Things men never have to think of: Lipstick
Was there not a person among her that could pull out a Lifesaver covered Kleenex and help the poor woman?
Nars Andy Warhol collection
Ahhhh, I have this blue print in an Andy Warhol collection purse. I cannot wait to get it in an eyeshadow! Set to release November 2012.
Beauty cult favorite Yu-Be now available in the US
Chances are you’ve heard about Yu-Be’s #1 selling, medicated skin creams, but when was the last time you were in Japan to try it out?
Good news! Yu-Be is taking the world by storm via internet and brick & mortar, and has a few new tricks up the sleeve. Four products now grace the line. If you’ve never tried the original, you’ll now be able to sample everything (literally) from a sample option on the Yu-Be website:
CLEANSE: Yu-Be Foaming Skin Polish (New)
The scrub comes in a shower friendly tube and includes rice bran, bamboo (one of my favorite body exfoliates), green tea and…camphor. Camphor, menthol and the like are highly loved scents in Asia and partially account for the medicinal properties of the line. The scent is mild in the scrub, but the scrub is very scrubby. I like really brisk scrubs, so for me this wasn’t rough, but you may want to sample first if you have sensitive skin. This scrub is also a foaming cleanser, and I like products that pull double duty.
REPLENISH: Yu-Be Body Lotion (New)
The new Moisturizing Body Lotion is a fluid-yet-creamy dream that comes in a large pump bottle. The incredibly high percentage of glycerin helps to naturally replenish moisture (glycerine draws water) while depositing Vitamin E and B2. The year round version of the original skin cream, this lightweight formula is a dream. I found my self constantly reapplying because it just felt so good, and still I never felt greasy. Camphor scent is more noticeable.
RESTORE: Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream
This is the original formula that started in 1957, and has since become the #1 selling in Japan. It’s thick enough to be in a tube or larger sized jar, but remains grease free. Great alternative to petroleum based products that don’t allow the skin to breathe.
PROTECT Yu-Be Lip Therapy (NEW)
This is the ultimate therapy balm. Instantly sinks in, doesn’t dry out and contains no artificial ingredients. My lips even enjoyed the camphor, which seemed soothing to their dry, cracked existence.
Thanks to Yu-Be for the sampling of this line. I consider the Lip Therapy and Body Lotion to be must haves. If you’ve got more severe dry skin issues, you’ll love the skin cream. Get the entire set and you’re golden.

Avril tires of messing around, accepts 14 carat ring from that Nickleback guy
Yeah, I had to google him too
Canada’s most hated performers joined forces when Avril Lavigne accepted a proposal from Chad Kroeger. Honestly, I don’t quite get why they are so reviled – most of their tunes have a good beat and you could probably dance to them. But that’s neither here nor there. This is Chad’s first marriage and he’s sealing the deal with a 14 carat wonder. Avril is coming down off a 3 year hiatus after a divorce from Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley and inspirational 2 year fling with hottie Brody Jenner. Those spiky blond Canadians hold something dear to Avril’s heart though. Kroeger and Lavigne met while working on tunes for her new project. It’s a whirlwind 6 months romance. Here’s wishing the best for them! | Check out the Abbey Dawn by Avril Lavigne album from Fashion Week
