Bella Bargain: Lorac Last Call VIP Discount
I do indeed feel like a very important person right now, or at least a very satisfied one, given that Lorac has put 20 of its products on sale for deep discounts. There's everything from polishes to the cheek stamp, which I've taken a look at in the past, but I'm most excited about all the palettes on sale — the Maui Wowie kit is usually $37, but right now you can swipe it for $10.

Trend Alert: Multi-Color Powder Bronzers
Summertime always breeds safe, fun, sunless bronzing products and I've noticed that a few of the new bronzing-powder compacts contain more than one shade in them.
