Fujifilm To Expand Its Beauty Line Into Europe

Fujifilm might be known primarily when it comes to electronics, but the Tokyo-based company is branching out — into cosmetics!

A bit random, no?

Turns out though that Fujifilm actually launched an anti-aging skin care line, Astalift, in Japan back in 2007. The brand is now the fourth largest skin care brand in Japan.

Just last year they branched out into China with plans to enter France this coming February and then Spain, Germany and the UK later next year.

Andrzej Brylak, director of Fujifilm’s European health and beauty division, reveals:

“One of the problems with photography [is] anti-oxidization — how to protect the picture, the colors, how to preserve the material and fight with oxygen. And this is also one of the problems with the skin.”

The company seems to be doing well with Astalift as their revenues were at $134.6 million last year.

No date has been given as to when they plan on entering the US so for now plans are only to expand in Europe and nearby.

Would U try Astalift?

Peaches Geldof Caught Stealing! No Police Report Was Filed!

We’re not sure why rich celebs feel the need to steal, but Peaches Geldof is at it again!

The British socialite and model was caught shoplifting makeup this past Friday from a branch of Boots the Chemists.

The 22-year-old was spotted by undercover security placing over $100 worth of makeup into her pockets and bags before heading out of the store.

She was caught by security as she tried to leave and taken to a back room where she handed over the stolen goodies. And while most would have called the police to report the incident, Peaches was let go.

House's Hugh Laurie Is The New Face Of L'Oreal Male Cosmetics

House doctor Hugh Laurie obviously enjoys variety in his life.

Still acting, Hugh has used this year to delve into other realms of business, first experimenting with blues, and now with man makeup.

One of L'Oreal's main attractions to Mr. Laurie has to be his U.S. popularity. Fans everywhere tune in to watch him play doctor on House.

Cyril Chapuy, global brand president of L'Oreal Paris, is ecstatic with the company's decision to have him on call, saying:

[He is] the perfect example of a modern man: genuine, uninhibited, strong and willing to pursue his passions to the end.

Oooh, sounds like someone has a crush!

When asked what he thought of it himself thought of it, he states:

At first I thought it was a mistake but then I realized that L'Oreal wasn't looking for models, but real people with strong personalities, who are worth it and who aren't afraid to proclaim that using cosmetics can be a very masculine decision after all.

Hey, anyone else notice the L'Oreal slogan thrown in there? Clever, clever Mr. Laurie! Clever, Clever!

By the way, we totally agree with L'Oreal. Hugh Laurie makes a fabulous choice for the face of male cosmetics.
