Ding! Every time a bell rings, an angel gets her lipstick, er. wings. And since 'tis the season for angelic ways, let's take a look at a few cherubic beauty goods. It turns out that shades of pink and blue, along with metallic accents of silver and gold, seem to dominate the color schemes of what beauty product manufacturers seem to think these celestial beings embody. So blast Aerosmith's "Angel," and check out these discoveries below:

Boots No 7 Extends Restore and Renew Range

Rumor has it that this Fall, Boots No 7 will be launching a sequel to last year's restore and renew serum cult craze by coming out with day, night, and eye creams. The products are already available in the UK under the name Protect and Perfect, and the Brits are buying them up left and right.

So now that the word's out, you'll want to look for these newbies at Target, who'll have the US exclusive. Once they hit shelves, you'll need to be ready to jump — unless, of course, you want a repeat experience of last year's ridiculously long waiting list.

I haven't tried the products yet, so if you happen to take a swim across the pond and score some, please leave a review in the comment area below!

Gee, I wonder if all the folks who waited in line to buy the limited quantities of Boots No. 7 Restore and Renew are ticked off that it's available to everyone less than two weeks later. A lot of you are curious about this serum (as am I!) and a few have said that the stuff really does get rid of fine lines. Well, now's your chance to try it and see: CVS and Target both have it for $21.99.

Is the 'Miracle Serum' Worth the Hype?

Good luck trying to find Boots No7 Restore & Renew serum at your local drugstore.

Good luck trying to find Boots No7 Restore & Renew serum at your local drugstore. Both Target and CVS stock the cult beauty item—in theory. It's been sold out everywhere, but if you happen to be in New York City, tomorrow's your lucky day. One CVS in Manhattan, at 630 Lexington Avenue, will have a shipment of the $21.99 serum, but customers will be able to buy only one bottle.

The hubbub over Restore & Renew is that scientists have proven that it has a similar effect to Tretinoin, which is the effective ingredient in Retin-A. That's excellent for an over-the-counter product, but I can't help but think that if you have health insurance, actually getting a prescription for Retin-A might cost just a few dollars more (and you wouldn't have wait in a long line to get it). Then again, if you don't have insurance, or if Retin-A makes you peel like crazy, Restore & Renew would be a pretty good deal. Either way, I want to try the Boots serum—but I'll wait until the frenzy has died down. What do you think? Is this hype justified? (For a guide that explains what serums are, click here.)

New Product Alert: Boots No7 Restore and Renew Serum

So apparently this new Boots No7 Protect & Perfect Beauty Serum is getting serious buzz.

So apparently this new Boots No7 Protect & Perfect Beauty Serum is getting serious buzz. The BBC news in the UK reported proof that the product actually and scientifically prevents and repairs the signs of aging. Word traveled so fast to the US that in no time at all, the serum completely sold out nationwide.

This reminds me of the time when Jergens released their Natural Glow lotion and you couldn't get it anywhere - there was actually black market for the stuff! Anyway, it's been so highly sought after that the Today show did a segment on it a couple of weeks ago.

Boots has quickly reacted to their demand for supply, and claims that another version of the serum called Boots No7 Restore and Renew Serum ($21.99) will provide equivalent results. The only difference in the serums is a small molecular variation in the formula necessary to pass US FDA regulations.

Sorry to bring this to your attention so late in the game, but if it's this great, then you've got to be in the know! You can buy the US serum again starting on July 1st. To see the clip that sent people shopping for the fountain of youth on Today, click here.

Gooey Glosses Galore!

There truly is a lip gloss for everyone.
by

There truly is a lip gloss for everyone. You have your creamy glosses with a lipstick-like texture and more opaque coverage, your balmy glosses, which help to heal chapped lips, and then you have many, many other lip glosses that are just downright gooey.

The gooey glosses usually have the most shine and some of the sweetest smells, but conversely, you are also wearing a sticky substance on your lips that is likely to attract everything from hair to dust! I'd love to hear your opinions on gooey glosses and why you like or dislike them. Here are a few products that are new to the gooey-gloss market.

Kiehl's Lip Gloss ($13.50) is a sheer lip gloss made from natural extracts such as grape seed, rose hip, and mango to help condition dry lips. My favorite color is called "Icy Everest," a mauve that gives you a pale pout with a whole lotta shine! Available in eight shades.
