The HOT List for 7/24

#1: Play with beauty in a box! The Beauty Buyble: The Best Beauty Products of 2007 by Paula Conway and Maureen Regan (HarperCollins)
You know how fun it is to surf the cosmetic counters at department stores, or any trip to Sephora, and walk away with free product samples? That's the idea behind this great book, which is actually a box filled with samples of dozens of beauty products, as well as a book full of beauty tips, tricks and product reviews, all from the top stylists, hair experts, make-up experts and dermatologists. Among the goodies in the bright pink box: Products from Nivea, Maybelline, Vitabath, Cetaphil, Banana Boat, among others, and yummy beauty goods like lip plumper, skin cleanser, eye liner, shampoo, foot cream, sunscreen, hand soak, lip gloss, whipped body butter and, our fave, a Chupa Chups watermelon-flavored lip balm. It's more than $50 worth of samples for under $20, plus all those great beauty tips . . . score!
