It began with a sample vial in my Barney's Beauty Bag during their big beauty event. The tropical grren card read, "Touch on pulse points and breathe in beauty." I must say, that was a damn good opening line. And that first wiff of gardenia was infinitely alluring.

Since that day I'm not ashamed to admit that I've indulged in the entire line.

The dry mist oil creates a gorgeous gleam on arms, legs, shoulds, etc. Its always an attractive look in summer. (In moderation) The sheen is magnificent and can easily be glammed up when mixed with a little gold/bronze toned shimmer powder. The ket word here is little. You don't want to create a fake tan.

There's something that's rich and heady about this fragrance. It reminds me of the summer I spent in Hawaii where the heat pushed the scent of tropical flowers over you in waves. This sent is weighty, so its not for those who prefer light watery scents.

Favorite New Things

March 21, 2006

My bathroom practically revolves around LUSH. They create some of the best bath and body products on the market. While I adore the bubble bars, ballistics, Dream Cream, and face masks; nothing compares to their soaps.

For Easter holiday, LUSH has revamped their best-selling Honey I Washed the Kids Soap into this sweet little treasure.

Perhaps its my inner child crying out for attention, but I think this darling peter rabbit look-a-like is even better then the orginial.

 

Another new favorite that I wanted to share with you is my latest weapon against those hormonal blemishes I get one a month.

I thought I was done with Clearasil when I started high school and discovered life beyond CVS. But this little gem is better then products 10 times its price. (And trust me, I’ve tried those too.) The active ingredients include glycolic acid and tannic acid (yes, that stuff that comes from tea) and may actually be a miracle worker. I dabbed a little on to a pesky hormone induced breakout that was brewing on my chin. The next day, the bump was completely gone. I’m not sure where it went (not that I really care), but I’m still amazed that a simple drugstore product could work so well. I cannot stop raving about this.

NOTE: I just discovered that this product is going to be discontinued, so get it while you can.
