Gossip Teen

High end beauty is Blair Waldorf’s signature, but for the actress who plays the Gossip Girl Queen Bee, the drugstore is the way to go.

Leighton Meester shared with Stylelist how where she grew up helped shape how she buys her beauty must haves:

“Look, I’m a South Florida girl — if you need mascara, you go to Walgreens,” she said.

The 24 year-old Herbal Essences Brand Ambassador continued:

“One of the joys of my job is being able to try all different products, but if I can spend a lot less on something, I’d rather do that.”

She fessed up to her current beauty craves.

“I’m currently loving those CoverGirl lip stains. The L’Oréal Naturale Mascara is great. And I always pick up cocoa butter. It’s 99 cents! I love it!” said Meester.

Love it!

Glee is getting into the Halloween spirit for the October 26th episode. A tribute to the cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show is the theme of the evening. Fox has released the first photos of the stars in costume and which Rocky original role they are reprising.

• Kurt (Chris Colfer) will be Riff Raff
• Finn (Cory Monteith) as Brad
• Sam (Chord Overstreet) as Rocky
• Quinn and Santana (Dianna Agron and Naya Rivera) will both be Magenta
• Dr. Carl (John Stamos) will play Eddie
• Rachel (Lea Michele) as Janet
• Mercedes (Amber Riley) will be Frank-N-Furter

This looks like it could be such a fun episode but I hope the theme shows are over after this one. It is such a better dynamic when the songs truly fit the character arc happening, instead of the writers attempting to shoehorn a story around an artist (the Britney Spears full length video episode for example.)

Check out the early peek at some of those characters in make-up below.

Dianna Agron is absolutely gorgeous in the October issue of InStyle magazine. The Glee actress is featured in a fall make-up/beauty spread and she looks lovely. Agron tells InStyle that she is into reincarnation and thinks she was a pirate:

“I’m really into the whole idea of past lives and stuff like that. Maybe I was a pirate in my past life. I didn’t kill people, though. I was just a badass.”

Currently starring in the second season of Glee as cheerleader Quinn, Dianna is headed to the big screen in the movie I Am Number Four with Alex Pettyfer.

Ashley Greene is taking over promotional duties from Lauren Conrad for Avon’s Mark line of cosmetics. The Twilight beauty is perfect for this advertising campaign:

“Ashley has a natural beauty, but I love that she experiments with fashion,” said Claudia Poccia, global president, Mark. “She mixes it up and makes it her own.”

“We have this mission of celebrating young women making their mark on the world,” Poccia said. “Ashley has set goals for herself and is achieving those goals.”

Greene’s first ad is now pulled from youtube – which is ridiculous. I understand a company that wants to protect it’s image or is concerned with people altering the ad, but these websites (including us) are actually helping to PROMOTE the product – FOR FREE. Why take it down?  It’s Avon for heaven’s sake. They can use all the free promotion to teens they can get.

So let me ask you – does this make a difference to you? Would you buy the product just because of Ashley? Does the fact that the company won’t let you view the ad bug you or do you not care at all?

Sound off below!

It isn’t often that you find a fifteen year-old as CEO of their own company but Ava Anderson is the exception. The high school-er has launched her own skincare line after finding out that many brands labelled as ‘natural’ were anything but.

After becoming a toxic ingredient junkie and sweeping the cosmetic aisles for pure choices – not to mention Mom and Grandma’s makeup bags – frustration led the precocious blonde to invent her own products that passed all non-toxic standards.

“Through a family friend, we found a manufacturer with research facilities that could develop and produce products to my standards. It was a great challenge to develop these revolutionary formulas and I had to reject many proposed formulations,” says Anderson.

The non-toxic beauty line, called simply Ava Anderson, is available online at her website or you can start your own Ava business, selling her line and making some cash for yourself. Check out this if you are interested in sharing the non-toxic message.
