Can benefit's packaging get any cuter? No it can't. They could sell tummy flumber, put it through their marketing department, and I'd still run to Sephora to try it out. So CUTE!
The Premiere of Vivica A. Fox's Glam Gods on VH1
Are you going to watch the premiere of the new VH1 show Glam Gods? Premiering TONIGHT at 10 pm, AND featuring Charles Worthington London stylist, TIM ROGERS - it may be worth a look see. If for no other reason than to ogle hostess Vivica A. Fox. I personally need to get paid to watch reality television but now that it involves hair stylists, I'm torn.
Twelve stylists from all walks of life move into an L.A. loft to compete for the coveted title of GLAM GOD. At stake: representation by a major styling agency, a celebrity spread in US MAGAZINE, and $100,000.
Check out all the name-calling, Deity-naming, and straight eliminating above.

This results in some unpleasant boyfriend situations but almost always results in lovely candle selections.altru is a home fragrance collection consisting of candles, incense and oils- all inspired by the beauty and handcrafted artistry of cultures around the world.

Watch, Comment, Win: The Women Behind the Women - a Documentary
The Women Behind The Women is a short documentary created by Hollywood producer Diane English and 16 year old journalist Cammie Nelson. Cammie spent three days on the set of The Women, English's latest all female cast and crew feature length film. The goal of Cammie's short visit is to find the definition of real beauty. Cammie sits with some of Hollywood's most powerful and externally beautiful women and probes them about inner beauty. Annette Bening, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Meg Ryan, and Debra Messing all provide stunning answers about being women in Hollywood and where their inner beauty originates. Dove, the sponsor of the documentary, is reaching out to beauty bloggers to expand the conversation around this film and their long standing Campaign for Real Beauty.
This film has deeply affected me. I spend much of my days testing and reviewing products that promise to appease our desire for outer beauty, erase wrinkles, and make our features "pop." Seriously if someone tells me how to make my features "pop" one more time I might just faint. So in order to get us to talk about beauty inside and out Dove is sending me two free tickets to The Women and a bag full of Dove goodies. I will promptly hand them over to whoever watches the documentary and comments on this post most often.

I have a long long list of concoctions I turn to for outer beauty. Inner beauty I have found is felt when in close proximity to laughter, prayer, and the ability to listen.
What makes you beautiful? What do you think of Cammie Nelson's Documentary. Talk amongst yourselves.
