The singer’s fashion brand Harajuku Lovers – which reflects Gwen’s love of Japanese Culture and Pop Art – will partner with the renowned tweezer company for a new range of products, which will be available from next March.

Gwen said: “I am super excited to have Harajuku Lovers partnering with Tweezerman for this limited edition designer series. The Harajuku Lovers/Tweezerman products are not only the best quality beauty tools but are also ridiculously cute! Every time I see them they make me smile.”

The new Tweezerman Harajuku Lovers Designer Series features playful patterns of the Harajuku Girls characters that capture the essence of the lyrics and iconiography from Gwen’s music and appeal to anyone with a “fatal attraction to cuteness“.

Tweezerman’s award-winning Slant Tweezers feature perfectly aligned, hand finished precision tips for expert brow shaping.

Harajuku Lovers draws from Japanese youth culture and fashion inspired by the eclectic street scene of the Harajuku shopping district in Tokyo.

So how does she do it all?

“I think lately, my new secret is just trying to delegate,” Gwen told Access Hollywood Correspondent Tim Vincent.

“I just make priorities of what’s important at the moment,” she continued. “Right now, the No Doubt record is everything for me.”

Gwen said she and her bandmates have a system for getting their album done.

“We do this thing where we work on it really hard, and then we take breaks, because everybody has so much going on,” she said. “That’s why it’s taking so long.

“Everybody asks, ‘Why is it taking so long?’ Because I have kids,” Gwen continued, with a laugh. “I’m a mom! I have school, I have homework. It’s a lot.”

Gwen’s Harajuku Mini line for Target is out now.

The line — set to go on sale Nov. 3 — is inspired by Stefani’s love for Japanese street style.

“Harajuku Mini is a dream come true,” Stefani told Women’s Wear Daily after the announcement. “I’ve always wanted to do a cool children’s fashion line inspired by the supercute and playful kid’s clothing you find in Japan.”

The line will include everything from shoes to hoodies designed specifically for the toddler-to-tween set. Affordability was important for the mother of two: nothing will cost more than $30.

“Target has given me the creative freedom to design kid’s clothing that is different than most anything you usually see out there with great quality, attention to detail and most of all, available at amazing prices,” Stefani said.

We can already tell the clothes and accessories will be super cute, judging from the promo photo (love, love, love the mini tutu!) and the way she dresses sons Kingston and Zuma.

“The whole idea is about being creative, expressing your own individuality, and having fun getting dressed,” she told WWD. It looks like she’s achieving just that with this collection.

Let’s just hope Target learned from the Missoni for Target debacle and stock plenty of Harajuku Mini on store shelves.

However, Gwen Stefani has a pretty good excuse–she’ll (possibly) be in Los Angeles finishing up No Doubt’s first new album in 10 years, which we are so excited about that we’re pretty sure we can forgive her. Plus, with three clothing lines (including Harajuku Mini which launches at Target in November), two fragrances, and Zuma, she has a lot on her plate.

A spokesperson for L.A.M.B. told Page Six, “Given the extraordinary demands of working on three fashion lines while also finishing a new record, it is hard to say whether she will be able to attend the actual presentation in New York next month.”

This makes us wonder how important Gwen Stefani’s presence at her show really is. L.A.M.B. shows are always entertaining in their own right, but the spring 2012 collection will have a little less star power without its designer there. This No Doubt album better be good!

Gwen Stefani’s History with Japan
Gwen Stefani has been inspired by Japan since she first toured there with No Doubt in 1996. Not only did she immediately fall in love with the country and it’s people, Gwen found a special connection to a district in Tokyo known as Harajuku, an area that thrives on creativity, music, art and fashion. The youth culture of the Harajuku district have been a constant muse for Gwen, inspiring both her clothing line called Harajuku Lovers and the song “Harajuku Girls.” Throughout her career Gwen has borrowed heavily from Japanese culture for many of her creative endeavors.

The group released its last studio album, Rock Steady, in 2001, and despite spending much of 2010 working on new tracks, the blonde beauty admits they aren’t nearing a finished project because of their other commitments.

Stefani is busy with her fashion line L.A.M.B. and guitarist Tom Dumont and bassist Tony Kanal have both recently fathered a child.

She tells the Wall Street Journal, “We’ve been doing a record all year; 10 songs have been recorded. When this (new fashion line) is done I’ll probably write a few more songs. I don’t know when it’ll come out, but you never know what can happen.”

“My band takes a weird process as well. It takes so long. And all of them just had babies, so it’ll be a while.”

Gwen Stefani is adding one more accomplishment to her growing list with the announcement to PEOPLE that she’s inked a deal as the next face of L’Oréal Paris. “I can’t believe I get to be one of the L’Oréal Paris girls,” says the star, “I love playing dress up, on stage or shooting videos, it’s always been one of my favorite parts of being in a band.” Of joining the brand’s stable of A-listers like Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria and Beyoncé Knowles, Stefani says, “To get to work with such a modern, talented group of people is really exciting. I’m a lucky, lucky girl.” Aptly enough for a star who’s made red lips her signature, Gwen’s first campaign will be for the brand’s Infallible Le Rouge lip color. And while she’s offered us a first look at an image from the set of her shoot (above), you’ll be able to catch her full commercial in just a few days, when it debuts during this Sunday’s Golden Globes
