Maria Menounos shares her red-carpet beauty essential

Maria Menounos gives us an inside look at the product she can't be without on the red carpet.

Maria MenounosExtra correspondent — and our February Girl Crush— Maria Menounos is a staple on the red carpet. She always looks fabulous, so we just had to ask her for the inside details on her essential red-carpet beauty accessories.

"Always keep TopStick handy — you never know when you will need it, or who will need it!" Menounos told SheKnows.

Not familiar with TopStick?

Get used to the name, 'cause you're going to be telling people about it in the future. TopStick is a medical-grade adhesive tape first used to keep wigs in place. Now, it's every stylist's essential item to hide everything from wayward bra straps to a ripped hem.

Of course, part of that glow comes from Menounos' nearly 15-year relationship with boyfriend Keven Undergaro. The two are blissfully in love, even after all this time — and she doesn't even want to get married!

"We're both like fish on the subject — we just flip and we flop," she joked. "There are times when we are like, 'Oh, we should do it!' But you know, I also feel like we've been together for such a long time. In my mind, we have been married. So I don't really see the difference."

So, all we have to do to look like Maria Menounos is buy some TopStick and get a loyal BF? If only it were that easy.

Beyoncé's Super Bowl fashion: All the details!

Beyoncé brought down the house during her Super Bowl XLVII Halftime performance — and she did it all in a fierce black leather-and-lace outfit.

Beyonce at the Super bowl

Jason Wu landed on the fashion map after he dressed First Lady Michelle Obama for the 2009 Inaugural Ball. But now, it's designer Rubin Singer's moment.

The little-known designer better be ready for the world stage: He designed the futuristic leather-and-lace bodysuit for Beyoncé's halftime performance at Super Bowl XLVII.

"I have to tell you, this is a moment," Singer told The New York Times late last week. "It’s the biggest moment of my career."

Singer — one of Bey's favorite designers — wasn't entirely sure at the time that his outfit would be chosen for the performance, but he was hopeful.

"Everyone’s expecting Beyoncé to go with a major designer," he said. "She knows it’s a game-changer — no pun intended."

The love affair between Queen B and the New York-based designer goes back several years — and it's apparent the love is mutual.

"She and I have had a working relationship now for about five years," Singer told Glamour earlier this year, adding, "and in that time, I've been invited to every concert she's had in New York, she's introduced me to people she thinks I should work with, she and her team are just incredibly generous people."

And why does he love dressing her so much? She and sister Solange Knowles are "the only celebrities that always dry clean and send clothes back in a box, with a hand-written thank you note. They are true ladies."

"When you do a fitting with her, she doesn't keep you waiting half a day like some celebrities do," he continued. "When she's there, she's present and honest and grateful."

Gym instructor secrets: 4 dry shampoos for your gym bag

$

Like many of us this time of year, we’ve made a resolution to hit the gym and really get in shape in 2013. While you should be focused on your workout and not how you’ll look afterward, it's easier said than done. We’ve put four of the best dry shampoos to the test with four fitness instructors for your after-workout beauty routine.

Big Sexy Hair Volumizing Dry Shampoo

1

Stacey

Big Sexy Hair Volumizing Dry Shampoo

Used: After a Body Combat class

Smell: I loved it! It is light and fades with time — it definitely isn’t overwhelming like many other dry shampoos I’ve tried.

Texture: The texture was a little starchy and made my hair feel a bit stiff. My normally shiny hair looked a bit dull.

Volume: It added a bit of volume but not as much as I had hoped for.

Final answer: If you plan on sweating a lot, this may not be the choice for you. I recommend it if you are taking a light class or doing an easy workout on your own.

KMS California Hair Play Makeover Spray

2

Susie

KMS California Hair Play Makeover Spray

Used: After a Body Pump class

Smell: Very nice, even for someone who has a sensitive nose. My husband commented on how good it smelled .

Texture: I was pleasantly surprised how well it worked. There were no white flakes or powder afterwards to worry about.

Volume: This added lots of volume and gave new life to ponytail hair.

Final answer: It was a spritz pump versus the aerosol and easy to apply. It worked great after a seriously tough workout. My hair looked amazing and stayed that way for the rest of the day!

Suzy

Suzy

Biosilk Dry Clean Shampoo

Used: After a Boot Camp class

Smell: This smelled light and clean, not flowery or girlie, which I loved.

Texture: It made my hair feel really soft and very clean. People commented on how great my hair looked!

Volume: It really added a lot of volume! I felt like my hair looked even better than after a normal shampoo and condition session.

Final answer: Awesome choice for after class to head back to the office.

Brocato Big Easy Volumizing Dry Shampoo

4

Lara

Brocato Big Easy Volumizing Dry Shampoo

Used: After a Yoga-Pilates class

Smell: The smell was WAY too strong and overwhelming.

Texture: This made my hair feel really light and soft. I could run fingers through without it feeling stiff.

Volume: It added a little too much volume to my already big curly hair.

Final answer: This is perfect for after a really hard workout. It gives the appearance of freshly washed hair. But, like I said, the smell is overpowering and it added a little too much volume.

Depending on what you are looking for, these are all great choices. Though each of the four is a little different, they all will give you a great look to take back to the office or out on the town with friends. Don’t let spending time on your hair hold you back from getting fit this year! Now if we could only find yoga pants that flatter our booties...

Whether you've been with your man for 20 years, or are meeting him for the first time, these date night looks will be sure to stop your guy dead in his tracks.

First date...

Since you're meeting this man for the first time, you'll want to appear hot but not slutty. You don't want to give him the wrong impression, do you? Opt for your most flattering LBD. We suggest a sleeveless option to show just the right amount of skin. And bring a colorful cardigan with you — just in case it gets chilly in the restaurant.

First date...

A few dates in — still fresh...

It's still new, so looking your absolute best is key. He won't be able to take his eyes off of you if you rock a flirty dress with sexy stilettos and a sultry smoky eye.

A few dates in—still fresh...

We'll be having the "this is exclusive" conversation soon...

By now, you're probably comfortable enough to go a little more casual, so you don't look like you're always trying so hard. A pair of dark skinny jeans paired with a flowy blouse and a cool leather bomber will show him you're cool and laid-back, but still care about the relationship with a put-together look.

Long term, exclusive relationship, but not married...

You've been together for years, so he totally gets your style — and probably thinks you're sexiest when you're comfortable. Looking for something that's comfy, yet still adorable? Try colored denim, a classic white tee and a denim jacket. So cute!
