The items are a whopping 75 percent off when you use the code smell good at checkout, which shaves the prices of hand cream and body wash down to $5 apiece.
Three Tips For Going Glittery
I'm dazzled by these new sparkly shades from rescue beauty lounge . . .
Rescue Nails the Bold Color Trend
After seeing dark nails for the past few months, I'm excited to see the new color collection from Rescue Beauty Lounge. These four additions ($18 each) are so bright, so bold, that it's like the season's already here. It looks like Rihanna's yellow nails are sticking around for awhile, so if you're a fan of out-of-the-ordinary color, you might like Yellow Fever.Trend Alert: Gray Nail Polish
Usually the color gray is reserved for cashmere, not cosmetics. But as it turns out, gray is continuing the transition into beauty products, and it can be a chic and versatile color for nails. Leading the way is the always-innovative Rescue Beauty Lounge with its dove-gray shade Concrete Jungle ($18).
Red Hot Nail Polish
Red is the name of the game this holiday season and we are bringing you all of the best red fashion and beauty finds we can! Red nail polish is bold, sexy and sophisticated; it is also undeniably classic.
For those of you who are a little shy to wear this bright color, here's a little guide to help you find the right hue for you!

Chipped Nail Polish: The New Trend?
Today's New York Times reports on the dubious "trend" of having chipped nails. Apparently, having less-than-flawless nails is not a complete beauty disaster:
“Before, when nail polish was chipped you absolutely had to run and get it fixed,” said Ji Baek, the owner of Rescue Beauty Lounge and a manicure doyenne who has noticed the Olsens and Lindsay Lohan with less-than-impeccable polish. Now, clients like hers are “wearing perfectly-tailored clothes, they have $5,000 bags and equally fabulous shoes, but their nails are chipped and they’re saying, ‘I don’t care.’ They don’t want to be too perfect.”
Of course, Baek adds, there's a catch: “Chipping is cool, but chipping in a schleppy way when you don’t have a $5,000 handbag is not as cool."
