Need a sexy style that'll take you from day to night? Well, you're in luck, because this rolled look is the perfect one.
Matt Fugate, a stylist at the Sally Hershberger Downtown Salon, shows us how it's done.
1. Part your hair in line with the arch in your left eyebrow, then curl it. You can use the tip of your pinky finger to achieve a straight part. After your hair is parted, take a large-barrel curling iron and create a slight bend in your hair from the midshaft down.
2. Section off and hold the hair to the right of your part.
3. Wrap your hair around the stem of a rattail comb. "Holding the section of hair in your right hand and anchoring the handle of a rattail comb against your head (in line with the arch in your right brow), wrap your hair over, under, and then over again until you reach the end of the comb's stem," Fugate says.
4. Hold the comb in place and reach for a bobby pin. Insert three regular bobby pins alongside the handle of the comb to secure it before sliding the handle out of the rolled style.
5. Secure the roll. "Push several more bobby pins into the roll to secure it in place," he says.
6. Pull the roll even tighter and lock it into place . "With one U-shaped bobby pin, insert it in toward the back of the roll diagonally to the right, and then angle it slightly to the left and proceed to tuck it to the left to pull the roll even tighter," Fugate says.
See? Polished and party-ready in no time flat! Now slip on that sexy freakum dress and go!

Makeup How-To: Plum-Perfect Smoky Eyes
Its getting down-right nippy outside and the last thing you want to do is leave home to pick up beauty essentials that just ran out (ugh)! Well, we've got good news: You don't have to leave the house or suffer the pimply consequences of sleeping with your makeup on. Just head to the kitchen to find skin-friendly makeup removers that will keep your face gunk-free until you can pull yourself away from your Walking Dead binge-watching sesh.
Olive Oil: If your normal remover leaves your eyes stinging, olive oil is a great alternative. It's way softer on your peepers and easier on your skin, too! Dip a cotton ball into a cap-full of olive oil and swipe away your eye makeup.
Milk: Yep, milk! This breakfast staple is already used in loads of beauty products, because it has a soothing effect on dry, sensitive skin. Try mixing milk with a few drops of almond oil for best results (but plain works totally fine if that's all you have in the house!). Soak a cotton ball in moo juice, remove your makeup, and rinse your face with warm water.
Baby Oil: There's a reason why mom still keeps baby oil around. It's one of the best ways to remove a dark smoky eye or bold lip! Just apply with a cotton ball, and wipe away from the inner corner of your eye.

Party dress? Check! Holiday makeup and hair looks? Check, check! Now, what do to with your nails? Try this chic champagne mani, of course.
Nail artist Simcha Whitehill aka Miss Pop shows and tells Cosmo exactly how to copy it.
1. Prep and paint. "After you've filed your nails into the desired shape, pushed back your cuticles" remember, DO NOT CUT THEM! "and applied a basecoat, paint your nails with a gold polish," Whitehill says. "This will mimic champagne's yellow-y gold shade." Hand model and Cosmopolitan.com's managing editor Alie Martell used Essie Nail Polish in Shifting Power.
2. Create tiny air bubbles. "Using a striper brush, which you can get at any art supply store and a silver glitter polish with super small shimmer, start in line with where the moon of your nail would be and begin to draw thin lines of "bubbles" from there toward the tip of your nail," she says. Here, Alie used Nails Inc. Electric Avenue.
3. Fabricate fizz. "Dab some extra glitter along the top of the nail, using the polish from step two and your striper brush, to make it look like the tip of your nail is the top of the champagne glass where all of the fizz is," Whitehill adds.
4. Make some bigger bubbles. "With a clear polish that contains larger silver glitter chunks, swipe the paint over your entire nail, but then focus the glitter more toward the top of the nail to accentuate the air bubbles there," Whitehill says. Alie used Orly Holy Holo! Glitter Polish. "Then, finish with your favorite top coat."
Here's to having the coolest nails whilst holding a glass of champagne. Cheers!

Ignore my lopsided top knot for one second, and instead focus on the gigantic paraffin wax gloves I'm wearing.
These babies landed on my desk recently for review and were intriguing to me especially since my hands have been dry as shit lately with the weather dropping to ungoldy temperatures so I took them for a test drive to see if they'd actually work.
Here's the verdict: after popping both gloves in the microwave to heat up and melt the multitude of paraffin waxes, coconut oil, and lavender oil each contain, I waited until the heart on the front of the glove was black, not red (an indicator that it's too hot to put your pretty little hands in), and then I slit the top of the glove with scissors, slipped my hands in each of them, and had a co-worker tighten the velcro to keep the wax from seeping out. I officially felt somewhat like Edward Scissorhands.
The instructions said to leave the gloves on for 15 minutes, so I did. At first the wax was pretty hot, but the temperature quickly lowered and I could feel the wax-slash-oil blend hardening around my hands. It felt weird, but also kind of cool.
When I finally removed each glove at the sink, my hands look really prune-y, as if I'd been in the bathtub too long. And since that's a sign of over-hydration, I knew my hands were definitely moisturized, but I wasn't sure how smooth they were going to feel. I wanted baby's-ass kind of soft, but after I washed and dried my hands to get the excess oil off, they didn't feel Gerber baby-like instead, they felt soft-ish, but more similar to how they felt before I started. #Fail.
The packaging says to repeat this process weekly, and since you can use each glove four times, the month supply of at-home paraffin wax ($40; glovetreat.com) might just do the job for you like I said, my hands did feel oiled up and somewhat moisturized. However, in my opinion, it didn't provide the longer-lasting hydration that my hands need.
Looks like I'm sticking to my trusty bottle of Kora Organics by Miranda Kerr Enriched Body Lotion.

David Ingber is one of Cosmopolitan.com's resident manicorns. He bravely submitted the styling of his facial hair to a reader vote. Out of the four options Justin Bieber's barely there mustache, Tom Selleck's lush mustache, Joaquin Phoenix's long beard, and Channing Tatum's bleach blond look from Jupiter Ascending you chose Channing. So, good manicorn that he is, David let me color his beard blond, hair, and eyebrows blond.
Here's how it went down:
My co-worker Brooke and I first applied Redken for Men Spiking Cream Wax High Up all through David's hair and beard to give it some grip. Then, we patted on Hair Color Chalk in Squeezed Lemon all over his head and facial hair, pressing it in so that the color would stay better.
Then, I worked Manic Panic's Dye Hard Temporary Hair Color Styling Gel in Glam Gold through his hair and also onto his beard, brows, and lashes to make the blonde pieces pop even more.
The end result: David as a blonde bombshell aka Channing Tatum look-alike. Minus the pointy-ear, they're basically twinsies.
When asked how it felt to be a blond, David replied: "In my brief time as a blond, I spent about two minutes laughing at myself in the mirror. I thought I looked like a member of 'N Sync, but Kathleen" Cosmo.com's resident 'N Sync-obsessed photo editor "yelled at me for blaspheming their good name. Some people just aren't meant to be blonds. #sadday."
Looking forward to Dave's next beauty dare? So am I. Stay tuned!

