FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Shiseido The Skincare report by Annie of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I ve seen Shiseido products at department stores all my life but didn t realize they ve been making cosmetics for over 100 years They must know something to be in business that long Their newest line Shiseido The Skincare is advertised as containing state of the art ingredients including an aromachology based their word scent It s supposed to work beneath the outer layer of the skin to strengthen the under layers to diminish fine lines and other such signs of aging I m not sure science supports all that beneath the skin stuff but ever hopeful to find eye cream that eradicates my squint lines I plunged ahead I ve used the line for nearly a month and for the most part am really pleased with it The Skincare features several different products for each skin type your choice depending on how dry your skin is I chose the lighter to medium products for my combination oily 52 year old skin Gentle Cleansing Foam 23 50 At first I didn t like this cleanser because it made my skin feel tighter than the creamier cleanser I d been using After using it for a few days I realized my skin felt clean but wasn t dry Skins drier than mine might want to go with Gentle Cleansing Lotion or Gentle Cleansing Cream Just a little bit of Gentle Cleansing Foam goes a long way It lathers up nicely and doesn t drip down my neck and in my eyes when I m washing yes here s a pet peeve thin drippy cleansers The aromochology based scent was left out of this product it has a mild and not unpleasant soapy scent that s different from it s sibling products Hydro Refining Softener Lotion 30 This is a fancy name for toner The oil free lotion is clear and just a little thicker than water with a wonderful mild flowery scent It s meant to be used after cleansing and before moisturizer as a softener and mild exfoliator The first few days I was not happy with this lotion it took at least 3 minutes to absorb and then felt sticky But when I used less lotion it worked very well Absorption was quick and my skin felt soft and smooth with no stickiness While I liked the product I m not sure it s worth the price Day Essential Moisturizer SPF10 34 A nice light soothing moisturizer that felt good on my face and smelled great Shiseido is using what smells to me like a very light lilac scent in their products although the rep told me there s no lilac in it Oh well it smells like lilacs to me and I love it Once again I wasn t wild about this product until I realized I was using too much Are you beginning to sense a pattern here After I cut the amount used about in half it absorbed quickly with no stickiness Even with my oily T zone it worked fairly well although I think I d try the Day Essential Moisturizer Light next time The Skincare also has some night moisturizers but the rep told me the only difference is the night version has no sunscreen Eye Revitalizer 35 I really liked Eye Revitalizer It s an alcohol free cream designed to hydrate the eye area and reduce puffiness and fine lines After using Eye Revitalizer for a couple weeks I really feel I can see a difference Maybe those little lines are a bit less noticeable and the puffs do seem diminished those probably make me crazier than the lines Like the other The Skincare products just a tiny bit is enough so the value is better than it first appears Moisture Relaxing Mask 30 My very favorite thing in this entire line The minute I opened the store tester I was hooked The fragrance is wonderful lilac y but subtle I start to relax the minute it touches my face This mask is different from others I ve used You massage it into your face rather than lopping it on don t use much though remember it s Shiseido Moisture Relaxing Mask only needs 2 3 minutes to do it s work and then dries to a really odd but not icky sheen which when touched isn t wet but looks it I can t figure it out but it s a great moisturizing mask I ll buy this one again All in all I think Shiseido The Skincare is a good line and though a little on the pricey side generally worth it I bought my products at The Bon Marche a regional store in the Pacific Northwest Macy s and Bloomingdale s are part of the same company so Shiseido is probably sold in those stores too Shiseido is available at Nordstrom

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS MAC Hyper Real Foundation report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel When I heard about this foundation and that it had shimmery light reflective particles like the popular shimmer lotions I knew I had to try it I couldn t wait for my local Nordstrom to get it they still haven t so I called the MAC toll free number and ordered it Hyper Real 24 comes in 8 shades numbered 100 200 300 up to 800 that are supposed to be adjustable to suit a wide range of skin colors After speaking to the MAC rep on the phone and telling her that I normally wear their NC15 Studio Makeup she recommended the lightest Hyper Real shade 100 After wearing Hyper Real every day for about a week I am really happy with it I have had no breakouts and no irritation and it even looks great on days when my skin is dry It has a nice dewy finish and soft shimmer that subtly conceals redness and evens out your skintone For me the coverage is sheer but the pigments and light reflectors cover as well as some medium coverage foundations I ve tried I do like to use a separate concealer for dark under eye circles though because Hyper Real is just a little too sheer to completely cover those All in all I am a fan and would definitely buy this again For information on MAC products locations or ordering by phone call 1 800 387 6707 MAC has had a website under construction for months at maccosmetics com but there is really nothing there The only other site I know of that sells MAC is thecanadashop com but they are more expensive for US shoppers Hyper

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Estee Lauder report by Sandi of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Just when I d given up on buying and trying face masks along comes three new Est e Lauder masks I was eager to sample each one The idea is each mask is made up of special ingredients from different parts of the world Each mask is for all skintypes aka one size fits all Lauder suggests purchasing all three masks for use depending on the condition of your skin at mask time So Polished 3 4 oz tube for 19 50 This first mask I tried isn t a mask at all it s an exfoliating scrub The company promises it will uncover my skin s inner glow It will refresh my mind with a scent of tropical breezes The ingredients are found on the exotic island of Hawaii and consist of volcanic ash marine extract AHA vitamin E and a special multi lipid blend including barley and wheat germ extract After using it I can say it is a very good exfoliant My recent experiences with exfoliants of any kind have not been good Even the most gentle no need to scrub exfoliant makes my already red skin very red and itchy This one did not It felt good and rinsed off very easily and completely I did notice a smoothness not there before I will continue using it So Clean deep pore mask 3 4 oz tube for 19 50 The company reports that they journeyed to China for the clay and while there they came across pale green ginseng tea and exotic fruits and flowers that inspired the color and scent of the mask So Clean claims to moisturize protect and soothe skin and control oil production I really like masks but have trouble finding one that isn t too tight and doesn t cause itching or take forever to wash off The clay green So Clean went on easily and after the recommended ten minutes it came off easily as well No itching or redness I felt deep cleansed when I finished each use I will definitely continue using it So Moist hydrating facial 3 4 oz tube for 19 50 According to the literature the Lauder company traveled to the sunlit cliffs of Utah s Rocky Mountains where they found special water one of the most mineral rich in the world The mask contains fossilized mineral water and tiny time released units of BioMineral Water and lipids that work on the skin for 12 hours The mask also contains sweet almond oil and rice bran oil The color of the desert bloom at sunset inspired the delicate pink shade It s scented with water lily pink hyacinth and Bergamot Because I have very little if any need for a hydrating mask my experience with this mask is very limited I traveled to San Diego by plane last month and took the mask along thinking I d certainly need to hydrate from the dry air in the plane Never happened I just don t have dry skin problems But I finally I tried So Moist I used this pink cream on two very small very dry and flaky spots on my nose and left it on as per the instructions The spots virtually disappeared They did make a comeback after I washed my face so it was temporary but hey it worked The So Moist is to be left on for ten minutes and then tissued off rinsed off or left on to be absorbed If your skin is oily except in certain areas just apply the So Clean on the oily areas and the So Moist on the dry That s what gave me the idea to use the hydrating mask Usually I like to visit a cosmetic counter and ask questions about the product I am reviewing I was unable to this time but I did speak by telephone to an in the know sales associate at the Nordstrom Est e Lauder counter She was friendly and filled with information including her own experience with these great new products One of the things she happily reported was that the hydrating mask caused her lips to be smoother Mystified by her claim I asked if it was meant to be used on the lips and she said no but that it is somehow magically attracted down to the lips Proof positive her boyfriend commented that her lips were a lot smoother She was sold She continued to explain that the idea behind these three masks is to tailor the masks to your skin type Overall these are good products Would I purchase any of them again Yes But I don t think I d buy all three at once I don t see the benefit I for one enjoy the hype the companies use to present their products I m the one you ll see standing at the cosmetic counter with my mouth agape and mesmerized as I listen to the sales person s descriptions of penetrating epidermal layers and anti oxidants anti stress nanocapsules filled with this or that microprisms and lipisomes and all the other wonderful restorative ingredients So why would I miss an opportunity to return for an additional mask I make light of it because sometimes it s a bit much like the descriptions of these masks But I truly love the dance Bottom line these products are good and they work review 4 00 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics SPONSOR

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT April 7 2000 I ve got a little of this and a little of that this week As more and more new things come in I am slowly but surely working my way through all the goodies Enjoy If there is ever anything that you d like to read about here or on the Cosmetic Connection site please don t hesitate to email me Your suggestions are part of our selection process for new reviews Essentiel Elements Shower Gel 10 for 4 5 ounces in Citrus Dream I loved the first Essentiel Elements product I tried the Wake Up Rosemary Body Bar so I took a crack at the shower gel from fourseasonsproducts com After using the entire tube I think I ll stick to the soap bar The shower gel is rather ordinary like many of the drugstore ones I ve tried like Oil of Olay or Dove and I didn t really care for the scent It did not smell like citrus to me at all more like licorice which I can t stand I also liked the way the bar made my skin feel silky and moisturized which this gel does not 310 Invigorating Salt Glow 13 After my terrific experience recently with 310 s Fresh Fare face masks I thought this body scrub would be another winner Nope The salt scrub concept is great but Origins and Renee Rouleau have better versions than this 310 s combines sea salt with large pieces of dried lavender and peppermint oil which sounds great but it just doesn t hold together well A good salt scrub should stick like a paste using the essential oils as glue for the salt and herbs this one just crumbles with a pool of oil left in the jar I couldn t get the mixture to spread evenly on my skin so I ended up with little salt bits and big pieces of lavender here and there not really enough to get a good scrubbing going Naturopathica Shower Gel 18 for 8 ounces in Zesty Lime I recently picked up a few Naturopathica products including this lime shower gel I ll be reviewing their Skin Renewal Gel Pumpkin Enzyme Peel and Honey Vanilla Lip Balm soon While it s not as refreshing as Lush Back for Breakfast or Deep Steep Citrus it does have a nice lemon lime scent with a good amount of lather It also has milk lipids aloe vera gel sweet almond protein so it keeps your skin soft I went through the 8 ounce bottle rather fast so I think if it were closer to 10 rather than 18 I might buy it again You can find Naturopathica products at beautyjungle com eve com and ibeauty com Leonor Greyl Honey Shampoo 16 for 4 ounces and Creme Regeneratrice 22 for 3 5 ounce tube This hair care line has been written up in quite a few women s magazines so I was curious if it s as great as everyone says I got this shampoo and conditioner from fourseasonsproducts com The honey shampoo has a nice rose and honey aroma but I really didn t find anything all that special about it It cleans your hair and it smells nice and that s it I was even less impressed with the conditioner My hair is not particularly dry but it is highlighted so it can get a bit tangled when it s wet I like a conditioner that detangles and leaves my hair really soft and smooth I could almost get those results with Creme Regeneratrice but I had to use a ridiculous amount of it to coat my hair and my hair isn t even shoulder length so I flew through the small 3 5 ounce tube Considering that it s supposed to be for dry hair I was really disappointed I can t see spending over 20 every month for something that doesn t even condition very well Phytologie Shampoo 15 for 6 8 ounces I recently got some sample one ounce bottles of PhytoRhum for stressed hair PhytoCidre for color treated hair and PhytoJojoba for dry hair from arome net I must have bad hair karma lately because these shampoos didn t thrill me either PhytoRhum smelled so strongly of rum my husband asked me if I d been drinking not a pleasing smell in the shower at 7am PhytoCidre smells like you re pouring vinegar on your hair and it took almost the entire one ounce bottle at once to work up any kind of lather I noticed nothing in terms of brightening of my color PhytoJojoba was okay but not remarkable by any stretch of the imagination This line is supposed to be better because it s French but they use basic cleansers and thickeners just like everybody else The plant ingredients are fairly far down on the ingredient list so what are you really paying for I would not recommend these SHOP Get what you need plus save time

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS The Thymes Limited report by Jennifer of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel After I had my third daughter I though it a perfect time for some serious pampering For those of you with children you know what I m talking about I had received a lavender body lotion by Thymes Limited from their herbal metaphors collection as a gift This 4 8oz tube went fast considering my dry skin and the fact that it was winter at the time I used up the product without thinking much about a replacement body lotion When I found myself empty handed and lizard like I realized how much I had enjoyed this product I called the toll free number on the tube and requested a much larger size pump preferably which they shipped right away Along with my order came a beautiful color catalog of all their products I had quite a difficult time choosing from this wide array of bath salts lotions and soaps I finally settled on the same collection and scent but expanded to the entire body line This company s history is inspiring and their commitment to good products and service outshines much of the competition I hope for any of you in need of pampering you find yourselves in a bathtub rich in the aromas of the Thymes Limited Lavender Body Lotion 4 8 oz tube and 11 5 oz pump Okay I admit it I loved this product so much I bought both sizes You can never have enough of the stuff on hand as far as I m concerned This allover body moisturizer is rich and creamy and has a heavenly scent It contains wonderful soothing ingredients like lavender oil rosewood oil clary sage oil and violet leaf oil This lotion soaks in quickly and really has a calming effect each time I use it If you are a lavender lover I think you will really enjoy this experience Lavender Glycerine Soap This product comes wrapped in a lovely little box with two small soaps inside It is so pretty in fact you hate to actually use it It looks really great just sitting on my bathtub But alas I went for it and again loved the aromas and the effects I typically am not a soap user due to my dry skin I prefer a rich bodywash but this left my skin smooth and not at all dried out It contains vitamin E pure vegetable glycerine honey essential oils and aloe Lavender Bodywash This is by far my favorite product I keep this in my shower and use a small amount on a loofah It is great for shaving too Surprisingly after I use this and follow up with the body lotion I don t find a strong scent lingering It still remains light and only somewhat fragrant I can even apply a little perfume over it without overpowering the senses As you can see I really enjoy this line and with summer right around the corner it is definitely time to get our neglected wintertime skin ready for the rays You can call to order direct at 1 800 366 4071 review 4 00 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Astara Conscious Skin Care Daily Refining Scrub report by Jennifer of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I always love a good scrub I think it is an essential step to healthy looking skin I was anxious to try this product after I saw it in my Bliss catalog You can also find these products online at astaraskincare com as well as other beauty sites When I checked out their website I was in for a surprise What I found was a skincare company touting their skincare conscious image and displaying products that radiate an amazing electrically alive energy field What did all this mean Well if you take the time to study the Kirlian photos on this site you will come to understand what they mean about high life force energy Sorry I just wanted to buy a little skincare I found their site and explanations confusing and tedious Try it for yourself if you re interested and have a lot of time on your hands Bliss advertises this as an ultra gentle scrub and unfortunately I found it quite the opposite It felt much too abrasive for me which surprises me because the ingredients have very soothing properties Not only did I not enjoy this product the packaging was a bit annoying First of all I do not buy glass containers when I can avoid it too many little hands in my household Second the glass jar has a twist lid that the product gets caked in and then drips down the sides This would be more user friendly if it came in a tube The one redeeming quality is the wonderful citrus scent I love citrus it always gives the impression of squeaky clean You can find Astara products online at beautyjungle com review 4 00 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Astara Conscious Skin Care report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I ve had my eye on Astara Conscious Skin Care for quite a while Their small collection of botanical products includes a lightweight gel cleanser superfine facial scrub several antioxidant moisturizers and two masks that I couldn t resist during my last Bliss stock up Blue Flame Purification and Violet Flame Enzyme Blue Flame Purification Mask 32 for a 2 2 ounce jar If you have breakout prone skin this is a great once a week clay mask Made with lemongrass rosemary aloe vera gel and tea tree oil this mask is supposed to eliminate bacteria to hopefully help keep pimples at bay It also smooths the skin with a light scrubbing action Whether it really reduces bacteria is anybody s guess but I like how fresh and smooth my skin looks after using Blue Flame and it does a great job of drawing the oil out from any pimples you currently have It s a little spendy but a nice treat if you do at home facials frequently Violet Flame Enzyme Mask 34 for a 2 2 ounce jar Sensitive skin beware this is strong stuff Two kinds of clay combined with extracts of rosemary comfrey ginseng and chamomile plus papaya and pineapple enzymes make your skin feel like it s being vacuumed It doesn t work miracles but if your skin looks dull and feels in need of renewal this mask is nice to add to your at home spa experience Botanical Cleansing Gelee 22 for 4 ounces For starters I love the blue bottles that these two products come in Considering all the products and brands I ve tried I ve come to appreciate a nice package The cleanser inside contains infusions of chamomile basil calendula comfrey and lindenflower in a base of aloe vera a detergent cleansing agent sodium laureth sulfate and plant oils like pink grapefruit bergamot lemon mandarin and lavender This is a low foaming gel that I found works well for normal combination or normal to oily skin even though the label says for all skin types those of you with dry skin may find it is a bit too drying Daily Refining Scrub 23 for 4 ounces I have found that there are two basic textures for most facial scrubs rough and smooth The scrubs that are based on ground up shells and seeds are typically rough while those made with jojoba beads or finely milled flours are smooth This scrub falls under the Smooth category its scrubbing texture comes from diatomaceous earth a form of silica in a base of infusions of chamomile basil calendula comfrey and lindenflower aloe vera and plant oils like pink grapefruit bergamot lemon mandarin and lavender It has a nice texture that feels gentle on the skin This is definitely included in my favorite scrub collection You can find Astara

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT March 24 2000 This week our focus is on special treats for your face With vibrant colors and glowing skin the focus of beauty this season I am definitely looking for ways to get my skin looking its best I recently discovered 310 pronounced three one oh after the telephone area code in Los Angeles and was impressed by their interesting selection of Fresh Fare natural skin care These products are hand made with fresh ingredients and no chemical preservatives so they come specially packaged on ice and have to be refrigerated when you get them The concept is very similar to the Canadian company Lush but personally I like the scents and textures of 310 products much better just about every cream I ve ever gotten from Lush smelled like a science project gone terribly wrong 310 Banana Mint Mask 22 This mask is thick with real banana and is great for any skin type except maybe the very sensitive because of the clay and peppermint oil I ve used it twice a week for a couple of months and find that the longer you leave it on the more oil absorbing it is I like to layer it on very thick and take it off after about 10 minutes before it dries completely My skin has a tendency to be dry so this method keeps me from drying out but still leaves my skin feeling fresh and alive I always have a nice glow after using it and the incredible minty smell lingers I swear it smells good enough to eat I would definitely get this again 310 Papaya Enzyme Mask 22 If you are sensitive to AHAs or don t like the idea of using chemical exfoliants on your skin an enzyme mask like this one is a nice alternative Chock full of pieces of real papaya this mask is a quick treatment that helps get rid of dead skin and gives your skin a healthy glow When my skin is feeling dull but also sensitive I slather it on wait 3 5 minutes then rinse with cool water It s not as potent as the banana mint mask but still very nice as a sensitive skin treat Along with face masks Fresh Fare also includes a Honey Lemon Hair Mask Peppermint Foot Mask and Sea Mud Body Mask 310 also has a collection of Shelf Fare products that don t require refrigeration including lip balms essential oil creams and massage bars You can find 310 products online at 310online com and beautyjungle com Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Botanical Herbal Supplement 59 for 60 I bought the small container of these recently and have been pleasantly surprised at how much I like them Like the original Ceramide Time Complex the herbal version is packaged in individual dose capsules that you break open to use almost like a vitamin E capsule Each one contains a blend of Avocado Birch Chinese Magnolia Coneflower Ginkgo Biloba Grape Seed Mulberry Rosemary extracts and some light moisturizers with no preservatives or unnecessary thickeners I loved the silky almost powdery feel it left on my skin I used Ceramide Herbal under a thicker moisturizer during the winter but I could see using them alone under sunscreen in the summer or for someone with oily skin mine is normal to dry You can find Ceramide Herbal online at beautyjungle com eve com or in your favorite department store It also comes in a 30 capsule version for around 35 Biore Blemish Bomb 6 99 for 10 When I first read about this blemish treatment I was excited about the idea Biore Blemish Bomb is a thick clear gel packaged in single use foil packets one packet works for about 3 4 pimples The gel dries to a plastic like patch that you leave on the pimple overnight letting the active ingredient salicylic acid do its job Sounds like a great product but I found it needs some work On one hand the gel is not thick enough and can run so while you are waiting for it to set it doesn t always stay on the blemish On the other hand it s so thick that it doesn t dry quickly enough making it more likely to run All in all you end up with a thick gooey mess that won t stay on the pimple and takes forever to dry I think the concept is great and salicylic acid is a good acne fighter but Blemish Bomb needs to go back to the drawing board You can find Biore Blemish Bomb at a drugstore or mass retail store like Target SHOP

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Ole Henriksen Skin Care report by Nava of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel By far the best recreational use of my home computer has been for shopping Especially shopping for beauty products With the recent launches of new beauty product websites I ve had the time of my life sampling brands of make up and skin care I ve had little or no access to I ve been dying to try Ole Henriksen s products for longer than I care to remember I heard about his Beverly Hills salon and products in all the usual places Mr Henriksen has been featured on the Style Channel and most recently on QVC I ordered the five product Seven Day Skin Care Transformation Kit from beautyjungle com For 110 00 these products proved to be well worth the cost Here s a rundown On The Go Exhilarating Cleanser I ve tried a few new cleansers lately that have made me very happy This is one of them It is a gentle foaming cleanser containing seaweed and grapeseed extracts vitamins C and E and other natural ingredients It produces a wonderful lather that rises off quickly and easily taking all make up and dirt with it Pick Me Up Face Tonic This is an impressive alcohol free toner It contains Witch Hazel fruit extracts aloe vera and alpha hydroxy acids among its ingredients It smells wonderful and is really refreshing It can also be used throughout the day to freshen an oily complexion I also like to use it to clean away those wayward mascara smudges that always appear during application Truth Serum A 10 Vitamin C serum that also contains aloe vera and green tea extract This serum immediately sinks into the skin leaving it soft and smooth not at all greasy Invigorating Night Gel I found it strange that this product is called invigorating since you use it at night It is a clear gel containing alpha hydroxy acids algae extract vitamins A E and C This gel really helps control oil and soothe blotchy skin Surprisingly it contains no alcohol so it will not irritate sensitive skin Sheer Transformation Creme A potent antioxidant moisturizer containing Vitamins C and E Salicylic Acid and botanicals This product also contains Kojic Esters which are used to fade discoloration and hyperpigmentation This product is supposed to be used in tandem with the Invigorating Night Gel for optimum benefits I must admit that I saw positive changes in my skin sooner than seven days After using the products for four days I noticed that my skin seemed clearer healthier and most notably less oily I was very impressed In addition to the kit I tried a few other items worth mentioning Clear and Gentle Primrose Soap 18 for a 3 5 oz jar This unusual soap is packaged in a jar Using a wet round sponge the sponges come with the kit or are available separately from Beautyjungle you rub the surface of the soap creating a rich lather This is a great product that cleanses and gently exfoliates at the same time Firming Eye Creme 45 for a 1 oz jar I like the fact that you get a very generous one ounce jar for the price The first few ingredients following purified water and aloe vera gel are sunflower seed grapeseed avocado and wheat germ oils This is a very rich cream that will soothe and moisturize the delicate eye area However I found this cream way too heavy to use under makeup I was horrified to look in the mirror midday to find my mascara glopped under my eyes Raccoon eyes are not my best look Pure Perfection 12 Glycolic Acid Creme 45 for a 2 oz jar This cream can be used day or night It also has an SPF of 12 The instructions say to use it sparingly Take heed because it has a very rich texture In addition to lactic glycolic and fruit acids it contains vitamins A C and E I was uncomfortable using this cream under makeup but I found it to be satisfactory as a night cream All in all Ole Henriksen products are definitely something special If I ever find myself in Beverly Hills you can bet the first place I head to is the Ole Henriksen

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT March 17 2000 As I mentioned last week sheer color and a natural glow to the skin are all the rage this spring Making a huge entrance in this category is the new Calvin Klein cosmetics line now available in department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom see it online at nordstrom com While there are traditional powder blushes and eye shadows the highlights of this line are the color washes for lips cheeks and eyes I visited my local Nordstrom recently and sat down with Counter Manager Joseph for color suggestions and application tips on using these new products Eye Color Wash 14 This is my favorite product from this line Eye Color Wash is a cream shadow in a squeeze tube that can be applied very sheer or layered for more intensity You can also layer it with powder shadow either under as a base or over to give the powder more sheen I bought Misty Mauve and Red Sea to use for two different looks Misty Mauve is the lightest shade a pale silver lilac that looks great alone either applied lightly to the entire eye area all the way up to the brow or as an accent with the powder shadows When I want a little color with no fuss I use this Red Sea is a reddish plum that I only like if I use it with the Woodviolet shadow and Cocoa Plum liner listed below alone it is too red for my pale skin and makes me look tired or sick Used a base for Woodviolet applied to the crease and outer corner and with a bit of Cocoa Plum liner at the lashline it gives a nice dimension to the plum shades Since it looks pretty with the other colors I decided to keep it rather than exchanging it for another color Eye Color Wash is available in other shades like water lily sea mist pale gold peach pearl and marine Lip Color Wash 15 in Heather light rose While I like the Lip Color Wash it s not quite what I expected I thought it would be a gloss or creamy sheer color in a squeeze tube like the eye wash but it s actually a demi matte lipstick in a thin silver case that reminds me of the packaging for Clinique s Almost Lipstick It has average wear but a nice soft feel I like the lip wash for weekends when I want some color but don t want to look too made up It also comes in citrus a very in tangerine shade buff brandy wine and berry Cheek Color Wash 23 in Radiant rose mauve This is a cream blush with a light slightly dry powdery feel If you don t normally wear cream blush because they are too emollient you might like this one I like this better than the powder blush because it gives a more natural looking glow to the skin like it comes from within You can apply a few dabs to your cheeks and blend them with your fingers so it s fairly foolproof it doesn t dry or streak like a gel blush Compared to other cream or gel blushes I ve tried I like this one better than Bobbi Brown s cream blush stick better than BeneFit BeneTint and about as much as Cover Girl CG Smoothers Cheek Glaze Cheek Color Wash also comes in hue natural and blushing Eye Shadow 15 During my makeup session with Joseph he used Pink Opal Woodviolet and Bittersweet on me I ended up getting Woodviolet a medium brown plum because it s versatile and brings out the blue in my eyes I can wear it alone on the lid in the crease or as liner and I can layer it with either of my eye wash shades It goes on smooth blends nicely and wears well with minimal creasing and no fading Blush 24 in Terra As powder blushes go this one is fine but nothing amazing as far as I m concerned I think the Cheek Color Wash is a much better product if you want a cheek color from this line Eye Definer 14 in Cocoa Plum I don t usually use pencil liners but this one is nice and a pleasure to wear It goes on smoothly with no drag It also has a sponge tip on the other end for smudging and blending I wore Eye Definer alone and with the Woodviolet powder shadow over it and it wore well both ways It comes in ebony coffee henna graphite and dusk Lip Definer 14 in Plum The lip pencil is similar to the eye pencil smooth with no drag and it has a convenient lip brush on the other end so you can blend the liner into your lipstick Lip Definer also comes in terra nude cocoa rose and brick Calvin Klein Cosmetics also includes lipstick in 39 shades lip gloss in 6 shades mascara in 4 shades sheer foundation with SPF 20 in 8 shades light coverage foundation with SPF 8 in 15 shades medium coverage foundation compact cream with SPF 8 in 12 shades pressed and loose powders in 6 shades and a cream concealer in 4 shades There is also a small range of skin care products including gel and milk cleansers makeup remover 2 moisturizers an oil control lotion and a scrub I don t have a complete list of stores that sell Calvin Klein Cosmetics so check the department stores in your area I bought mine at Nordstrom and I know you can order from their Beauty Hotline see nordstrom com for details I also have not seen it on any of the online beauty stores yet SHOP Get what

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER DECEMBER 99 ONLINE SHOPPING REVIEWS Here s my advice this holiday season do yourself a favor and shop online I know I know how can you replace the experience of going to the makeup counters seeing the products and trying the colors Easy For the most part you can find better service loads of free samples gift wrapped products and no hassle returns When was the last time you could say that about a department store beautyjungle com http www beautyjungle com The Goods I was lucky enough to get in on the beautyjungle zebra bag promotion free 3C lipgloss Philosophy mascara Revlon lipstick 10 off 25 purchase coupon and a zebra print cosmetic bag and the idea that high end brands like 3C and drugstore names like Revlon would be co mingling on one site intrigued me I spent my coupon on Fresh Soy Face Cream 34 Fresh Jus lipstick in Cranberry Pear 17 and Bobbe Pots decorative hairpins 13 in Pink Baby Roses The Experience Finding what you want is a little tricky on this site They have the products broken down into Boutique categories that take some getting used to Elite Street brands like 3 Custom Color Specialists Bloom Cellex C Marilyn Miglin Mason Pearson Philip B philosophy and Samuel Par Global Chic brands like 5S Aromapharmacy Fresh Heavy Duty Joey New York Komenuka Bijin Make Up Center Red Flower and Urban Decay Virtual Spa brands like Astara Dr Semel Jane Iredale Karin Herzog Ling Murad Ole Henriksen and Weleda Nature Zone brands like Aroma Thyme Aroma Vera Better Botanicals Crabtree Evelyn Ecco Bella Erbaviva Living Earth and Weleda Main Street brands like Almay CornSilk Cover Girl L Oreal Max Factor Oil of Olay Orly Salon Nails Revlon Rubiglo Sally Hansen Ultima II Xpressions and Yardley Personally I would like to see a list of all the brands without the categories somewhere on the site You can browse by product type but the area is hiding near the bottom of the page under the heading Shop and you still have to navigate through the Boutique categories Once you find what you want the color swatches are good and you can even click on a color to get a larger close up look at it Like just about every other site reviewed here there are no ingredient listings for the products Editor s Note Beautyjungle now has full ingredient lists for every product The Wrap Products came individually wrapped in blue and purple tissue boxed with purple shredded paper The Service Ordered arrived within a week with free shipping for a limited time on all orders over 75 and free standard ground shipping for orders under 75 Beautyjungle has a 30 day return policy and you even get refunded any shipping fees One of the best features on beautyjungle com is the Customer Service page which does a great job of answering just about any question you can think of Rating 4 out of 5 stars beautyscene com http www beautyscene com The Goods I had been wanting to try Shu Uemura for some time so when beautyscene went live I picked up Mark Cealer 19 in Beige 4 Nobara Cream Foundation 19 50 in 754 Beige 4B and Sheer Lip Rouge 15 in Wine 240 The Experience The best part of my shopping experience on beautyscene is the real time live customer service When I had a question or wondered about a product or color I could pop on and ask a live person any time day or night for me it was usually at a wee hour of the night I only wish I had used it before selecting a foundation shade the shade I thought would be right for me ended up being way too dark Beautyscene recently added pull down menus on the front page to access the different brands or type of product you are looking for a definite improvement over the long list on the Products page They also added color swatch enlarging so you can click on a shade to get a closer look If they had this feature when I bought my products I think I would have had better luck picking a foundation shade Overall while I like the real time customer service shopping at beautyscene is a bit bland and sometimes tedious when you want to simply browse within a brand clicking on show me all products for this brand forces you to wade through a long list of all the products in the brand The Wrap Products are individually wrapped in white tissue and my order came with several skin care and fragrance samples The Service Products arrived within a week with free UPS Ground or Priority US Mail shipping free for registered users When I wanted to return the foundation but was unsure of what to do I used the live customer service chat on the beautyscene site and they told me just what to do They took the foundation back with no problem even though I had used it Rating 3 out of 5 stars gloss com http www gloss com The Goods For my first order with Gloss I decided to just get a few things smell THIS Finger Fumes scented nail polish 5 in Chocolate Brownie and scented candle 5 in Fresh Pot of Coffee I have since placed another order for Demeter Pick Me Up Cologne Spray 12 50 The Experience I really enjoyed my shopping experience at Gloss I like the site colors and product shots and for the most part the navigation works one area that gets lost however is the Gloss Recommends section on the right hand side of the individual product pages Unless you are really looking all around the page it s easy to miss that there is something to scroll to on the side Every page has a Shop by Brand pull down box which I found made browsing really easy The cosmetic color swatches are pretty good product descriptions are a bit light on content but Gloss has the one thing that most other beauty sites are missing product ingredient listings It s not complete on every product but they are off to a good start If you are sensitive to certain ingredients this is a helpful resource The most disappointing feature on the Gloss site is the Virtual Makeover section The idea is clever choose one of five models and apply her makeup for a variety of looks I spent at least 20 minutes playing virtual makeup artist and was interested in trying some of the products myself too bad the list of products used on the model does not link to purchasing those products Oops The Wrap Products came packaged in a white box with a black lid and wrapped with a red ribbon all inside a regular shipping box The Service Products arrived within a week with free standard shipping 3 5 days through January 15th for registered users Rating 4 out of 5 stars indulge com http www indulge com The Goods As tempting as it was to buy myself a nice little Pashmina Wrap cashmere blanket I managed to stay focused on the beauty products This shopping trip included Molton Brown Cover Up 23 in Lumiere plus a pretty pink and brown Tony Tina Color Frequency Eye Shadow 18 in Romance Happiness The Experience Shopping at indulge com is a little different from the other beauty sites because they carry other luxury items like handbags cashmere blankets and scarves silk pajamas and designer sunglasses They also have a smaller selection of beauty brands including Osmotics Bloom philosophy Mason Pearson Tipton Charles and Molton Brown This site has a nice shopping environment with graphics that look like shelves so you feel a bit like you are shopping at a real store Products are grouped by brand then by product type making it fairly easy to navigate There is also a shop by brand pull down box on every page The only downside is a lack of product ingredient listings but that is also true for most other beauty sites The Wrap Products were set in small box of white shredded paper with outer wrap of white and orange tissue sealed with an orange indulge com sticker After receiving a few orders from other sites in obnoxiously large boxes I appreciated this minimalist packaging The Service Order took 9 days to arrive from the day I placed my order UPS Ground shipping was free through December 31st and I received a generous 1 1 ounce sample tube of Molton Brown Refreshing Facial Wash Even though there was only one sample this is something I will actually use Indulge com does accept returns and will refund the original purchase price including any shipping tax and gift wrapping charges for 60 days after you receive your order Rating 4 out of 5 stars sephora com http www sephora com The Goods Many of the products I was interested in on my first visit to sephora com where not yet in stock so I settled with Bubbe s Best Cream Oats Honey Baby Body Wash 11 for my daughter DDF Doctor s Dermatologic Formula Glycolic Toner 10 26 Joey New York Chin Breakout Relief 25 for 2 ounces Unfortunately the Joey NY product was out of stock The Experience I found the site difficult to navigate and overall just not intuitive I had trouble logging in to check my order sometimes I couldn t get to products pages I had just visited and the product descriptions and ingredient lists are inconsistent some products have information while others have nothing I will be returning the DDF Glycolic Toner because I didn t know until I received it that it contains an irritating concoction of alcohol menthol and witch hazel along with both glycolic and lactic acids Had this information been on the site I would have chosen something else The Wrap Order came in a large box for just 2 products with a ton of black shredded paper I also got a few fragrance samples The Service Order took forever to arrive almost 2 weeks one of the products was out of stock and was simply dropped from my order I did not find out I was not getting the out of stock item until I called to see where my order was I doubt I would order from sephora com again Rating 2 out of 5 stars beauty com http www beauty com The Goods FACE Stockholm Cake Eyeliner in Eggplant 11 I ve happy with most of the FACE products I ve tried before and the same goes for this liner I love the deep plum color and it s really easy to use just wet an eyeliner brush run it over the cake a few times and apply It s rich and sultry like a liquid but dries to a powder so it won t budge The Experience I visited beauty com site several times before I felt compelled to buy anything I finally decided on a cake eyeliner and made my purchase on December 8th As of December 16th I have not received it yet UPDATE I finally received my order on December 20th Read on for details The Wrap My order came wrapped in silver and blue tissue set in silver and white shredded paper inside a small shipping box There was a thank you for your order card like all the sites do and a few fragrance samples The Service Slow I was supposed to get my order via Priority Mail 5 business days Instead it took 8 business days and arrived via UPS I was also supposed to receive an email with a shipping number when my order has been shipped which I never got Clearly this is an area they need to work on Rating 2 out of 5 stars neimanmarcus com http www neimanmarcus com The Goods Eve Lom skincare starter kit 22 Laura Mercier oil free foundation 38 Laura Mercier sponges 8 and Laura Mercier velour powder puff 12 The tools were great but the foundation ended up being too oil free for me leaving my skin dry and flaky and the Eve Lom kit was in my acne prone opinion absolutely horrific The collection of sample sized cleanser mask and various creams all much too small for 22 are just about the worst pore cloggers I have ever seen Although my skin is prone to breakouts it is also dry so I had hoped that at least the dry areas of my face would appreciate the mineral oil based cleansing cream and greasy face creams instead they just sit on the skin like a layer of cooking oil I did not give a second thought to returning these products immediately The Experience In the Shop for Her section Neiman s has a limited selection of cosmetics and skin care from Laura Mercier Guerlain La Prairie Eve Lom Sisley and ReVive Since there aren t dozens of brands to sort through searching through a page or two of products to find what you want is no big deal If they add more they ll need more intuitive navigation The Wrap Compared to the other online beauty shops the packaging from Neiman s was drab and boring plain brown box plain paper box filler products wrapped in bubblewrap Guess I got spoiled by the other sites pretty wrap and ribbons The Service My order came within about 10 days When I decided to return a few of the items it was no problem with the clear instructions included on the original packing slip Rating 2 out of 5 stars reflect com http www reflect com The Goods During a reflect com test period I was able to purchase the following products at 50 off Release Foaming Cleanser 8 50 regularly 17 Rehydrate UV Facial Lotion 8 50 regularly 17 Reverse Eye Gel 11 regularly 22 and Recharge Body Wash 6 regularly 12 On my second visit I purchased at full price Liquid Foundation 14 Reassure Concealing Stick 11 and a Lipstick 11 50 The Experience Reflect com is what I would call an active shopping experience You don t just browse mindlessly but instead create the products you want based on your own specifications You start by registering and filling out questionnaires about your skin type coloring preferences etc When you want to order products you can customize certain aspects of the products like its formula bottle style and level of fragrance For the color cosmetics like foundation you answer a series of questions to determine your skin color and undertones as well as your preference of liquid or powder formula The system suggests a color based on your answers and also shows some similar shades that are lighter darker more less pink and more less yellow so you can adjust the final selection to the color you want If you are the type of person who loves filling out surveys like me then you will have a blast filling in all the data that is required to create your personalized products My only real problem with the reflect com site was getting back into it when I registered and did my first shopping session it was during one of their beta test periods The site was then not accessible even though I had registered so I couldn t look at other products or look up the ingredients of my products When I finally got in again hint use the passcode reflectvip to get into their sneak preview mode I printed out everything I wanted to know like the ingredients of my products which is readily on the site but not printed on the product packaging All in all I really like the reflect com site I think the whole concept is quite clever and I ve been really happy with the products The Wrap Shipped in a long opaque plastic tube with the products wrapped in brightly colored tissue The Service Reflect com delivered on their goal to deliver to you free of charge in under a week I ordered on a Saturday and received my package on the very next Thursday Rating 5 out of 5 stars SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Ole Henriksen Skin Care report by Lisa of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I ll tell ya Heather deserves an award for being a complete dear She has patiently listened to incessant bellyaching about my recent complexion woes and given me some great advice to deal with the changes my skin as gone through During the past three or four months my oily to combination skin which hardly ever broke out beyond those predictable monthly hormonal shifts has slowed down the oil production but has turned wicked sensitive in the process Maybe it s partly due to age I turned 28 in December but I suspect it has more to do with recent job stress we won t even go there All this considered I find I have to be extra careful about which products I include in my daily regimen since so many things tend to irritate my complexion Using La Mer moisturizer has definitely helped but since it contains no sunscreen and I don t always wear foundation I need something different for daytime use which contains full spectrum UV protection After some research I decided to Try Ole Henriksen s Daytime Herbal Anti Oxidant Moisturizer available from my favorite online source beautyjungle com I have heard amazing things about the Ole Henriksen line from sources like In Style and Allure so I decided what the heck The price is certainly reasonable 2 ozs for 30 and apparently this man is an absolute genius in dealing with sensitive skin which is prone to breakouts Would Ole s magic work on me Read on I really liked this lightweight cream It s a super moisturizer and skin protectant for any skin type The formula applies smoothly and evenly and absorbs quickly you won t have to wait long to apply your makeup The formula contains all sorts of lovely herbal extracts vitamin E and other goodies that make your skin smooth and radiant I ve been using it for about three weeks and my skin has improved greatly Breakouts are few and far between and my skin continues to produce less oil and act more normal In fact this moisturizer has so impressed me that I even decided to order the Gentle Primrose Complexion Soap and Pick Me Up Tonic The Clear and Gentle Primrose Complexion Soap 18 for 3 5 ozs was not a disappointment either This ingenious formula is solid in form and comes in a jar Natural vegetable sponges also available from beautyjungle com are suggested to use in conjunction with this soap just moisten and rub into the product to create lather The sponges provide gentle exfoliation and are suitable for any skin type This soap like the Herbal Day Cream contains a host of natural ingredients like extracts of Marigold Comfrey Chamomile Aloe Vera Gel and Evening Primrose Oil and is very very gentle Yet I found that it even removed my eye makeup well I use this soap morning and night and my face hasn t broken out in weeks I m a big fan of Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2 but since my skin feels more sensitive I decided to opt for a gentle alcohol free toner The Pick Me Up Face Tonic 4 oz for 16 is another winner The first thing you notice is its luscious slightly fruity scent Considering some of the key ingredients are fruit extracts like blueberry blackberry and peach this makes sense Other ingredients include AHAs Aloe Vera Gel and Vitamin C The end result is a magnificent toner that creates a gentle rosy flush in your complexion I guess you could say this toner isn t necessary because the soap cleanses so thoroughly but I guarantee it is an enjoyable step to your regime when you have the time review 4 00 SHOP Get

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT March 31 2000 I am so pleased at the great expansion of our Product Panel keep watching for many new reviews so this week I am highlighting one of our newest members Linda and her review of The Body Shop s new vitamin C skincare Here is a bit about Linda Linda 33 is an executive assistant at a PR agency in New York City and a single mother of a 2 year old son Her mother warned her at 12 that once she started using makeup she would never be able to stop and she was right Linda has been hooked ever since This cosmetic junkie says she actually gets a high when trying new products Her dream is to someday become a regular client of renowned makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin Linda is Hispanic and has a fair to medium complexion with yellow undertones which tends to burn then tan She has normal to dry skin with a slightly oily T zone area Her eyes are dark brown and has light brown curly short hair which she prefers to wear straight This is especially difficult for her during the warm humid months Her main beauty concern is dark circles around the eyes Right now her concealer of choice is Prescriptives camouflage cream Take it away Linda A ccording to the Body Shop the Vitamin C line was created using a very stable form of vitamin C in order to deliver its most potent benefits to the skin Vitamin C is a known antioxidant and free radical scavenger and helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines while increasing collagen production It also acts as a melanin inhibitor which results in a visibly brighter more even skin tone Hydrating Facial Cleanser This creamy cleanser was thicker than most cleansers I ve used and I like to subtle scent of citrus It rinsed off easily I used it in the shower and it removed most of my eye makeup my mascara didn t complete come off but it did not irritate my eyes Afterward my face didn t feel tight and I was almost tempted to skip the moisturizer all together but I didn t Energizing Face Spritz 4 0 fl oz 8 This toner comes in a pump bottle and felt very refreshing on my face I used it before the facial moisturizer in the morning and night I highly recommend this spritz and will probably use it during the warm humid months when my face needs a little pick me up Just be careful not to get it in your eyes as the label warns Protective Daywear Moisturizer w SPF 15 2 5 fl oz 12 This moisturizer comes in a squeeze tube and moisturizes very well but has moderate sun protection Maybe someone with oily skin would use less than someone with normal or dry skin I ve used it for one week now and my skin feels nice and soft It s a pretty good moisturizer but nothing to rant and rave over I ve used moisturizers that cost half the price and worked just as well Super Charged Serum 1 0 fl oz 18 This product says it restores the skin s natural lipid barrier It can be used mornings or evenings after cleansing your face This thick clear liquid comes in a pump and you just need a drop more than that would be too much I used it with the facial moisturizer My skin felt dewy and this may be a Godsend to someone with dry skin but I don t think someone with oily skin should use it Although I have an oily t zone my skin didn t break out I really don t think you need to use this product everyday perhaps every other day unless your skin is extremely dry Moisturizing Body Lotion 8 fl oz 12 I almost felt like I was using the hydrating facial cleanser on my body Same consistency and scent but of course not the same product My skin soaked it up and the scent was not overpowering so it did not clash with my perfume It felt very good on my skin Intensive Night Repair Cream 1 25 fl oz 18 Comes in a tube and contains an optimal concentration of vitamin C Its label promises it will even out skin tone and enhance skin s radiance I felt a burning sensation when I used this cream so I was definitely convinced that it contained more citrus acid than the other products I was tempted to wash it off but decided to wait and see if my face would react to it It didn t and my face was blotch free in the morning If you have irritated or sensitive skin I wouldn t suggest you use this product Stimulating Mask 2 5 fl oz 15 Contains Vitamin C and Rose Hip Seed oil The label states it enhances skin cell activity I also had a reaction to the mask only more intense this time After applying it for a few minutes my face became red and felt hot I washed it off with cool water used the spritz and moisturized it with the night cream but the redness did not go away In the morning my face was back to normal but after washing and moisturizing it started to get red again although not as red as the night before and felt tingly all day Unsure if this was normal I called the company to verify They told me that although the product s acidic content may cause a reaction they advised me to send the product back for testing After the stimulating mask incident I stopped using the products Even if it turns out that the sensitivity I felt was a normal reaction I don t think I will ever purchase this mask again The only products I really recommend are the cleanser and the spritz So if you re curious try the Vitamin C skin care kit in a clear zippered pouch 18 which contain the best four products of the skin care line Hydrating Facial Cleanser 2 0 fl oz Protective Daywear Moisturizer w SPF 15 0 5 fl oz Energizing Face Spritz 1 0 fl oz Moisturizing Body Lotion 2 0 fl oz SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Calvin Klein Cosmetics report by Judith of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I must admit that most cosmetic ads I receive in the mail get immediately tossed with the junk mail but when I received the first mailing for the introduction of Calvin Klein cosmetics I was so taken by the colors that the model was wearing that I planned a trip to Nordstrom the only place in the DC area that is carrying this range of cosmetics at the present time I wasn t disappointed In person the colors just like the subtle elegant colors in CK s fashion designs are even more beautiful than in the ads Finding an entire line of neutral yellow toned colors was nirvana to my soul so I jumped right in and here are the results Protective Moisture Lotion SPF 15 This lightweight moisturizer which is just the barest tinge of green is exactly what I have been looking for It soaks right in and leaves a wonderful surface without any shine for applying makeup My initial complaint about this was that it didn t have a pump dispenser and was hard to get out of the bottle As an aside I returned to a different Nordstrom a week later to find out that the SA was SUPPOSED to have included a dispenser with the product but didn t I ve visited all three local Nordstrom branches to find the CK products I wanted At two out of three the SA s were super trying lots of things on me and giving me lots of ideas At the store where I didn t receive the pump there was not a specific CK SA on duty and the person who helped me didn t really help me at all I told her what I wanted and she told me what they had and rang it up Period Good salesmanship makes a BIG difference IMHO Sheer Cover Foundation SPF 20 I usually wear tinted moisturizer in warm weather instead of foundation Sheer Cover Foundation offers a smidge more coverage than tinted moisterizer while still very sheer and natural looking and offers much better staying power Unlike tinted moisturizer there is no greasy feel Packaged in a pump dispenser the texture is smooth and silky and glides right on The SPF 20 is an added bonus as there is no need for an extra layer of SPF with such good protection The color I chose was Bisque which is the second lightest shade Light Coverage Foundation SPF8 3 Linen Also packaged in a pump dispenser I was at first disappointed that the texture seems sort of watery Once I applied it to my face I didn t care The color was perfect and the coverage extremely soft and natural I feel certain that this will be my primary foundation As to the difference between the Sheer Cover Foundation and the Light Cover Foundation Sheer Cover is more like a tinted moisturizer only with a teeny bit heavier coverage abeit still sheer Light coverage foundation has more of a matte finish to it Both have beautifully natural finishes but Sheer coverage is lighter and leaves more of a glow on your skin With my dry skin I still wore a light moisturizer under both Medium Coverage Foundation SPF 8 2 Linen I don t usually like cream to powder type foundations because they are too heavy and end up settled in the wrinkles on my face This one is different It doesn t turn powdery but mains a medium coverage that is creamy and natural looking with more coverage than the two liquid foundations mentioned above It would have been nice if the color system had been the same for all three foundations but the numbering and naming system is different for each Checking the three foundations against the List of Comedogenic Ingredients I found very few problems Those ingredients that were on the list usually fell at the very end of the ingredient list for each product I think that those with sensitive skin or prone to acne should give this line a try Cheek Color Wash 1 Hue 3 Radiant This sheer cream blush comes in a nifty lucite compact Hue is a natural peachy brown Radiant is a rich rosy brown The color looks darker and more irridescent before you apply it but the looks like a sheer wash on the skin A definite keeper The SA applied it with a foam sponge but I found my fingers worked just as well Lip Color Wash 1 Citrus 2 Buff 3 Brandy This stuff is great Not a gloss and not a lipstick it has the texture of the sheer lipstick I love from MAC no lipgloss shine or stickiness it lasts much longer than lipgloss The color is absolutely beautiful and moist Best of all no feathering and it lasts much longer than a gloss IMHO Lip Gloss 04 Apricot Glaze I love the color but found this product to be slightly gritty not what I like in a lipgloss This is the one product in this line that I would not purchase again and wouldn t recommend I think that there are other lipglosses available with a much smoother texture Lip Color 03 Adobe A bricky brown The colors are great and it s nice and creamy and I m enjoying this lipstick but the Lip Color Wash has won my heart Eye Color Wash 03 Water Lily a pale mossy green 05 Pale Gold pale neutral gold 07 Riverstone a dark plummy brown I m not big on eye makeup except when I m really dressed up but these color washes may change that They are packaged in little tubes and the color is amazingly sheer not shiny and not matte and it lasts There s nothing worse than smearing your eye makeup across your face at work I found I could also use them on top of the Benefit creaseless cream shadows that I usually wear Eye Definer 03 Senna I ve not worn any kind of eyeliner except for Bobbi Brown eye color which is also eye shadow in years so this was an experiment for me We chose Henna which is a rich brown The pencil is soft and easy to apply even in my state of semi blindness when not wearing my glasses What is really nifty about it is the sponge on the two ended pencil to smudge your line just like you would do with a powder eyeliner I could get used to using this Packaging is simple and classic The only major compaint I have is that the labels are almost impossible to read In addition to very tiny letters the coloring on silver foil for the labels is impossible to read I find that I m identifying colors by their s and referring back to the catalog to get the actual name Aside from these minor annoyances I love this line and I ll be using it regularly review 3 00 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Ramy Beauty Therapy report by Judith of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel After seeing Ramy Beauty Therapy written up on iVillage com where Ramy is a beauty advisor I decided to give it a try Ramy s makeup philosophy is Minimum Makeup Maximum Impact If these two products are any indication I will be looking for more of his products in the near future I ve been searching for a perfect blush and think that Hint of a Tint Miracle Blush might fit that bill If you like Benefit s BeneTint I suggest giving this product a try This translucent blush comes in stick form in a dispenser similar to a stick deodorant container The color looks dark in the dispenser but sweeps on to a lovely sheer wash of color which is not as rosy as BeneTint but rather a rosy brown The color can be built up and it s really easy to manipulate I ve tried it with all of my foundations and it works equally well with all of them I do believe my quest for the perfect blush has ended I really love this one Another product I tried which is unique to Ramy are his Glaze lipsticks Not a lipgloss but sheerer than a cream the Glazes are deliciosly creamy and lasting while remaining lightweight They contain avocado oil Vitamin E and sunscreen and last longer than most cream lipsticks while being extremely natural looking My favorite is Kvetch a brown rose which seems to match everything followed by Epiphany a sheer red which is great on its own or blended with the Kvetch These products are available at gloss com and from the Ramy Beauty Therapy site at

