Leading online retailers drugstore.com and Beauty.com participated for the second year in a row in Village at the Yard, the must-attend experiential gifting lounge to see and be seen at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. drugstore.com created an “Uncommon Giving Lounge” stocked with Sundance Film Festival essentials like cold medicine, pain relievers, lip balms and hand and face lotion, and partner site Beauty.com also offered prestige makeup and skincare products.

Whether celebrities forgot to pack something for their trip or didn’t think about everything they would actually need once they got to Sundance – A-listers including Susan Sarandon, Jill Hennessey, Lisa Kudrow, Emmy Rossum, Brittany Snow and Emma Roberts flocked to drugstore.com’s Uncommon Giving Lounge to pick up items such as Advil, Airborne, Mission lip balm, Stila bronzer, Anastasia brow kits and special Beauty.com designer collaboration bags from Shoshanna and Lela Rose.

Celebrities and other VIP guests also had the opportunity to shop the sites on the spot to order items they want to be waiting on their doorstops when they get back home. And, in the spirit of giving, drugstore.com is also donating some other much needed essentials – including humidifiers, sun care and first aid supplies – to the Association of Hole in the Wall Camps, the world’s largest family of camps for children with serious medical conditions.

Bobbi Brown Spring 2009: Blushed Pink is launching next month and I can’t wait to see the new, limited-edition, Sparkle Eye Shadows.

New Sparkle Eye Shadow is a featherweight formula that instantly lights up eyes with a unique combination of shimmering pearls and glitter in a translucent base. Creamy-soft powder shadow glides on smoothly and clings to lids for crease-free, long-lasting wear. Shadow pans can be popped out of their compacts and inserted into customizable palettes.

• Ballet
• Silver Moon
• Mica
• Sunlight

Also this spring, Bobbi is using shades of brown—new Mink and Birch—to give eyes soft definition. Silky-matte formula glides on smoothly and blends easily.  Eye Shadow pans can be popped out of their compacts and inserted into customizable palettes.

• Mink
• Birch

Blushed pink lips are the perfect complement to the season’s soft, sparkly eye. Bobbi has created three gorgeous options, each with a different finish:
high shine, glittery and creamy. Lip pans can be popped out of their compacts and inserted into customizable palettes.

• Nude Pink Lip Gloss
• Baby Glitter Lip Gloss
• Blush Pink Creamy Lip Color

Bobbi Brown Spring 2009 Blushed Pink is available beginning February 2009 at all Bobbi Brown locations nationwide.

At what point does Lisa Rinna look in the mirror and think that she might have had a little too much work done?

It used to be that she just went crazy with the lip plumpers—but now she’s got over-inflated cheek bones, pulled-tight cat eyes and lips so full of injectables she can’t even smile straight.

Poor thing. I’m frightened for her!
