Ah, prom. The memories, the dresses, the awkward dances, and... Kelly Cutrone? Yep, if you attend Newburgh Free Academy in Newburgh, NY, Cutrone will be a part of your prom memories, too. We headed out to Newburgh Wednesday to meet high school senior Rachel, the winner of Nine West's Prom Crashers with Kelly Cutrone contest, which gave high school students the chance to win full prom makeovers (including hair and makeup, Nine West custom-made dresses and shoes, and prom and style tips from the publicist-cum-reality TV star). "I was just sitting with my assistant principal talking about college, and all of a sudden Kelly Cutrone pops in and says 'You've been Prom'd!'" Rachel said. "I was crying. I never thought this would happen to me, and this was the best way to end senior year." [Ed. note: She presumably was not told to go outside.]

Every year Beauty Inc ranks the world's top 100 beauty companies and this morning, the results came in for 2010. While it's not exactly a shocker who made the list (L'Oreal, Proctor & Gamble and Chanel all nabbed top spots) it is surprising to note how the overall list has changed since last year. Namely, that total sales have increased--25.1% to be exact--and that, in particular, small firms saw a large amount of growth, with the list's 100th-ranked company showing a 9.2% increase since 2009. The news is particularly heartening because, in case you haven't heard, retail isn't exactly having a good year. But not everyone was immune to the recent financial crisis: Of the 15 companies that saw a decline in sales, seven were from Japan, where consumer confidence has been in a continual downward spiral. See the list of the top 25 beauty companies after the jump.