The easiest way to take your look from day to night? A bold lip color. And since purple reigns this season, why not switch up your signature red lip with a deep plum hue? It's not only super sexy, but its stunning wine-colored hue is sure to get you noticed instantly.
Makeup artist Lauren Cosenza shows us how it's done.
1. Exfoliate. "A vamp look requires smooth, supple lips sans flaky skin," Cosenza says. "Start by exfoliating with a lip exfoliator using circular motions to slough away any dead skin." Grace used E.L.F. Cosmetics Lip Exfoliator here.
2. Camouflage your true lip color with cover-up. "Layer concealer over your lips using a flat makeup brush to blank out any of your natural lipcolor," she says. "That way your lip shade won't conflict with the purple lip color, leaving you with true pigment payoff." Grace patted on Clé de Peau Beaute Concealer.
3. Line your lips. "This provides a barrier that'll keep the purple lipstick from feathering or bleeding," she adds. Grace used MAC Cosmetics Plum Lip Pencil.
4. Fill in your pout with the plum pencil. "Coloring in your lips with the same purple lip pencil from step three gives the purple lipstick you're about to apply something to adhere to," Cosenza says. "This helps to make the color last longer on your lips."
5. Coat your lips in a deep wine-colored hue. "Using a lip brush to get a precise application, apply a purple lipstick over your entire mouth," she says. Try Bobbi Brown Lip Color in Blackberry, which was used here.
6. Lacquer up your lips with a matching gloss. Intensify your lip's look with a gloss in the same shade as your lipstick. Graced used MAKE Cream Luminous Lip Gloss in Purple Noise.
7. Create symmetry and clean up any imperfections with concealer. "Using the lip brush and concealer that you used in step two, perfect your application by cleaning up around the edges of your mouth, creating straight lines with cover-up," Cosenza adds.
Finally, pucker up and get ready to show off that pretty purple pout!

If Cara Delevingne is your eyebrow idol, then stop what you're doing, pin this tutorial below, and do these steps immediately-slash-daily. Makeup artist Lauren Cosenza shows us exactly how to fake fuller brows like it's your job.
1. Map out your desired eyebrow shape. "After your foundation and blush is applied, start enhancing your brows by mapping out a strong eyebrow shape on your face using an eyebrow pencil," Cosenza says. "Make sure to fully close in the shape with the exception of the inside edge of your brow, which should be left open. If it's entirely closed, it can look like theatre makeup, which isn't the effect you're going for." Brow model Rebecca used Eliza Brunette Brow Definer.
2. Fill in your arches with brow powder. "Using a dense angled brush, swipe it against a pressed eyebrow powder that's one shade lighter than your natural brow hair color," she adds. "Then, use short quick brush strokes upward, following the growth of your hair." Rebecca used Anastasia Brow Powder Duo in Ebony.
3. Backcomb and comb your brows. "Backcombing your brows with a spoolie brush helps diffuse and soften the edges, so that they don't end up looking like you just accentuated them," Cosenza says. "Then, comb them smooth again, following their regular growth pattern." Rebecca used a spoolie brush found at the opposite end of the Eliza Brunette Brow Definer that she used above.
4. Highlight the browbone. "With a highlighter pencil, apply the soft champagne-y pink shade onto your browbone," she adds. "The lighter shade against your darker brow accentuates them even more. Then, set your eyebrows with brow gel, spiking the hair subtly at the inner corner and brushing the rest of your arch smooth." Rebecca used Anastasia Eye Lights Matte and Anastasia Clear Brow Gel.
With fall in full effect, what better way to show your love for this season aside than an awesome autumnal mani?
Nail artist Simcha Whitehill aka Miss Pop shows and tells Cosmo exactly how to copy this chic, festive fall mini masterpiece.
1. Prep and paint. "After you've filed your nails into the desired shape, pushed back your cuticles" remember, DO NOT CUT THEM! "and applied a basecoat, paint your nails a bright orange-y red hue," Whitehill says. Essie's Hip-Anema was used here.
2. Create a straight line along the outer edge of your nail. "Using a long, skinny brush called a striper brush (which you can get at any beauty supply store), draw a straight line with a light beige shade on the left side of your nail on your left hand, and then on the right side of your nail on your right hand," she adds. "Just make sure you leave some space to draw leaves on both sides of the line." Use a polish like YSL La Laque No. 39 Beige Gallery.
3. Draw some leaves. "With the same striper brush and polish color that you just used in the step above, draw four sets of two bowed lines that meet at a point coming off of the straight line," Whitehill says. "Create the same exact leaf pattern on the opposite side of the line so that they match."
4. Add dimension to the leaves with a complementary fall color. "First, be sure to clean off your striper brush with nail polish remover," she adds. "Then, grab an opaque yellow polish, like China Glaze Happy Go Lucky, dip your striper brush in the bright color, and create a 'V' at the tip of each leaf to give the leaf depth."
Finally, layer on a top coat to seal in your artwork, let them dry, and then go show off those gorgeous tips!

