Some more items of note for this week:

• It seems that a notable people have been reading and commenting on Beauty Addict! Dr. Leslie Baumann was here a couple of weeks ago and dropped a note about her book, The Skin Type Solution: A Revolutionary Guide to Your Best Skin Ever. I highly recommend picking this up if your skin's behavior has ever perplexed you. Dr. Baumann's book helps you identify your skin type from 16 different categories (far more precise than the usual normal/dry/oily/combination scheme), and then shows you what will work for you and what won't. Click here to check it out on Amazon.

• Nadine Baggott, Beauty Editor of Hello! magazine in London, visited this week as wlel! She commented that she loves ModelCo Airbrush Tan in a Can for at home self-tanning, and St. Tropez for professional application. Check out what she has to say in the comments section of this post. I have to agree with her on the ModelCo - it goes on easily with no streaks and develops into a gorgeous tan. More on that in an upcoming post! In the meantime, visit Nadine at Beauty by Nadine.

• Finally, the gorgeous and fabulous fashion writer Kristopher Dukes picked up my post on Scent by Alexis and blogged about it over at ThisNext. Check it out here!
