Two lucky members of the human race are pulling out this blinged out L’Oréal Paris 2008 Red Carpet Compact to primp. I almost forgot to mention - it’s worth $4,900!

As L’Oréal Paris’ gift to Hollywood’s leading ladies at the Oscars, this version of the stunning glittering compact features 3 carats of diamonds, set in platinum on yellow gold, with a ruby clasp.  Not available to the general public, luckily these gold-and-diamond compacts were auctioned off on eBay to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF). They both sold for just over $1,500 each.

Beyoncé works fast - that was so quick!

Just a month ago she was flirting with life as a brunette - maybe it wasn’t the right color for her? Last night in NYC, Beyoncé was seen entering a restaurant debuting a completely new look: honey blonde extensions paired with choppy, blunt bangs.

Thoughts?

…that Gisele Bundchen may be jumping the Victoria’s Secret ship for Max Factor. Move over Carmen Electra…

…that the Spice Girls are slated to shell for L’Oreal? I always thought Victoria Beckham and Co. would be fierce ‘n fabulous in a hair campaign.

The Oscars…Tinseltown’s biggest night is finally upon us - thank goodness the writer’s strike ended! Sadly I couldn’t attend, but luckily I was able to spot three key trends from my very own couch!

~ LIPS: Retro is out (finally!), and modern is in. With the exception of Katharine Heigl (who went for full-on red lipstick), the lip color of choice was glossy nude. Cate Blanchett, Jessica Alba, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Renee Zellweger, Hilary Swank, Keri Russell… The list goes on and on. A few gals went for a flesh pink look: Helen Mirren, Nicole Kidman, Ellen Page, Anne Hathaway, Miley Cyrus… The point is, hopefully the ‘Old Hollywood Glamour’ phenomenon will be given a rest for a few more seasons…

~ HAIR: Pulled straight back is oh-so-boring! These ladies LOVE wearing their locks off-to-the-side: Jennifer Hudson, Jennifer Garner, Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, and Kristin Chenoweth, just to name a few.

~ EYES: Hilary Swank, Jennifer Hudson, Penelope Cruz; Oh, the drama, drama, drama! Between out-to-there lashes and sparkly silver eyeshadow, on tonight’s red carpet, the eyes have it.

Now that he’s dominated the world through music, acting, fashion, and the restaurant business, now Justin Timberlake is adding beauty to his never-ending ‘Things-I-Must-Conquer‘ list. Maybe we have another Diddy on our hands?

According to WWD, Timberlake is set to join Liv Tyler and be the gorgeous face of a Givenchy Parfums fragrance.

“He’s multitalented, he’s been voted one of the sexiest men in the world and he’s a trendsetter, not just in musical terms but in the way he lives and dresses,” Alain Lorenzo, Parfums Givenchy’s president, told WWD Thursday. “He’s very popular everywhere. He’s not just the idol of the Americans or of the Brits, he’s truly a world-recognized artist in his field.”

The scent is slated to be released in early 2009.
