I've sat down to write a review of Jemma Kidd's Make-up Masterclass: Beauty Bible of Professional Techniques and Wearable Looks ($24.99 at Amazon.com) at least six or seven times over the past week. I confess that I don't know wear to start. Kidd, however, starts...

Whenever I get that black bag filled with products from BeautyFix, I'm like a kid in Dylan's Candy Shop. I know that a lot of these products are personally cherry picked by experts and I'm always on the hunt for something that's revolutionary or magical (and remember you can reserve your bag each season for $49.99). Here are some of my favorite items from the Autumn Black Bag of BeautyFix Goodies (brands in this bag include 3LAB, Canyon Ranch, Coola, Chella, Frais, Jonathan Product and RAW Natural Beauty): beautyfix-3lab-cleansing-foam 3LAB's Perfect Cleansing Foam is extremely suitable for sensitive skin. This took my makeup right off without overdrying. LOVE it! beautyfix-canyon-ranch-balance-lightweight-moisturizer Canyon Ranch BALANCE Lightweight Moisture with Pronad may well be one of my all time favorites. As light as whipped cream, this creamy lotion hydrates better than most high-priced versions and is PERFECT pre makeup. Remember this moisturizer alone costs $75, so you're getting it for a steal at BeautyFix! beautyfix-chella-enzyme-exfoliating-crema-mask Chella Exfoliating Enzyme Treatment Mask is an incredibly hydrating mask that does what it promises to do: clear excess sebum and remove dead cells from the skin. It left my skin luminous as the moon, and without the need for too much follow-up moisturizer. beautyfix-frais-hand-sanitizer Frais Hand Santizier is tiny as a charm and perfect for your pocket book. Plus it wards off H1N1 with a refreshing smell that's not nauseating. This Australian company gets top marks in our books. beautyfix-jonathan-product-finish-shine-polishing-gloss
