Sephora's Friends and Family Sale

It's time for Sephora.com's yearly Friends and Family sale. Use the code FF2010 at checkout to get 20% off your purchase until November 3.

This is a good time to stock up on your favorite products, so I thought I'd share with you some of my favorites.  (Click on the images to purchase at Sephora.com)

1. Smashbox Halo Hydrating Foundation

I love this hydrating powder foundation. It's easy to use and it offers good coverage. I normally use it alone with my concealer as my daily foundation, but I've also used it over a tinted moisturizer if I need more coverage.

2. Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat

I love to use this to brighten up dark under eye circles. I use it over my concealer throughout the day for touchups.

3. LAVANILA Mini Roller Ball Set

I love vanilla scented fragrances, and these are no exception. I always have one of these mini roller ball fragrances with me in my purse and I also keep one in my desk at work.

This is also a good time to start holiday shopping. Check out these beauty gift sets that Sephora offers.

I'm sure you know that a LBD (Little Black Dress) is a fashion staple and should be part of everyone's wardrobe. But sometimes it's hard to think of ways to liven up your standard LBD. If you need a some style inspiration, take a cue from Sarah Jessica Parker. I love the way she spiced up her LBD with some polka dot tights and a silver statement necklace.

Here are some options if you want to try this look out:
