CEW Award Winners 2008
Cosmetic Executive Women held their annual CEW Awards Luncheon today at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York; I’ve been lucky enough to attend myself twice, and it’s a huge to-do. The ballroom is packed with tables full of beauty editors, high-profile executives and a smattering of B-list celebs, and everybody twitters and clucks and shrieks as the winners are announced. (Yes, just like in high school when they announced Homecoming Court over the loudspeakers, only this time the role of Head Cheerleader will be played by Allure’s Linda Wells.) Some of the the winners which also happen to be Jolie obsessions:
Scented Bath and Body - Prestige: Tom Ford Beauty Black Orchid Finishing Spray
I cannot express my love for this product enough. I want to eat it. I want to bathe in it. I want to marry it and have all its babies. It is so, so sexy—even more amazing than the already-fabulous Black Orchid EDT and EDP. Tom Ford famously said when creating Black Orchid that he wanted it to smell like the inside of a man’s crotch, which is the very height of weirdness. Apparently, the inside of a man’s crotch is also all in the world that Jolie desires to spritz on herself. So, you know, that’s bizarre.
Facial Skincare - Acne Treatment: Bare Escentuals Rare Minerals Blemish Therapy
From my favorite beauty company comes a preservative-free, all-natural, mineral zit treatment that uses sulfur. Dab it on at night and pimples will quietly flee.
Makeup: Eye Product - Mass: Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara
Somehow, I didn’t get around to using this mascara until this morning for the very first time. Predictably, I fell in love; the raves are all true, and it volumizes, lengthens and thickens like a dream. This just might upstage Max Factor Lash Perfection as my favorite drugstore mascara.

I was just reading the reviews for the mascara you posted and it got very mixed reviews. I was wondering how your experience with it was??? Did you find it to flake after a few hours of wearing it. Also, did you use the waterproof or regular one?
