As the new face of Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Dare fragrance, Marisa Miller is on the road to being a one-namer (think Heidi, Cindy, Naomi). I caught up with her recently in New York and got her to spill some beauty secrets. Most surprising, however, was that the California native has eschewed suntanning over the last few years and believes it has saved her skin.

Even though there are hundreds (thousands?) of self-tanners out there, I’m pretty lazy about using them. It’s just so much work to exfoliate, wipe on the tanner, and wait for the tan to build. I want instant results, dangit.

I'm usually not one to insult a product outright, but the new limited-edition
Victoria's Secret Heavenly Kiss Eau de Parfum ($49) gets two thumbs down. I polled friends, neighbors, and family, and their reactions all included underwhelming words such as "ick, gross, too sweet, too strong, and really sugary."
I'd love to be able to defend the fragrance and explain that it's more than just sugar water, but as it turns out, it contains marshmallow and toffee notes.

Last night at the
Country Music Awards in Las Vegas, model Karolina Kurkova glowed from the inside out on the red carpet.
The Czech beauty's hair was loose, long,
layered, and shiny (despite being straight-ironed) and her makeup looked fresh, clean, and polished. Doesn't she just exude cheerfulness with that gorgeous high-wattage smile?