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Biore report by Connie of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Facial Cleansing Cloths This product is supposed to cleanse your face without having to use soap and water It comes in a container that is similar to baby wipes and the cloths look smell and feel like baby wipes on the skin It does feel refreshing when I first applied the cloth to my face cold and soothing It removed makeup fairly well but not mascara This is an okay idea for camping or if you are nowhere near running water but I personally prefer to wash my face and makeup off with face soap and water This left my skin feeling sticky at first After it had fully dried about 5 minutes after use my face was extremely dry It was a bit stingy going on as well I am sure I won t be using these again any time soon Foaming Liquid Cleanser 5 oz under 5 This is a gel cleanser that worked great with my t zone oily skin It comes in a pump bottle It is hypo allergenic and non comedogenic I really liked this cleanser It took my makeup off in one wash and did not dry out my skin like some gel cleansers do For the price you can t go wrong here Self Heating Mask This comes in a cardboard package with 6 individual mask packets inside The directions say to cleanse your face leave it wet apply the mask and massage for about 60 seconds When the mask has turned blue you will know it is finished The product boasts of cleaning your pores deeply No mask can do that short of going into your pores with a chisel and cleaning them out but this product can absorb oil clean your face and remove dead skin cells The mask heats up right away on the face but it is not too hot or irritating There are microbeads that go to work right away to remove dead skin The product goes on easy and rinses off easy I liked the fact that it works fast However after I used the product and rinsed it off my face turned red This went away after a while but nonetheless it was red for at least a half hour Also about an hour or two after using the product my face became oily I am not sure I would use this again There are other masks on the market that work better with my skin Pore Perfect Toner with beta hydroxy and tea tree oil under 5 5 5 oz I was recently in the market for a beta hydroxy product because I have been testing so many different products lately that I have been breaking out like crazy Well I found a good one with Biore Within days my blemishes disappeared This is a great product It is not drying does not sting when it goes on and it left my skin feeling clean and blemish and oil free The product contains witch hazel which for years has been used as a natural astringent to absorb oil and stop blemishes from popping up Some people say it stings and is to harsh for the face but I did not experience that with this product The other ingredient is salicylic acid the Beta Hydroxy part of this product I liked using Biore toner and plan to continue using it Biore can be found at most drug stores I purchased my Biore skin care from Target and Ulta 3 review 3 00 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Liz Earle report by Adele of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Liz Earle started out as a beauty editor trying out new cosmetics and skincare products It occurred to her that the ingredients she was coming across day to day weren t as natural and beneficial as they perhaps could be and that not everybody could afford the so called top of the range products So she did some research of her own and approached pharmacists and dermatologists finally coming up with her own brand using natural active ingredients and trying to keep the products affordable Cleanse and Polish Eucalyptus is the one of the first scents I noticed when using this product it s a clean almost clinical smell It also contains some other active ingredients such as Almond Milk Camomile and Rosemary The Cleanse and Polish comes with two muslin cloths The idea is that you apply the product to a dampened face massage into the skin and then wipe off with a hot damp muslin cloth be careful not too hot water By doing this you are taking away any dead skin cells in other words polishing your skin I do like this method and your skin will feel really clean For my skin I would use this method every other day in the winter and every day in the spring summer months when my skin is not so sensitive Instant Boost Skin Tonic This is a very gentle toner not astringent but packed full of lovely smells such as camomile geranium rosewood orange and lavender oils It doesn t smell as strong as you might expect it to but it is refreshing on the skin You simply pour onto cotton wool and wipe over your skin Skin Repair This comes in two lines one for normal combination and the other for dry sensitive skin Echinacea is the potent ingredient here this plant extract is helpful in eliminating toxins from your skin and together with natural source Vitamin E and beta carotene this cream is designed to nourish and protect the skin I think it serves its purpose and nourishes the skin however I am into aroma and I don t particularly like its scent sandalwood I think Brightening Treatment This is a skin pick me up which works at its best when your skin is feeling particularly dull It contains pure Aloe Vera and a blend of essential oils You release one pump and apply onto a cleansed face Leave on for a couple of minutes and then dip your muslin cloth in hot water and gently wipe off You may get a slight tingling sensation so do not use near the eyes or on sensitive parts of skin After using this my skin was brighter and slightly flushed looking I think it is good to use perhaps once or twice a week just to revive the skin and get some colour back in those cheeks Superbalm There are a good few oils used in this product including hazelnut avocado and lavender It is a product to soothe dry chapped skin It can also be used to nourish your nail cuticles and help strengthen your nail tips This is one of the products that Liz Earle has produced to multi task I liked it a lot In fact I took her advice and rubbed it on my feet put my feet into socks and slept with it working on them overnight Eyebright Now this is really refreshing for your eyes Its dual task is to remove make up and act as an eye soak To really relax use two bits of cotton wool and soak them in the Eyebright then lie back in a bath or sit with your feet up and place the pads over your eyes for up to 10 minutes and get comfortable When you open your eyes you will feel the benefit and should see a difference I love using the product this way There are other products in the range including essential oils spot control roll on intensive nourishing treatment and daily eye repair Overall I think Liz Earle has a good product line here and I admire her approach At the moment her products are available through QVC in the US and the UK and they are normally sold in twin or assorted product packs There is also a Liz Earle website which is currently

based on one simple philosophy natural That means no artificial colors fragrances and no mineral oil These products contain enzymes vitamins antioxidants seaweed and essential oils I found this line at my local co op It can also be found at various health stores around the country I must have spent an hour checking out each tester and savoring all the delightful aromas I love products with a clean fresh scent My absolute favorite thing about this product line is their mini sized products not only great for travel but also for experimentation without a small investment The following is a list of products I tried and my thoughts on each one It was a challenge to limit myself I definitely plan on trying out their other products Fresh Cleansing Gel 2oz for 4 75 or 8oz for 15 50 This cleanser is recommended for normal skin and although I have dry skin I gave it a try I have this thing about needing suds to feel clean I am still scouting everywhere for the perfect creme cleanser When I tried this for the first time I used too much product as a tried to get a foaming action I was pleasantly surprised by this product It is the perfect balance between suds and creme It actually has an emollient feeling and a little goes a long way This cleanser left my skin feeling somewhat taut but not uncomfortably so My face felt clean and refreshed and I thouroughly enjoyed the soothing fresh scent of this product The only thing I would like to see changed is the dispenser I prefer a pump vs this open and pour bottle I highly recommend this product Sea Tonic Rosewater and Aloe Toner 2 oz for 4 75 or 4 5 oz for 8 75 This toner is used after the cleanser It is supposed to hydrate and soother the skin however I did not notice any significant changes to my skin I tried the skincare system without this product and got the same results The product is soothing and cooling nice for summertime especially in my area of the country I like the idea of using it as a rosewater mist to refresh myself Ultimate Eye Creme 5oz for 29 95 Wow I loved this eyecreme I cannot tell you how many times I have been coerced into purchasing eyecremes that have not delivered what they promise But with this product I actually saw a visible difference in the tiny lines that have begun to appear I am entering a new decade after all This eyecreme is very emollient and a little goes a long way I also loved the faint sweet aroma of this product A MUST for anyone fighting the hands of time Hydrating Mask 3oz for 24 95 Because I have such dry skin I love any product that is soothing and leaves an afterglow This product did just that I received this one as a sample which was good for about three uses Definitely a pampering treat yourself right product Enzyme Peel 1 5 oz for 20 95 This product is meant to replace an exfoliator It is for all skin types and acts as a cellular stimulant as it dissolves dead skin cells It contains papain an active enzyme from raw green papaya You spread a thin layer all over the face and neck and leave on for 20 to 40 minutes so make sure you set aside some time to try this product Personally I prefer the grainy feel of a scrub but this is a nice change It was very soothing and light not at all drying or irritating which I liked Defintely worth trying After my purchases I received an informational brochure with a toll free number Consultants are available to consumers to answer questions and provide skincare advice You can also purchase directly from the co Zia Natural Skincare is systematic and easy to use I really enjoyed the products

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Yves Rocher report by Kiki of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel After reading Heather S s review of various products from this French skin and body company I checked out their website and decided to order the Acne skin care line I was impressed with how affordable their products were and they were indeed very generous with a multitude of samples and gift specials I purchased the Acne Fighter skin care system and also received Cap Soleil after sun skin gel and three perfume samples I did not like these products at all They all smelled very strange and totally turned me off The worst part was that the acne line made me feel like I was washing my face with cheap men s cologne It really had that specific aroma to me I ve never had such a strong negative reaction to the fragrance of a product line The perfume samples and skin care gel smelled equally bad except sweet and powdery rather than manly I couldn t wait for my three days of testing these products to end Derma Controle Foaming Gel Cleanser 5 95 for 2 5 oz This acne cleanser contains salicylic acid and grapefruit extract It foamed well didn t overdry my skin and rinsed off well but all of that means nothing to me considering the smell really grossed me out No recommendation here Derma Controle Normalizing Gel 7 95 for 2 oz This gel is designed much like other pore clarifying products It contains salicylic acid and grapefruit extract In addition to the horrid smell this gel was also sticky and gooey on my skin It did not disappear or sink into my skin as I m accustomed to in this type of product My skin didn t look or feel any different at the end of the testing period I really disliked this product too and would not recommend it Derma Controle Purifying Lotion 5 94 for 4 2 oz It s called purifying lotion but it s basically a toner for acne control Again it has salicylic acid and grapefruit extract I hated this product the most because it followed through on the men s cologne fragrance concept with a stinging alcohol feel With this product I truly felt like I was putting aftershave on my face It had no obvious affect on the condition of my skin and the smell made me ill I disliked this product the most Cap Soleil After Sun Gel 11 95 for 3 4 oz Here I am again on the fragrance soapbox Honestly though when my products came in the mail I opened up this tub of skin gel first and put a small glob on my hand Yuck It has the most unsettling smell horrid in fact It smells and looks like hair gel for an old woman s pink tinted hair poodle permanent It has a very powdery sweet top note with an underlying scent of hair gel or curling chemical It was so annoying I had to wash my hands I used it on my body as the instructions stated but never lasted even one hour before I had to jump in the shower and wash it off Interestingly as I was writing this review a male friend walked up and I asked him to smell this skin gel and tell me what it smelled like He wrinkled his nose and said it smelled like hair gel My recommendation stay out of the sun or stick with a nice standard drugstore aloe gel Rose Ispahan perfume sample packet After the atrocities of these products there was no way I was putting the perfume samples on my skin I did however open the packet of Rose Ispahan perfume just to be fair What can I say Gross Extremely

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Yves Rocher report by Heather S of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I discovered Yves Rocher products when I was on assignment with a cosmetics company in Germany I was doing research and came across Yves Rocher one of our biggest competitors in Germany Yves Rocher is a direct seller much like Avon Jafra and Mary Kay but also has its own retail stores and beauty spas in Europe much like Elizabeth Arden or Bath and Body Works I had to find our more about this line Yves Rocher is a botanically based line with great packaging and unique products lavender effervescent foot soak tablets toxin eliminating herbal teas and bath products in pretty bottles The line is very comprehensive including makeup fragrance body products anti aging products acne products and even a skin care line for those with plain old normal skin The prices range from 4 95 for hand creme to 23 95 for cellulite smoothing products Like I said the packaging is very nice and very European in style This very popular line is based out of France and is sold all over the world Yves Rocher is now penetrating the US market headquarters in Champlain NY and is really doing it right When you place an order you receive a personal customer number and almost always receive a free gift of some sort and tons of samples when your order arrives Yves Rocher also sends you a free gift on your birthday They know that Americans like free stuff and lots of it I am currently doing research on their products and have just started out with one of their skin care lines As I test out more products you ll be the first to hear about it I encourage you to check out the Yves Rocher web site and request a free catalog The initial catalog you receive contains introductory prices on everything you can try out products for next to nothing and all of the products are 100 guaranteed Request their Green Book of Natural Beauty catalog to check out all of their products for 1998 Bio Calmille Bio Calmille is Yves Rocher s skin care line for sensitive skin I would not say that my skin falls into the sensitive category all the time however I have had my share of red blotches on my face and products that sting when applied This line would definitely work for those with sensitive skin whether dry combination or oily The products contain chamomile and betaine two elements known for their calming effects This line is fairly comprehensive with eye makeup remover eye cream and masks for dry and oily skin made especially for sensitive skin Gentle Cleansing Lotion 6 7 oz for 9 95 This creamy cleansing lotion is very gentle and removes makeup thoroughly and leaves the skin soft and smooth I would not recommend it for the eye area it burned just a bit You can either tissue or rinse the product off I preferred to tissue and then rinse as the product left a bit of residue on my face if I didn t tissue it off first The fragrance is very light and should not be bothersome to the skin YR also makes a gel cleanser for those with normal to oily type skin Soothing Alcohol Free Toner 6 7 oz for 9 95 This toner is alcohol free yeah and works very well to remove any remaining traces of makeup or cleanser It is very cooling and should feel soothing to the skin Again it contains a light fragrance but that should not cause a problem Long Lasting Day Cream 1 7 oz for 12 00 This day cream is rather nice and did not make my skin oily I have combination skin and this surprised me a bit It smooths on well feels like it will be heavy at first and then absorbs well into the skin The fragrance is very light and pleasant The only drawback is that it contains no sunscreen you would have to wear foundation with an SPF to get any protection I would also say that this product is more for those with dry skin it might be too heavy for oilier skins Other Products Tried So Far Bioptimale Intensive 24 Hour Moisture Lotion for body 6 7 oz for 9 95 This product is supposed to be time released moisture for the body I used it right after shaving and it absorbed well into my skin and felt nice However I did not especially care for the fragrance and my legs didn t necessarily feel hydrated all day I think that the Nivea lotion for extra dry skin pink flower on bottle works better is cheaper and has a much more pleasant fragrance I just purchased the YR Firming Body Lotion so we ll see how that one works Soin Beaut Revitalizing Hand Cream with Almond Oil 1 7 oz tube for 8 95 I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of this product Soin Beaut is a whole line dedicated to hand and nail care and was a bit disappointed when I actually used it The fragrance does not smell like almonds but more like powder It did go on well but seemed to exfoliate my skin when applied After rubbing my hands together with the product some of my skin seemed to slough off in little pieces I don t know if this is supposed to happen but I will probably not use the product again because of the strong fragrance Riche Creme Age Defense for Hands with SPF 6 3 4 oz tube for 16 00 This hand creme is designed to diminish age spots and protect with an SPF of 6 This would be a much better hand creme than the one listed above since it protects as well as hydrates but I don t know if it is actually worth 16 00 You could probably use a less expensive sunscreen on your hands and achieve the same results Even though sunscreen is important my favorite hand cream will always be Nivea Creme the really thick stuff in the round blue case or tube This is the best stuff and everyone in Europe uses it it smells great too True Colors Lengthening Mascara 9 95 I got this as a sample in my first order and really like it It is hypoallergenic comes in four colors black brown black brown and granite and did not clump and I apply 3 coats It is basically fragrance free easy to apply and easy to remove Mascara also comes in thickening and waterproof formulas

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Yves Saint Laurent report by Melinda of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Yves Saint Laurent offer two lines of blushers the Variation series which I tried are presented in small gold compacts with the YSL logo on top Inside there s a mirror a very small square of blusher and a tiny square sponge applicator Like most everything in Yves Saint Laurent s world style rules over substance While I do not condone the hefty price tag for such an infinitesimal amount of makeup I do believe that the feel good factor of using an Yves Saint Laurent compact cannot be surpassed Well possibly only by Chanel but I haven t tried Chanel and doubt I ever will You ve got to draw the line somewhere The small patch of blusher is a work of art in itself variation refers to the four tiles which alternate between shimmery blush and matte blush which you can then use separately or blend together using your face as a canvas If there were ever an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art on makeup presentation surely this would be part of the display To Simply Try or To Buy I cannot really say I recommend Variation blush but I do say to women who need to flex their plastic try it and if you like it buy it Sure you can go down to the local chemist and get a nice blusher for far far less money but well if you think like that you re just missing the whole point of Yves Saint Laurent If I had a makeup brush for every time I saw YSL s Touche Eclat concealer as an Editor s Favorite in magazines I d have no need to buy brushes ever again Touche Eclat comes as a pen with a brush tip you simply click on the button and concealer is squirted out of the barrel into the bristles Quite fun to use actually I tend to have shadows on the sides of my nose in the hard to reach dimple part if you know what I mean you might have the same problem so this was the first area I tried Touche Eclat on Result It worked well for me in this region and was very easy to blend using the brush on the pen Next I tried concealing the shadows under my eyes and I m sorry to report that Touche Eclat was not such an outstanding performer for this purpose It just didn t give me the kind of cover I needed Touche Eclat is promoted as having light diffusing particles to bounce light off of your skin and thus make it appear less shadowy but I found I wanted something more substantial more opaque for under my eyes As they say your mileage may vary and depending on your skin tone and what it is you re trying to conceal you may get better results but I can t say this is a good all round concealer SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics SPONSOR

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Yonka report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Gentle Foaming Cleansing Gel 26 for 6 8 ounces This gel cleanser has some fairly gentle cleansing agents in it so it doesn t dry out the skin too much but the essential oils orris root lavender geranium are a bit strong and irritating especially when used on the eye area I didn t find it to be anything special and would not recommend spending the over 20 price tag Lotion Alcohol Free spray toner 22 for 6 8 ounces Thankfully the essential oils lavender geranium rosemary thyme cypress in this product weren t as irritating to my skin as those in the cleanser I like the spray aspect of this product especially for sensitive skin less friction but the oily afterfeel leaves much to be desired I can picture using this more in the winter not now that it s summer Fruitelia Age Free Renewing Lotion 42 for 1 7 ounces For some reason cosmetic companies have not figured out that people don t have just one fixed skin type It is entirely possible for someone to have dry acne prone skin or oily sensitive skin all at once This is yet another cream for dry or sensitive skin that is chock full of comedogenic ingredients stuff that can cause pimples This is also not a real AHA since fruit extracts like the ones in here bilberry sugarcane sugar maple orange and lemon have not been proven to be as effective as glycolic or lactic acid the real AHAs For dry skin the corn soybean and sunflower oils will feel nice and provide decent moisture but you won t get much exfoliation For more

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Youngblood Skin Care report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel After trying Youngblood s mineral makeup I was curious about their skin care They have a fairly small range of products which is a nice change from so many lines that have 5 different creams that all supposed to reduce wrinkles I found some definite favorites here that may be worth trying if you are looking for something new Sudsing Cucumber Gel If you have normal to oily or oily skin this is a nice choice in foaming cleansers It s not too drying removes makeup fairly well and leaves the skin feeling fresh Personally I can t use it too often on my sensitive combination skin I get dry and flaky but it is a nice pick me up once in a while at the end of the day or in the shower Papaya Enzyme Scrub I LOVE this scrub Even though my skin is sensitive to certain ingredients I always love a good scrub and my skin seems to look better when I exfoliate regularly This scrub has small waxy beads and fruit enzymes in a creamy base that I have found works well on just about any skin type Keep this in the shower instead of regular cleanser and your skin will be glowing every morning Stimulating Toner Youngblood has two toners one with witch hazel this one and one without the one below I like this toner as a refreshing change from so many toners with alcohol a big no no in my book The long list of plant extracts including cucumber lemon grapefruit orange lime rosemary mandarin sage clary geranium lavadin galbanum and citronella are surprisingly subtle and I found non irritating I would definitely recommend this toner Refreshing Toner For my more sensitive skin days I prefer this toner to the one above because it s simple and no frills The chamomile and ginseng are subtle and soothing and I definitely appreciate that it s alcohol free Oil Control Hydrating Fluid I wish I could say I liked this lotion but it has way too many comedogenic potentially acne causing ingredients like algae extract isopropyl palmitate octyl palmitate sesame oil stearic acid glyceryl stearate SE and triethanolamine This lotion is like an acne time bomb I also have no idea how this lotion could have oil control properties with sesame oil so high on the ingredient list If you have problem skin and use products with ingredients like these you may be perpetuating the problem without even knowing it Thanks to Sage Skin Care for their comprehensive chart to acne causing ingredients located at http www zerozits com article6 shtml inglist Nurturing Primrose Complex For dry skin this cream is a really nice blend of essential oils and extracts like primrose ecchanacia hemp st john s wort kola kelp tea tree green tea rose and grapefruit I had no acne problems with it and

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Youngblood Skin Care was created by Pauline Youngblood a paramedical aesthetician who worked for 8 years for dermatologists and plastic surgeons with an interest in problematic skin She regularly met patients who had cosmetic needs that were not being met by regular products so she began working with chemists on a formulation of micronized minerals and pigments to create her own concealing powder The result was a lightweight foundation powder designed to be versatile and long lasting The Youngblood line has since grown to include mineral blush and most recently eye shadow Youngblood products are designed to work on any skin type because they are lightweight and natural with coverage that is easy to control Natural Mineral Foundation Loose Powder 29 95 This loose powder is designed to be your foundation concealer and finishing powder all in one It comes in 14 natural looking shades from lightest cool beige to deepest mahogany and is supposed to work well for all skin types The application techniques included with the powder are fairly involved basically to help you get the best results I found it did take me several tries over a period of about a week to get the color and coverage just right I experimented with ivory neutral and barely beige and finally settled with neutral as the best color for my skin I also switched between applying the foundation with a powder brush and applying it with a sponge and I found that a combination of the two techniques worked the best I now use the powder brush for all over coverage first then I go back with a little powder on the sponge to cover more difficult areas like blemishes and broken capillaries Since the powder is designed to be versatile you can even mix it with a moisturizer or water to create liquid foundation or concealer I mixed a small amount with some eye cream to create an undereye concealer the finish was lighter and less powdery than using the dry powder alone For my normal to dry but also acne prone skin I found the foundation covered well but didn t look heavy or thick and thankfully it did not dry my skin out a natural concern with most powders It did take me some time to get the application just right so I didn t get shiny by the end of the day a result of applying too much powder but once I got it figured out I really like the look and lightweight feel of this product better than many ordinary foundations I ve tried especially for covering blemishes Compact Mineral Foundation 32 50 Take the loose foundation mentioned above add a little talc and press it into a compact and you get Youngblood s Compact Foundation It s available in 10 shades ivory neutral barely beige soft beige honey warm beige rose beige toffee sunglow coffee and hazelnut and has a slightly matte finish which is nice for normal to oily skin Crushed Mineral Blush 15 95 A light dusting of one of these pretty mineral blushes over my Youngblood foundation completed the fresh and natural look I was hoping for with these products This loose powder blush comes in 6 shades dusty pink coral reef plumberry my favorite of the bunch cinnamon adobe and cabernet that are lighter and more translucent than most ordinary blushes Just like the foundation you simply tap some of the minerals into the lid of the jar your hand or on a tissue swirl in your brush to pick up the color and apply Compared to the department store brand blushes I normally wear Bobbi Brown Christian Dior Lorac I really prefer the sheerer glowing look of these minerals Crushed Mineral Eye Shadow 14 Youngblood recently introduced brand new loose mineral shadows and I have mixed feelings about them As a sleep deprived new mom steadily approaching 30 my eyes are starting to look shall we say less than youthful The last thing I want is a wrinkly looking eyelid and unfortunately that is what a few of these colors did to me particularly the ones with a touch of gold Here are shade descriptions Moonstone shimmering white Alabaster natural beige Peridot light green gold Golden Beryl golden shimmer Fire Opal copper pink Cashmere rich taupe touched with gold Granite light nude bronze Sedona rich red brown Azurite soft slate blue with touch of green Heather Smoke smoky purple Irish Moss rich olive green gold Morganite soft pink shine On a positive note the texture and blendability of these shadows are very nice and they wear well throughout the day I d recommend choosing the softer shades like Alabaster one of my favorites Azurite or Sedona For more information about Youngblood mineral cosmetics check out their website at http www ybskin com or call 1 800 216 6133 You can

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Urban Decay report by Connie of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I am so excited about this review I have been looking forward to telling you about some new cosmetics that I have tried from Urban Decay Urban Decay is funky to begin with but this makeup was just so much fun to use I felt like I was playing dress up and I am 30 YDK Nail Enamel 9 50 This product comes in a vile that looks close to what tooth pain medication comes in It is a glass vile with a black lid and a brush attached to the inside of the lid The lid that holds the brush is a bit small and kind of hard to hold which does not help with the application of the polish Other than that this is an awesome polish I was a bit leery of the color gold with sparkles in it but once I had the polish on it was really great looking The gold is not that bright on the nail and the sparkles are not obnoxious they are fun The polish lasts forever and made my nails really strong I had the polish on for about a week without any signs of chipping This is definitely worth a look and I plan on purchasing other colors Eyeshadow 14 in Crash Midnight Cowboy and YDK The product comes in a cardboard box wrapping with funky lettering and catchy phrases My favorites were ingredients femininity danger and fun pigment intense shimmer and sparkle shades incredibly blendable very versatile and when you open the lid the best phrase we don t do animal testing how could we Whoever is doing their packaging is one smart cookie The eyeshadow comes in a cool tin with a pull off cap The shadows are wonderfully fun and full of color Each had their own amount of shimmer and sparkle to them but it was not overwhelming and looked great on I have worn these colors to work and not looked foolish They are subtle yet eye catching colors that really blend well I did not have a creasing problem either but I always use powder under my eyeshadows to avoid this YDK is a great metallic bronze shade that looks great with the polish Midnight Cowboy is a light fun taupe color I also used Midnight Cowboy over my blush at night to give it some sparkle too Crash is a great deep purplish wine shade with lots of sparkle to it I used this at the base of my eyelid around my lashes and it added great flair I have really enjoyed these colors Lipstick 12 in Jekyl and Hyde YDK and Uzi This comes in the same style cardboard box wrapper as the eyeshadow does The lipstick is in a standard tube style container that is metallic silver I definitely liked the lipsticks They were not the same boring colors that I am use to They were long lasting did not bleed and blended well with the lip liners They were also not drying to my lips YDK of course goes well with the rest of the YDK line It is a great frosty cocoa color that really pops out on my lips I used this mostly for day wear Jekyl and Hyde was my favorite It has one side that is a frosty dark bronze color and the other side is this cool silver frost color I used the bronze first and then applied the silver over that What a cool look It was like my lips were highlighted in the middle Great evening color when you have a fun night out planned Uzi gave me that extra zing on my lips This is definitely not for everyone but I had fun using it It is a silver lipstick with tons of sparkles in it that get transferred to your lips I used this over Jekyl and Hyde for that extra pop It went on really easy and was not hard to remove Eye Pencil 12 in Soot and Meltdown This product comes in your standard pencil stick with a funky silver color and design on it Soot is a true black pencil that glides on beautifully I kept it really sharp and it drew lines like a breeze It never once creased in my eyelid or ran down my face Meltdown is a great purple color that looks smashing with the Crash eyeshadow Purple is a bit odd for an eye pencil but again the color did not look odd on my face In fact it enhanced my eyes Unfortunately Meltdown is rough getting on the lid and under the eye and had a tendency to break apart with application Lip Pencil 10 in Midnight Cowboy and Roach Great Scott this is a great lip pencil Both colors went on smooth without breaking apart and lined really well without pressing hard The colors are wonderful and go with most of my brown shades of lipstick I used Roach with Jekyl and Hyde and it was a perfect match I am a big liner fan and this product really lasted a long while However Midnight Cowboy is identical to MProfessional s Spice I really liked it but I have Spice already You can find Urban Decay at urbandecay com Right now the site is not accepting orders because the company is relocating However you can purchase their products from eve com Sephora and Nordstrom review 3 00 SHOP

Botanika Chamomile Cleansing Milk Choose a toner or freshener that feels soothing and doesn t dry your face This means no alcohol If you have oily skin that stays oily through the winter look for a toner with witch hazel instead for a thorough clean without the harshness For every skin types choose a toner that contains water binding ingredients like glycerin sorbitol and sodium PCA and soothing

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER FEBRUARY 97 WINTER SKIN CARE TIPS Winter creams and potions When the temperature outside starts to drop do you feel all the moisture drain from your skin It s not too late to change your skin care routine to keep you looking healthy and radiant just in time for spring Why should your skin care routine change with the seasons Well you wouldn t dream of wearing a bathing suit in 20 degree weather so why would you use the same skin care products in the winter as you did in the summer Combination and even very oily skin can turn dry and flaky when the thermometer dips Already dry skin often needs extra care to protect and soothe it So what kinds of changes do you need to make to keep your skin happy Use a gentle cleanser that takes off all your makeup Gentle means that it doesn t burn or sting and it doesn t leave your face feeling taut Choose one that takes off all of your makeup and rinses off easily with warm water For this time of year unless your face is very oily consider using a lotion or milky cleanser rather than one that foams or lathers The foaming agents can strip the moisture right out of your skin Lotions take getting used to but they make dehydrated skin feel much softer Use a toner or freshener that feels soothing and doesn t dry your face This means no alcohol I like to have my toner in a spray form because it feels refreshing and I don t have to drag that cotton ball across my face which ends up soaking up all the toner anyway Pre packaged spray toners don t have to expensive you can easily take any toner and pour it into any spray bottle Heavy creams are good just be careful on your face Heavy emollient products are great as a barrier from the cold for your hands and body but if it s greasy using it on your face can cause breakouts on even the driest skin Use a good moisturizer with an SPF 8 15 sunscreen during the day and if you need to a more emollient cream at night Treatment products like alpha hydroxy acids and vitamin creams are also a nice treat at night You still need to exfoliate but be gentle Scrubs and peels might be fine in the summer when skin tends to be oiler but during the winter an alpha hydroxy product makes a better exfoliant than a scrub AHAs gently loosen dead skin cells rather than physically scraping them off The right mask can make dehydrated skin feel like new Soothing facial mask Choose a mask that replenishes the moisture you lose from being outside or from too much dry heat Hydrating masks are great for a quick rush of moisture for thirsty skin just make sure it s not too greasy Gel versions are a good choice for both dry and more combination skin Don t neglect the rest of you Indulge in body lotions and moisturizing bath oils and crystals to keep your skin smooth and soft all over Make applying a body lotion or oil after bathing part of your daily routine Choosing the right skin care products is not an easy task In choosing my own skin care for the colder season I must have sampled a dozen different lines before I made up my mind and it has even changed multiple times since then Take the time to find a good fit and by all means get samples when you can Here are a few of my personal favorites to get you started Alpha Hydrox 8 Lotion or 5 for Sensitive Skin Aveda All Sensitive cleanser toner and moisturizer BeneFit Seaweed Mud Mask Body Shop Hydrating Moisture

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Victoria s Secret Makeup report by Lisa of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I was lucky enough to be at the mall on the first day that Victoria s Secret cosmetics were available so I decided to check out the much hyped line The sales associate make up expert was very anxious to explain every product to me in great detail umm do I really need to hear the purposes of lipstick and makeup remover Anyway I was a bit unhappy that I couldn t play in peace but I did end up with a few products Liquid Lingerie Oil Free Foundation This actually is not a bad foundation I got color 4 which works fine for me but is a tad less yellow than I am used to Actually it looked quite yellow in the store compared to some of the other colors but when I got home and compared it to my Bobbi Brown Sand foundation it looked more peachy The foundation does provide medium coverage and a matte texture It is not super drying like some of the long lasting foundations and it was quite easy to blend I like the product overall but I suggest that you bring along your regular foundation when you test this one out to help keep the colors in perspective Seamless Cover Oil Free Cream to Powder Makeup This is a fairly nice product I bought color 2 note that the color numbers for liquid foundation cream to powder foundation and pressed powder do not really correspond the 4 shade in the cream to powder was way too dark for me but 4 in the liquid foundation was fine The product is fairly creamy and blends quite nicely if your skin is moisturized The first time I tried this foundation I was unmoisturized and had a patch of dry flaky skin on my chin Yikes Applied without moisturizer this foundation made the dryness look much worse and the coverage on my whole face was patchy I washed it off added a layer of moiturizer and tried again This time it looked quite nice The color was peachy but very yellow based and the coverage was medium to full I did not use the cheap thin sponge included in the compact but instead I used a wedge sponge After applying the foundation I also used the product with a concealer brush to touch up some redness in my face It worked well Powdered Silk Finishing Powder This product is average The compact is pretty but the color selection could be better They need more yellow shades I got 2 a peachy color with a bit of yellow Again it looked more yellow than it really is when I examined it in the store Bring along your favorite compact and compare the colors before you buy Luckily I have some redness in my yellow undertoned skin so these purchases worked fine for me The powder itself pretty much functioned as a powder should it provided a matte smooth finish Matte Kisses Lipstick I bought this lipstick in Spiced Clove a nice pink brown shade actually it s heavier on the brown I love it It goes on softly and smoothly but it looks matte It also lasted for hours on me The color and texture are both winners There are quite a few lipstick formulations in this line I probably would have bought more lip items if the sales associate would have backed off and allowed me to play Exaggeration Mascara This is the line s lengthening mascara It is supposedly water resistant and smudgeproof I do like this product It really made my lashes stand out dramatically I personally have not had a smudging problem with it but I doubt that I really put it to the test Take It All Off Makeup Remover This product is average it does remove makeup and it does leave the skin soft I d be willing to bet that it s a knockoff of Clinique s Take The Day Off I ll use it but it s nothing spectacular Ok now for my conspiracy theory about this line Does anyone else find it odd that Victoria s Secret carried Philosophy products for a very brief period of time the same period of time that they were developing their own line of makeup It seems that some of their products like the colour palettes are very much based on Philosophy products in terms of color and content Just a thought SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER MARCH 98 VITAMIN THERAPY Check your local drugstore or makeup counter these days and you ll find that vitamin packed moisturizers and treatments are becoming as common as alpha and beta hydroxy acids Both vitamin A and C face creams promise everything from improved clarity to diminished wrinkles Are these wonder creams really for you Conveniently packaged in individual use capsules Avon s Anew Formula C Facial Capsules 19 00 for 30 capsules one month supply deliver a pre measured dose of vitamin C in a silky cream base Vitamin C is an anti oxidant vitamin that helps repair and prevent future damage to the skin by the sun and pollutants in the environment like smoke For the first two or three nights my sensitive skin did experience some tingling but it was quickly replaced with a healthy glow and improved clarity For me improved clarity meant those little red spots that hang around even after a pimple is gone were actually diminished After just two weeks my skin has a more even tone and feels smoother For Formula C visit Avon online Vitabolic Lancome Vitabolic Deep Radiance Booster 45 for 1 ounce is different from most vitamin C serums on the market Lancome has stabilized vitamin C in a gel creme form that is lightly moisturizing Vitabolic s vitamin C helps repair and prevent damage to the skin by the sun and pollutants in the environment like smoke Ginseng stimulates and increases skin s resistance to stress while ginkgo improves skin tone which gives the skin an instant rosey boost I use it under my makeup in the morning and it really makes me look more refreshed and awake One drawback If you flush easily or have rosacea this rosey effect might not be for you so test it on your skin at the Lancome counter before you buy Philosophy Hope and A Prayer topical vitamin C 45 is the most unusual anti oxidant product I ve tested Unlike other vitamin C products I ve tried you actually mix Hope and A Prayer fresh every time you use it the kit comes with a bottle of vitamin C powder and a bottle of oil free liquid solvent great for any skin type and made with algae and ginseng extracts Not only does this method ensure the vitamin C is stable but it allows you to choose how strong you want it to be If you ve tried vitamin C products that made you break out were too weak or too strong Philosophy s Hope and A Prayer might be just what you re looking for For an exfoliating and wrinkle reducing treatment that really does work Avon Retinol Recovery Complex 17 50 is definitely worth trying especially if you have sun damaged skin lots of fine lines or even deep wrinkles Retinol a vitamin A derivative works to gently exfoliate dead and damaged skin cells replacing them with fresh new cells This sloughing action can make wrinkles less severe and reduce splotchiness age spots and sun damage My main objective in using the Retinol Recovery Complex was to reduce some of the redness I ve had in my cheeks from living under the Florida sun for four years After using it every night for just over 2 months my skin felt smooth and actually looked less ruddy This lightweight cream penetrates very quickly and is light enough that you can use your regular moisturizer over it if necessary While the major benefits are definitely more long term if you have sun damage or noticeable wrinkles that bother you this cream might just give you the results you are looking for Diminish I am not easily impressed but I saw results with Estee Lauder Diminish Retinol Treatment 47 50 for 1 ounce after just two days On developing wrinkles around my eyes and those stubborn red spots left over from healed blemishes Diminish made my skin look smoother and more translucent in the first few days After several weeks of use my skin tone is more even with fewer red blotchy areas The Retinol vitamin A in Diminish is encapsulated in collagen to be gentle so there s less chance of irritation great for someone with sensitive skin Diminish is rather expensive at almost 50 an ounce but for its traditional lotion texture soothing green tea extract and impressive results I would recommend it to anyone looking for a smoother complexion SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT This week s

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Prescriptives report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel As many of you know I have become a diehard MAC Studio Fix fan over the last year or so After years of being fed up with the way liquid foundation looked on my face Studio Fix quickly became my one and only foundation of choice Recently I received several email inquiries from readers wondering what I thought of Prescriptives Virtual Skin liquid foundation Of course my first reaction was Liquid foundation Are you crazy I decided to accept the challenge anyway and give the product a proper test Let me interject here to say that I have used Prescriptives cosmetics before and found the color printing system to be a joke I have been colorprinted three times now each with a different result How can I believe anything they tell me if they can t even get my color family straight For those of you who aren t familiar with color printing let me explain A Prescriptives makeup artist looks at your skin color chooses a suitable foundation from each of their four color families yellow orange red orange red and blue red and puts a stripe of each color on your cheek They believe the color that disappears the best into your skin is the right color family The problem with this system is that it is subjective Each makeup artist can and will have a different opinion about which color she thinks looks the best If she thinks a more pink toned foundation will liven up an olive complexion then that s what she chooses whether it is really the best or not Not exactly fool proof if you ask me Prescriptives Exact Color My first colorprinting said I am yellow orange Prescriptives believes most women fall into this category The second time I was blue red because they said I have more cool undertones in my skin than warm The third and most recent time when I tested Virtual Skin determined that I am red orange Which one should I believe It really all comes down to what looks the best The makeup artist I worked with this time was very knowledgeable and understood my confusion She explained that some people myself included just don t fit exclusively into one color family over another While I did have the best luck with the Virtual Skin red orange color called Real Vanilla all of the other red orange colors eye shadows lipsticks blush looked terrible on me What does this all mean No matter what line or formula of foundation you choose make sure it really matches your face It is the most important product to get right So what did I think of Virtual Skin I think it is the best liquid foundation I have found for my skin type After using my sample for four days I found that Virtual Skin is best for someone with normal to oily or combination skin the product is a gel cream and contains no water so if your skin is dry you will probably have terrible time getting it to spread and blend properly I also found that it looked much better either with a very light dusting of loose powder or no powder at all Too much powder made the coverage cakey and dry The coverage is more natural sheer to medium and does a so so job of concealing dark under eye circles by itself I think I would prefer a separate concealer for that purpose Overall I think Virtual Skin is a good product that I would seriously consider as an alternative to powder based

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Ultima II report by Judy of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel JC Penney s is a good quality store and I frequent it a lot for housewares linens and sometimes even clothes depends on the store But I usually don t buy makeup there since they don t carry the higher end cosmetic lines But they do sell Ultima II In the late 80 s I had my first experience with Ultima II products While I frowned upon their skincare line I enjoyed all of those neutral nakeds that they offered in their makeup collection This trip to Ultima II was quite surprising pleasantly so I approached the two salesgirls at the counter and told them I had an appointment for a makeover They were in their early 20 s ah fresh budding makeup artists They actually worked well together as a team After successfully removing my eye makeup and foundation with Ultima II s eye makeup remover and a product called Going Going Gone it was time to try their new skincare line Going Going Gone is a makeup remover but I noticed she had to use it several times to get a minimal amount of makeup and a dusting of powder off my face The new Vital Radiance series incorporates beta hydroxy acids a step up from its sister alpha hydroxy acid which supposedly leaves the skin brighter and very moist But before applying that to my face I inquired about the serum I saw on display A vitamin enriched product Booster Shot is just that it boosts the skin leaving it more smoothed out and softened to diminish lines Worn under the moisturizer it s a perfect product for keeping skin protected from east coast winters Booster Shot is not part of the Vital Radiance series It is a product of the Interactives skincare and is not a new product to Ultima II but what a find it is Once my skin was set for makeup the Wonderwear line of Ultima II took over I had tried the Wonderwear foundation before and really liked it They liked 2 Neutral on me as Neutral Warm was too yellow and Neutral Cool was too pink They used Wonderwear concealer under my eyes over Vital Radiance eye cream and Brighten Up Tighten Up eye cream I love using two eye creams I am 43 and have no wrinkles around the eyes and I really believe that it is because I ve used eye creams since I was 25 The combination of the two creams left the eye area soft and moist even after six hours The canvas was ready and the second sales person decided she would do my eyes My features are dark which means I can wear almost any colors They really took the time to see what colors would look best on me They also offered me some Valentine red hot hearts so there we were all munching on these candy hearts as I was being made beautiful You would not find this in Saks A mix of a few light shadows followed by Wonder Bronze Wonder Pearl were used on my eyes lined in grey liner I like a thick line on my upper lid since I have a lot of lid to work with Nakeds cheek color 5 was applied and gave my cheeks a warm rosy brown glow The look was pulled together with the new Beautiful Nutrient Lipcolor in Beyond Bordeaux This is a nice conditioning lipstick rich in moisture and actually good for your lips Because I am such a sucker for a good deal I decided to try the cleanser and toner for dry skin The duet was being sold as a special for 16 50 for two full size containers The shadows lipstick and blush went together so well I decided to buy them too My favorite purchase was the Booster Shot and the Vital Radiance moisturizer with SPF 15 I was hesitant about the Interactives cleanser and toner duo because the cleanser contains mineral oil I will try the skincare for a full week so if any of you are curious as to how it cared for my skin or if I had any reactions feel free to email me after a few weeks As a bonus the girls gave me a free Wonderwear lipstick in a beautiful plum color The Wonderwear lipsticks are the long lasting type and it went on very creamy and smooth I felt that I got a good value for the money I spent Interactives Cleansing Cream and Toner limited offer 16 50 Interactives Booster Shot 28 50 Vital Radiance Skin Perfecting Lotion 22 50 Nakeds Cheek Color 16 50 Wonderwear Eye Color 15 50 Beautiful Nutrient Lip Color 13 50 They were sure to take my name and address to put me on a mailing list and I said I would be sure to stop by in the future to try another

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Urban Decay report by Kanita of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel About three years ago I started using nail polishes from Urban Decay and at that time the line consisted basically of nail polish and few a lipsticks Well times have changed and the line has expanded and is still one of my all time favorite brands As a makeup artist I use many different brands of makeup and I have found that the quality of Urban Decay s products stand up against any other I know that the colors may sound bizarre my favorite nail polish is Roach but the colors are great Sandy Lerner who functions as the CEO of Cisco Routing Systems founded the company Since she was unable to find nail colors aside from the normal colors such pinks and reds she decided to make her own alternative colors in greens blues and purples I know for many of you green and purple nails and lips may sound garish but that s what makes the line fun This line is not for the shy or timid makeup wearers by any means Many of the colors are not of the ordinary but the quality of the products are extraordinary and reasonably priced Today Urban Decay has almost a full line of cosmetics consisting of Nail Polishes 9 Awesome intense nail colors that last Not much more to say Body Haze All over shimmer sticks 18 Body shimmer that can be used on the face as well as shoulders legs and other body parts you want to glow Shadows Potholes 14 These are excellent A fabulous array of colors and the staying power of these are outstanding The shadows can be applied sheer or layered for intensity and the textures shadows are really smooth and easily blended The ability to easily intensify the colors makes them great for every complexion The potholes can be applied either wet or dry and used as eyeliners I even worked out one day wearing Route 66 Pothole and it stayed on through the sweat and tears Eye Gunk Liquid Liner Mascara Eye Pencils 12 Great eyeliner and mascara colors for a funky night out and your basic black and brown a k a roach They wear nicely and I like to layer one of the colors over black so that you don t look totally ridiculous The eye pencils have a great texture not too soft and not too hard They are self sharpening can be used on lips and also wear very well If you choose to use one of the more fun colors like Shattered a shimmery light turquoise apply along the base of the lashes smudge it in really well and top it off with black mascara Keep the rest of the eye nude or apply a neutral color such as ABC Gum shadow on the lid Lipsticks 13 Lip Gunk lipgloss 12 A wide variety of colors from neutral to completely outrageous They have a satiny texture and intense color As with all Urban Decay products they wear fairly well without being too drying The glosses provide a high shine while delivering a major dosage of color They wear like most glosses but are also really conditioning for the lips Lip Pencils 12 Just like the eye pencils great textures and wearability Because they are self sharpening they are easier to blend so that you don t end up with that dreaded lip liner ring Actually I like to use them

Plenitude Turning Point facial cream I received the Turning Point Instant Facial Scrub free of charge Used together this duo is supposed to work as an at home facial treat that improves the skin s texture and leaves the complexion soft and glowing The first time I used the scrub it didn t seem to do much at all Upon carefully reading the instructions on the tube I discovered why I had used the scrub on my wet just washed face it is meant to be used on dry skin and left on for at least one minute So of course I tried again This time I felt a bit of a warm tingle and my skin felt very smooth after I rinsed my face My skin also looked a bit pink after using this scrub I followed the scrub with an application of the Turning Point facial cream The instructions say that this cream should only be used at night so I expected the cream to be a strong treatment product It wasn t It felt very nice on my skin and made my face smooth and glowing It just seemed like a really nice moisturizer with BHA Overall I liked these products but I feel that they would be better suited for dry or sensitive skins My oily skin can handle a stronger grainier scrub like Clinique s and for some reason I enjoy a stronger scrub If you have avoided scrubs in the past this could be a great one to try The facial lotion is nice and creates a smooth pretty glow SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Trucco Stardust Baby Spring 2000 report by Gayle of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Sebastian makes great hair products so I was more than curious to try their makeup line Stardust Baby is a six piece makeup collection that will be available in March 2000 in salons that carry Sebastian products It features a holographic color collection a sparkle loose powder one blush and 3 Divinyls Lip glosses You can visit their web site at sebastian intl com to learn more about these products Angel Face Holographic Colour Collection 25 Five shades Angel Gold Angel Blue Angel Red Angel Violet and Angel Green are in one slim compact These shades carry no color pigments but are holographic color pearls that go from white to bright when the light reflects off them You can use them on the face cheeks lips and eyes I used Angel Gold on my upper eyelid and Angel Green on my lower eyelid and found the colors appeared when the light hit my face If your eyelids are oily I suggest you use a translucent powder first otherwise the pearls do not blend well I had a unique fun look but felt this product would be better suited for a teenager or for an evening on the town This is a totally unique concept in makeup but I was not truly impressed with it Rock Candy Sparkle Loose Powder 16 This translucent powder sparkles when the light reflects off it I liked this powder because it is matte and matches every skin tone It goes on easily and really gives the skin a shine that looks almost wet If your a lover of loose powder this one s for you So Shy One Blush 12 This blush is definitely pink But when applied to your cheeks it leaves a light hue of color One Blush has a totally matte finish and is very soft looking I really like this blush but feel it would be good for cool skin tones only Divinyls Lip Glosses 8 These come in 3 shades that would match any skin color VivaVegas a coral color with a tangerine scent BabyDoll looks and tastes like pink cotton candy and CyberLiscious a silverized lavender color that tastes like grapes These lip glosses made my lips feel very sticky but I liked the subdued colors and the incredible glossy shine I ve tried other lip glosses but they did not make my lips feel this sticky It must be due to the oils petrolatum paraffin and beeswax that they contain I was not very impressed with this product Overall if you want a futuristic face for the spring this line would be perfect For me I think I ll stick to the classic colors that I have learned to love and can use in my everyday life

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Trish McEvoy report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel One of my favorite cosmetic activities besides getting samples is having my makeup done When you find a good artist with a nice line you not only have fun and feel pampered but you can pick up a few handy techniques and color ideas I had one of those great afternoons recently at Portland s very first Trish McEvoy counter The Trish McEvoy line had been fairly hyped up in my mind as just another boutique line like a knock off of MAC or Bobbi Brown It was supposed to have great brushes but that was all I ever heard about After my experience at Trish I think this line is a definite contender in the world of higher end cosmetics The artists are knowledgeable the product quality is great and the color selection is good and growing The one thing that stood out right away as my makeover session began is that Trish McEvoy is known for makeup brushes for a reason not only are they very nice and come in tons of shapes and sizes but every product and technique has a brush to go with it For someone who isn t used to using brushes this can be a bit overwhelming and may make you feel like you can t achieve the look without them Thankfully the regional artist from San Francisco who did my makeup didn t push me to buy anything and even gave me tips on how to use the brushes I already own in new ways Of the products she used on me I liked the Face Essentials Kit the best For 35 you get a blush which can also be used as eye shadow two eye shadows and a powder liner in a handy mirrored compact Each of those items bought separately would cost almost twice as much so this is a great deal if you find a kit of colors you like and would use My other favorite product was the lipstick color 74 a light raspberry red color The texture was great and the color actually lasted most of the day with out touching up which I couldn t do anyway since I didn t buy it The only product that almost worked for me but missed the mark by the end of the day was the creme powder foundation I think if my skin were a bit drier it would have worked since the coverage and color 2 were beautiful but by evening it looked shiny and a bit cakey around the eyes Overall I would definitely recommend a visit to a Trish McEvoy counter near you to get your makeup done see what you think of the products and learn a few techniques More Trish Reviews Natural Tint Foundation Oil Free 35 00 Unlike most oil free foundations I ve tried like Bobbi Brown oil free and Laura Mercier oil free this one from Trish is very fluid not thick and spreads very easily without caking or drying too quickly The coverage is enough to hide what you want to hide without looking or feeling like a mask If you ve got oily normal to oily acne prone or even combination skin oily T zone normal cheeks this is a great foundation choice Essential Cleanser 37 00 for 8 ounces This cleanser has the identical ingredients as Cetaphil lotion cleanser a popular gentle skin cleanser that runs about 7 for 16 ounces at most drugstores Don t waste your money on this completely ordinary product If you need a gentle cleanser for dry or sensitive skin and you don t wear much makeup get Cetaphil instead Glycolic Lotion 37 for 2 ounces The Glycolic Lotion was a nice enough AHA lotion but not worth 37 Philosophy s The Damage Is Done Alpha Hydrox Avon Anew or Neutrogena Healthy Skin could all do the job just as well for a lot less money Exfoliating Mask 30 for 2 ounces For an all over oily skin type sometimes a clay mask is just what the skin needs to feel clean and refreshed This one from Trish McEvoy will do the job to absorb oil and leave the skin with that super clean feeling While this mask is a fine choice I have a hard time recommending that anyone spend 30 for it unless for some reason you really believe in what the Trish McEvoy line is all about My old favorite Sea Mineral Mud Mask from Garden Botanika is just as good for a lot less money you can get a 4 ounce jar for only 12 50 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Tova report by Deanna of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I know that many of you may think that I never leave my house to shop however I can assure you that this is just not true But given the increasing popularity of shopping at home I figure why not you never know It s like finding a really great restaurant in a back alley tucked behind a laundromat The prices are reasonable and the food tastes fabulous It such a coup Especially if you find it before the connoisseurs tell the general public about it Then a huge corporation buys the great little restaurant Mom and Pop retire to Florida and meanwhile the food begins to taste like cardboard I m sure you understand what I mean With this in mind here is my review of Tova Cosmetics After reading Lisa s review of the products I was a Cosmetic Connection reader long before I was a panelist I purchased from QVC the Tova 18 piece Color and Fragrance collection For the price of 46 00 plus shipping and handlin g I got 5 eye shadows a highlighter 2 blushes 3 lipsticks eyeliner mascara and a lip pencil The collection also contains a 1oz bottle the Tova Signature eau de parfum and samples of Body Mind and Spirit and Tova Nights fragrances Eye shadows and Highlighter In this particular collection there are five eye shadows and a highlighter The highlighter is an ivory ecru color The other colors are Desert Taupe a light gray beige Desert Plum a medium purple Dusty Rose a beige pink Blue Slate a navy gray and Expresso a dark medium brown To me these color appear to have a distinctly blue undertone so they look muddy on my skin even with the addition of an eye shadow base They go on fairly sheer and require a bit of build up for good color Another thing to watch for with these eye shadows is that they contain quite a bit of mica so although they are not frosted in my opinion they do tend to age my eyes by calling attention to my wrinkly eyelids On my oily skin I found that the shadows tended to crack and crease after about four hours of wear although I did get better wear using an eye shadow base The colors are neutral and they would be fairly acceptable colors for professional daytime wear just better perhaps on a younger less wrinkly eye Blush in Desert Spice and Desert Rose Personally I liked the Desert Spice color better than the Desert Rose however both colors tended to be a bit ashy on my skin Although these colors did not look as muddy on me as the eye shadows like the eye shadows I did need to layer it a bit thicker than I normally would to get good color on my cheeks The blush held up fairly well throughout the day however I needed to touch up a few times The blush also contains quite a bit of mica and isopropyl myristate a comedogenic ingredient so this may not be the best blush for the acne prone I found that I developed quite a few blackheads in the cheek area after wearing these blushes for the week Lipsticks in Pink Sands Desert Rose and Peach Sands Of the entire collection I think I liked the lipsticks best The Desert Rose color turned out to be for me the perfect nude lip color The lipsticks lasted well although I did need to reapply them after eating lunch The packaging is pretty black with wide gold bands so I wasn t embarrassed to pull the lipstick out of my purse when I need to reapply it Eyeliner in Coffee and Lip liner in Sienna Both of these pencils were pretty unremarkable The colors are nice the Sienna is a warm rust brown and the Coffee is a dark brown Both colors are matte The lines are soft The lip pencil tended to fade out about as easily as the lipsticks did so it too needed to be reapplied after lunch The eyeliner lasted throughout the day Mascara in Black Although this mascara has a really nice brush an extra full Christmas tree type I did not find product to be particularly thickening or lengthening The mascara formulation is a little goopy and tended to clump on me quite a bit however wiping the brush did help that problem I found it to be a decent everyday mascara even though it did tend to flake on me towards the end of the day Well there you have it Okay so these products didn t turn out to be the perfect ones for me And maybe it wasn t a coup However these colors and products would probably be better for dryer fairer skin with classic winter or spring coloring You do get a lot of product for the price so if your skin is within the afore mentioned parameters and you re operating on a budget this line may be one that you d like to look at Tova

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Tova report by Lisa of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel In my never ending quest for new beauty websites I came across www beautybytova com This website is somewhat new and quite impressive For starters you can request free samples of Tova fragrances The Tova fragrance collection includes three scents for women Tova Tova Nights and Body Mind and Spirit and one fragrance for men Handsome I found all of the fragrances to be pleasant refreshing and not too heavy The free samples are a great idea and help prevent costly mistakes In addition to her famous and award winning fragrances Tova also offers skincare haircare and cosmetics From the skincare collection I sampled the Cactine Masque Cactine Skin Renewal Cleanser and Cactine Beauty Bar All three items worked well on my oily skin I used the Skin Renewal Cleanser first to remove makeup then cleansed with the Beauty Bar My skin felt clean and soft The Cactine Masque was refreshing and left my skin smooth and rosy From the haircare collection I tried the Cactine Volumizing Shampoo and Cactine Volumizing Conditioner These items worked exceptionally well on my fine hair and also had a wonderful scent Finally I sampled some of Tova s cosmetics The lipsticks lipliners eyeliners eyeshadows and mascaras are reasonably priced 7 12 50 and perform well The color selection is quite limited and includes mostly neutrals but I prefer browns and pinks so I was happy with the choices Tova s selection of foundations and powders is also quite small but the quality is good Her Foundation Duo comes in only three shades but the idea is to blend the duo into your perfect shade The colors were simply not yellow based enough for me but the texture and coverage were nice Tova s Pressed Face Powder only comes in one translucent shade which would probably work for most fair skinned individuals Overall this website is worth a look Tova has many innovative products that are reasonably priced

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Almay report by Melinda of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I like to think I m realistic about skin products aimed at diminishing wrinkles I know they won t work miracles I know they won t work overnight and I know that I ll probably be the only one to really notice any difference to my skin I don t expect my husband to suddenly burst out Gee honey you look so much younger today nor do I expect people at work to think I m 19 when I m really 29 It was with these assumptions that I started using Almay s Time Off Revitalizing Serum an alpha and beta hydroxy acid serum which is supposed to smooth wrinkles and even out the skin tone It was recently launched in the United Kingdom where I live and was promoted as being a very popular product in the demanding American beauty market with stocks selling out initially Now I must make a further disclaimer just in case some readers were still hoping against hope for a fountain of youth for 15 to a starving man an apple is a feast In other words no Almay s Time Off Serum did not restore my skin to its pre wrinkle condition but I did see some changes which were very exciting for me A verticle line above my lip which I thought was there to stay almost disappeared My crow s feet around my eyes were made less noticeable My skin tone become more even and my blemishes the small ones that only I would really notice were less obvious Overall I would strongly recommend this to women who are in the market for an AHA serum at a budget price One note to readers who have sensitive skin Almay does warn that if any redness begins to appear to discontinue use immediately which is a standard warning for AHA skincare products SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Too Faced Cosmetics report by Nava of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I first spotted Too Faced s funky nail polishes at Henri Bendel s I loved the old fashioned bottles with the mischievous eyes painted on them The colors were brash and brazen with kitschy names like Trophy Wife Love Hangover and everyone s favorite Marcia Marcia Marcia A line of lipsticks soon followed I stumbled across Too Faced s website www toofaced com recently and saw they expanded their line to include eye shadows and lip glosses Upon further investigation I saw the colors looked pretty interesting They were also offering free shipping Much more convenient than trekking back to Bendel s Here s what I ordered Hoochie Miss Thing Lipsticks 13 50 each Hoochie is a shimmering mauvey brown A little edgier than I expected but very flattering Miss Thing is pearly beige that does a good job lightening up darker lipsticks I wouldn t suggest wearing this one by itself unless the pasty look is what you re going for Both lipsticks tasted faintly of chocolate and had good staying power Bauble Gloss Rings in Lolli Bubble 12 00 each These are just the cutest little plastic rings They lighten up your cosmetic bag by transforming your lip gloss into jewelry Surprisingly the colors are very wearable and taste yummy Bubble is a peach flavored frosty peach color and Lolli is a coconut flavored shimmery lilac Both look great on my fair skin Slip N Slide Gloss Compact 13 00 In the compact the color of this gloss looks almost identical to Hoochie lipstick but it goes on sheerer and subtler This immediately became one of my favorite lip glosses It tastes like a Mocha Latte and looks even better George Weezie Duo Eye Shadow 13 00 One side is a frosty bronze the other a pearly beige I must emphasize the word frosty in my description These shadows do not shimmer they sparkle They really made my hazel eyes pop but I found this look to be too dramatic for daytime However take George Weezie out for the evening and they ll make sure you look great Glamour Puss Purrr Single Eye Shadows 11 50 each Glamour Puss is a shimmering mauvey taupe and Purrr is a matte eggshell Purrr is a great all purpose highlighter and Glamour Puss is perfect for a polished unfussy daytime look Trophy Wife Love Hangover Nail Lacquers 9 50 each Love Hangover is a burgundy red pearl and Trophy wife is an in your face red with red sparkles Both equally dazzling on manicured fingers and toes Too Faced is the most fun I ve had with make up in a long time They ve struck the perfect balance between funky and wearable You can actually do both with this line which is what makes it so appealing In keeping with the Too Faced attitude Beauty is a Curse Take your 15 minutes of fame every 15 minutes and invent yourself I didn t make this stuff up it s on the packaging Happy Shopping SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Too Faced Cosmetics report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Far be it for me to ever imply that cosmetics can be boring never but every once in a while it s nice to find something unique and colorful something that isn t a basic brown shadow or a plain beige lipstick Too Faced Cosmetics has that something different that can put a little fun back into your everyday makeup routine Created by former Estee Lauder regional makeup artist Jerrod Blandino and former Chanel and Estee Lauder business manager Jeremy Johnson Too Faced is designed to bring fun and fanatasy back to the makeup counter Here s what the line offers Lipstick 13 50 I love the fun off the cuff names of these colors marcia marcia marcia pixie stick miss thing you re no lady hoochie drop dead red you get the idea I chose marcia marcia marcia a really pale pink shimmer from the prom queen collection and you re no lady a medium neutral mauve from the drama queen collection On my fair skin marcia marcia marcia works pretty well by itself with a nude lip liner it s pale but has enough shimmer to have some character You can also layer it with a darker shade for a different look For lipstick lovers this is a fun addition for creating new colors with those you already have Another interesting tidbit about this lipstick it smells like chocolate If you ve ever used cocoa butter lotion this lipstick smells tastes exactly the same Yum As an everyday shade I liked you re no lady better It reminds me of the infamous MAC Twig only with a bit less brown The creamy texture feels almost like lipgloss very smooth and moisturizing Eye Shadow 11 50 Too Faced has three eye shadow collections glitter soft sparkle and silky satin Although many of the shades appear vibrant in the pot they are actually light and blendable and can be layered over neutral shades to give your eyes a little more oompf I chose zsa zsa a bubble gum pink from the glitter collection and time bomb a medium lavender from the silky satin collection Other shades include astro turf temper temper dirt bag and ice queen just to name a few Since the shadows are rather sheer at first I applied my colors lightly for a subtle look Even though pink is hot this spring season it s just not my thing for eye shadow makes me look tired and sick so zsa zsa while very pretty shade is not a color I would normally wear Maybe for little color pop on the browbone or as an accent over a neutral beige I could see this color working for me Even if you are the type to shy away from purple eye shadow time bomb is worth considering This sheer lilac shade is subtle enough in one coat to work for light to medium skin but punchy enough with a little layering to work on darker skintones or just for more pizzazz Nail Lacquer 9 50 This polish comes in 8 eye catching colors like love hangover red metallic with red shimmer sigmond green with gold glitter and tiara hot pink with gold glitter I chose something on the subtle side martini a light blue gray with silver glitter Alone or over a perky pink or dramatic berry this is a pretty versatile shade I can see wearing again and again For

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Tony Tina report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Therapeutic Eye Base 22 If eyeshadow creasing or fading is a problem for you an eyeshadow base is sometimes the best way to get the color to stay put This one from Tony Tina comes in one shade a medium peachy flesh color and does a decent job as an eyeshadow base It also works well as an under eye concealer I can t say it s very therapeutic though the apple extract vitamins and cucumber that are hyped up in the product description are pretty far down on the ingredient list actually listed in the may contain section I didn t find that it did much for puffiness nor is it particularly refreshing All in all a decent base and eye concealer review 2 00 Multi Purpose Face Colors 9 each With so many cream blush and eye lip cheek cream color options it s nice to see each new one be a little different from the rest These cream colors from Tony Tina are designed to fit into a refillable mirrored compact 10 holds 6 colors and two mini brushes making them portable and easy to mix and match The creams are lightweight and feel almost powdery when they set on the skin which works well on cheeks and lids and feel like a stain for lips I recommend applying the colors with your fingers as the enclosed brushes are small too thick and rather scratchy I like the idea of this compact and many of the colors like Bliss pale pink Happy rose and Joy raspberry are very pretty but I just don t think I would use them very much While 9 for each color seems reasonable to me if you buy the compact and all 6 colors to fill it you re quickly up to 64 rather spendy to use only on occasion Now that I have mine I ll make an effort to use it but I wouldn t spend for it again review 1 00 Frequency Eye Shadow 18 I picked up this shimmer shadow duo in Romance Happiness light pink and light brown from indulge com These shadows are touted for their vitamins and botanicals that are supposed to make you look awake and refreshed but please don t believe all that They are simply nice shadows that last well through the day and come in a nice selection of colors from neutral to vibrant I had a little creasing by the end of the day 7 8pm and a fair amount of fading so if I were to go out at night I would retouch Nail Color 10 I run hot and cold with nail polish sometimes I use it every week then not again for months so when I decided to paint my nails recently and found most of my bottles were old and goopy I was glad to have a new bottle of Sociable a pretty light pearl pink from my eve com Hanukkah gift set This color is stunning and has a very shiny finish You also get the color that you see in the bottle with just one coat I do not mind spending 10 a bottle

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Tony Tina report by Deanna of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel The philosophy behind this cosmetic line is a little unique and therefore I think it bears mentioning Tony and Tina both believe in the use of color and aromas to influence our lives and energy levels Given the proper colors our chakras or energy centers can re energize and renew themselves They believe that even the packaging of their products can influence a person positively or negatively so they take great pains to ensure that the packaging is aesthetically pleasing as well as practical Although I am not a practitioner of color therapy and aromatherapy like most people I am familiar with the concepts so I thought I try this product line Here s what I bought and what I thought of it Tony Tina Therapeutic Eye base 22 What actually drew me to try this product was the fact that it has a more flesh toned color than most products of this type I usually hate eye shadow bases because they do not take into account different colors of skin however I wear them because my wrinkly eyelids and oily skin tend to crease and eat my eye makeup This product is a winner in my book simply because it of the color However this product also suggests that it can decongest eyes as well as remove puffiness Neither of these things is a beauty concern of mine so I cannot attest to whether or not this product can perform these functions however I can say that the product contains cucumber extract cukes are known to help puffy eyes ginseng neroli frankincense black tea chamomile and Vitamins E C and A Tony Tina Frequency Eye shadow 18 Frequency refers to the electromagnetic vibrations of color these eye shadows are supposed to influence Tony Tina currently offer about 12 or 13 different color combinations of eye shadow The compacts have two colors and have very Zen sounding names like Faith and Surrender browns Duality and Illusion hot pink and turquoise Dreams and Schemes black and gray Being and Being white w blue undertones and white w gray undertones Macro and Micro navy blue and sky blue and several others I chose Mind and Matter which is shell pink and chocolate brown These products are very well pigmented and lasted well with or without the eye base personally I think they are worth the price I was very pleased with this product however the combinations of colors that I would personally buy is pretty limited I think that many these colors would probably be more suitable for a younger person teens and twenties versus a 30 like me Tony Tina Lipstick 15 Tony Tina offer several formulations of lipstick lipgloss and lip balm I chose Vital a warm cherry red lipgloss because I like Heather adore reds The first thing I noticed about this lipstick was that it has a very strong herbal smell The reason for this is that it contains lavender bergamot rosemary rosewater aloe and Vitamin E It also contains St Johns Wort supposedly to give a mental uplift I couldn t get past the smell of this lipstick and the idea of this aroma under my nose all day really put me off Also the idea of medicinals whether naturopathic or conventional in my color cosmetics did not sit well with me So although I loved the color of this gloss and many of the other colors Tony Tina offer I cannot recommend these lipsticks They may be better for someone else just not for me Tony Tina Nail Polish 10 Although we don t normally review nail polish at Cosmetic Connection I thought that these products deserved an honorable mention Tony Tina offer three formulations of nail polish transparent dull and regular I chose Brainology one of the transparent formulations a chocolate brown color Although I had to layer three coats of this product to get an effect that I liked the color lasted a long time at least a week with no retouches Keeping in mind that I am a student who writes and types a lot plus I am a new mother and wash my hands constantly this is phenomenal I would highly recommend these polishes and think they are worth the 10 price tag Overall I d say this is a great product line However it may be targeted for a younger group of individuals Tony Tina cosmetics are available at Sephora Nordstrom and eve com They also have a website at tonytina com where you can learn more about their philosophy and their products Happy

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS T LeClerc report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel For what feels like years I ve been hearing about T LeClerc powder and wondering how anyone could spend that much upwards of 45 a tin for something so basic Loose powder seems like such a simple proposition but I can t believe how many brands have disappointed me Most don t control shine well enough and some even seem to create it I don t even have oily skin and I notice this oil control problem On the urging of one of our Panelists I decided to finally take the plunge and go LeClerc I have been using Bobbi Brown s loose powder in Pale Yellow for way too long by my quick change standards so I knew it was time for a change The LeClerc powder comes in both pressed and loose forms but to be perfectly honest if you re going to spend this kind of money go for the loose Loose is a better overall makeup tool for setting foundation and concealer Since I ve been using a very yellow based powder for a few years now I couldn t imagine getting something pinky or beige so I chose Banane in the LeClerc loose shades This is some yellow powder Dare I say too yellow Even with my fair skin I have to be careful not to go crazy with the powder or I will look like a ghost Had I not bought the huge 115g container I might consider getting another shade that is more of a natural skin tone Color selection aside the LeClerc powder texture is amazing light sheer soft smooth and never powdery or cakey You could easily use it alone without foundation for a natural but slightly matte look I like to press some into my concealer under my eyes and on my eye lids to set the concealer and it works great on concealer over blemishes to keep the makeup set and smear free Since I don t have oily skin I can t speak for the oil control power of LeClerc but it does offer a nice matte finish and thankfully doesn t dry out my sometimes dry skin review 9 09 99 SHOP Get what

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS T LeClerc report by Nava of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Women with oily skin the world over will back me up when I say it is imperative that a powder compact be with you at all times Not just to check for that pesky poppy seed or piece of spinach lodged in your teeth but to sop up the oil that s sure to appear on your face as the day goes by I ve tried many brands of pressed powder I ve even carried a particular brand of loose powder with hopes it would erase my shine It exploded in my handbag As with skin care finding the ultimate pressed powder has been something of a mission I ve tried countless brands only to have them cake streak turn orange and pool in the enlarged pores around my nose and on my chin I d read about T LeClerc for years before I tried it It wasn t widely available One day when I wandered into my local Barneys I spotted the now familiar wheel showcasing the myriad shades of loose and pressed formulations The selection of loose shades outnumbers the pressed but I was compelled to try the pressed formula I didn t want to ruin another bag The first shade I tried was Banane It s a creamy pale yellow that s supposed to counteract ruddiness in fair skin tones It is not meant for very fair skin like mine After one application I resembled Casper the Ghost My ideal shade ended up being Ivoire a pale yellowish beige LeClerc compacts are nothing short of stunning Esthetically they are everything you could possibly want in a compact they are sleek sturdy scratch proof and close with a loud satisfying click I even keep the velvet pouch they come packaged in The powder is fine silky and goes on as sheer as a gossamer veil It doesn t cake or gather in my pores It erases shine beautifully The only downside is that if you are excessively oily you must reapply it fairly often I ve been known to buy three or four compacts at a time On average one will last me about three to four weeks This turns into quite an expense since each compact is 45 and is not refillable Since there is no such thing as the perfect pressed powder I m sticking with T LeClerc for now Happy Shopping SHOP Get

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS T LeClerc report by Lisa L of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel It has always been my belief that the primary focus of makeup should be creating the most perfect looking skin possible Every woman wishes she was born with great skin and didn t need foundation concealer or powder to achieve it However the reality of it is that our stressful lives questionable eating habits and pollution all contribute to tired looking skin that breaks out or gets dry and flaky A smooth flawless complexion helped along with all the aforementioned can make all the difference in the world when applying color With these things in mind I am pleased to offer my review of T LeClerc Loose Powder I had been reading about T LeClerc powder for a few years now After seeing it in the InStyle best makeup buys spring issue every year for the past three years and hearing the raves about the product from women everywhere I decided to try it out T LeClerc is a French company that has been around since 1881 Their powder has been world renown since it was discovered by people outside the Belle Epoch Finding the powder is no easy task I had to order it from a store in Austin TX called Beaux Visage because I couldn t find it in my home state of Ohio Thankfully they have a very nice website www beauxvisage com that explained the color choices very clearly What amazed me was the color variety 20 colors that range from everyday colors to specialty corrective colors like soft lavender and yellow yellow is apparently the choice of stars such as Sharon Stone if that interests you at all It comes in both loose and pressed form My skin is quite pale so I chose Camellia a soft peachy pink color in the loose form This color promised to enhance the brightness and fineness of the complexion I was absolutely amazed with the quality of this product This powder is ultra fine and Camellia did add an amazing lift to the color of my complexion my skin has a real yellow undertone As far as shine goes one touch up during the day kept my skin matte I prefer to use only concealer and powder and use foundation only when it is absolutely necessary This powder made my skin look better than any foundation ever has While it isn t cheap prices range from 45 to 60 this is definitely one of those cases where you do get what you pay for I would highly recommend this powder as one of the necessary components of your makeup collection SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Terax Haircare report by Elaine of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Terax haircare products are relatively new to the beauty scene even now that they ve come up from underground they re still mostly unknown As favorites of celebrities and salon spa owners worldwide these Italian made shampoos and conditioners are beginning to acquire a cult status that s making them the latest must haves These are the Terax products I have tried and what I thought about them Shampoo Miele 8 4 fl oz about 13 This honey scented shampoo fortified with vitamin E is super gentle and is formulated for use on dry hair and or hair treated with color or chemicals It made my hair silky soft and shiny and I love the smell of honey Pricey but a little goes a long way The bottle says it can double as a body wash but I d rather use it just on my hair Shampoo Delicato 8 4 fl oz about 14 This shampoo also is extremely gentle and I like to alternate it with the Shampoo Miele Nothing particularly special about this one but again it does leave hair smooth and shiny and I probably would use this post color or process Latte Shampoo 8 4 fl oz about 14 Mmmmmm yes it really does smell like a latte This deep cleansing yet gentle shampoo has its delicious scent going for it more than anything else but I still like it very much Another winner Crema conditioner 5 oz about 18 also comes in a 16 9 oz jar for about 48 The first time I tried it I wasn t too impressed But now I m really into this very moisturizing conditioner When used with one of the Terax shampoo treatments the Crema softens hair like nothing I ve ever tried before it s also a great detangler I haven t had any split ends since I started using Crema and even my hairdresser noted how healthy my hair looks since I ve been using it I like to leave it on for about 10 minutes in the shower so it can really penetrate the hair shaft I m not crazy about the smell which is more shampoo y than yummy like the Miele or the Latte but it still gives hair a nice soft fragrance Again a little of this goes a long way Good thing too cause I m hooked Teragloss 1 oz about 15 This is a serum type treatment meant to be applied to dry hair although I guess you could work it into wet hair too to control frizzies and flyaways and lend a little shine It does make hair very shiny without looking greasy as long as you don t use too much but I didn t find it to be much different than any other silicone based shine enhancer I ve tried And I like Aveda s Purefume Brilliant Anti Humectant Pomade much better for fighting frizz I doubt I d buy Teragloss again Where to Buy Terax Terax hair care products are available at Bliss Spa and its Bliss Out catalog at http www blissworld com call 1 888 243 8825 toll

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER APRIL 98 SELF TANNERS You know you need to protect your skin from sun damage but after a long and dreary winter you re probably thinking a great tan could really perk things up You can get that warm summery glow without damaging your skin with self tanners I ll be the first to admit that I was petrified to test self tanning lotions on my pale skin for fear of turning bright orange Thankfully technology has come to the rescue with a new generation of sunless tanning products that actually make your skin look good I decided that if I was going to take the plunge I should start with the one that I heard was the best Clarins Self Tanning Milk with SPF 6 Women s magazines have repeatedly named it an Editor s Choice product and now I know why Clarins made my skin a smooth golden brown like I d just been on vacation in the Bahamas Clarins Self Tanning Milk comes in only one color so it tans your skin according to how dark you are naturally and you can build from there to the color you want I found it really easy to apply and it smells terrific A definite winner My second try at a tan was with Physician s Formula Sunshield Sunless Tanning Lotion with SPF 20 This lotion was easy to apply absorbed quickly so you can get dressed in about 20 minutes and didn t streak at all The color I got after one application was more golden yellow than the brown I got from Clarins but it still looked natural I also like the SPF 20 sun protection since you ll probably want to show off your new tan outside I have mixed feelings about Garden Botanika Sun and Sport Self Tan Lotion for the Body with SPF 8 The color I got was a nice golden almost brown that I think looks most like what I would really tan but there was one problem The lotion itself smells awful like stale bread If you don t mind the odor the color is nice and the texture is more like a traditional sunscreen so it spreads easily and absorbs quickly This wouldn t be my first choice to buy again but it s still a good product For my final test I chose Clinique Self Tanning Body Balm on the recommendation from the saleswoman that it would be the most natural looking of their self tanning products Most of their others she said result in fairly dark color that might not suit someone who either hasn t tanned before or who has fair skin I wanted something subtle that wouldn t scream LOOK AT MY FAKE TAN That subtle color is just what I got with this product The pump dispenser is great for easy application and the balm itself is more moisturizing than most self tanning lotions I ve tried which is nice for dry skin SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics SPONSOR

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Sundari Skin Care report by Nava of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Sometimes I need a break from all the multistep skin care lines Cleanser toner serum moisturizer eye cream etc Applying all those products gets to be quite a chore Most of the time I m content to pamper myself with all those steps I find it therapeutic and enjoyable But there are those late nights and harried mornings when I just want to wash my face slap on some moisturizer and be done I heard about Sundari being one of the featured lines on Bergdorf Goodman s new beauty floor Then I read about Christy Turlington s creation of the line in January s Glamour magazine Sundari a Hindi word meaning beautiful woman is a small line consisting of products designed to cleanse replenish and moisturize When I spotted sundari com at the end of the Glamour story I felt the urge to surf Sundari is based on Ayurveda This is an ancient Indian theory that says your skin is a direct reflection of your physical and mental health I can certainly identify with that How many of us can honestly say that illness and stress have never affected how our skin looks You choose Sundari products based on your dosha Your dosha consists of your combined mental and physical characteristics There are three doshas Vata air Pitta fire and Kapha earth You answer a few questions at Sundari s website to determine your dosha I am Kapha which coincidentally corresponds with my astrological sign Taurus I guess there s no denying my earthiness The following products are recommended for Kapha skin Lemon Cleanser for Kapha Skin 25 for a 4 oz tube A heavy duty exfoliating cleanser containing visible bits of powdered apricot seeds Although it is pretty abrasive I ve used Lemon Cleanser repeatedly and have not experienced any breakouts It works well to remove makeup dirt and oil from my face leaving it soft and comfortable Essential Oil for Kapha Skin 60 for a 1 2 oz bottle This is the replenish step There are three different blends of oils for each dosha The Kapha blend consists of Sweet Almond Safflower Lavender Rosemary Peppermint Basil and Cloveleaf oils It also contains Vitamin E Tocopherol and Retinol As an oil phobe I was skeptical of applying oil to my oily skin Surprisingly a few drops smoothed over my face absorbed very quickly without any residue This blend is supposed to purify balance and nourish an oily complexion Cornflower Oil Free Hydrator for Kapha Skin 52 for a 1 7 oz jar A basic moisturizing lotion for oily skin It does not contain any AHA s or BHA s just botanical extracts I really like this moisturizer despite its hefty price tag and lack of newfangled ingredients It compliments the cleanser and essential oil steps and leaves my skin soft and hydrated When I use it at night I wake up grease free and smooth It also provides a good base for makeup In addition to the three basic steps the following products are also suggested for Kapha skin Gentle Gel Cleanser 28 for a 4 oz tube A basic cleansing gel containing aloe chamomile witch hazel and other botanicals It foams up nicely and removes makeup without stripping moisture but 28 is a steep price tag for this product Save your money T Zone Control Treatment 30 for a 1 oz bottle A clear alcohol based gel that does double duty as a blemish treatment It contains Salicylic Acid Camphor and Witch Hazel As far as oil control treatments go this is pretty unimpressive As a blemish buster it works fairly well but not worth the cost for such basic ingredients Overall the Sundari products recommended for my dosha are nothing more than basic skin care They are pleasant to use and I like them but this line is not for the budget conscious If you feel like splurging look for them

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER JUNE 98 SUNSCREEN FAVORITES One of the most important and easiest steps you can take to protect your skin is to use a sunscreen every day As great as the sun is its rays can do some nasty damage to your skin like brown spots sunburn wrinkles and acne Applying a sun protection product of at least SPF 8 preferably SPF 15 can significantly prevent this damage and keep your skin looking younger and smoother longer With so many products on the market from drugstore and surf shop brands to the more expensive department store lines choosing one that not only works well but also feels good on the skin can be overwhelming Here s a handy guide to a few of the best sunscreens for your face Estee Lauder DayWear SPF 15 For my normal to dry skin I love the DayWear medium weight cream It soothes and protects with hyaluronic acid and an anti oxidant blend of green tea extract grapeseed extract rice bran extract and vitamins E C and beta carotene Now that DayWear comes in both cream and lotion versions it s a great choice for any skin type Basis Face The Day Lotion SPF 15 Although this lotion is labeled for normal to oily skin it actually leaves the skin more dewy and supple better for somewhat dry skin Face The Day has SPF 15 sunscreen and anti oxidant vitamins making it a real find for around 8 at drugstores Lancome Bienfait Total SPF 15 I ve found this to be an all around great product for just about any skin type The lightweight fluid absorbs quickly leaving no overly dewy residue behind I ve used this lotion both when my skin was normal to dry and normal to oily and had no problems with breakouts dryness or greasiness A bit spendy at 30 for the small size but it should last at least six months with daily use Coppertone Oil Free Waterproof Sunblock I would have never considered using Coppertone on my face until I discovered this oil free lotion You can choose from SPF 15 or 30 depending on your skin s needs and the lightweight lotion absorbs quickly leaving nothing but protected skin behind For everyday or your next vacation in the sun Coppertone oil free works great for under 10 at most drugstores and supermarkets Kiehl s Ultra Facial Moisturizer SPF 13 For drier skin Kiehl s Ultra Facial Moisturizer is a great product to hydrate and protect your skin at the same time The lightweight texture is perfect for everyday wear and it leaves the skin moist without any residue which can often make your makeup bunch up or slide off Ultra Facial Moisturizer also comes in a non sunscreen version for night use Clinique City Block SPF 15 tinted moisturizer The color is very subtle but if you like that makeup free look for summer and you want an easy one step product City Block makes a great choice for normal combination or normal to oily skin types For weekend activities or for anytime when you re just not in the mood to put on regular makeup City Block is a nice alternative to regular foundation SHOP Get what you need plus

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Stila Cosmetics report by Sandi of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Stila Lip Polish in Luster 24 Stila Convertible Color in Magnolia 28 When I asked Sarah who works at the Sacramento Nordstrom Stila counter what was special about the products I was about to purchase she told me that nobody else offered a combo lip and cheek color She added that other cosmetic lines claim that they have one but they really don t I was actually looking for a different answer like it has a 15 or 30 spf or it stays on all day I ve read a lot about Stila especially in Allure and InStyle I know that it was created by Jeanine Lobell make up artist and wife of ER s Anthony Edwards and that almost every movie star and or celebrity uses at least some piece from the line So I was eager to try it so I could be one of the beautiful people too I really looked forward to falling in love with this line like the first time I tried MAC or Trish McEvoy I feel like an oddball and an old one at that but I don t really care for the products I tried The description that springs to my mind is Stila is a young person s line First of all I admit I may have bought the wrong colors I deferred to Sarah s choice for me usually I pick my own color no matter what the counter person recommends This time I did not The Magnolia did nothing for me The Lip Polish in Luster is quite nice if you like a lot of shine which I don t and very little cover which I do Next the packaging is too much work for my type A personality The Convertible Color comes in a small mirrored compact which I found a bit too difficult to open I do have longish nails so maybe that s why The compact is plastic pinkish mauve and made to look like old fashioned tooled tin When applied to my lips it is too light Also I am left with a sticky residue on my finger and have to find a tissue to get rid of it Give me a tube or wand any day As a cheek color Magnolia is alright except it is too much work to apply It has to be tapped into my cheeks because if I spread it with my fingers my skin becomes red I am not a fan of cream blushes to begin with Give me a powder blush with a brush any day The Lip Polish is shaped like a fat pen or a marker It has a removable cap at one end covering the application brush and the other end is twisted clockwise which sends the color shine down to the brush end It takes just a few twisting clicks and voila there it is However those few twisting clicks are a few too many for me but the application is nice The brush allows control when applying which I like The lasting power did not impress me The Lip Polish is great for applying at home but not for a quick on the run touch up Finally Stila is not shy about The Convertible Color is 28 which I guess isn t bad if you consider it as two products and the Lip Polish is 24 Having said all that I plan on trying some other Stila products I m not writing them off I ve heard great things about their eye shadow and the Lip Rouge which is color and liner in one sounds great SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines

down at Barney s on 60th and Madison I m totally hooked The colors are hip and wearable the textures outstanding Stila s Fade and Hint blushes Kitten Puck and Puppy eyeshadows Taupe and Blush lip glosses are among my all time favorite cosmetics Speaking of lip gloss I ve been a fanatic for as long as I can remember I think that first bottle of Maybelline Strawberry roll on lip gloss was what started it From there its bordered on obsession I m reluctant to admit just how much lip gloss I have and still keep buying My passion for lip gloss is what lead me back to the Stila counter at Saks Thankfully Stila is now widely available to suburban bumpkins like me I was getting a little tired of toting my lip brush around with various pots and tubes so when I heard about Stila s new Lip Polish I couldn t wait to try it True to form Stila s new Lip Polish does not disappoint It is the perfect marriage of sheer color and substantial texture The packaging ties it all together A sharp looking silver pen housing the color and brush applicator You twist the end until it clicks sending the color up through the brush Application is beyond easy You can line fill in and be done in mere seconds No messing around with tubes pots and brushes The spill proof packaging travels well Just click the cap closed throw it in your bag and you re off No worries about spilling glopping or ruining anything The colors are easy to wear and last fairly long Count on two to three hours under normal circumstances However Lip Polish will not be there after a meal The two best shades for my skin tone are Sheen and Luster Sheen is a light neutral pink mauve and Luster is a darker rosier pink Both are the perfect choices for a casual polished face There are three deeper shades that are equally suitable for fair and darker skin tones as well as clear At 28 each purchasing the clear Lip Polish is nothing short of extortion Instead may I suggest some flavored roll on lip gloss from the drugstore and maybe a few lottery tickets There are infinitely less expensive choices for when you need that clear gloss fix Overall Stila Lip Polish is a quick easy way to get great color and shine I ve said farewell to my lip brush at least for now Happy Shopping SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Stila Cosmetics report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Lip Polish 28 Although I think Stila is pricing this and the Convertible Color below a bit steep I do like the texture colors and delivery system of this lipcolor The lipcolor is inside a slim silver tube that has a lipbrush on one end a few twists at the base sends the color up the tube and onto the brush Christian Dior has a product like this too You can line and fill in with just a few strokes but what I like the best is the feel somewhere between a gloss and a lipstick It is my current lipstick addiction I have a tube of Brilliance a cool pinky nude in my purse and a tube of Luster a sheer medium rose in my vanity makeup bag Lip Polish also comes in Varnish Glaze Sheen and Shine Even if the price seems a bit much stop by your local Stila counter to at least try it on I think you ll like it as much as I do Convertible Color 28 I also like this dual cheek and lip color but I think Stila is off the mark with the price Between 15 20 would be a more reasonable range in my opinion Convertible Color is a creamy but surprisingly sheer wash of color that you can use both on cheeks and lips It comes in a very pretty small mirrored compact that is the same color as the product inside I had the pleasure of trying the 3 newest shades Orchid Poppy and Rose and found them all to be very flattering giving my skin a natural glow For me Convertible Color lasts longer on my cheeks than my lips but since the formula is so light I didn t mind putting more color on my lips to touch up during the day I was also surprised that I could put Convertible Color on my cheeks OVER foundation and powder without it caking or clumping This is a nice bonus since most cream blush has to be applied on bare skin which never works for me These new shades along with Camellia Magnolia and Peony are available now at your local Stila counter call 1 800 883 0400 for locations

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Stila Cosmetics report by Deanna of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I love cosmetics As a mildly acne prone makeup junkie I m always on the lookout for good cosmetics However my skin type skin tone and student s budget tend to limit me a bit I love to try new lines as well as visit some of the old standbys As a makeup junkie I enjoy department store lines however as a Business major I know that the majority of my makeup dollar is being spent on the rent of the space in the department store not always the quality of the cosmetics With that in mind here s my review of Stila Cosmetics Makeup artist Jeanine Lobell created Stila Cosmetics She offers a line of cosmetics that are fashionably correct environmentally correct and wearable The packaging is made largely of recyclable materials like aluminum and recycled paper Much of the product packaging includes interesting logos or memorable quotations Although there is not much here for darker women of color those of us with lighter complexions can find more than a few interesting items After my recent Prescriptives experience at Nordstrom I decided to buy my Stila products from Sephora Liquid Makeup in E 1 oz for 30 This foundation provides good lightweight sheer coverage It last fairly well requiring only one or two touchups before going out for evening As I said before as far as foundation colors go Stila is pretty limited for women of color however I was able to use Stila E for a fairly good color match In the summer I ll need to use Stila F or G However for 30 I expect a foundation to be non comedogenic I mean isn t that why we pay the high prices for good quality high quality ingredients This liquid foundation contains stearic acid and cetyl alcohol both comedogenic ingredients so this product may not be the best product for the acne prone Complete Coverage Foundation in E 1 4 oz for 40 This is a very well pigmented foundation It provides a more polished look than the liquid makeup It provides moderate coverage that last well thorough out the day requiring only one touch up before evening Like many other products of this type it contains silicon small amounts of aloe vera gel and whole wheat proteins Unfortunately it also contains stearic acid and cetearyl alcohol both comedogenic ingredients so it may not be the best product for the acne prone Again for 40 I expect a foundation to be non comedogenic Since the packaging is made from recycled materials what all that money for Illuminating Powder Foundation in 50 watts 22 plus cost of compact Unfortunately this foundation did not look good on me This product is supposed to leave a transparent luminous finish to the skin Although the color matched well on my skin the luminous finish translated into an ashy appearance It does contain a sunscreen with an SPF 12 however it just didn t look natural causing my skin to look gray It does provide sheer coverage and is lightweight but it does contain corn oil so it s not oil free This may not be the best product for the acne prone It did last fairly well for a powder foundation about 5 hours without a touch up Loose Powder in Dark 27 With this product I loved the salt and pepper shaker packaging It s great for traveling However I wasn t quite so enamored with the product itself This is a talc based powder that also includes mica and octyl palmitate Octyl palmitate is a comedogenic ingredient Mica tends to collect and illuminate creases and further age the appearance of aging skin like mine so I didn t find this product to be complementary Although it does provide a matte finish I did need to touch up quite often about once every couple of hours This product may be better for younger less oily skin than my own More than enough has been written about Stila eye shadows besides after my foundation shopping spree I really couldn t afford to buy any more products from this line on this particular trip They are great shadows particularly if you like or can wear shimmers I am personally beginning to get a little bored with the mattes and naturals so I do own a couple of Stila eye shadows however I use them mostly as liners or to create interesting evening effects They are continually adding colors however most of the current colors would be more complementary to the lighter skin tones versus the darker skin tones Stila also offers a fairly comprehensive line of lip colors priced at about 16 17 They offer great colors for both the fair and dark complexioned person however in my opinion they are a little pricey Overall I m pretty neutral on Stila I feel if I m going to pay this kind of money for products I should be getting better quality non comedogenic ingredients If you aren t acne prone this may not be a concern for you Besides nothing beats whipping out a high end compact in the Ladies Room and having everyone else ooh and aah Stila Cosmetics are available at Nordstrom Sephora and online at

