Words of Beauty Wisdom from Jacqueline Bisset, the Face of Upcoming Avon Platinum Anew {Beauty Quote of the Day - New Product - Skin}

Avon is preparing to launch a new skincare line targeting women 60 and over called Anew Platinum with the tag line "If you think your youth is gone, think again!". If you are like me, you have had a tendency to always check out creams destined to more advanced age groups, just to see if you could keep your collagen supply optimally boosted.

Makeup artist Scott Barnes presents his book "About Face" at the launch party at Provocateur at The Hotel Gansevoort on January 20, 2010 in New York City.

Makeup artist Scott Barnes explained why he decided to write a book on makeup (not just one actually, but two.) About Face: Amazing Transformations Using the Secrets of The Top Celebrity Makeup Artist (no need to name names obviously) was introduced on January 1, 2010 and the second installment also entitled About Face but sub-titled differently "Celebrity Makeup Techniques" will be issued on March 1, 2010.

Actually, it's not just a makeup book. As it turns out it's a wellness book...

Beauty Quote of the Day, from Paul Newman:

"To work hard, as I've worked to accomplish anything, and then have some yo-yo come up and say, "Take off those dark glasses and let's have a look at those blue eyes" is really discouraging."
