Blame it on Hollywood or on the fashion glossies, but there’s no denying that the concept of appearing beautiful is an inherent desire in both men and women. The idea of using cosmetics has had an enchanting appeal over centuries, so it makes perfect sense that beauty products are increasingly becoming a part of our daily life.
And the world’s leading cosmetic brands – made even popular by celebrity endorsements for top brands such as L’Oreal, Garnier and Cover Girl, to name a few – have added a touch of glamor and ‘thrill’ to the lives of many.
There’s a myth that cosmetics are just that – cosmetics. Nothing could be farther from the truth, in fact, they reach out to millions, adding spice to their otherwise mundane life.
The flip side? There’s yet another myth that the best cosmetic products and brands are beyond the budget of many. Again, this isn’t necessarily true – well, you may have to break the bank if you’re checking out Saks Fifth Avenue.
But not indeed so if you’re buying the genuine products from an outlet which is getting its supplies from an authorized dealer dealing in wholesale cosmetics.
Now, you may not be buying directly from a wholesale dealer, but the idea is that they get the world renowned cosmetics in bulk and offer them at extremely competitive prices, perhaps through an intermediary to reach you. And this is the best of both worlds… !

We can finally get it… a whiff of Natalie Portman, one of the brainiest and most beautiful celebrities, thanks to Parfums Christian Dior, with whom the star has signed up to endorse one of its fragrance and cosmetic brands.
And I’m not the only one who’s excited about this:
“We are extremely excited to have Miss Portman embody our house,” said Claude Martinez, president and chief executive officer of the French fashion house. “She will symbolise with grace the values of luxury and the glamour of Dior.”
Portman will be joining an elite roster of celebrities who have endorsed Dior — Charlize Theron, Sharon Stone, Jude Law and Monica Bellucci, being some among them in the recent past.
Watch CelebrityBrands to get you the first of the campaigns where Natalie will be posing!
Trivia: Did you know that the 28-year-old star graduated in psychology while she was working on Star wars (1999)? Did I say 28-year-old? Well, by the time you read this, she could be 29… June 9 is her birthday.

If there’s one thing that can be said about the gorgeous German-born Diane Kruger, it’s her chiseled looks. Clean and petite, perhaps that was one among many votes in her favor to become fashion and luxury brand Calvin Klein’s face for their new women’s fragrance, Beauty.
The 33-year-old stunner is a typical fashion goddess (who lent her face to L’Oreal Paris recently), and wearing Calvin Klein should come naturally to her.
Kruger will endorse the new scent in print ads as well as TV commercials… however, those will debut only this Fall, I hear.
“I admire the brand, not only for the quality and innovation of its products, but also because it represents diversity and excellence across the world, values which are very close to my heart,” Kruger said.
“I am, of course, also delighted to be joining the other L’Oreal Paris Spokespeople, an extremely talented, widely-admired group of people,” she added.
Look forward to seeing Kruger in Mr. Nobody, Inhale, Fringe this year and Unknown White Male and National Treasure 3 alongside Nicolas Cage and Helen Mirren in 2011.

Fast-rising contemporary R&B and hip hop celebrity Keri Hilson has been tapped by Avon to present the beauty house’s new ’seduction fragrance’ brand, Imari Seduction.
Hilson, 27, is set to appear on an Avon brochure dedicated to the new fragrance brand around Fall, in which she’ll also endorse Avon’s flagship Color brand. But before that she will grace an Avon sales conference in her role as the spokesperson for the brand.
Though she’s associated with music, she’s appeared in a number of TV shows since 2009, and I’d definitely like to see her in full-length movie, if she’s inclined to change tracks (no pun intended). Wouldn’t you?
Talking about associating her brand name with other brands — even with one so big as Avon — Keri says she’s ‘careful’.
“I’m really careful,” the “In A Perfect World” singer said.
“I don’t want to be affiliated with too many brands. It’s got to make sense, and it makes sense [with Avon.] I love fragrance. I love beauty. I love to teach women that they should feel confident and feel good about themselves for themselves.”
Good for you, Keri. ‘Kerri’ on!

Celebrity Brands fans will recall the post about the confusion around a name for a perfume brand that Jennifer Aniston was launching. Well, it appears like the search is over (no, it isn’t “The Butler Did It”)… Aniston’s new perfume is named Lola Vie.
I haven’t smelled the fragrance, but I like the name… though not very hip, I’d say. Heard it means something like “laugh at life” in French.
Yeah, “The Bounty Hunter” star was kinda picky in the beginning, insisting ‘Aniston’ should be included in the name of the perfume, but obviously she changed her mind.
“When they asked, I don’t think they really expected me to be [so] picky. But you’ve got to have it smell right,” she said.
Expect the Jennifer Aniston scent to hit retailers this summer. Hope it smells just as lovely as you look, Jennifer.
