MAKEUP
• Anne Hathaway: “I think I’ve got really weird features. I have very large features on a very small head. But, you know, I’m not going to beat myself up. It’s my face. I’m not very pretty. But that’s OK because I do know that I look like myself, and I think at the end of the day, as nice as pretty is, authenticity is more important.” [StyleWatch/People]
• Milly’s Michelle Smith created a makeup bag for Clinique, the second time the designer has done this for the cosmetics company. The foldover clutch with a tropical-inspired print is available through February 21 free with any purchase over $25. [BellaSugar]
PLASTIC SURGERY
• It’s been a long-running joke that people with Botox can’t express emotion, but now new research says that people who have had Botox actually do have more trouble experiencing emotion.

FRAGRANCE
