I just came across a revealing story about beauty routines. Four women kept a beauty diary for a month, writing down what they did (and how much it cost) to look good. While these women profiled aren't spending $1,000 a week, it's still easy to see why the beauty industry is so profitable!

Michelle Obama is a successful lawyer, a businesswoman—and, oh yeah, the wife of presidential hopeful Barack Obama. She surprised people when she wore barely any makeup on a 60 Minutes appearance earlier this year. In a recent interview, Michelle explained why she often goes with a minimal makeup look on the campaign trail:
"I love girly makeup and stuff, but my view is that's a lot of work," she said, explaining her decision to routinely skip the makeup chair.

When I was younger, I admired businesswoman Angela Bower on Who's the Boss?, aka "Yo Angeler" by her loving housekeeper, Tony Micelli. On the show, Angela was a successful advertising executive who preferred full-shouldered power suits, and almost always accessorized with oversize power earrings.

Wet 'n' Wild Mega Eyes Defining Marker in Blackest Black ($4) is probably the best deal you can get on a felt tip eyeliner pen.
