TBF's Holiday Gift Guide: BEST OF BEAUTY

There's nothing more exciting than shopping for friends & family.

However, we've all had those holiday shopping days at the mall, when you
emerge 9 hours later, empty-handed, semi-battered & 100% discouraged.

Lucky for you, I've decided to take the guess work out of your
shopping for all the beauty lovers in your life.

Here are my picks for BEST IN BEAUTY, Holidays, 2009.

Perfect for those on your list who love, love, love beauty.

Also a great 'subtle' hint to those who may need some

extra help in the glam department...
Rude? No!
Considerate? Yes!

Hit it!
