Julia Roberts‘ promotional deal with French luxury beauty brand Lancôme will earn her a whopping $20 million, reports Radar Online.

In late 2009, Lancôme announced Roberts’ appointment as their 2010 global brand ambassador. The deal was Julia’s first as a beauty company brand ambassador.

Julia, 42, will feature in Lancôme Spring 2010 advertising campaign and is set to jet off to Paris for its photo shoot. Her husband, Danny Moder, will accompany her on the week long trip that will mix business with pleasure.

The couple will leave their three children – seven year old fraternal twins, daughter Hazel Patricia and son Phinnaeus “Finn” Walter; and 2-year-old son Henry Daniel Moder – in LA with family.

Kate Winslet, Anne Hathaway, Juliette Binoche and Clive Owen have endorsed specific Lancôme products, but Roberts is Lancôme’s first spokesmodel for the entire brand.

Makeup Inspired by “Alice in Wonderland”

urbandecayaliceinwonderland.jpg

What a dream come true! When Disney called to ask if Urban Decay would design a product for the launch of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, they were like, “Um…. Yes!” The result is this truly amazing (and seriously collectible) Book of Shadows.

Open the palette to reveal a pop-up scene of Alice in the mushroom forest. Her “drink me” bottle discarded, she staggers past towering mushrooms, only to cross paths with a very peculiar, hookah-smoking caterpillar. A large mirror rests behind the scene – you feel as if you are transported into the film itself.

Hidden inside a secret drawer are 16 best-selling Eyeshadows, given topsy-turvy names like White Rabbit, Jabberwocky and Oraculum. Alongside them lie travel sizes of Eyeshadow Primer Potion and two 24/7 Eye Pencils. From smoky neutral eyes to flashes of hallucinogenic green and purple, the looks you can create are as endless as the rabbit hole itself. Anyone who loves Urban Decay, Tim Burton, Disney, or Alice in Wonderland absolutely MUST have this palette. Even the Mad Hatter would say this Book of Shadows delivers it all.

Fill Weight: Eyeshadows: 16 x 0.8 g e 16 x 0.03 US oz; Eyeshadow Primer Potion: 3.7ml e 0.13 US fl oz; 24/7 Eye Pencils: 2 x 0.8g e 2 x 0.03 US oz

How the stars get their “Golden Globes Glow”–while they sleep‏

Sunday’s Golden Globes ceremony marked the unofficial start of this year’s award show season, and the stars didn’t let the L.A. rain dampen their bold red carpet style. Fresh-faced looks abounded Sunday evening, with A-listers Kate Winslet and Reese Witherspoon earning rave reviews for their smooth, dewy skin and flawless hair. Their secret to a Red Carpet glow?

Chalk it up to a beautiful night’s rest thanks to Branché Beauty Sleep. Winslet and Witherspoon are among a sleep-conscious crowd of stars that turn to Branché’s Silk Charmeuse Pillow Covers when in need of a quick beauty boost. Naturally infused with amino acids and copper, Branché’s satiny smooth pillow cases let hair and skin slip and slide while you toss and turn, protecting against broken, frizzy hair and unsightly creases in the skin. It’s no wonder that Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria and Amanda Seyfried are fans.

To shave or not to shave?

Mo’Nique bared it all last night showing a little leg, well a little leg and a lot of hair. So in this new decade are we evolved enough to say right on, shaving is a woman’s choice or does it still give you the creeps?  Living in Oregon a very granola girl friendly state unshaven armpits and legs are not out of the norm but something about hairy legs in great shoes and a fancy dress just throws me off.  What do you think?

New! Dessert Essence Hand Wash

3753de_handwash_lavender.jpg

I just had the chance to sample this soap and it has worked wonders on my skin in one weekend. My hands get so dry during the winter even with constant lotion application its near impossible to keep my skin from getting red and dry. I put this new Dessert Essence soap in my bathroom for a party at my house this Saturday and have been using it since. In just the last day and a half my skin has improved remarkably. The soap comes out like a lotion but cleans really well and smells delicious. 

I really like how the pump only dispenses a little bit, you need barely a drop to get your hands clean and my kids waste so much soap this helps control how much they get out while they pump. Definitely a must have for the cold winter months, I can’t wait to try the other scents.

Behind the Scenes at Josh Holloway’s Sexy Cool Water Shoot

Josh Holloway is venturing into modeling again, stepping in front of the camera for the second time for Davidoff Cool Water cologne for the scent’s newest campaign. The ads will feature the 40-year-old star looking tanned, buff, brooding and shirtless with the sea as a backdrop — just like his character Sawyer on Lost.

“I am very honored to represent Davidoff Cool Water again for this new campaign. Cool Water represents power, masculinity and freshness. That’s what the ocean is to me. The power of Cool is back!” says Holloway in a statement. The Hawaii resident and extreme-sports fan continues, “I love Cool Water because it is simple, powerful and timeless. To me, the Cool Water man is not someone who is trying to be cool, he is someone who is comfortable with his masculinity.” The campaign was shot by famed fashion photographer Mikael Jansson on the luscious beaches of Hawaii, with the ads breaking this week.

Another celebrity fragrance – this time from emotionless Taylor Momsen!

While the rest of the world is expressing their concern for the people of Haiti while they struggle to recover from the 7.0-magnitude earthquake that has taken the lives of hundreds of thousands and left many more without food, shelter or medical care, Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen tells OK! that, well… like, she’s just too busy right now to even pretend to care about the situation.

Last night, OK! caught up with the leggy teenager at the Victoria’s Secret store in NYC’s SoHo district, where she was promoting her new fragrance, Love Rocks. And when asked if she’s planning to follow the lead of stars like Wyclef Jean, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who are making high-profile donations and pleas for help, Taylor told OK!, “Um, right now I’m trying to just finish my record and getting through the last season of Gossip Girl for right now. So not so much thinking about that.”

But before you think she’s both clueless and heartless, Taylor added, “But it’s awesome that everyone is ya know working towards a good cause.”
