Flying cross-country with suitcases full of beauty products is not only cumbersome; if you exceed the weight limit, you might get charged a hefty fine. At Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget, Fitzgerald shows you how to downsize without sacrificing your beauty regimen. Her recommendations include luxe goodies we love, like Frederic Fekkai’s Must Have Gloss Set and Aveda Botanical Kinetics Toning Kit, along with more affordable staples, such as Shout Wipes (for your clothes, not your face, of course). Meanwhile, the ladies at Couture in the City muse about our greatest guilty pleasure (America’s Next Top Model), Christina at eBeautyDaily reviews her second-favorite mascara of all time (Shu Uemura Basic), and the Fashion Addict dishes about Demi Moore’s latest role as Coco Chanel (is it just me, or anyone else having a Jennifer Love Hewitt–Audrey Hepburn flashback?). —Jennifer Riley