Choosing the right party dress and night-out makeup is hard enough when you have cocktail parties filling your calendar by the second. But don't worry, I've got you covered when it comes to what sexy hairstyles to wear. There, now you can cross one thing off of your to-do list.
1. Beyoncé's sexy side-swept braid.
To get a side-braid similar to Bey's that's fancier than your usual easy style, follow this tutorial.
2. Taylor Swift's tucked under bun with bangs.
Copy Taylor's AMA awards style by putting your hair into a low ponytail, securing it with an elastic band, rolling your pony under and up to meet the nape of your neck, and then pinning it into place with bobby pins.
3. Jordin Sparks' sleek ponytail braid.
Score Miss Sparks' style by pulling your hair into a slicked-back ponytail (get the how-to here). Take a sliver of hair from underneath and braid it into a small braid, then wrap it around the hair tie securing your ponytail. Finish up by braiding the rest of your ponytail and keeping it in place with an elastic band toward your ends.
4. Nicole Richie's center-parted halo braid.
To recreate this updo, leave the front section of your hair out of the style. Starting three inches back from your hairline, braid two separate sections of hair on each side one smaller, one bigger. Next, wrap the braids closest to your hairline (the smaller one) around the back between the crown of your head and the nape of your neck, and wrap the larger braids around the back of your head and over the top of your hair, giving you that milkmaid effect. Pin the ends of the smaller braids at the nape of your neck and the larger ones at the top of your head make sure to tuck the ends in too, so that they don't stick out.
5. Julianne Hough's swept updo.
Copy Julianne's stunning look by curling all of your hair and then sweeping it into a side pontytail. Next, wrap a sliver of hair from the pony around the elastic that's securing the style to conceal it, and then randomly pull up and pin pieces of hair from the ponytail into the side of your head, giving it that perfectly-undone effect.
6. Kerry Washington's partly-pulled back boho style.
Kerry's style is not only gorgeous, it's super-easy. First, center part your hair and create a subtle wave all over, using this tutorial as a guide. Then, take two small sections of hair, coming off of your part, and lightly twist them toward the back of your head. Secure the sections when they meet at the crown of your head with bobby pins in an "X" formation to keep the style from unraveling.
7. Miley's glamorous 'do.
To copy Miley's style, first part your hair in line with the arch in your right eyebrow the hair to the left of your part should have some body at the root if you don't normally part it there. Next, curl your hair all over, so that a) it becomes shorter and b) it has this old Hollywood glamour effect when you pin it up. Then, pull back the hair on the right side of your head and secure it using a bejeweled hair comb like this one. If you have shorter hair, your last step is to spray the look with hairspray, but if you have longer hair, this is when you fake a faux bob, tucking your hair under itself at the nape of your neck and bobby pinning it in place. Voila!
8. Jennifer Lawrence's bejeweled bun.
To get J. Law's bejeweled bun, pull your hair into a low ponytail and secure it with an elastic band. Next, take your favorite long necklace, tuck it into the hair tie, and begin braiding it in as you braid your ponytail. Finally, tug at the braid gently pulling it apart ever so slightly to make it textured and thicker-looking, and then wrap it into a bun and bobby pin it into place.
9. Malin Ackerman's perfectly undone side-braid.
Mirror Malin's gorgeous style by parting your hair over your left temple and pulling your hair over your right shoulder. Then, begin to fishtail braid it until you reach the ends. Not sure how to fishtail braid? Click here to learn how.
10. Kristen Stewart's side-swept style.
To get K-Stew's exact side-swept style, watch this video tutorial with the how-to straight from her stylist Adir Abergel.
11. Kourtney Kardashian's bangin' top knot.
Who doesn't love a high bun? To copy Kourtney's chic top knot, whether you have bangs or not, pull your hair back into a high ponytail (using a boar bristle brush to smooth out any bumps), secure it with a hair elastic, and then wrap your hair around the elastic band tightly to build your bun. Finally, keep it in place with bobby pins.
12. Diane Kruger's sleek, center-parted chignon.
Diane's style is stunning, chic, and easy to recreate. Just part your hair down the center, smooth the two sides back with some smoothing serum like this one, and wrap your hair into a neat bun at the nape of your neck, securing it in place with bobby pins.
13. Jennifer Hudson's slicked-back, polished pixie.
If you have shorn sides and a longer strip of hair down the center of your head, like Jennifer does, slick your hair back with a quarter-size amount of styling gel, which will provide hold and give you that polished look. Boom, you're done.
14. Jenna Ushkowitz's messy side pony.
Want to mimic a messy ponytail, like Jenna's, that's perfect for any cocktail party? Follow this tutorial.

Megan Fox is the latest face of Avon's new fragrance Instinct for Women. In the perfume's honor, she rang Cosmopolitan.com to talk about her husband, being hot, and much more.
Cosmo: What's sexy to you?
MF: I love when my hair is in loose beachy waves, I think that's sexy. But what's sexiest to me is whenever you're feeling confident and you exude that.
Cosmo: As one of the sexiest women alive, do you see yourself as sexy?
MF: Privately I see myself as sexy, but I don't know what I do out in public that's so sexy. [Laughs.]
Cosmo: Has your idea of sexy changed since you've become a mom, and now again that you're pregnant?
MF: Yes. I actually got much more comfortable being curvy. I didn't lose all of my baby weight on purpose because I enjoyed having thighs and a booty — I think Brian enjoys that as well. [Laughs.]
Cosmo: Do you watch Brian on 90210 on Soapnet?
MF: We don't do that in our house — watch the work we do. I'm horrified of watching myself. But I do sneak episodes of 90210 while Brian is at work. I'll text him and say, "How could you cheat on Donna?! She loved you so much and saved herself for you!!"
Cosmo: You're the new face of Avon's Instinct for Women, which is coming out in February 2014. What's your favorite thing about the scent?
Megan Fox: I personally like that it smells like sandalwood, yet it's still light and fresh. It's perfect for day and night, because it's not too-overpowering or too-musky.
Cosmo: Where is your favorite place to spray fragrance?
MF: I always put it on my neck and my collarbone, I'm not sure why, I just do. And I do a general dusting on my clothing, too — I spray and walk through it.
Cosmo: I know the scent has a male counterpart as well. Does your husband Brian [Austin Green] wear the men's version?
MF: No, he's not really a cologne guy, he's more of a take a shower/deodorant kind of guy.
Cosmo: So does he like when you wear fragrance?
MF: Brian likes fragrance on me, but he isn't picky — he just loves me with whatever I've got going on.
Cosmo: Now your fragrance comes out in February of 2014, what are your feelings on Valentine's Day?
MF: I think it's an unfair and difficult holiday to sit through, especially if you don't have someone at the time.
Cosmo: Talking about beauty, has your beauty routine changed since becoming a mom?
MF: I don't have the same amount of time that I had before to do selfish things for myself, and with that I've limited the amount of products I use. I used to have six-step beauty routine and now I only use a cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen.
Cosmo: What cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen do you use?
MF: I use CeraVe cleanser and moisturizer, and I always use my dermatologist Dr. Lancer's sunscreen.
Cosmo: What's the one beauty product you can't live without?
MF: I have to have Aquaphor. My lips are so dry, so I have to have it with me all of the time — it's so hydrating.

