Kate Winslet and Jessica Alba Both Score Major Campaigns

A day without news of a celebrity fragrance, clothing line, or ambassador-dom is rare indeed, and today is no exception.

Do Celebrity Beauty Endorsements Work?

On Friday, WWD reported that Salma Hayek is currently working on an undisclosed beauty project.
