Your beauty wish: "Get down to my ideal weight and stay there."

Beauty wish granted: We got a slew of wishes ranging from "a faster metabolism" to "being thinner" to "no cellulite" to "being more toned" to "having a flat stomach" to "maintaining [the] same weight forever." Short of pumping up your exercise routine, changing your eating habits and/or getting lypo -- try faking a toned bod in the meantime with these tips:

Tip 1: Celeb fitness and lifestyle expert Ashley Borden shares what to eat and drink to quickly de-bloat:

� Eat dark leafy greens and celery; lean proteins like grilled salmon, white fish and chicken (minus the salt); and any fruit that has a high water content, like watermelon, oranges, or grapefruit.
� Drink 100 ounces of water, and add lemon to some of those ounces to flush sodium out of your system.
� Take a digestive enzyme with each meal, to help you digest your food, prevent gas buildup and de-bloat.

Tip 2: Celebrity tanning expert, Jimmy Coco, says having a darker tan is like wearing black -- darker is always more slimming. (Pssst � the last wish granted will show you how to get your best faux tan ever.)

Tip 3: Slim down your face with makeup and hair tricks. The most slimming hair length is one that falls below the collarbone and just above your bra strap, says celebrity hairstylist Kate Seguin. Avoid one-length bobs that fall between the chin and above the collarbone. See more ways to fake weight loss with these makeup and hairstyle tricks.
