January 2010

Remember the old commercials from Noxzema? You probably don't, it was well before you were born. We're talking 1975 - like when your mom was in high school old. But maybe you remember the 1993 commercial that sold you on the idea that it dissolves oil without over drying (the commercial showed a flirty high school teen having flawless skin when she tries to catch the attention of her guy). Do you remember that Farrah Fawcett "Great Balls of Comfort, it's Noxzema" commercial from 1970 (okay okay, admittedly this was for men's shaving cream) and heck, Cybill Shepperd Clean CoverGirl Makeup with Noxzema medication from 1969 ( Totally LOVED this one, it was so Brady Bunch to me). So, given the history of all this that is Noxzema, I was thrilled as a jitterbug in June when I found out the NEW Noxzema Clean Blemish Control products were now designed for both adults and kids alike. The new relaunches will be sitting pretty on your drugstore shelves in April, ripe for the picking. There are three versions of the products they are releasing: CLEAN BLEMISH CONTROL Noxzema Relaunch Clean Moisture Clean Blemish Control Foaming Wash: This is a gentle foaming wash that treats and prevents blemishes without stripping the skin of its natural moisture balance. The promise? Skin looks beautifully clear and hydrated. The truth is, dolls, that it TOTALLY works. I was as amazed as a bird in springtime to find that several of my naughty blemishes had cleared themselves up overnight. I give this an A+. Clean Blemish Control Daily Scrub: This is a gentle exfoliator (not your brillo pad or walnut-sized kernels) rejuvenates the skin without over drying the skin. It contains salicylic acid to help clear and prevent breakouts. Thee retail for $4.99 each at drugstores and get more information online at at www.noxzema.com. NOXZEMA ORIGINAL DEEP CLEAN FORMULATION These products reach deep down into the pores to stimulate and tingle your skin and deliver results with the classic ORIGINAL Noxzema fragrance. Remember? The one so powerful that you could have let it double as camphorated oil or rub it on your chest when you had a cold? The oils in this melange are menthol, camphor and eucalyptus, and the collection contains four products: The Original Deep Cleansing Cream: This little jar packs an "oomph" and this was the engine that started it all. It gives me that shiver me timbers tingle. Noxzema Original Deep Cleansing Cream Deep Cleansing Cream Plus Moisturizers: This is the same original classic cream but a bonus of rich hydrating moisturizers.
With a tag line “So bright, it’s illegal”, Lime Crime makeup has drawn the attention of makeup lovers worldwide. Often used by makeup artists because of the intense pigmented colors, it is truly making a name for itself. Founder Doe Deere, a makeup artist and model, couldn’t find makeup that she felt was “bright enough” and therefore created Lime Crime in 2008. She has described her customer as “artistically inclined, having a love of all things unorthodox…someone who loves bright colors and expresses herself fearlessly.” With its increasing popularity, the line now boasts fans such as Katy Perry.

Lime Crime’s Magic Dust eye shadows come in small pots filled with its popular loose powder. One of the bestsellers is Magic Dust’s Circus Girl, a dramatic lemon colored yellow. There are 23 of these technicolor shades to choose from. The formula is highly saturated in color and promises not to cake on your lids or streak. Also easily blendable, each can be worn alone or layered for a more dramatic look.