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Stila Cosmetics report by Kanita of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I finally had the opportunity to thoroughly check out the Stila counter at Marshall Fields here in Chicago Unfortunately I was somewhat disappointed The makeup artist Nancy was extremely nice and seemed to not only enjoy her job but also take it very seriously Their eye and lip colors were interesting but to tell you the truth they were not worth the prices Stila charges Most if not all of the colors had a shade comparable if not identical to some of MAC s colors but MAC has a much cheaper price tags Let me first tell you what really disappointed me I was unable to receive the usual makeover because Stila has no foundations concealers or powders for African American skin tones When I asked Nancy why the foundation colors were so limited she honestly replied I don t know But she did add at the end of our session that Stila was planning on adding 4 new foundation colors to the line Also Stila currently does not have any skin care available in its line but plans on adding skin care sometime in the future Therefore to begin my makeover I had to use my own MAC Studio Fix in N10 their darkest color available Then we tried 7 eyecolors 4 on each eye Oasis Viola Pigalla and Ebony as a liner on the left eye and Kitten Urchen Haze and Ebony on the right eye The colors were nice however they were too frosty and shimmery for my complexion Even though Nancy tried using a light hand since all of the colors she used were frosts I left the store feeling too shiny MAC has a much better selection in eyeshadow colors and textures The liner however looked really nice but still it was just a basic black eyeshadow I could not see myself paying 14 00 plus 8 75 tax for a black eyeshadow when I can achieve the same results with a MAC 11 or even a Revlon black shadow 3 95 for that matter with a cheaper price tag We skipped blush because once again their colors were so limited none of them matched my dark complexion They either had too much white or too much orange For lips we tried Piaf Andie and Luce I liked all of the colors and the smooth creamy not too oily texture But once again am I willing to pay 16 00 plus 8 75 tax for a lipstick Well let s see Piaf Black Lily Clinique 10 50 These two were so similar I couldn t see the difference Andi Hyper MAC 13 00 These two are identical I had my MAC Hyper with me Luce Skew MAC 13 00 Once again almost identical The answer No Way Stila s prices are unneccesarily too high Another question I have regarding Stila cosmetics is this Stila promotes that fact that they use recycled cardboard and paper for their containers but then why are their prices so darn high It s definitely not due to packaging or quality The one thing Stila does have is reasonably priced brushes They range from 14 00 to 28 00 You could get a complete set of 5 brushes and a travel pouch for 80 00 On quality the brushes are pretty good for the average person or someone who is not too skilled in the brush area For someone who knows what they are doing they are not precise enough They come in a variety of shapes but the layering of the hairs or bristles is too sloppy Also too often a lot of hairs were left on my face after each application which lets me know that these brushes won t last a lifetime which they should nor are they well assembled All in all Stila has some nice colors but is an overpriced line that just isn t worth it SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Stila Cosmetics report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Stila is another one of those new boutique type lines that are getting so incredibly popular The main difference with Stila is its elusiveness Unless you live in New York Los Angeles Chicago or San Francisco you are just about out of luck Stila is not interested at this point in a huge expansion which makes it a bit tricky for most of us to see the colors I was lucky enough to be in San Francisco over Thanksgiving so I paid a visit to the Stila counter at Nordstrom The Stila resident makeup artist Don was doing free makeovers so of course I couldn t resist I had a really fun time and I think he picked some great colors for me The only thing was it was hard for me to justify spending 14 plus tax on eye shadow colors that I could probably get at MAC at home for 11 with no tax California has sales tax but Oregon where I live doesn t I decided only to purchase the one thing that I felt was different about Stila something that was a good representation of the line I chose a tube of their Lipshine lipgloss in Lilac Shine Here s a list of what I tried plus how I feel about them Oil Free Liquid Makeup 30 I think 30 is a little steep for foundation but this one from Stila did have a nice feel and looked very natural all day It is fairly light coverage blends well and leaves a natural looking finish If you have pretty nice skin to begin with and just need a foundation as a base or to even out some blotchiness this would be a good choice Complete Coverage Makeup If you have dry skin or just like a more creamy feeling makeup Complete Coverage is a great choice Although the name sounds like the coverage might be masky and opaque it really looks natural and provides just a bit more coverage than the Liquid Makeup Loose Powder Stila s loose powders comes in a great selection of more yellow based tones and they comes in a convenient shaker container that I liked very much Just shake a bit onto a tissue and dip your powder brush in it for easy application This powder could be a little dry for a very dry skin but for those of you with oily skin it does a great job Eye Concealer 16 This concealer seemed nice but Don applied it very lightly with their concealer brush which I think made the coverage a little thin Once I got to work with it on my own I liked the coverage very much great for dark circles For long lasting wear make sure to put a thin layer of loose powder over it to lock the color in Face concealer 16 For those miscellaneous red spots blemishes and even undereye circles that we all seem to get a some point this is a very nice concealer with great long lasting coverage I didn t think separate face and eye concealers were necessary until I tried them for myself the face concealer is too dry to use under the eyes while the eye concealer has too much slip for anywhere else on the face If you don t mind using two individual products the effect from both is worth it Blush in Fade neutral brown rose pink and Heat sunkissed earthy red tone 14 Almost all Stila s blush colors are soft and subtle great if you like natural looking blush colors Eye Shadows in Dune Puck Java and Viola 14 each Again these colors are very soft and pretty The environmentally conscious cardboard packaging and the little sayings on the lid from famous women in history make it fun and memorable More Shades Bouquet very light pink O Keefe soft lilac purple Kahlo light mint green Kitten shimmery pink peach pearl Eden matte brownish peach Lipshine gloss 16 for a 26 ounce tube I had the most fun with this product The consistency is creamy very shiny and comfortably moist It comes in some fantastic shades lilac rose taupe cocoa

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Sonia Kashuk report by Gayle of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel What s all this hype about Sonia Kashuk cosmetics Well I ve seen it advertised in magazines and the Target Sunday sale ad so I just had to drive over there and get me some The Sonia display was plain but modern looking The products available are foundation liquid and powder face powder pressed and loose blush cream and powder eye shadow lipstick and various makeup tools I chose the face powder eye shadow and lipstick Bare Minimum Pressed Powder 7 99 The color selection was very limited I chose Chiffon which is a light yellow based color I like the slim silver compact with the big mirror inside It s easy to fit in your purse and doesn t take up much space The color was a little too light for me but it did tone down the redness of my skin If you are looking for a good face powder this one may be it Enhance Eye Color 4 99 I LOVE this eyeshadow And the price is so right Again the color selection was limited but I found a couple of colors I just had to have I chose Moonstone which is a lovely brownish gold color and Gunmetal a grey color I ve been looking for an eyeshadow with long staying power and this is it I wore it with and without priming my eyelids and it lasted all day without any creases I like the little sleek silver compacts which have a little mirror inside too For the price you can bet I ll be buying additional colors to add to my already huge collection Luxury Lip Color 5 99 I had a hard time choosing the right lip color There were a lot of colors to choose from in both mattes and frosted I settled on Petal which is a mauvy pink color I really like the silver tube it came in I found I had to reapply often especially after eating and drinking My lips felt a little dry after using so I don t think this lipstick is highly moisturized This lipstick is okay but nothing I would get too excited about Sonia Kashuk cosmetics are great if you are on a budget I like the packaging and the fact that they are made in Italy I hope she adds more colors to the line though My next trip to Target will be soon and I can t wait to get some more of those eyeshadows review 11 99 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Sonia Kashuk report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel This is a line to look at if you are fed up with Cover Girl and Maybelline but you don t want to pay department store prices Makeup artist Sonia Kashuk created these products in cooperation with Target to offer professional quality products to everyone at a price we can afford The sleek silver compacts are minimalist albeit a bit tin y the colors are universal and wearable and the formulas rival many department store brands that are twice the price Perfecting Liquid Foundation 9 99 If it s the dewy look you re after this liquid delivers The coverage is sheer to medium so you do need a separate concealer for any challenging areas like dark circles or blemishes I bought Bisque the lightest of the six shade selection also including Cream Bamboo Camel Pecan and Amber The best aspect of this foundation in my opinion is that the colors are yellow based not pink like most drugstore foundation If you have fair skin you know what I mean Yellow based colors typically look more natural on the skin more like a fleshtone The only thing I really don t like about this foundation is the scent stinky and perfumey If you can get past the odor this is a department store quality makeup at a pretty reasonable price Dual Coverage Powder Foundation 9 99 I was less happy with this foundation because the lightest shade Ivory is actually too light for me wow that never happens I ended up looking like a ghost I may check out the other colors Linen Sand Honey Golden and Tawny to see I can find a better match Dual Coverage is a powder with a silky almost creamy feel It has medium coverage and lasts fairly well through the day I did have to apply a little loose powder under my eyes and on my eye lids to keep the foundation from creasing but for the most part it stays put I am still enamored with Urban Decay s Surreal Skin powder foundation but there is quite a price difference Barely There Loose Powder 7 99 Of all the Sonia products I tried this is my favorite There is only one color Naked a transparent ivory white which I imagine is supposed to work for all skintones I have an unfair bias considering my skin is really fair so it does work great for me but I have a hard time imagining it being the ideal color for someone with darker skin As for the texture I think it s outstanding incredibly light and imperceptible I even like it better than T LeClerc which is quite a coup considering how inexpensive the Sonia version is Beautifying Blush 7 99 Apparently there is a powder and a cream version of the Sonia blush but I could only get the powder The one thing that surprised me about this blush is the tiny little brush in the compact I would think a professional makeup artist would have a separate larger brush that you could buy instead of those awful eyeshadow sized brushes You just can t get decent application from a brush that size I immediately pitched mine in the trash As for the blush itself it comes in Pink Bloom Dawn Spice and Nude I chose Pink The texture is soft and blendable and I found it lasted well through the day on my normal to dry skin Enhance Eye Color 4 99 Sonia has quite an array of neutrals and colors to choose from so I went with a basic cream beige Whisper and a soft sheer purple Amethyst Whisper is the ideal base shade that you can use under other colors alone on the whole eye area to subtly bring out your eyes or on the browbone as a sort of highlighter I used Amethyst both as liner both wet and dry and as shadow just on the lid Both colors went on smoothly and lasted well throughout the day with fading or creasing At this price you can afford to try several new colors for fall Luxury Lip Color 5 99 This lipstick was my second favorite Sonia product after the loose powder Choosing a shade from a sea of browns pinks and everything in between is always a challenge but I really lucked out with September a cool cranberry red The creamy texture sets to a semi matte finish that I found lasted well even after eating or drinking a little something Personally I think this is a the ultimate fall color review 10 99 Lip Glossing 5 99 in Flirt For quality makeup on a budget the Sonia Kashuk line at Target is hard to beat I use the powder and blush brushes regularly and just discovered this lipgloss during a recent shopping trip Flirt is one of those MAC Twig looks great on anybody goes with anything sort of colors a medium pink brown with just the right amount of shine The texture is a bit on the grainy side but I like the look and the color enough to get used to it It wears pretty well too but it s light enough that I don t mind reapplying All in all I ve found this to be a very flattering product that I would definitely buy again review 1 00 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Sonia Kashuk report by Laura of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel We ve all been hearing lots of things about Sonia Kashuk and her new makeup line so I decided to check it out First let me tell you a bit about Sonia Kashuk Since of course you ve read Deanna s 10 8 and Heather s 10 15 review of this line you know a bit about Sonia already She s an outstanding makeup artist who s been around for years doing mostly runway work on many famous faces including Cindy Crawford s she also collaborated with CC on the best selling Basic Face book Sonia Kashuk Inc is licensed and distributed by Dayton Hudson who placed the entire line exclusively at Target stores I m surprised Sonia Kashuk managed to keep her price points so low considering that everything she developed was made in Italy This is a high quality line which easily could have been sold in better department stores The packaging has a clean simple design I especially liked the compacts dual coverage powder foundation and the eye colour because of the tight fitting hinges I accidentally dropped both these products onto a hard floor and instead of finding the mirrors and makeup within them in millions of little pieces they had not broken at all Now that I won t have 14 years of bad luck I m especially pleased to tell you about these Sonia Kashuk products and what I ended up buying Dual Coverage Powder Foundation 9 99 I liked this one a lot and ended up buying it because of it s texture and colour I have extremely light skin and have great problems finding a light enough shade for my skin so when I saw this colour Ivory I grabbed it The texture has a nice feel to it very light and creamy for a powder but it just didn t feel like a foundation to me Hence the title Dual Coverage Powder Foundation is somewhat misleading in my view Perhaps it should be called a powder instead I do own some dual powder foundations made by other cosmetic companies but this one by Sonia Kashuk somehow lacks the moisture content the others have I don t usually use powder but this time I applied a bit of the SK after putting on my own Shiseido foundation powder I didn t use the sponge that came with Sonia s product I used a brush instead That way I was able to get light coverage instead of the medium coverage one would get when using the sponge The end result I was very happy Besides the Ivory there are five other colours Linen Sand Honey Golden and Tawny Perfecting Liquid Foundation 9 99 This foundation felt good when I tried it on It was light moist and best of all very sheer Since the matte look is over who wants to look like they re wearing a mask anyway and a more natural moist finish is what you re after then you ll love this liquid It feels so light and airy you ll forget that you re wearing a foundation at all Like other high quality cosmetic companies Sonia has put some goodies in her ingredients such as a sun screen a man made form of vitamin E Retinyl Palmitate a very high quality vitamin A to name a few in fact she put these goodies in most of her products Perfecting Liquid Foundation comes in six colours Bisque Cream Bamboo Camel Pecan and Amber If you apply this liquid a few times you will get more of a medium coverage but it is a fairly sheer foundation The only real disadvantage I found was there were no colours for darker skinned women Upon looking at Sonia s liquid foundation and her dual coverage powder foundation I noticed they looked yellow based in colour but that was in my opinion just an illusion I wondered why I could wear the dual finish powder foundation since I can t wear anything with a yellow base I found out When I scrutinized the ingredients I noticed the first colour listed was Ultramarine Blue Then came yellow and red or red and yellow depending which product you looked at I realized two things these colours are for everyone and I found that I can wear colours with yellow in them if there is blue to balance the yellow A real learning experience Barely There Loose Powder 7 99 I loved this powder both for it s texture and its colour so naturally I bought it The texture is so finely ground it really felt luxurious when applying it to my face I was using Christian Dior loose powder for years but can finally say goodbye to it thanks to Sonia s version It s hard to describe how fine it feels One really has to try it herself And the colour If you have extremely fair skin colouring then this one is for you In fact Sonia only offers one colour called Naked a very translucent almost white powder Again this isn t good for the darker skinned women but for fair skinned people it s great Beautifying Blush 7 99 You can choose these blushes in either a cream formulation or a powder formula For myself I chose a powder blush I feel I have more control with a powder rather than a cream I have a great set of brushes so I tossed hers out and used mine It s amusing to me when a major cosmetics company spends mucho on their packaging only to include horribly flimsy brushes The powder blush comes in five cool and warm shades Pink cool Bloom cool Dawn cool Nude warm and Spice warm I chose Bloom Although this was a powder blush the texture felt almost creamy to the touch and blended well with my brush A little went a long way for me and I only applied it once through out the day As for the cream blushes they only came in one cool shade and one warm shade there was Glow and Sun the first being cool the second being warm Enhance Eye Colour 4 99 Sonia offered quite an array of colours to choose from there were some neutral shades ranging from light to dark in colours named Whisper Starlight Sunrise Malt Sable Bronze and Barley The more colourful shades were named Moonstone Sadeye Pink Plum Amethyst one of my favourites Gunmetal Ink and Night I already had a nice pink shadow so I chose Whisper as my base I always use a base to cover lids all the way up to the brow and Gunmetal a nice grey and Ink an almost grey black to be used wet as a liner These were nice pretty neutral colors that would balance with the dark red lipsticks I usually wear The texture was great easy to apply and very lasting I applied only once in the morning Luxury Lip Colour 5 99 This lipstick line was among my favourites There were many shades to choose from I loved September but they were out of it so I chose Garnet which is really up my line and my husband absolutely loves it It has a semi matte finish and wears all day That s all for now there was no lip gloss brow definer or lip pencil in stock perhaps a testament to their popularity Hopefully next time review 11 99 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Sonia Kashuk report by Jennifer of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I try to stay up to date with cosmetic industry news and know how so when I read a recent article on the Sonia Kashuk line I was eager to try it This line is a new and fun alternative to the more high priced lines It is carried exclusively at Target When I visited my local store to try it out I was disappointed to find that not all the products were in but here is what I tried Perfecting Liquid Foundation 9 99 This product is so easy to apply and blends beautifully I tried Bisque it is one shade too light for me The packaging is simple and easy with a small pump dispenser The first time I used this makeup I pumped the usual and found myself with too much product A little goes a long way It offers a light to medium coverage which is what I typically like It left my face looking natural and dewey I would not recommend this product to anyone with oily skin it is highly emollient and may feel greay to some At 9 99 it can t be beat Luxury Lipcolor 5 99 I was not overly impressed with the choice of colors but I settled on September It is a very deep berrystain color I did not like the feel of this lipstick It is very matte I found myself constantly pressing my lips together hoping to discover some moisture I finally applied some lipgloss over it If you like matte you may like this product however I think there are much better mattes on the market with better staying power I planned on trying the blush as well but did not like the choice of colors I tend to lean toward a soft natural colored blush and these tended to be a bit bright for my taste I am waiting to try other products as they come in review 10 99 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Sonia Kashuk report by Deanna of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I love autumn cosmetic shopping Almost all cosmetic lines have something new in the fall and many new lines are launched this time of year Another great plus for cosmetics shopping this time of year is that the weather in Maryland has cooled somewhat the humidity has dissipated and my oily skin goes back to normal to slightly oily Also my skin takes on a chameleon like quality this time of year I begin to fade from my regular yellow tan to eventually become a vanilla pudding shade With all of that going on I have great excuses to load up on new things Just when you were beginning to think that I never left the house to go cosmetics shopping I am pleased to present to you my review of the Sonia Kashuk cosmetic line available exclusively at Target pronounced in my household as tar sheh This is a new line of yellow based color cosmetics featuring the name of makeup artist Sonia Kashuk worked with Cindy Crawford on her Basic Face book but is licensed through the Dayton Hudson Corporation The packaging is very modern and up to date mostly in silver Because this line is so new in my area the lipsticks were still unavailable however I ll be sure to review the lipsticks when they do arrive Here s what I bought and what I thought of the products Perfecting Liquid Foundation 9 99 This is a very sheer liquid foundation It comes in six colors Bisque Cream Bamboo Camel Pecan and Amber Unfortunately there are no foundation colors for darker women of color but the range would be acceptable for skin tones varying from very fair skin to a paper sack tan Personally I purchased Bamboo a light tan color The positives of this foundation are If you prefer sheer to medium sheer coverage you ll like this It does not appear to contain any comedogenic ingredients It is water based and has the added benefit of having topical vitamins A and E The negatives are If you have sensitive skin the topical vitamins as well as the beeswax may irritate the skin It looks a little bit ashy on my skin tone possibly from the mica and titanium dioxide The ashiness is not as bad as with some other products I ve tried and is correctable with the addition of other products Also this product claims to be oil free however it is not It does contain some mineral oil so although not comedogenic it s not oil free either It lasts quite well however I did have to touch up once about midday and once mid evening Dual Coverage Powder Foundation 9 99 If you prefer a medium to medium heavy finish like I do this cream to powder foundation provides better coverage It is available in six colors Ivory Linen Sand Honey Golden and Tawny Again this color range is limited to the same skin tones as mentioned above Personally I purchased the Sand color The product is talc based and does not appear to contain any comedogenic ingredients There is less ashiness when using this product versus the liquid foundation so this cream to powder formulation may be better if you are a woman of color I was very impressed with this product it lasted well requiring only one touch up in the early evening Barely There Loose Powder 7 99 I personally prefer loose powder because I am subject to breakouts Unfortunately the loose powder only comes in one shade Naked which is an absolute white powder Unfortunately this color is uncomplimentary to my skin tone it looks very ashen on me but it does set the liquid foundation quite nicely This product may be better for fairer skin tones but it did not work well on me Sonia Kashuk does have a line of pressed powders available in Chiffon Wheat and Caramel and those powders may be better for women of color Beautifying Blush 7 99 The blushes come in two formulations powder contains topical vitamins A and E and cream The colors for the powders are Pink a cool rose burgundy Bloom a cool rose Dawn a cool bright pink Spice a warm rose and Nude a warm pink Personally I chose Spice The color was very complimentary lasted quite well requiring one touch up in the early evening The cream formulation comes in two colors Glow for cooler skin tones and Sun for warmer skin tones which I did not try but the products are available if you prefer cream formulations Enhance Eye Color 4 99 Currently there are approximately 15 eye shadow colors available in the Sonia Kashuk line The majority of the colors are naturals in the brown family however she does offer about 6 colors The naturals range from ivory beige to dark brown with names like Starlight Sunrise Whisper Malt Sable Bronze and Barley The Colors are called Moonstone Sadye Pink Plum Amethyst Gunmetal Ink and Night I chose Whisper a light brown and Sable a darker brown Both of these shadows lasted very well without creasing for about 6 8 hours I found that with the addition of an eye base they did last the day The shadows also have topical vitamins A and E included in the formulation so if you re sensitive to these ingredients you may not want to use these shadows Also there is some ashiness apparent in the lighter colors so the darker colors may be better for women of color Overall I m pretty impressed with the Sonia Kashuk line and find it to be a great alternative to some higher priced lines Hopefully this line will expand to include products for darker women of color Some of the products can produce an ashen appearance to the skin however it s a great product line for the price I d say this line qualifies as a cosmetic coup and I am happy to include it in my fall shopping spree Sonia Kashuk is available exclusively through Target stores review 10 99 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Sonia Kashuk report by Connie of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I took the Sonia Kashuk challenge I have to say I was quite excited about this one What a great idea for her to bring her new line of cosmetics to Target instead of opting for the upscale Nieman s Barney s etc The thought of paying less for her items compared to some of her peers had me intrigued right from the start So I was off to Target Well don t expect for this line to jump out at you The first Target I went to did not have it and did not even know what I was talking about None the less I was on a mission and continued my search at another Target I literally bumped into the products on an end cap needless to say it was not well advertised However the display set up was clean professional and arranged nicely similar to a cosmetic counter set up at any upscale department store just without the salesperson One drawback was there are no testers which is not good when it comes to foundation but this did not stop me from buying the entire line of products that were available Another drawback or positive depending on how you look at it there were no makeup artists sales people to help you with your selection However on display there is a brochure called Sonia Says put out by Kashuk on how to use her makeup line If you purchase any of her products I recommend picking up the free brochure for some handy tips The prices range for the line of cosmetics were 4 99 to 9 99 We are talking inexpensive The packaging of all of the cosmetics is very nice They all came in separate boxes no shrink wrap or plastic just like you would expect from a professional makeup artists line The line has a silver metallic theme to the packaging The lipstick is in a mirrored silver tube with Kashuk s name on it and the pressed powder blushes and eyeshadows all come in sleek silver mirrored like metallic looking compacts The loose powder comes in a see through shaker mill with a mirror like silver twist lid Very nice packaging that makes you feel like you have spent more than 5 or 10 for this makeup Let me jump right into the items that I purchased and my thoughts on each them Perfecting Liquid Foundation in bisque 9 99 Kashuk states that this is an oil free hydrating product which is right up my ally I loved this foundation It goes on light and smooth and blends great I was so afraid of the match to my skin without testing it first but it work out to my advantage This product had no hints of orange or yellow and blended really well with my skin It passed the initial try on test but how would it work throughout the day and evening Well I was pleasantly surprised It work wonderfully I did not feel the least bit oily throughout the day and into the evening I may have even liked this foundation better than my tried and true Laura Mercier which I definitely spent more than 9 99 for There are several shades to choose from with this line The only word of caution is the foundation did have a perfume odor to it which may turn some people off Enhance Eyecolor in ink sable and plum 4 99 Well the foundation worked out so good I thought for sure the eyeshadow would be the same The eyecolors come in single palettes which is fine but I am a fan of quads trios or at least duos None the less I purchased 3 colors from her line Well the colors go on beautifully bright and with tons of hue The blending however is another situation all together I found it quite difficult to blend the sable and ink colors in fact I had to almost rub which is something I do not want to do around my eyes I also noticed immediate creasing with sable The plum worked a bit better but it may be because it is a lighter color I was somewhat disappointed with the results from the eyecolor especially because there were some great colors to choose from Luxury Lip Color in beet 5 99 In one word wow This is a great lipstick a must have I love it I can t believe it is only 5 99 It went on like a dream smooth just the right amount of moisture no immediate bleeding and filled in ridges well no one likes the cracked lip look I went through 2 meals before I even had to attempt to reapply The color was bright but not loud and lasted until I washed it off at 10 00 in the evening it started to bleed a little by then but we can t expect miracles from 7 00 that morning I did have to wash my lips twice to get it all off but at least it stayed on long throughout the day the extra washing was well worth it I plan on buying several more colors of this lipstick She offers about a dozen colors currently I hope she comes out with more soon Barely There Loose Powder in naked 7 99 This is a talc based powder which would be great for someone with normal to oily skin I liked this powder It went on a little thicker than I am used to but it was not clumpy The texture is soft and smooth I found it to blot the oil and dull the shine extremely well I did not have to retouch until extremely late in the day which is a definite plus Beautifying Blush in bloom 7 99 Bloom is a plum blush which is definitely out of my nine dots I typically use a bronzer All of her bronze shades were out so I decided to live on the edge and go with bloom I was not disappointed The color on this is great there is a lot of life in it Warning a little dab will do you You do not need much on your brush to go far with this blush It goes on smooth soft and blends well The texture was extremely rich and I really liked the way the color looked on me This may sway me away from using bronzers The blush comes with a brush but I do not recommend the use of it It is your typical small useless blush brush that comes with most blush products that even the makeup artists themselves tell you not to use Dual Coverage Powder Foundation in ivory 9 99 I liked the texture of this product it was soft smooth and went on very well without altering the color of my face This could be used as a press powder which worked well for me as a touch up throughout the day not that I needed much I have oily skin in the T zone and tend to start to shine around noon but with both this and the loose powder I did not start to shine until much later in the day For me that is a plus This is a talc based product that I think would be ideal for anyone with normal to oily skin The thing I really liked about this powder is it was light and did not feel like you had a ton of powder on your face It also left your face extremely soft to the touch All in all I really enjoyed my testing of Sonia Kashuk and would buy most of her products again I thought the products were of impressive quality and inexpensive a real find Unfortunately I was not able to test a concealer because there was none Since the line is new maybe it is in development who knows In any event I hope she comes out with one soon because I would love to try it She also had a line of makeup brushes and utensils that I hope to try soon review 10 99 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics SPONSOR

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER JULY 97 COSMETIC LINES FOR WOMEN OF COLOR A Look at Personal Picks from our Panelist Sondra Hello Cosmetic Connection Readers Being of African American descent I want to share with all the women of color my best picks for finding the best foundations powders and colors out of all the lines currently on the market Here s my rating system The best thing since sliced bread All that and a tube of lipstick Can get better results if I used Crayola Crayons Don t go within smelling distance of that counter or wall display at your neighborhood drugstore Okay let s begin MAC Cosmetics MAC is of course one of the best and most popular lines ever All of their foundations are divided into two categories C 1 10 and N 1 10 with C1 being the lightest and N10 being the darkest The foundations come in three formulas matte liquid moisturizing liquid and a powder based foundation A lot of my friends use MAC foundation and it looks wonderful on them but on me I look like a corpse Because of the undertones of the foundation most seem to be yellow based it didn t do a thing for me In my opinion I think most Asian women look the best in MAC as far as the foundation goes The store that I frequent has a lot of Asian salespeople and when they wear it their skin looks flawless I would say that MAC foundation is also really good if you are having professional photos taken Bobbi Brown Essentials I highly recommend this line Professional makeup artist Bobbi Brown has created a line of cosmetics that practically anyone can wear I would have to say that this line is full of basics Bobbi Brown isn t into what the latest color or trend is The company feels that if a particular product is needed then they will incorporate it into the line All of the colors that are offered can be used alone or mixed to created a myriad of colors that can easily fit into what the latest style is for the current time Currently I m using Bobbi Brown Essentials face powder in Basic Brown It gives me the smooth and velvety finish that I ve been looking for in a powder and I don t have to blot a whole lot during the day because the powder really controls the oil in my skin The foundations come in three formulas Oil Free Moisturizing and a Foundation Stick The Oil Free and the Moisturizing foundations have a light silky texture The Foundation Stick comes in a large lipstick tube style container The texture is creamy but very light It provides a heavier coverage while still being quite sheer This Foundation Stick can be used as a concealer as well The foundations come in ten colors with the lightest being Warm Ivory and the darkest Espresso Side Note I recently attended a Bobbi Brown Essentials Makeup Workshop with Bobbi Brown s top National Makeup Artist and right hand man Curtis Phelps It was absolutely fabulous The purpose of this class was to help the average consumer duplicate some of the techniques and styles Bobbi Brown uses when she s doing fashion shows and photo shoots so we could incorporate those looks into everyday life This hour long session gave me the chance to ask a lot of questions about applying makeup the way the professionals do and how to use colors that I normally don t used on an everyday basis The models that were used were everyday women and when the session was over they looked as though they were ready for a magazine cover If you ever get a chance to attend one of these classes please do so It s well worth it You can also visit Bobbi Brown online at www bobbibrowncosmetics com IMAN Again this line is a top choice You can t go wrong here Created by supermodel extraordinaire Iman this line offers so much for so little I like this line because the prices are easy on the wallet compared to so many others and the company markets the line specifically to women of color If you can t find a color to fit you here than you can t find it any where as far as I m concerned Iman s Second to None foundation is made to match your skin s natural intensity The foundations are divided into three categories Sand 1 5 Clay 1 5 and Earth 1 6 All of Iman s colors are rich and vibrant The only thing to keep in mind about Iman is when you visit the counter located at J C Penney s don t go by the colors in the display especially the nail and lipcolors They really aren t true to life Ask the sales person to see the actual colors You can also visit Iman online at www sheen com iman Prescriptives Whoever came up with the concept of creating 115 foundation shades has to be an angel from heaven You cannot absolutely cannot go wrong here After you get colorprinted for the right shade if your shade isn t readily available on the shelf you can have one custom blended for you Isn t that super Colorprinting at Prescriptives is a method of matching your true skin color by determining its undertone Prescriptives believes that all of us fit into one of the four color families no matter what your race or ethnicity is Red Orange Blue Red Red and Yellow Orange There are at least four if not five foundation formulas at Prescriptives The one I m currently using is called Virtual Skin in Real Pecan which falls in the blue red category When I first got colorprinted I thought that I would fall in the Red category but when the Prescriptives rep matched me up as blue red and proceeded to test the Real Pecan color on me I couldn t believe it It was the perfect color for me I bought two bottles The Virtual Skin foundation is a new formula created by Prescriptives It s one of the sheerest formulas you can buy It acts like a tinted moisturizer and it contains an SPF of 10 It retails for 28 50 for about 2 ounces Maybelline Shades of You Because this is a drugstore brand I found that it s not easy to test the foundation that you want to try I did try the concealer in Dark and it did nothing for me The Dark was actually too light and yellow ish for me Luckily I was able to take it back and get a refund but I would still encourage indulging in the colors Maybelline Shades of You has to offer Their coffee kind of colors are very pretty and I use them to go along with my fall wardrobe They look good on

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Steven Miller report by Kiki of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel About two years ago I was reading in Vogue and again in Allure magazine about a skin specialist in Hollywood who gave phenomenal facials Although he doesn t like to associate his business with famous people both articles hinted that you shouldn t be surprised to run into Winona Ryder and other well known actresses I decided to make an appointment on the off chance that I could end up with her poreless perfect skin Over the years I had become wary of skin salons from one too many visits to salons under the name of some great facialist who was never around unless you were a celebrity and his dozen or so disgruntled underpaid inexperienced facialists who often had no concept of whether to extract or not to extract Steven was just what I was looking for He does his own facials leaves barely a mark on my skin so much so that I can go straight back to work and not have to hide in a closet for a week and has the best skin care products from a number of product lines Without going into what would be a very long story about Steven and his very small personally run salon let s just say I think he is fantastic After my first facial he suggested I purchase the three basic skin care products from his SMSC house line They were Mint Souffle Cleanser Ginseng Toner with AHA 5 and Granular Scrub My first reaction was of course you would suggest that I use your private label So upon purchasing them I had no expectations I figured they would be like everything else I ve tried Average To my surprise I used all three products for 6 months and still use the cleanser and toner now two years later After three months I noticed that my skin looked dramatically improved Overall I had a 100 improvement in surface oil pore size blackheads blemishes and flakey patches While I cannot surmise what brought about the most improvement his products or his facials which also use his products I can say that I noticed immediately that his products were very different than anything I had ever used Steven is also very generous with free samples when you go for facials He really wants you to know that you like the product before you buy it I generally walked away each month with 3 4 products that I had purchased and 2 3 samples of something new to try These products are very high quality and some are actually quite expensive compared to mall or drugstore prices but I feel that they are worth it On his website Steven recommends cutting some of the products in half with water I rarely do that but on occasion have done so with his Ginseng Toner When I asked him about that he said the products are concentrated enough to handle being cut with water and that doing so will simply make them last longer SMSC Private Label is Steven s brand of core products They don t have a brand name label or fancy packaging but they are among my all time favorites I did notice recently while visiting the BeneFit Cosmetic counter that BeneFit s Mint Souffle appears to be the same product as Steven s Mint Souffle and BeneFit s Alpha Smooth toner is virtually the same as Steven s Ginseng Toner with AHA 5 except that the Ginseng Toner has lemon juice in it In both cases I found that Steven s Mint Souffle and Ginseng Toner were more effective and concentrated compared to BeneFit s respective products Mint Souffle Camphor Souffle 29 for 4 oz or 65 for 16 oz Steven has two versions of this light fluffy low sudsing cleanser The Mint Souffle is for normal combination to oily skin types but I would suggest it s best for oily combination skin types I also noticed its cleansing effects greatly increased the longer you allowed it to sit on your skin before rinsing The Camphor Souffle is different from the Mint Souffle in that its main ingredient is camphor hence the name It is my favorite and is fantastic for oily blemished skin Both cleansers smell terrific and left my skin feeling very clean and refreshed without feeling tight and dry They did a great job of removing makeup and oil While I normally prefer a very sudsy bubbling cleanser both of these cleansers do have a substantial lathering effect that completely blankets and penetrates your skin I used both products over a year period and still use them I ve noticed that on some days these cleansers feel strong especially in the winter which in California means dry and 55 degrees As a result I usually use these cleansers at night and use another cleanser for normal skin like Facial Shampoo by Dermaculture in the mornings In the summer or if I m traveling to a humid area I ll definitely use Camphor Souffle twice a day Ginseng Toner with AHA 5 18 for 4 oz or 36 for 16 oz This toner is by far my favorite of Steven s products There is nothing special about the packaging smell or initial application but over time I noticed how fantastic my skin looked When I tried to switch toners or quit using it all together just to try something new and different my skin started to get flakey dulling patches again It is supposedly for dry or sensitive skin but I think it s more suited for normal oily skin because of the lemon juice and alpha hydroxy acid level although it is alcohol free This might be one case where you would want to cut this product in half with water It really depends on the climate and your skin type Overall I would highly recommend this toner Granular Cleanser 30 for 6 oz or 70 for 16 oz When I first started going to Steven s salon this was his favorite facial scrub I don t know if that s still the case but I never became a big fan of this product It comes in a tub and separates almost overnight so I found myself getting tired of having to stir it every morning I m also not a big fan of scrubs with lots of honey and ground up nut shells or in this case wheat and rye Also I found that the ingredients that surround the wheat rye scrubbies dissolved or rinsed away too quickly leaving me with a face full of the wheat and rye I really prefer the feeling of a paste or gel base that stays with the scrubbies until I rinse it off So I only used this scrub for about three months For my oily skin I prefer a gel based scrub with fine shaped scrubbies Azulen Day Cream 16 for 2 oz or 34 for 16 oz This day cream is ideal for normal oily and sensitive complexions It s light and packed with azulene one of the active substances of chamomile It s a very direct no frills product The cream is blue azulen and smells just like chamomile I was an avid user of this moisturizer for almost a year because it was so calming and light I ve since stopped because I m bored with it and find that I rarely need any moisturizer at all anymore due to the effects of Steven s toner and cleanser I do keep it in my cabinet for those few days in a year when my skin is feeling irritated For more information on Steven Miller and his products visit his

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS smashbox report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I had first heard and seen the name smashbox in fashion magazines and on alt fashion Usenet newsgroup for fashion and beauty related topics I was curious Who is smashbox Are they just another Estee Lauder company How many more boutique makeup companies do we need anyway My skepticism was put to rest after just 20 minutes at my local smashbox counter The counter manager was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic smashbox is actually part of smashbox Studios in Culver City CA a photography studio The smashbox philosophy is a sort of minimalism in that they offer a small range of colors but those colors are designed to mix and match Rather than 300 lipstick shades they have around ten all of which are supposed to be mixed either together or with lip liners to make different color combinations Clever idea Liza the counter manager decided to try some of their eye shadows on me Their look for eyes for the fall is a wash of all over color with just a hint of eye liner I was outfitted in a rather sparkly peachy beige cream shadow with a smudge of purple black eyeliner just on the upper lids It wasn t my usual style but it was fun and different I passed on trying the lipstick this time around I had on the new Slipcovers from Origins already but I promised Liza I would return Before leaving I of course asked for samples of their skin care They only have two products since again their approach is more minimalist smashbox Cleanser 26 Considering that the eye and lip colors in this line seem to be for younger women this cleanser was not at all what I expected It is very creamy not foamy at all and is almost moisturizing As winter draws near I think this could be a very nice cleanser for drier or more sensitive skins If you are more oily I think it would be too emollient you could always get a sample It removed all my makeup even the smashbox cream eyeshadow easily and without pulling or scrubbing smashbox Moisturizer 34 smashbox s philosophy about their moisturizer is refreshing it moisturizes That s all They don t claim it will get rid of wrinkles pimples or anything else When I tested it I fould a little dab went a very long way It was moisturizing without being too heavy and it left a nice finish to put makeup on There isn t really anything special about it but if you like what smashbox is doing it is definitely worth trying For more information on smashbox cosmetics check out their website SHOP Get what you need plus save time

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS SkinTones Cosmetics report by Deanna of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I am very lucky that among my groups of friends and acquaintances I can count a couple of makeup artists My friend Anita introduced me to SkinTones Inc about a year ago SkinTones in is a small cosmetic company based out of Cordova Tennessee however their products are manufactured in Canada I use their Body Blend a cream stick foundation as a heavy duty concealer and eyeshadow base When Anita first told me about this product line it was a fairly difficult product to find nowadays the company has a website at and their products are available to cosmetic professionals and non cosmetic professionals alike Although I love the department store lines I m not averse to trying out products from smaller companies as well I m always looking for a cosmetic coup Because I like the Body Blend so much I decided to see what else this company has to offer It touts itself as being used by such personalities as Jada Pinkett Smith and Lela Rachon as well as being the makeup line that was used in the HBO movie Introducing Dorothy Dandridge The company carries many different colors and shades of foundation The colors are essentially broken into three groups Ivory for those who have pink undertones Beige for those of us with yellow undertones and Bronze for those who have darker toned complexions The Bronze category offers foundation tones for the darker yellow tones and those people with dark blue undertones The packaging is mostly black plastic with white writing and looks a little chic Most of the product packaging mimics many of the more expensive lines Here s what I bought and what I thought of the products Body Blend in Beige 2 5 oz for 13 50 Essentially this is a cream stick foundation that will provide medium to heavy coverage It has a matte finish and feels surprisingly very lightweight on the face It is also water resistant so a good cleanser makeup remover is necessary On the positive side as I ve said before I love this product as a foundation for special evenings when the appearance of perfection is an absolute must or as a heavy duty concealer and eye shadow base I find that even the cheapest of eyeshadows will hold their color and placement practically without creasing when I use this product It stands up well lasting throughout the whole day even in Maryland s humidity Unlike many other cream stick products I ve tried this product goes on with practically no drag on the face and almost melts to cover the face The color is also practically perfect match for my skin tone It does not appear to contain any comedogenic ingredients however this product is not oil free it contains castor oil as well as three types of wax The waxes are Candilla wax Carnauba wax and microcrystalline wax A little of this product goes a long way and this size regardless of how you choose to use it will last a while I feel this product is an excellent value for the money Oil Control Liquid Foundation in Beige 3 1oz for 12 50 This foundation comes with a spatula attached to the top of the bottle cap to minimize overuse of the product which I found very helpful Like the Body Blend a little of this product goes a long way It provides sheer to medium coverage and has a matte finish Again this was another product that impressed me especially given the price tag However SkinTones Inc touts this product as being able to be used by anyone with any type of skin As an acne prone person I noticed that this product contains stearic acid a comedogenic ingredient which although didn t break me out may cause other acne prone people some problems It also contains a very small amount of chamomile a distant cousin to ragweed so those with severe ragweed allergies may also find this product irritating However it is very lightweight contains a sunscreen an oil absorber Styrene DVB Copolymer a very small amount of Vitamin A and an even smaller amount of aloe vera gel It lasts very well throughout the day requiring no touch ups until late afternoon or early evening Again for the price I was impressed Dual Finish Powder in Beige 2 14 50 Like many of the more expensive powders this one separates the applicator sponge from the powder cake itself It can be used dry as a sheer foundation or wet to provide slightly more coverage It also comes with a mesh carrying case It didn t come with a list of ingredients though which causes me some concern However it is a nice powder foundation that provides a matte finish It also works well as a finishing powder Unlike many powders this product didn t turn ashy on me which I appreciated However as a dry foundation it had minimal staying power about 3 4 hours between touch ups it did perform better when used wet SkinTones Inc suggests buying this powder on shade lighter than your actual foundation color because it does look darker on the skin than in the compact Personally I prefer the heavier coverage of the other two foundations however this is a nice sheer foundation Matte Eyeshadows in Woodland and Mango 8 SkinTones offers both matte and shimmer eyeshadows There are about 28 different shades in all I found that many of the colors including the shimmers were very complimentary and could be used by just about any skin tone or eye color The shadows are talc based and well pigmented Again given the price tag I was pretty impressed Even though these shadows contain quite a bit of mica which can age my eyes I found that these shadows lasted very well without creasing for about 6 8 hours I did have to touch up before going out for the evening Also even though these shadows contain mica I didn t find that the shadows aged my eyes however that could be due to the colors that I chose Mango is a rich warm pumpkin color and Woodland is a warm deep green Shimmer Eyeshadow in Gold 8 As I mentioned before these are talc based shadows I tend to try to stay away from shimmer eyeshadows however with the year 2000 fast approaching and shimmer is in I felt why not Again I was pleasantly surprised The shadow is a burnt gold tone and lasted well through several hours of wear which included dinner and dancing It also performs well when used as a liner If truly you like shimmer eyeshadows or like me you re just tired of neutrals this is definitely a line to look at without having to drop a packet on some of the more expensive brands Powder Blush in Suede 8 50 The ingredients of the blushes are very similar to the ingredients of the eyeshadows Again there are several shades of believable tones that will suit a great many skin tones not just the usual selection cool and warm pinks I chose Suede which is a warm rose brown color Although the product required a bit of layering before I got the effect I wanted the blush lasted well for about 6 8 hours without any touch ups even on my oily skin Lipsticks in California and Fire and Lip Conditioner 8 SkinTones offers over 50 shades of lipsticks including creams mattes and shimmers as well as lip tints They also offer a lip primer for those with uneven lip tone which I did not try and a lip conditioner called Moisture Base that I did try I also bought two lipsticks I m a great lover of red lipstick and I m always looking for a new great shade Fire is a matte lipstick in warm red California is a fire engine red lipstick with a hint of gold shimmer to it The lipsticks are castor oil based well pigmented and last very well even through a couple cups of hot coffee without any touch ups The lip conditioner was a bit of a disappointment though This conditioner is exactly the same formulation as the lipsticks minus any pigment I did not find it to be particularly moisturizing however it is a good sealant over other more moisturizing products Lip Pencil in Solar 6 50 A nice soft pencil that is a great liner for red lover Like the lipsticks it lasted well without requiring more than one or two touchups through the day Overall I m pretty impressed with this line of cosmetics I personally think that these are good products at drugstore prices that offer all women including women of color a better than drugstore option I d put this line down as a cosmetic coup SkinTones Inc can be found at www skintonesinc com or by calling 901 752 0408 you can request color cards showing the true colors of their products and what they have to offer Their Fax number is 901 751 2090 Best wishes to you and yours in the coming New Millennium I hope to see you out on New Year

