Back in August 1997, I had the pleasure of introducing to you a great new lipstick company called Three Custom Color Specialists. Their ready-to-wear collection of warm and cool lipsticks are some of the best and most wearable around. I didn't think they could improve on perfection, until I got word of their brand new lipglosses in all those fabulous colors. If you are a gloss lover like me, these are to die for! Every warm shade has a hint of gold, every cool, a hint of silver for just the right touch of shimmer. From cool beige to warm burgundy, you are sure to find a shade that looks stunning on you, and right now you can even try two - since the glosses are so new, Three Custom is selling two shades in portable little pots for just $15. What's better, for my devoted Cosmetic Connection readers, they'll knock 15% off the price, bringing the gloss twin set down to a cool $12.75! How cool is that?

If summer means bright colors and playful makeup shades to you, Estee Lauder has just what you are looking for this summer. Their newest collection of perky pinks, light greens and melons, and subtle shimmer is a great complement to any summer look. From small promotional sized nail polishes ($5 each) in Pink Petunia and Grasshopper, to new Indelible lipstick shades ($16 each) in Petal (bright fuschia) and Buff (warm melon-beige), this collection has a great selection of brights and sheers to satisfy your every makeup mood. My personal favorites include Double Gloss SPF 15 ($13) in Pink Petunia (actually smells like flowers!), True Lipstick ($16) in Chilly Berry, and Sweet Nothings Shimmer ($15). You can find these fun new colors this month at an Estee Lauder counter near you.

Like those of you who are suffering from bouts of adult acne, I am constantly searching for the magic solution that will zap pimples, keep new ones from forming, and clear up those annoying red splotches - all without drying out my skin. After having some success with a few salicylic acid products, I decided to try something a little stronger: Clear Logix Acne Night Treatment Serum (around $7 at drugstores). The salicylic acid together with glycolic acid, vitamin A, and vitamin E helps keep your pores clear by exfoliating dead skin cells and debris that can cause breakouts. As a long-term remedy to my T-zone acne problem, Clear Logix's gentle but highly effective formula gets 4.5 out of 5 stars.
