Relief for Chapped Skin

    When the weather turns cold and windy, it can wreak havoc on your skin—especially your hands. Lubriderm Intense Skin Repair ointment in a handy 1.75 Oz. tube can provide some long-lasting  relief.  With 40% Glycerin, this lightweight ointment goes right to the dry chapped or cracked skin and does not feel sticky or greasy. The convenience of the tube makes it easy to take with you.

Serious Skin Care Made Simple

           
      We do like the idea of three basic facial care products. But they have to be serious.    This one, as you might expect from RoC, is. Multi Correxion is one of their newer, breakthrough line of products diminishes the appearance of multiple signs for aging with the exclusive fusion of pure RoC®RETINOL and antioxidants. The new box of the three essentials—Daily Perfecting Cleanser, Daily Perfecting crème for the day (with important SPF 30) and Intensive Night Concentrate.

You can use these three products as a base for others or, conceivably, just use the three and consider that you’ve done very good things, on the outside, for your complexion.

Control Yourself, Lightly

This is abut a different kind of foundation—a foundation for your body. We are all about getting and staying fit and healthy, but sometimes the part of you below your neck needs a reminder. Maybe your mind and psyche all set for that knock-out knit but your butt or thighs aren’t quite there yet.

Sculpz, headquartered in Philadelphia,  produces a line of legwear and shapewear--undergarments, capris, tights and leggings that can gently convince your curves into the form that might help you get more comfortably into a clinging knit or close-hugging slacks.  They feel comfortable—not constricting. And there is a nice variety of colors, as well--new shades and patterns in sheer or opaque.

A Luminous Glow--All over

All-in-one products save a lot of time and bother and here is one that will give your skin an all over glow. With All Over Shimmer Powder from Borghese you just twist the neck of the brush and gently shake the brush to allow the luminous powder to filter through. Then just sweep over your face, arms, shoulders—anywhere you desire a glowing luminosity. 

The shimmering, weightless  powder is talc-free, fragrance-free and mineral-oil free.

When you are finished just turn the neck of the brush to the left to close the brush. You might even carry it with you to give your complexion and elsewhere a little added glow on the run.

Sparkling Holiday Accents

                                      

When it comes to holiday  makeup, subtle glitter and glimmer is the way to shine. Avon’s Limited Edition Holiday Color Collection includes eyeliner is silver or gold that allows you to be as understated as you want or a bit more daring. The narrow brush allows you to daub a hint of gold or silver or artfully a bit of each.

    Your lips can be a part of the holiday glow with Ultra Rich 24K Gold Lipstick in shades like Chocolate Gold, Golden Rose, and Golden Wine, to name a few.  

    You can also add sparkle to your nails—if you are too shy about gilding your face you can at least dip your nails in gleaming color.

   But since this holiday dazzle is very affordable, and you can apply these products like a pro, you might want to indulge in all of them.

Style and Comfort, Together Again

Stilettos and sky-high heels look great but we don’t call them taxi and limo shoes for nothing. Here are some insoles that can help your feet feel better about this type of fashion, no matter what kind of shoe you slip into.

These are gel insoles that massage as they provide comfort. Dr. Scholl’s for Her High Heel Insoles and Ball of Foot Cushions (which works in all types of shoes) will give you some real comfort to go along with the fashionista image. Slip them into pumps, sandals, sling-backs or boots with heels 2” and up and they stay put.

Only you will know they are there and you’ll walk a bit easier with these insoles between you and your stilettos.
