HAIR • Proctor & Gamble will buy out Frédéric Fekkai & Co., the luxury hair-care product line, in an effort to boost luxury in their products repertoire. [WWD]

MAKEUP
• Fergie remixed her song “Glamourous” for M.A.C. It's called “Viva Glamourous” and available for legal download starting today. One hundred percent of the proceeds go to the fight against AIDS. [Cosmetic News]

• Crazy Rumors released twelve new beverage-inspired lip balms for soothing chapped lips. The Coffee Lover’s Collection includes amaretto and Irish cream, while the Brew Tea Balms include spiced chai and plum apricot. Sounds delicious. [Spoiled Pretty]

SKIN
• Hey breast-feeders, did you know you can make soap out of that breast milk? Start by freezing at least six cups. Oh, and "be aware of biohazards." [Beauty Brains]

• Leighton Meester of Gossip Girl uses Freeze 24/7, which looks like a portable USB port but actually zaps away lines for glowing skin. [Daily Obsession]

NAILS
• FYI: Formaldehyde is a colorless gas with a bad odor that's also an embalming fluid. It's found in most nail polishes that help prevent chipping and harden nails. So don’t take a huge whiff when you polish, because that’s really bad for you. [BellaSugar]
