Megan Fox is no stranger to Armani; she already appears in Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans advertisements all over the country. Today, WWD reports that Fox has just signed on to be the new face of Armani Cosmetics and will be replacing current model for the cosmetic line, Lara Stone.

Betsey Johnson To Launch Cosmetic Line
Betsey Johnson already makes clothes, swimsuits, handbags, shoes, jewelry, fragrance and sunglasses but she doesn’t have cosmetics…yet!
Yesterday, the Betsey Johnson brand signed a five year agreement with Inter Parfums Inc to develop and distribute a line of fragrances and color cosmetics.
First on the agenda? A new take on the designer’s original perfume which will be launched next month. Next, a new fragrance collection and a cosmetic line are scheduled to be released in 2011.
“I am so excited about making happy “trails” with Inter Parfums! They get my vibe. Love my scent and bottle ideas; I’m going for a come hither scent. I know my girlfriends are going to enjoy this one”
-Betsey Johnson

Shu Uemura leaves the US!
Shu Uemura Exits the U.S Market
6EG9M2D69P5P
Well, today is a sad day for Shu Uemura fans!! L’Oreal, who owns international rights to Shu Uemura, has just announced that they will be pulling the makeup line out of the United States! Most well known for their cult favorite eyelash curler, cleansing oils and luxury lashes, Shu Uemura has been a staple in many artist’s kits for years. Apparently, Shu Uemura only brings in
$20 million dollars annually in the United States, and L’Oreal has decided to focus their efforts on their other luxury brands. Carol Hamilton, president of L’Oreal’s US luxury division states:
“Going forward, we decided that L’Oreal USA would bebetter served by focusing on our other strategic luxury brands like Lancôme, Yves Saint Laurent, Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, Kiehl’s, and fragrances.”
The brand will no longer be available in retail stores but you can still purchase it online 
Chanel To Sell Temporary Tattoos!
Les Trompe L’Oeil de CHANEL
Remember when I told you that body art was the new “it-thing” in the fashion world (here)? Well, Chanel has now made it possible for the mainstream public take part in the trend!
At their Spring/Summer 2010 runway show in Paris last year, we caught a glimpse of several fake tattoos gracing the legs, calves and chests of Chanel’s models. Everyone has been dying to know if the temporary ink will be released to retail, and the confirmation has finally been given!
Les Trompe L’Oeil de CHANEL Temporary Skin Art will be a collection of 55 temporary tattoos, retailing at $75. The price is surprisingly dirt-cheap for Chanel, so I foresee tons of women picking these up in an effort to display the coveted Double C’s somewhere on their body! lol.
The collection will be released mid-February.
I’m dying to see if this trend sparks and blows up, with other companies following suit! How funny would it be if everyone started changing up their tattoos on a regular basis?
I actually like how pretty and girly the Chanel tattoos look, but I don’t think I’ll be purchasing them.
Will you be wearing Chanel tattoos this Spring??
The First Eco-Friendly Fragrance
Nautica Goes Green!
I’m a little behind on the bandwagon with this one, but having just saw an ad for this cologne that was released last April, I thought I would share anyway!
Nautica has released the first Eco-Friendly Fragrance called Oceans. It’s special biodegradable, water-based formula is not only good for the environment, but also for your skin! It’s gentler and longer lasting than most alcohol based colognes, and the packaging is made from biodegradable materials.
It smells really good too! Very fresh and clean. It’s ingredients consist of Ocean Air, Lemon Tonic, Sea Salt Rose, Lavender Reef, Geranium, Amber Crystals and Regatta Accord. The scent is not incredibly unique, but if you are looking for an environmental friendly fragrance for your man, this is it!

Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper For MAC
MAC Announces Their Newest Viva Glam Spokeswomen!
Move over Fergie!! Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper have been announced as MAC’s newest spokeswomen for their popular campaign, Viva Glam. Their “From Our Lips Campaign” will contain two new lipsticks, one called “Viva Glam Gaga” and the other called “Viva Glam Cyndi.” MAC has raised over $150,000,000 for AIDS since the inception of Viva Glam in 1994, and will no doubt earn a lot more with these women on board!
The new campaign will be released February 25, 2010 and the Gaga/Cyndi lipsticks will be available March 18, 2010. Each lipstick will cost $14 and 100% of the proceeds go toward finding a cure for AIDS!
Prescriptives is Going Out of Business
Good-Bye Prescriptives!
Makeup brand, Prescriptives, announced on their website several days ago that they will be closing their retail counters on January 31, 2009. Prescriptives has been around for 30 years, and was made popular by their unique custom blending. Working at the Prescriptives counter was one of my first jobs so this makes me sad! They did have awesome skincare, and I know a lot of ladies that are going to be very upset by this news. You can still buy Prescriptives products on their website while supplies last, but the manufacturing has stopped for good. Estee Lauder announced the sad news yesterday.
RIP Prescriptives!!
