MAKEUP
• Fragrances and body sprays are the most popular beauty product among 8- to 12-year-old girls. That might sound a little young for beauty shopping, but this age group spends $500 million on beauty products each year. Thanks, Miley Cyrus! [WWD]

• Vincent Longo's summer collection is called Shimmer, Glimmer, and Shine and, like every other new makeup collection this season, it's all about bronze. This line includes a hydro stick, gloss, and liquid shadow and looks wearable. [Face Candy]

• If you curl your lashes with an eyelash curler before and after applying mascara, your eyelashes will fall out. So don’t do that. [BellaSugar]

FRAGRANCE
• Artists Yoon Lee created a limited-edition bottle for the DKNY Be Delicious scent. It’s $68 at Macy’s. [Teen Vogue]

• The signature fragrance from Agent Provocateur was so successful, the company is launching two follow-up body products with the same scent. These will also include Damiana, a natural aphrodisiac. No word on if they'll put out any new Internet movies featuring Kate Moss in her panties to promote them. [British Vogue]
