SKIN
• Gossip Girl star Penn Badgley reportedly likes Pevonia Botanica's Ligne Homme line, especially the Age-Defying Caviar Balm. He is maintaining that high-school look rather well. [ElleGirl via Teenage.Me]

• Skin-care brand L’Occitane en Provence was honored by the American Foundation for the Blind because they've been imprinting their packaging with Braille since 1997. Now you know. [WWD]

HAIR
• Vitamin Shampoo came out with posters knocking off VitaminWater. And now there's a vitamin showdown in the works! Rest easy: Lawyers are on the case. [Fashionista]

MAKEUP
• Leslie Blodgett, founder of Bare Escentuals, suggests you only wear waterproof mascara if you're "extremely greasy." And you should always take off your mascara; otherwise your eyelashes might crunch up and fall out while you sleep. [BellaSugar]

FRAGRANCE
• Takashimaya has its own fragrance now, as perfumer Neil Morris developed a custom scent that combines "the serenity of Japanese culture … with the stylish sophistication of Fifth Avenue." A two-ounce bottle is $125. Yes, very Fifth Avenue. [WWD]
