On Super Botox Me, Kate Spicer, a British lifestyles journalist, explores the many ways we try to stop the aging process - including laser treatment, injections, and that bird poo facial we've all been hearing about. This documentary may have you squirming in your seat, but there is no doubt you will get a realistic look at how far some will go for beauty. 

Super Botox Me airs on BBC America on March 26 at 9 p.m. ET

The line includes lipsticks, lip glosses, eye shadows, pigment, glitter, nail polish, and more in shades of pink, turquoise, lavender, and green. The goodies will be available February 10th, 2009.
