of gold fleck in it. The one by Styli-Style is less emollient, but you'll get a lot of bang for your buck," says Stiles.

Nude:

Luxe: Givenchy Rouge Interdit in Only Beige, $26.50

Less: Napoleon Perdis NP Set Lipstick in Washington, $15

"I am always on the quest for the perfect beige lipstick," says Stiles. "This one by Napoleon Perdis is a great color and a perfect texture. The glossiness and warmth of the color prevents you from looking too washed out, which matte beiges can do."

Rose:

Luxe: Benefit Benetint Lip Balm, $20

Less: Flirt! Tint-a-Licious Lip Sheer in Lover, $10

"Benetint is such a great color and I love that it's sheer and just a little glossy," says Stiles. "This sheer bright pink from Flirt! is a really close match to the Benefit. Sheer brights are so modern and a great way to wear color."

Plum:

Luxe: Giorgio Armani Sheer Lipstick in Plum, $25

Less: CoverGirl TruShine Lip Color in Plum Shine, $5.66

"I love Armani lip colors. All consistencies. I find their sheer and cream [formulas] are very similar to the formula of CoverGirl's TruShine Lip color," says Stern.

Deep Red:

Luxe: Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey, $14

Less: Neutrogena MoistureShine Soothing Lip Sheers in Ruby Bliss, $8.99

"Black Honey by Clinique has been on the best seller list years," says Stiles. "Ruby Bliss by Neutrogena is a great, affordable version. The sheer color makes you look polished, but doesn't feel too lipstick-y."

Peach

Luxe: Yves Saint Laurent Gloss Pur in Pure Coral, $29

Less: CoverGirl Amazemint Lip Gloss in Freedom of Peach, $5.79

"I am a huge fan of YSL's Gloss Pur, however [also like] the similar finish of CoverGirl's Amazemint Lip Gloss," Stern says.

Pale Pink:

Luxe: Cle de Peau Lip Gloss in No. 11, $47

Less: L'Oreal Paris Bare Naturale Gentle Lip Conditioner in Soft Bloom, $8.96

"This is such a sophisticated color for a drugstore lip gloss. It has a little iridescence but isn't super sparkly," Stiles says. "It's a beautiful sheer color that doesn't taste like candy! A huge bonus."

Pink:

Luxe: Lipstick Queen Sinner Pink, $18

Less: CoverGirl Incredifull Lipcolor in Warm & Rosy, $6.99

Stiles found these two to be near-perfect matches. T

Copper

Luxe: Nars Lipstick in Kiss, $24

Less: Boots No7 Stay Perfect Lipstick in Velvet Kiss, $9.99

Both lipsticks have a burnt copper shade and the Boots No7 has the advantage of being long-lasting. TotalBeauty.com member 51lincoln says, "I am typically not a fan of long wear but when I need something that lasts 4+ hours I wear this."

Sparkly Pink:

Luxe: Lancome Juicy Tubes Sparkling Night in Sky Diamond, $18

Less: Mark Juice Gems in Juicy Cherry Pop, $6

The packaging of these two glosses is practically identical, so it makes sense that the texture and color are similar too. The difference? The Mark gloss looks red in the tube but goes on like a deeper, sheer pink. The Lancome gloss goes on sheer as well, but the shade is true to the way it looks in the tube.

The Look For Less - Nicole Ritchie's Look For Less

Yesterday I did a very casual look for less that can be easily done for much cheaper. Today I am following that trend with Nicole Ritchie. She has come a long way when it comes to style. Does anyone else remember her back in the Simple Life days? Wow, that was some bad fashion. Now she is more reserved, classy and casual. Check out this look below:

Sephora by OPI - New Nail Polish by OPI!

As the world leader in professional nail care, OPI is known by manicure mavens everywhere for its fashion-forward nail lacquers and clever shade names. In a highly anticipated beauty union, Sephora has partnered with OPI to create SEPHORA by OPI, a collection of nail colours, hand treatments, and nail care products by OPI, available exclusively at Sephora stores in the U.S. Now you can stock up on your must-have OPI nail colours while shopping for all your beauty essentials at the world's leading beauty authority—Sephora.

Fashion Week is Upon Us - And This is the Scoop on Day 1

As you may or may not know, Fashion Week has begun. Right now I am gonna give you the breakdown of the first two days we have been through. It's really been a rush so I am gonna report on what you have missed out on so far :-)

This post is all about the celebrities who showed and shined. Cuz come on, isn't that what we most care about? Yeah we love fashion but how many of us are gonna wear a feather-pleather-cotton shirt dress that costs 3,000.00? Didn't think so. But I will be posting about some of my favorite runway shows later.

