Cellulite sucks. I was able to live cellulite-free until my late 30s. I was lucky, because I’ve seen girls much younger than that, girls with no real weight problem, who had cellulite.

Most women these days carry just about everything in their bags and that includes their cosmetics. If you spend a lot of make up it’s always a good idea to keep them safe in a functional but cute make up bag. If you’re traveling, don’t just use any old cosmetic bag for your make-up, you need something sturdy and versatile for your needs.
I found a couple cosmetic bags at Beauty.com that fit the bill.

I’ve been sipping Orange-Spice iced tea all day, so this set from Kings & Queens sounds pretty tasty to me right now. Well, maybe not “tasty,” but I bet it smells pretty darn good.  The addition of the spicy cinnamon keeps a fruity scent from being too sweet.
According to Kings & Queens, former Queen of Spain, Queen Isabella was a big fan of cinnamon. She loved it so much that she financed Christopher Columbus’s expedition in the hopes that he would find a new route to further cinnamon riches.

Today and today only is Beauty.com’s Friends & Family event.  Use this link to get your discount.  And don’t say I didn’t tell you about Sephora’s Friends and Family discount, also 20%, but a little more hush-hush…you gotta use the secret password, FF2007, when you check out.

I don’t know if I’ll take part, but 20% is not a small discount when it comes to high-end makeup, haircare, perfume and home fragrance. Are you going to order? What do you want? I think if I do order I’ll get:

Clean: Fresh Laundry Scented Candle ($29)

Fresh: Sugar Cubes bath fizzies ($32)

Philosophy: Shear Splendor ($20)

Urban Decay: 24/7 On the Go Travel set ($29)

While visiting Beauty.com I decided to check out the recent ‘top sellers’. It seems a little one-sided:

Not that I’m super surprised, or disappointed – Philosophy makes easy to wear scents that aren’t overwhelming, and are affordable enough. But to completely dominate a top ten best seller list (with only one, slightly surprising exception) is quite…impressive. My hats off to the Beauty.com marketing folks and Philosophy.