CONTACT Copyright copy 2000 Kleinman com Inc and Cosmetic Connection All rights reserved SUBSCRIBE TO OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Skinplicity report by Deb of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel First some background about me I am 47 years old and I have fair skin that has an oily T zone at the least and large pores with occasional blemishes at the most My hair color is chestnut auburn and my skin burns easily so the oil is sort of a mystery Now on to the review Skinplicity is the skin care line from Sears It offers 5 formulas oily combination oily combination dry dry and dehydrated The line is very simple with just 4 steps cleanser refiner toner AHA serum and moisturizer Skinplicity also has other products like eye creams Easy Go Makeup Remover Lip Buffer Hand and Body Treatment Over and Out Blemish Cream Moisture Wrap Peeloff Mask and a Pore Purge Clay Mask which I bought since I have a pore problem The products have antioxidants and natural ingredients like apple kola nut and bisabolol from chamomile I tried the formula for oily skin blue because of my pores and occasional blemishes Here s the rundown Come Clean cleanser 8 50 in liquid or bar This did a fantastic job of removing heavy makeup and cleaning the pores The best thing was no tight dry feeling afterwards In my opinion Lanc me s pink gel cleanser is not nearly as efficient as this one Skin Refiner toner 8 50 This is a real kick This oily skin formula has oil blotting powders talc and titanium dioxide in it and you have to shake it up before you use it It leaves the skin lightly powdered and soft not tight or dry I really enjoy this toner AHA Skin Serum 2 ounces for 15 00 This is an alpha hydroxy serum so by its nature can cause some irritation for some people This product does use the gentlest of the AHA acids lactic acid and grape extract I had a warm feeling like sun across my cheeks and nose not stinging when I used it This went away after the fourth evening The makers suggest you only use this at night so I did Since AHA s make me peel a little I followed the instructions and only used it once a day I felt this serum worked better for me than a cream with AHA mixed in it Action Moisture Lotion 2 ounces for 8 50 or 4 ounces for 10 50 in liquid or cream This is a very good moisturizer for oily skin because it is oil free It does have humectants in it that keeps the moisture in your skin and also draws moisture from the air and binds it to your skin After applying this your skin feels very soft but no trace of oil Pore Purge Clay Mask 10 00 This is a clay mask with minerals and tiny exfoliating beads Leave it on 10 minutes then work with your fingers in circular motions to scrub I did not feel dry at all after this mask While it was on my cheeks tingled slightly but there was no discomfort at all If you have really sensitive skin this mask could be a little strong I really like this mask My mom said she thought my skin did look better after only 4 days so she is going to use it as well The mask helped to minimize my large pore problem Remember if pores are really cleaned out they can be smaller The simplicity of the line is a huge plus with today s hectic schedules The wide variety of skin types 5 offered is most helpful Remember I used the formula for oily skin and it is very strong but not stripping I will go into the combination oily line on a permanent basis because the oily line is so strong The bottom line is that my skin looks visibly better smoother smaller pores newer looking in only 4 days Skinplicity works and it works very well The price has to be a giant plus especially for a line that works this well There is a great amount of written material offered by Skinplicity and it s a good thing because help was hard to get on my visit These brochures are very informative There is also a phone number you can call and speak to someone about the products SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER 96 SKIN 101 For all the requests I get for information about the latest and greatest cosmetics from the trendiest lines more people ask me about basic skin care What should I cleanse with Do I need a toner What does an alpha hydroxy acid do This month I d like to address those questions Back when I was a teenager I had my fair share of pimples just like everyone else at that age I scrubbed and cleansed and squeezed and poked to try to make them go away but they were just too stubborn It wasn t until I was about 17 or 18 when I realized I was only making my skin problems worse All the harsh toners and acne treatments made my skin sensitive and irritated It was fighting back What was the answer to getting my skin back to a more healthy state Just a few simple changes to my skin care routine made me look like me again Whenever you wash your face do it gently I always cleanse in the morning as well as at night Some women only wash at night to remove the makeup they wore during the day which is fine Just remember don t ever go to sleep with makeup on It settles into your pores and is a breakout just waiting to happen Your eye makeup can actually get into your eyes at night while you sleep Yuck Choose a gentle cleanser that takes off all your makeup Gentle means that it doesn t burn or sting and it doesn t leave your face feeling taut or dry after you rinse If you have tried cleansers that don t work for you for any of these reasons try reading the ingredient label Alcohol witch hazel salicylic acid or sodium lauryl or laureth sulfate right near the top of the ingredients list could be a cause Unless you wear waterproof mascara or a lot of eye shadow you should not need a separate eye makeup remover If you use one and you like it great but don t buy one just because you think you have to I think a basic cleanser should be able to fully clean your face without a lot of extra steps Toners or fresheners aren t mandatory I like to use a freshener after I cleanse because it feels good They can be a nice follow up step to washing your face I recommend using one that does not contain alcohol witch hazel or salicylic acid because I think those ingredients are too harsh If you are using one that contains any one of these ingredients and your face feels okay you don t have to change For those of us with some skin sensitivities however these ingredients can be very irritating Moisturize where and when you need to Listen to your face I know that sounds crazy but if you just pay attention to what your face is doing you can better learn what it needs One of the most common problems that I and I m sure many of you face is oily and dry skin at the same time I m not talking about combinations skin oily forehead nose and chin with dry cheeks I m talking about an oily forehead that has dry flaky patches Why does skin do this In my experience with this annoying condition your skin is telling you that it is out of balance For me it meant that my skin was actually dry and was getting further stripped by cleansers and toners that were too strong It produced more oil to make up for what was lost thereby appearing oily Try to pinpoint what step s in your routine are causing the problem like a harsh cleanser or toner or an overly heavy moisturizer I have to admit that even though it makes sense to just moisturize the areas of the face that feel dry I just can t do it It feels off balance if part of my face has lotion on it and part is bare Since my fall winter skin is normal to dry with slightly drier cheeks I put my lotion on all over then concentrate a little more on my cheeks for an extra moisture boost Don t load up on unnecessary treatment products Less really is more when it comes to healthy skin Try not to inundate your face with multiple AHA creams vitamin lotions and fancy potions all at once A good balance is to use one just at night and one just during the day As for expensive creams and serums use what feels good and makes sense for your budget If you really want the newest and trendiest skin care try a product or two before you buy the entire line Get samples if you re not sure That s what samples are for Gentle goes for scrubs and masks too Your skin is not as thick as you might think Scrubbing it like crazy really won t make it cleaner If you want to use a scrub as your exfoliator rather than an AHA choose one that is gentle I like the ones that have tiny jojoba or wax beads better than ground up shells or seeds because they work gently but effectively Masks can be a wonderfully soothing part of your skin care routine No matter what your skin type choose a mask that feels good both before and after If it is cool and refreshing going on but your skin feels tight and dried out after it s off it is not the best choice So now that you know everything there is to know about your skin what products will make it look its best It s all a matter of opinion Your favorite night cream might be another woman s worst nightmare If you like department store skin care products do yourself a favor by getting samples to try new products before you buy You can determine if you have any allergies sensitivities or even general likes or dislikes with the product without wasting your money Just to get you started here are a few of my personal favorites For normal to oily or combination skin Garden Botanika Citrus Cleansing Gel H2O HydraSpa Daily Moisturizer SPF 15 H2O Facial Scrub For normal to dry skin Body Shop Hydrating Moisture Lotion Body Shop Intense Moisture Mask Alpha Hydrox 8 AHA Lotion For sensitive skin Garden Botanika Chamomile Cleansing Milk Garden Botanika Soothing Botanical Gel Mask Body Shop Hydrating Freshener SHOP Get what you

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Skin Biology report by Deanna of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Surprisingly enough my first contact with Skin Biology products came from the medical quarter I was discussing with my obstetrician a few brand new stretch marks and what could be done for them short of laser resurfacing She suggested that I try Skin Biology s Protect and Restore and Glycolic 8 creams after I had delivered my daughter So being the dutiful patient I contacted Skin Biology regarding their products I have to say that their website contains EXTENSIVE skin care information as well as testimonials results of medical studies performed on their products and skin care and hair care recommendations This is not a site that one visits hoping for some generalized information regarding products If you want to read about skin care and hair care products and skin care in general be prepared to take some time when visiting this site Personally I found that I really didn t have the time or the inclination to read all the information posted there so I just emailed Dr Loren Pickart the doctor behind the copper sulfate skin care craze and followed the doctor s orders Dr Pickart answer my queries quickly and in layman s terms I was very impressed with the service I received as well as the doctor s honesty regarding some of the other skin care products that are available to consumers Skin Biology makes several versions of their cornerstone Protect and Restore Cream essentially to assist different types of skin I purchased for 39 95 the Large 2 Step program containing 4oz each of Glycolic 8 an 8 glycolic acid cream and Protect and Restore Version 3 the High Retinol Oil of Lavender Version I used both of these products on my body over the stretch marks and on my face for a period of three months As a side note four ounces of these creams is will last a while I have been using these products for 3 months and I still have about a third of the bottles left The 2 step program does not feature a cleanser and although Skin Biology offers a Gentle Clean Bar separately I used my own cleanser I also purchased as a matter of interest the Folligen Cream 2oz for 17 95 which is supposed to be a scalp nutrient cream particularly for thinning hair or for use on the scalp before and after chemical treatments which I tend to partake in every six to eight weeks Here s what I thought of these products Glycolic 8 Cream This is a fairly lightweight white cream with a mildly greasy feel to it Because this cream is fairly inexpensive I really didn t mind using it over my body Although it worked well as a mild exfoliator and moisturizer on my body I didn t see any real effect of this cream on my face with one exception I found that it worked well around the eyes as an eye cream it has the proper consistency and absorbs very well however I don t believe that this product has been ophthalmologist tested so you may have to use this around the eyes at your own risk Other than the eye area I don t think this product is strong enough for my type of skin it may be better for those that are more sensitive to higher glycolic acids strengths Unfortunately this product does contain octyl palmitate and stearic acid both of which are comedogenic acne causing ingredients so it may not be the best glycolic acid cream for the acne prone and although I did not break out when using the product I did notice a fresh proliferation of blackheads particularly on my nose and in the cheek area Protect and Restore Cream Version 3 High Retinol High Oil of Lavender Version This is a fairly lightweight blue cream with a mildly greasy feel to it This is one of the strongest of the Protect and Restore products I must admit that my face has a much more even skin tone even this time of year when my coloring tends to fade a little unevenly The skin around my eyes appears to be firmer and I actually have fewer lines around the eyes I have found that my stretch marks have seemed to diminish somewhat even the older ones from gaining and losing weight however I can t honestly say that this is due to the cream or due to the passage of time perhaps it s a little of both Although this cream may cause irritation in some people I did not experience any irritation However if you have sensitive skin or are under the age of 25 one of the lighter concentrations may be better for you I did have a few blemishes while using this cream as it contains the same comedogenic ingredients as the Glycolic 8 cream however I noticed that they were smaller healed much faster and weren t as red and irritated as they can be Overall I m pretty pleased with the effects of this product Folligen Cream As I ve said before African Americans are bombarded with product information about products that are supposed to grow hair However I bought this product because it claimed to relieve the tightness caused my using strong chemicals on the hair and scalp as well as to restore scalp health after using chemical products In retrospect I think I should have purchased the Folligen Solution Therapy Spray a similar product in a liquid spray on version I have too much hair in my opinion for the lotion I didn t notice any hair growth while using this product but I did notice that after my regular chemical treatments that my scalp did not feel tight nor did the chemical treatments sting or burn like they usually do This is remarkable given that I notoriously scratch my scalp before a relaxer I try not to but no matter what I always manage to do it It does tend to give the scalp a mildly blue tint I had to explain what I was using to my hair stylist she looked like she was going to have a coronary But all in all I liked the product as a scalp conditioner and would recommend it to any one who has chemical treatments on a regular basis As with the 2 step program the 2 ounce size is very generous and will last some time Overall I have to say that I m pretty pleased with my obstetrician s advice I m not a big fan of the Glycolic 8 cream but I liked the Protect and Restore Version 3 cream and the Folligen Lotion comedogenic ingredients and all I m still working on the stretch marks though Protect and Restore has recently launched another cream specifically for scars and damaged skin It contains three times more of the copper sulfate the active ingredient than in the regular cream I ll let you know how this product works for me when I come back with more reviews Skin Biology products are available exclusively online

applying makeup took that much skill A little foundation here a swipe of mascara there and you were done Well I was wrong All these years I had been using as little makeup as possible since anything more was too much of a hassle What if while using a liquid liner I drew a huge line all over my face If I tried anything more involved that one shade of eye shadow it was a lost cause a major case of racoon eyes And don t get me started on deep shades of lipstick So what s this miracle cure Call them the tools of the trade good quality makeup brushes When it comes to getting complicated makeup techniques down you really need the proper tools On my search for the best brushes I had a hard time believing that good quality has to mean outrageously expensive If that were true the 50 spent on some powder brush would really make my makeup look five times better than a 10 brush I will admit that the cheap synthetic brush set I got when I first started using makeup was pretty bad and it really hurt my eyelids After finding that most brushes were way out my price range I was thrilled when my mom agreed to buy me the eye definer brush from Bobbi Brown The makeup artist at the Bobbi Brown counter used it so expertly I thought for sure this brush would make me a pro I didn t want to spend 24 for it but I sure wanted that brush Thanks mom I continued my search for more brushes after that I looked at MAC Origins Estee Lauder Philosophy Bobbi Brown they were all more of an investment than I could afford right now I m not made out of money you know Well all of my research finally paid off While at my last visit to my hair salon an Aveda concept salon I noticed that Aveda makes brushes too and not just for your hair I timidly asked my stylist How much for the eye shadow brush I was thrilled to hear her answer It s 12 Finally good quality at a reasonable price I agree that good quality makeup brushes are an investment but don t blow your life savings just so your face can look pretty Do your homework so when you do make a decision you feel like it was the best one for you SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Signature A report by Brita of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Adrienne Arpel might just be the Ron Popeil of the cosmetics world even if her products leave something to be desired her sales pitch is irresistible She s figured out that quantity is an excellent substitute for quality and seduced many of us into having Arpel salon facials by the promise of bonus goodies such as make up kits Once you re in that chair beware Caught up in the moment I came home with 90 worth of silly ampoules and creams that turned out to be too oily for my skin Yeah there s one born every minute Apparently Arpel is no longer associated with the department store line that bears her name and for the last few years has been selling her new line Signature A on the Home Shopping Network Although she doesn t come right out and say so it s supposed to be simpler cheaper and more effective than her previous line and is aimed at women over 35 And since she s always hawking kits a master s lesson in make up a wrinkle prevention one and those promising instant makeovers there are a lot of opportunities to sample a wide range of products What some people may not know is that her kits and individual products are also sold on FirstAuction com a kind of clearance center auction house for HSN s wares On the right day that goodie bag that looks so enticing at 89 95 can be had for about half that price Frankly curious about her line I rationalized buying her Head to Toe kit last November thinking I could give it to my mother for her birthday The mere mention of Arpel gave Mom a screaming fit though since she had recently pitched her own stash that some supersaleswoman had pressured her into buying years ago So the kit was all mine which didn t exactly distress me Who could object to getting 10 or so products for 45 It turned out to be not such a bad purchase after all Okay I ll say it there were products I liked a lot some I thought were just okay and nothing that I absolutely hated save for the tres 70 s mock alligator tote One product I even re ordered Go figure Some general observations if you have sensitive skin pass this one up Arpel s products tend to be heavily fragranced and her glycolic products are very very potent On the plus side the sizes are generous and a good value Also her packaging is sleek and minimalist some of it is downright clever Her Five Essentials creme which is a glycolic moisturizer comes with a little tub of eyecream attached to the jar lid a gentle reminder to use both at the same time Her wonder wheel has concealer crease fill a frosty highlighter a contour cream blue and mauve undercoats even if you just use one or two of these products it s a very handy kit to take on trips My favorites The Conditioner Shampoo for thin fine hair The scent oddly reminiscent of Final Net hairspray is offputting but this is an excellent product It works very quickly and rinses out easily without build up Vanilla Meltdown This is a pleasantly scented make up remover that liquifies almost instantly and removes even waterpoof mascara very efficiently A caveat it s very rich and even though I have mature skin I wouldn t use it every day Five Essentials Face Cream and Eye Cream This is her workhorse do everything cream that has glycolic acid and retinol This is unscented yay and quite strong I felt stinging on a few occasions It s not overly rich and is a nice base for make up Also it does include an eye cream and is a great deal at 25 for 9 oz From the Wonder Wheel Eyelid Crease Fill This is a sticky orange cream that lights up the eye area and is about the best shadow base I ve ever used Fabulous powder cream consistency Was less thrilled with the Undereye Concealer and Face Flaw Concealer in the same kit too dark Peach Bath Soap My absolute favorite A log of soap resembling Apricot colored Velveeta The deal is you slice of a sliver as you need it Contains alpha hydroxy acids and is very strong I ve used it to remove latex based paint from my hands Nice fragrance and a great body exfoliator These three I was neutral about Five Essentials Body Treatment A nice plain white cream that s loaded with glycolic acid Not bad but should be reformulated as a lotion for ease of application Gleaming Skin Invisible Make up This is a peach tinted frosted liquid in a great pump type dispenser Although it s billed as a base it s really a highlighter It s okay but has less staying power than Clinique s Zero foundation Soft Scrub with Vanilla Bean A cream scrub with vanilla bean grains Just personal preference here I prefer chemical exfoliators to those that abrade mechanically The fragrance is quite nice as vanilla scents go So go ahead buy a kit You know you want to And nothing quite matches the thrill of having ten products spread out on the table Even if you hate the fake alligator tote SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Shu Uemura Brushes report by Pam of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Recently I spent some time at the Shu Uemura counter at Barney s checking out their line of makeup brushes I discovered an extensive collection of basic brushes most available in a choice of either nylon or natural hair Prices definitely lean toward the higher end The traditional eye shadow brush ranges from 23 for nylon to 65 for red sable hairs The highest priced brush is the Kolinksy sable large eyeshadow brush for 195 Not unique to Shu Uemura but wonderful none the less is the option of choosing from the collection of handy brushes Each brush from blush to lip has a shortened handle I love the short handled brushes not only for the ease in which they fit into cosmetic bags but I find a shorter handle easier to maneuver As a test I decided to try the handy brush for lips I use a lot of compact lipsticks and pot lipglosses When I asked the Shu Uemura representative what the difference was between the nylon and the sable handy lip brush I was told that it was strictly a matter of preference Since the nylon brush was 12 and the sable brush was 24 I decided that my preference was to spend less money After several testings what I loved about the handy brush was just that its compact design and the sleek silver handle sometimes aesthetics are everything fit nicely into my makeup bag and was great for quick touchups I did find that this particular brush made my lipstick colors go on much lighter when applied which was good and bad depending on the look and coverage I was going for Ultimately I found that I much prefer my MAC lip brush 9 the MAC brush gives more lipstick coverage and lip brush control and that other than the very portable size the brush was nothing special In fact in general I would have to say that this line of brushes is nothing amazing Other lines offer comparable if not better quality for less money Notably missing from this line of brushes is diversity and even the Shu Uemura representative was directing me to check out Trish McEvoy for a better brush to use for powder foundation when I had mistakenly thought the Shu Uemura powder contour brush might have done the trick If you would like to know more about Shu Uemura brushes and or the entire cosmetic line catalogs are available by calling 1 800 743 8205 SHOP Get what

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER JULY AUGUST 99 ONLINE SHOPPING REVIEW With the explosion of beauty shopping sites online readers like you have been asking me where the best places are to shop who has the best service and where to get hard to find products Update August 17 1999 I have had too much fun shopping online and am trying not to get carried away This last installment for now is on Four Seasons Enjoy Click here for my review of eve com or my review of Bellisima Four Seasons I heard about Four Seasons from a reader and decided to check it out They have a decent selection of products including T Le Clerc Mason Pearson Ahava and Fresh After browsing around a bit I decided to get the Aesop Dry Skin Pallette Box 60 and the coveted T Le Clerc loose face powder 45 in Banane Aesop Dry Skin Pallette Box I really liked the Aesop cleanser and moisturizer I got from my last online shopping spree at Bellisima so I wanted to try a few more of their products The Dry Skin box comes with 30ml travel sizes of Purifying Facial Cream Cleanser Primrose Facial Hydrating Cream Primrose Facial Cleansing Masque Rejuvenate Aromatique Balm Resurrection Aromatique Balm and Relax Aromatique Balm Sounded like a great collection but I never got to try any of them After waiting 9 days for my order to arrive I eagerly opened the package only to find half the lids open the seals broken and the contents leaking I was less than happy I called Four Seasons and spoke to the woman who boxed my order to find out about returning or exchanging the products She said she had actually opened the bottles herself to make sure they were okay She said this box was one of the last they had Aesop is discontinuing them and she had had some problems with others being not so fresh Needless to say I was not interested in questionable products and promptly sent my order back for a refund T Le Clerc loose face powder As for the powder I love it but I didn t end up with the container I got from Four Seasons When I saw what a tiny container 35g really is I sent it back too For 45 I expected something bigger A few days later I ended up finding the large 115g size at a local salon store here in Portland for only 57 That was a steal of a deal I couldn t pass up This is the lightest silkiest most barely there face powder I have ever tried and I would definitely buy it again I am considering dabbling with other colors as the Banane sometimes feels a little too yellow but it does leave an incredibly smooth finish on the skin I also have had no shine breakthrough whatsoever my combination skin typically gets a bit shiny in the T zone by late afternoon This is a must have if you are shopping for a new loose powder All in all my experience with Four Seasons makes me want to avoid shopping with them The online shopping is clumsy and low tech the wait for an order is longer than I think it should be and the level of service makes driving 20 miles to the mall sound appealing SHOP

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Shiseido report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Since I am always looking for a gentle thorough cleanser I decided to revisit my local Shiseido counter to see what was new and interesting When I was a teenager I used Shiseido s Pureness line for oily skin but over the years I was naturally drawn to many other lines and Shiseido quickly became just a memory After talking to the skin care consultant we determined my skin is Normal Combination for which they recommend the Vital Perfection line of products I took the plunge and bought the Cleansing Foam 22 50 and Facial Cleansing Brush 19 50 skipping the overpriced and unnecessary 30 Balancing Softener toner and slew of moisturizers I knew I didn t need I wasn t even sure if the Facial Cleansing Brush would make much difference over the cleanser alone but after two weeks of daily use my blackhead prone areas chin nose and forehead are actually clearer and smoother The daily use of the brush is enough gentle exfoliation to remove some of the blackheads and help keep them from coming back Hooray The cleanser itself works well to remove most makeup and daily grime definitely use a separate gentle eye makeup remover though and it leaves the skin feeling clean and smooth It also contains tiny blue antibacterial beads that are great for acne prone skin because they help stop bacteria from spreading to other unaffected areas of your face This cleanser is really for someone who is either altogether oily or at least has a fairly oily T zone and normal cheeks if you are dry anywhere your skin probably won t like this product SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics

line and I finally got my chance The lady at Nordstrom s was very friendly and didn t pressure me to buy anything at all I ve often thought they were a bit pricey Fortunately when I was there if you purchased any one full size item you received a free sample kit of one of their skincare types as a gift The kit provides perfect travel sizes of four skincare items a sample lipstick and a packet of facial cotton A great way to sample Shiseido I purchased the Vital Perfection Cleansing Foam and chose the Shiseido Skin Profile Bonus for Oily Skin With A Dry Surface I also purchased a specialty item Pureness Oil Blotting Paper I explained that I had oily breakout prone skin but was also subject to dry flaky skin as well due to the office environment I work in I m concerned about products for oily skin that dry out the skin too much because they are commonly detergent based She indicated I could try the sample sizes first and that if they didn t seem effective enough for controlling oil I could try their Pureness line There are three sets of products available for the three skin types Pureness for oily Vital Perfection for normal combination and Benefiance for dry I happily drove home with my new skincare products to try I used the whole line for five days and here s what I discovered Vital Perfection Cleansing Foam 22 50 for 4 5oz sample 57oz This cleanser foamed really nicely although I don t know what the little sporadic blue granules were for You only need a tiny amount like less than a pea size and some water on your hand and it foamed like crazy It lathered up not unlike shaving cream Unfortunately I was disappointed to notice it didn t cleanse off all my makeup on the first wash I thought maybe it was my foundation being stubborn so I switched between two liquid formulas Clarins Teint Naturel Ultra Mat Oil Free and Iman Second To None Oil Free one day and one powder MAC Studio Fix on another Each night I washed my face I would follow with toner and a lot of makeup was still being left behind I d use three cottons and there were still traces I d have to wash a second time on every foundation type I tried I don t know about you but I d rather get a cleanser that washes and removes makeup even eye makeup all in one fell swoop It s a great cleanser if you like to wash your face twice but ironically it did leave my face feeling really clean Vital Perfection Balancing Softener 34 50 for 5oz sample 5oz A gentle toner that leaves the face feeling hydrated Nice clean light fragrance but costs so much for so little Again it makes your face feel really clean Vital Perfection Moisture Active Lotion 32 50 for 2 3oz sample 5oz A nice light lotion but for this price and how much you get It doesn t even have an SPF nbsp or AHAs You have to use a separate SPF nbsp product on top during the day or your foundation will have to include one It s also alcohol based so maybe a potential dryness problem I found it worked better for evening than daytime though at this price I expected it to do more Pureness Hydro Purifying Mask Peel Off 18 50 for 2 7oz sample 25oz Very similar to the old quot Strawberry Peel Off quot masks you could get from Avon I used it twice per the directions of once or twice weekly This one was disappointing because I used it after cleansing once to see if it would be good at removing the remaining makeup problem I used the toner afterwards and it failed I could see traces of makeup and was pretty disappointed that it could feel like everything was removed but wasn t At this price it should have Advanced Performance Lipstick 14 00 Boreal Brown 130 Mini sample Nice creamy bronzy burnt orange to copper color similar to MAC quot O quot that has a beautiful semi matte finish Looks like I may be looking at their lipsticks a little closer Pureness Oil Blotting Paper 10 50 for 100 sheets I immediately liked these papers when the lady at the counter gave me one to try It absorbs oil off your face but without adding anymore makeup It s a great alternative to putting more powder on an already oily face The sheets are coated with a light layer of clay that can absorb oil It s also an alternative for men who have oily skin but can t really use anything for eliminating shine You may feel a little funny about patting your face with this thin tissue like paper in public but I find one or two sheets work great for a whole day I just fold one or two up and put it in my compact instead of lugging the whole packet around I think this is a terrific find for oily skin sufferers everywhere especially for the warmer months ahead Finally a product from Shiseido I truly recommend SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Serious Skin Care report by Nava of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I am one of those typically frustrated oily skinned people who will try just about anything to stanch my overactive sebaceous glands That includes ordering products from the shop at home channels While I ve never ordered any other type of product from a shop at home channel I couldn t help myself when it came to Serious Skin Care on the Home Shopping Network It was as if some otherworldly force put the phone in my hand and removed the credit card from my wallet Watching the presentations is an amusing break from mundane network television Because Serious Skin Care is one of Home Shopping s top selling lines their monthly visits take place during prime viewing hours A perky HSN host is joined by Jennifer Flavin Stallone wife of Sylvester and Lesa Stock the creator of the Serious Skin Care line While Ms Stock tries valiantly to drive home the scientific clinical benefits of her line she is always overshadowed by Ms Flavin Sallone s incredibly overzealous pleas to the acne afflicted to plunk down their money and experience a facial epiphany as she has To her credit Flavin Stallone has gorgeous looking skin When you see her before photos her acne was not of the disfiguring variety A few small red bumps seemed to be the extent of it Since I suffered from the disfiguring variety and needed prescription drugs to get rid of it I could see how a few innocuous skin care products were her solution I couldn t help being skeptical of Serious Skin Care At Home Shopping they make it very easy for you to try a lot of Serious Skin Care products at what seem to be very reasonable prices I ordered during one of their anniversary shows this past April I took advantage of several special offers and received about twenty different products The best deal was the Anniversary Tote for 79 95 Along with a silver tote bag I received 17 full size and try me size products My favorite products are as follows Glycolic Cleanser 36 95 plus shipping for a 12 oz bottle Much as I hate to admit it this is a gem of a cleanser It doesn t contain a lot of fancy ingredients but boy does it work The best way to describe this cleanser is a turbo version of Cetaphil A small amount will remove foundation eye make up and other assorted grime and gunk It may be a bit harsh for drier sensitive skin even though it is recommended for all skin types Unplugged 23 00 plus shipping for two 2 oz bottles This is an alcohol free toner spray The product is touted as a skin balancer to even out the dry and oily portions of the face It contains an ingredient Isolutrol which is derived from shark cartilage I find this handy to keep my oily T zone in check A Force Serum 24 00 plus shipping for a 1 oz bottle This is a vitamin A C E antioxidant and glycolic acid cocktail They always make a big deal out of this product during the presentations on HSN using before and after photos of a woman s skin under a special lamp to show how A Force Serum will rid the skin of free radicals and reverse sun damage In all honesty if you use it after cleansing your skin it will leave it soft and smooth One Million IU s Vitamin A Cream 26 00 plus shipping for a 2 oz jar Even though this cream is meant for dry mature skin I like to use it along with the A Force The combination of these two products manages to keep my oily skin under control and smooth the fine lines I am starting to get around my eyes and mouth By the way you can t tell from reading the ingredient list if there actually are one million IU s international units of Vitamin A in this cream But the very mention of them always induces a lot of ooh ing and aah ing among the testimonial callers to Home Shopping Emu and Aloe Soothing Cream 23 00 plus shipping for a 2 oz jar This cream is meant for sensitive skin and for people who are using heavy duty acne treatments Its main ingredients are Aloe Vera and Emu Oil It did in fact feel very soothing as its name implies Glycolic Renewal Gel 23 00 plus shipping for two 4 oz bottles You can get this individually or as part of the Five Piece Acne Treatment Kit It is described as a cross category solution serum helpful to both problem and maturing skin When you compare the ingredient listings of this product and the A Force Serum they are very similar However this one feels a little sticky on the skin after you apply it Super Hydrate 22 00 plus shipping for one 4 oz bottle This product is also sold as part of the Five Piece Acne Treatment Kit It contains Aloe Vera Sodium PCA and Sodium Hyaluronate which makes it perfect for oily skin It is a decent light gel moisturizer Clearz It Acne Treatment No price given for the individual product See below Also included in the Five Piece Acne Treatment Kit this is a 5 Benzoyl Peroxide acne lotion I ve always been prone to irritation from Benzoyl Peroxide and this product proved no different I used it twice on a smallish pimple that appeared below my jawline Even though it got rid of the blemish quickly I had significant redness in the area Overall Serious Skin Care is worth trying I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and effectiveness of the products I used If you are on the eternal quest for hope in a jar like I am Serious Skin Care is a good pit stop along that journey Please note that all prices are approximate Whenever Serious Skin Care is sold there are always special kits and sale prices offered on particular products Keep in mind that there will be

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Selleca Solution report by Deanna of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel During the last month of my recent pregnancy I just couldn t move around as well and was in fact on physician prescribed bed rest I don t know if it was the hormones the inability to get my regular cosmetic counter fix or just simply the fact that I couldn t sleep that lead me to it but whatever it was I did it Yes armed with the TV remote and a credit card I ordered some of those as seen on TV products C mon you know you ve wanted to and besides what else is there to watch at 3 00 a m I ll try anything once so let me share some of my experiences with you The Selleca Solution Price 39 95 shipping and handling This is a skincare system touted by Connie Selleca supposedly based on a an ancient Egyptian miracle cream I was drawn to this product because of the inclusion of essential oils specifically myrrh frankincense and sandalwood oils known for their hydrating and healing qualities and because it promised gentle quick results After all I was pregnant and concerned with what I put on my skin The system consists of three pieces a cleanser a day moisturizer and a night cream It also includes an eye treatment kit two pieces one for day and one for night and some freebies a sample of body lotion a sample of quick lift facial firming gel and a sample of eye makeup remover These products are supposed to work together as a system This is how it worked for me Soothing Cleanser with Chamomile A cleanser is supposed to remove all makeup from the face Unfortunately this cleanser couldn t do it I washed my face three times to remove just my foundation blush and lipstick regular formulations using this cleanser and I still couldn t get it all off I eventually had to use my regular facial cleanser When checking the ingredient list I found that this cleanser was almost all fillers and comedogenic ingredients However not to be deterred and hoping for a miracle I pressed on Daily Difference Moisturizer This was an average little moisturizer It smelled nice and felt good on the skin It takes a few minutes to absorb so I had to wait about 5 minutes before I could apply my makeup but all in all it was okay It contains some essential oils but they are listed so far down on the ingredient list there can t be much in there Another drawback it s loaded with comedogenic ingredients Nighttime Miracle Cream I m not a real fan of night creams but I have to admit this one felt nice and I didn t wake up puffy It has the same bois de rose scent as the rest of the skincare line I didn t experience any life changing results though This product too is loaded with comedogenic ingredients Firming Eye Gel This is the daytime portion of the eye treatment kit As far as eye creams go it s about average I did not see any difference but the product did feel good on the skin and absorbed quickly Hydrating Eye Cream This is the nighttime portion of the eye treatment kit Again average It didn t do a thing for my crow s feet but it felt good Essential Moisture Body Lotion I ll admit my skin was particularly dry during my pregnancy Even still an average body lotion I would compare it to Suave or St Ive s body lotion Quick Lift Facial Firming Gel This gel like many others of its type works by temporarily and I mean temporarily tightening the skin Gentle Eye Make up Remover Again average It did a better job than the facial cleanser but not by much I used these products for about three weeks Although I really can t recommend these products for people with my skin type I will say that they do smell good and feel good but all I got for my money was disappointment and pimples If you are still interested in these products which are

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Sage Advice Skin Care report by Deanna of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel This review is going to be a long one so get a cup of tea or what ever is your poison and take a few minutes First let me give you a little background about myself I had perfect skin albeit a little oily until about the age of 26 when I suddenly developed adult acne I have been searching for products since that time that would clear my skin As I ve gotten older I m now 34 and don t mind telling you this if you keep it a secret I ve added to my skin care product search the requirement that the products I use should not only clear my skin but help my aging skin as well I was a confirmed Proactiv Solution user however Proactiv doesn t do much to help fine lines and wrinkles This was my only problem with the line So after reading Heather s review of Sage skin care and joining the Cosmetic Connection panel and getting many requests from you the readers I decided to try Sage to see what it had to offer I ve used Sage for about three months now through part of the summer and the beginning of fall and I d like to share with you my Sage experience I must say that this is one line that I was happy that I used for an extended period of time I did experience some irritation for the first few weeks and I am really glad that I stuck with the line through the entire 3 month period had I written before I may have given erroneous information Before I start though here are a few extra details about the regimen I used the web site the product packaging and the customer service The best regimen for me during the day during the summer months turned out to be Gelloid moisturizer extra strength corrective grains regular strength cleanser SPF 25 20 Smoothing Gel and a reformulated Hydrating Emulsion with extra moisture Now that it is fall I ve had to readjust to using the Gelloid moisturizer instead of the reformulated Hydrating Emulsion as well as the 20 Smoothing Cream instead of the gel The best regimen for evening turned out to be extra strength corrective grains regular strength cleanser icing 20 Smoothing Gel or Smoothing Cream and extra strength Miracle Zit I know many people have a concern about icing so let me address this now I ve been using the icing technique and it is not new to me since I began modeling at about the age of 16 I have always found that it reduces inflammation so I wasn t worried about doing it in conjunction with these products I have not seen any side effects from icing over the years however I do recommend wetting the ice and the face before performing the procedure as it does help to reduce the drag on the skin The website contains a great deal of good common sense information about skin care so even if you don t buy the line I would recommend at least a perusal of the site to review the information Also the product use instructions are listed there not only in print but via voice wave file as well I found the list of comedogenic ingredients to be an interesting addition to the lists given to me by my dermatologist Many of the same ingredients are listed however the Sage list does include some that my dermatologist s list does not and my dermatologist s list does contain some that the Sage list does not These are the lists I use when I examine products for review If both the derm doctor and Barbara agree on an ingredient being comedogenic I list it as such in my review if only the Sage list mentions it I just list it as an ingredient in the products and leave it to the readers to decide The product packaging is VERY minimal These are basic everyday white bottles and jars with computer generated I think labels Not very pretty on the vanity if this is an interest for you You are definitely paying for product here people The labels do peel and rub off especially when wet and they are going to get wet so download the instruction sheets and put them somewhere safe You may need them Unfortunately Ms Strickland does not put ingredient information on the product labels so you will have to request that information from her The customer service is excellent actually superb Any questions I had were answered via email within the hour and when I was having problems with the Miracle Zit more on that later I got a personal phone call to clear up the matter My only problem in this arena was when I submitted my profile before trying the products I received no answer I resubmitted my profile and still received no answer I went ahead and bought the Acne Try Me Pack at 39 95 and within 24 hours I had an answer It turned out that I had actually bought the wrong one for my skin type which is what I was trying to avoid doing in the first place and had to buy the Oily Skin Try Me Pack at 49 95 as well Oh well at least I got to try a lot of the products and there is about six to eight weeks of product to get the skin through the adjustment period Now to the review Corrective Grains and Extra Strength Corrective Grains 4oz for 17 50 Both of these products are excellent exfoliants And of course there are no comedogenic ingredients The extra strength grains do contain more of the polyethylene beads as well as a little more added detergent however both of these products are aloe vera based and gentle Ms Strickland takes great pains to remind customers that these grains are to be used gently This is very important especially when using the 20 glycolic acid gel What I loved about both products was that they could be applied right over makeup The regular strength grains have a pleasant aroma mandarin orange or peachy smell however the extra strength grains smell more detergent y Facial Shampoo and Extra Strength Facial Shampoo 4oz for 17 50 Again both of these products are excellent They whip away any traces of makeup oil and dirt quickly and easily I personally prefer the regular strength cleanser I found the extra strength cleanser to be a little drying and it had that strong detergent y smell to it I agree with Heather that the regular strength cleanser is my absolute favorite cleanser of all time and I would highly recommend it for anyone not just the acne prone Biological Clay Mask 4oz for 40 This is a super creamy clay mask with a bit of a sting to it I found that the product was so creamy it s a bit difficult to get the prescribed 1 8 inch thickness on the face I absolutely loved what this product did for my skin It exfoliated my skin leaving it feeling clean and soft My skin literally glowed after using this product and it needs only to be left on for 15 minutes a definite plus for me as a busy mother Unlike many products of this type this clay mask does not need to dry on the face to do its job SPF 25 Sunscreen 4oz for 21 First of all let me say that you will definitely need a sunscreen when using this product line This sunscreen that comes with the Try Me Pack is applied over wet skin and only a pea sized drop is needed to cover the face and neck so it will last you a long time in fact I m still using the first bottle that I purchased I don t mind telling you that initially I felt that as a woman of color most of my sunscreen was built in however I have found within the last two years or so that I do have sun damage to my skin so I ve been searching for a sunscreen that works Until now I hated sunscreens for a number of reasons usually they are sticky and tacky and impede my makeup finish because titanium dioxide usually causes ashiness and graying on the skin of women of color I don t know how Ms Strickland did it but this product does NOT cause any of the graying I normally associate with titanium dioxide products In fact I even tried this product on my husband who is a dark Coca Cola brown and once the product dried even on his dark skin no ashiness Women of color everywhere if you buy nothing else from Sage get this product Finally there is a sunscreen that works for us 6 12 and 20 Smoothing Creams and 20 Smoothing Gel 2oz for 60 Personally I found that the 6 cream was simply too gentle for my skin It didn t do a thing for me The 12 and 20 creams I find I use more nowadays that my skin is a little dryer because the weather is cooler However the Smoothing Gel is the powerhouse of these glycolic acid products During the initial trial period Ms Strickland suggests that the smoothing gel be used only once a day for a month There is good reason for this It can and will cause irritation and the skin must adjust to it I could not recommend this product to any one with sensitive skin or to anyone with a low pain tolerance because it stings burns However once my skin adjusted to this product I found that it was not only a FABULOUS exfoliant but also a fantastic oil control lotion and wrinkle line eraser My crow s feet have completely disappeared and my skin even in the summer did not produce nearly the amount of oil it usually does I have found now in the fall that it is a little too aggressive and have started using the creams on my face instead of the gel Gelloid Moisturizer 4oz for 40 During the summer months I found this moisturizer to be too rich for my skin It kind of lays on top and did not absorb well However I found it was a great moisturizing mask after using the extra strength Miracle Zit over night and the At Home Peel Now I substitute it for the reformulated hydrating emulsion with extra moisture Old Lady Cream 2oz for 40 Unlike Heather I liked the Old Lady Cream but I am a number of years older than she I found it to be an asset as a sealant in both summer and fall against the elements and pollution My makeup application flowed better when I used it especially during the initial trial period when my skin was a little rough I don t like it much as an eye cream though it s not powerful enough but it is very soothing on the face and moisturizing without being greasy 10 Miracle Zit and Extra Strength 10 Miracle Zit with Sulfur 4 oz for 23 I loved both of these products although I found the extra strength to be the better product for me While using these products I have found that I have had absolutely no acne break outs even during my hormonal time of the month These are aggressive products though This product cannot be used around the eyes and can travel if applied over wet Smoothing Gel I found that it was best to allow the Smoothing Gel to dry before applying the Miracle Zit It congeals less when applied this way and does not travel up near the eyes It will cause a great deal of SWELLING if gotten around the eyes so be careful Also it will bleach out dyes on clothes pillowcases sheets etc so allow the product to dry thoroughly before retiring for the evening If you have sensitive skin and are acne prone you may prefer the gentler versions of these products I actually saw improvement in my skin in a 24 hour period Because I was so impressed I bought two others that Ms Strickland offers Ooey Gooey Exfoliating Mask at 15 4oz for 60 This was the only Sage product that I did not like Although I found it to be a quick convenient treatment for my skin I did not think much of the exfoliating qualities of the product I don t think that it really stays on the face long enough it dries in about 10 minutes which doesn t do much for my face My skin was soft but I found that the Biological Clay Mask actually did a better job for me and it is cheaper The Ooey Gooey Mask does have a very strong acid y smell and in my opinion doesn t exfoliate enough to warrant the price tag I sent this product back and Ms Strickland was nice enough to give me credit toward anther purchase even though the product was used At Home Peel 2oz for 70 This is another powerhouse product which is fabulous but I cannot recommend for those with sensitive skin or those with a low pain tolerance I was actually a little worried about using this product initially sine so many products like this can cause uneven lightening of the skin tone of women of color However I did not find this to be the case with this product It is a Very Aggressive Product It definitely STINGS However if you can stand it for four minutes it should not be used for longer than that you will love the results I have found that this product has helped me to remove almost all signs of sun damage on my cheekbones driver s side UV damage and my skin is like porcelain after using it Although it may seem a little pricey there are actually 40 50 treatments in this bottle so it actually averages out to be fairly reasonable for what you are getting I found that this product could be very drying even on oily skin if used too often so I used it once every 7 10 days with lots of ice and Gelloid after the treatment I would highly recommend it to anyone who can tolerate the stinging and can do with a little UV damage reversal Well there you have it my Sage experience Overall I think this is a fantastic skin care line that although it is a little pricey it definitely delivers what it promises One final testimonial one day while using this product line I was running late for class and was gasp sans makeup in the city A man walked up to me and asked me if I had ever modeled before Not wanting to get into a long discussion with a stranger I said No He handed me his card and said Well if you are ever interested give me a call It turns out that he was a VP for a very reputable Modeling Talent firm in New York I m not interested in modeling anymore since my life has moved on to other things but thanks to Sage it s nice to know that maybe I could have modeled again and my skin wouldn t have played up on me My hats off to Ms Strickland her company and her products I m a convert Does this mean I won t be trying other skin care lines Absolutely not You ll be hearing from me again as I ll be back with more reviews You can find Sage Skin Care at http zerozits com SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Sage Advice Skin Care report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel When I m not locked up in my bathroom testing cleansers and trying different brands of eye shadow I am regularly online surfing around for interesting beauty sites During a recent jaunt I discovered Sage Skin Care by Barbara Strickland Barbara is a published author and has 17 years experience as a Para Medical Esthetician Her Sage Skin Care site features products she has created to treat acne fine lines wrinkles and skin discolorations Barbara also shares some great information in articles about preventing acne avoiding common skin care product ingredients that can aggravate acne and using sunscreen religiously Here are a couple of Barbara s tips that I now swear by Wash your face with slightly warm to cool water Hot or very warm might feel good but that heat makes the skin swell and your pimples get irritated Now that we re getting into summer try using cool water and see how refreshing it feels In Barbara s words Be an acne detective Learn about product ingredients and which ones to avoid This advice alone has made a marked improvement in my skin far beyond what any one cream or mask could do I never realized just how many ingredients I was using regularly were making my problem skin worse When you first visit Sage Skin Care and browse the selection of products you may wonder why everything seems a little expensive This is not another skin care line charging high prices for fancy packaging and expensive advertising what you are paying for is truly product quality and unbelievable service For every customer and every product ordered Barbara will work with you to get the best results for your skin whether that means exchanging products reformulating ingredients or customizing a program that suits your needs I only wish every shopping experience could be so warm personal and thorough Corrective Grains 17 50 for 4 ounces Because Barbara will re blend her products depending on your skin s reaction to the initial formula made of ammonium lauryl sulfate aloe vera benzoyl peroxide 2 polyethylene beads aloe vera and preservative I actually tried two versions of this scrub The first was a little too grainy and drying for my skin so Barbara made a new blend with fewer scrub grains and more cold pressed aloe vera and hydrolyzed sunflower oil which worked wonderfully for me I also modified my program so I use the scrub once a day in the morning rather than morning and night I almost can t imagine my morning without it Facial Shampoo 17 50 for 4 ounces Again some trial and error led me to trying three different versions of this cleanser The first was a little too drying for my normal to dry skin made of ammonium lauryl sulfate aloe vera hydrolyzed safflower oil allantoin panthenic acid and preservative so Barbara sent me two other formulas one foaming with more cold pressed aloe and one non foaming with hydrolyzed safflower oil I love both and use the foaming in the shower and the non foaming at night This cleanser is very gentle and removes all your makeup effortlessly without irritating your eyes SPF 25 Sunblock 21 for 4 ounces For my pale skin sunblock is something I already use faithfully but never really liked Almost all the ones I ve tried are thick too white smell awful or leave my skin feeling greasy Barbara created hers to work with the water left on your skin after cleansing so it absorbs more quickly and easily into your skin It contains octyl methoxy cinnimate uvb octyl salicylate uvb menthyl anthranilate uva titanium dioxide uva plus aloe vera If you never use sunscreen because you hate the consistency consider this one I don t get ready in the morning without it Gelloid Moisturizer and Masque 40 for 4 ounces Here s another example of trying more than one formula The original Gelloid made of cold pressed aloe vera allantoin hydrolyzed safflower and sunflower oil panthenic acid chamomile vitamin c and preservative wasn t absorbing well into my skin so Barbara tweaked it for me The only downside is that I can t use it around my eyes if it gets anywhere near them my eyes get red and teary Otherwise this is a great lightweight cream that makes the skin feel supple and smooth Glycolic Acid 12 Smoothing Cream 60 for 2 ounces I ve been an advocate of AHAs for acne prone skin for quite some time and I ve tried just about every brand out there I can honestly say I like this one the best Unlike most AHAs this one also has BHA salicylic acid and vitamin C in a surprisingly non comedogenic base of aloe vera allantoin hydrolyzed safflower oil and hydrolyzed sunflower oil that smooths the skin and reduces fine lines and blotchiness from old acne I ve had better results and less irritation with this than any other AHA I ve tried Old Lady Cream 40 for 2 ounces This is the only Sage product that didn t wow me It s a basic moisturizer that seals in the moisture on your skin I used it on some dry patches and around my eyes for a while but didn t see a dramatic difference My re formulated Gelloid plus a regular eye cream I m using Alpha Hydrox now do a better job for me Miracle Zit 35 for 8 ounces At the heart of the Sage acne fighting program is this benzoyl peroxide cream It s free of the irritating fillers that most drugstore brands have and is designed to be used on your whole face or wherever you regularly breakout as well as for spot treating individual pimples Personally I could only use it on individual pimples my skin does not react well to benzoyl peroxide all over so I use prescription erythromycin gel and Differin all over my face instead XX Miracle Zit 40 for 8 ounces For especially large cystic pimples this extra strength cream works quickly within 24 48 hours without drying your skin to death This version is NOT designed to be used all over your face One of the best ways to try Sage products is in a Try Me Pack For around 50 you get 2 ounce sizes of the products most appropriate for your skin complete with Barbara s great service and advice If you want to try the products and see how your skin does this is a great way to do it For more information about Sage Skin Care including product descriptions and online ordering visit http www zerozits com SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Prescriptives report by Sage of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I had a makeover done recently at my local Prescriptive s counter and it was a success The artist determined that I was in the Yellow Orange color grouping I already knew this and the colors she used were primarily from their new spring line I already use their Virtual Skin foundation in color Real Beige and their blush color in Pretty Tan I like to wear my make up in very neutral tones so she concentrated on those colors One product in particular really interested me It was their eye liner pencil in Goldie I would never have tried it out on my own but she applied it to my lower lid and it actually looked pretty cool I would probably reserve this color for evenings out because wearing Gold on a normal basis doesn t really appeal to me I wouldn t really call my experience a makeover because I really didn t look much different than when I walked in I know what I like and I tend to stick to those colors She did however introduce me to a red Vixen that actually looked good on me It has alpha hydroxy in the lipstick and that she said will help my lips keep healthy With the rest of the colors intact she changed my brown lipstick Mocha for Vixen and the look was completely different I looked more sophisticated and older On nights out the color will look fabulous Overall the whole experience was fun and I took home a sample of Virtual Skin in a cute little bottle I have the larger normal size but this is perfect for traveling when I don t want to lug around a full size bottle SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT This week s Featured

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS RoC report by Judith of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel RoC is a popular skin care line in Europe and Canada While promoted for all skin types the ingredients are not appropriate for anyone with oily or acne prone skin All of the products left my normally normal to dry skin soft but the oil content in each product was so high that I would definitely not use these products on a regular basis or recommend them to anyone else All products are readily available at your drugstore Cleanser Toner in One 6 76 fl oz for 8 99 While this product touts itself as being for all skin types I cannot imagine anyone without dry skin using it The texture is very oily and it is very hard to remove from your skin This non lathering cleanser is very oily to the touch While it is supposed to be unscented I found it had a peculiar smokey odor to it The cleanser is supposed to also contain a toner but I saw no evidence of this In fact my face was so oily after using it that I barely needed moisturizer for the rest of the day In case you haven t already noticed I was not impressed with this product and would not recommend to anyone especially those with oily skin who are prone to breakouts The only upshot of this product is that it leaves your skin feeling very soft ChronoBlock Active Prevention Daily Moisturizing Cream SPF 15 1 35 oz for 16 99 I thought this might be a good thing to use for daily SPF protection under makeup but was sadly disappointed It is very greasy and is not well absorbed by the skin at all I felt it was more like a suntan product than something I would wear under makeup Hydra Effet Reservoir Long Lasting Moisturizer Normal Skin 14 99 Another disappointment The product does not soak into your skin but leaves a shiny film on top My makeup was ready to slide off my face by 10 a m and that is not usually a concern for me Retinol Actif Pur Anti Wrinkle Treatment for Night 1 01 fl oz for 16 99 This was the only cream in the group of products I tried that actually was absorbed into my skin Of course wearing it at bedtime I really didn t care if it did or not Most of these products promote the fact that they contain retinol but retinol is almost at the end of the ingredient list in each case where it is used at all Packing was neat and unobstrusive although the tube of Anti Wrinkle cream for night was quite small in relation to the size of the box They must have known that because there was an actual sized diagram of the tube on the back of the box Each product except the cleanser contain several

