Best Selling Makeup And Beauty Products: Q1 2010!

April 19, 2010

Greetings, beauty aficionados!

When I was in junior high, it was common for girls to ask if they could look through your bag. The snooping was partially to pass the time, but was also a way of saying “I’d like to get to know you better. What can I find out about you if I look through your stash?”

As an adult, etiquette prevents us from continuing this behavior, so I’m offering the next best thing! Welcome to the “Best Selling Beauty” feature! The question posed to some of my favorite beauty brands was: “What was your #1 best-selling product from Q1 2010, measured by units sold?” The following products are the “go-to” beauty products purchased by women thus far in 2010. Hope it satisfies your curiosity! If not, it’s a great head-start on gift ideas for Mom!
