Isla Fisher debuted a fresh haircut at the Los Angeles premiere of husband Sacha Baron Cohen's new film, The Brothers Grimsby. It's been a while since we've seen the actress change up her cascading strands and we must say, we're pretty obsessed with her new look.

Her stylist Adir Abergel spontaneously took off a dramatic 10 inches, transforming her style into a long lob. "We did it last minute before she went on the red carpet, about 40 minutes before she left," Abergel told People StyleWatch. "It was my idea. I came in and she was like, 'What do you want to do this time?' And I said, 'Let's do it - let's chop it off!"

Isla's new midlength cut showcases her gorgeous color while making her mane look healthier, thanks to the freshly trimmed ends - just in time for Spring! For all you long-haired beauties interested in changing up your look for next season, consider Isla's cut the final push you needed. Check out more shots ahead.

What ingredients should you look for in an acne facial cleanser? This is a difficult question that so many people face. The key is to look for acne facial cleansers that contain salicylic acid, glycolic acid or benzoyl peroxide.

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

$
0

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Eyeshadow Palette ($34 at Sephora) is brand new for Summer 2016 and even though I really don't need another nude eyeshadow palette, I couldn't resist it because I'm such a sucker for anything "beach" themed. Also, this is a brand new eyeshadow formula for Tarte, so I was really curious to test it out and of course, share my thoughts on it with you guys. Let's take a look! 
Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Eyeshadow Palette Review
Description:  Define and defend lids from everyday aggressors with this eye shadow palette. Introducing plush shades in a velvety formula, they’re powered by tarte’s Rainforest of the Sea™ complex, formulated to hydrate and balance lids with a creamy powder is that is never drying or chalky. 
Each of the pigmented, blendable shades is a blend of liner, lid, crease, and highlight shadows in wearable mattes and metallics to define and contour your eyes. It includes a step-by-step guide to take your look from beachy bronze to a sea-inspired evening eye. 

Price/Where to Buy: $34 at Sephora.com (not yet in stores, arrives March 14). 

Quick Verdict: If you're not tired of neutral eyeshadows, this is definitely worth picking up!


Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Eyeshadow Palette
The Rainforest of the Sea Eyeshadow Palette comes in a pretty blue ombre box...a change from Tarte's regular purple packaging. Inside, the palette is a disk shape, similar to their Rainforest After Dark palette but it surprised me by being a whole lot smaller. It feels really heavy and expensive, and reminds me of an antique gold compact my grandma used to have. It's really well done and screams high-end...I absolutely love it. There's a really pretty sea-inspired design on top with swirls of gold, blue and purple, while the back and sides are a solid reflective gold color. 

The center of the disk contains the eight shade names, plus the name of the palette in the middle. In a way, it feels like a waste of space, and I think back to how the Rainforest After Dark palette had a blush in the center (and this one is already much smaller than that one). Still, that's my one and only gripe with the packaging...otherwise, it's perfection! 

Inside, there are eight nude shades, both warm and cool-toned, in matte and shimmer finishes. The official description above claims that the shimmer shades are "metallic" but the shimmer is actually really subtle and not overly sparkly. Some of the shades are even closer to satin in my opinion.

In a way, with a name like "Rainforest of the Sea" I would have liked to see some bolder, "tropical beach" shades mixed in such as turquoise, blues, and greens...I could definitely see Urban Decay doing something like that. But then again, Tarte is known for their timeless, wearable shades and I can't remember them doing a palette with anything other than neutral shades in recent memory. It's their niche, I guess! 

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Eyeshadow Palette
The new Rainforest of the Sea formula is unlike anything we've seen from Tarte. Gone is the drier more powdery Amazonian Clay formula that was always hit-or-miss...these are creamy, buttery, and richly pigmented. They have a soft, plush, velvety texture that is more reminiscent of Makeup Geek and Kat Von D's Metal Crush shadows...the finish just isn't as metallic as those are. 

They don't kick up any dust when you touch a brush to them, but if you dig in hard, they can flake off in tiny chunks, which is typical of this kind of soft velvety formula. Not a big deal for me at all, but I just wanted to point that out.

They pick up easily for the most part...I found the two matte shades, Cove and Sand to be a little more difficult to pick up but not terrible. All of the shades have a tendency to stick really well to your eyelids, even without any primer. The creamy formula is long-lasting (12 hours!) and didn't crease on me at all. These also get better the more you use them. After breaking through the initial top layer, they got even creamier and more pigmented. 

