Cargo has released a line of environmentally-friendly lipsticks, just in time for Earth Day. Many of the line's lipstick shades are celebrity-designed by the likes of Kim Raver, Sarah Chalke, Angie Harmon, Evangeline Lily, Maria Menounos, Mariska Hargitay, Denise Richards and Lindsay Lohan.

So how exactly is it eco-friendly? Well, the lipstick itself is made entirely from corn and the box it's packaged in is made of flower paper, which contains actual flower seeds. So if you wet the box and plant it....flowers will grow! And to top it all off, $2 from every purchase will benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Cargo PlantLove lipsticks, $20 at sephora.com.


Happy Earth Day!

The Hills starlet, Whitney Port recently hosted the "Clinique National Happy Day" at Bloomingdale's in New York City. Could they not get Lauren Conrad? Just kidding. We love Whitney actually. And she looks great in this Clinique-Happy-Orange dress. Whitney's so tall and slender, she can pull of a lot of the runway trends - like mid-calf boots with a dolman-sleeve dress and chunky bangle.

The Clinique Absolutely Happy gift set includes a perfume spray, body wash, body butter and a travel size perfume spray and is available at bloomingdales.com for $70.

Mac spokespeople, Dita Von Teese and Eve were on hand in New York City to help celebrate $100,000,000 Raised for the Mac AIDS Fund. So that's where Dita gets her signature red lipstick...

Wow, that is a lot of money for a good cause. Congrats Mac! Check out MacCosmetics.com to shop and MacAIDSfund.org for more information on Mac's charity.

While she's not wearing much in the advertisement...Hilary Swank looks impeccable In London, England as the face of the new fragrance, Insolence by Guerlain. Hilary perfectly mixes a vintage hourglass silhouette with modern glamour and we love it! The length of her skirt balances the asymmetrical neckline and her crocodile handbag is definitely in line with fall's bag trends: large, but structured.

Insolence is a floral/fruity scent features top notes of raspberries, orange blossom, violets, iris and roses. And it's described as irreverent and defiant....bold words for a perfume. We'd definitely be interested in trying it.

Insolence by Guerlain, $45 for a 1 oz Eau de Toilette Spray at sephora.com

Swank is just one of many actresses to promote designer fragrances lately (Keira Knightley for Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel and Beyonce for Diamonds by Armani), while songstresses seem to create their own scents (Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey). The only actress/perfumer we can think of is Sarah Jessica Parker. Can you come up with any others?

We are absolutely loving Katie Holmes' fresh new 'do. Long layers cut into a modern bob with a flattering side part give her a sexy, young look. We're guessing women everywhere will be rushing to their stylists with photos of this cut. What do you think of Katie's new look?

With shades designed by Lindsay Lohan, Mariska Hargitay, Courtney Cox, Maria Menounos, Sarah Chalke and Evangeline Lily, CARGO PlantLove lipstick is the first lipstick that actually helps fight global warming.  The tube is made entirely out of corn - a renewable and abundant resource. This environmentally-friendly innovation also emits less greenhouse gases, which many scientists believe to be the major cause of global warming. The outer carton is made of flower paper embedded with real flower seeds. Simply moisten, plant, and wait for a bouquet of wild flowers to grow!

Smooth and silky, the innovative botanical formula is infused with Orchid Complex™ and meadowfoam seed oil as well as jojoba and shea butter. Not only that, but it's environmentally friendly, containing no mineral oils or petroleums.

Even better, CARGO is donating two dollars from the sale of every shade to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

What do Reese Witherspoon, Charlize Theron, Kate Bosworth and Jennifer Garner have in common? They are addicted to kai, an irresistible tropical fragrance that will remind you of Hawaii, even if you’ve never been there.

kai’s light, intoxicating gardenia scent uses natural fragrances and ingredients to capture their one-of-a-kind island-fresh scent. Traditionally sold as perfume oil, now kai’s signature scent is available in a 1.7 oz. eau de perfume.

Purchase a bottle of the new kai eau de perfume and receive a complimentary bottle of kai body lotion through 9/30 at de-frazzle.com.

Cameron's hoping brunettes have more fun with her newly-dyed 'do. A radical departure from her usual sunny locks, perhaps she's going for the serious actress look? We think she looks gorgeous either way, even in something as simple as a camo tee and jeans.

What do you think of Cameron's new look?

Naomi Watts and Rihanna are fans of Cake Beauty's good-enough-to-eat beauty indulgences. For stars who travel often, the new 'Take the Cake’ Travel Set is a first class companion: a chic travel bag big enough to fit your “can’t live without” essentials comes packed with three orange-creamsicle scented bath and body products.

Nicolette Sheridan, Jamie Lynn Siegler and Drew Barrymore stay golden with this new sunless tanning line. Xen-Tan promises to deliver unparalleled effectiveness and usability (even for a beginner) with natural streak-free color that can last up to 7 days. Your self-tan develops in just 3 hours, unlike other self-tanners that can take up to 8 hours to see final results. And with a more olive undertone, you won't get that tell-tale tangerine glow even on the fairest skins.

The instant color and active tanning ingredients are cautiously-crafted to yield a rich natural color, along with a deliciously sweet cherry-almond scent. Check out their three options for tanning (mist, lotion and mousse), a body scrub and an extender lotion at xen-tan.com or nordstrom.com.
