Avril Lavigne’s Sally Hansen Collaboration

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,

Avril Lavigne has collaborated with Sally Hansen's Salon Effects brand on a new nail collection.

The singer - who designs her own fashion line Abbey Dawn - has created a limited edition selection of nail polish strips inspired by her style and music which will launch in April and come with a cuticle stick, a mini-file and buffer and instructions for at-home application.

"This is pretty much the coolest thing, because I also do clothing - I love clothing, nails and fragrance, hair, makeup, all that . I was really excited about the Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips - especially since they're superquick. You clean your nails, peel the strips and apply them, file and go. I'm superfast at it, so it takes me like five minutes to do my nails. And it's supercool because the designs that I came up with are my personal style and vibe - they're rock 'n' roll and fun and bright. You have sparkles and little stars - they are cute. For me, I'll be flying on a plane and be like, 'S**t, I need to do my nails.' I can do these on a plane; I've done them in the car. I'm a really visual person; I like creating, and I love to have fun. I think this offers self-expression, and it's a really smart, versatile way to show your style. I think my fans will really like it, because it's easy and simple and fun."

Dita Von Teese Keen For Own Cosmetics, Perfume Lines

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News,

Dita Von Teese wants her own make-up line. The burlesque dancer, who was a spokesperson for the MAC AIDS Fund in 2006 and 2007, says she is keen to have own cosmetics range because she feels not every woman is catered for.

"I want to do my own make-up line, because I feel like things are missing in the world. I'm constantly trying to mix up colors. Also, I mix my own body make-up. I love the idea of beautiful packaging for cosmetics. I use a lot of vintage powder compacts, and I buy vintage lipstick tubes and transfer lip colors into them. I put my MAC lipstick into my vintage Helena Rubinstein tubes. I love the look of matte, velvety lips. Every girl should have a matte red and a matte fuchsia. And that's so hard to find these days."

As well as wanting her own make-up line, Dita - who is famed for her vintage-inspired wardrobe and glamorous look - is keen to release her own fragrance because she hates smelling like anyone else:

Halle Berry Reveals New Perfume

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News, Sales,

Halle Berry is launching her third new fragrance.

The Oscar-winning beauty has joined forces with cosmetics giant Coty to produce her new “floral” perfume Reveal. The 43-year-old admits she has been surprised by the success of her perfume range so far - her debut scent Halle by Halle Berry was launched last year and Pure Orchid just five months ago - and wanted to expand it further because she loves wearing different fragrances.

“I’ve always wanted to have my own scent. When I was younger, I never wanted to smell like every other girl in class. Even as an adult, I’d mix different perfumes together. Some days it would be great and people would say, ‘Oh, what fragrance is that?’ And I would say, ‘Well, it’s about five different ones!’”

Steve Mormoris, senior vice president of global marketing at Coty, said, “Halle is an actress and a very emotional person - she loves art and beauty, and she’s a great creator. Halle’s fragrances resonate with the consumer much more than we thought. We are double in size.”

Rimmel Recruits Coco Rocha and Georgia Jagger

Step aside, Grandma

Kate Moss—rock daughter Georgia Jagger and it girl Coco Rocha are signing their faces away to represent cosmetic giant Rimmel London.

Set to front the Spring/Summer ‘10 campaign, the pair sound like a bit of an odd coupling; however, senior vice president of global marketing at Coty Beauty Stephen Mormoris doesn’t think so:

“We needed a wider palette of faces to show the makeup results of our new products… Rimmel embodies the London look, which is very resonant with young people all over the world who look to London as a centre of multiculturalism and freedom of expression.”

It’s obvious why Rocha was brought on board; Jagger was picked for being “edgy, experimental and provocative.” I’m sure it has nothing to do with her parentage…

Mormoris also revealed that the company plans to bring three more models to the campaign by January—guaranteeing that each will be of different ethnic background. We’ll be keeping you to your word, Mormoris.
