You didn’t think you were the only one who had to lie on the bed to button your favorite jeans, did you? Most of us have had this lovely experience for much of our lives. Then there are times, like after a few weeks on The Belly Fat Cure, that the waistband of the same pair of jeans actually overlaps a few inches. But you don’t have to go buy new jeans – just apply the Perfect Fit Button to the waist of your jeans, and they’re adjusted to fit perfectly.

The Perfect Fit Button is a simple, easy to use little gadget that instantly lengthens or shrinks waistbands of almost any skirt or pants, and it gives a custom tailored look to suits. All you do is pierce the fabric with the shaft of the Perfect Fit Button, snap the special lock fastener on the back, take a deep breath . . . and smile. Your pants, skirts and suits suddenly fit great again, with no pinching or bagging.

There’s never before been anything like the innovative Perfect Fit Button, and that’s really too bad. Think of the time you’ve wasted being miserable, rolling around on the bed trying desperately to fasten your pants. Now what will you do for exercise?

No matter what you think of Paris Hilton, the girl looks good! You may believe her antenna doesn't pick up all the channels, but Paris can teach us all a thing or two about celebrity good looks, and here’s proof: the Paris Hilton Celebrity Styler.

The Celebrity Styler is a combination flat iron and curling iron all in one. When this technologically advanced device gently clamps a section of hair, the ceramic tourmaline barrel begins to rotate a hundred times per minute. As you pull the Styler through your hair, it becomes unbelievably manageable, silken and curled. Small combs separate hair evenly, and your hair is left with a fabulous shine. As another option, you may use the Celebrity Styler with the rotation stopped for the glossy-sleek look of flat ironing. The very coarsest and curliest hair is easily transformed, smooth and glowing with good health, using this device. In fact, the Celebrity Styler improves the health of each hair -- sealing the cuticle, protecting the shaft, and destroying bacteria -- while presenting you with salon perfection. This must-have beauty tool of the decade is so fast and easy to use that you’ll get out the door much faster than ever before!  

It’s very true that celebrity good looks aren’t everything – for most people, that is. You, in fact, have proven many times over that your clock has all its numbers -- so why not take a cue from the lovely Ms. Hilton and show off that brainy head in sleek celebrity style?
 

Not sure how it happened, but our eyelashes have gone invisible! So it’s no wonder Max Factor 2000 Calorie Extreme Lash Plumper Mascara is one of our very favorite beauty products. If you apply two thick coats to your lashes, it’s practically guaranteed that someone will ask if you’re wearing false eyelashes.

Lash Plumper contains two secret weapons -- a patented fat-inject formula and extreme Double-D brush that fatten every single lash perfectly, so lusciously full people will wonder if they are real. Your newly thickened, plumped lashes give you a look that is far from invisible. Lash Plumper is hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. It is smudge and smear-proof, and also available in waterproof.

But there’s always a catch, isn’t there? All Max Factor products will be in stores only through January (the brand is being phased out in the United States). So stock up now!

Looking for a “statement holiday gift”? You know, that special item that whispers, “I was purchased by a worldly individual with discriminating taste.”  And, then there is the added challenge of finding “worldly,” and, at the same time, “affordable” gifts without traveling the world. When selecting treasures for the first installment of our 2nd Annual Holiday Gift Guide, we used those parameters, and we focused on items that create internal conflict for the buyer… you know, like, “Do I really want to give this to Maggie or just keep it for myself?”