You can't look at the red carpet these days without seeing this stunning style, so I asked Hairstylist Dominick Pucciarello to show Cosmo the key steps to recreating it. Here's to never having another bad hair day again.
1. Sweep your hair to one side and blow it smooth. "Using a round brush and a hair dryer, focus the heat downward so that you smooth the cuticle perfectly, allowing the side opposite of the swept hair to lay flat," Pucciarello says.
2. Hit your strands with some hairspray. "This will keep the hair in place and help give it some extra hold when you curl it," he says. India used Oribe Superfine Hairspray.
3. Gather the underpart of your hair and create a hidden side ponytail. "Remember to leave a lot of hair out of the ponytail, so that it falls over it and remains hidden underneath," Pucciarello adds. "Also, when you're putting the ponytail in, if your hair is swept to the left, look to the right as you're securing the pony. That way, when you look straight, you're hair will tighten and the smoothed side will look even sleeker."
4. Create loose waves. "For a natural-looking curl, take the iron and twirl every inch-wide section in different directions (towards the face and away from the face)," he says. "Just make sure the hair closest to the face is twirled away from it, so that it doesn't close off your beautiful face."
5. Spray and separate. "After curling all of your hair, spray on some more of the hairspray you used in step two, and then take a light dry oil or smoothing serum, apply a few drops to your hands and rub them together, and gently separate your curls to create an undone effect. India use Oribe Smooth Style Serum here.
And you're done. Now pin this baby to all of your beauty boards, because you're going to want to wear this sexy style everywhere.

Hair How-To: Create a Crowning Moment
Makeup How-To: Plum-Perfect Smoky Eyes
1. Three strokes are all you need. As you're painting your nails, it's best if you use three strokes to apply the polish. "First, you want to dip the brush into the bottle and get a decent-size bead of polish at the edge of your brush," nail pro Simcha Whitehill says. "You want the polish to do the majority of the work and spread out as it's placed on the nail — the brush is there to just guide the dot of polish into place. Starting at the base of your nail, stroke the brush to the left, to the right, and then down the center. Voila!
2. Always use base coat. "It might take you some extra time, but it gives the colored polish something to adhere to, making your manicure last a couple of extra days longer, and it prevents staining on your nails from pigmented paint," Whitehill explains.
3. Repurpose your old lip brush to help tidy up the edges of your nail. We've all colored outside of the lines, but when you do it with nail polish, you want to be precise in your clean up technique. Whitehill suggests dipping an old lip brush into nail polish remover and swiping it around your nail bed to clean up the edges.
5. Stay away from quick-dry nail polish. It's typically dehydrating and can dry out your nails.
6. Swipe on cuticle oil religiously. "An instant way to look like you've just stepped out of the salon is to use cuticle oil," Whitehill says. "It instantly hydrates them. Then, apply it over your entire nail after you've painted your nails — if you accidentally hit them against something, the oil offers some slip, so they're less likely to nick."
7. Hold your hands under cold water post-paint job. Holding your hands under cold water or dipping your fingertips into ice water for a bit helps them dry faster.
8. Make your neon polish pop. To get your neon paint to be even brighter, apply a white or an opaque nude shade as your first coat of polish. Neons tend to be sheer, so this helps make them seem thicker.
9. Apply thin, not thick coats of polish. Anytime you're painting your nails, to get your polish to dry faster, apply three thin coats compared to one or two gloppy layers, because they'll never dry.
10. Keep your paint in a cool, dry, dark place aka your fridge. Storing your nail polish in the refrigerator helps the formula to last longer. Especially since heat and sunlight can alter the thickness and color.
11. Thin out too-thick nail polish with thinner. "You can pick up nail polish thinner at your local beauty store — a few drops added to your polish that's too thick is all you need," she says.
12. Never shake your nail polish. "Instead, roll it back back and forth between your two hands, holding the polish vertically," Whitehill notes. "This ensures there will be no air bubbles in the lacquer or on your nails as you paint it on."
13. Never cut your cuticles. It's a no-no. Here's why.
14. Only bust out the nippers when you have a hangnail. This is the ONLY time you should be reaching for the cuticle nippers. "Hangnails are inevitable, even if you use moisturizer often, and unfortunately the only way to get rid of them is to trim them away," she says.
15. Never saw your nails back and forth when you file them. "Always stroke the file in one direction, otherwise it will tear the tip of your nail and leave it jagged," Whitehill explains. "Filing them incorrectly can also lead to splitting, peeling, and breaking."
16. Stay away from hot water. "Don't do your nails and then do the dishes or hop into the shower," Whitehill says. "Hot water is nail polish's natural born enemy — it causes the nail bed to expand, forcing the polish to expand with it, typically causing it to crack in the process."
17. Use non-acetone nail polish remover whenever possible. "Non-acetone isn't as drying to the nail, so if you have a problem with peeling or dry nails, you'll want to use this formula, especially if you're trying to strengthen your nails," she says.
18. Go for glitter. Glitter polish or polish that's shimmery lasts longer on your nails than regular formulas.
19. Use a cotton ball to help remove your glitter polish. Glitter polish is a bitch to get off of your nail. For that reason, Whitehill suggests soaking a cotton ball in acetone remover, forming the cotton ball over each nail, and then letting it sit on your fingertips for a few minutes. "Then, gently apply some pressure and wipe the polish off with the cotton ball — the glitter should slip right off with it."
20. Always use three-free polish. Formulas labeled as such are free of formaldehyde, toluene, and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) — ingredients that can raise health concerns if you're exposed to them over a prolonged period of time — are safer and healthier to be using over the course of your life, she says. Try brands like Essie, Butter London, and Deborah Lippmann to name a few.
21. Always use a top coat. And when you apply it, always swipe the very tip of your nail. That way when you're typing and hitting your tips agains the keys constantly, you'll be less likely to get chips.
There, nailed it.