My favorite shade is probably Wave, which is a stunning bluish-gray shade depending on how the light hits it. I also use Seashell, Starfish, Cove, and Mermaid in most of my looks, with Sand as a the perfect browbone highlight shade.

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Eyeshadow Palette swatches

b Overall, this is a really beautiful collection of Spring and Summer earth tones that's just perfectly done. I'm not surprised that it currently has a 5 Star rating on Sephora.com...Tarte has really stepped it up with this new formula and the expensive-looking (and feeling) packaging is to-die-for. 

Even though I didn't need any more neutral eyeshadow palettes, I'm glad I picked this one up. I've been using it so much lately instead of my Naked Palettes. Seeing as how it's limited edition I plan to just enjoy it this Spring and Summer until it's gone. The smaller size makes it great for travel and it'll look right at home in my bedroom at the beach house this summer. Ah...I can't wait! 

You can grab yours now at Sephora.com and in Sephora stores March 14th.

Khloe Kardashian Just Revealed Her Entire Hair Removal Process

khloe-kardashian-hair-removal-tips

Even if Instagram and reality stars get to present a very pretty, very edited version of themselves to us most of the time, we gotta hand it to the ones who aren't too proud to admit that, hey, things get messy sometimes. That's more or less the case with one of Khloe Kardashian's recent blog posts, dedicated to all the hair removal processes she goes through to keep things smooth. The topic might not be as sexy as pillowy lips or perfectly tousled strands, but it's nothing if not relatable. "The shit we women have to deal with," she wrote. "We use creams, sugars, wax, razors, thread, and needles to get our hairy situations under control. WTF!"

It turns out Khloe's a fan of lasering for most areas, including her underarms, bikini zone, and legs. "It's so much easier than having to shave every single day," she wrote, saying sister Kylie comes along with her to get treatments at Sev Laser. For her brows, she relies on waxing, not threading (she's emphatic about that, saying "I don't thread because someone's saliva might be going on my face!").

This is not the first time we've loved Khloe's candor either. She just got real with us about injectables (she's the face of a new one aiming to combat double chins) and wrote an entire post about her camel toe, Camille. Thanks, Khlo!

Hayley Williams Will Help You Turn Into a Unicorn Just Like Her

Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams is going to make it that much easier for you to join #TeamUnicorn when she launches her own at-home hair color line, Good Dye Young. The project is completely self-financed, so you know it's authentic! The musician leads the pack when it comes to experimenting with rainbow rocker shades, so naturally the inspiration behind the collection was her own ever-changing locks.

"I wanted to take the intimidation factor out of doing hair at home," she told WWD. She hopes the offering will create an "all-inclusive counterculture that inspires creativity, community, and most of all, color. The definition of self-expression is when you wake up in the morning and ask, 'Who do I want to be today?'"

Hayley's go-to color guru Brian O'Connor and global marketing pro Erik Hoover (who has worked at Pantone, L'Oréal, and Tweezerman) helped develop the collection. It includes five vivid hues - Rock Lobster (red), Blue Ruin (blue), Ex-Girl (pink), Steal My Sunshine (yellow), Riot (orange) - all priced at $14 each. The formulas are nontoxic, fragrance-free, and vegan. Instructions on how to use the treatment are explained via kitschy cartoons. Hayley plans to expand the brand with more colors as well as a lightening bleach, reusable bowls, and a fader to create bespoke hues.

This is not Hayley's first time helping to make beauty products, as she worked with MAC Cosmetics in 2013.

While you have to wait until the products are for presale on April 15 and shipped in May, you can start planning your new Spring shade by scrolling through our 15 favorite hair moments from Hayley. Though she's known for vibrant orange, we saw sneaks of Smurf blue, algae green, and even blond.

How People Around The World Answer The Question: 'Who Is God?'

$

Who or what is God, to you?


That is the question people found themselves answering in "Street Spirituality: Who Is God," a new video produced by National Geographic. People from 22 countries, around the world, described what God is to them in the video, and the answers ranged from "a character in a book" to "whatever feeds and gives strength to each person."


Some people, in the video, gave answers like "love" and "everything," which HuffPost Religion has found to be among the most common descriptors used for God.


And while a single word or phrase can only scratch the surface of a person's multifaceted beliefs about the universe, the video is a sneak peek at a new show premiering April 3 on National Geographic Channel called, "The Story of God." In the show, actor Morgan Freeman, the host, travels around the globe, meets with people from different religious and cultural traditions and visits some of the world's most famous sacred sites. Each of the show's six episodes investigates a different subject, like miracles, the concept of evil and, of course, the many different perceptions of God.


