Buffy gets naked, what a tease

Filed under: Skin Care, Celebrities with Style

After years of waiting, Buffy the Vampire Slayer finally decided to do some nude photography -- sort of. This is as close as it gets with Sarah Michelle Gellar, who has maintained that she will never take it all off for the camera. The ads feature a series of images, each displays an indistinguishable part of the star's body. One features her hand and forearm, another her face resting on her knees, shrouded in her hair. The tagline reads: keep skin amazing.

The beauty of it is, that the sexy ads are for everybody's favorite hand lotion: Vaseline. This is the kind of ad concept that's just made for one-liners. I had the urge to crank one out about how the ads were jerking us all off -- but that's just what the ad firm wants, so I'll stop there.

Initially, the skin care giant challenged customers to guess which celebrity was featured in the ads. Now the photos are being auctioned off to benefit the Coalition of Skin Diseases. So it's all for a good cause.

Early in her career, Gellar promised never to do nudity, and it's rumored that she requires no-nudity clauses in her film contracts. According to Female First, she didn't actually pose naked for the ads, but wore a black dress that was digitally removed. Doh!

Hilary Duff is the new face of... Vaseline?

Filed under: Cosmetics, Celebrities with Style

Hilary DuffWhen you think of high-profile brands that might use celebrities to pose with their products, you probably either think of fashion labels or huge multi-national conglomerates like Nike or Coca-Cola, which can afford to do whatever they want.

But the latest company to do a shoot with a sexy celeb is none other than Vaseline -- who've recently made Hilary Duff the face of their new ad campaign.

Explaining why she opted for a gig posing with petroleum jelly, the star told Just Jared: "Skin is a part of you, and you have to be proud of what you have. I feel comfortable in my own skin. Sometimes showing a little is fun. It makes me feel sexy and girly."

The next model I'd like to see make the leap to products from your medicine cabinet is Kate Moss. Especially in light of her nagging cocaine addiction, I think she'd be great in a campaign for Breathe Right Nasal Strips, or maybe Neti Pots.

Drugstore Beauty Queen: Vaseline

Filed under: Steals and Deals

If you're interested in getting more bang for your buck from your next trip to the drugstore, you might consider picking up a tub of Vaseline. By far, Vaseline is the cheapest cosmetic item in the world, but many people do not realize that petroleum jelly has a slew of beauty uses. Trust me on this one, it's not just for your lips! Here are a few of the ways that I use the old blue topped stand-by:

Eye makeup remover: As someone who only occasionally wears eye makeup, it really doesn't make sense for me to have a separate eye makeup remover on hand for the off chance that I might need it. Instead, I smear a generous goop of Vaseline on my eyelids and wipe it off with a cotton makeup pad. Voila! no more makeup.

Eyebrow tamer: Beauty editors want you to think that you need to purchase a separate brow gel to keep your arches in place during the day. But what I've found is that applying a little bit of Vaseline to a clean mascara brush is a great way to instantly tame your brows.

Mascara: As I've already mentioned, mascara is not my favorite thing to put on everyday. But since my eyelashes are blond, I do find that coating my top lashes gives them a little bit more definition than they would have on their own.

Lip gloss base: Do you have a lipstick that you love but which it was in a lighter formulation? Well, one easy way to double your color options is to take a slice of lipstick and mix it in a pill tin to make your own custom lip gloss.
