BECKY SHER | Hype Beautiful people use Zirh's



Do the names Fred Durst, Grant Hill, David Schwimmer, Derek Jeter and Carson Daly mean anything to you? Sure they do, unless you've been living on a deserted island since the turn of the 21st century.
You can't have their megabuck paychecks, but there's one thing you can have in common: Their shaving cream. And body scrub. And hair gel. Those celebs are all fans of Zirh, the very hip company that makes awesome men's hair and skin care products. (Though a lot of Zirh's stuff is totally unisex -- Sarah Jessica Parker and Nicole Kidman have hopped on the Zirh bandwagon.) The line is so of-the-moment that it's been spoofed on "Saturday Night Live." (And did we mention "SNL" star Chris Kattan has been seen buying Zirh stuff at a New York department store?)
Lucky for you, you don't have to have your own TV show to be into Zirh. You can get a jar of aloe vera shave cream for less than 20 bucks. Or a tube of facial scrub for $13. (Kattan picked up Restore under-eye cream and Fix blemish-control lotion, FYI.) The products have tons of natural ingredients, and look very sleek sitting on your bathroom sink. Head to your local mall, where you can find Zirh products at most department stores or Sephora boutiques. (Online, check out www.zirh.com.) What's so great about this stuff? We'll ask Carson next time we see him.

Just because your car came off the assembly line during the first Bush administration doesn't mean you can't drive in style. Urban Decay, the oh-so-trendy cosmetics company, has teamed up with electronics manufacturer JVC to create car stereos just for women. The CD receivers are totally sleek, and they're all decked out in classic UD shades -- "Shattered" is a metallic green, and "Asphyxia" glows soft violet. (How many people can say that their eye shadow matches their car radio?)
Plus, the great-looking receivers come with a tiny wireless remote control. (Though that could be dangerous if it ends up in the hands of your pal in the backseat. Or your little brother.) True, the stereo isn't exactly an impulse buy -- at $200, you'll need to save up some summer paychecks or add it to your birthday list. Check out www.urbandecay.com and www.jvc.com for details.
