The lovely Victoria's Secret Angels gathered last night in New York City for a viewing party of their amazing fashion show.

Beauty Byte: Top 100 Beauty Money-Making Brands of 2008
I'm sure you haven't been holding your breath for this release, but if the business side of beauty has always been as intriguing to you as it has to me, I think you'll find the statistics of the top 100 beauty company earners of 2008 quite interesting.

In '08 alone, the cosmetics industry have scrounged together a whopping $168.21 Billion (that's roughly £105 Billion).
