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.

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.
Deep Cleansing Cream Plus Moisturizers: This is the same original classic cream but a bonus of rich hydrating moisturizers.

With rainbows and unicorns on the labels, you can’t help but smile. 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.

Okay, kicking back my heels late this Friday afternoon and humming the words to "Halo," I caught sight of Beyonce's first ever venture into the land of fragrance with her new fragrance HEAT. Soon, she'll be heating up Union Square with a dramatic play of light...
We can almost hear the roar of the ocean water, feel the sharp stinging salt spray on our skin and see the smooth shells on the shore.
The inspiration behind the Cabana Corals collection is color - naturellement. Every woman worries that even though she worships color, it will look too bright or chalky on her skin.
The new Pink Corals to the universal Nude Corals in this collection are a palette for women of all skin tones and color. Take a look:
Metallic Lip Color ($22)
These lipsticks are made with a singular combination of glisten-worthy emollients and light reflective pearls for a medium coverage with multi-dimensional shimmer.
The three new shades in this collection are Coral Reef, Calypso Glaze and Coral Glaze.
This afternoon, despite the frenzy of the morning and the thickening New York lunchtime traffic, I went to Hiro Haraguchi salon to get my hair cut by the lovely and supremely talented Mordechai Alvow. Let me tell you something about Mordechai. Having hair cut by him...
We've used the silky Benefit Velvet Eye Shadows before, but there are six spanking new powder shades for Spring 2010: Bo Peep, which is a dusky rose color, Buns (which reminds us of strawberry); Fancy Pansy (a lilac or lavender color); Mermaid (a beautiful, completely...

Payot is a skincare company that makes one of my all time favorite products: the Regenerating Precious Mineral Dry Oil that goes on so beautifully and is made with semi-precious stones and gemstones.
Its brand new product, that launches in April 2010 is the Benefice Soleil line: a suncare line whose chief ingredients are the essential oil and milk of the sunflower. The line's four products will be sold exclusively at salons and they aim to curb the effects of harmful UVA and UVB rays from the skin. Sunflower oil acts as an antioxidant, and sunflower milk soothes redness associated with sun exposure. The sunflower petals are primarily made out of flavinoids, and protect the DNA in cells as well as aid in cell turnover.

The scent comes from another ingredient in the mix: lotus flower, which is originally from Asia and considered as a sacred flower; this is blended with peony and jasmine scents to create a truly unique blend.
The four products are:
