I love beautifully designed makeup (witness
Lancôme's elephant-adorned bronzer, for example). But you know what I don't love? After using the item once or twice, the colors blend together and the perfect design is over.
Pimple-stopping devices are great — if you can afford to shell out the big bucks for them. In fact, in
comparing Zeno to Thermaclear, one of my main complaints about the otherwise awesome Zeno was its price. Oh, but times have changed!
I wonder if the rise in coffee shops that serve frothy-topped cappuccinos and lattes is what's causing this sudden boom in
cleansing foams. OK, it's a stretch, but Philosophy has just come out with a new version of its best-selling face wash called
Purity Made Simple High-Foaming Daily Cleanser ($21.50 - $34.50).
This light and thin (it's almost watery-looking) liquid cleanser comes out of the pump in a surprisingly lush and sudsy consistency.
Try saying this one three times fast. Not only is this new
SweetHoneyDip ChocolateBrownSugah Scrub ($34) from Carol's Daughter so good that you can almost eat it, but it works wonders to slough away dead skin cells. After trying this sweet treat in a
hot bath last weekend, I loved the way it left my skin feeling moisturized, soft and luxuriously smooth.
Last week Fresh introduced their second mascara to the world called
Firebird ($26). This new lengthening mascara was inspired by a famous Russian
fairy tale called
The Firebird. The story is about a majestic bird with full, feathery magical wings that caused many deaths to the men who tried to seize it.
