To promote its new Film Noir Fall Collection, Sephora just premiered a Hitchcock-style black-and-white short on YouTube. Cherchez La Femme (click above to watch) follows a detective on his quest to solve “a beauty crime of a particularly heinous nature,” i.e. the theft of Sephora’s entire fall makeup collection. Kitschy, yes but definitely enough to get you in the mood for ruby lipsticks, false lashes, and liquid liner. [Beauty And The Blog]
To celebrate Britney Spears’ return to North America, Elizabeth Arden will launch Circus this month, a sugarcoated raspberry and apricot scent named after, inspired by, and entirely aligned with her number-one selling album and blowout tour. With its cast of nearly 50 dancers, magicians, clowns, and acrobats and a traveling staff of over 200, the $50 million extravaganza certainly warrants its own fragrance, in our opinion. We can’t help but feel like Madonna missed the olfactory boat with her now-completed Sticky and Sweet tour. Next time, Madge, next time. [Cosmetic News]
Has the recession made you consider becoming your own stylist? You’re not alone. Apparently domestic sales of electric hair clippers are on the rise. Just remember to shave and trim carefully: Once you go with bangs, there’s no going back. [WSJ]
If you’ve been Botoxing your way to a migraine-free existence, you might be eligible for a headache cure by way of plastic surgery. Forehead lifts are emerging as a new way to rid yourself of the persistent temple pain and nausea that plagues nearly 30 million Americans. The perfectly smoothed-out brow ridge is just a happy aftereffect. [NYT]
