Sex And The City's Kim Cattrall Tapped As Olay's New Total Effects Ambassador

Congrats, Kim Cattrall. The sexy Sex and the City star has been named as one of Olay's newest beauty ambassadors.

And at age 54, we think that's a wonderful compliment and gig for the actress.

kim will become a spokesperson for Total Effects Anti-Aging Body Wash and Lotion, which claims to 'improve elasticity in 1 week, younger-looking, radiant skin in 1 month.'

Representatives for Procter & Gamble say TV commercials featuring Kim will launch here on February 28th, with magazine ads appearing in April.

Some catty websites have already fired off the jealousy missiles, claiming that SATC's Samantha Jones has been heavily airbrushed. However, P&G claims there was only a minimal amount of photoshopping done:

"In accordance with our own strict guidelines, only very minimal retouching was done on the photos of Kim," a spokesperson for Proctor & Gamble tells the curious British press.

"They capture her natural youthfulness and radiance and that’s exactly what makes her a great ambassador for the brand’s new Body Wash.

The way we see it, re-touching is done on just about every person featured in print and television ads. It's the nature of the business, and even the young and beautiful have been photoshopped.

Remember Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher, telling Oprah that it is great lighting on television and the fine work of a professional hair and makeup team that makes actresses look youthful and gorgeous with smooth, flawless skin. It's not reality, but the modeling and acting worlds present a fantasy, and the public buys into it.

Take a look at the photos here of lovely Kim Cattrall. The top photo is a still from her Olay Total Effects ad. And the other photo shows the actress just last week in Manhattan. Yes, Kim looks older in the NYC photo. So what?!

Meow! Meow! People just love to hate. Meanwhile, we love Kim Cattrall's spirit, her energy, and all-American looks. We look forward to her Olay Total Effects Anti-Aging Body Wash and Lotion commercials.

Jessica Alba Won't Leave Home Without This Excellent Eye Cream

Why would barely 30 and gorgeous, Jessica Alba, be worried about not leaving home without an eye cream?!

Maybe because she is beauty savvy, protecting her skin early, and realizing, that the delicate eye area is always screaming for a little more TLC. And the more hydrated the eye area appears, the smoother and more rested the entire eye looks.

Jessica Alba's favorite won't-leave-home-without eye cream:

Cle de Peau Eye Contour Balm Anti-Wrinkle ($135, at fine dept. stores like Bergdorf's.

Jessica says, "I always have it in my travel kit."

Why? Well, for one reason alone, Cle de Peau Eye Contour comes in balm form and is packed with great anti-wrinkle ingredients:
"A velvety balm with Retinol and Bupleurum Extract that hydrates eye area skin, dramatically improves texture, and promotes resilience to counteract visible signs of aging.".

It's never too late to begin caring for your skin, especially the fragile eye area. And since we are in a brand new year, it's a smart time to invest in an eye cream that delivers results.
