Marc Jacobs and his party posse were in London last night, celebrating his upcoming fragrance BANG, which launches here October 24. He managed to pull in quite the crowd: Jaime Winstone, Daisy Lowe, Beth Ditto and Jesus Luz. But all eyes were on Mischa Barton.

OK so the name does imply that lip gloss is meant for adding shine to the lips but, the next time you need a little pick-me-up or you've got an unexpected rendezvous with the guy you've been making eyes at in line for coffee, turn to your trusty friend: the lip gloss. It is a multi-tasking marvel, I tells ya.
