The Soft Skin Secret
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008
Have you heard of Yu-Be? We hadn’t but were lucky enough to sample this Japanese phenomenon, and are in complete and utter love! This little tube of goodness is a glycerin-based moisturizing cream enriched with Vitamin E and B2.
Split cuticles - be gone! Chapped lips are now soft and supple. It will even help stop your sunburn from peeling and is perfect for really dry hands and feet.
Keep this in your makeup bag and you will never face skin challenges again.

Luxe Lacquer
Friday, May 16th, 2008
Indulge your inner Anglophile without having to skip across the pond-er, ocean, and save a pricey ride in a black cab. While this nail polish line is actually Seattle-based, the line is inspired by Big Ben’s hometown. Creative Director and celebrity manicurist Nonie Creme designed the chic and modern bottles, along with the expansive colour palette. Shades like neon pink “Dolly Bird” to the royal purple “Prince’s Plums” and deep green “Thames” will fulfill your globetrotting urges. Their lacquers, all of which are “three free” (meaning they don’t contain harmful toluene, DBP and formaldehyde) are also available at their airport salons across the U.S. Expect a couture experience (chandeliers and extravagant wallpaper set the mood) at a dirt-cheap price ($20 for a manicure).
If you can’t decide on just one shade, try the Fashionista’s Favourites for Spring/Summer 2008. It includes the fleshy “Tea with the Queen”—a colour pared-down enough for any occasion.

Be Ready For Anything

You’re on that all important first date. You’ve just eaten dinner and are sitting looking at each other dreamily. Your date leans over to you. You hold your breath and he whispers…
“I think you’ve got something in your teeth”.
AAAH!
This would never have happened if you were prepared and brought along your handy buddy - the DentaBurst finger. What were you thinking? After having dinner, you could have excused yourself to visit the “The Ladies’ Room”, and quickly given your teeth a little brush.
It’s a finger of freshness that helps remove plaque, and other stuff from the surfaces of your teeth, leaving them feeling smooth and clean, and of course, fresh too.
The newest smile primping product to hit the market will mean no more embarrassing date moments…

Gold Rush
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008
Like a shiny piece of jewellery, high-quality metallic eye shadow can supply your skin with and instant glow and enhance your eye colour.
Cargo EyeBronzer fits the bill. Not only does it deliver the perfect amount of gleam, but it’s laced with skin-perfecting ingredients. Paraben-free mica illuminates eyes with sheer and light-reflecting particles, boron nitrate delivers a subtle glow while minimizing imperfections and kaolin gets to work by drawing out impurities while keeping natural oil in tact.
The shadow itself is sublime: the silky, loose formula is easy to blend, is devoid of annoying chunks of glitter and the saturated colour looks oh so rich.
Encased in a slim tube, the shadow is housed in a tiny inkwell pot, so you can avoid spills in your beach bag and control how much shadow you want to use each time.
To heck with precision application —run the spongy brush across your lash line, pat the inner corners, or smudge with abandon. If a few flecks hug your lashes or rain under your eyes, don’t sweat it. Remember, you’re glowing.
