The beauty news stories that made headlines this week.
Rob Lowe Launches a Skincare Line Rob Lowe can now add beauty entrepreneur to his resume. The 51-year-old is launching a skincare line this fall and tells WWD, “I’m not the celebrity endorser, I’m not the face of the product. I’m the developer of it. I have an entrepreneurial spirit. I’m just very proprietary about my communications and my aesthetic.” In addition, the actor-slash-entrepreneur will be debuting two fragrances he developed in time for the holiday season. [tFS]
