The drugstore product that I've been using forever is:

Neutrogena Moisture Shine Lip Gloss, $4.99

People might be surprised to know that my secret beauty weapon is:
Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Facial Cleanser, $7.09. It keeps my skin clear and I just love the grapefruit scent!

My favorite skincare product/trick is:
Using mineral makeup. It looks so natural and keeps my skin healthy. You can even sleep in it in a pinch!

The best hair care is:
Neutrogena Triple Moisture Daily Deep Conditioner, $5.80
keeps my hair soft and smooth

I never travel without:
My laptop

My fashion staple is:
A Mike and Chris leather hoodie. It's not heavy or constricting and it makes everything look cooler. I also love fun, boho dresses, and I love a shop in LA called Planet Blue.

My latest shoe obsession is:
I am obsessed with Christian Louboutins! I love heels. And slouchy, flat boots. They're practical and cute!

The biggest beauty risk I have ever taken is:
Honestly, I'm not a huge risk taker when it comes to beauty. But I do like experimenting with bright makeup colors.

What makes you feel your best?
My Maltese poodle, Shadow!

I feel most stylish when I'm wearing:
A beautiful dress toughened up with something like biker boots or a leather jacket.

"The angularity of Obama's brows was lending a look of intensity that some pundits, such as Bill O'Reilly, construed as anger or severity on the campaign trail," wrote Wendy Donahue in this week's Chicago Tribune. Donahue and others have noted a softer shape to Obama's eyebrows in recent weeks -- perhaps a response to that criticism.

Liz Taylor's lush brows were always expertly tweezed and trimmed, and at the time, her low arch and tapered line was considered the height of glamor. To get a similar look, use an eyebrow pencil to create a rounded, square shape at the beginning of the brow, (very) slightly overdraw your own natural line, and extend the ends with tiny strokes by a centimeter or two.

"High School Musical" star Zac Efron's bushy eyebrows are always stringently maintained, likely inspiring other men to learn how to use a new tool: the tweezers. Still, not everyone appreciates his hirsute look. (There's even a Facebook group called "Zac Efron's Eyebrows Are Disturbing.")

Burlesque star Dita von Teese's eyebrows are as theatrically vintage as the rest of her pin-up girl accoutrements. The siren is never seen with a hair out of place. And really, only a perfectionist could consistently achieve her movie-screen-perfect brows.

Brooke Shields' eyebrows have become almost as famous as the actress. When the future Calvin Klein model became a young star in the 1980s, her wildly untamed brows helped sparked the thick, bold look that became de rigeur during the decade, and propelled her to icon status.

2009 is shaking out to be a dynamic and exciting year -- but what to wear? Let astrology reveal your best wardrobe choices for the year ahead, and keep you both current and true to your Sun sign's fashion strengths!

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

The military-style jacket is your hot look for 2009, Aries. Despite being ruled by warrior Mars, you'll be welcome at peace rallies in this new version - it's pure fun. This cocky, Sergeant Pepper-inspired look comes in punchy colors like orange, red and electric blue, each festooned with gold buttons. Whether form-fitting or slouchy, pair it with a t-shirt, tight pants and boots.

Reese Witherspoon (an adorable Aires), is one of the many celebs who could don these colorful faux fatigues and spruce up their 2009 red carpet looks.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
It isn't always easy to find a look that serves both your romantic and practical needs, Taurus, but you've hit the jackpot in 2009! Delight your ruling planet, Venus, with a techno romantic dress in the colors of love -- pale pink, faded violet, milky white -- paired with a cracked leather belt to give it an edge. Or top a pair of cuffed trousers with a pale, sheer blouse, and add a tailored jacket and chain-link necklace.

Rory Beca Cary Peasant Dress with Suede Belt $363

Audrey Hepburn, a Taurus and a fashion icon, put capri pants in the fashion Hall of Fame by fearlessly pairing romantic and practical pieces. Do the same in 2009 and be unforgettable.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
2009 is the year to show off your gorgeous gams, Gemini, in the abundance of fabulous new bright, printed and textured tights. Choose a pair in a knock-'em-dead color like teal, top with a simple knit dress or tailored suit, then add a splashy, multi-colored knit scarf that picks up the same shade of blue. Or honor your playful Mercury ruler with exotic, tattoo-printed tights under a short skirt!

We Love Colors Diamond Tights $14

Gemini Naomi Campbell loves to show off her mile-long legs in colorful tights. We say good for her - flaunt 'em if you've got 'em!

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
You're a bohemian at heart, Cancer, and the Folk-Boho trend of 2009 is perfect for you. The difference between these folksy styles and those of the past is luxury fabrics like silk charmeuse and wool jersey. Please your feminine Moon ruler with a glammed-up peasant blouse and mid-calf, flouncy skirt with fringed leather boots, then top with a velvet jacket, gold chunky jewelry and metal-studded belt.

