Heard this tip today from celebrity hairstylist Frank Friscioni (who has worked on Katherine Heigl and Renee Zellweger) and had to share. It's a smart one:

Our homepage poll the other day asked if you would pay $55 for an amazing lip balm and a whopping 91 percent of you said no.

Avon just launched a new Hannah Montana line. Now girls can use 2-in-1 shampoo, shower gel, hand cream and lip balm -- all with Miley Cyrus's alter ego on the package.