Nastia Liukin, Adrianne Palicki, Amanda Bynes and Katrina Bowden

Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin and actresses Adrianne Palicki, Amanda Bynesand Katrina Bowden flashed their perfect smiles and long loose curls at the BCBG Max Azria show. "I'm not one of those women who has been obsessed with fashion since she was a little girl," said Friday Night Lights star Palicki (second from left). "It's something that I'm learning to appreciate—especially now that I have to think about how I look every time I leave the house!"

Becki Newton

Becki Newton raised a glass to toast Martini & Rossi's new sparkling rose during a "suite party" at the W New York. "I am going to keep a few bottles in my dressing room for post-filming toasts," said the Ugly Betty star, who brought along her brother Matt for the afternoon affair.

Rachel Zoe, Lake Bell, Jimmy Fallon and Rose Byrne

Jimmy Fallon gave his approval of the street-chic pieces that came down the catwalk atRag & Bone. "The clothes were very cool and British," raved the funnyman, who sat front row between Lake Bell and Rose Byrne. "Often, some things are too fashion-y, but Rag & Bone goes classy." Also admiring the label's tailored vests and tuxedo jackets was star stylist Rachel Zoe, who declared that she's excited the menswear-inspired trend is still strong for fall. "[My husband] and I can share clothes!" she joked.

Whitney Port

The City's Whitney Port was among the it girls who lined up for a first chance to nab items from the new McQ Alexander McQueen for Target collection, held at St. John's Center. In addition to some V.I.P. shopping, Port and fellow guests Michelle Trachtenberg, Brittany Snow and Amanda Bynes were treated to a performance by The Duke Spirit.

Lindsay Lohan

Before taking her front row seat—and causing a flashbulb frenzy—at the Charlotte Ronson show, Lindsay Lohan stopped by the DJ booth to greet the designer's sister, Samantha. Wearing a look from Ronson's Fall 2009 collection, and Louboutins, Lohan called Charlotte's collection "eclectic."

Roberto Cavalli and Padma Lakshmi

Top Chef beauty Padma Lakshmi joinedRoberto Cavalli at his Madison Avenue boutique to celebrate the launch of the designer's latest creative venture—the launch of fashion photographer Michael Roberts'Fighters and Flowers. The book marks the 10th anniversary of Cavalli's menswear line through the visual story of bare-handed Brazilian fighters.

Molly Sims

Fresh off a flight from L.A., Molly Sims lent a helping hand in the DJ booth at the Next Models 20th anniversary party, held at N.Y.C. hot spot Marquee. "I've been with Next for 15 years," said the model-turned-actress, who who joined fellow beauty Joy Bryant at the Artistry cosmetics-hosted bash, "I owe them everything—from my first runway job to mySports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover."

The Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection Fashion Show

Daisy Fuentes

Daisy Fuentes (in a red chiffon Pamella Roland gown) was one of the many stars, including Hilary Duff, Jennie Garth andAmanda Bynes, who helped kick off New York Fashion Week at the Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection Fashion Show. The annual show helps raise awareness for heart disease and also raises money by auctioning off many of the dresses with Clothes Off Our Back.

Hilary Duff

"This is the first year I've been able to do the show and I'm so honored," said Hilary Duff, who worked a trip down the Red Dress catwalk into her "girls' trip" to N.Y.C. with her mom. "I'm wearing Donna Karan. I designed a line for DKNY so we've become good friends." How will Duff prepare for the big walk? "I say a little prayer before I go out there," she said.

Amanda Bynes

Amanda Bynes showed off her gorgeous gams in a satin Swarovski minidress (with a Daniel Swarovski belt) and a pair of towering Yves Saint Laurent platform heels. "I feel sexy and I'm very excited to get out there!" the actress exclaimed.

Jennie Garth

"I've been a supporter of the American Heart Association for a long time, so when they asked, I got on a plane," said 90210 starJennie Garth, who made a quick trip across the country to walk in the show. Did she have a hand in choosing her Badgley Mischka dress? "No, they sent me something wonderful and it fit. I believe that things like that just fall into place," she said.

The Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection Fashion Show

Tori Spelling

"Christian Siriano is using jewelry from my line in his show, so I'll be there," said Tori Spelling, who got a last-minute hair touch-up from pal Jennie Garth before hitting the runway. How did the 90210 actress feel in her Betsey Johnson dress? "Flirty!" Spelling declared.

The Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection Fashion Show

Brittany Snow

"It's nice to be involved with this because not only do you get to wear a beautiful dress and be a model for a day, but you're also helping to serve a purpose," said Brittany Snow, who wore Marchesa on the runway.

The Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection Fashion Show

Kristi Yamaguchi

"I just did a rehearsal and the catwalk is SO big! I'm a little nervous," said Kristi Yamaguchi, who claimed that her years as an Olympic figure skater did little to prepare her for her first runway show. One thing Yamaguchi didn't have to worry about was her dress. "Vera Wang designed my wedding dress, so she knows what looks good on me," Yamaguchi said.
