The Belle Deluxe Adult Costume from Halloween Express is one of the top women's Halloween costumes for 2009.  If you want to show off your sassy side, consider the sassy Snow White costume instead.

A Pea in the Pod also offers a little shine for the New Year's with their ultra-luxury line. The collection offers a glamorous sequin mini-skirt, complete with Secret Fit Belly(TM). As her belly grows, the revolutionary patent-pending technology provides superior comfort and smooth lines underneath the complementing sapphire cowl neck modal jersey top, a dramatic pop of color.

Christinia Applegate Foundation -- Alex Woo Creates Pendant for Right Action for Women

Alex Woo Creates Pendant to Raise Funds for

Christina Applegate's Foundation,

Right Action for Women

The Right Action for Women was a foundation established by award-winning actress Christina Applegate that educates women about what it means to be at "high risk" for breast cancer and encourage them to talk to their doctors about appropriate screening. The foundation was created in partnership with the Entertainment Industry Foundation, a 501(c)(3), after Christina Applegate received her breast cancer diagnosis. The Right Action for Women provides aid to individuals who are at increased risk for breast cancer and do not have insurance or the financial flexibility to cover the high costs associated with breast screenings.

Alex Woo, New York jeweler, has designed a delicately branched "tree of life" pendant, in gold or silver, that will benefit the Right Action for Women.

"Since losing my mother to breast cancer when she was much too young, I have always been active in the fight against it," Woo said. "The opportunity to work with Christina to design a piece to benefit Right Action for Women was tremendous given the inspiration she has provided to millions of young women."

The design has a unique balance of peace and harmony in the shape of a tree but also incorporates the feminine curves of a women. The 7 leaves represent each day of the week, as a reminder to live each day to it's very fullest.

"This piece reminds me so much of the roses I made out of ribbons for my friends and family while in the hospital," said Applegate. "I am so grateful to Alex for creating such a beautiful piece to benefit Right Action for Women. Proceeds from the necklace will help women at high risk for breast cancer get the screenings and testing they need to beat this disease."

The pendant retails at $198 in silver and $998 in 12-karat yellow gold. You can view and purchase the pendant at www.alexwoo.com, select Bloomingdales locations, and select stores nationwide.

In addition, please view the video below with Christina Applegate on the Ellen Show, as she discusses Lee National Denim Day, October 2nd.  This will also benefit breast cancer -- spread the word.

FDA Reports Lead Levels in Lipstick

FDA Study finds Lead Levels in Lipstick -- No Standard for Lead in Lipstick

The Food and Drug Administration completed a study finding lead in lipsticks at higher levels than those detected by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics in a 2007 study.

There were 20 lipsticks tested by the FDA (brands have not been disclosed) and lead was found in all 20. The levels were 0.09 to 3.06 parts per million - four times higher than the highest level reported in by CSC. In testing these lipsticks, a new method was used that concluded that earlier methods likely underestimated lead levels.

The FDA did not release the names of the brands with the highest levels; however, the CSC report found that L'Oreal, Maybelline and Cover Girl had consistently tested with higher lead levels.

"Since recent science suggest that there is truly no safe lead exposure for pregnant women, it is disturbing that manufacturers are allowed to continue to sell lead-containing lipstick," said Sean Palfrey, M.D., medical director of Boston's Lead Poisoning Prevention Program.

FDA found an average lead level in lipstick more than 10 times higher than its own standard for lead in candy. Yet FDA has no standard for lead in lipstick.

If you are interested in obtaining additional information on the lead levels in lipsticks or the toxins in any beauty products go to Campaign for Safe Cosmetics.

Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier -- Launches OmniPeace Collection

New OmniPeace Collection launched with

Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier

OmniPeace, founded by Mary Fanaro, a charitable organization that donates 25% of its profits to charities supporting peace, education, human rights, and the end of extreme poverty in Africa by 2025.

You have seen the fashion icon t-shirts sported by many celebrities who are supporting a worthy cause by wearing these shirts. The shirts have a logo printed on the front that displays the peace sign with the shape of the continent of Africa.

Now, from the original tattoo artwork of Don Ed Hardy, Christian Audigier strategically integrates iconic graphics within the OminiPeace African continent logo, and the symbol of peace displays vibrant floral imagery. This high-end humanitarian collection offers three distinct styles for women, and one for men.

By purchasing an Ed Hardy/OmniPeace product, 25% of the profits will be donated to build schools in Africa with buildOn and Millennium Promise.

"In these times it is important to stand for something more than fashion itself," Christian Audigier said. "Mary Fanaro, the OmniPeace CEO poses a poignant question, Can you think of a better return in life than saving one?"

This new OmniPeace Collection will debut at the Las Vegas Convention Center, September 1st - 3rd Booth #23417.

The video below is an interview with Casey Affleck who proudly displays the OmniPeace Logo t-shirt. He also explains a little about the worthy cause.