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Robert Craig report by Gayle of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Robert Craig well known master colorist in New York developed a line of hair care products specifically formulated for the different types of water that we wash our hair in everyday Three types of shampoos are available Soft Water Hard Water and Extremely Hard Water His product line also includes Conditioner Spray Gel Mousse Leave in Conditioning Spray Pomade Shine Spray and Finishing Hair spray He also has a No More Bad Hair Days Kit which sells for 19 95 It contains three 2oz bottles of the different shampoos 2oz leave in conditioning spray and 12 water test strips This kit is great for travelers because they never know what kind of water they ll be using I have been looking for something to remove the minerals and awful looking deposits left on my hair due to the extremely hard well water where I live Yes country living does have one drawback We have a water softener but it does not seem to do the trick I feel very fortunate to have found these products because since I ve used them my hair looks fabulous I have salon colored blonde hair and the color has come back to life Extremely Hard Water Shampoo 9 for 8oz I used this clear shampoo and in a week my hair felt soft and smooth The orange color began to fade and it did not feel sticky anymore This product lasts a long time because you only have to use a dime size dab at the most It lathered well and rinsed out easily Malibu 2000 shampoo which also has a formulation for well water does not hold a candle to this shampoo Conditioner 12 for 8oz This rich conditioner has a nice clean scent and is excellent to use after the shampoo for detangling and putting moisture back in the hair Again you don t have to use alot You can even leave some of it in your hair and it will tame the frizzies I ve used many other conditioners but this one made my hair feel soft and not greasy at all Leave in Conditioning Spray 12 for 8oz This spray is used after the shampoo and conditioner It helps to further condition moisturize and it also has a sunscreen to protect the hair from the damaging sunlight I really liked the clean smell of this product and felt that it does a great job to protect against the blow dryer and curling iron that I use everyday I tried Avon s Leave in Conditioner just recently but I like Robert s better Spray Gel 10 for 8oz I m not one to use gel that you have to smear on with your hands Too messy for me Give me a bottle of spray gel and let me go on my way This gel is so good because it provides the light to medium hold that I am after It definitely adds body and shine to the hair And it also contains sunscreen What more could you ask for I am definitely sold on these products as my hair never looked better I just ordered the whole line of products yesterday Robert Craig s web site is robertcraig com and is the largest haircolor site on the web This is a really neat web site with hair care tips and an electronic hair consult with the master himself You can order these products on this secure site If you live in the city or country these products are definitely worth a try PS If you are into coloring your hair at home Robert has developed a hair color called Effect of Nature which works with water and does not contain a trace of ammonia peroxide or alcohol I may be trying that next review 12 99 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER JANUARY 97 RETURN IT How many times have you bought a foundation a cleanser or a cream of some kind that you just didn t like for whatever reason It smelled funny It made you breakout It burned You waited your 8 days for those miraculous results and you saw nothing For whatever reason I am here to tell you to TAKE IT BACK It s okay You won t get arrested by the cosmetic police With so many products to choose from and with prices as high as they are if you aren t completely satisfied with every cosmetic you buy you have the right and the obligation to your face to take it back Return receipt I have returned dozens of products like this cleanser that made my cheeks burn It was this product that alerted me to my allergy to witch hazel I did exchange the cleanser for a different formula but I ended up returning that one too because it was too drying Now you re thinking Sure Heather can take products back but I could never do it Not true The only way cosmetic companies will know if their products need improvement is if we tell them and returning something that doesn t work is one way to let them know Here are a few tips for successful product returning Be friendly Cosmetic salespeople are people too so be friendly but to the point If the product made your face break out into a million little red bumps communicate that you are upset and see if she has any suggestions for other products if you are still interested in that line Be direct Tell the salesperson that you want to return the product and why You should also be clear if you want a replacement product a completely different product or a full refund It s your money so don t let the salesperson make the decisions for you Be confident Don t let the salesperson try to convince you to keep the product if you really don t like it Also don t fall for the We don t accept returns line They need you to be happy with your purchase or you might tell all your friends never to shop there again and they know that Try before you buy Get into the habit of asking for samples Trying the product for free and having a reaction to it is less frustrating than paying 50 100 for a cream that gives you a rash If the counter doesn t have pre packaged samples ask if they can make one up for you Most of the department stores now have little round pillbox containers for the sole purpose of dispensing samples from the product testers so you can take some home Don t let one bad experience ruin your fun with cosmetics I have had several bad reactions to products but you can t let that stop you from trying new things If you get to know your face what you are sensitive to and what formulas typically work for you you ll better be able to choose products that might work on your skin Don t forget that cosmetics are supposed to fun and skin care is supposed to make you feel good If you don t feel like you re getting what you paid for TAKE IT BACK SHOP Get what you need plus save time and

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT September 24 1999 It never ceases to amaze me how many new products there are out there that I ve yet to try I ve added this week s finds to my personal makeup bag Shu Uemura Mark Cealer 19 Do you ever get the sense that everyone is talking about a particular product That s the vibe I got about this concealer from Shu Uemura During a recent trip to San Francisco s Sephora I finally picked up a tube of this amazing stuff Packaged like many other cream concealers in a tube with a sponge applicator wand but that s where the similarities end Mark Cealer a kooky name if you ask me has opaque coverage that isn t thick or mask y I am continuously amazed at how little I need to cover dark circles or red spots on my face My best advice is be sparing Once you get the hang of it you can easily use it instead of foundation on a pretty good skin day when you have just a few things to hide Set with a little powder and you re ready to go At first I thought 19 was spendy for concealer but considering how long this tube will last me and how good it makes my skin look I don t mind the price Stila Lip Polish 28 Although I think Stila is pricing this and the Convertible Color below a bit steep I do like the texture colors and delivery system of this lipcolor The lipcolor is inside a slim silver tube that has a lipbrush on one end a few twists at the base sends the color up the tube and onto the brush Christian Dior has a product like this too You can line and fill in with just a few strokes but what I like the best is the feel somewhere between a gloss and a lipstick It is my current lipstick addiction I have a tube of Brilliance a cool pinky nude in my purse and a tube of Luster a sheer medium rose in my vanity makeup bag Lip Polish also comes in Varnish Glaze Sheen and Shine Even if the price seems a bit much stop by your local Stila counter to at least try it on I think you ll like it as much as I do Stila Convertible Color 28 I also like this dual cheek and lip color but I think Stila is off the mark with the price Between 15 20 would be a more reasonable range in my opinion Convertible Color is a creamy but surprisingly sheer wash of color that you can use both on cheeks and lips It comes in a very pretty small mirrored compact that is the same color as the product inside I had the pleasure of trying the 3 newest shades Orchid Poppy and Rose and found them all to be very flattering giving my skin a natural glow For me Convertible Color lasts longer on my cheeks than my lips but since the formula is so light I didn t mind putting more color on my lips to touch up during the day I was also surprised that I could put Convertible Color on my cheeks OVER foundation and powder without it caking or clumping This is a nice bonus since most cream blush has to be applied on bare skin which never works for me These new shades along with Camellia Magnolia and Peony are available now at your local Stila counter call 1 800 883 0400 for locations EyeTip Eyeshadows and B Box Lipcolor 7 50 each When I saw these at Sephora I thought What a clever idea Each box has 6 Qtip type plastic swabs with a coating of color on the end There are two different complementary colors 3 swabs of each packaged in a plastic tray in each box For lips I got Tea Silk Iced Mocha I found it to be very creamy and easy to apply but also very easy to smoosh if you aren t careful If you use the swab to draw the color right on your lips it works great if you try to use your finger or if you press it too hard on your lips you ll see how soft the lipstick really is Mine got smooshed when I couldn t get it all the way back in the tray so I tried gently pushing it down with my finger Oops For eyes I wanted something neutral so I chose British Khaki Taupe British Khaki is a light beige and Taupe is medium uh taupe duh The eyeshadow is silky and a little shimmery but unfortunately not creaseless by mid afternoon some of the color from my lid had wandered into the crease and collected there The swab design makes me want to just draw it right on my eyes but they give you a sponge applicator also Is that for applying or blending I wonder There are no directions on the box so I did a mix of both For the light color that I wanted all over my lid I found using the sponge applicator to pick up color from the swab and then applying it to my skin worked the best With the darker color I used it like a pencil liner to draw the color directly from the swab onto my skin All in all EyeTips and B Box are nifty and fun probably best for traveling or to have in your purse I can t see using them instead of traditional products on a daily basis at home SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Remede report by Elaine of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Remede skincare made by Remede Ltd now in the US formerly in Canada is fast becoming a hit with those of us in search of a flawless face and let s face it Who isn t With its emphasis on vitamins botanical ingredients hydration and oxygenation Remede s 16 item product line appeals to people with all skin types but especially to those who have given up hope of finding help for problem skin I first learned about Remede the way many others have by way of little blurbs in Vogue InStyle and other fashion magazines And when I finally had it with my oily breakout prone skin I scheduled a free consultation at Manhattan s Bliss Spa which was the only carrier of Remede that I d ever seen listed The aesthetician diagnosed my skin as dry on the surface oily underneath from using too many harsh skincare products Apparently I was drying out my skin with the toners gel cleansers and anti acne medication I was using and my skin was overproducing oil to compensate giving me major skin problems as a result These are the products I began using on the aesthetician s recommendations and what I think of them Make no mistake Remede products are not cheap but a little goes a long way The company would win more fans if it provided its distributors with samples for customers but until then you re largely out of luck Milky Wash 200 ml tube for 28 A creamy cleansing milk suitable for any skin type Milky Wash was the first product I tried from the Remede line The night I got home from my consultation at Bliss I washed with it and instantly knew this product was different I massaged some onto my dry still made up face the best way to use it I find and watched my makeup disappear then I rinsed it off by splashing my face no rubbing or scrubbing with a facecloth My face wasn t red and irritated as it usually was post washup but it still felt very clean I initially was skeptical because I didn t know how something creamy could possibly be good for my oily acne prone skin but this felt so good and cleaned so thoroughly I didn t care Sweep 80 ml tube for 36 An extremely gentle exfoliating scrub for the face that provides exfoliation without irritation even for the most sensitive skins Prior to using Sweep I d been using Freeman s Alpha Hydroxy Sugarcane scrub and before that St Ives Apricot Scrub Little did I know how much damage I was doing to my face with those two products Sweep is different from most other facial scrubs in that its scrubbing granules made from marble powder have rounded edges which make them much much gentler than the sharp edged drugstore brand scrubbies but still very effective I usually mix in a dab of Sweep with my Milky Wash to cleanse and exfoliate simultaneously Warning This product is extremely addictive Body Care Cream 200 ml for 36 A rich and creamy hand and body cream Nothing to write home about especially considering the high price tag But it s very gentle and has just the faintest fragrance which is good for people who like a nondescript lotion that won t interfere with a favorite perfume Ingredients include antioxidants humectants and botanical extracts Dissolve 100 ml for 22 A non oily makeup remover that will remove every trace of mascara and any other stubborn makeup residue I liked Dissolve because it didn t sting my eyes the way some makeup removers do but unless you re a die hard Remede fan I think a drugstore brand makeup remover would work similarly well Energy 80 ml for 65 This product is difficult to describe and explain It s touted as an oxygenating moisturizer and is used on the premise that oxygenating skin will rid it of bacteria one of the main culprits of breakouts Available in normal dry and oily skin formulas it s a great lightweight moisturizer that for me at least seems to help keep breakouts under control At Bliss the aesthetician applies this cream to my face before spraying it with liquid oxygen straight out of the tank during the infamous double oxygen facial I only use this cream in the fall and winter when I need a moisturizer not all year round In short I am a big fan of Remede skincare It is very pricey but the change in my skin since I started using it is more than worth it to me I just try to use everything sparingly to really get my money s worth This is one product line that really lives up to the many rave reviews it receives Where to Buy Remede Remede products can be ordered from Bliss Spa in Manhattan by calling 212 219 8970 from the spa s BlissOut catalog at 1 888 243 8825 in person at 568 Broadway in New York City or on the coming soon BlissOut Web site at http www blissworld com Remede also is available at EFX Salon Spa in the Georgetown area

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Prescriptives Magic report by Sandi of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel It s like nothing I ve ever seen before Magic was seven years in the making and was recently launched by Prescriptives Sharon Stone wore the products in the movie The Muse She was used as a sort of guinea pig if you ll pardon the expression Magic is not skin care nor is it make up There are a total of only six products One size fits all No colors no pigments What the heck is it Well it claims to resurface the skin s texture and by gosh I think it really does The secret is in manipulating light The products refract light and trick the eye into thinking it sees a more perfect complexion It evens out the tone and really appears to shrinks pores When applied the products feel cold the powder even feels wet and cold Weird You could ve knocked me over with a blush brush Well Magic is certainly a fitting name for these new products The magic however describes the products and the feeling when applied not the results on my skin Yes it makes a difference on my face but by no means are we talking magic here I have a very ruddy and scarred complexion Magic magically toned down the redness evened out the color and my face appeared smoother Not smooth but smoother I felt OK about wearing Magic out of the house without foundation and I rarely go out without foundation I felt as comfortable about how my face looked as when I am wearing foundation I think it s great for days off or for around the house or going to workout It truly doesn t look like you are wearing any make up yet it makes you look good Maybe I ve been living under a rock but I don t remember hearing about these new products Apparently I m the only one though because it is extremely hard to come by I panicked when Kelly an extremely helpful and friendly salesperson at Nordstrom told me they were out of all products She gave me generous samples and then even called Macy s to inquire about their inventory Finally Kelly found one item a Cooling Wand I practically screamed with delight I bought the last piece of Magic that Nordstrom had Kelly explained the shortage is because Prescriptives had no idea their recent Magic launch would create such a demand Hmmmmm sounds to me like another brilliant marketing plan a la Ms Lauder herself She was well known for creating lots of demand for her new products The 6 Magic products are Illuminating Liquid Potion 30 Used for unevenness and discoloration It comes in a small bottle with an applicator like in a paste jar and is applied by hand or with a sponge The applicator is just to get the product out of the bottle The Potion is worn over moisturizer and under foundation or just skip the foundation Illuminating Cream Potion 35 Same as above but for people who want more coverage It comes in a compact and is applied with a sponge or your fingers I read that it is recommended for those suffering from rosacea but personally I prefer the Liquid Potion Liquid Powder 30 Wear it alone or on top of foundation It s a translucent powder with water beads it s 70 water Apply it with a brush It feels cool and wet but it s not I usually don t care for powder but this is really different and as soon as it is available I ll buy it I plan on wearing it sans foundation Some days I just don t feel like going through the process if you know what I mean Cooling Wand 28 This is what I bought It comes in a tube like a fat tall lipstick so it can easily travel It promises to cool soothe refresh and tighten the eye area and it does At this point in my life my eyes are my biggest cosmetic concern Seems I always look tired with circles under my eyes In my opinion the Cooling Wand is the best solution this side of plastic surgery Cooling Globe 30 It looks like a very small clear light bulb filled with liquid It is to be kept in the freezer although it never actually freezes kind of like vodka The top is not removable Use it on your face and neck by placing the rounded bottom directly on your skin It promises to revitalize cool and delete puffiness Invisible Line Smoother 35 This gel product is cosmetics version of spackle I think that s what inspired it It comes in a small tube and is applied from the tube directly into the line or scar you want filled Sounds like spackle to me Apply over moisturizer

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Peter Thomas Roth Clinical Skin Care report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Peter Thomas Roth has been mentioned in quite a few magazines lately so naturally many of you were interested in the Cosmetic Connection perspective PTR has a large selection of products for conditions like acne and sensitive skin as well as vitamin creams lightening lotions and sunscreens I selected several that sounded interesting and relevant to me Let me preface the following reviews with one overall comment These products are too expensive There I said it While there were several that I liked I have hard time justifying spending this kind of money especially if I were to buy the products again and again I don t know about you but I don t have a money tree in my backyard Medicated BPO 5 Acne Wash 22 for 8 oz I chose this acne wash at the height of a recently pimple y period gotta love hormones and although it didn t help my acne it did help me realize once and for all that my skin is definitely without a doubt sensitive to benzoyl peroxide Thanks to this cleanser I now know I can t use this cleanser If BPO works well for you this is a mild cleanser that can treat and help prevent acne on your whole face just be sure not to get it near your eyes Oxygen Mist 35 for 8 oz This is a spray toner with oxygen electrolytes aloe vera zinc vitamin C and bioflavanoids I honestly have no idea how much good any part but the aloe will have on the skin but I can say that it made my skin less red and any blemishes I had less inflamed Oxygen Mist is fragrance free alcohol free and dye free which makes it nice for sensitive skin The label says you can also use it to soothe sunburn shaving irritation insect bites heat rash itching and other minor skin irritations Silica Strawberry Scrub 30 for 8 oz The main ingredients in this scrub are polyethylene granules almond meal and silica with a tiny amount of strawberry thrown in so they can make the product s name sound more attractive Strawberry or no strawberry I found this scrub to be too abrasive even when I used just a tiny amount I can think of several scrubs that I like better like BeneFit Honey Snap Out Of It Scrub Sage Corrective Grains Youngblood Papaya Enzyme Scrub and even Biore Mild Daily Cleansing Scrub Glycolic Acid 10 Moisturizer 40 for 2 oz If you like a strong AHA this one may be for you Glycolic acid whole leaf aloe vera and vitamin C are the main powerhouses in this light but effective lotion Thankfully at this price you only need a small amount to cover your whole face I liked this product but couldn t continue using it because it was actually too strong and ended up irritating my skin Too bad since I liked the lightweight texture and non greasy feel Ceramide Moisture Renewal 45 for 2 3 oz If you have normal to dry skin and are not prone to breakouts at all this is a nice medium weight nighttime moisturizer with safflower oil and shea butter I really wanted to like it but had to stop using it when I kept seeing new tiny superficial blackheads popping up on my cheeks Daily Defense Moisture Cream SPF 20 35 for 2 3 oz This is one of my favorite PTR products Don t let the name cream fool you this oil free sunblock moisturizer is lightweight and excellent for all skin types It s greaseless absorbs instantly doesn t leave a white cast on the skin and blocks out the sun s UVA UVB rays with octylmethoxycinnamate titanium dioxide octyl salicylate and benzophenone 3 Power C 20 Anti Oxidant Serum Gel 85 for 1 fluid ounce I started using this oil free liquid gel serum about two weeks ago and only notice a subtle difference right after I apply it my skin looks rosy and feels firmer The label claims the vitamin C 20 L ascorbic acid will help increase collagen production help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles help facial contours look and feel smoother firmer and more youthful and help protect against future free radical damage But since I can t really measure any of that I can t tell if it s working or not I do like the tightening feel when I put it on in the morning so I will probably continue using it but won t get more at over 80 a bottle Power C also has ginkgo boloba hyaluronic acid green tea extract superoxide dismutase and beta glucan and should work for all skin types except very sensitive I think if I had to choose my PTR products over again I would have gotten Sensitive Skin Cleansing Gel which I actually just ordered from dots2 com Glycolic Acid Clarifying Tonic Botanical Buffing Beads and Tinted Protective Day Cream These products seem more in line with my skintype so I hope to have reviews of them soon review 7 10 99 After my first review of PTR I wanted to explore a few other products I found this great little kit at Beauty Habit that I couldn t resist For 52 you get a black travel bag filled with 2 ounce sizes of Chamomile Cleansing Lotion Aloe Tonic Botanical Buffing Beads Cucumber Gel Mask Ceramide Moisturizing Body Lotion Titanium Dioxide Sunblock SPF 30 one ounce Oil Free Moisturizer foil packet You definitely pay more for the convenience of this kit but I like that I sample the different products without getting stuck with the full 8 ounce size if I don t like something Chamomile Cleansing Lotion 30 for 8 ounces I thought for sure with a name like cleansing lotion that this would be a creamy milky sort of cleanser but was I ever wrong It s really a lightly foaming cream with a hint of chamomile It does a good job of cleansing removes all makeup and leaves the skin feeling really soft and supple which is nice You also only need a pea sized dab to clean your whole face but I still think for what you get a fairly basic cleanser 30 is pretty steep Aloe Tonic 30 for 8 ounces This is another fairly basic product but in the case of a toner I think basic is good I like the very short ingredient list here water whole leaf aloe vera vitamins preservative and I found the aloe to be very soothing With no alcohol no fragrance and no colors this is a decent but spendy choice if you have sensitive skin Botanical Buffing Beads 30 for 8 ounces I first tried the Silica Strawberry Scrub from PTR and really didn t like how rough it is The Botanical Buffing Beads scrub is legions better gel base lightly foaming with tiny spherical jojoba exfoliating beads It s super gentle great for any skin type and has whole leaf aloe vera so it s soothing You also need the tiniest amount for your whole face so an 8 ounce bottle will last a long time review 10 99 Environmental Repair Hydrating Gel 35 While the rain sometimes bothers me here in Oregon the one nice thing about it is that my skin stays fairly hydrated All it took was four days in Las Vegas to turn my face into the flakiest most irritated mess you have ever seen I practically ran to Sephora looking for some relief This lightweight gel with whole leaf aloe vera one of Peter Thomas Roth s most commonly used ingredients was calling my name Just a few pumps applied thickly to the driest areas of my face made all the difference in the world the flakiness and redness disappeared overnight I layered this gel under my regular moisturizer and sunscreen but you could easily use it alone on dry areas or all over your face if you like a lighter feeling product I love this gel because it works but it s not sticky gooey oily or greasy review 1 00 AHA Kojic Under Eye Brightener 48 Although many of us are resigned to the fact that a good concealer is about as close as we ll come to ridding ourselves of dark under eye circles there are plenty of creams claiming to eliminate them for good The Peter Thomas Roth line has quite an assortment of skin lighteners and this one for the eye area is actually worth a look This medium weight cream contains glycolic acid in a low enough concentration so it doesn t irritate kojic acid a skin lightener and azelaic acid a naturally occurring acid that helps the skin renew itself more quickly to work on those dark circles and safflower oil and shea butter to moisturize and make fine lines less noticeable After using Under Eye Brightener twice daily for about a month I do think my eyes look less tired and the darkness I ve had in the corners and just under my eyes has diminished Considering that you can choose from many department store and boutique eye creams that sell for much more and do much less I think this one is a good choice at a decent price review 2 00 You can find Peter Thomas Roth products

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Profaces Liquid to Powder Foundation report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel From the folks at Profaces who brought you makeup artist quality color kits and professional brushes at wallet friendly prices comes a brand new and I think unique liquid to powder makeup 24 95 Most foundations that are called liquid to powder are actually a cream in a compact this is in fact a liquid that turns into a powdery finish on your skin The texture is silky and has very good coverage even on hard to cover areas like redness or dark circles The one aspect of this makeup that stands out to me is that it is not for someone who never wears makeup or doesn t like the feel of makeup on their skin This foundation is for the true makeup lover who appreciates the way a product looks and feels If you are the kind of person who uses her fingers to blend her foundation or eye shadow because a brush feels too detached this makeup is for you Product details Silicone based oil free but does contain beeswax with vitamins A and E Should work well for any skin type but very oily skin might like some loose powder to stay shine free Comes in five shades 1 For light porcelain to pale beige with cool undertones 2 For light to medium neutral beige with warm undertones 3 Neutral beige to medium beige with warm undertones 4 Deep beige with golden undertones 5 For dark skin with cool undertones Should you decide to buy a bottle online you ll also get a free pink flocked sponge with your first purchase For details and ordering visit http www

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Proactiv Solution report by Aina of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Perhaps it was the stress of getting married or the summer heat but my face was prone to more breakouts and oil than it had ever been I was desperate I didn t want to show up on my wedding day with a face full of blemishes and an oil slick on my nose I read articles reviews and saw the infomercial and finally broke down and purchased Proactiv Solution Yes I know there s an infomercial about it how could I but hey I needed something to work and the products I had tried with salicylic acid was making my face look worse I ordered it from the web and it seemed to take forever to receive my first shipment of the Renewing Cleanser Revitalizing Toner Repairing Lotion and Refining Mask The Renewing Cleanser felt great I m not a fan of non foaming cleansers but my face felt really clean with this one It removed all of my makeup and my skin felt so soft when I rinsed it off I wasn t sure what the Revitalizing Toner does that s so special I usually don t buy special toners I m a witch Hazel person but I used all the products as directed I really like the Refining Lotion My skin didn t feel dry after using it even though both the cleanser and lotion have 2 5 Benzoyl Peroxide I didn t have to wait before putting on my makeup and even though it did nothing to control my oil they do have a product called Daily Oil Control which I have yet to try my skin started improving in about 2 3 weeks I used the Refining Mask once a week and really liked what it did for my skin I used it on a few big blemishes over night and saw improvement by the next morning It s got sulfur in it which I never know would work on acne but it worked great for me I m happy to say I was blemish free on my wedding day The only complaint I have about Proactiv is that the cleanser and toner get used up well before your next shipment comes in so you do have to be sparing when using it The bottom line is it s a great system that I actually admit to people I use SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Proactiv Solution report by Deanna of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel This is another series of products distributed by Guthy Renker Judith Light Mackenzie Phillips and two dermatologists Dr Katie Rodan and Dr Kathy Fields advertised it I bought the 3 piece system 39 90 shipping and handling which included the Renewing Cleanser the Revitalizing Toner the Repairing Lotion and a free Refining Mask I tend to break out anyway and after the Selleca Solution I really needed something to help clear my skin Here s how it went The Renewing Cleanser This is a gentle exfoliating cleanser with beads and 2 5 benzoyl peroxide It felt terrific on my irritated face It removed every trace of my makeup including the stay put variety It is not recommended for the removal of eye make up though so this must be done separately The Revitalizing Toner I m not a toner person I think that it is a wasted step after all pores don t open and close However I found it very refreshing on my skin and it felt even better after I started putting it in the refrigerator It contains very small quantities of glycolic acid which I wouldn t think was enough to make a difference The cleanser works so well I didn t notice makeup or dirt on the cotton pad after a swiped my face with the toner so I m not really sure what the toner actually does However I used it anyway The Repairing Lotion This product felt really good on the skin It really soothed my face and absorbed quickly I could put my makeup on almost immediately after applying the product Even though this product contains 2 5 benzoyl peroxide initially I didn t find it the least bit drying or uncomfortable The Refining Mask This clay based mask should be used about two to three times a week It contains 6 sulfur and zinc oxide as its active ingredients It definitely dried up my oily skin and left my face smooth after each use Believe it or not this product line was actually worked My large pimples and whiteheads were pretty much gone in about three weeks Although I still had a few blackheads I liked it so much that I not only reordered it I ordered some other products from the line as well These included the Oil Free Moisture with SPF 15 and the Proactiv Blemish Stick Oil Free Moisture with SPF 15 Price 26 50 This was a pleasant moisturizer I found it came in handy at about the three week mark of using Proactiv Solution when I found that my skin became a little dry and felt a little tight I don t usually like sunscreens too sticky and tacky but this one was fairly pleasant to wear on my face The drawback titanium dioxide whitening unfortunately this moisturizer does give an ashy white cast to the skin which can be seen almost immediately upon application But it is effective and passed the oil free acid test Luckily I didn t really need to use it for long The dryness passed after about a week when I began to use the mask only once a week instead of twice Proactiv Blemish Stick Price 19 50 The blemish stick contains 6 benzoyl peroxide a good deal more than the original formulation It is designed for site specific application I found it worked well on individual pimples particularly the larger ones drying them up in about two to three days Proactiv also makes a fairly comprehensive line of other skincare and haircare products as well as line of makeup that includes foundation medicated concealer and powder If you are interested in the Proactiv Solution and you can find it at www choicemall com All things considered I m very happy with Proactiv Solution In fact I am still using it My husband and younger sister are using it too It s definitely a great skin care line for the price and worth the money because it works I would highly recommend these products for people with mild to moderate breakouts My only wish is that it did more to address aging skin but for now it s my primary skincare selection That is until I find something else better Now that the baby is born and I can get moving again I ve traded in the TV remote for the car keys I ve still got my credit cards Watson the game s afoot SHOP Get what you need plus save

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS ProActiv Solution report by Debra of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel After having tried everything from expensive plant based skin care lines to Retin A to monthly antibiotics I was desperate to find something to help my adult acne I m in my late 30 s It was that desperation plus an article on ProActiv in Allure Magazine that led me to break my personal ban on infomercial products and finally buy ProActiv Solution I bought my first pack on the Internet not off the TV or a magazine ad The Complete 3 step Kit consists of Renewing Cleanser 4 oz Revitalizing Toner 4 oz Repairing Lotion 2 oz Since I have sensitive skin I was skeptical to use what looked like three aggressive products on my face at once But I was so frustrated and the customer endorsements seemed so sincere that I decided to follow the program for at least one month no matter what might come I started out slowly with the repairing lotion using it only once per day I also continued using a medium heavy night cream in case the benzoyl peroxide was too drying Both the cleanser and repairing lotion have 2 5 benzoyl peroxide the toner has glycolic acid and witch hazel extract The cleanser feels very nice The instructions say not to use it to remove eye makeup so you must remember to do that as a separate step The cleanser consistently removes all of my makeup I don t use the won t rub off kind My skin doesn t feel tight or stingy like it does with some soaps even those that call themselves mild I can t really define what the toner does that I can see Again I promised myself that I d follow the program as described so I used it religiously The refining lotion is the biggest surprise It feels wonderful and banishes any dryness that may remain Although it is really a medicated lotion it absorbs quickly smells nice and spreads smoothly I ve found that it works best to wait about 5 minutes after applying the lotion to apply my makeup base My skin adapted well to the regime The only time I experienced over drying was when I used the Refining Mask 6 sulfur too often For me using the refining mask once every 7 10 days is plenty I have also moved to using the refining lotion twice per day and have dropped my night cream Some days I lightly apply an oil free Clinique moisturizer in the evening I religiously use eye cream morning and night The overall texture and clarity of my skin has improved noticeably For 3 weeks of the month I have no pimples plus fewer blackheads I still get one or two big cyst like pimples every month but that is fewer than I was getting and they clear up much quicker So after 7 1 2 weeks of use I m a believer I ve run out of cleanser but still have plenty of the other two products left Now I m anxiously waiting for my next shipment which as a Club member should be shipped to me every 60 days The ultimate test will be how good my results will be through a long hot Texas summer SHOP Get what you need plus save time

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Prestige Cosmetics report by Connie of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Recently I had an opportunity to try some products by Prestige I considered the trying of these products a part of my never ending hunt to find great deals on cosmetics Long Lash Mascara Cils Extreme with Keratin 2 99 This mascara is not a bad one but it is not the best I have used either I found it to be lengthening but the drawback was it did not thicken very well and went on a bit to liquid for my taste However for mascara to use for light touch ups at the end of the day this mascara could fit the bill What a great price Hypoallergenic Blush in Chambord and Rosewood 2 99 What a find I loved this blush It came in a nice black screw top case and did not insult me by offering a useless brush to go with it which I hope kept the price down The blush lasted an extremely long time without starting to fade or become blotchy It goes on smooth and has a soft texture to it In fact I have it on as I am writing this review Both colors were absolutely beautiful The Rosewood is a matte plum color which I really like for daytime The Chambord is also a plum but has some shimmer to it I liked this color for night I have been seeing shimmer in the fashion magazines lately so I thought I would try this color and not break my pocket book So if you are in the market for a new trend I would recommend trying the Chambord for that extra dazzle You cannot go wrong with this line by Prestige and there are tons of shades to choose from both in matte and shimmer Way to go Prestige I am sold Hypoallergenic Eyeshadow in Chill 2 99 I had such great luck with the blush I definitely had to try the eyeshadow and I am glad I did Another great buy from Prestige The eyeshadow is comparable to any of the higher end department store shadows that I have purchased In fact what prompted me to buy this shadow was an ad I saw in a magazine recently for a higher end shadow and the new trend of snow white on the lids This Prestige color is a frosty light light purple color and looks really trendy on I like the texture of the shadow as well It lasted a long time and never left my lids feeling oily and absolutely did not crease Prestige has tons of colors to choose from both in matte and shimmer You cannot go wrong with the shadow either Ever Wear Lipstick in Iced Mocha 4 20 I love the tube this comes in It is one of the thin twist tubes that I find fill the lips better and are easier to manipulate than the standard thick twist up lipstick tubes That was the first plus aside from the price The next was the fact that this lipstick is a great matte lipstick It went on great and stayed on beautifully all day long I did not notice a decrease in coverage until late in the day and then I reapplied and it lasted well into the evening It is a matte lipstick so it did get a bit dry for me towards the later half of the day but I just applied some lip balm and it did not alter the color at all and worked well to add moisture to my lips I loved the color ability of this lipstick It added a thick solid color to my lips Another great deal by Prestige All in all I found the line to be most impressive and will be buying it again in the future I purchased Prestige at Ulta 3 but I have seen it at other drugstores review 11 11 99 SHOP Get what you need

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Prescriptives report by Deanna of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel As I ve said before I love autumn cosmetic shopping this always includes my ritualistic rounds through all of the department stores Because this is the time of year that I tend to change colors and fade from my usual yellow tan to a vanilla pudding shade I figured I d stop by Nordstrom and have a quick Prescriptives makeover to see what the line has to offer This line is always touted to women of color because it has a HUGE selection of cosmetic foundation shades Also my Nordstrom s Prescriptives counter actually offers custom blended foundations and powders and I ve found that the custom blended powder is extremely valuable when used to correct ashy tones when using other brands of foundations For 40 there is enough powder to last at the very least a year and this includes a handy dandy refillable travel container Needless to say I am a Prescriptives yellow orange big surprise huh My first reaction to the Makeup Artist was not positive she was trying altogether too hard to make a sale I understand that the makeup artists are paid partially on commission of the products they help to sell but come on If I have a card on file that indicates that I am a current customer I don t need any further prodding to buy products The other thing I didn t like was that the makeup artist steadfastly refused to allow me to see the product ingredients before putting the products on my face even after I explained that I was acne prone She actually cost herself more sales at least from me Also like many people I find that department store lighting really isn t sufficient to custom blend colors I had to bring back my powder for the addition of extra yellow Liquid Foundation with SPF 15 in Fresh Tan 1oz for 30 Even though I prefer a medium foundation finish the makeup artist applied this foundation with a brush telling me it would help me to use less foundation and at thirty bucks for an ounce this is important However I personally felt that the finish was too sheer This foundation was a decent match although a shade too dark for my current skin tone went ashy on me This is something I really didn t expect especially at this price Also given that this line is marketed to women of color I would have thought that the company would have conquered the ashiness problem within their products It did however hold up well through the day without any touch ups But the makeup artist s resistance to allow me to see the product ingredients made this foundation a leaver not a keeper Y O Concealer in Extra Dark 15 The name of this product was a complete surprise I ve never been called Extra Dark anything It is very similar in price and packaging to the Merle Norman concealer that I really liked Merle Norman s version is a little cheaper though It works well as a concealer and eye shadow base and would have been a keeper if I didn t already own the Merle Norman product Unfortunately I couldn t get a gander at the ingredients for this product either so I can t say how similar the two products really are Eye shadows in Toast Tea Leaves and Dandelion 12 each Like Stila the eye shadows are sold individually and a customer must purchase a case for them for 5 00 I was not impressed with these eye shadows or any of the others that Prescriptives had to offer Although the colors are very true all of the tones had a distinctly ashy cast to them and were not complimentary to my skin tone Even the makeup artist commented on these products and their failure to look good on me especially since these were naturals in brown yellow family Unfortunately she couldn t suggest any others from her line that I should try either These eye shadows were leavers The makeup artist was trying so hard to make a sale that I didn t complete my makeover I just asked her to blend up my powder so that I could go I took a look at the blushes and lipsticks and found that these may have been better products for me In particular I liked the blush in Fire a lovely bronze shade with a hint of shimmer and the lip glosses Cocoa at 16 per tube was an immediate favorite I also purchased Prescriptives Super Line Preventer 1fl oz for 45 I ll try anything once especially if it will help battle the aging process I was disappointed with the Super Line Preventer It contains hyaluronic acid supposedly to draw moisture down into the skin Unfortunately I didn t experience any hydrating qualities while using this product for 1 month It reminds me a great deal of Clinique s product Stop Signs in that it is an expensive feel good item Overall my recent Prescriptives experience was not a positive one however I cannot live without the custom blended powder with oil control so I ll have to go back Oh well it ll be at least a year Maybe I ll try the custom blended foundation next if Prescriptives can lick the ashiness problem Prescriptive products are available at Nordstrom or by calling 202 598 4400 where you can find your nearest retailer Happy Shopping review 10 25 99 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Prescriptives Skin Care report by Sondra of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Just like any modern American woman I have tried numerous skin care lines Some are good and some are bad Well just my luck I was able to try the Prescriptives skin care line for free We re talking full size products here I was fortunate enough to do some promotional work for Prescriptives at my local Nordstrom and for my time and effort I earned 600 worth of Prescriptive products So naturally the first thing I ordered was the skin care products for oily skin There are two sets of skin care items by Prescriptives The first is called PX Daily and the other PX As Needed PX Daily skin care products are for everyday use All Clean Sparkling Gel For Oilier Skin 18 50 6 7 oz This is one cleanser that I really enjoyed It s oil free and non stripping for oilier skins It controls and normalizes the oil in your skin which really does leave it fresh and clean This cleanser has a green fruity smell and it lathers well I used this mostly during the hotter months when my skin goes into oil overdrive Even though I got this product for free 18 50 is quite steep to pay for a cleanser So if you re not up to spending a lot of money for this cleanser I would recommend trying Basis Cleaner Than Clean gel cleanser instead It s also for oily skin but you can find it for around 4 99 at your local drugstore or discount cosmetic store It s the same if not a rip off of the Prescriptives brand All You Need Action Moisturizer For Oilier Skin 32 50 1 7 oz This moisturizer is at best fair in my opinion It s not the best I ve tried but it s effective It s suppose to provide continuous moisture and gentle exfoliation contain Alpha Hydroxy Acids The only problem I had with this one is that if I used it over a long period of time say six months I d start to break out I used this product when I had nothing else around I m glad I didn t spend money on it Line Preventor 3 45 1 oz Line Preventor is oil free but it s supposed to go along with the cleanser and the moisturizer whether you re dry oily or in between It s suppose to guard the skin against free radical damage caused by UV light smoke and pollution According to Prescriptives everyday use improves the appearance of existing surface lines and prevents visible signs of aging Well personally I really didn t see a difference when I used this product even though I have friends who swear by this stuff If you re interested in using Prescriptives products I would skip this one especially if you re fairly young Maybe when I m older this will be something I ll go for PX As Needed skin care products are what you may need when you have a nagging skin care problem that needs to be taken care of right away Comfort Lotion 30 1 7 oz I can actually say that I liked this product a whole lot better than the All You Need moisturizer for oily skin Comfort Lotion is for skin that s oily and sensitive It was lightweight and a little went a long way It s perfect as a basic moisturizer for younger skin If I didn t get it for free I would actually buy this It was wonderful Blemish Specialist 17 1 oz If you re like me you ll get an occasional pimple every now and then Blemish Specialist was created especially for grown up skin It serves the same purpose as the pimple cream you used as a teenager only this one s more expensive I would usually go for a cheaper brand but I did find that this lotion actually works A little dab with a cotton swab on the localized area goes a long way Purifying Scrub 18 50 3 6 oz This scrub serves a dual purpose as a mask and or an exfoliator I actually use this one as an all over body scrub and it really gives my skin a nice healthy glow

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Prescriptives Brushes report by Kanita of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel By now we all know how important it is to have a good set of brushes so in search for a good all around eyeshadow brush I checked out the brushes at Prescriptives Now I m not that crazy about Prescriptives cosmetics because I think that they are overpriced however I was very surprised with the price and quality their brush collection The set of 6 basic brushes contains a brush for powder blush eyeshaping crease eyeshadow eyeliner and lips The brushes are made of synthetic fibers as opposed to natural hairs such as goat or squirrel One of the pluses of their synthetic fibers is that they are not that porous and therefore pick up less powder and color than some natural hairs The powder brush is big and fluffy and delivers a light dusting of powder for a sheer look or you can add layers of powder for a more matte finish When shopping for a good powder brush or any brush for that matter I always do a tug test in which I pull or tug at the bristles to see how many come out This is one of the ways I test the quality and durability of a brush If a lot of hairs come out then more than likely your brush won t stand up to much washing and won t last as long you would probably like A good brush should last years if not a lifetime and be able to stand up to weekly washings Prescriptives brushes stood up pretty well against my abuse Few if any bristles came out of all of the brushes and trust me I tugged hard The blush brush was also pretty good although not as tapered at the top as I prefer My favorite brush and the one I bought was the eyeshaper brush This is an all around great eyeshadow brush The bristles are very soft and angled Once again as with all of the brushes from Prescriptives set it deposits only a light dusting of color that you have to layer on which makes this set great for both beginners and the more experienced brush user You have control over the amount of color used We all know that it s much easier to add eyeshadow than it is to take away from it without disturbing the rest of our make up Although the eyeshaper brush is billed as being perfect for applying shadow to the crease I also liked it for application to the lid and for highlighting as well Because the brush is angled if you turn the tip of the brush toward the inner part of your eyelid the part close to your nose and swipe outward it makes a perfect lid application For those who like a more natural look one or two swipes of color would be perfect For those of you who have a dark complexion like myself or simply like more color you might prefer 2 or 3 layers Also when applying highlighter this brush glides a light layer of highlighter just below the eyebrow making it an all around great brush to have especially as part of the brush set you carry around with you for a quick eye color application Hint This brush works especially well with frosted shadows matte pale colors will need a few layers no matter what your complexion is Because of this brush s versatility the separate eyeshadow brush Prescriptives makes was unnecessary to me The eyeliner brush has a flat head for applying powder shadows which I personally don t care for For applying powder liquid or cake liner I prefer an eyeliner brush that is angled The lip brush was also your basic lip brush but there were not enough bristles for me It took more effort for a precise lining and fill in All in all this is a pretty good quality set of brushes Each brush is priced as

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Phytologie report by Deanna of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Although I am of mixed heritage there is absolutely nothing mixed about my hair In its natural state my hair is strictly AFRO American It is very thick fairly coarse and kinky I have worn my hair waved shaved dyed fried curly permed cornrowed braided and extended Despite what the media says in my opinion my hair is not wash and wear therefore it takes me some time to evaluate hair care products Currently my hair is relaxed with Mizhani products and is about two inches below shoulder length When evaluating new hair care products I always begin the trial period right after a chemical treatment I use the new line until it is time for another touch up This period ranges from 6 to 8 weeks Because my hair and scalp are always dry after these chemical treatments I am always looking for products to moisturize my hair and scalp This time I tried Phytologie products Some of the best hair care advice I ve ever gotten was from Beverly Johnson s book True Beauty Secrets Of Radiant Beauty For Women Of Every Age And Color see below for note In her book she discusses using mildly acidic shampoos and conditioners and how to test the pH of these products I have included the pH information for those readers who find the pH of hair care products important Phytomousse S88 6 8fl oz for 15 00 This product is recommended for ultra dry hair It is a brownish color and is very thick and rich The product smells wonderful It contains the usual surfactants lathering agents and orange blossom oil It comes in a heavy glass bottle which actually caused me some concern It is my understanding that the products are package in glass to protect the plant extracts However to me this is rather dangerous since I usually shampoo my hair is the shower and the combination of wet hands lathering agents and glass is just an accident waiting to happen Personally even after using this product for eight weeks I did not notice any significant moisturizing effects to my hair In fact my hair became rather fly away It has a disappointingly neutral pH of 7 0 Given the price of these products I had hoped for better results however this product may be better for chemically untreated dry hair Phytobaume 6 8fl oz for 15 00 Like many people with my type of hair I find that my hair tends to tangle and catch itself easily particularly at the ends So I purchased this product which is used after shampooing as a detangler It is basically a slip agent On the positive side this product did help detangle my wet hair especially when used in conjunction with a wide toothed comb It is very lightweight and smells pleasantly It too contains plant extracts mallow but is packaged in plastic On the negative side I found that my hair actually felt softer when I did not use this product The pH of this product is 4 0 so it did quiet down my frizzes however I personally didn t like the residual feeling this product left on my hair no matter how much I rinsed After about 3 weeks I stopped using it I would recommend this product for people with frizzy curly or kinky hair because it does work and the way the hair feels after use is strictly a matter of personal preference Phyto 9 Daily Ultra Nourishing Cream 1 7fl oz for 18 00 This is a daily use conditioner in an aluminum tube It has a rich mildly oily consistency and contains macadamia nut oil This was my favorite product of the Phytologie line It is very lightweight and dries very quickly It helped to detangle in particular the ends of my hair and in my opinion helped prevent some of the breakage associated with a new relaxer Although not as moisturizing as I would have expected on my chemically treated hair it may be a better product for untreated hair Unfortunately it has a pH of 6 0 so it didn t help with the frizzes however it is a nice lightweight daily treatment It is a little pricey for the amount you get in the tube however if you have naturally dry hair it may be worth the investment Overall my opinion of the Phytologie product line is pretty neutral It is kind of pricey given the pH values of the products I have had better results with some beauty supply store and drugstore products priced at about half of this line however all the products smell great and are very rich in consistency These products may be better for untreated naturally dry hair You can find Phytologie products by calling 1 800 55 PHYTO for the nearest retailer or through Bliss Out the Bliss Spa catalogue Note Unfortunately this book is currently out of print however it may be found at your nearest library It also contains information on care of Asian hair and Hispanic Latino hair for those that may be

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Prescriptives Photochrome Makeup report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel There have been quite a few new arrivals in the cream to powder category of foundation over the last year or so 1998 and I always look forward to seeing what s next Prescriptives has finally jumped on the bandwagon with their new Photochrome Light Adjusting Compact Makeup 35 and I am pleased to say it is one worth trying Many cream to powder brands go from one extreme to the other too dry or too creamy too powdery or too greasy too oil control or too moisturizing but Photochrome is really the happy medium It s lightweight oil free no plant animal or mineral oil has medium to full coverage that still looks natural SPF 15 titanium dioxide and it s transfer resistant to look great all day The Prescriptives salesperson I spoke to recommends Photochrome for people with normal or normal to dry skin but with winter just around the corner I imagine those of you with combination skin or a very slight oily tendency might like it too Personally I love that it covers flaws well while still looking fresh and skin like and it doesn t accentuate dry areas I also found it also doesn t aggravate acne or cause new breakouts like many creamy foundations can My one and only gripe with this product is that it is not refillable meaning you have to spend 35 every time you run out Like many cream to powder formulas like Vincent Longo Water Canvas and Shiseido Liquid Compact Photochrome comes in a locking compact to keep the product moist and fresh It would be nice if you could refill the same compact Overall I ve been really happy with it and would definitely buy my warm vellum shade again review 10 09 98 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Philosophy report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Looking for something truly unique and different in skin care Philosophy has created something truly out of the ordinary The Great Awakening skin rejuvenation treatment 25 two versions pink for skin that burns in the sun blue for skin that tans combines a powerful enzyme gel with an oxygen foam to give you a deeply exfoliating facial at home Philosophy says you ll see smoother cleaner and brighter skin in just one use and for the most part I found that was true In Step One you apply the catalase enzyme gel to the skin which begins exfoliating the skin you can feel it heat up It then acts as a carrier for the oxygen foam in Step Two which delivers both oxygen and water to the skin This deep infusion of oxygen allows for maximum exfoliation of the skin revealing fresh new cells and improving the rate of cell regeneration My skin did look fresher and more alive after one use and I haven t need a regular scrub The only irritation I experienced was from removing the foam for really deep exfoliation Philosophy recommends you either shave yes you read that right the foam off or use the enclosed spatula to scrape it off I scraped If you are sensitive or the notion of scraping or shaving doesn t do it for you you can also just rinse it off After using The Great Awakening Philosophy recommends using an anti oxidant to protect the fresh newly exposed cells from environmental damage I decided to try Hope and A Prayer topical vitamin C 45 their newest and most unusual anti oxidant product Unlike other vitamin C products I ve tried you actually mix Hope and A Prayer fresh every time you use it the kit comes with a bottle of vitamin C powder and a bottle of oil free liquid solvent great for any skin type and made with algae and ginseng extracts Not only does this method ensure the vitamin C is stable but it allows you to choose how strong you want it to be If you ve tried vitamin C products that made you break out were too weak or too strong Hope and A Prayer might be just what you re looking for For Philosophy locations near you call 1 800 love 151

