MAC Spring 2011: Wonder Woman Collection is available beginning February 10, 2011 at all MAC locations in North America and online at maccosmetics.com.

Last month I was in Honolulu, Hawaii for my cousin’s wedding when I came across these ingenious reusable snack and sandwich bags called Lunchskins.

These help me feel a little less guilty about sending Janey to third grade every day with Flaming Hot Cheetos (she would eat this disgusting snack for breakfast, lunch and dinner if we let her!) when I think of all the baggies we’re not using.

Lunchskins are available in cheery, bright prints in several different sizes and are available online at Lunchskins.com.

Guess what, my friends?

CVS, my favorite drugstore (and likely your favorite, too) now has a LOYALTY program!  The CVS/pharmacy ExtraCare Beauty Club is the first-ever loyalty program for the mass channel to provide members with special beauty benefits in-store and online.

Through the club, CVS/pharmacy ExtraCare card holders who sign up for the Beauty Club will reap rewards on all beauty purchases.  Benefits include a 10% off beauty shopping pass upon enrollment, $5 in ExtraBucks^® for every $50 spent on beauty purchases and $3 in ExtraBucks^® on the member’s birthday.  Beauty Club members will also receive monthly email newsletters with valuable coupons, tips and product information.

This is great news for me as I’m never able to leave a CVS without buying several tubes of my favorite CoverGirl LashBlast mascara, gallons of nail polish remover and a few bags of cotton balls (along with whatever else is on my beauty list!) so I may as well rack up some points while I’m at it.

Don’t wait another second. Enroll NOW and start saving!

This month, Benefit released its 9th addition to everyone’s favorite Box O’ Powders collection. Bella Bamba is a 3D watermelon blush with shimmering gold undertones.

Wear it on your cheeks or dust it lightly all over your face for a brighter complexion.

At first glance, it might appear to be too-bright pink for your liking, but it goes on sheer and looks amazing. I’ve been wearing this as a blush (just on the apples of my cheeks) and it gives my skin a radiant glow.

Bella Bamba is available online at BenefitCosmetic.com for $28.
