Who said seeing red was bad? Stylistas won’t just have it in their eyes this summer, but on their lips. Rinna Beauty, the hit cosmetic line by Lisa Rinna, debuts on June 30^th its new classic red “Kiki” Lip Kit.

Chic, elegant and fabulous all at once — like its founder, naturally — the new product includes the “Wink Wink” lip liner, “I Love Lois” lipstick and the “Hustle” lip gloss. The Kiki kit is available now on www.rinnabeauty.com.

Rinna Beauty Launches a New Classic Red “Kiki” Lip Kit

New Product Includes “Wink Wink” Lip Liner, “I Love Lois Lipstick” and “Hustle” Lip Gloss

The “Kiki” kit is inspired by Lisa’s alter ego, and the “I Love Lois” lipstick needs no introduction — fans of Lisa’s hit series “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” know instantly her mom Lois is its namesake.

“Red has always been a part of my life, literally” says Rinna. “It’s a powerful, assertive, strong and memorable color, much like my mother Lois. Rinna Beauty was built on that aspiration — confidence, independence, strength, love — and our new “Kiki” Lip Kit reflects that ideal. And you can’t have a red lipstick without thinking of Lois.”

Since its September announcement, Rinna Beauty has generated tremendous interest and a waiting list many thousands deep. “It’s finally here,” lauded the Daily Mail, proclaiming Rinna Beauty’s lipsticks “fit for her iconic pout.” Allure, beauty’s top magazine, said “Rinna knows her stuff when it comes to lips.” And WWD stated the obvious when it wrote “Her pout has been topic of conversation for years.” Its first product, the ICON Lip Kit, features lipstick and gloss in three of Lisa’s signature nude shades, as well as a liner.

In the realm of Hollywood, few can boast such an enduring and prolific career as Lisa. With her exotic looks, prodigious talent, infectious energy, and savvy business acumen, she has become one of the most recognizable faces in entertainment, having starred on shows like “Days of Our Lives,” Melrose Place,” “Dancing with the Stars” and most recently the Bravo series “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”  Lisa is also a frequent guest host on “LIVE with Kelly & Ryan,” and has filled in for Anderson Cooper on his eponymous talks show “Anderson.” She also starred on Broadway as Roxie Hart in the 2007 revival of the classic “Chicago” at the Ambassador Theater, after performing in the show’s national tour.

Her chic, sexy style caught the attention of QVC, which worked with the actress in launching Lisa Rinna Collection,” inspired by her breezy, West Coast aesthetic. The line was an off shoot of the Belle Gray boutique, a clothing store (named after her daughters Delilah Belle and Amelia Gray) ran for 10 years.

An accomplished New York Times best-selling author, Lisa also has released three books, including The Big Fun Sexy Sex Book, Starlit and Rinnavation, which reveals her best kept secrets for staying fit, managing weight, looking beautiful, feeling sexy and living the best life possible. As a fitness fanatic, Lisa also released a series of exercise DVDs for Warner Home Video called “Lisa Rinna: Dance Body Beautiful,” all of which offer unique high energy cardio workouts created by Lisa and “Dancing with the Stars” choreographer, Louis van Amstel.

You love taking pictures, and you love to always be as glam as possible, and just because you own a dog doesn’t mean you can take a back seat and let standards slip, right? Your dog will love to be looked after by you, as well as you look after yourself. When you look after your dog, the returns you get far outweigh any negative aspects. So, how can you keep your dog looking its best and ensure that they are photo-ready all the time.

Good Food and Diet

Just like you, your dog needs to eat and drink well. Dogs of all sizes need to eat twice a day, and they need to eat food that is rich and full of protein. Cheap dog food that can often be brightly colored is often full of unnecessary additives and potentially damaging to your dog’s long-term health. Giving your dog human treats can be a big no, as things like cheese are full of calories that your dog doesn’t need. Giving tidbits from the table may seem like a good idea, but you are potentially doing more harm than good in reality. Feed your dog a mixture of wet food and dry food to ensure that they maintain a balance and ensure that they maintain a healthy weight.

Bathing and Grooming

A smelly or ungroomed dog never looks good does it. Similarly, an over polished and over preened dog can suffer from a dull coat. Striking a balance is important. You dogs fur naturally cleans itself over time, so it is recommended that you bathe them occasionally, which means you are probably looking at around once a month, or less regularly, unless, of course, they walk over or roll over in something not so pleasant. In addition to bathing your dog, you need to regularly groom your dog as they will have summer coats and winter coats, and if you do not keep on top of the hair you will end up with lots of excess hair around your home, which is not very glam or nice to see. Using a combination of a brush and a de-shedding tool will ensure that your dog both looks good and feels good after a regular grooming session.

Regular Vet Visits and Check-ups

To keep your dog looking awesome, they also need to have regular vet checks. Regular annual checkups give your vet the chance to look over your dog, weigh them and possibly even spot signs or underlying issues and problems. Choosing a vet that cares about your dog, such as those at kellycrossinganimalhospital.com will give you peace of mind that your precious pooch is in safe and caring hands, whether they are there for a check-up or to get their teeth cleaned.

Often overlooked are your dogs’ claws and ears, and you must take care of these. Regular claw clipping and regular ear cleaning will keep your dog clean, tidy, and free from any infections, ensuring they are always looking their best.
