There’s the Urban Decay “Naked” palette.

There’s the Bliss “Naked” body butter.

Now, there’s “I Am Naked” perfume.

Courtesy of “emotionally resonant” fragrance company I Am Scents, the smell is a blend of violet, melon, and metal (yes, really) designed to smell-yep- like a body.

It’s an interesting idea, but it seems a little counter-intuitive.

After all, isn’t the point of perfume to smell like something different than how you normally smell?

Check it out at Urban Outfitters and let us know if you’d wear it.

Fact: We love Batiste’s Original Dry Shampoo (here’s proof!).

But the UK brand’s new  “Gold Shimmer” dry shampoo has us a bit perplexed.

According to DermStore,
the new spray adds “A hint of pearly shimmer to create a subtle glimmer and sparkle.”

What do you think? Worth a try?

There’s a fine line between perfectly mussed-up bedhead and just plain dirty hair.

And if you want to stay on the right side of the line (looking more like Proenza Schouler’s “she’s come undone” gorgeousness than awkwardly like you just don’t care), then you need to invest in the latest from evo ASAP.

The beauty brand’s new Haze Styling Powder is amazing because:

a.) the bottle is small enough to throw in your purse

b.) it gives you instant, easy, matte texture

c.) even though its $30 price tag isn’t exactly cheap, you only need a sprinkle for it to work

So if you want to look a little messy (in a good way, and without skipping showers), buy it here.

Our friend Michelle at Opening Ceremony got this manicure in the Lower East Side of New York City – including logos of Coca-Cola, Burger King, Mountain Dew, Taco Bell, and Dunkin’ Donuts hand painted on each nail.  You like?

Thanks YSL, for giving us a blush that we literally can’t mess up….no matter how hard we try or how lazy we become.

The French beauty house’s new Voile de Blush is a water-based gel that goes on sheer with just a hint of pretty pink.

In other words, the color is an exact replica of that healthy, “just did 5 jumping jacks” kind of glow.

But it’s still subtle enough to look natural even when you accidentally squeeze too much out.

Bottom line: if you find yourself falling in love with a blush, that’s okay…we don’t blame you.

Buy it at Sephora.

First came the mustache…

Next, the tuxedo….

We love Rachel Berry’s “librarian sexy school girl chic” style (we even did a Private Icon about it), but last night at the People’s Choice awards, Lea Michele shed any of her Glee character’s proclivities and embraced a modern Hollywood signature – the opaque pink lip.

Her makeup artist, Melanie Inglessis, gave a run-down of every product on Rachel’s face:

Armani Luminous Foundation #6

YSL Voile De Blush in Carmine Veil

Lancôme Color Design 5 Pan Palette in Chic By Chelle (part of the Glamour Eyes kit by Michelle Phan, sold exclusively at Sephora)

Lancôme Le Crayon Khôl in Black Coffee

Lancôme Hypnôse Drama Mascara

Lancôme Rouge In Love Lipstick in Roses In Love (available in February – which is rough, because it’s such a good color, but it’s really only three weeks away!).
