Book Release: Obsession

Heiress Gloria Vanderbilt, author of four memoirs and two novels, gets hot and heavy in her latest, Obsession, out this month.

The erotic tale centers around Priscilla, who finds steamy letters written between her recently passed husband and a mistress. And so begins her obsession, and our (and probably Vanderbilt’s son Anderson Cooper’s) blushing.

New Makeup: Two-in-One Lip Color

Saving up for a Prius? Check out these hybrids! Fans of Fresh’s best-seller, the Sugar lip balm, will love the new Sugar Rosé Tinted Lip Treatment SPF 15, which combines the original’s rich moisturizers with a looks-like-your-lips-but-better hint of color. And DuWop Lipmousse, with the texture of decadent whipped cream, delivers the intense pigment of a lipstick plus the soft shine of a gloss.

Emma Watson's Leather Look : Bewitching!

No surprise Emma Watson is related to a witch. It's pretty magical how a 19-year-old can make millions per movie, get accepted to Yale and laugh off a wardrobe malfunction on national television (Tara Reid should take notes).

Emma's most recent supernatural talent? Managing to look adorbs throughout the entire Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince press tour. Our favorite was the Proenza Schouler dress she wore to the film's New York premiere. It was edgy, yet still ladylike, just like the Brit beauty. Here's how to recreate the look for less:

Cast a spell with ASOS leather-look bustier ($58.85). They won't be able to keep their eyes off of you!
