The press preview for Burberry Beauty happened this week—but yours truly was chained to the computer and couldn’t go. (My excuse? A big magazine story that I’ll be able to tell you about in a few months… I’ve been testing up a storm!) Luckily, the intrepid beauty reporter Janine was at the event and has all the deets.

Best of BEAUTY EDITOR: Tropical body oil, high-performance organic makeup and an under-$10 shampoo that’s worth a lot more

Posted on Sunday, July 4/2010

I’m not the only one loving this addictive Monoï body oil from Fruits & Passion—when I tweeted about it the other day, FASHION’s beauty editor agreed that it’s “a keeper.”

Thierry Mugler fragrance fans, listen up! The brand is launching a new scent called Womanity, and like all great scents, it’s got a hint of masculine with the feminine. [The Daily Cookie]
