"It" Girl

Mandy Moore
Maybe she never achieved the kind of wild success that Britney and Christina did, but Mandy’s also baby-free, has a full head of hair and is far from dirrty. Plus, don’t you kind of wish you were friends with her?
The new issue of Flare Magazine totally highlights how down to earth she is – and not in a sickly sweet Walk to Remember way. “I wear a size 6 to an 8, and I’d rather represent for that. It may not look like [today’s] ideal woman, but it’s a normal size,” she says in the story.
Her new album, Wild Hope, is nothing like the bubblegum pop she used to churn out, she has three cool-sounding movies coming out in 2007 and she got to play Adam Grenier’s love interest on the “It” show Entourage. The best part is that she's probably not wildly hoping to ever be wildly successful.

"It" Gloss

Rimmel Underground
Light Beam Lip Gloss
Rimmel’s new lip gloss will light up your life, literally. Okay, it will at least light up your lips when you’re trying to apply it in some dark nightclub – or will illuminate the potentially cute guy dancing next to you, or the inside of your purse when you can’t find your keys. The brilliant design not only features an LED light on the inside of the cap, there’s also a mirror on the side of the tube so you can check your makeup, your teeth after dinner and spy on the action over your shoulder.
The actual lip gloss, of course, is pretty cool too. The non-sticky formula comes in six wet-shine shades like “After Hours,” a cherry hue and “Strobe Light,” a glittery silver.

"It" Cover

Cover girls Paris and Nicole, partners in crime
Yes, yes, we all know that Paris Hilton is virtually a jailbird – but when Harper’s Bazaar cast Miss Hilton and her sassy socialite best-friend -turned-nemesis-turned-best-friend again, Nicole Richie, as cover girls for their June issue, Paris was still a free woman. According to WWD.com, the pair will appear in a photo shoot as jewellery thieves who have a run-in with the law. The June issue of Harper’s Bazaar hits stands May 22.

"It" Spot

New Erogenous Zone:
The Collar Bone
The New York Times has declared the clavicle the new hot spot to expose. Like the pop star herself, Britney’s bare belly fell out of fashion ages ago (and no one’s buying into the bare scalp look). Boobs are always in, as are legs, but no new parts stepped into the sexy spotlight. Until now. The Times reports that revealing your collar bone lets you show off that you’re in shape without showing it all off, especially since this summer’s staple – the dress – tends to be on the voluminous side. If you can’t show off your tight tummy or toned abs, what can you display?
Look for generous x-shaped halter-necks that frame your clavicles, or opt for generous square- or round-necks that highlight your lovely décolleté without too much cleavage.

"It" Boy

Will Chalker
Unfortunately, I had never heard of Will Chalker until a Paco Rabanne press kit landed on my desk. I am now thankful to Mr. Rabanne for introducing me to my future hubby. The new face of Blackxs, a rock ‘n’ roll-inspired scent for “tough guys with a tender heart,” was a construction worker in East Sussex, England before being discovered. He’s 27, 6’1” and an amateur boxer. Will has walked the runways of Gucci, Paul Smith and Valentino and appeared in ads for D&G and YSL.

"It" Product

It does everything
Today’s multi-purpose products are not like the 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner combos that did nothing for your usually lively locks. Versatile creams, balms and oils from better beauty brands actually soften, soothe and treat all the stuff they’re supposed to. Elizabeth Arden’s 8-hour Cream, created in 1930, was one of the first of these “it” miracles. Use it on chapped lips, skinned knees, paper cuts – I’ve even heard claims that it cures eczema. Nuxe’s Huile Prodigeuse is a dry oil for face, body and hair. Yes, oil for your face. It softens skin, strengthens hair and it works wonders while shaving your legs.


















The newest “it does everything” product is from Cake. Satin Sugar All-Purpose Treatment Balm smoothes frizzy hair and flyaways, is a yummy-smelling lip balm and softens dry skin. Infused with Shea Butter and Beeswax, it treats chapped skin and has a super satiny texture.
It’s also worth checking out Cake’s Satin Sugar Refreshing Hair and Body Powder. The perfect product for hair-washing procrastinators! It totally soaks up any extra oil and lets your blow-out last a few more days. Plus you can fluff the lemon-vanilla-scented powder all over your body post-bath…or workout and not worry about B.O.
