Actress Lindsay Lohan is on a roll to success after posing for Playboy Magazine. Although no acting gigs have been confirmed just yet, she has been adding model to her resume a lot lately. Check out the first photo of her posing as the face of FCUK’s “Friction” fragrance campaign. FCUK is a popular clothing brand that has branched out to selling perfume and cologne.

Lohan was photographed with model Petey Wright. Although this picture was used in her past editorial spread with Muse Magazine, it fits the ad perfectly. So far 2012 is looking up for the troubled actress, let's hope that we will see her on the silver screen soon.

Lindsay, we're rooting for ya!

Can this Downtown Fashionista admit to you readers that I have not washed my hair since New Year's Eve. In fact I, personally haven't washed my own hair in months since I have a stylist for that but since I haven't scheduled an appointment since last year my hair hasn't gotten the attention it deserves. If you're like me and can admit that you're a wimp when it comes to treating your own hair because you're so used to a professional handling it then you need to quickly get The Denman Scented Brushes. There are five different brushes and each were created to give off a sweet fruit smelling fragrance to make that dirty hair smell oh so much better. You can choose from: Strawberry Shortcake, Green Apple, Wild Dewberry, Lemon Sherbert, and Coconut. I don't know about you but I'm getting hungry. This brush is perfect for that person on the go that didn't have time to wash their hair after going to the gym or like me, still has to schedule a hair appointment with her beautician. Leave a scent as you walk away on that first date or make a lasting impression on that job interview. Denman Scented Brushes is definitely on my 'to get' list.

We've all heard of mood rings, but what about mood lipstick. One of my favorite stores Urban Outfitters is selling a fabulous product that I'd definitely love to have bringing in the new year. It's their Urban Outfitters Mood Lipstick. Unlike a mood ring the available shades do not change colors according to your current emotion, or like any mood ring I used...change to the color blue or green. These lipsticks are sheer with a hint of different pink tints in each one. For a mere $14 you will receive not one but five shades of all titled to an everyday emotion: Temper, Melancholy, Clarity, Vain and Lust. I don't know about you but these are emotions that I feel on a daily basis. The Urban Outfitters Mood Lipstick makes a perfect gift for that daughter that you don't want wearing much make-up yet but knows would have a melt down if she owned these. How cool would it be to pull out a green lipstick shade and have your co-workers or friends wondering why you'd wear such a color. If you're going to a job you don't like, wear your emotion on your lips..temper.

If you enjoy decorating your home with products that would make anyone laugh, then you must check out this salt shaker by Pantene. Known for creating products that leave your hair clean and shiny, it's pretty funny that they've designed a woman's face on the shaker, only to make it look like she has horrible dandruff after you've seasoned your chicken. This was designed to promote Pantene's anti-dandruff shampoo. I definitely think their message was sent successfully.

Since you're either snowed in or covering yourself with sweaters waiting for the daily sun, you can fantasize about when you can wear this new and uber cool makeup line that's coming to a Sephora near you. It's called Tokidoki cosmetics and it's made by designer Simone Legno. This new makeup line is different from anything you'll currently see when you enter Sephore because it's Japanese inspired designs. Girls we can dress up our gorgeous faces with a variety of eye liners, eye shadows, bronzers and also brushes to apply the product. Tokidoki is perfect to use this Spring season because it offers vibrant colors and I can't forget to mention it's held in such cool crossbone and heart-shaped compartments. A perfect gift for the gal that loves makeup or even your daughter that's just starting out using her first eye shadow applicator. Sephora only sells outstanding products so you can only expect perfection from Tokidoki.

Have you seen the latest makeup of Nicole Kidman in the red carpet premiere of “Nine”? I never thought I’d see a lot of powder in her face. Don’t get me wrong, I am not insulting Nicole Kidman. In fact, I like her and I have always been fascinated by her beauty in every red carpet event that she attends. She has always worn perfect make-up, that is why I wonder where her make-up artist was that night to have too much powder visible in her face.

But this also happens to ordinary women, and I have seen some who have experienced this makeup mishap whenever their pictures are taken. So, let us not isolate Kidman’s case as even YOU can experience having too much powder in your face. Some say maybe the makeup artist was in a hurry to finish her makeup so he/she just “threw” powder in her face.

With this, I think there is a lesson learned when putting on powder makeup. First of, avoid using a sponge or powder puff as this can put too much powder in the face. Second, after putting the powder, you should spread it out equally so that when looking at the mirror, your face looks natural. I think this is basic makeup that most women know, but it is up to us on how we will put it properly. Also, it is good to remember NOT to put makeup when your time before the event is running out. I believe putting on makeup is something that we should put our time and effort on so that we can look good and beautiful in front of everyone.

What happened to Nicole Kidman is something that we should not condemn because I am pretty sure that her makeup mishap happens to all of us. It just happens that she is a celebrity and the media suddenly makes a big deal over it. I’m pretty sure she’ll be looking pretty good on her next red carpet event.
