Beauty News: Barbie Makeup for Big Kids

Coming soon to beauty: Instead of throwing a big bash to celebrate her 50th, Barbie is launching a makeup and skincare line.
What it is: Barbie's got the life: she has a great figure, fabulous hair, and she never seems to age. Aren't you dying to know her secret? You're in luck! In 2009 she's going to share by debuting her All Doll'd Up cosmetics and Plastic Smooth skincare line.
Why it's cool: The plastic princess is admired by girls of all ages, but as a toy she's a hit among the grammar school crowd. With her break into the beauty business, she's targeting a slightly older group of gals. 
Barbie
I took a trip to Toys R' Us in Times Square to browse their Barbie selection. One word: overwhelming!
Where to find it: This information is brand new, so all the details haven't come out. Keep your eyes peeled in 2009 for store locations.
Note to SELF: Barbie is a fashion icon. She's been dressed by all the best designers (like Zac Posen and Vera Wang) and styled by M.A.C. If anyone knows a thing about the glamorous life, it's Barbie!