A bright lip is always on trend. So, why not bring out the badass in your beauty routine and go for a bold, "I've arrived," vibrant orange hue that'll last through lunch and maybe even a makeout sesh. Makeup artist Lauren Cosenza shows us how.
1. Prep your pout. "After your foundation, blush, and eye makeup is applied, accentuate your lips by applying a nourishing plumper over them to help hydrate," says Cosenza. Here, Diandra used Dior Addict Lip Maximizer. "Then, add concealer over them with a fluffy brush to neutralize your lip color, so that your natural lip color doesn't alter the orange shade in any way." Diandra blended on It Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye.
2. Line and fill in your lips. "Use an orange lip liner to trace the perimeter of your mouth first, then fill in the rest of your lips," she says. "This helps anchor the color, keeping your lipstick on longer. Diandra used MAC Pro Longerwear Lip Pencil in What A Blast.
3. Top your lips with a neon orange lipcolor. "Make sure to use a lip brush to apply the lipstick perfectly," Cosenza says. Try MAC Lipmix in Orange.
4. Run a gold highlighter over the cupids bow to finish the look. This accentuates your lips, giving the illusion that they're slightly fuller. Diandra used Benefit Gilded Highlighting Pencil.
And voila, you're done. Orange you glad this tutorial isn't hard?
Young women used to dream of becoming Hollywood actresses or talk show hosts — rich, famous, adored by millions. Now, becoming a famous actress or television personality feels passé when you can become just as famous and rich by filming yourself in makeup how-to videos for YouTube.
These beauty vloggers have by all means become celebrities in their own right. They have agents (many of whom still represent actors and musicians in Hollywood), product lines, and crazed fan followings. Each day, millions of viewers tune in to YouTube to watch these beauty gurus' videos, which are filled with makeup tutorials, skincare tips, and straightforward confessions. Multiple sources inside the industry confirm to Cosmopolitan.com that Michelle Phan, the most famous such beauty vlogger, will bring in $5 million this year, thanks to various endorsement deals. (Phan's team had no comment.)
"I can say that I live pretty well and that my family is well taken care of," says 26-year-old Dulce Tejada, who declined to reveal her yearly income. The Los Angeles-based vlogger is the star of the YouTube channel Dulce Candy, which currently has more than 1.3 million subscribers.
"It really depends, but I will say that all of my clients live comfortable lifestyles," says Tejada's agent, Petar Mandich of Los Angeles-based firm Addition. Vloggers with more than five million followers on YouTube can make far beyond a million dollars a year, while vloggers with a couple million followers can make $300,000 to $500,000 a year.
"These are the new lifestyle personalities," says Lisa Filipelli of Big Frame, an agency that sells ads for YouTube channels. "The new Lauren Conrads of the world. The new Disney kids. It's a great new way for girls to get their start." YouTube offers an outlet for aspiring presenters, beauty experts and fashion gurus to gain a following without all the trashy misnomers that come with reality television.
One executive in the business said vloggers can get $10,000 to $15,000 per product placement. "It's not the norm, but it's very achievable," confirmed Chris Pirillo, a longtime internet personality. This past spring, he threw a Vlogger Fair in Seattle that attracted a throng of aspiring YouTube celebs. "Ninety percent of the attendees were younger females," he says. "And it doesn't surprise me. Females focus on the storytelling, and building trust with their communities. That's what drives revenue and value."
A favorable mention from a vlogger will not only drive sales of a product, but it can also provide the kind of customer feedback impossible to glean from market research. "If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a million," Pirillo says.
Who exactly are these women? Kandee Johnson, for one, was a Hollywood makeup artist for nearly a decade before she decided to use her grandparents' ancient video camera to tape herself cleaning two makeup brushes nearly five years ago. Her "How To Clean Make-Up Brushes (by Kandee Johnson)" has received 480,205 views since it hit YouTube.
Today, the Kandee Johnson YouTube channel boasts more than 1.7 million subscribers and hundreds of how-to beauty videos. One video, a tutorial on how to apply a temporary glitter-lip tattoo, has more than 10.5 million views.
Her internet fame has brought her other opportunities. Johnson has appeared as a judge on the Style Network's How Do I Look? and is partnering with Simon Cowell on his YouTube project.
"When I was doing makeup, I was one of the paid help. Now I'm treated very differently," Johnson said. While she refuses to reveal her salary, it's thought to be in the mid-six figures. "I'm doing better now to the point where I'm glad I'm doing this instead of makeup," she says. "With makeup, it was feast or famine. I could go three months without any work. [Vlogging] has opened so many more doors."
Of course, like any teen pop star, isn't there a chance the fame of these women — most of whom are in their mid-20s — could age out of their core demographic?
"As YouTube's audience, which is currently predominantly teenagers, grows up, I think the stories the vloggers are telling will change," Mandich, the agent, said. His own client, Tejada of Dulce Candy, made that abundantly clear when she decided to run a 26-minute long video in November 2013 that detailed her recent plastic surgery procedures. (The married mother of one had breast implants and a nose job.)
"I was expecting the reaction to be negative, but it was mostly all positive. People were thanking me for opening up," said Tejada, who also claims that she refuses to work with brands on product placement if she doesn't actually like the product. "I want to be as honest as I can."
Rather than using YouTube to propel TV careers, these YouTube stars are eyeing television as a way to further propel their YouTube channels. StyleHaul, a network of 3,500 fashion and beauty vloggers, has a TV partnership in the works.
Tejada and Johnson both hope to write books. "I want to create a best friend's guide to makeup," Johnson says. "Legit tips. But I don't want to do reality shows. I don't think those are very good."

Ekman Subtle Expression Training Tool 3.0 (eSETT 3.0) is the premier training program for learning to recognize subtle expressions. Tablet compatibility coming soon! Subtle expressions are the very "mini" expressions that often appear in just one region of your face, such as the brows, eyelids, cheeks, nose, or lips. They can occur when a person is trying to conceal a strong emotion — subtle expression can leak, exposing the true emotion in a tiny change in expression. These small movements may also occur when an emotion is just beginning, often before the person is aware of their emotional state.

