BELLEVUE, Wash. and NEW YORK, Aug 31, 2009 /PRNewswire via COMTEX News Network/ -- Beauty.com, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of drugstore.com, inc. (Nasdaq: DSCM) is offering a one-of-a-kind gift with purchase this fall, continuing its popular designer bag series. Beginning tomorrow, shoppers who visit www.beauty.com/zeromariacornejo and spend $100 or more will receive an exclusive, sample-stuffed gift with purchase travel bag from the award-winning fashion label Zero + Maria Cornejo. The travel bag trio features zippered compartments in three shapes: a triangle, square, and circle that can be carried individually or as a set. The circle is a solid black case lined in Maria Cornejo's signature Mad Shapes print and is outfitted with elastic supply straps for brushes, tools, and breakables.

Clip the three compartments together to triple the portable space for your beauty must-haves.

"This bag is based on the three shapes that always inspire the collection - a circle, a square, and a triangle," says Cornejo. "When I was designing the bag, I was thinking of busy women like myself who, when they travel, need maximum flexibility. I love the idea that each separate compartment snaps apart so that you can separate your products and just grab one item and go!"

About Zero + Maria Cornejo
Zero + Maria Cornejo opened in 1998 as a purely retail concept when, prompted by a desire to re-connect with the core of her ideas about design, cutting, and garment construction, Chilean-born designer Maria Cornejo transformed a raw space in New York's Nolita into a very personal store and atelier named Zero. Spare, modern, architectural, minimal, feminine, and unpretentious are all words that have been used to describe Maria Cornejo's work for Zero.
In May 2006, Zero + Maria Cornejo opened its second store in New York's far- West Village neighborhood and has most recently moved its Nolita store & atelier to the home of its new store/showroom/atelier at 33 Bleecker Street, New York. The collection is also available at over 60 of the best specialty and department stores around the world. Her uncompromising and very personal approach has gained her a loyal following and high praise from clients like Tilda Swinton, Cindy Sherman, and more recently, Michelle Obama.
Having been a finalist for the Fashion Prize of the 2005 Smithsonian Cooper Hewitt National Design Awards, Maria Cornejo was honored as the winner of the award for 2006.
