Get Gossip-Worthy Lips!

Written on August 5, 2010 at 7:35 pm , by Fitness Magazine

SPOTTED: Gossip Girl filming in New York City! The glamorous cast is back for another drama-filled season. We caught them filming an upcoming scene at the Diane von Furstenberg store in the Meatpacking District. As eager fans crowded the sidewalk, we kept an eye out for our favorite cast member, Leighton Meester. She finally showed, wearing a gorgeous glittery frock and of course, her signature power pout.

This week, Leighton revealed the secret behind her luscious lips: Benefit’s Benetint ($28, benefitcosmetics.com). The original rose-tinted lip and cheek stain is perfect for adding a natural flush to the face. The long-lasting color won’t budge through workouts, office meetings, or in Leighton’s case, steamy makeout scenes with on-again-off-again bad boy, Ed Westwick. Now that’s something to gossip about!

You can’t bottle up those vocals, but now you can steal her scent! Wearing a purple wig and a musical mini, Katy Perry introduced her new fragrance, Purr, to beauty editors last week. The delicious scent includes notes of apple, green bamboo, peach nectar, freesia, Bulgarian rose and vanilla orchid. All wrapped up in an adorable cat-shaped bottle — hand sketched by Katy herself — it’s “purr-fect” for a holiday gift! We can’t wait to get our hands (er, paws?) on one!