-- new charges and countercharges today about the stunning performances by a Chinese swimmer at the London Olympics.
This sixteen year old female swimmer from China blowing away the field in a 400 meter individual relay.
Shattering the world record and locking a faster time in the last fifteen years of that race then the male gold medal winner Ryan -- The controversies also raising new questions about how these Chinese athletes train.
We're told that it is a life of intense preparation beginning an early childhood.
Complete with stories like those we heard from Communist nations during the Cold War.
Shauna sale is a senior writer for the yes for ESPN magazine and.
Author of steroid nation.
And got to keep that low is a psychiatrist and a member of -- Fox News medically team.
Thank you both so much for being here senator it's it's not just about you she -- who is at the center of this controversy it's about.
Quite a few Chinese athletes and the more we looked into this.
The more disturbed we got about the reports that are accepted I mean that are admitted to by the Chinese how.
Six and seven year -- who -- in school who show any sort of athletic prowess at school.
Get reported to the government get yanked out of school get put any special training camps and then all hope of staying with their family having a family relationship is -- here's the quote from one athlete saying.
That the father who had his child to get away I don't even dare to think about things like enjoying family happiness.
Sean can you -- us -- on how this happened.
Well you know.
-- all around the world right and see kids plucked out of their schools when they -- talent to mean you know you can look in Florida and you -- six years old yes if you don't but here's the problem in the and the problem is that China's much of the Soviet Union has an -- to that the question is.
When the kids are plucked out of schools are they given the best you coaching they can in the in the world or -- health and -- about drugs in the world and that's where I think you draw the line and I'm not so troubled by state sponsors school at -- -- -- -- -- -- -- American -- -- wish -- -- that -- -- attention.
What I'm troubled -- the history of pharmacology.
And that's -- -- things like I.
There are there there are questions about whether this athlete with doping are not helping -- denied that she was but.
The Daily Mail had a fascinating interview with with added a swimmer nick Petra Schneider.
Who is from east Germany and she was a big swimmer back in the day here she is winning the gold.
And she came out years later and said I was.
Basically a lab rat and they stuck me full of drugs and they kept me in the pool all day long and I didn't see my family and she did she said it ruined her life.
And she came out later actually asked for her records to be expunged because of what had been done to her she sees similarities with you should win doctor -- -- do you have a problem with what.
Those athletes.
Yeah I have the opposite view this is not about a Floridians.
-- -- talent and therefore does three hours of after school swimming because he wants to his parents figure a little too eager is about the collective.
This is about a government that doesn't value individual freedom saying your life will be spent in service to the state.
Your family and it's affections for you no matter not to this collective because only the government matters this isn't Florida.
This is a wholly different culture that abort children from mothers -- don't want -- aboard we have very little in common with these people we ought to just say.
That this is not what we consider human rights that this isn't what we consider athletic competition if you wanna manufacture kids call what is -- child abuse.
It's abduction it's kidnapping I don't like to mince words in my office as a psychiatrist or here with give.
They have a long history -- of taking athletes from their families when they're young.
And that there was a report.
Well first of all they have a long history of cheating as well -- Back in 2000 they try to get this fourteen year old mother -- -- Olympic team successfully they did Jim this -- they wound up losing their bronze medal when it came out that she was not of age.
But there's no respect for the fact that there's a reason there's a sixteen year old age limit.
These are children.
Look up to don't get me wrong there I mean I'm not -- back at the for the country.
That's accused of widespread computer hacking to steal industrial secrets the United States -- -- an element in the kids -- -- about it and where your daughter would you like it.
She's plucked -- you know plucked out of school you don't see year.
Decisions made by the government that shall be a swimmer and that's the end of your decision making capacity to grow our daughter of course not but I think what would be to be on the agenda this for this discussion.
-- Olympic drug testing and whether the whether the Olympic drug testing cops are up to this challenge are they not know when it hit an.
I think there's a little while it's messing up did you yank about a school you put him in the state run camp.
And end it there in the pool all day long term deals are controlled they don't have access to their family but -- -- to pump -- full of drugs you take it to a new Obama.
You do take -- the level listen that's easy right to me because you can test them.
Perhaps I'm in every one might agree look the drugs that's not good especially in kids I'd say the same thing though if I could it if it could be prove it.
That these kids were removed from their families that.
In human separation occurred.
-- -- compete let me take credit medals away and Alex you just as bad.
-- -- -- did you eulogy it's worse than steroids worse.
A hundred times worse I want to tell the viewers that take a look at the womb -- -- she's she won us a third Olympic gold medal.
She's a Chinese -- we've got her picture standby.
It just came out that her both of her grandparents died this past year and her mother had breast cancer and -- they're admitting publicly that they deprived her of this in for patient.
So she lost both grandparents affection -- -- They decided not to tell her until after she went for the gold.
Because the whole system over there is rigged to protect the chances for gold in this her was her father who said I don't think about things like enjoyed him in happiness.
And say quote we -- a long time ago that she doesn't.
Entirely to us.
Absolutely because this is a culture that tells mothers who want their kids know -- gonna have aborted.
This is -- could a culture that says even though you may have intellectual property we don't care were stealing it.
There's a culture that says you may want your kids to grow up playing in the streets enjoying a lot they're gonna go to work in a factory we are a whole lot different from this culture.
You know I was in Beijing.
And and I didn't hear a lot of these this talk that and so I mean the people who had the opportunity go on the record four years ago weren't there when I did see -- -- though.
Was a lot of confusion about drug testing that thing may have been purposeful -- that's what I think we see here.
Is the question -- are the Olympics up to testing to take care to catch the cheaters they're -- a coming out of these systems.
Each winning here and the bigger slice out questions remain a cultural problem for now Donna thank you both so much.

The Excellence in Road Safety Awards ceremony, the most important event of the European Road Safety Charter initiative, was held on 12 November 2008 in Brussels.
This third edition brought together high-level representatives of the European Commission and more than 150 representatives involved in road safety actions from all 27 Member States. The ceremony was chaired by Mr Antonio Tajani, Vice-President of the European Commission responsible for Transport, who welcomed "the growing interest in the Charter from civil society and the private sector", stressing that "the reduction of the number of victims is not just the responsibility of the public authorities". The European Road Safety Charter currently has more than 1,200 signatories representing companies, associations, institutions and public authorities. The Vice-President Tajani and the Director for Inland Transport at the European Commission, Mr Enrico Grillo Pasquarelli, presented six signatories with an awards in recognition of their efforts to safer roads in Europe:
- FirstGroup plc (United Kingdom) – Large companies and multinationals' category
- A.E.K. Football Club (Greece) – SME's category
- Madrid Association of Roadside Assistance Companies (Spain) – Federations and associations' category
- Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering, University of Ljubljana (Slovenia) – Institutions' category
- Qrendi Scout Group (Malta) – NGO's category
- Braşov City Hall (Romania) - Regions and Cities' category
These signatories have adopted a pro-active attitude, contributing to the achievement of a shared goal: improving road safety conditions. At local, regional, national or European level, their commitments have brought a road safety concept to life. To demonstrate their involvement in road safety prevention initiatives, 15 new European representatives signed the European Road Safety Charter in the presence of Ms Isabelle Kardacz, Head of the Road Safety Unit at the Directorate-General For Energy and Transport of the European Commission:
- ASIROM – Vienna Insurance Group (Romania)

