Yes to Carrots new product!

Lip Butters! (Why am I thinking of Butters from Southpark?)

What we love about Lip Butters: They are stamped with the USDA Organic seal (tre official.) AKA: Au natural, no baa/moo/woof testing, free of parabens, petroleums & phthalates.

Delicious little flavors as well:

Berry, Carrot, Melon, Mint & Citrus

Did we mention they are super affordable...

Yes to Carrots Lip Butters: $3.49

VS launches another (!) new line of beauty yummies for us.

Naturally, the mature line that has natural ingredients; filled with vitamins & minerals to leave skin nourished and protected.

Naturally's 5 Scents:

*Acai Berry & Magnolia, protects and brightens (our fave)
*Grapefruit Lime & Mint, purifies and invigorates
*Blackberry & Tonka Bean, revitalizes and renews
*Vanilla & Sandlewood, nourishes and comforts
*Honeysuckle & White Patchouli, relaxes and soothes

PS: Seems like the lingerie giant is trying to take over the beauty world too, no?

PPS: 'Naturally, the mature line'. Read: No kitten fur & leopard spots.

What does lip-gloss, vibrators, pheromones & men in their man-panties all have in common? (No, not that crazy night 5 years ago. Harumph.)

I'm talking about Urban Decay's Pocket Rocket Lip Gloss.

Pocket Rocket is Urban's new pocket-sized lip-gloss that gives you all the tingles.

Outside: The double-side cap has a picture of a strapping young lad & when you twist it, he strips down to his man-panties!

Inside: Each shade is semi-sheer & includes plumping action in it to improve cellular function, prevent dehydration & fill in lines & wrinkles.

PS: The gloss is laced with pheromone ink - which releases a dibble of pheromones to get you & your lover hot & horny.

Comes in eight men & eight shades.

We f***ing love this.

(PPs: How cute for a Bachelorette Party favor!)

Price: $18

ZOMG. First SamRon? Then Leggings? Now this!?

Long Island's smutty princess is launching a self-tanning spray called, Sevin Nyne.

Lohan had partnered up with tanning guru Lorit Simon, & is unveiling this bottle of fabulousity on April 15 @ Sephora.com (In stores start of May).

The difference between Sevin Nyne & other self-tanning products? This one nixes artificial ingridients & uses caramel for a darker, natural hue.

LaHoeHan says she hasn't found the perfect tan until she came across Lorit. (HELLO: What about Model Co's Tan in a Can!?)

PS: Apparently 7/9 are Lohan's favorite numbers... We kinda think it'd be funnier if it was called Syx Nyne. Tehee, Hiss Purr.

New York's favorite tranny makes a splash in the cosmetic industry.

Ms. Lepore is launching "Amanda" - a fermented perfume that comes in a round, Swarovski ball.

So what's does a tranny smell like? Why orange flowers, steamed rice, strawberries, Bergamot & a splash of Cristal of course! (Yes, there's a dibble of Cristal in the fragrance.)

So, while we *lurve* Lepore, (and Jonte, HAI BOO.) - for $950 bucks, we doubt we'll be spritzing ourselves with this.

(Work it boo.)
