Dancing With the Stars: The Beauty Breakdown

There were two outfits tonight, to go with the two dances, but since the hair and makeup didn't seem to change, I'm only reviewing the first looks of the evening. Here's my take this week:
Samantha Harris: Love the black dress with the sparkly taupe inset in the neckline. So pretty and elegant. But I am starting to get tired of the hair, which always seems to be parted down the middle and poufy these days. I was loving it at first, but now it's getting old. Still, I love her and think she always looks beautiful and sophisticated.
The Star:
Laila Ali: Wow! So gorgeous and elegant and amazing. Loved the silvery smoky eyes and sheer glossy lips with the sleek, shiny hair. I also loved the white ensemble, which was so flattering and pretty on her. I liked the fat that it had a bare midriff, because for some reason she looks better the less she wears. It really shows off her toned body.
The Dancers:
Edyta: I love the gorgeous yellow gown, which looked beautiful with her skin tone, though I could have done without the gloves. I know they were essential for the look, though. Not sure about her hair, which was in a middle-parted updo/low ponytail thing, and blonder than usual. I liked the unfussiness of the updo, but not the center part. Her makeup was pretty though, with rosy cheeks and eyes. Fresh and lovely without being overdone.
Julianne: Again, so cute! Such pretty hair, with a side ponytail and a kind of bouffant on top. It looks really adorable and slightly retro tonight. I also loved her soft, pretty natural makeup, with slightly smoky eyes and sheer pink lips and glowing cheeks. I also thought the baby blue gown was so pretty and innocent and youthful. Loved it.
Cheryl Burke: Hated the costume, which seemed so stiff and heavy at the top and just all wrong. I also hated her hair, which looked like it had a bad choppy haircut with too short bangs. I never quite get her hair. The shag is not blended properly and looks strange. But I love her makeup: her skin is amazing, and she wore glowing neutral shades that complemented it perfectly. So pretty!
Karina Smirnoff: I thought the pink dress with the chiffon drape was pretty on her, and her hair looked really pretty, except that there was something weaving through it like a headband or something, that I couldn't quite make out and didn't work for me. Her makeup was just gorgeous, with smoky eyes, rosy cheeks and hot pink lips. Really flattering and pretty.
Kim: Fun, sassy little outfit, although I would have appreciated it more if the sheer gaucho part of the leg wasn't there. Her hair as always looked odd and slightly dated. Really puffy, with some weird strange roll in the bangs and on the sides of her head. So odd. Her makeup was nice, if a little heavy on the eyes. It closed up her eyes which are already a little small. The bronze blush and pink lips were pretty, though.