Ok, so first of all, this will be taking place on another site. Secondly, there is a large opening for romance elements, but are not required.
I have a character in my signature that is called "Lye". I hate the old name, but this character dates about 10 years ago. I found the old site I used to role play on and it is a great place for advanced players with an active economy and "leveling" structure. I want to start back up on there and continue some of his story, however back in those days, I was a very angry youth. This character of mine is obsessed with revenge for the loss of his fiance. So much so, that he has forgotten her, his past, and the 1 year old daughter he left behind. Currently, his daughter should be 5 or 6 years old. What I need is someone to help me "tame" him by playing a thread with him/me.
Basic Theme:
Fantasy setting, with everything laid out on Althanas.com. You may want to do some "light" reading. I need your character to find a way to tame mine. The only way for you to really get under my character's madness is to play a strong female role, an exceedingly brilliant/wise male role, or a exceptionally vulnerable female role (preferably showing some resemblance to his lost fiance). He is a ruthless man with unique abilities and little room for compassion. He is, however, very sly and spends time weaving intricate lies and deception when not enraged.
I need someone willing to read his character sheet and the two threads posted for him in my signature, marked "[Archive]". Then, please contact me via PM if you are willing to take on the task. This will require you to sign up on Althanas.com, create and get your Character Sheet, get the character approved by the staff, then work with me on a setting and interaction idea to help "soothe the inner demon".
Please PM me if interested and understand this will take a lot of collaboration on both parts.

World's Most Expensive Porsche Sells for $4 Million in Monterey
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Auctions
A rare 1970s Porsche racecar just fetched $4 million at Bonhams' sale in Monterey, setting a new world record for the most expensive Porsche ever sold at auction. The stunning and historic car, the ex-Jurgen Neuhaus/Jurgen Barth 1972-73 European Interserie and David Hobbs/Mike Hailwood Gulf-JW Automotive team 1972-73 Porsche 917 Interserie Spyder, neé 1970 Gulf-JWA Le Mans 917K Coupe (above), was hammered down after fierce bidding.

In short: The highlight of the year for meIn full: What a fantastic race yet again put on by Albert and the team. Very, very hot but this just added to the village like atmosphere at the end when you can lie in a hay field with a pint of Harveys listening to the band while you recover. You need your strength back in order to cart off the loaded goody bag!Extra loos this year (nice to see) and a piper who led the entrants down to the start line plus was there to greet us at the Rosemary Lane section.This is how you put on not just a race but an event for the whole family - fantastic.Date of review: July 7, 2013
In short: Great value race - a few extra touched would make it even betterIn full: Really like this one although the quiet country lanes with few spectators are not for all. Personally this is one of my favourites and back most years when I can. Superb value too.Improvements that would be nice to see include extra marshalls for the loos like you see at Tunbridge Wells! There were two separate queues at one point and a few people getting a bit irate! Otherwise bottled water would be good and worth adding a pound or two to the already low entry fee to cover.Biggest improvement though is for the traffic - how the hell do you get out of Paddock Wood after the race?! Best to bring a picnic or go shopping for an hour or two rather than sit in the traffic jam!Otherwise great stuff, see you next year.Date of review: April 14, 2013
In short: I like this one but more needs to be done to make this an 'event'In full: Race itself is fine - would rather not have the lap of the field first (extend elsewhere) but things like just 7 x loos for 700 or so runners smacks of using this for club revenue generator. This is also shown in the finish with the worst medal you could hope for (I would rather nothing - save the medals for the big races and give us a cheaper entry) and half a banana. Come on for £16/18 and 95% of the race on a prom where is the money going? At least provide some more loos perhaps...Nice and flat route with a good view out to sea to occupy your mind while you plod on through the 4 x mile straight route along the prom (and back again). Marshalls were all great and you always have the chance to post a fast time here (depending on the wind direction!). I will be back but hope to see some improvements next year.Date of review: March 30, 2013
In short: Brilliant race with some of the best organisation out thereIn full: Fantastic event - have done this race several times but always look forward to it and 2013 was no exception.Special note to the marshalls who were brilliant throughout - especially those managing the huge queues for the loos. Great system used to ensure runners progress through quickly!There is just the one change that I would make to this race - water in bottles please. The cups are so hard to drink from - perhaps introduce just 2 x drink stations with bottles? The other downside with cups this year was the bitter cold - spill it on your hands and I froze! Wow, that was cold yesterday.Well done again TW - see you next year.Date of review: February 25, 2013
In short: Fantastic race that spans countries!In full: Really enjoyed this one. Chester is a great place to visit anyway and having the race so near the city centre made the whole thing even better for runners. It is clear the race has been put together by runners as they have thought of everything to make this a special race.Only changes I would ask for are the standard more loos please - the queue was really long! and not so keen on the grass track but not sure how they could fix this as it starts and finishes on Chester racecourse!Much more bumpy than I expected - sure they were not big hills but there were lots of them and 2 or 3 at the end which made it extra hard! The cobble stones were fun too! Good support from the villages which you found every 5-miles or so with a couple of 2m straights which meant you could see way off in to the distance! Water, gels, isotonic drink stops were frequent and very well managed - think London Marathon and you get the idea. Please change the Sainsbury's orange though - it is so sweet you hate the sight of it by the end! Names on vests meant you got lots of support too. Great finish with handshakes and a nice welcome from the finish team.I am sure I will be back for this one (travelled 200m or so for this) so thanks again Chester - great stuff.Date of review: October 8, 2012
In short: Well done to all for a superbly organised half marathonIn full: First time for this race and first impressions from West Kent College race HQ were superb. A great location with warm, indoor, areas for changing, warm-up, drinks etc., and very friendly and efficient bag storage - special praise to the lady who looked at race numbers on your vest and directed you left or right to the drop-off area!This also has to be the first race I have ever been to that had too many loos - no queues! It threw my pre-race build up - felt I had to form a line somewhere for that authentic build-up!!Course was quite a challenge with lots of hills but all fairly tame - my Garmin registered it as more a series of bumps than hills! Weather turned out OK for a race in the end but felt for the supporters and marshalls who were all brilliant. Someone else mentioned the markers - I also noticed the half way point was far too early and the last mile seemed a bit long. I registered 13.22m for the course.Great to see Kaddy Lee Preston and Dame Kelly who was, as always, fantastic and stood in the rain for ages putting medals over the heads of so many very wet (sweaty!) runners!In summary, superb location, organisation, facilities, marshalls... I could go on. Brilliant.Date of review: September 24, 2012
In short: The best 10k in my race diary!In full: Absolutely love this race. The organisers put on a great even with the centre of Battle closed off to cars for the start which sees a fair amount of the local residents come out to cheer you on. Superb stuff and well worth looking out for this race next year.The course has a fast downhill for the first third then up you go before a gently downhill to the finish where you find a huge number of supporters and a band to welcome you home.In terms of improvements I would suggest posting the results as they come in rather than to wait until the last runner is back. Otherwise perfect!See you next year - thanks Battle.Date of review: September 2, 2012
In short: The best organised race there is!In full: OK, I may be a Wadhurst Runner but I ran the event and therefore qualified to review! For me this event is the best there is - the attention to detail is simply stunning with so many plus points for both the runner and friends/family it is hard to detail them all.Special mention though to Albert for the hard work that goes in to this event, the girls (girl guides?) who ran the 5m water/lucozade station (with great encouragement given to the runners) and the beer at the end!The course was trick today with some mud around and a tough call in terms of road/trail shoes. I went with road but wish I hadn't! Otherwise everything lick clockwork - perhaps too many drink stations as I felt guilty wasting so much and 2 x sponge stations too - was looking out for the on-course massage but no trace!The finish is great with a brass band, cakes, beer (new for 2012 and very nice) and a goody bag that is well thought out. Plus more drinks/bananas should you need them.I encourage anyone interested in this type of race/distance to come along next year. You will not be disappointed. Thanks again everyone.Date of review: July 1, 2012
In short: The best marathon in the worldIn full: Not much else to add to the comments given other than to say thanks to all of the people who turned out to watch and cheer the runners plus to all of the marshalls who did so well.Only change I would make would be at the green start - why do the celebs start on the front line? They should at least have a dividing line allowing the pen 1 runners to go passed on the left of right.Other than this it is perfect - have run it many times and it is always the highlight of my year to run it again. See you in 2013 London.Date of review: April 24, 2012
In short: Good for goats!In full: This is my 2nd Sussex Marathon and wow, is this one hilly. Last year was about 1,800ft of climbs and I thought that was hard but the new course was more than 2,300ft. It was quite relentless with, it seems, hardly any flat parts at all. I know you have the downhills but with tired legs these are just as punishing as the climbs!Weather was superb and the organisation and marshalls all excellent - great encouragement from marshalls and St Johns Ambulance people throughout. Nice to have bottled water on the course too - you need this in order to take on fluids which is much harder with cups.Timing - being 3-weeks before London - was better than the 2-weeks last year and this allows sufficient recovery for those of us attempting both.Not sure about the course distance - I measured just short of 26.5m and others I checked with on the day all similar long mileage (not quite as bad as mine).In terms of improvements for next year I would welcome a look at the course - it is largely a 2-lap event and the final mile up the hill, which you do twice, is a killer. It would be good to have some areas that flatten out to recover.The jump up to the village green at Rushlake Green was also unwelcome (and the jump back down to the road) along with the long grass.Ultimately though this is a very tough race but one that is extremely well put together. Thanks for everything yesterday and hope to be back next year.Date of review: April 2, 2012

