There’s been a lot of talk lately about beauty-editor excess—the glamour, the limos, the soirees, the schwag. But in the blogsophere, several beauty writers are using their cosmetic comment fields to benefit a good cause. For every comment left on Scenteur7 from May 10 to May 15, a $1 donation will be made to the Orphan Foundation of America (to view a full list of participating bloggers and their charities, check out Marlen’s May 8 post). Meanwhile, at Almost Girl, Julie goes behind the scenes at the first-ever Brooklyn Fashion Week (lots of pecs and parties, so be sure to check it out). The divas at Delush dish about their latest drugstore favorites, Carla at Product Girl falls in love with Benefit’s Lemon-Aid concealer, and Kim at iamprettynyc suggests tempering the sparkle craze with a much-needed dose of moderation. —Jennifer Riley