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS What s Behind The Philosophy report by Sondra of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Day 1 11 00 a m I finally received my first assignment as a new member of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel My first assignment was at the Philosophy counter at Nordstrom Because of my excitement the same day I received my assignment I rushed over to Nordstrom on my lunch hour to see what tasty samples I could lay my hands on Well to my surprise there was no one to wait on me at Philosophy I was so disappointed I didn t have a lot of time so I decided to wait until the next day to visit the Philosophy counter But before I left I looked over some of the products they had on display I cracked up at some of the descriptive names for the products such as Stuck In The Mud and Eye Believe I did try some of the Kiss Me Lip Balm 8 5 oz I applied the balm over the Bobbi Brown Chocolate Lipstick I was wearing It has a very nice sheen to it and it s sort of fragrant It feels really nice and wears very well Not too sticky and not too greasy Day 2 11 00 a m I finally made it back to Nordstrom to check out Philosophy and was greeted by Andrea the Philosophy artist She was really nice and very helpful She asked if she could be of any assistance and I told her that I was interested in changing my skin care products and that I wanted to see what they had to offer Before we really got down to business she went through the whole spill about the company their philosophy and the product being featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show and the whole nine yards When she asked me for my skin type she started preparing samples for me without me asking for them Wow She recommended that I try the products first so that I could become familiar with them Since I have normal to oily skin these are the products that Andrea recommended Real Purity 15 6 oz It s a one step daily facial cleanser that s supposed to get rid of all the dirt and makeup including mascara Imagine that Well after testing it out for three days I found that I really liked it It takes a little elbow grease to get it to lather up the consistency is a bit watery but it really got my skin clean and I didn t have that dried out feeling I usually get right after washing my face When I m ready to switch to a new system this will be high on my list Wiped Out 15 4 oz Andrea thought this cleanser would be good for me too I used it after I worked out the same day I got it This is suppose to be a cleanser moisturizer in one It ended up being like washing your hair with conditioner It simply did not work Seemed more like a moisturizer than a cleanser I only used this once I would not buy Hope In A Bottle 30 2 oz This one s a winner with me Any moisturizer that can keep the oil under wraps is okay in my book Hope In A Bottle is an oil free lotion that s suppose to normalize oil production That s something I really need especially when the weather gets warmer and my oil glands go into overdrive 30 is too steep of a price to pay for moisturizer so I ll find hope somewhere else for a lot cheaper I may consider buying this later I ll enjoy my sample for now Deeply Superficial 18 2 oz This was an interesting product It s an exfoliating scrub that looks like a glossy red clay with a fruity smell It contains papaya pineapple and pure honey I liked this one For an exfoliating scrub it wasn t harsh and gritty like some others on the market Not only did I use it on my face but I used it all over my body It s kind of sticky and I had to use a little water to spread it out but it did make my skin soft and it gave it a nice glow I think I ll buy this in the near future Rescue Mission 16 2 oz A weekly facial mask that relieves and soothes tired skin It s for all skin types Another winner It s smells fruity and medicinal at the same time For a mud mask it didn t pull my skin or harden really tight which was nice I used this sparingly since a little goes a long way When my sample runs out I will buy it Kiss Me 8 5 oz After wearing this all day after my first visit to Philosophy I like it so much that skipped the sample and bought it It contains Vitamin E orange kiwi and sweet almond I ve been using it as a lip conditioner to sleep in overnight As a primer before I put my lipstick on or over my favorite lipstick This is definitely a must have For

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Philosophy report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel One day while wandering through Nordstrom I stumbled on a new line called Philosophy Philosophy is the non prescription retail version of BioMedic products which can be obtained from dermatologists I told the counter woman a bit about my skin and what my typical routine is I told her I have had reactions to products before so she said she would make me some samples to take home After winning my samples I proceeded to find out about what I had gotten Unfortunately the woman at the Philosophy counter knew a little but not much about the products When I asked her what percentage of AHA is in their alpha hydroxy acid product she couldn t tell me The only thing she was sure of was how great their products are Real Purity cleanser 15 for 6oz Definitely did not like this product The consistency was way too watery it foams so little you feel like you don t have any in your hand and it really dried my face out Yuck Sorry Philosophy but this product did not work for me Hope in a Bottle AHA lotion 30 for 2oz I really did not like this product After further investigation I discovered that this product contains both AHAs and salicylic acid and is really best for a more oily skin I am much happier with my Alpha Hydrox brand AHA lotion which is 8 percent glycolic acid and costs just 7 for about 6oz at your local drugstore Eye Believe eye cream 25 for 5oz Even though I told the counter woman that I rarely use eye creams maybe she thought I needed one because she gave me this sample My thought was I m only in my 20s how many wrinkles can I have Their eye cream was okay a light consistency that absorbed well What I didn t like was that it has AHAs not sure how much and I could feel it like a slight burning sensation around my eye This was very bad Kiss Me lip balm 8 for 5oz I really liked this one and actually broke down and bought it At 8 for 5oz I thought it was a ripoff at first but it really lasts a very long time so I am pleased Shelter SPF 15 daily wear sunscreen for the face 16 for 2oz This is a nice sunscreen for someone with normal to oily combination or oily skin The texture is nice and light and the finish on my face is much more matte while still non drying that any other sunscreen I ve tried It is a little more than I care to spend on sunscreen though for such a tiny bottle Hope in a Jar AHA cream 30 for 2oz I got a sample of Hope in a Jar which is different from the above mentioned Hope in a Bottle The Jar version is for normal to dry skin while the Bottle version is for normal to oily Both are exfoliating but the Jar version is a gentler lactic acid rather than the Bottle s salicylic acid So far I like Hope in a Jar but there is no way I will spend 30 on a tiny 2 ounce jar of anything Let s Get Something Straight 12 for 4 ounces This product is supposed to make wavy or curly hair straighter but that s not what happened to me If I had my old college hair style long and curly this might have been a fine product but it only made my short style wavier To get this product to work you really need to vigorously blowdry your hair straight by using a brush but doesn t that miss the point Isn t that what anyone with wavy or curly hair has to do anyway Again some Philosophy products are good but I m afraid this isn t one of them Deeply Superficial enzyme mask 18 for a 2 ounce jar When you want the spa facial feeling at home use this It exfoliates both with ground up corn cob meal and with fruit enzymes from pineapple and papaya as well as soothing the skin with honey the mask s first ingredient This mask does have some kaolin clay but not so much that the mask or your face feels tight or dry either while you re wearing it or after you ve rinsed it off For a great overall skin refreshing mask I highly recommend this one The Pocket Book 45 The best way to consolidate a makeup bag is to have everything you need in one small case brushes and all I was thrilled when I happened by my local Philosophy counter the other day and discovered this complete kit in a tiny wallet perfect for travel The Pocket Book includes sunkissed blush prosperity eyeshadow four mini lipsticks in suntan SPF 15 dedication liberation and wisdom and a travel brush set for blush eyeshadow liner lipstick and blending It all comes in a black leather tri fold wallet with pockets to hold everything great for adding your own things too This is by far the best set I ve seen for travel or just for your purse to carry everything you need SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT This week

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER OCTOBER 98 PREGNANCY SKIN CARE To all my sisters in pregnancy this month I am pleased to bring you reviews of several of the skin care products you may be considering for this glorious time in your life Whether you have stretch marks achy legs swollen feet blemished skin or a little of everything I hope my experiences with these products will help you make the best decisions for you I ve listed each product alphabetically and rated them on a scale from 1 to 5 stars for your shopping convenience Stretch Mark Creams There s no evidence that any lotion or potion can make stretch marks disappear or never appear at all but we can keep trying My mission in trying these creams was to find the best lotions to relieve that itchy stretched out feeling that most pregnant bellies get along the way BeneFit Avocado Body Potion 16 for 8 ounce bottle at BeneFit stores counters or through mail order 1 800 781 2336 There is no law that you have to use pregnancy specific lotions so I tried this avocado lotion from BeneFit one of my favorite companies for skin care It moisturizes without a greasy feel and smells fantastic Depending on how dry your skin gets this lotion may work better during the warmer months The Body Shop Mama Toto Cocoa Butter Stick 10 95 for 2 4 ounce stick at The Body Shop stores If you love cocoa butter this is the one for you The portable stick is great for applying the cream wherever you need it and the chocolate smell is absolutely divine Just draw it on wherever you look or feel stretched Be careful however if you are suffering from morning sickness or food aversions since the strong chocolate smell may make you a little queasy I couldn t use this until my fourth month when food started to smell good again The Body Shop Body Butter 11 95 for 6 2 ounce tub at The Body Shop stores If you are very itchy or already have dry skin check out one of these body butters Each one mango avocado and nut combines fruit or plant oils with shea butter and or cocoa butter for a rich super moisturizing skin treat in solid form Just scoop some out warm it in your hands and spread These are great for fall and winter Clarins Body Toning Oil 68 50 for kit with breast gel available at maternity stores I wasn t sure how I would feel about a body oil versus a cream but I ve actually liked it better The oil is more conducive to massage which I finds feels soothing and helps me get in touch with what my baby is up to in there grin The oil soaks in surprisingly fast and has a warm herbal smell Mustela 9 Response Stretch Mark Cream 26 for 4 25 ounce tube at speciality maternity stores This is the first cream I tried and during the warm summer months its slight cooling sensation felt great It s lighter than most of the other creams I tried so if you are very itchy or have very dry skin it may not give you all the moisture you need Foot and Leg Products As your pregnancy progresses your legs and feet will get tired faster and often feel hot or swollen You ll be pregnant at some point during the summer and the heat and humidity only make our natural rise in body temperature more unbearable The Body Shop Cooling Leg Gel 3 for 2 ounce bottle at The Body Shop stores The cooling peppermint oil in this gel made it one of my favorites over the summer for both feet and legs It s especially good when you can relax for a minute smooth some gel on and put your feet up The peppermint tingle lasts for several minutes and really does seem to help Mustela 9 Response Tired Legs gel 19 for 4 25 ounce tube at specialty maternity stores I liked the smell of this gel but the cooling effect didn t last on the skin as long as I would have liked especially for the price If you like something more subtle this might be nice but I don t wholeheartedly recommend it Nectar Cosmetics Aloe Vera Instant Cooling Gel around 9 for 5 ounce tube at Nectar Cosmetics stores and online Aloe vera gel combined with cucumber and chamomile extracts made this gel the most refreshing especially for legs of all the brands I tried The cooling sensation lasts for quite a while and you can ever use this gel on sunburns or irritated skin Nectar is a little hard to find I got mine from their website but they have some wonderful products that are worth looking for Vaseline Intensive Care Solutions Smooth Feet cream 4 for 3 1 ounce tube at drugstores and supermarkets If your feet are tired swollen and dry all at once you must try this cream It has a gentle combination of alpha hydroxy acids AHAs to exfoliate dead skin and moisturize as well as a blend of peppermint oil and menthol for a super cooling feeling The best part is the mandatory time you have to put your feet up to let it soak in and give you some relief Breast Care This category is great for before and after pregnancy since you ll want to keep the skin moisturized to prevent itchiness as well as get relief from soreness or dryness when if you breastfeed One note most of these products are not to be used while you are breastfeeding since the skin needs to be as free of soaps lotions and perfumes as possible Treat yourself to their moisturizing benefits before you deliver The Body Shop Mama Toto Nurturing Cream 4 50 for 1 7 ounce tube at The Body Shop stores Designed specifically for sore nipples from breastfeeding I can t say I ve the opportunity to test it in that capacity yet but it is a nice cream I have used it for those days when my skin was dry and a little flaky and it worked well to relieve it If you decide to or need to use this cream while nursing be sure to let it soak in then wipe away any excess so your baby doesn t come in contact with it Clarins Breast Beauty Gel 68 50 for kit with body oil available at maternity stores This lightweight gel is the companion to the body oil from Clarins and I enjoyed using them together This gel has a similar aromatherapy botanical fragrance but it feels slightly cool rather than warm on the skin It s not very moisturizing but does give you an uplifted sort of feeling If you like natural plant based products this is a nice choice Nectar Cosmetics Serophyte Firming Cream 19 95 for 1 8 ounce jar at Nectar Cosmetics stores and online Of the three bust products I tried this one is the most moisturizing It is surprisingly lightweight but does an excellent job of keeping the skin soft and supple If your skin is dry this is the best choice of the ones I tried SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Paula s Choice report by Anne of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Paula Begoun has been around for many years writing books newsletters and giving her opinions on skin care and cosmetics She now sells her own line of skin care and cosmetics available through the mail and her Internet site paulaschoice com or by phone at 1 800 831 4088 Paula s Choice Skin Care These items can be bought individually or as a set I tried the products marketed for oily skin Trial size products and sets are also available One Step Face Cleanser Normal to Oily Combination Skin 8 oz 9 95 I found this to be an excellent cleaner it is a gentle non foaming cleanser that removes all makeup including eye makeup easily Final Touch Toner Normal Oily Combination Skin 8 oz 8 95 As far as toners go it was fine It s a very gentle formula Essential Non Greasy Sunscreen SPF 15 with Antioxidant 6 oz 10 95 Finding a sunscreen that oily skin can tolerate is a challenge This product is matte and light A dime size dollop is recommended as sufficient to cover the face I found this to be a winner It protects against UVA and UVB rays Completely Non Greasy Moisturizer Normal to Oily Skin 4 oz 10 95 This product is recommended for nighttime use I suppose it is an option if it s needed Remember oily skin does not automatically require a moisturizer I did however like this product Michigan s weather and the constant furnace heat can dry out even my skin Summer humidity is another subject all together 1 Beta Hydroxy Acid Solution 4 oz 12 95 It absolutely feels weightless on oily skin I experienced no skin peeling as I do with AHA products Blemish Fighting Solution 2 5 benzoyl peroxide 6 oz 12 95 This along with the 1 Beta Hydroxy product is a valid consideration for oily blemish prone skins They both feel light on the skin and work well together I found Paula s customer service representatives and service to be outstanding I placed orders by phone on Tuesday and had the products by Friday or Saturday in 2 out of 3 times The reps are friendly and very generous with samples even when I ordered nothing at all The fast friendly service took the sting out of shipping charges Paula s Select cosmetics brushes and miscellaneous Paula has often warned consumers to try products before buying especially color products so it s somewhat ironic that she is offering her own color choices which she divides into cool warm and neutral categories As with most catalogs the color photos are not a true color representation Soft Matte Lipstick ten shades 6 95 for one or 2 00 of a set of five warm or cool tones This is a very matte opaque lipstick If you like this type of texture this is a good choice The mini lipstick sets are a good way to try the product I don t think her cool tones are all that cool Long Lasting Anti Feather Lip liner 9 shades or clear 5 95 This is an automatic pencil that works well Replace the cap after each use or it will dry out and crumble Soft Matte Eyeshadow Cool Tones or Warm Tones Set 34 95 ten shadow Don t expect any shimmer shades or trendy colors here These are great shadows to build a neutral professional eye design They are a great texture go on well wet or dry and are very easy to build with Even the dark colors can go on softly or strongly Great texture for eyeshadow lovers Soft Matte Blush Cool Tones or Warm Tones Set includes five colors 34 95 ten total colors I love the blushes and was surprised that 4 out of 5 colors went well on my light skin tone I love Pale Rose and Dusty Rose Great texture and like the eyeshadows they go on soft or strong All the colors are matte with excellent staying power Lush Mascara 6 95 This is one of the few mascaras that I can wear on my bottom lashes with no smudges It builds length and thickness well For 6 95 it wins over my favorite Lanc me mascara No Slip Concealer 6 95 This concealer lasts and lasts and is not greasy A real find for me I guessed at Light Neutral as my shade and it was right on Brow Hair Tint 7 95 I haven t tried too many of these products and tended to avoid those I did as they made my dark brows too dark This is a light product with a great brush It lasts all day A nice product Brushes sold individually or as a set with case for 64 95 The bottom line is I paid over 60 00 for an excellent Bobbi Brown powder brush with no case For 64 95 you can try the whole set with a great travel case The Powder and Blush brushes are incredibly soft and luxurious The Lip Brush is great and can be retractable for easy travel It is quite similar to the one I have by MAC The Eyeliner brush is a small traditional brush very unlike the large eyeliner brushes favored by Stila and Bobbi Brown today The eyeshadow brushes are flat not fluffy and do a good job of putting on color The wedge brush puts on shadow very softly for under the brow or as an eyeliner brush These brushes are great either to augment your set or as a complete set SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT This week s

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Paula s Choice Skincare report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I have gotten several requests for a review of this line created by consumer advocate Paula Begoun I hesitated for quite a while because I disagree with a product reviewer selling her own line of products it just seems like a conflict of interest to me That aside it is still a line of products like any other so I figured what the heck You never know I might find something wonderful that I can t live without One Step Face Cleanser Normal to Dry Skin 9 95 for 8 ounce tube This milky lotion cleanser does a fine job of removing makeup but it felt a little greasy on my skin and it stung like crazy My skin can be sensitive but this was ridiculous It was so uncomfortable that I had to return it Final Touch Toner Normal to Dry Skin 8 95 for 8 ounces I had a painful reaction to the toner as well burning and stinging Back it went It doesn t seem to have any particularly irritating ingredients since Paula is such an advocate for non irritating products so my skin s reaction was very surprising Completely Emollient Moisturizer Normal to Dry Skin 10 95 for 4 ounce jar I was tempted to send this cream back too because it is much richer than I expected but I decided to save it for winter when my skin really dries out The second ingredient is sweet almond oil so it has a very emollient feel You only need a small amount for your whole face and it s gentle enough to use around the eyes 1 Beta Hydroxy Acid Solution 12 95 for 4 ounces I finally found a winner with this beta hydroxy lotion I have been able to use this lotion instead of my prescription acne medication yay and have been almost completely pimple free for over a month This is my favorite of all the Paula s Choice products I ve tried As with most of her products you only need a small amount of this for your whole face or the area you want to treat I was relieved after my discomfort with the cleanser and toner that I had no adverse reaction to this lotion at all All Day Cover Non Greasy Sunscreen SPF30 Normal to Oily Combination Skin 11 95 for 6 ounces This sunscreen has great broad spectrum protection Octyl Methoxycinnamate 7 5 Benzophenone 3 5 Octyl Salicylate 5 Avobenzone 3 but I would not call it non greasy I had a feeling it would feel a little greasy which is why I ordered the normal to oily version even though my skin is not at all oily If you are careful to use the smallest pea sized amount you can avoid an overly greasy feeling For more information on Paula s

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER MARCH 00 PANEL PRODUCT FAVORITES Patty is a 24 year old college counselor living in the San Francisco Bay area She has an extremely fair cool complexion as pale as you can picture and then some oily to combination skin depending on the season strawberry blonde curly hair and green eyes H ello everyone Heather recently asked the Panel to write about our daily skincare routines I thought this would be simple until I realized that my skincare products change almost weekly So for the past two weeks I have used some of my all time favorite products morning and evening The idea was to see if I could create a routine that works for me Here is what I found Step one Cleanse I have always loved DHC s mild soap No matter how many cleansers I try mild soap is one I always find myself returning to and using when my skin becomes irritated Therefore I choose this as my regular daily cleanser It turned out to be perfect for my combination winter skin If you have never tried this soap I highly recommend you do No matter what your skin type mild soap is gentle yet thoroughly removes all makeup and grime in one wash In fact it s so good you won t even need a toner USA residents can try a free sample of this soap by calling 1 800 342 2273 or visiting dhccare com Step two Tone I am going to gush here There has never been a better toner than Better Botanicals Juniper Toner This toner is one I use even when I don t feel like I need a toner It s just that good My skin literally tingles with freshness every time I use it Those who think toners are unnecessary might change their minds after trying Juniper Toner Made for normal oily skin its ingredients have an anti bacterial effect that helps clear up problem skin like mine Juniper Toner also has anti oxidant vitamin C as one of its main ingredients What more can I ask for The only gripe I have about this toner is the price bottle size I can only find juniper toner in a 15 dollar 3 4 ounce bottle If anyone finds this toner in a bigger more economic size please do let me know Step three Moisturize I have been using two different moisturizers one for day and another for night During the day I love Elizabeth Arden Modern SkinCare Daily Moisturize SPF 15 It s light fast absorbing and makes a perfect base for makeup I also love the fact that it protects my face without being greasy At night I use Neutrogena s Pore Refining Cream It moisturizes and exfoliates with AHA and Retinol This moisturizer keeps my skin clear of blemishes without drying it I recommend Pore Refining Cream to anyone who is not sensitive to AHA If you are not sure you might want to try this product out on one small area to see how your skin reacts before using it all over your face I myself only use it every other night just to make sure that I am not over stripping my skin All of these products put together have worked really well for me this winter I have had fewer breakouts and none of my usual dryness flakiness Let me know if you have any questions And as always happy shopping Verdana Arial Helvetica sans serif vAlign top width 125 Arial Helvetica sans serif Arial Helvetica sans serif

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER MARCH 99 PAM TESTED PAM APPROVED 2 An Updated Look at Personal Picks from our Panelist Pam THOSE CHEEKS Lorac PLUM Blush For years I had leaned heavily toward the subtle shimmer of earthy tan blushes I just couldn t make the pink rosy shades work for my warm undertones This is where I talk about gift with purchases and how fate can change life I was making an phone order from a LORAC counter when I was informed of a special gift with purchase offer The gift with purchase I received was an amazing collection of black mascara MEG pale neutral brown pink lipstick and the PLUM it s plum blush Immediately I was thinking of all of the pink people that I knew that might like the MEG lipstick and the PLUM blush because both items were so not my color This is where I talk about what Saturdays are for Experimenting On a Saturday as a fluke before I threw it in the giveaway pile I spent a day wearing the LORAC Plum Blush It was one of the most significant days of my beauty life because suddenly I was new and fresh My healthy flush was fake but it looked so natural I was in love I haven t really turned back since that day Each time I pick up a tan blush I see the error in my old ways This is my warm pale girl s pick of picks I blush in total happiness THAT SKIN Neutrogena HEALTHY SKIN ANTI WRINKLE CREAM It s a retinol rage and some rages are worth waiting for Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti wrinkle cream is finally a skin smoother that doesn t irritate my sensitive skin This stuff is gentle I hardly know what it is doing The changes aren t dramatic What I can say after nearly six months of use is I haven t had a flaky attack I haven t had any irritating reactions And most importantly I haven t busted the bank at 12 it s a steal and a true gentle way to exfoliate the skin Neutrogena SENSITIVE SKIN SUNBLOCK SPF17 The fire department was getting really tired of me calling everytime I experienced one of those 3 alarm face on fires each time I attempted to try a new sunscreen The sun is your enemy In this day and age only fools go outside without an SPF You will look OLD from the damaging rays of the solar system so many warnings so little time I couldn t find a cure that didn t kill my face That s when a little help from an online friend and another two thumbs up from my dermatologist guided me toward the protected light Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Sunblock be thy name WARNING this sunblock is very emollient and pasty white which could be a real detractor if you aren t pale and or always looking for products like CHANEL s White Colour Perfector or FACE s White Matte Foundation to create a lighter foundation match Warnings aside I love this sunblock and the creamy pearly delicate white residue that it leaves behind It s gentle as milk and my skin drinks it up with absolutely NO irritation Watch out sun THAT HAIR Aveda PURE FUME BRILLIANT Shampoo The truth is my hair had been in a doldrum state for months Summer s harsh dry horror had not improved the condition of my long straight color treated fine hair It was Aveda s Brilliant shampoo that pampered my hair back to life This shampoo is very rich and not for the light of heart when it comes to a moisture enhancing foam Smells amazing and adds enough moisture to the hair that only a light conditioner if any is needed Phyto PHYTOBAUME Untangling Balm My hair is always a tangled mess after shampooing In my driven search to find a detangler that didn t leave my hair oily and ready to be shampooed again the minute I got the tangles out I stumbled upon something extra special PHYTOBAUME with Mallow Applied after shampoo on well rinsed hair and rinsed thoroughly again it leaves the hair strong and tangle free It s an absolute Marvel Pam

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER MARCH 99 PAM TESTED PAM APPROVED PART TWO An Updated Look at Personal Picks from our Panelist Pam In the past year I have made some amazing discoveries Even though the true finds have been few and far between things are looking up for the sensitive skin girl and new and exciting products are emerging everyday that give hope and comfort Although I m hoping that there will be no desert islands in my near future here are some of my must haves THOSE EYES Stila HOLLY GOLIGHTLY and DIAMOND LIL Eyeshadows With names like that how could I say no But having Eyeshadows with cool names was just the beginning of the glory Holly Golightly is genius At first glance this shadow appears to be a blindingly metallic taupe bronze FEAR NOT this is no garish frost With just one application I discovered an eyeshadow that was smooth popped my green eyes and didn t leave even the hint of showgirl Walk softly with the shadow brush for a simple taupe glow add water and wow the world with a deep beautiful lid or get an eyeliner brush and behold the saucy line The same kudos are applicable to the beautiful Diamond Lil Although of the same garish in the tub genre it transposes into the ultimate soft shimmer black brown blue grey and when applied in the crease gives a rested glow Bobbi Brown WHITE Eyeshadow Longing for a snow princess look This shadow melts like gentle clouds onto the lids leaving a sheer innocent hint of cotton Worn alone it gives total polish or wear it as a shadow base and behold its genius THOSE LIPS Chantecaille Lipsticks Every once in a while a line of cosmetics comes along that makes me wonder how I ever survived before That s how I felt when I discovered Chantecaille Cosmetic s lipsticks I had just gotten over a painful breakup with MAC s lipstick pretty on the outside dry on the inside and found myself unable to really make a color texture connection with anything else Wandering aimlessly at Bergdorf s one day a fateful salesperson beckoned me toward the new Chantecaille counter Although I loved the lipstick packaging smart silver tube clever celestial type lipstick names I felt certain that nearly every shade of lipstick that I looked at was terribly dull Alas and thankfully numbing reality was not enough to inhibit me from buying several tubes Little did I know that I was about to embark upon the absolute bliss of a moist gentle long lasting lipstick Here are some tempting shades Muscade Hear me Roar I Love Love LOVE this color Although it looked like yesterday s stew in the tube on the lips it was a fantasy brick brown red with depth and creamy moisture guaranteed to be a nub in no time Mercury It s called a Lip Sheer Transparent The texture is kind of like a sheer matte with depth but not at all drying and the color is electrifying Okay this one looked good in the tube very Sparkling Ruby not frost but sparkle and an incredible show stopper Looks good alone with a dab of gloss on top or combined with other lipsticks Vega Sheer nutmeg brown Cardamom Enchanting redwood Flax Pale gentle salmon with a pinch of brown looks good enough to kiss when combined with Bobbie Brown s white lipgloss Aveda SPESSARTINE Lip Satin This discovery is only weeks old but I m feeling confident that this is a find Aveda cosmetics has taken on a new look for the millennium they renamed renewed and redesigned to minimize packaging and environmental impact which in this case means a sleek new lightweight chic pewter silver tube and an amazing light moist texture to the already tried and true lipsticks I stopped by the Aveda salon for a trim and got a lipstick touchup as I was leaving The makeup artist picked SPESSARTINE lip satin for me a choice I would not have found myself drawn to without this kind of assistance The result was an unexpectedly refreshing coral salmon red that has left me giddy MAC LIPGLASS It s clear it s sticky it s magic MAC lipglass is the icing on many a lipstick day Dab a few drops on top of any lipstick and the rave reviews will soar to new heights Kiehl s BABY LIP BALM The only word for Kiehl s baby lip balm is LUSTROUS Although the original and heavily touted Kiehl s lip balm is also fabulous I prefer the baby balm for its clear sparkling quality THAT FACE Vincent Longo WATER CANVAS Cr me to Powder foundation I had heard a lot of raves about the utter perfection of this ultra expensive foundation before I sauntered over to Barney s to check it out With the collection of failed foundations that I had lying in my makeup drawer I knew this would have to be something really special to hold my attention What can I say but that it not only held my attention but it has captivated me ever since This foundation is cool as in temperature and glides like heaven onto the skin and most importantly it does not irritate It gives the skin a great balance Dryer patches feel moist enough and oily areas don t need powder This is NOT a complete coverage makeup but it does such a nice job of evening out skin tone that the age old question of Does she or Doesn t she wear foundation that is definitely comes to mind It is pricey considering how long one container lasts a maximum of around 2 months if used sparingly and all is lost if the container is not kept tightly sealed it evaporates but I ve looked for a foundation that compares and have not found one that combines all of LONGO s magnificent qualities Although AWAKE and PRESCRIPTIVES both had runners up with great color selections and lower prices both brands left my skin irritated before the day was over Shu Uemura NOBARA Cream Foundation Ever had a zit and needed something extra special and full of tender loving care to use as a coverup FOUND Shu Uemera s Nobara foundation is so like butter that even a nasty zit fades into an oblivion of comfort and joy Yes Nobara is a foundation but I find that it is a bit too much for an all over the face application and more then just right for disappearing into the rough spots of a bad skin day This magical blend utterly melts into the skin Yves Saint Laurent RADIANT TOUCH Okay so I was annoyed when the YSL saleswoman at Bloomingdale s wouldn t leave me alone when it came to Radiant Touch I had gone to the counter with a targeted purchase in mind I was already sold on the beautiful rouge pur transparent 6 chocolate brown lipstick Wasn t that enough And it did seem kind of offensive to hear those eleven little words that I didn t want to hear after sleeping late on a Saturday Just a dab will make you look so much more rested It pains me to say that I left the counter that day in a rude huff I JUST WANT the LIPSTICK I had said and was gone Later though I found myself back again and this time a different saleswoman was lauding Radiant Touch and I caved enough to let her apply a dab to my undereye area The rest was history because WOW not only did I look rested I looked amazing A brief history I don t normally use concealer under my eyes or in that pesky dark spot in the inner corner of the eye and not because I don t need it to chase away the darkness but because I hate the heavy cakey quality of concealers applied to that area of the face ENTER RADIANT TOUCH It s not a concealer The texture is very sheer and it disappears into the skin just like an amazing pick me up No cakiness nothing heavy it is not a coverup but an enhancer It comes in one color which is even perfect for pale pale me It s magic Pam Tested Pam Approved Page Two SHOP Get what you need plus save

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER AUGUST 97 PAM TESTED PAM APPROVED A Look at Personal Picks from our Panelist Pam Although I m constantly looking for that next IT product I rarely find items that I consider staples It s not that I don t sometimes long for the minimalist life I would love to have a large group of favorite products that I could be loyal to for long periods of time but for me it s hard to find the right colors consistencies However over the years and in some cases over the last few weeks I have found a few beauty items that I m positive that I could not live without and here they are THOSE LIPS The Body Shop Colourings Lip Liner 1 Shade BEECH One of my few favorites that came from the 80 s but just barely I discovered it in 1989 This is by far my desert island pick Superior in color and texture this true soft brown lipliner has never let me down Looks good and rich with anything from Chapstick to a Chanel Lip Quad Chanel The Berries Lip Intensities And speaking of Chanel lip quads Discovering this lip quad turned my world upside down I never knew the perfect shade of lipstick for me until I stumbled upon THE BERRIES i e exactly the shade of a ripe cherry Granted with Chanel there was a price to be paid But I got my money s worth when it came to the love connection of my lip s lifetime AND it took me a year to go through my first compact At first I was slightly unhappy with the extracurricular challenge of applying lipstick that wasn t in a tube NOT quick and NOT easy But by getting involved in this process I discovered that for me lipstick applied with a brush has more staying power and makes for better over all presentation Just another fluke turned good Bobbi Brown Essentials PETAL Lip Gloss First of all I m NOT a girl who looks good in pink And second of all I m not a girl who looks good in gloss Or so I thought because when I stumbled across the BB Petal lip gloss all absolutes came crashing down This gloss totally rules One of my classic looks has become the combination of my Body Shop 1 lipliner with this BB Petal gloss but it also looks sensational on its own Petal is a warm pink almost bordering on Salmon in shade it gives my medium sized lips great depth and natural glow I have also been amazingly impressed with this glosses staying power Pretty in pink at last and glossy too NARS Lolita sheer lipstick NARS might possibly be my favorite line of cosmetics Mostly because the packaging and product names are so incredibly appealing but I must say that originality and quality run head to head The first time I saw this lipstick I was blown away Literally It looked so bright and aggressive in the tube that I was taken aback But how totally in love I was the minute I tried it on So dangerous but in the most innocent of ways hence Lolita this sheer orange with the slightest of red undertones is amazing It s the one sheer lip product that I can wear without lipliner it stands alone without needing a boost AND it brightens my whole face MAC 9 Lip Brush My God it s genius The best of the best And quite different from the standard lip brush in that the brush part is very firm and allows the application to be as soft or as deep as wanted THOSE EYES FACE Stockholm JOY Eye Shadow It was a rainy day and I had slipped into Barney s to escape Moments later I found myself at the FACE counter dying for just one perfect eyeshadow to make my eyes just a little bit greener just a little bit more something And then it happened the woman behind the FACE counter slid the pot of JOY eyeshadow over to me and said THIS would look great on you History was made Ode to JOY a brown plum gray heather taupe lavender miracle Not only did this eyeshadow look great on me it looked great on all of my friends as well green eyes brown eyes blue eyes black eyes hazel eyes all eyes It is the perfect shadow MAC Vanilla eyeshadow I m very light fair pale and it was hard to find a white eyeshadow that even looked like something other than just my plain old lids This shadow though powder based gives a somewhat creamy appearance It s timeless classy hip chic and versatile I love it alone for that mod haunted look or with JOY in the crease for a more traditional look Trish McEvoy Face Essential kit 7 Trish McEvoy makes some fine fine shadows The 7 kit is a warm toned person s fantasy kit My favorite shade in the kit is the blush section a pale slightly shimmery peach shade that looks fresh and wonderful all over the lid from lash line to brow In addition there is a pale beige brown which is a very unique and lovely color a dark chocolate brown for crease coloring and a green black shadow for lining the eyes This kit gives a very clean polished look and it can travel anywhere Trish McEvoy Eye Liner Brush 11 and Shadow Brush 10 The TM 11 eye liner brush is THE brush for lining eyes with a dark shadow or any eyeshadow for that matter good quality and excellent precision BUT as amazing as the 11 eyeliner brush is I would have to say that my favorite TM brush in fact my favorite brush on any level is the 10 Shadow brush It s a bigger thicker wider shadow brush which doubles as a blush brush a blending brush and a powder brush THAT FACE LORAC Oil free foundation S1 Not much that I love in the face category No luck in finding good colors or texture for my sensitive confused skin I have found the most satisfaction foundation wise with the LORAC oil free foundation though The color is just right for me Very warm and yellow based but light enough which really works for me unlike most traditionally pink beige based foundations This foundation blends well and does not irritate my face My only major complaint is that it s not totally ideal in the dead of winter when virtually all moisture has been zapped from my skin Trish McEvoy Protective Shield Light It s the most amazing concealer out there Highly blendable and works great as an eyeshadow base Oil of Olay Age Defying Series Daily Renewal Cleanser and Daily Renewal Cream I was the one left out in the cold the day everyone started raving about Alpha Hydroxy Just standing by an AHA product irritated my skin and left me red and broken out While everyone else was watching their wrinkles disappear I was just trying to get a drop of moisture to appear on my skin some way some how without running into skin confusion or irritation And then along came Oil of Olay s Beta Hydroxy products the next big thing and I must say I think I m in love I ve been using the Oil of Olay products for over a month with very little in the beginning to no irritation and good results I ve been a fan of Oil of Olay for years and though it might be too early to really say these products will be a long term favorites I think they re totally noteworthy Although I loaded up on all of the age defying products I thought the eye serum was too drying and the SPF lotion was irritating and drying as well The cream and cleanser are both bonanzas though THOSE CHEEKS NARS ZEN blush No favorite list of mine would be complete without the mentioning of a blush I am obsessive about blushes Totally love what a blush can do to brighten the face and erase fatigue Yet of course it s very hard for me to find the ultimate blush connection I ve come close though with NARS ZEN ZEN is a pale warm brown with peach undertones A great blush for warming up the skin or even contouring when I m in the mood Looks good on the eyes too SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Ouidad Hair Care report by Deanna of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel African Americans are subjected to a great deal of hype from the media about hair care products helping hair grow keeping hair long and well conditioned etc that I always take what I read in the beauty magazines with the proverbial grain of salt However over the last couple of years I have read about the Ouidad hair care line so I decided to have a look at the website I found a great deal of the information presented at the website was fairly consistent with my own views of hair care with a couple of exceptions For instance I don t think that hair can be fed All that I have read indicates that hair is dead however by protecting the outer layer of the hair we can encourage hair length Ouidad herself is a hair care professional with a studio in New York She also has very curly hair The Ouidad product line caters to the curly tops and frizzy haired among us As I ve said before my hair in its natural state is strictly AFRO American I keep my hair relaxed with Mizhani products When reviewing the catalogue I noticed that the line offered a lightweight water soluble hair pomade and I thought This is a lady who knows curly frizzy hair So I purchased the Ouidad Video and Complete Set for 95 00 I was glad I bought the video it goes into much more detail about the product use techniques than the slide show at the web site or the instructions on the bottles Although it s not an Oscar winner I did appreciate learning about using the products successfully and the suggestions on alternate gentle ways to treat my hair The complete set includes 4oz of the Ouidad Deep Treatment a protein rich deep conditioner for use once a month 8oz of Clear Shampoo 8oz of Balancing Rinse 8oz of Tress F X 8oz of Styling Mist 2oz of Shine hair glaze 8oz of Botanical Boost and 2 oz of Clear Control pomade I also purchased 8oz of Climate Control Gel separately For the most part the line is oil free Here s what I thought of the products Clear Shampoo I was very impressed with this shampoo Unlike many clearing shampoos it did not leave my chemically treated hair dry and frizzy It contains proteins soluble collagen wheat germ oil and jojoba oil along with a detergent ammonium lauryl sulfate among other things It has a light fragrance and is mildly acidic with a pH of 6 0 I find pH information very important when dealing with coarse frizzy hair so I ve included it for others who need to know this information The shampoo lathers well without the repeat step And a quarter s worth is about all you need depending on hair length so this product will definitely last a while even if you wash your hair every day Balancing Rinse This is a lightweight daily conditioner It does contain glycerin but is essentially oil free It does not weigh the hair down or make the hair feel oily unlike many of the leave in conditioners I ve tried It smells like sour apples and has a pH of 5 0 It tames the frizzes while acting as a slip agent and detangler This product is another one that impressed me Botanical Boost This spray is basically a wetting agent that helps detangle the hair while reactivating the styling products already in the hair Using this product helps stretch the other products particularly if you don t shampoo every day It is basically aloe vera gel with a great many plant extracts included It s supposed to shrink wrap the hair easing the hair into a smooth shape without wicking away moisture It works as another leave in conditioner while easing the combing and detangling process It also contains hydrolyzed rice and corn and wheat proteins as well as a few topical vitamins Although I don t know if any of these ingredients actually help the hair it does detangle and works well as a lightweight conditioner and has a pH of 4 0 again to help control the frizzes Tress F X This is an alcohol free styling product It has the consistency of a gel and a light fragrance This gel can be mixed with either the Shine Hair Glaze or the Clear Control Pomade depending on your hair type It coats the hair without making it heavy oily limp or drying out chemically treated hair making it more manageable and tame I love this product Finally a mild holding gel without alcohol It has a pH of 6 0 Clear Control Pomade This is a clear oil based product that miraculously does not leave the hair feeling greasy It contains a full spectrum sunscreen It is advertised as a curl definer and sealer and it definitely does both things without weighing the hair down Again I would highly recommend this product to anyone with dry coarse hair whether naturally curly or chemically treated Shine Hair Glaze Although it was not recommended for my hair type I did try this product Unlike many of the silicon based shine products this product did not feel greasy at all no matter how much I used It gave my hair a nice shine however it contains alcohol so I personally found the product a little drying on my chemically treated hair However I was still very impressed with the product overall Deep Treatment This is the cornerstone of the Ouidad hair care line It should be applied to the hair and left on for at least 20 minutes The hair should be covered with a plastic cap and low heat should be applied to the head Although Ouidad indicates that a blow dryer or hood dryer should be used I used a heating cap I fell in love with the way my hair felt and looked after the first treatment which I did a week before a new relaxer treatment My hair was very easy to clear out it shined and had plenty of body I also noticed much much less hair breakage on the day my hair was relaxed as well as afterwards It s loaded with different types of proteins plant and animal but is non drying and has a pH of 5 0 Even my hair stylist was impressed with this product It should be used once a month and a full 2 ounces should be used more depending on hair length so it s expensive Personally I think it s worth it Climate Control Gel 18 I purchased this product separately from the Complete Set This product should be used in place of the Tress F X gel especially when blow drying the hair straight It is supposed to protect the hair from blow dryer damage and stop the frizzes particularly in hot humid weather The real test of this product will be in the summer during Maryland s high humidity period However for the winter I found it to be a nice lightly scented styling gel It does contain silicone so it coats the hair making it feel slick but it seems to work well It also contains a number of vitamins plant extracts and oils It did not weigh my hair down however unlike the other products I could feel that it was there Styling Mist This is the only product that did not really impress me It contains SD Alcohol witch hazel jojoba oil and a sunscreen I did find it a little drying on my chemically treated hair I would recommend this product to those who prefer a little extra hold to their coiffures however personally I found the other products were so effective that the styling mist was unnecessary Overall I m very impressed with the Ouidad product line and have recommended it to several of my friends with all types of curly hair I would also highly recommend this product line to women who relax their hair As a side note not only was I impressed with the products but I was impressed with the customer service I received my order in three days Any questions I had about the line were answered within 24 hours via email Keeping in mind that we don t present ourselves as Cosmetic Connection Panelists and shop as regular consumers this is impressive Ouidad products are available at the Ouidad salon

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Osmotics report by Patty of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Kinetin Anti aging Lotion When I first tried this lotion I had low expectations I had just about given up on anti aging serums after trying Clinique Stop Signs and similar products As a 24 year old I am not too concerned about current wrinkles but I am into being proactive and preventing future ones I have tried everything from anti oxidant vitamin creams to AHA and Retinol to keep my skin from looking sun damaged After using Kinetin for almost a month I am happy to report that it is truly a revolutionary product Kinetin is a natural growth factor isolated from green leafy plants It s actually been shown to restore a plant s greenness when applied directly to an aging brown leaf In other words Kinetin is nature s way of slowing down the aging process in plants Osmotics has taken this miracle of nature and bottled it The results are spectacular minus the side effects and irritation one experiences while using AHA or Retinol products I use Kinetin every night before bed and my skin has never looked better I can wake up after only four hours of sleep and my skin glows like I ve been doing nothing but resting and eating veggies I love just about everything about this product from its light fast absorbing texture to its stylish pump container But most of all I love the way it makes my skin look and feel pampered Kinetin is supposed to be used in conjunction with a moisturizer but I have not found it to be necessary Kinetin does not contain sunscreen the only ingredient missing as far as I can tell so keep that in mind for daytime use I am currently testing out a few other Osmotics products and I will keep you updated For more info check out

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Osea Skincare report by Patty of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I first discovered OSEA skin care when a friend recommended I check out their Passion scent line She loves the unique smell I tried some of the passion perfume oil but really didn t care for the smell actually it was more like what is this awful smell I have since been told that Passion is a scent you either love or you hate there s no in between However I did see a few other products I thought might be worth a try Ocean Mudd 24 This is a facial cleanser made for oilier skin types As its name suggests many of the ingredients are natural ocean components and it has a dirty muddy texture The pump dispenser is a nice touch and the cleanser foams up nicely However I really can t say that I liked this cleanser much The cooling mint made my skin feel really clean but my mirror and toner told a different story This cleanser does a lousy job of removing makeup and debris I also noticed more frequent breakouts while using ocean mudd Ocean Cleanser 22 Now this is more like it After my disappointing bout with OSEA mudd I had low expectations of this cleanser labeled for normal and sensitive skin Turns out this is a great cleanser for my oily skin This cleanser has that same cute pump dispenser and light foam as the OSEA mudd but the similarities end there Ocean cleanser does an excellent job of removing makeup and leaving the skin looking and feeling clean I recommend this product to anyone with normal or oily skin but am not in agreement with the label s recommendation for sensitive skins Ocean cleanser has a slightly astringent quality and AHA that may irritate sensitive skin Sea Plasma Spray 8 for one ounce Maybe I m just a sucker for anything that can be sprayed onto skin but I love the moisturizing mist sea plasma The name gives the main ingredients away seaweed and Dead Sea salts I use this moisturizer whenever my skin feels too oily for my regular lotion moisturizer I also like to spritz it on over makeup midday as a refreshing treat As with the ocean cleanser I can t recommend this product to people with sensitive skin The citric acid among other ingredients might aggravate sensitive skin Overall I think OSEA is a product line worth checking out I plan to try a few more OSEA products in the near future and I ll let you know what I

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Orlane report by Judy of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel After months of anticipation the center city Philadelphia Lord Taylor finally opened its doors on August 6th Through the grapevine I had heard that L T now housed at the former John Wanamaker establishment is not a big cosmetic mecca the way that Nordstrom or Saks is Since you all know I take no one s word but my own I decided to show up on opening day The store was quite crowded as you might have guessed With its aisles and aisles of new fall merchandise and beautifully polished jewelry counters I finally made my way to the rear of the first floor where alas I could feast my eyes on what else Makeup The usual giants were apparent Estee Lauder and Lancome monopolized the center aisles with Clinique closely behind Tucked away on the sides are a few other lines which are new to this area the ever growing trendy line of Smashbox and on the other side I noticed a line I know very little about Orlane Since opening day was quite the zoo I expected I decided to wander back a few days later in an off hour in the afternoon So walking into that area on a Friday at 2 30 was much better than at high noon I spoke to a few makeup artist friends of mine at their respective counters when I saw the woman at the Orlane counter finally appear I went to see her to discuss having a makeover and she told me that the following Friday they would have their national makeup artist come to the store I thought that was an event worth waiting for The woman at the counter seemed hesitant though I couldn t understand why and merely wrote it off as having a bad day The following week I called her on Friday and she told me not to bother coming in because the national make up artist was not coming to the store that day She said she would come in the next day and to stop by in the afternoon Saturday was an extremely hot and humid day in Philly I would have been much better off splashing around in a pool testing waterproof mascara but I was so curious at this point about Orlane that I had to go back to Lord Taylor I did get a look at their display in the prior week and it seems they have something for everyone Orlane is primarily a skincare and quite extensive at that They don t offer much in terms of make up and color It seems they deal with a lot of anti aging crams and serums that seem pricey I noticed nothing regarding alpha hydroxy acids Therefore some direction from that national person would have been a big help I actually arrived a few minutes early and saw no one at the counter Fortunately my friend was working at the Chanel counter and I was able to see some of their new fall colors When the Orlane associate showed up she told me the national person never came in that day and she wanted to reschedule She said she felt badly but wanted me to get the scoop directly from the New York representative who could give me a better run down of the skincare I asked the sales associate if she could give me a basic facial and makeover and she said she was new with the line and not very knowledgeable a fact that I was grateful to know but nevertheless disappointed to hear I looked at the display of lipsticks they had and decided to buy a neutral orange brown one I d call it spice if it had a name but it was just a number I had come all this way and felt I wanted to try something After purchasing the 20 00 lipstick and because she felt badly about the delay the associate gave me an Orlane tote bag great I thought another tote bag She took my home phone number and promised she would call the next day to reschedule my facial appointment Once I returned home I tried the new lipstick using a neutral lip liner that I already own The Orlane person couldn t sell me a lipliner because they had none in stock The lipstick was a nice color but felt somewhat greasy It also had less than an appealing smell to it therefore I am quite reluctant to pour more money into this line that has yet to prove itself to me I never heard from the counter person and I sense that there are more problems to this scenario such as the on going strike of the United Parcel Service My Chanel friend told me a lot of orders were backed up because of the national dilemma which at this time has been resolved And what about the Orlane make up artist from New York Well I do believe that they could have been better about their excuses as to her no shows If Orlane ever gets its act together at Lord Taylor I will finally give it one more chance but a regular customer it will never have in me SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT This week s