If you know a technology well, should you use it for new projects?
Or you should try to objectively choose the "right" technology for the problem at hand?
If you go with what you know, you can get started faster, but you might paint yourself into a corner or waste time later.
Doing the "right thing" is good in 3 years, but what if your startup never makes it that far?

The ELMA group aims to establish the University of Newcastle as a site of international research excellence in regard to scholarship on the leadership, management, and administration of educational institutions. Drawing upon a diverse range of theoretical perspectives, the ELMA group explicitly interrogates the theoretical and methodological challenges of educational leadership, management and administration scholarship in the context of shifting social, cultural, political and temporal conditions. Additionally, and crucially, the group's primary purpose is creating a research environment dedicated to fostering and delivering internationally recognised research and research training. This is achieved through structured internal research dialogue and establishing collaborations with key national and international research centres and leading individual researchers in the area to develop new and groundbreaking theories and methodologies relevant to the contemporary world.

This pump ran for 14 hours the day after Huricane Sandy to pump out my crawl space.No problems at all. It pumped down to less than a .25 inch of water, and shut itself off on thermal overload protectionl. Wonderful little pump, a lifesaver. Manahwkin NJ

I connected my garden hoses, a total of 125 feet. I was draining a swimming pool into the drain that is located in my garage. the pump worked non stop for about 99 hours. As the pool drained, i moved the pump to deeper areas, from 4ft to 9ft deep. the grid at the bottom was easy to remove. I think it will last for a lot of uses.ps. the pool contains between 18,000 to 19,000 gallons.

I have a pond in my backyard that has a water fall and I have used this same pump for 10 years and finally now just had to replace it. I kept the pump in the pond all year long and it just kept on working and working. I would recommend this pump to anybody for part use or full time use. It has excellent head pressure and will pump water very efficiently at 30 feet, I have not tried it any higher. Overall excellent pump for the money.

During heavy rains I found myself with 5 inches of water in the crawlspace under my house, and needed a way to get it out. I was admittedly forced into this pump as it was the only thing left on the shelves of any nearby store for the purpose. It worked like a charm! I used the hose adapter and a regular garden hose, and it ran for about 7 hours without issue. I was amazed at how quiet it was and it puts out a pretty good flow of water. I had no issues with clogging or anything like that even though the water had lots of stuff floating in it. I had to sit it right in the dirt towards the end but it still just kept pumping. I got it down to less than an inch before I called it quits for the night (It doesn't shut off automatically) After I was done I removed the screen and filter plate, and it was easy to clean. Only had to use it once so far, but to echo another comment, it worked when I needed it!
La Fargeville, NY
Just purchased yesterday and had to use today to pump out over 6 inches of water in cellar after extended rain had caused sewer system to become overwhelmed. Used the 1-1/4 inch discharge hose that is purchased seperate for $9 and cellar was pumped out in less than four hours with good flow rate. Had to secure the pump to ground at times due to the water pressure through the 1-1/4 inch hose causing the pump to fall over but not a big deal for the occasional use. Hope pump is reliable over time, however, I do plan to purchase a second one just in case as back up.

Mine is finally going out it seems. I have to use mine every rainy season for about the last 10 years. Maybe 6 hours a year over dozens of starts a year. Maybe 60 to 100 hours use so its been pretty good. 2 times I've had to take off the bottom plate because a small rock jammed the impeller. But it worked fine after. First time every time. Its finally getting touchy. It seems to be jamming very easily and also maybe the internal overload protector may be kicking in. The screws rusted so I cant open it to see if its jammed but it doesn't seem like the same problem as before. Anyway called sears to get a replacement. The guy said its a ltd lifetime warranty. He would take it in for repair but no exchange besides he was sold out of pumps. Just wanted to say its a very good pump but I bought it so I could just run in and swap in an emergency but that's a no go. I just wish they would have made that more clear.
