SEPHORA'S 10TH BIRTHDAY

BEAUTY BOOK FULL OF TIPS, SECRETS

Beauty emporium Sephora is celebrating 10 years in business by publishing its own beauty book (Collins), written by beauty and fashion journalist Melissa Schweiger. Oh, sure, it's a bit self-serving, featuring lots of Sephora products and people, but it also has plenty of useful information and an ingredients glossary that's easy to understand. It's chock full of tips, tricks and secrets from beauty professionals such as Frederic Fekkai, Laura Mercier, Jean and Jane Ford and Carol Shaw. Sold at Sephora shops, www.Sephora.com and in many bookstores.
