I keep having run-ins with celebrity-endorsed beauty products. Two years ago, in the desparate budget-concerned college days, I purchased things from the reasonably-priced Mary-kate and Ashley line from Walmart. As fellow straight-haired girls, they should have known their shine serum weighted down straight hair and smelled like rancid coconut rum. How surprising that they try to pass it off as either a) designing the products themselves or at least b) approving each product. Surely under-aged teen stardom resulted in a run-in with some Malibu. You’d think.
About a year later I heard of Celine Dion perfume. Put it on, and suddenly you are a Canadian operatic diva who now works the Las Vegas crowd. 20 years, and you’ll be the female version of Wayne Newton! Ding.
I discovered a few weeks ago that the 20-something bleach-blond divas had to join in on the fun. Apparently, I am a demographic who would be desparate to buy Britney Spears “Curious” or perhaps some Edible cosmetics.
Exploring these products made me realize that I might need some things I never dreamed of. After seeing the belly button lotion, I’m starting to wonder if the general public wants to run away from my unflavored, unscented tummy.
What do you think? Are you flavored?

I fear your unflavored unscented belly button! *runs away* Seriously, who would of thought that one up? That just seems so silly to me.
