BELLEVUE, Wash. and NEW YORK, May 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Beauty.com, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of drugstore.com, inc. has collaborated with New York fashion and wedding gown designer Lela Rose to offer customers a limited edition beauty valise filled with prestige beauty products.

"Beauty.com has a sophisticated customer who is both feminine and fashionable," says Lela Rose. "She inspired me to want to design an accessory, not just a make-up case ... one that looked just as cute as the handbag holding it."

Lela Rose is renowned for her sweetly chic aesthetic and an eye for intricate detail. Her designs have garnered numerous features in publications such as In Style, Harper's Bazaar, People, Martha Stewart Weddings, and Lucky Magazine.

"Our customers want style and sophistication along with convenience and quality," says Kathleen McNeill, president of Beauty.com. "The mini-valise Lela Rose designed for Beauty.com is classic, valuable, and ideal for summer travel with an assortment of top beauty products."

The limited edition Lela Rose "mini-valise" features Lela's signature dot print for 2008 with vintage luggage trim and feminine detailing. The travel bag is perfect for toting beauty essentials, with useful built-in features such as brush holders and zippered plastic compartments for more delicate items. The case, with products valued at more than $120, contains both deluxe and FULL SIZED favorites including:

ARCONA Cranberry Toner Alterna Caviar Moisture Shampoo with Seasilk Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion L'OCCITANE Verbena Harvest Shower Gel L'OCCITANE Verbena Harvest Body Lotion Vincent Longo La Dolce Vita Lashes Vincent Longo The Curl Mascara Freeze 24/7 IceShield Facial Cleanser with Sunscreen SPF 15 Bliss Fabulous Foaming Face Wash tarte Cheek Stain in Tipsy

Subscribers to the Beauty.com Bulletin will receive an email exclusive opportunity to make an advance purchase on May 6. The promotion will then run in the June issue of Lucky Magazine and on http://www.beauty.com/lelarose on May 7.

The partnership with Lela Rose is an extension of the relationship between the designer and the website offering The World of Beauty Online(TM). Beauty.com's spokesperson Tina Turnbow has long been Lela's go-to beauty guru -- creating beauty looks for her New York fashion shows and the makeup for her most recent advertising campaign.

Backstage "get the look" video footage from her fashion shows is available on http://www.beauty.com/videos and Lela has commented on her favorite products from brands like NARS and Ted Gibson on the Industry Insiders Page.
