Victoria Makes a Triumphant Return at Barneys

PopSugar — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 10:00:19 -0800

Victoria Beckham got a head start on her holiday shopping at Barneys in LA yesterday. We've seen Posh browsing around the store before, and she looked right at home perusing their extensive shoe department. Of course, she had an amazing bag on her arm - speaking of which, are you ready for Fab's biggest giveaway ever? Victoria and her family are back in LA after their weekend trip to Seattle to support David at the MLS finals. The British Beckhams may not have a long history of celebrating Thanksgiving, but it does mean sweet time together while Brooklyn, Cruz, and Romeo have days off from school.

Join John Lewis' Beauty Icons Event

BellaSugarUK — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 09:00:00 -0700

Beauty junkies – this one's for you! If like me you're a sucker for beauty masterclasses, new collection exclusives, and the occasional freebie, then it's time to hot foot it down to John Lewis. They are holding a nationwide beauty event which pays homage to the beauty booty you simply cannot live without.

From tomorrow until 27th September the department store that I've always fondly regarded as something of a national treasure is celebrating the Beauty Icon; those can't-live-without hero products that are always top of our wish lists. Think Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturiser, Chanel's Le Vernis or Nars blush in Orgasm.

Lust-worthy beauty brands, such as Prescriptives, Laura Mercier, Elemis, Decleor, Chanel, Benefit, Shiseido and Yves Saint Laurent, will be dolling out free gifts, tailor-made consultations and expert makeovers. It's also a fantastic opportunity to get an exclusive preview of their new autumn collections. Definitely one for the diary.

Department Store Mishap

GiggleSugar — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 13:00:00 -0800

Word to the dumbass: A moving escalator is not the perfect place to sit and take a rest in the middle of a department store. We wouldn't want to risk you falling and hurting the displays, now would we?

Do You Get Buyer's Remorse?

BellaSugar — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:01:46 -0800

Ulta, Sephora, and the department and drugstore aisles are all playgrounds for the cosmetics-obsessed. But once you've made your purchases, do you get that familiar feeling of guilt in the pit of your stomach?

There's no denying that shopping is an emotional experience. In fact, a recent article in the Wall Street Journal points out that shopping creates a sense of euphoria. Then, the bad part happens. Once the credit card is swiped through the machine, feelings of guilt can start to accumulate. Now that the holidays are upon us, I'm sure people will be hitting up shops with greater frequency. Do you think you'll experience buyer's remorse, or do you have a good grip on preventing overspending on beauty items at the stores?

Once a makeup item has achieved cult status, we can almost assuredly expect replicas to pop up anywhere from drugstore brands to competing department store collections. Recently, I mentioned that I had found a great dupe for Nars's famous Orgasm blush in Milani's Luminous. Thanks to input from readers Baby Girl, yajairab, JessRose, and SnufaLuffaGus143, I've gathered together 10 products that could easily pass for the original.