"In some places I found answers, and others led to more questions," Freeman said in a press release for the show. "The constant through it all is that we’re all looking to be part of something bigger than us. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that we certainly are.”


Check out the National Geographic's video "Who is God?" above.

My Wife Speaks Out About Living With Bipolar

My wife, Chelsea, and I have been in love since we were 17. Ironically enough, when we first met each other we hated one another. Until we got paired together for a class project in high school and literally two weeks after that, I told her I loved her. Seven years later, on April 4, 2015 we FINALLY got married. We truly believe that there is that one person in life that you just get. You don't have to learn about them to decide if they're "the one". You simply know it from day one. We have so many strikes against us: we're young, same sex and interracial. But I refuse to believe in all the reasons it won't work, and believe in the one reason that it will -- because we love each other whole-heartedly. I am at my most complete with Chelsea in my life.

2016-03-03-1457024003-5147095-10013343_10153926625278313_6975877137901099323_n.jpg

We started a YouTube Channel to document our life and share our story in hopes that it will be an inspiration to others. Whether you're gay or not, we believe there is something in our story for everyone. Whether you've dealt with long distance, breakups, infidelity, we've experienced it all and here we are today, standing taller than ever before!

However, there's been a looming secret that my wife and I have pretty much kept for years. Chelsea has finally gathered the courage to speak out about her bipolar disorder.

Afraid of judgment and negativity, Chelsea has been nervous to speak out about her mental illness and draw in the stereotypes that are associated with people who suffer from mental illnesses. While many people suffer from anxiety, anxiety is only a small part of what Chelsea goes through on a daily basis. Please watch this video with an open mind and heart, as Chelsea opens up about what it's like to deal with bipolar disorder:



Too many people don't speak out about having a mental illness because no one wants the "crazy" label that comes along with it. Understandably, no one wants to feel judged... whether it's judgment from employers, your friends or even your family. People who suffer from mental illnesses are not crazy and cannot help having a mental illness anymore than you can help having two arms and two legs. It is not a "problem" to be solved, but an enigma to be understood.

Thank you for hearing our story, and we want to hear from YOU. Please let us know if you know anyone personally who suffers from a mental illness and what this article means to you. We feel this is something the world needs to better understand, and we want to pave the way for conversation around mental illnesses in young adults!

A Walk Through the Art Show and the Armory Show

Miro Studio Recreation

This week is Art Week in New York City, with a myriad of art fairs. The Art Show, organized annually by the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA), is the nation's longest running fine art fair. The Art Show takes place at the historic Park Avenue Armory at Park and 66th Street (be sure to look up, down and all around the armory as it has interesting artwork, architectural details and unique lighting in its own right) and runs through Sunday. Admission from The Art Show and proceeds from the Gala Preview benefit the Henry Street Settlement, one of New York's leading social service, arts and health care organizations. The Armory Show, a much larger event of national and international galleries with more than 200 exhibitors also runs through Sunday and is at Pier 92 and 94 (12th Avenue and 55th Street). The fair is in two sections, the Contemporary section is on Pier 94 with 149 dealers and the Modern section, art from the first two-thirds of the 20th century, is on Pier 92.

I have been attending both The Art Show and The Armory Show for many years and to me it seems that The Art Show has become more like the Armory Show in that there are more contemporary New York galleries exhibiting at The Art Show. I was pleased to see a number of very nice Edward Hopper watercolors at The Art Show but I think my favorite booth of both shows was the historically accurate reconstruction of Miro's studio in the Modern section of The Armory Show which included twenty-two paintings and drawings dating from the years Miro was working in the studio. As an artist I am very interested in the process, and it was very informative to see Miro's brushes (not the originals but copies), the paints and colors he used and the other objects that were in his studio in Mallorca. It helped me to have a greater appreciation of his work seeing the materials he used to produce them.

Miro's paints and brushes

Another of my favorite booths was Thaddaeus Ropac's "The Space Age", a group show. Personally this booth reminded me of my NASA experience as I have been commissioned four times by NASA to execute paintings of The International Space Station, The Columbia Tribute Painting (both on exhibit at the Kennedy Space Center and The Columbia Tribute commissioned as a response to the Columbia tragedy), the x-43 and The Discovery Shuttle Return to Flight. My painting of the x-43 was in a 12 museum Smithsonian Institution traveling exhibit, "NASA Art/50 Years" that concluded at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

As I have curated and hung many exhibits I am always interested to see how the artwork is presented. I found Two Palms' booth thoughtfully presented and stood out as a welcome oasis moving from booth to booth. Be sure to download a floorpan before you go, it makes navigation easier. I look forward to returning again this weekend for a second look.

