Say good-bye to caked-on make-up!

Its almost transparent concealer, lightweight pressed powder and blush, and comb mascara work wonders for the complexion. And there’s no need to worry about matching the make-up to your skin, because the product miraculously works equally well with every tone. We can’t get enough of it! Best of all, Cargo’s blu_ray make-up is completely affordable! Get the whole line for just $59 (a $133 value!) at sephora.com.

As much as we fantasize about having our own personal hairstylist on call to give us professional blow-outs just like our favorite celebs, we’re guessing that probably won’t become a reality any time soon. Next best thing? Becoming our own! And our friends at BellaSugar have made that task a little bit easier with four essential products to let us get a professionally styled look without ever leaving the front door.

Botkier have been a celebrity — and StyleWatch — favorite since its inception five years ago. From the arms of Rihanna, Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan, Heidi Klum, Joy Bryant, Kate Bosworth and more, the leather bags, designed by New York native Monica Botkier, are a perfect mix of urban chic and a busy downtown Manhattan lifestyle. In celebration of Botkier’s five-year anniversary, the designer will launch an extensive collection of footwear this spring. Complete with customized heels and hardware, the fine Italian shoe collection will offer a grand assortment of styles — from seductive heels to edgy ballerina flats and sandals in bold colors and must-have neutrals. We can’t wait to get our hands on them! Check out all the new styles at the newly revamped botkier.com. Shoes range from $200-$500.

Wearing bright orange isn’t for the faint of heart, but we’re kind of feeling Chloe Sevigny’s bold frock. Not only is the full-skirted silhouette flattering, but the hue complements the Big Love star’s skin tone. Plus she smartly pairs it with a pale pink clutch and satin pumps that provide the perfect color contrast. As much as we like this look, we’re not so sure we’d be brave enough to don it. But we want to know what you think. Tell us: Would you wear a dress in this shocking shade?

The whales are not the only thing the Heroes star is trying to save. Hayden Panettiere also wants to save the planet. While tugging designer bags, like her Kooba Elisha tote, the budding humanitarian opts for eco-friendly clothing lines like her Gypsy 05′ hoodie. The Gypsy 05′ organic “French Rose” hoodie is made using fabric derived from bamboo, low impact dyes and a 90% organic printing process. We sense the young starlet is paving her way into Hollywood’s activist hall of fame–keep it up! We found Hayden’s eco-friendly looks– and her fab bag!
