Beauty News: Courtney Cox Signs With Avon

The natural, unblemished youthfulness of Courtney Cox is questionable at best, at least to me anyway.

Cox, who is surprisingly unlined despite her age creeping up there, has been the face of skin care brand Kinerase for the past few years and just signed up with Avon to hawk their new scent, Spotlight. This olfactory blend is a fresh oriental, meaning mandarin, sandalwood, vanilla and Italian bergamot, confected by IFF perfumer Monique Remy.

Her reason for joining Avon?

“(Avon) truly celebrates and empowers women and this fragrance captures that essence – that all women are in the spotlight in their own unique ways and this fragrance highlights the excitement and the exhilaration of that feeling,” says the former “Friends” star.

Beauty Products: Eyelash Enhancers

best eyelash enhancers Today, a very interesting news item came out about the FDA reporting that glaucoma drugs appear to make eyelashes look longer and fuller when applied to the lash base.

This brings up the question, should drugs used to treat health conditions be used for cosmetic purposes?

Though some patients reported at least “minimal” growth with Lumigan (the current market name), a few dropped out of the study because of irritation and redness of the eye.

That’s enough to make me pass.

Beauty News: Pantone Names Mimosa Color of the Year

Pantone color of the year When it comes to color, Pantone usually has the final say.

It appears the color of the year for 2009 is mimosa, as in not the alcoholic beverage preferred by ladies that brunch, but an orange-hued yellow bright enough to sear a cornea.

Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, says, “The colour yellow exemplifies the warmth and nurturing quality of the sun, properties we as humans are naturally drawn to for reassurance. Mimosa also speaks to enlightenment, as it is a hue that sparks imagination and innovation.”
