Bobbi Brown Treat

Bobbi Brown is treating us to two free travel sized goodies plus free standard shipping with our orders of $50 or more. As you know, Bobbi doesn't really 'do' deluxe treats and buying incentives all that much, so to have one during the holidays is sweet indeed.

The goodies consist of her bestselling Everything Mascara, which has an innovative, all-in-one formula that lengthens, thickens, and defines - without smearing, smudging or clumping, and her award winning Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks in Rose, a cream-based formula that is applied by blotting on cheeks or lips for a sheer, stained finish. That Pot Rouge will last a long, long time, even in the mini version!

To take advantage of her offer, simply enter code: TREAT at checkout for free standard shipping and the two free travel sized items. Offer ends 12/17 or while supplies last.

Grooming Lounge: Don't Forget Your Guys Love Their Beauty Too

Michael Gilman & Pirooz Sarshar

The Grooming Lounge is the country's premiere destination for quality men's grooming products and services. Whether a man is looking for a new shaving regimen, a hair product, a skincare solution or a way to deal with an embarrassing problem, the Grooming Lounge can help.
The Grooming Lounge was launched in 1999 by Michael Gilman & Pirooz Sarshar, two individuals with a lifetime of experience in the men's grooming industry (Gilman grew up in the cosmetic product distribution business and Sarshar has been a barber since the age of 16). After serving as the "un-official grooming gurus/suppliers" to their regular-guy buddies for years, the duo decided to make it official by creating a grooming brand incorporating stores, a web site, a catalog and custom-blended grooming products. Above all, Michael and Pirooz want to set a new standard in the industry by making men feel "like kings" via the best in customer and technical service.


WHY THESE PARTICULAR PRODUCTS?
When it comes to products, The Grooming Lounge only offers the "best of the best." We figured that most guys don't want to sort through 30 or more shaving creams before settling on a selection. So, instead of showcasing every product under the sun, we decided to offer only items that deliver the maximum results for each individual grooming need or challenge.


JUST HOW DO WE KNOW THESE PRODUCTS WORK?
All products featured on the site are used and recommended by Grooming Experts in our D.C., Virginia and Atlanta stores. These people are experienced professionals and have given every product the "thumbs up."

Dolce & Gabbana to Launch Makeup Line

Expected to hit shelves in January 2009, fashion designers Dolce & Gabbana are readying their new makeup line for distribution. Fragrance and cosmetics licensee Procter & Gamble Prestige Products collaborated with the designers to create the color cosmetics line. Reports are the line took several years to produce.

Good move: The designer duo of D & G also sought help creating their products from makeup artist extraordinaire Pat McGrath. McGrath is the creative force behind the models’ faces backstage at Dolce & Gabbana fashion shows. Rumors are that a Hollywood starlet will be the face of the makeup line’s advertising campaign.

The Spirit Brings Out the Beauties

Scarlett Johansson and Eva Mendes at the launch party for their new film The Spirit. What you notice most is their flawless skin, touched up surperbly with a little peachy-apricot blush. As Beauty Counter tells us in Celebrity Looks, a winter flush is a key component of the makeup look for the season.

I love that electric blue eyeliner on Eva. The whole look blends beautifully with her gorgeous canary yellow dress. To get a more detailed (larger) image of the two, click here for Beauty Counter's pic.