T-Bags Neve Deep V Dress $238

Leo (July 23 - August 22)
The jewel-encrusted look that suits you so well, Leo, has gotten brighter, bolder and more elegant for 2009. You'll find knee-length, fitted skirts entirely covered in metallic jewels and studs, which look fantastic with a simple, sheer blouse and heels. The Sun, your queenly ruling planet, will shine forth beautifully in an Egyptian-style tunic dress or bold collar necklace fit for Cleopatra herself.

Natalie Portman: "Wow, I'm like, sad."

Natalie Portman expressed sadness that Te Casan, home of her vegan shoe line, has shuttered their shop. It's another sign of the tough times that so many retailers, and designers, are facing in the constricting economic climate.

She's not the only celebrity designer who might have to set up a table at the local farmer's market. Victoria Beckham's line has seen many troubled days, and Heidi Montag, that useless reality show blond (no, not Lauren Conrad, the other one who's still a woof-woof even after her well-documented plastic surgeries) had her line Heidiwood, discontinued. Even celebrity designer royalty like Sarah Jessica Parker is feeling the "bite" with her line, Bitten, looking for a new home now that Steve & Barry's has filed for bankruptcy.

What do other celebrities think when their fellow designers run into money trouble? In the gallery, some celebrity designer reactions to Te Casan's demise.

Sarah Jessica Parker: "Join the club!"

Bitten, SJP's affordable styles were distributed exclusively through Steve & Barry's, who recently announced they were closing their stores. Parker vowed to find a new home for the line.

Jennifer Lopez: "Ha! I told you to use fur."

Lopez has come under fire (from those nutty PETA folk) for her use of fur and leather. But the Sweetface line continues to thrive, and no sign of her empire slowing down.

Getty Images

Lindsay Lohan: "Why are you talking to me? Leggings are totally different!"

Despite predictions that her over the top leggings built in knee pads anyone? -- Lindsay's 6126 line, inspired by Marilyn Monroe who never wore leggings, (Lindsay: We don't know that!) has been a raging success.

Getty Images

Chloe Sevigny: "Bwhahahahahahahaha!"

Quirky and eccentric are probably the two words most used to describe the daring Chloe Sevigny. Whether it's "simulating" oral sex on screen, or wearing more than one strong plaid at a time, Chloe is anything but shy.

Getty Images

Victoria Beckham: "It's just her, right? No one else? Not yet, anyway?"

Victoria's live DvB has seen it's share of ups and downs. Amid rumors of deep discounts and discontinuations, Mrs. Beckham keeps muddling through. Cripes, it's not like she needs the money.

Getty Images

Lauren Conrad: "I wish you would stop calling me Heidi."

Conrad's line of blah dresses at ridiculous prices somehow continues to survive. But we suspect that the onslaught of copies by Forever 21 and H&M will eventually erode away what little profit the Lauren Conrad Collection ever made.

Getty Images

Sienna Miller: "What does vegan mean? Is that like lesbian?"

Twenty8twelve, the line by Sienna and her sister, continues to be available, but the buzz has died down considerably in the past few months perhaps because of Sienna's constant "Homewrecker" headlines. Or maybe because skulls are so, like, five years ago.

Getty Images

Kimora Lee Simmons: "GIRL! GET OVER HERE! I'LL HELP YOU!"

The Baby Phat designer has more than proven she knows what her audience wants, and she knows how to give it to them. Smart partnerships, like with Hello Kitty, should further secure the future of her company. As long as she doesn't go spending it all on hair product and belts.

Getty Images

Heidi Montag: "Do I look pretty from this angle? Well how about this one? Wait, maybe this one!"

For some inexplicable reason, this creature will not go away. Her fashion line, Heidiwood, (eyeroll) was discontinued because the parent company was going in a "different direction." Presumably that direction was somewhere like, east tasteful, west wearable or north not-so-slutty. Can someone tell her to go home now?

On January 20th 2009, Barack Obama will be sworn in as our 44th President -- instantly becoming one of the most significant leaders in United States history. What will he say? How will he act? And, most importantly, what will Michelle wear?

Style bible Women's Wear Daily has been wondering the same thing, and enlisted the world's most prominent designers to sketch ideas for the future First Lady. Check out our favorites from the American designers.

Women's Wear Daily

Purple is undoubtedly the "it" color of the season, and Isaac Mizrahi offers a fashion-forward option that (at least to us) seems the most in keeping with what Michelle normally wears. Bonus points for offering options for Sasha and Malia, too!

