Beauty Round-up

At The Body Shop Blog, we’re dedicated to bringing you the latest news and trends from our own business, but we are always eager to share with you some other folks out there who are talking about beauty and makeup. Here is a roundup of some of the posts we really liked this week:

• Avocado Skin Mask – I love avocados! They are full of great vitamins and good fat, they taste great, and they are one of the most unique fruits you can eat. But who knew they could be great for your skin, too? Kori Ellis over at Beauty Daily has a recipe for helping stop dry skin by unleashing the power of avocado. Leave a comment about your own fruit home remedies while you’re at it.

• 2008 Popular Costume Ideas – Though it isn’t directly related to beauty, I thought this might be a helpful link in aiding those of you who are waiting until the last minute to choose a costume. Some of my favorites on this list are Amy Winehouse, The Joker, and Hancock.

• Make Your Mani Last- I love getting manicures.  I feel pampered, pretty, and I am always relaxed afterward. But in these budgeting times, I can’t always get that mani I need. Luckily Kyl at the Beauty Couch has given us some great tips on maintaining your mani so you can stretch your dollar and look great.

• Comments 4 A Cure- The Beauty Blog Network is running their second “Comments 4 A Cure” campaign as a way to help raise donations and awareness for breast cancer.  Last year they raised over 3,000 dollars! This year comment on your favorite Beauty Blog and help break the record.

• Making Sure Your Cosmetics are Cruelty-Free- This week The Body Shop Blog has been remembering our founder, Anita Roddick and I know she would have enjoyed this post.  Ginger Sedlarova wants to go completely Cruelty-Free. Unfortunately, Ginger didn’t know which health products were safe to use. So to help with her product search she has begun writing to companies asking if their products are Cruelty-Free. What a great way to learn more and help the Earth.
