Losing weight and finding your lips
We start off with “I can’t stand my Lips” segment, as we all want Angelina Jolie’s lips, but few have them. Makeup artist Mally Roncal is on hand once again to show women some tips and tricks to get lovely lips, without surgery or collegen which doesn’t look real at all.
Ann, 44, has always hated her thin lips that she feels just fade into her face without makeup. She wants a more professional appearance to help boost her confidence, and believes plumper lips would do that. Mally has her use a lip liner in the same shade as her lips to extend them in a natural way, then fills it all with a pink lip gloss. Mally points out that something with a bit of shimmer will help reflect the light and make the look fuller, fuller, fuller. Accentuate the look with a little more shine with Mally’s Light Wand on the bow of the lip and under the center near the bottom.
Lena is next up, and she thinks her lips woul be nice without the wrinkles around them. She’s a smoker, and older (46) and even her daughter tells her that her lipliner is too dark, and she feels like an old lady. Mally says shes making the problem worse by using too much foundation to fill in the wrinkles, insted enhancing them. She has her cover the skin around her lips with perfect Prep Poreless Primer, which is an invisible barrier that fills in the fine lines and wrinkles. A bit of natural liner, and thn Mally lip Illusion lipstick, which includes a highlight for the center of the lips. Top it off with lip gloss - but with caution, don’t go all the way to the edge where it could travel into the lines.
For Prudence, 45, she fees like she has no lips, without color and has even considered getting a tattoo so they’d always have color. Mally says it’s a common complaint, and recommends a lip stain instead of lipstick for a longer lasting color. It has more pigment and sticks to the lips. then linewith natural toned lip and lip tint. To choose the best color, pull down the bottom lip and match the stain to that color.
Next up, Rach talks about people being inspired to cook and eat, though she was shocked by a teenager who was inspired to exercise by the show. Miranda says that by the time she was 13, she weighd 186, and was being bullied so she was homeschooled. She lost her friends, and her body was failing her. One day she jumped on the treadmill, and lost 56 pounds in a year. She discovered the Rachael Ray show while she ran on the treadmill, and she was focused on being entertained instead of how tired she was, and also learned to cook and eat healthier.
She thought she’d get her friends back, but she feels more alone then ever. She looks up to Rachael, and her other favorite celeb is Amanda Bynes - and guess who gives her a surprise? It’s Amanda Bynes, as Room Service! Miranda is speechless, as Amanda says she’s inspiring, and Miranda says Amanda is her role mode. Amanda says she had bad acne when she was young, and knows how hard it is. Miranda is insecure, and says it’s hard feelin like people won’t like her. Amanda says it’s the attitude that needs changed - put out the positive vibes, and it’ll happen.
Amanda and Miranda join Rachael at the Kitchen Table and Rachel asks which one is the movie star? Ha! They want to help Miranda feel better on the inside. Miranda says that today has been amazing, to have her idol come and care about her when she doesn’t even know her was so amazing. Miranda thanks Rachael because without her show, she couldn’t have lost the weight, she couldn’t run 30 seconds before, and now runs for an hour easily. Rachael laughs and says she feels like a fraud a little, and will get on the tredmill and commit to getting healthier for Miranda, to be more like her.
Rachael wants to try and change a little bit of her low self esteem - some people in Miranda’s community are via video where a lot of people want to meet her, and the humane society want to meet her, as do the group at Culinary Kids, the Calvery outdoor club, and the Mayor declares it “Meet Miranda Month - get inspired, and Miranda, you go girl!” Rachael has the proclamation, and for the entire month, the entire city of Calgery is commanded to make friends with her. Aww! She also gets a copy of The Big Orange Book, and pots and pans to help keep her cooking on track.
Amanda sticks at the Kitchen Table, and says that she does like to go out on occasion now, she’s grown up, and has her priorities in order. She likes to look classy, and make sure she’s not the ‘norm’ for hollywood. She’s on the cover of Cosmo, which she admits was on of her dreams. Amanda is part of a new program, Break the Cycle - she is going to high schools in partner with Mary Kay to help end the cycle of teenage violence.
Next up it’s Survivor champion Ethan Zohn, who’s outside handing out today’s snack of the day, Native Yumberry Goji Currant Granola from Bear Naked. He’s currently kicking his soccer ball across the nation to raise money for his charity, and stopped by to pass out the snack on the streets.
Then it’s time for dinner - Spicy Chicken with Daes and Butternut Squash, with Citrus Couscous.
