[Archive]: Want Lucious Lips à la Angelina?

Angelina lip glossing at The Globes

Of course you do! Well, join the queue, ladies! While full lips like Angie’s may well be the envy of many, and, seemingly down to brilliant genetics, which you just can’t buy these days; aside from pricey (and scary!) filler injections, just how can you emulate Ms. Jolie?

Enter: Chantecaille. Specifically, its Brilliant Gloss in shade Love. For this is what you need to invest in, if you want to go all copycat kitten on La Jolie’s smackers. After being spotted at the Golden Globes on Sunday (January 16) night applying her lip gloss mid-ceremony, the one question on everyones’, eh, lips, was, surely, “What magical lip boosting potion lies therein?” And, her make-up artist, Toni G., has come up trumps, telling us that this  — Chantecaille’s Brilliant Gloss in Love — is Angie’s go-to shade for days spent on movie sets and nights swishing down red carpets. According to Toni, the gloss “maintains lip moisture and is fresh and sexy.”

Sounds good to us!

The shade retails for $28, but is currently sold out on Chantecaille’s website, no doubt in part due to Jolie-lip-emulating-fever, however is sure to be restocked soon to service the inevitable surge of demand brought by Angelina’s Golden Globe glossing. However, you can find similar Chantecaille products here.

Update (November 17, 2012): Chantecaille’s Brilliant Gloss in Love is now available on Chantecaille’s website, however, it has increased in price from $28 to $33, which corresponds to a hefty18% price hike. Seems like The Jolie’s lips are worth big (lip) glossing bucks.

[Archive]: Modern Family Actress Sofia Vergara Engaged

Bad news, boys –- Modern Family actress Sofia Vergara is seemingly off the market. The Columbian-born star of the small screen has reportedly become engaged to on-off beau, businessman Nick Loeb.

Sofia, who is currently holidaying in the Rosewood Mayakoba resort, Riviera Maya, Mexico; with a bevy of 90 pals, including fellow Modern Family actresses Julie Bowen (Claire Dunphy) and Sarah Hyland (Haley Dunphy), and of course other half Nick Loeb; is there to celebrate quite a milestone –- her 40th birthday (and is seriously looking amazing, majorly thinking of investing in some Covergirl now to emulate her gorgeous glow — if only I could get my pale, distinctly non-glow-y, grubby mitts on it in Ireland!).

However, rumours abound that the Latino lovely was perhaps celebrating in the double when ex-colleague and friend, Fernando Fiore –- they’re both former hosts of show Fuera de serie -– tweeted a picture of himself alongside Ms. Vergara, who was sporting an altogether conspicuous, shiny sparkler on her ring finger. According to reports, boyfriend Loeb popped that all-important question at Chichen Itza, an area of ancient Mayan ruins.

Vergara, who currently plays sassy trophy wife Gloria Delgado-Pritchett to Ed O’Neill’s Jay Pritchett, on the hit US comedy Modern Family; met her rumoured now-fiance at a Golden Globes shindig in 2010. They are said to have a fiery relationship, with one source (possibly exaggerating ever-so-slightly) claiming that the twosome have broken up and reconciled “over a million times”.

The pair split, seemingly for good, briefly this May; however were spotted back together, hand in hand as early as June. Sofia has been a wedded woman once before, becoming a young wife to teenage love, Joe Gonzalez, in 1990. Their marriage was not to last though, hitting the skids in 1993. They are parents to son Manolo, who was born in 1992.

Are you happy for Sofia? Sad that you won’t get a chance with the sultry star? Tweet me all about it @aprilbarry101
