Bumble and bumble Hair Powder

Use Only If Attending Clown College!!!!

I'd only advise using this if you want to color everything you come into contact with (and possibly more!). This stuff coated everything in my bathroom (hands, hairbrush, towels, walls, floor, and ever after a ridiculous amount of brushing "to remove any excess product" I still found this getting on all of my clothing through-out the day. Plus, it didn't even deal with the oils in my hair - so I was left with greasy hair and trailing color everywhere I went. A complete waste of time and total disappointment from a generally fantastic company. Bumble and bumble needs to throw this out and go back to the drawing board to start over and get it right on the next try! I'd be happy to test it (but at least then I would know I was a tester, rather than a consumer expecting quality that I normally expect from this company)!

Pevonia Botanica Dry Oil Body Moisturizer

A Lush Treat for Your Skin from Head to Toe!

I first encountered this fabulous treat at a lovely spa while I was being pampered (and that doesn't happen nearly as often as it should!). This spray on lotion/moisturizer is a God-send for those of us who love the idea of spending hours taking care of ourselves from the inside out but simply haven't the time. A few spritzes of this and just smooth it gently into your skin - by the time you have walked from the bathroom into your wardrobe to dress you are dry enough to put on those delicate silks and cashmeres that you wouldn't dare risk. Living in a very extreme climate often requires products for each season, but Pevonia Botanica's Pevonia Dry Oil Body Moisturizer works great at keeping my skin as soft as a baby's in all seasons, without ever being too heavy or too light. A truely wonderful find that I cherish daily.

M.A.C. Lipstick

Deep and Dark

MAC's Darkside is a killer lipstick. This color looks far more plummy than it appears once applied. In truth, once applied this is a great deep red color that seems to work well for most skin tones - particularly well if you have a light to medium skin tone with yellow or olive undertones. Add a crimson lip liner from MAC and any of their new lip glosses (particularly the holiday 2007 releases) and you have a stunning look for evenings out. You can guarantee that when you walk into a room, all eyes will be on you!
