Best Selling Makeup And Beauty Products: Q1 2010!

Greetings, beauty aficionados!

When I was in junior high, it was common for girls to ask if they could look through your bag. The snooping was partially to pass the time, but was also a way of saying “I’d like to get to know you better. What can I find out about you if I look through your stash?”

As an adult, etiquette prevents us from continuing this behavior, so I’m offering the next best thing! Welcome to the “Best Selling Beauty” feature! The question posed to some of my favorite beauty brands was: “What was your #1 best-selling product from Q1 2010, measured by units sold?” The following products are the “go-to” beauty products purchased by women thus far in 2010. Hope it satisfies your curiosity! If not, it’s a great head-start on gift ideas for Mom!

	Who: Borghese What: Fango Mud for Face and Body, $61 Where: Borghese.com Why: 35 years of cleansing skin, leaving it refreshed and soft! Customers swear by it for controlling breakouts and brightening the complexion.
	Who: La Mer What: Crème de la Mer, $130-$1,390 Where: laMer.com Why: In a short time, skin becomes softer, firmer, looks virtually creaseless. Aging lines and pores are noticeably less visible. Even the driest of complexions are healed. Sensitivities are soothed. And, of course, there are also those who insist it has produced astonishing results.
	Who: Alterna Professional Haircare What: Caviar Anti-Aging Moisture Shampoo, $30 Where: Beauty.com Why: In a world where everyone is always looking for a quick fix, this shampoo yields instant results. After one wash, hair feels stronger, softer, and healthier. Results are cumulative and hair keeps looking better and better. Use with the corresponding conditioner for even more impressive results.
	Who: KENZO What: FlowerbyKenzo le Parfum, $72-92 Where: kenzousa.com Why: Amber and almond make this scent a rich, sensual take on the original FlowerbyKenzo, and its vibrant, matte red bottle stands out on any shelf.
	Who: Treat Beauty What: Treat Soft Candy Vanilla Buttercream Old Fashioned Jumbo Lip Balm, $10 Where: TreatBeauty.com Why: Whoever said good things come in small packages has never tried Treat’s Old Fashioned Jumbo Lip Balms. They are just like the big lip balms from when you were a kid, so delicious you will want to eat them up. Also you will have no problem finding them in your handbag!
	Who: NARS What: Orgasm Blush, $26 Where: NARSCosmetics.com Why: Flattering for every skin tone, this peachy pink color with shimmering flecks of gold has won over the hearts of women everywhere!

Until recently, my exposure to Avon cosmetics was limited. Recently I received a sample of Avon’s Ultra Color Rich Mega Impact Lipstick SPF15 in the shade “Pink Pop” and I’ve been hooked ever since. This lipstick manages to kill more than two birds with one stone! The moisturizing formula is kind to dry lips, the SPF15 will protect lips from sun damage, and the price is gentle on the wallet!

Regular price is only $8 per lipstick! It’s a great deal, and my favorite budget lipstick!

gloGloss Brown Sugar Swatches And Reviews: gloMinerals Spring 2010 Makeup Collection!

Lately, I’ve been loving the Spring 2010 makeup collection from gloMinerals. Specifically, I find myself selecting this gloss shade from my makeup bag on a regular basis.

When I worked at a deli during my teen years, many customers would order their coffee “light and sweet”. “Light and Sweet” meant a TON of milk and a TON of sugar. The color of this gloss is exactly the shade of coffee served light and sweet. Just a touch darker than nude, with a hint of brown. It’s a universally flattering shade, and the formula is completely scent and flavor-free!

Retail price is $15.50. To buy this product or to check out the plethora of other shades of gloGloss available at gloMinerals, CLICK HERE to head over to gloskincare.com.
