HAIR
• Paris Hilton just launched the Website for the $70-a-box hair-extensions line she’s doing with Sally Beauty. The tagline: “Everyone should get the chance to be me.” Aren’t you just sold? [BellaSugar]

• Matrix’s Biolage Oil Control Treatment sprays on to degrease flat, oily locks. [Beauty Snob]

MAKEUP
• Ecofriendly brand Korres reformatted all their labels so the ingredients list no longer looks like a bunch of mumbo jumbo. It’s easier to read and useful since it’s good to know what you’re slathering all over your face. [Beauty and the Blog/Sephora]

• “Daring” is the title of Prescriptives’ fall line of makeup. It features thirteen products from eye shadow to blush to mascara, and the shades look perfect for hazel eyes and olive skin. [BellaSugar]

• Makeup artist Julie Hewett mixed shimmery bronzes and pinks for her new Ursula Palette, containing blush, gloss, shadow, and shimmer. She named it after Ursula Andress, the new Bond Girl. [Teen Vogue]

• Clinique’s Quick Eyes cream eye shadows are made to stay on all day, so you can go to the beach with makeup and not end up looking like a clown. [British Vogue]

NAILS
• Try the “watercoloring” technique for nail polish by combining a dark and light color for a marble effect. It’s different, it’s bold, we like it. [Casual Lavish]

PLASTIC SURGERY
• The most important question you will ponder all day: Are Marisa Miller’s boobs fake?! [Awful Plastic Surgery]

SKIN
• Well, this is gross: One type of tattoo features fake boobs. Like, they’re drawn on and injected with silicone. So it’s like having little boobs sticking out of your leg. [Kiss and Makeup]

• One blogger tried the 30 day raw-foods challenge, and she said it made her skin look quite radiant. [Jack and Hill]

• With three soap scents of vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate, the $10 Neapolitan Soapsicle makes you smell like ice cream. And sudsing up is calorie-free. [Outblush]

• This columnist is frustrated with the negative perceptions of pale skin in the summer. We agree — being pasty is just fine. [London Paper]

Why Is Kate Moss Getting Downgraded?

Something interesting has started happening to Kate Moss, and it has nothing to do with sharing bathrooms with her closest friends. She’s getting kind of, well, downgraded, and we can’t decide if it’s good that she’s still working or just flat-out embarrassing. First Agent Provocateur demoted her from starring in the campaign for its main line to doing its bridal line. And today we learned she’s been demoted to the Just Cavalli campaign after mugging for the Roberto Cavalli campaign for the past few seasons. Though it doesn’t have a lower-priced line for her to move to, she’s also out at Yves Saint Laurent, which replaced her with Naomi Campbell.

Designers must shake up the look of things every season, and casting changes are a necessary part of that. So perhaps Agent Provocateur and Cavalli love Moss so much they don’t want to let her go so they throw her in the slots they’ve got left. That would be rather flattering. But what if, on the other hand, they’re seeing her in a different light — less ultra high fashion and more mass market (ahem, Topshop)? Donna Karan has hired Moss again for her fall campaign since she loved her so much in the spring ads. But how long will she last before she scoots down to DKNY?