Women's Wear Daily

Regal, elegant and timeless -- a stunning formal gown from Michael Kors.

Women's Wear Daily

The First Family would certainly be the center of attention in Oscar de la Renta's trio of red, white and blue confections.

Women's Wear Daily

Peter Som channels Jackie K. to offer Michelle O a totally timeless, utterly sophisticated "winter white" gown.

Women's Wear Daily

The President-elect has sworn to work closely with both parties to unite the country. And with Reem Acra's brash, take-no-prisoners gown in Republican red, his wife could show her support for that agenda on her first night as First Lady.

Women's Wear Daily

Tracy Reese suggests a delightfully elegant, classically feminine gown for the lady of the hour.

Women's Wear Daily

Betsey Johnson's gown gives a nod to her punk-rock sensibility, while boldly embracing the patriotism of the occasion.

Women's Wear Daily

A marked contrast from Betsey's in-your-face, inauguration-ball bananza is an ultra-refined evening gown by Diane Von Furstenberg.

The Four Christmases had its Hollywood premiere last night, and plenty of A-List stars showed up looking hot and full of holiday spirit. Sissy Spacek, on the other hand, looks like she just rolled out of bed on Christmas morning. Why she opted for PJs on the red carpet, we'll never know.

Read on for more missteps and style successes.

Reese Witherspoon, one of the stars of Four Christmases, is stunning as always.

Jon Favreau, another star of the film, went for the cool, casual look.

Karina Smirnoff blows a kiss to the crowd as she sparkles in this adorable blue dress.

Minnie Driver sticks to her traditional (and often unfortunate) boots and dress combo.

Getty Images

Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen go for a more classic, sophisticated approach, and look absolutely fabulous.

Getty Images

Katy Mixon, another Four Christmases cast member, take a risk in this bold pink dress, but her overwhelming cuteness helps her pull it off.

Getty Images

For some reason Kristin Chenoweth decided she'd come dressed as a giant present -- unfortunately Halloween was last month.

True Bella is totally adorable, as always.

True's fellow child actor Zak Boggan is suave beyond his years in this dressy-yet-casual ensemble.

One thing the economy isn't affecting? Celeb's access to the season's hottest handbags. But since the rest of us are feeling the pinch in our own pocketbooks, Stylelist asked Pam Peckerman to hunt down similar bargain bags that will help you look chic but feel smart.

SF/ PCC / Splash News | CLP/Finalpixx.com

This is jet-set style done right. Eva Mendes sizzles in head-to-toe Burberry, including a stunning, hardware detailed shoulder bag, that looks like it's held together with staples.

Burberry Stitched Lowery, $3,195, www.burberryusa.com.

CLP/Finalpixx.com

The chain-link detailing on this chocolate-colored hobo evokes the hardware seen on Eva's breathtaking Burberry bag, but in much smaller doses. It is however, is big enough to serve as your hand-held bag while traveling. Remember, the more you can fit in your carry on, the lighter your luggage (and the less you have to spend on it) during holiday travels.

Chinese Laundry Hobo, $96, www.chineselaundrybags.com.

How did new mom Ashlee Simpson keep her boho chic style in the last days of her pregnancy? By evoking retro-70's cool with a suede fringe hobo.

Stuart Weitzman Fringe Hobo, $745, www.stuartweitzman.com.

Clint Brewer, Splash News

The fringe trend comes and goes, so there's no need to break the break on this look, instead steal Ashley's style with this fun, faux option. Aside from the sweet price, this shoulder bag also has shorter fringe so it will work on any woman's arm, irregardless of height. Ashley's hobo, on the other hand, is not for those us that are vertically challenged.

Melie Bianco Lace Fringe Hobo, $79.99, www.fashionflairs.com.

Katy Perry was spotted in Sydney -- no, not kissing a girl! The singer was promoting her latest CD and she was carrying a bold, electric blue satchel. She paired it with a floral print dress and ruby-red shoes. We recommend letting the brightness of the bag stand on its own.

Mulberry Small Mabel Bag, $695, www.mulberry.com.

Buckle-up for some fashion fun. Add a splash of excitement to your usual corporate attire by pairing it with this blue satchel.

Who says stars won't be seen in the same outfit twice? Eva Longoria loves her Gerard Darel shoulder bag so much, she brings it everywhere. Darel is a French designer whose slouchy leather bags are coveted by fashion insiders and a slew of celebs, including Longoria, Halle Berry, Cameron Diaz and Jessica Alba.

Bianco Green Triple Pocket Hobo, $75, www.fashionflairs.com.

It's only appropriate that our favorite girl-next-door, Jen Garner, is sporting a classic American brand. Her Coach bag has a timeless appeal and is worth the investment.