Republican Voters Aren't Too Happy With Their Party Right Now

$

Republicans who don't support Donald Trump's presidential candidacy are horrified by his status as the GOP front-runner. Those who do support him are deeply mistrustful of the party establishment. The result? One increasingly unhappy party, according to a new HuffPost/YouGov poll.


This past October, Republican voters were bearish about their current elected officials and the future of the GOP, but overwhelmingly enthusiastic about their presidential candidates. In that poll, 80 percent pronounced themselves at least satisfied with the Republican primary field, surpassing the percentage of Democrats who said the same.


Since then, GOP morale has fallen substantially. While a majority still feel positively about their field of candidates, that percentage is down to 56 percent. Just 41 percent feel positively about the future of the party, and just 30 percent feel satisfied with their current officeholders. Only 11 percent believe the party is more united than it is divided.





That doesn't necessarily spell electoral trouble for the GOP. Fewer than 1 in 10 Republican primary voters say they'd opt for the Democratic candidate in the general election, regardless of who wins their party's nomination.


Republicans' views do, however, contrast sharply with opinions among Democratic voters, who remain largely optimistic about their party's future. Democrats' satisfaction with their presidential candidates has ticked up modestly since October. They're now 15 points more likely than Republican voters to be satisfied with their choices, instead of 14 points less likely to feel that way.


About three-quarters of Democrats continue to say they feel positively about their current elected officials and the future of the party, which most generally see as united.





Republicans have been deeply unhappy with their party for some time now, but until recently, much of that anger was focused on Washington, and on a Congress seen as both insufficiently conservative and capable of accomplishing nothing. Against that backdrop, GOP voters' enthusiasm for their 2016 field looked like a notable bright spot for the party. Now that's looking less and less like the case.





The HuffPost/YouGov poll consisted of 1,000 completed interviews conducted March 2-4 among U.S. adults, using a sample selected from YouGov's opt-in online panel to match the demographics and other characteristics of the adult U.S. population.


The Huffington Post has teamed up with YouGov to conduct daily opinion polls.You can learn more about this project and take part in YouGov's nationally representative opinion polling. Data from all HuffPost/YouGov polls can be found here. More details on the polls' methodology are available here.


Most surveys report a margin of error that represents some, but not all, potential survey errors. YouGov's reports include a model-based margin of error, which rests on a specific set of statistical assumptions about the selected sample, rather than the standard methodology for random probability sampling. If these assumptions are wrong, the model-based margin of error may also be inaccurate. Click here for a more detailed explanation of the model-based margin of error.

Erin Andrews Awarded $55 Million In Peeping Tom Lawsuit

A jury of five men and seven women decided on Monday to award Erin Andrews $55 million in her lawsuit stemming from a 2008 peeping Tom video of the sportscaster shot at the Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt University.


According to reporter Jesse Knutson, the jury found that the hotel operator, owner and the man who shot the videos, Michael Barrett, were all responsible.



The hotel operator, hotel owner, and Michael Barrett were all found at fault by the jury #ErinAndrews

— Jesse Knutson (@NC5_JKnutson) March 7, 2016



Andrews had filed a lawsuit for $75 million against the franchise owner of the Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt University, as well as the man who, in September 2008, shot the videos of her getting undressed through a hotel room peephole. She believed the hotel was negligent in allowing the man, Michael David Barrett, to select a room directly next to hers without notification.


In May 2011, Barrett was sentenced to 30 months in prison for stalking and for shooting the videos.


Andrews was brought to tears a number of times during court proceedings. During her testimony earlier in the week, while crying on the stand, the 37-year-old spoke about the toll the videos took on her psychologically, mentioning that she still switches rooms upon arriving at hotels and checks for "booby traps" and recording devices.


The defense insinuated at one point that the nude videos actually helped Andrews' career.



Marriott's defense just asserted Erin Andrews made more money in her career as a result of the Barrett stalker video going viral. Disgusting

— Exavier Pope (@exavierpope) March 1, 2016




@SI_PeterKing It's true. Watched her testimony, they tried to paint it like she's been able to capitalize on this, that it's been fruitful.

— Lindsey Thiry (@LindseyThiry) March 1, 2016



On the fourth day of the trial, a computer expert estimated that the nude videos of Andrews had been seen about 17 million times since July 2009.
