New summer makeup; Gwen Stefani's new fragrances; get smooth, soft skin; and find out how to glow in the dark.
Summer Eyes
Oh, we love Stila Cosmetics, with its gorgeous, femme colors and so-cute packaging. The latest offering, a limited-edition summer eye shadow palette, is our current obsession. It has shimmery, summery shades that go on subtle and light — perfect for the season. The palette includes Ray (golden copper), Mystic (aqua-blue), Kitten (nude-pink, and one of Stila's most popular colors), Wheat (a pearlescent beige), Prize (a soft gold) and Sun (golden peach). Check it out, and more, at www.stilacosmetics.com.
Close Shave
Now that we're in skin-baring season, stubble or dry patches on your legs or under your arms just won't do. Enter Shave Crave, the moisturizing shaving cream from the oh-so-caring folks over at Whish Body. Instead of swiping your dad's rusted can of foam, pick up a jar (or brand-new pump) of this creamy, dreamy stuff. The formula, created just for women, uses natural ingredients and essential oils and gives your skin a perfect, smooth finish. And in yummy flavors like almond, blueberry-mint, lemongrass, papaya coconut and pomegranate, you'll have more fun while you shave, too. Visit www.whishbody.com to buy.
Celebrate Worthy Women
Do you want to honor a wonderful woman in your community? Then nominate her in the third annual Women of Worth grassroots awards program sponsored by L'Oréal Paris. The initiative celebrates women from across the country for their inspiring volunteer work. Ten honorees will receive $5,000 for their cause and $5,000 donated in their name to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, and one national honoree (chosen by public vote this fall) will receive an additional $25,000 for her cause. Nominations are accepted until June 16 at www.womenofworth.com, so hurry!
Glow in the Dark
'Heroes' star Kristen Bell has joined with Jergens to raise awareness about the risks of tanning, and they want you to join them, too. If you pledge to avoid overdoing those dangerous rays, you could be one of 500 people chosen to receive a sample of Jergens Natural Glow Express Body Moisturizer and a limited-edition 'I Glow in the Dark' tee that, yes, does really glow in the dark. Jergens will also contribute money to the Skin Cancer Foundation for every pledge made (so you can do some good while entering to win!). Log on to www.jergens.com to find out more.
Gwen Stefani's Fragrance News
What's happening this September? Superstar Gwen Stefani is taking the fragrance world by storm with her Harajuku Lovers collection. Inspired by her and her four real-life backup singers (Love, Angel, Music and Baby), Gwen is making five different fragrances based on their diverse personalities and style. The bottle, according to WWD.com, will have the glass base holding the scent, and a doll crafted in the image of one of the five women. They'll be reasonably priced (small bottles will retail for $25, the larger size on $45) so that fans can pick up more than one. Gwen's also working on a new No Doubt album, a spring 2009 line for L.A.M.B., and oh, yeah, her second baby, due later this year. Whew!
