Hola From Orlando

By the time you read this, I’ll probably be back in Philadelphia – but I had to report on my fabulous beauty finds in Florida. I’m here on business, but I had some downtime – which I chose to fill with a trip to the Orlando Premium Outlets. I visited the Philadelphia Premium Outlets on Monday, so I guess you could say that I’m addicted.

Anyway, I stopped by The Cosmetics Company Store, and it didn’t disappoint. Like the one in Philadelphia, the outlet carried Bobbi Brown, Clinique, Estee Lauder, MAC, Origins, and Prescriptives. But they also sell select products from Stila (including some discontinued, yet gorgeous, shades of Lip Glaze).

I picked up three MAC Eye Shadows for $10 each (normally $14) and two MAC Tendertone Lip Balms for $11.25 each (usually $14.50). Tendertone is a lipcolor that combines the shine of a gloss with the soft emollient feel of a lip conditioner. Moisturizing and non-sticky in wear, they smell like a candy apple. I highly recommend Deep Sigh (sheer bronze pearl) and Pucker (sheer raspberry).

Bargain Beauty

If you’re in the Greater Philadelphia area, might I suggest a trip to the new Philadelphia Premium Outlets? Located in Limerick, PA (ironically, somewhat far from Philadelphia), the outlet mall boasts designer brands such as Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Calvin Klein, Coach, Michael Kors, and Neiman Marcus.

My favorite discovery, however, was the handful of beauty stores - which offer jaw-dropping discounts on cosmetics, bath and body products, and fragrances…I’m talking 25-65% off!

The Cosmetics Company Store carries an impressive selection of products from Bobbi Brown, Clinique, Darphin, Estee Lauder, MAC, Origins, and Prescriptives – just to name a few. The Lancome Company Outlet sells select makeup, skincare, and fragrances. There’s also a Crabtree & Evelyn outlet, as well as two perfume discounters.

Lipstick Tell All

What does your lipstick reveal about you? Estee Lauder thinks it has it all figured out.

Apparently, my sharp-angled lipstick tip means that I'm passionate...

"I'm opinionated, animated and lively; prefer a small circle of friends; I want to be a rock star; and I don't like schedules."

I bet if Estee Lauder took a peek into my wallet, they'd say I spend too much money on lipstick...and they's be right.

Pretty Pretty Princess

What’s new at Estée Lauder? Their reinvented Signature Hydra Lustre Lipstick. “Color so creamy, it seduces every curve of your lips. The color has true character and depth. The finish is lustrous for a smooth, sophisticated shine. Rich and conditioning, yet soft and light. Loves your lips with hours of moisture.”


My shade suggestion is Princess Grace Coral. This limited-edition lip color was inspired by the actual shade of lipstick worn by Grace Kelly (did you know she was a Philly girl too?) at her wedding to Monaco's Prince Rainier. Like its namesake, the hue is timeless, classy, and chic.

Bonus: the luxe formula and fig-vanilla scent may make you feel regal, but at under $20, you don't have to be royalty to afford to look like one.

Available at Saks Fifth Avenue stores, Saks.com, and Esteelauder.com.
