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:

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors,
Plus-size Model Crystal Renn recently sat down to give more of an explanation as to why her weight seems to be dropping so rapidly. The 24-year-old, who had been heralded over the past year for her size 12 dress size, appeared on the catwalk for the Chanel Resort collection looking much thinner than before.
When fans of the curvy model threw up their arms and angrily typed away at their keyboards, her agent made a statement assuring fans that she was still a "solid size 10," and there was nothing more to worry over.
Renn has since appeared in a coveted Chanel campaign, as well as having walked for Lagerfeld, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Zac Posen this past season. The more publicity the model attracts, the more people notice that she's slowly starting to lose weight again. Her answer? Exercise!
"Well, I’m so active. In the past, I avoided exercise because it brought back terrible feelings. I wasn’t ready. And I was scared that maybe I was going to be addicted again. That’s a fear that goes through your mind, whenever you’re getting over an addiction or a disease like anorexia, yeah, I absolutely was worried. But then I guess you could say my life changed in a really drastic way," she explains.

Justin Bieber to Unveil Perfume
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
As if nail polish wasn't enough. Justin Bieber is launching his own fragrance. The "Baby" singer, who recently revealed plans to sell his own line of dolls, is teaming up with Etoile Nation Beauty to create wristbands and dog tags imbedded with a unisex fragrance and said he has been involved in choosing the new scent.
"They actually brought me a bunch of stuff to smell today. One of them smelled too young, too fruity. One was really good," he told WWD.
The new perfume will be priced at $10 and is described as having "a combination of top notes of bergamot, lychee and pomegranate, a heart of cedar glimmers and a dry down of musk."
"This Justin Bieber juggernaut is never going to end. Justin is a total grassroots phenomenon," said Etoile Nation Beauty president Michael Ferrara. Michael thinks that the My World collection - which will feature four different designs including Icon, Energy, Tour and Web - will be successful because fans will be able to "to stack, mix and match, trade and take the scent on the go."
Which celebrity fragrance does Justin favor? "I actually like the Britney Spears perfume on girls. It smells good."
Hilary Duff Regrets Her Skinny Phase
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News, Rumors,
Hilary Duff regrets how thin she allowed herself to get when she was a teenager. The singer and actress paid too much attention to what other people thought of her appearance when she was younger and forced herself to keep to a strict diet of steamed vegetables and grilled chicken, even though she knew she was too thin.
"I got pretty skinny when I was between 17 and 19. At the time I was starting to become aware of what people said about me and how I looked in pictures. I regret it because I don't think I was happy then," she told Health magazine.
Hilary, now 23, said she was going through a difficult period at the time - dealing with her break-up from then boyfriend rocker Joel Madden - but eventually her now-husband, ice hockey player Mike Comrie, helped get her back on track. "It really helps to have a partner that loves everything about you and makes you feel really beautiful."

Erin O’Connor Grateful For Short Hair
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Hairstyles, Health & Beauty, Models,
Erin O'Connor only became a successful model after cutting off all her hair.
The 32-year-old beauty says she wasn't getting very many jobs when she first started out in the industry because she looked so similar to the other girls, so took advice and chopped off her long locks.
"When I first began modeling I was very conventional looking - I had hair down to my waist. I went on a photo shoot and a make-up artist told me 'You need to cut off your hair - it's doing you no favors. If you do that we'll see you.' A new identity was born for me - quite tough, quite unapologetic but definitely there."
Erin recently revealed she has no plans to retire from the catwalk, despite being one of the more older models. "I hate that idea of retirement or 'You're past your sell-by-date.' That is very odd, because, for me, it is about moving, showcasing and being an outrageous poser. You'd think after 15 years I would be bored, but I'm not. The catwalk is like liberation, because there is a bit of performance involved, a bit of skill thrown in, so it doesn't matter what age you are."

Self-Conscious, Prada-Loving Carey Mulligan
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News,
Carey Mulligan hates wearing revealing clothes. The actress says she feels "self-conscious" when she wears outfits that are too short or tight and likes to don clothes she feels comfortable in.
"I don't like wearing tight things and I'm self-conscious about clothes that are too short. Doing the red-carpet stuff is intimidating enough, so I'm wearing a lot of Prada, as the clothes are a perfect shape for me, because I'm bottom-heavy. Or else, I wear unconventional things, because then it feels as if I'm putting on a costume."
As well as feeling nervous on the red carpet, Carey hates posing for photo shoots, saying, "I'm not great at having my photo taken, so I often look like I don't want to be there. Staring down the barrel of a camera feels quite unnatural."
The British beauty also refuses to bow to the pressure in Hollywood to slim down: "I don't want to look like an actor. I want to look like a normal person. Normal people don't go to the gym six times a week. After I had my appendix out, I went down to 50kg and I realized that my brain doesn't work when I'm that thin."
