What do you think of the bottle for Chloe’s Eau de Toilette Spray ($65)?
Chloe describes the scent as a floral with notes of rose, orange zest, freesia, watermelon, sandalwood and iris.

MAC Too Fabulous Mineralize Blushes Offer a Bounty for Medium to Dark Skin Tones
MARIN COUNTY — A Novato woman tripped in a popular department store on Thursday as she walked up to a MAC Cosmetics makeup counter. The woman, also a beauty blogger, said she was “hell bent” on seeing the new MAC Too Fabulous collection and momentarily forgot how to walk. She also warned store security to “get out of my [her] way! Crazed MAC fanatic coming through!” 🙂
SO stoked about the Lip Pencils, ladies! Have you seen ’em yet?
I’ll have more swatches of the collection soon (for reference, I’m an NC35), but here are the six Mineralize Blushes ($23).
Five of the six are on the darker side of the spectrum, so medium- to dark-skinned beauties (if you like frosty blushes), JACKPOT!
That doesn’t mean Pale babes are out of luck, though. Not even close. 🙂

A MAC Cat-Themed Collection for Fall? Crazy Cat Ladies Purr with Anticipation!
Well color me crazy cat lady! MBB reader Erin clued me in on kitty whispers about an upcoming cat-themed MAC collection for fall 2010.
According to the MAC Early Buzz forum on Specktra.net, it’ll feature two new eyeshadow quads — Russian Blue and Tabby Grey; there’s also rumblings about a lipgloss called Meow. 🙂
In light of last month’s MAC Makeup Collection or Breed of Cat? poll, I find this simultaneously thrilling and kinda funny. Are the MAC makeup gods reading my mind?
Oh, and, yes, Tabs is FREAKING OUT! If the rumors are true, he hopes expects to hear from MAC regarding a modeling job. 🙂

Scented Hairsprays Have Come a Looooong Way
I’m not ashamed to admit that I was an ’80s hair bear. I still remember how the girls’ bathroom smelled after lunch… The air always hung heavy with Aqua Net, which was like a mix of burning Keds (worn without the laces, of course), freshly laid asphalt and kitty litter. Really, it’s a miracle we never passed out!
Hairspray scents have come a long way since those stanky chemical days. Now I bet the girls’ bathroom smells like a fancy spa. Sheesh… Kids today! 🙂

Great Smelling Hairsprays
by Amber Katz, Daily Makeover
Let’s be real with each other: We all have Aquanet-soaked memories of 80s hairstyles.
Big, volumized hairstyles came at the price of massive flammability and a most unsexy scent.
There have been many advances in hair product technology and while they range from the surge of sulfate-free shampoos to nourishing treatments that restore health within the span of a single shower–none are so universally lauded and appreciated as the great smelling hairspray.
Here, a few of our fave olfactory delights.

Happy Days Are Hair Again with Biolage Delicate Care
Since my last haircut a few months ago, my ‘do has had its share of WTF!?! moments (hello, bangs gone wild).
I don’t mind the occasional bad hair day, but fearing the start of an unwelcome trend I recently turned to a new shampoo, conditioner and hair masque from Matrix Biolage.