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Origins report by Sandi of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Could I be the only human being who didn t know Oprah loves the new Origins Ginger Souffl It is on her list of favorite things During her November 23rd show she told the world who promptly went to stores and bought it It was out of stock at Nordstrom for quite some time and in fact the entire country was out The day I was there I was in luck they just received a new shipment Oprah said It smells so great you ll want to lick yourself Now I don t want to disagree with Oprah I really admire her I tried really hard to like the stuff but I felt as though I smelled like a fruit salad or some such thing I couldn t actually pinpoint the aroma but it was a rather familiar and pleasant culinary smell Nice stuff but I can think of about 100 cosmetic items I d rather spend the 25 on Also the aroma wears off quickly which is good or bad depending If I received it as a gift I d exchange it or give it away A few months ago I was visiting my best friend in Corte Madera and we decided to hit the cosmetic counters at Nordstrom a major hobby we share While we were there one of the sales people told us that Origins was offering a FREE neck and shoulder massage followed by a gift They actually hired a guy who was equipped with one of those weird looking massage chairs with a head rest in front After my superb massage I asked the masseur what lotion he used and went to directly to the Origins counter and bought the Orange Lazabout Body Souffl It was definitely an impulse purchase By the way the gift was a full size Origins lash conditioner Origins suggests Orange Lazabout should be used when stress consumes you and sleep eludes you It promises to relax destress and make you feel la di da I can t say that it relaxes me because it doesn t I like it but none of the above happened for me I d say my cosmetic passion is cream and lotion This one is good and I wouldn t be embarrassed to give it as a gift or receive it but I don t think I d purchase it again for myself It is a nice creamy cream I particularly like the generous amount 7 oz and how it is packaged Every last drop of product can be easily reached in the large round jar with a very wide opening about 2 1 2 inches across Finally I feel really old but I think this is much more of a young person s line I always have and that is another reason I never paid attention to it Also I was not attracted by the looks of the packaging colors etc and didn t like the cutesy names like Never A Dull Moment skin polisher Handle With Care for hands and Silent Treatment for sunscreen However Origins is high quality does offer a complete line of skin care as well as make up Some of the body line includes Lazabout Orange Flower Body Souffl 25 Lazabout Orange Flower Bath Bar 12 50 Lazabout Orange Flower Body Balm 20 Lazabout Orange Flower Bath Float 22 50 Lazabout Orange Flower Body Wash 20 Lazabout Orange Flower Body Duster 20 I requested a brochure describing the Ginger products The sales person at Macy s told me they didn t have one and was quick to remind me how expensive it is to print brochures I immediately flashed on poor Estee Lauder and the time a few years ago I saw her in Palm Beach She was a passenger in a chauffeur driven RR Bentley that was just about to turn into the driveway of her modest mansion I tease I should be so lucky The Ginger promises to shelter you in a creamy cocoon and spread a relaxing warmth all over your body while skin nourishing olive grape seed

their boutique atmosphere It was tough choosing a few products to report on due to all the choices and with names like True Grit Clean Comfort and Fret Not I was even more tempted to find out if these products did deliver what their names insinuated True Grit 15 for 5 ounces This is a body exfoliant worth every penny I found it to be not only soothing but extremely emollient My skin felt clean and very smooth With shorts season right around the corner this is a must Clean Comfort 15 for 6 7 ounces This body wash smells delicious probably because of all the essential oils put into it Again a very emollient product and it sudses beautifully A wonderful compliment to True Grit I only wish these products came in JUMBO sizes Precipitation 20 for 8 ounces First of all I must say that my dry skin is not limited to my face Any body lotion I find that keeps my skin soft and supple will grace my bathroom counter forever This unfortunately will not be seen again Although I loved the fragrance it did not perform the way I had expected I was told to smooth on after a shower while my skin was still damp but even then I did not find the emollience I was looking for Also I wish manufacturers would make much larger sizes for body lotion This 8 ounce bottle does not go far My kids loved it but it s obviously too pricey even for their tender skin review 02 00 SHOP Get what you need plus save

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Origins report by Aina of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel On one of my many outings looking for makeup to buy with money I don t have I happened along the Origins counter and thought why not I had my best friend with me and figured that we could test foundations since we have different skin tones That would be the best way to see if they offered colors to more than just one type of woman of color The Origins counter was great I went to two of them One at Macy s and another at a department store called Century 21 The sales people were nice and helpful but not overly so They have these great roundtables with their whole makeup line to play with They had everything one would need to apply and take off makeup Brushes sponges tissues Q tips a garbage can which you can never find when you need one at the makeup counter There was even a makeup remover to wipe the colors from your hand or face The sales people were helpful but not overbearing They would ask you if you needed help and then leave you alone I tried their Original Skin more coverage foundation 15 00 in Amber Skin for me and Bronze Skin for my friend The verdict we have a winner They matched our skins beautifully I also tried the Pressed Makeup with you control it coverage in cappuccino which was actually too pink but Praline was a much better match All the makeup was oil free and felt good on the skin There were shades available to suit just about everyone So far so good I also took a look at their lipsticks 11 00 and lip pencils I unfortunately was disappointed Their shades just didn t do it for me Their neutral colors were too light for me and my friend and the darker ones were brighter than ones I would wear My best friend agreed So what s the bottom line The packaging was original the prices very reasonable and the color selection good for foundations but could be better for lips I would invest in their products I want to try their skin care as soon as I run out of the products I have at home I tried tested their Salt Rub on my hand and it felt a bit rough for me but smelled great I am definitely going to come back and look at their skin care more closely As long as they keep making the stuff I ll be around to check it out SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Origins report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I remember the first time I tried Origins products The woman at the counter explained that the products would retrain my skin to act normal not oily or sensitive or confused I can t say I believed all that but the products smelled nice and I was looking for something new I bought the Skin Care Pair for my skin type and gave it a shot I can t say it did anything for my face but I gave Origins another try with their color cosmetics Here s where I got hooked My favorite eye liner for about three years straight was Granite I never really used any of the skin care again except for a free sample here and there of something new The charcoal mask lip remedy treatment and intensive hand cream are really nice but for some reason I ve never purchased any of them Recently I was strolling through my neighborhood Nordstrom and I noticed a basket of samples on the Origins counter ripe for the asking The woman at the counter was more than willing to part with some so I got a set for me and one for my husband in case he wants to try them right No Deposit clarifying shampoo 10 00 for 8 5oz This is the first deposit removing once a week type shampoo that I have ever liked Most are too drying and stripping leaving my fine hair in a ratty knotted mess Not this one My hair felt super clean but not mangled and tangle free enough to even get a comb through it Clear Head mint shampoo 10 00 for 8 5oz This shampoo has that great Origins signature mint fragrance and it feels a bit tingly on your scalp My skin is pretty sensitive and the tingling did not bother me Another winner it left my hair clean soft and tangle free Knot Free finishing rinse 10 00 for 8 5oz A light detangling conditioner probably for people who have fine hair or who don t need much heavy conditioning It left my hair nicely conditioned and again tangle free Happy Endings conditioner 12 50 for a tube of unknown size 4 or 5oz The more heavy duty of the two this conditioner was nice and rich but did not leave my fine hair flat or greasy at all Yay Liquid Crystal cleanser 14 for a 6 7 ounce bottle This cleanser has a very light texture that doesn t foam but turns into a milky liquid when you add water It removed all my makeup and felt cool and refreshing The peppermint oil in it could be irritating to some sensitive skins but I had no problem with it Comforting Solution 17 for a 5 ounce bottle This pseudo toner is basically an essential oils and aloe vera cocktail that you apply directly to your face without a cotton ball instead you pour a tiny amount in your palm and apply like you would a moisturizer I actually like this technique much better than wiping it on with cotton since you use less product it saves cotton balls and it just feels more refreshing Beware if your skin is hyper sensitive since this product does contain a whole slew of strongly scented herbs Reporter s Note After using this product for about a month it started to make my cheeks tingle I decided to return it and use a regular toner Constant Comforter 22 for a 1 7 ounce jar With so many moisturizers available these days the subtle differences among them start to get a bit confusing When I test a cream like this I pay attention to its texture how much I need to use to cover my whole face how it feels going on and how my skin looks and feels after a few hours Constant Comforter has an emollient feel without being greasy and it does a great job of making my skin feel soft and smooth all day The Last Straw conditioning shampoo 12 50 I have been searching for what feels like forever for a shampoo that doesn t dry out my hair Some have come close and are fine for everyday but when my hair is feeling really dry and frazzled nothing has worked to rescue it until now During my usual weekly visits to my local Nordstrom they know me by name now I discovered this new conditioning shampoo from Origins that actually works The Last Straw is a thick cream that Origins packaged it in a jar rather than a bottle The orange and apricot fragrance from essential oils is heavenly but even better is how soft and smooth it made my hair If your hair is dyed dried or fried as Origins so cleverly puts it this shampoo is for you SHOP Get what you need plus save time and

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Oil of Olay Cosmetics report by Connie of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Complete Radiance Foundation SPF 15 Oil Free in Fair Beige Way to go Oil of Olay I am sold This is one of the best foundations that I have tried The product comes in a stiff squeeze tube with a pointy applicator for spot application on the face The product is thick but not too thick but it is not runny at all It feels so smooth on my face It blends wonderfully lasts forever and I felt like I had hardly any makeup on By mid morning it had not made my face look oily like most foundations I did not have to constantly apply powder either The color matched perfectly not too orange or too dark I was my skin s color with a warm tone to it I can t rave enough about this product and it has SPF 15 It is a keeper Complete Radiance Compact Foundation SPF 15 Oil Free in Fair Beige This foundation comes in a pressed powder form in a compact with a sponge The sponge sits in a separate compartment which is nice The sponge is actually not a bad sponge and I used it to apply the product However the powder went on better with a brush This is a good foundation but was a bit too dark for my skin I was skeptical about the coverage that I would get with a powder foundation but this covered extremely well It was really thick feeling on my face though and I was not fond of that If you have blemish prone skin this might be a good coverage foundation for you It did not make my skin oily at all throughout the day I liked the fact that it had SPF 15 in a powder form

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Oil of Olay Cosmetics report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Shine Control Foundation Oil of Olay s line has two foundations this one labelled for combination and oily skin and another one labelled for dry skin I couldn t decide which would be better for me since the ingredients on the tube are very similar so I took a chance with this one I wore this foundation every day for a week and I never really liked it The consistency is thin the coverage fairly sheer but the worst part in my opinion is the way my skin looked after just a few hours shiny Considering that my skin isn t even oily the fact that this so called shine control actually created shine is not a big plus in my book I would not buy this again One observation about Oil of Olay s foundation all the fashion magazines have been promoting the All Day Moisture version and it s that formula not the Shine Control formula that Oil of Olay is sending samples of in the mail Maybe they know that the Shine Control version is inferior Just a thought Concealer What Oil of Olay s foundations lack is definitely made up for with their concealer This is a great creamy stick that works just as well for undereye circles as it does for blemishes I like to apply it with my finger or a brush rather than straight from the stick for the best coverage and control I would buy this again Blush in Soft Rosewood Much like the new makeup from Neutrogena read my review in the March 28th Cosmetic Report Oil of Olay also decided to use some fairly dated packaging much to my dismay This small squarish bit of blush comes with a blush brush that is so small you could use it for eye shadow Do yourself a favor and get a real blush brush As for the blush itself the selection of colors leaves a bit to be desired quite a few bright unnatural shades that I doubt would complement very many skintones I think I picked the best of the bunch for my skin soft rosewood but even it is bright enough that I have to take care in applying just a little and blending it really well I would not buy this again Eye Shadow Duo in Autumn Spring Much like the blush selection the colors Oil of Olay offers for eye shadow need a little improvement The duo I chose is one of the few wearable color sets the autumn color is a medium plum brown while the spring shade is medium pink pearl with a hint of gold shimmer Too many of the other sets have bright blues and pinks that aren t as universally flattering as they could be The texture is nice though and stayed crease free for most of the day a definite plus If you can find shades that work for you these shadows are worth trying Beauty Mascara Along with the concealer this mascara is a real find The look is natural but full and well defined I had no problems with globs smearing or flaking and it washes off easily with regular facial cleanser Lipstick in Fresh Plum Okay so I liked half of the Oil of Olay products I tried This lipstick has a smooth creamy feel and comes in a good range of colors This shade is a medium pink plum that reminds me of the color you get on your lips when you eat fresh blackberries The colors available in the lipsticks are much better than the blush or eyeshadow A few of the other colors include spicy red brazil autumn leaves and cobblestone Oil of Olay cosmetics are now available at drug and mass retail stores around the US like Target Walmart Drug Emporium Long s etc The snazzy lighted display has a mirror testers yay and color suggestions for different skintones review 4 99 All Day Moisture Stick Foundation 11 25 When a friend told me recently that she tried this new foundation from Oil of Olay and loved it comparing it to Vincent Longo Water Canvas no less I knew I had to try it I had high hopes for a lightweight makeup that would look more like real skin than makeup but this can t replace Water Canvas for me For starters Moisture Stick is very very sheer to the point where it made me wonder why I was putting anything on at all The only upside is that it does dry down to a nice finish that kept my skin hydrated and natural looking all day something I can t say about any other stick foundation I ve used on my winter dry skin I just wish the coverage was better I could have lived with sheer coverage and just used a concealer but I won t live with the pimples I got from Moisture Stick after wearing it for just three days My most prone area my chin already red from past blemishes was Breakout Central where I layered on Moisture Stick trying to get extra coverage A quick glance at the ingredient list revealed carrageenan seaweed which can cause acne for some people Apparently I am one of those people This is not a concern for everyone so if you are acne prone and this foundation sounds appealing to you make sure you purchase it from a store that takes returns just in case The best quality of Moisture Stick is the cool feeling on the skin when you put it on It is so cool and wet it s almost spongy It dries quickly so I recommend drawing a few swipes on one area of your face like a cheek blending it completely then repeating that all over your face If you apply it all over your face and then try to blend you may be stuck with makeup that won t budge Moisture Stick is designed for normal to dry skin and comes in ten wearable colors from the lightest Fair Honey the color I got to the deepest Dark Honey You should be able to find it in stores now review 1 00 Complete Radiance Compact Foundation 13 95 in Fair Honey This new makeup from Oil of Olay will be coming in March to a drugstore near you I was fortunate enough to get a sample ahead of time Oil of Olay is doing a great job of expanding their cosmetic line and for the non acne prone this is a nice new choice in powder based foundations Complete Radiance powder has a soft silky feel with medium coverage that is lightly oil absorbing It also has broad spectrum SPF 15 sun protection and comes in 10 natural looking shades I like that it doesn t emphasize dry areas of the face and it doesn t get oily or shiny looking by the middle of the day What did not thrill me was the pimples it gave me thanks to tocopherol and dioctyl succinate two acne causing ingredients This is yet another lesson that you can t always believe the product package this one says non comedogenic and non acnegenic If this is not a concern for you then you might like the look feel and fairly reasonable price review 1 00 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Oil of Olay They ve Come A Long Way report by Judy of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Several years ago when retail was flourishing in Philadelphia my favorite specialty store was the now defunct Bonwit Teller At that time I couldn t afford most anything above the first floor but that was okay with me The first floor had what I wanted all of my favorite makeup lines and counters and counters of the best costume jewelry One Saturday my friend Kathy and I playing the role of good urbanites would spend an afternoon in the city s downtown section We would workout have lunch and yes do a little shopping We decided to have makeovers at the Prescriptives counter While Prescriptives was a new line to me I welcomed the change from an already avid user of Estee Lauder Not knowing much about what my friend used for skincare I found out amazingly when the makeup artist was cleansing her skin and asked Kathy what skincare regimen are you using now Kathy s response Oil of Olay The makeup artist and I looked at each other and said huh Fast forward to 1997 I can honestly say that I probably would have turned down a free sample of Oil of Olay back then There was nothing special about the ingredients and I thought of it as something my mother would use Today with the pared down sense of style quite the current trend the less fuss in makeup the better We want easy state of the art skincare My feeling that you have to spend a lot to have good skin is by the wayside Therefore I bring to you good news Oil of Olay has a new line of products the Age Defying series It s affordable but more importantly there is excellent quality here After using the products for about 8 days I have found that my makeup goes on a lot smoother and my skin has a nice radiance to it If I had to pick a favorite product from the line it would have to be the Protective Renewal Lotion with SPF 15 I call it a moisture drink for my face It s not greasy or heavy and my skin absorbs it immediately leaving my skin feeling toned and fresh But first things first The Daily Renewal Cleanser with Gentle Microbeads is indeed gentle You can feel the tiny bead like action working on your face and I like to pay special attention to around the nose on the cheekbones and on the chin With a product like this however it is best to avoid the under the eye area Because this cleanser leaves your skin feeling very clean there is no need for a toner and I am a toner oriented person But I feel quite comfortable for the next step moisturizing and protecting with the Renewal Lotion described above Next I used the Revitalizing Eye Gel which should be called the Refreshing Eye Gel because it is exactly that a light emollient clear gel that contains vitamin B5 actually made me feel as if there was some firming action going on around my eyes A mini face lift if you will The Daily Renewal Cream is very much the same as the protective lotion but a bit creamier So I use this one at night Considering alpha beta hydroxy is the wonder ingredient in most creams today I can assure you that after trying several in all different price ranges I would give a thumbs up to Oil of Olay Maybe I have come a long way after all SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS The Quest for Oil Control report by Aina of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel My skin had always been pretty normal until recently when it became normal to oily and very oily on my nose You can see the shine on my nose from miles away Finally I got fed up I went out searching for products that will control the oil slick on my face Here s what I found Almay Oil Blotting Tissues about 5 I really liked these tissues so much so that I became a slave to them Eventually they started making my nose look glassy There was no oil but a shiny finish to my nose I had to take a break from using them then go back The active ingredient is salicylic acid products with salicylic acid usually don t agree with me This does work but in cycles I know it sounds strange but it s true Origins Zero Oil 10 Yet another desperate attempt to get rid of my oil I was hoping this mattifying liquid with silicates would have a long lasting effect but it didn t quite work out that way The counter person told me to press and pat this on my face do not rub The back of the 64 oz Bottle states the smooth invisible finish stays matte all day No streaks on cheeks And forehead chin and nose show positively no glow Unfortunately I found this entire statement to be untrue Weather I applied it with my finger or a tissue it streaked all over my forehead if you use too much the liquid turns into white cakey beads all over and your face stays matte all day if your day is 20 minutes long It did work a little better when I used a tissue but not by much Clinique Sheer Mattness T Zone Shine Control free sample I was hoping this one would be better This one comes in a tube and the consistency is more creamy and thicker than Origins I ve tried this stuff right after washing my face in the middle of the day over and under makeup with the same result It doesn t cake up like the origins but it lasts maybe an hour or two One of these days I will find something to control my oil I ll never rest until my oily face is under control for good Companies come out with new products all the time and I ll keep searching until I find the perfect one SHOP Get what you

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Nivea report by Danielle of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel My venture began with a product from the Nivea Visage line I always wanted to try the Q10 Wrinkle Cream but instead opted to try the Deep Foaming Cleanser Why you ask I think it was because I was out of facial wash at the time anyhow and it just seemed like the logical thing to do BAD MOVE First of all this Deep Foaming Cleanser smells like perfume your Aunt Esther would wear to square dance night down at the local Senior Citizen Center I mean this stuff smells baaaaaaad Secondly the prouduct is very thick and almost sticky like and it seems I had to use more then necessary just to get it to foam up at all Heeey They did say this was a foaming cleanser didn t they Thirdly after using this product and rinsing a million times I might add my face still felt like it was coated with something It was almost as if I just couldn t get the film off I then had to use a toner that I had lying around just to get that icky feeling off my face Upon doing that I looked at the cotton square I had used and to my dismay saw makeup on the pad So I used more toner and more toner finally about 10 minutes and four cotton squares later I was able to finally remove all of my makeup To top things off after about 4 days of use I developed a crop of pimples along my forehead and chin no wonder this product contains Sodium Laureth Sulfate and Lanolin Alcohol two acne causing ingredients Can you say please pass the oxy 10 I definitely would not recommend this product especially if you like to have a clean non filmy feeling face but if you often find yourself down at the Senior Citizen Center kicking your heels up then by golly get yourself some Oops was that out loud SHOP Get what

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Nivea Visage Cleansing Wipes report by Adele of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel My attention was drawn to Nivea Visage Cleansing Wipes 2 99 about 4 72 for 25 wipes a few times when I was in my local pharmacy and as the selling price is reasonable I finally decided to give them a try They claim to cleanse and tone your skin in 3 effects The first effect after you apply the wipe to your skin is the dissolving of any make up including eye make up The second effect actually cleanses and lifts the dirt and the third effect is toning the skin The wipes had the familiar Nivea scent which is pleasant and reminds me of holidays on the beach My foundation and eye make up was removed effectively although I have to say my skin normal with shiny T Zone at present looked and felt very oily immediately after using the wipe and I did have the urge to wash my face For a direct comparison and to satisfy my curiosity I bought L Oreal Plenitude Cleansing Wipes 4 99 about 7 88 for 24 wipes They also claim to cleanse and tone the skin They have a slightly medicated smell and did not feel as oily on my skin although I did have to try harder with this product to remove my eye make up I tried the Nivea Visage wipes again this time in the morning As a rule I always use a separate cleanser and toner but as this product also claims to tone the skin I decided not to use anything else I waited for 15 minutes and then applied my make up My foundation glided on without any problem and to my surprise my skin looked and felt better than I thought it would For longer term skin care I would say that most of us would benefit from a product specifically suited to our skin condition I think that other than removing make up there would be little benefit for using Nivea Visage Cleansing Wipes or L Oreal Plenitude Wipes on a regular basis However they would be handy to take on an overnight trip especially if you are trying to travel

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Neutrogena report by Aina of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I have always regarded Neutrogena as one of the best drugstore skincare brands available They address the needs of so many types of people and they seem have a product for all types of complexions While I have had both good and bad experiences with Neutrogena I was curious about their Pore Refining Line I picked up the three Pore Refining products at my local drugstore the Pore Refining Cleanser Toner and Pore Refining Cream Here s what I thought of them Pore Refining Cleanser 5 99 8 99 This is an off white colored cleanser that has a mild odor that borders between pleasant and unpleasant It contains microbeads and alpha and beta hydroxy acids glycolic acid and salicylic acid It foams very lightly and feels good on the skin just don t get this stuff near your eyes Mine stung like crazy when I accidentally opened them in the shower after I thought I had rinsed all the cleanser away There don t appear to be any comodegenic ingredients in it although I haven t had great experiences with products that contain salicylic acid it s the same stuff that s the main ingredient in corn removers In the past my skin has become more acne prone and oily when I ve used salicylic acid products Overall I liked this cleanser It easily removes dirt makeup and mascara even though you really shouldn t get this stuff near your eyes Sometimes my skin feels very dry after using this cleanser but for the most part my skin just felt clean and fresh Pore Refining Toner 5 99 8 99 The cleanser didn t make me feel like I needed a toner and I wasn t particularly thrilled when I read the second ingredient on the list alcohol but since it was part of the whole system I decided to give it a shot It says on the label it won t dry out the skin but how can that be with alcohol as the second ingredient and glycolic acid as the third ingredient This toner also contains salicylic acid witch hazel and a few plant extracts like peppermint and eucalyptus It smells mostly of alcohol but it also has a light fresh scent Surprisingly my skin didn t react to this toner It was a little strong for my combination skin at first my skin felt very tight but after my skin adjusted to it the toner just felt nice and refreshing Pore Refining Cream 13 99 This cream has alpha hydroxy acid and retinol Like the other products it is non comedogenic It has a light non greasy consistency and has the same scent as the other products only milder A bit more than a pea sized amount will cover the whole face and part of the neck too I liked to use a little more because my cheeks kept feeling dry after using this My skin absorbed the cream very well and it was fine for wearing under makeup The box of the cream states noticeable improvement in reduction of pore size reduced appearance of fine lines prevention of minor skin problems and improved smoothness in two weeks After two plus weeks of using these products I can t say I ve noticed a big difference in my skin My skin does feel soft and smooth but I don t think my pores have gotten smaller I can still see the ones on my cheeks and nose which is where I was looking for the change Also while using these products I got a few blemishes They might have been caused by the salicylic acid in the products or they might have been hormonal I m not sure I ll probably keep using these products just to see if the claims live up to reality Look for an update in the coming weeks review 11 99 Update After using the Pore Refining products for another week or two my skin went from not great to really bad I had more breakouts and saw no positive effects of the cleanser moisturizer or toner The alcohol in the toner really started to irritate my skin after a while The cream did nothing for me and as the weather got cooler it just didn t moisturize my poor dry cheeks enough My pores weren t any smaller either I really like some of Neutrogena s other products though and these Pore Refining products might work for someone else just not me review 1 00 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Neutrogena Cosmetics report by Deanna of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel To be quite honest my Neutrogena experience started out at the request of a Cosmetic Connection reader who was nice enough to send me e mail and ask me about the line We do read our e mails from you the readers and answer your questions as best as we can I had no experience with this line and was somewhat jaded by drugstore lines being to pink for my skin tone however I added this line to my fall shopping list of must trys I actually found the products at my local Giant Foods store in the cosmetic aisle Believe me I was a little anxious about buying cosmetics from the supermarket Being acne prone I am a serious hygiene freak who washes her makeup brushes everyday and there are no testers so I just picked the products from the middle and hoped that they hadn t been opened or used before I bought them I must say many of the drugstore lines are starting to upscale their packaging and Neutrogena is no exception The packaging is a pretty burnished gold tone It s not something that you d need to hide at all The compacts are very nice albeit plastic and the bottles could reasonably be left on the vanity if you chose I purchased three of the foundations the Skin Clearing Oil Free Makeup Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup and Healthy Skin Cream Powder Foundation Each of the products was priced at 11 75 Skin Clearing Oil Free Makeup in Spiced Almond The advertisements for this product say that it can improve skin clarity and that it has microscopic oil absorbing powder to prevent oily breakthrough Well the oil absorbing powder is plain old talc so no mystic solutions here This is a silicon based cyclomethicone dimethicone foundation with some Aloe Vera gel added to it It provides sheer to medium sheer coverage and is fragrance free On the positive side it goes on very smooth covers nicely and last through most of the day without any touchups It contains Vitamins A C and E as well as salicylic acid as the active acne fighting ingredient On the negative side I ve always found salicylic acid to be too drying one of my biggest reasons for disliking the Clinique skin care line and this product is no exception Also like many drugstore brands this color although a close match to my skin tone is too pink and a little ashen on me The ashy quality to this foundation is correctable using some of my little makeup up tricks however the pinkness is not Unfortunately the other colors are either too light or too dark so there is no color match for my skin If you can find a good color match with this line and can use salicylic acid products this one may bear a second look Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup in Toasted Honey This foundation does not contain the acne fighting ingredients that the Skin Clearing product does It does have an SPF 20 sunscreen due to it 2 4 titanium dioxide content This product is supposed to improve skin tone clarity and firmness however after four weeks of use I didn t see any improvements I was hoping for some though On the positive side this foundation is water based provides sheer to medium sheer coverage is fragrance free and has vitamins A C E and B5 It lasts fairly well requiring only one or two touchups through out the day This product comes in a broader range of colors too about 20 for varying shades of skin If you are a warm toned and dark woman of color there may be something for you here On the negative side this much titanium dioxide and talc does leave a gray cast to the skin Also the ingredients label is microscopic so although the product does not appear to contain any comedogenic ingredients it s really hard to tell Healthy Skin Cream Powder Foundation in Spiced Almond This product also contains an SPF 20 sunscreen however the active ingredients are 7 Octyl Methoxycinnate and 3 Octyl Salicylate It is available in the same colors and unfortunately the same pinkness as the Skin Clearing Foundation On the positive side this product does provide lasting medium to heavy coverage It contains Vitamins A and E The texture is nice and fairly light On the negative side this product does contain octyl palmitate a comedogenic ingredient as well as beeswax and microcrystalline wax This product is also labeled as not for use around the eyes Personally I prefer to use foundation around my eyes and add an eye shadow base as necessary so for me this is a definite negative Unfortunately this product does add a very gray cast to the skin probably from the silica mica titanium dioxide and aluminum starch combination It was hard to correct the problem with this product too I don t think I d buy it again not only from the perspective of a woman of color but also from the perspective as a person who is acne prone Overall I m neutral on this line I appreciate that Neutrogena is trying to provide a fair product at a fair price and include women of color in the group Some of the products are a little too pink for me however if you can find a good color match this line be worth looking at I hope this review helps out those readers that inquired about my opinion of these products As I said we do listen and respond to those of you who are kind enough to drop us a line from cyberspace Neutrogena Cosmetics are available at many drugstores supermarkets and beauty supply stores around the

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Neutrogena Cosmetics report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel If you haven t been to your local drugstore lately you may be missing out on their newest arrival Neutrogena Cosmetics With the tagline Beautiful Beneficial Neutrogena is out to sell you skin care benefits in makeup but don t believe it While it s great that the products are fragrance free and hopefully won t make you break out the small amount of skin care ingredients like pro retinol and vitamin E certainly can t replace your regular skin care products This is just a nice cosmetic line that I think is worth a look Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup 9 99 I chose classic porcelain from the array of 16 shades see descriptions below This foundation is oil free as in no mineral oil has SPF 20 sun protection unfortunately not broad spectrum though and trace amounts of pro retinol a vitamin A derivative vitamin E and melibiose a sugar derivative I really like this foundation The medium coverage has a subtle matte finish that enhances your skin rather than making it look made up What I really like is the way you can build the coverage on areas that need more attention like blemishes or red spots and the foundation doesn t get cakey or look too dark Healthy Skin Cream Powder Makeup 9 99 Like the liquid foundation this one comes in the same 16 shades I chose classic porcelain again is also oil free has SPF 20 sun protection unfortunately also not broad spectrum and trace amounts of pro retinol vitamin E and melibiose The texture is like most cream to powder formulas creamy but slightly dry with sheer to medium coverage that can be built up a little by layering I m impressed with how well this makeup wears throughout the day by evening my skin still looked fresh not shiny and the makeup didn t settle into fine lines or look cakey This is a nice product if you have normal normal to oily or combination skin Here are the foundation shades as described in Neutrogena s informational pamphlet For Fair skin Fresh Vanilla for skin with golden undertones gives a warm natural glow to the very fairest skin Classic Porcelain for skin with neutral undertones a soft classic look for very fair china white complexions Blushing Ivory for skin with rosy undertones rose tinted shade for very fair skin that blushes easily For Light skin Softest Gold for skin with golden undertones gives soft warm radiance to light skin Natural Buff for skin with neutral undertones neutral beige for peaches cream complexion Rose Cream for skin with rosy undertones flattering shade for light skin with naturally rosy cheeks For Medium skin Golden Bisque for skin with golden undertones warm beige gives a golden glow to medium complexions True Beige for skin with neutral undertones soft neutral tone for medium complexions Copper Sand for skin with rosy undertones flatters medium complexions which blush easily Toasted Honey for skin with golden or olive undertones this dusky shade compliments olive complexions For Tawny skin Warm Caramel for skin with golden olive or black undertones enhances deeper or bronzed olive complexions Spiced Almond for skin with golden olive red or black undertones a warm cafe au lait suited to medium deep complexions Real Pecan for skin with golden red or black undertones a rich golden taffy color For Deep skin Rich Sable for skin with golden red or black undertones a deep russet brown Bronzed Cocoa for skin with golden red black or blue undertones for a real milk chocolate shade Soft Mahogany for skin with golden red black or blue undertones deepest warm complexions Fresh Finish Loose Powder 9 99 If you are looking for a good quality loose powder in natural shades this is it I ve been spending way too much for department store powder but not anymore I really like this one It has a light feel and just the right balance of oil control and soft finish Fresh Finish Pressed Powder 9 99 As pressed powders go this one is fine It s basically the same as the loose only in pressed form Soft Color Blush 8 49 While I like the selection of natural looking colors I chose a medium plum pink sweet raisin I was surprised that a cosmetic line this new has such dated packaging for their blush The tiny blush brush is really a joke unless you like racing stripes on your cheeks and the rectangular strip of blush is a bit narrow to get to with a proper blush brush If you can get past that I did this is a nice blush with some pretty colors and a soft natural looking texture Full Length Defining Mascara 5 99 I really like this mascara It reminds me a bit of Bobbi Brown s defining mascara with its thin short bristled brush and subtle lash defining formula In my weeks of testing it didn t clump smear or glob once This mascara comes in three colors black soft black and brown black Lip Plush Lip Color 7 99 Again another nice selection of natural looking shades to complement a variety of skin tones and tastes I chose rose suede a basic neutral brown pink The lipstick texture is very creamy and smooth which feels great on but also has a tendency to wander into any fine lines around the lips Be sure to use a lip liner to keep the color in place Neutrogena also has Under Cover concealer stick in 4 skintone shades and 2 color correcting shades yellow and green which I plan on trying soon Although these are drugstore products and individually are not what I would consider expensive when you buy all of them at once like I did it gets a little spendy my total bill was 62 43 These new cosmetics from Neutrogena are definitely worth checking out though SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Nectar Cosmetics report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel From the Emerald Isle of Ireland I recently discovered a great selection of botanical skin care and makeup from a company called Nectar Cosmetics The catalog has a wide variety of products these are just a few that I tried Aloe Vera Plus Rinse Away Cleansing Mousse 9 95 for 3 4 ounces The Aloe Vera line is designed for normal combination skin and contains at least 10 aloe and a sea mineral complex of bladderwrack clay freshwater mud irish sea moss and algae extracts to help balance your skin This mousse cleanser is one of only a few I ve ever used that I really liked It feels silky removes makeup and the daily grime very well rinses off easily and completely and leaves your skin feeling clean not dry Aloe Vera Plus Instant Skin Freshener 9 95 for 8 4 ounces A very refreshing alcohol free toner with the same aloe and sea mineral complex I found it calmed some of the red inflammed areas of my face that are typically irritated by other toners Aloe Vera Plus Daily Moisture Fluid 11 95 for 8 4 ounces A little goes a long way with this lotion so be sparing It s lightweight fresh smelling and gives normal combination skin just enough moisture for daily wear Tea Tree Plus Wild Herbs Hydrolotion 8 75 for 2 5 ounces The Tea Tree Oil range is for oily or blemished skin and acts as an antibacterial to help clear up pimples and hopefully prevent new ones The products contain at least 1 tea tree oil and a wild herbs complex of sage chamomile witch hazel and hawthorn extracts to help control oil without overdrying the skin If you have oily or blemish prone skin and have been helped by tea tree oil before this is an excellent line The Hydrolotion is actually an alcohol free gel moisturizer that feels very refreshing on the skin and delivers just the right amount of moisture with a hefty dose of tea tree oil Personally since my skin reacts to tea tree oil I can t use this line but it is wonderful for skin that can tolerate it Tea Tree Plus Wild Herbs Blemish Control Stick 7 50 When you do get a pimple this roll on tea tree oil liquid is a great spot treatment Since the oil isn t greasy it absorbs almost instantly into the skin to go to work on those blemishes anytime of day Vitamin E Plus Wheatgerm Rinse Away Cleansing Mousse 9 95 for 3 4 ounces The vitamin E line is formulated for dry mature skin and contains wheatgerm oil evening primrose oil horse chestnut and a vitamin complex to moisturize protect and help reduce the signs of aging With autumn right around the corner I ve enjoyed using these products on those areas of my face that are starting to dry out a bit The cleansing mousse is identical in texture and cleansing ability to the Aloe Vera version above but this one has the more moisturizing wheatgerm evening primrose and horse chestnut oils to leave drier skin soft and supple Vitamin E Plus Wheatgerm Instant Skin Freshener 9 95 for 8 4 ounces Even for dry skin this alcohol free freshener is very soothing and helps loosen dry flaky patches of skin before you apply your moisturizer Advanced Fruit AHAs Shea Cream 17 95 for 1 8 ounce jar Nectar also has some advanced skin care products that can supplement the others for your skin type This cream acts as a gentle AHA exfoliant with tartaric acid from grapes and malic acid from apples and a rich moisturizer with shea butter I found the cream to be surprisingly lightweight and non greasy If you have been using AHAs in medium to high concentrations in the past this one might not be strong enough for you but it s a great introduction to AHAs or for someone with slightly sensitive skin Pineapple Avocado Face Scrub If you like a very scrubby facial scrub this one with tiny avocado stones is for you Sensitive skins beware this is not as gentle as it looks Although this scrub is fairly abrasive it does leave the skin incredibly smooth and polished and it has a great fruity scent I like it but I still recommend using a gentle touch so you don t overscrub SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Francois Nars report by Judy of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I knew that the day that I arranged to have my makeover at the Francois Nars Counter at Saks Fifth Avenue was going to be a day of fun First of all I was having my hair cut at my stylist s salon at eleven o clock in the downtown section of Philly From there I took a bus that whisked me out of Center City towards the more upper crust suburbs of Bala Cynwyd The bus dropped me off at the front door of Saks how s that for service and I was then entering one of the most glamorous newly renovated makeup departments in any store in the surrounding area I spotted the Nars counter almost immediately and saw that I was about a half hour early The makeup artist there looked to be about my age and was very warm and cordial as I introduced myself She was waiting for a friend to stop by to get her blush and lipstick done but since I was early she would get me started She explained to me that Nars does not have a skincare line so she said she was using Clarins skincare to remove my makeup Clarins eye makeup remover was very gentle and removed every trace of eye makeup I was wearing She did not remove my mascara which I thought was interesting A friend of mine told me a while ago that she used Nars mascara and didn t like it She told me that it didn t dry properly and that it smudged under her eyes Having that in mind I wasn t surprised when she said she wasn t going to remove my mascara because I had it on so nicely If not playing up Nars mascara was the case I admire her indirect method of honesty Frankly I would rather think that I had my mascara on as nicely as she said When I walked into Saks I was wearing a purple eye shadow duo paired with a bright pink lipstick not typical your Saturday get your hair done and shop makeup but this is me you re dealing with I woke up that morning feeling a little colorful dramatic you get the picture and because I have dark features and hair I can pull off this dramatic look However the Nars artist was about to change all of that I explained to her that I had a wedding to attend in August and that I wanted a look for that day My dress is an icy blue and I wanted something to bring out my eyes and hair She wasn t sure which colors to use at first and it took some playing around before she could figure out a look to achieve that I did not already have I have so much makeup as you can guess all organized in my room by makeup line lipsticks are arranged in a very large tin I also have a nice assortment of makeup brushes by Bobbi Brown Estee Lauder Trish McEvoy and Shu Uemura I never knew that Nars had its own selection of makeup brushes I was shown a few brushes that the makeup artist likes best An eyeshadow brush caught my eye because of its shape it can be used to apply shadow all over the eye and also has a tapered edge on it allowing great contouring all of that in one brush for 24 00 The eye lining brush was also very nice for 17 00 I kept saying to myself that I didn t want to spend a lot but I did want to get a few things I do not already have in my treasury of goods at home You would think that s a tough decision but there is always something to find After cleansing my face with Clarins cleansing milk and alcohol free toner which did not leave my face tight very nice but we re not reviewing Clarins today sorry she asked me if I used moisturizer I wanted to say Do you brush your teeth Loosely translated that meant What woman does not use moisturizer Even oily skinned women need protection and some moisture Okay I am off my soap box and I replied a simple yes oil free in the summertime I must give Clarins skincare a try some nice products there Anyway the canvas was ready and now the makeup artist was testing different shades of foundation on me The rest of my body is currently self tanned I usually don t use a self tanner on my face because I do not like to interfere with the good skin care regimen I am using I ll use a tinted moisturizer or my regular moisturizer with a bronzing powder to get that sun kissed look Since we both decided we liked doing that as opposed to using a dark foundation we were ready to proceed The oil free foundation was very nice and not overly priced in my opinion 37 It wasn t drying like some oil free foundations and the coverage was excellent This is definitely something I will purchase in the future The bronzing powder she used is called Soleil Some bronzing powders I have tried were too orangey or sparkly This powder has a rosier brown tone that was flattering on my face She then wanted to jump to lipcolors I normally like lips done after my eyes but she was trying to get an idea of what to use She tried a very pale neutral natural color on me but I tend to like a little more color So after removing the pale shade she applied a neutral brown shade called Pigalle topped with a gloss that contained a hint of silver in it to give the perfect sexy smile The best feature she brought out seemed to be my eyes Here again we had to figure out a look I don t already have She used a neutral taupe like color all over the lids and then I asked if she had anything in a bluish purple She decided on a beautiful blue shade called China Blue She contoured my eyes with this color and then lined it both dry and also by wetting the eye lining brush Brown eyes look wonderful lined in a deep blue making the white of the eyes look whiter This look she claimed would go very well with the icy blue dress I will be wearing I was disappointed that Nars didn t have a blush to top this look so she borrowed a blush prism in pearly pink shades from Givency My cheeks looked nice with this color since everything else was so brown neutral Last but not least she told me not to panic as she applied a little bit of pale blue you know like in the 70s to my brow bones The end result Picture perfect It s too bad some of the products used were not from Nars but hey give him time he ll have skincare before this write up is a year old Then again if makeup is his specialty then leave skincare to all the dermatologists and the more clinical lines The damage done I purchased the bronzing powder because I like its subtlety and the lipstick although I have plenty in the brown family and I didn t think she would let me out of the store if I didn t buy the china blue shadow so I complied Would I return to Nars I told the makeup artist I would come back on a Saturday before the wedding and perhaps purchase that special eye shadow brush and the big powder brush she used The shadows are sold singly and cost 15 00 which mean I may come back for the taupe shade Could I get the same look from a drugstore brand I suppose but I am a firm believer that application technique and great tools are a must to have makeup last all day The drugstore brands have come a long way but I couldn t imagine getting the same effect by using one of their shadows wet while using one of their brushes Therefore Nars brushes and great shades of eyeshadow are its strong points It s weaknesses Well before leaving Saks I stopped by the Bobbi Brown counter to pick up mascara Since I was skeptical about trying Nars I decided to buy something that I know is a good thing Maybe after using some of Nars products that line too will have earned that reputation SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT This week s

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Murad report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel For two gruelling weeks I tested Murad salon AHA BHA products I wish I could say I am pleased to bring you the results Why was the testing gruelling you may ask If you could see my face you would know why Not even when I was a teenager with the typical teenage breakouts have I seen my skin is such turmoil I think my pimples had pimples First a little background on the brand Murad is one of the many AHA BHA alpha and beta hydroxy acid lines on the market It was created by Dr Howard Murad dermatologist who designed the line to help people with dry skin acne age spots skin discolorations etc Murad products are typically sold in salons and spas and they have a moderate to high concentration of acids AHAs and BHAs work to exfoliate dead skin keep pores clear reverse sun damage soften wrinkles and help control acne and oily skin Quite an assortment of benefits but the trick is finding the right combination of products and ingredients that work for your skin I am offering these reviews of the Murad products I tried knowing full well that Murad may be the right fit for someone else but they were definitely wrong for me AHA BHA Exfoliating Cleanser Of the three cleansers Murad has to choose from this one is recommended for normal combination oily and acne prone skin It has tiny exfoliating beads that gently scrub your skin in addition to lightly exfoliating with the AHAs and BHAs For the most part my skin tolerated this cleanser but only once a day It is lightly foaming and can feel a bit drying if you are sensitive to the drying effects of a lathering product Refreshing Skin Cleanser This choice is also an option for normal combination oily and acne prone skin It is a basic foaming cleanser that contains some plant extracts and a small amount of glycolic acid AHA Again this cleanser is okay but it can be quite drying if you are sensitive to the drying ingredients in foaming cleansers Advanced Combination Skin Formula Normally the second step after cleansing is one of the two Murad toners hydrating or clarifying but I did not have access to either The next step is the Advanced Performance Skincare Treatment product which comes in either serum or cream form The most commonly available treatments is the combination skin version it is sold in most of the Murad travel and sample kits It contains both glycolic acid AHA to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and salicylic acid BHA to hopefully keep pores clear and help prevent breakouts This was not the case for me since I had a dramatic increase in breakouts for the entire duration of using the products If you do suffer from breakouts and find that benzoyl peroxide treatments like Clearasil don t help a serum like this containing salicylic acid can work for some people Skin Perfecting Lotion This moisturizer step is where the number of AHA and BHA products you are putting on your face gets a little out of control This lightweight oil free lotion is designed for normal combination or sensitive skin and would be great if it didn t also have AHAs and BHAs This many layers of acid no matter how gentle they are can become rather irritating to your skin and I experienced that first hand If this was a plain moisturizer or if you used it alone without the other treatments and serums it would be a perfect oil free lotion Murasun Daily Sunblock with Antioxidants SPF 15 Since AHAs and BHAs can really sensitize your skin and make it more vulnerable to sun damage it s more important than ever to protect your skin with a good sunscreen This lotion is actually a physical block titanium dioxide which makes it great for sensitive skin that can t tolerate chemical or synthetic sunscreens I did like this sunblock and its broad spectrum UVA UVB protection benefits Murasun Daily Sunscreen with Antioxidants SPF 15 The sunscreen version is very similar to the sunblock except that its main ingredients octyl methoxycinnamate oxybenzone and octyl salicylate are chemical rather than physical sunscreens It also has broad spectrum protection and SPF 15 Murasome Eye Complex SPF 8 Of all the eye creams I ve tried this one is pretty basic The lightweight cream absorbs quickly and doesn t interfere with makeup but for the sun protection benefits I like Avon s Anew Perfect Eye Care Cream with SPF 15 better All in all my experience with Murad was disappointing at best and I couldn t wait to stop using the products to give my skin a break I have been off the products for a few days now and already my skin is looking much better The pimples are slowly disappearing and the redness and overall irritation is almost gone Again for some people these products may work wonders but I wasn t one of those people reivew 7 3 98 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Make Up For Ever report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I am pleased to bring you my full report on my day of beauty with Make Up For Ever I was invited to spend the afternoon with a regional makeup artist for Make Up For Ever learning about what they do and of course playing with all those outrageous colors The Skin Care Make Up For Ever s focus is on color so their skin care is a bit of an after thought It has a basic cleanser and moisturizer as well as a unique cleansing oil designed to remove all traces of makeup completely without water The oil feels unusual if you are used to traditional cleansers but it is great for dry skin or if you want to change all of your makeup without washing your face The Makeup The first step if necessary before foundation is Make Up For Ever s color correcting makeup base A variety of lines have these red green and blue pre foundations that are supposed to mask skin flaws like redness dark circles and sallow skin I personally wouldn t pay money for this type of product especially 19 for one ounce Unless you have scarring or discolorations other than a basic pimple a simple foundation and or concealer should do the trick Make Up For Ever has several foundation formulas to choose from standard liquid stick and an all over face and body makeup I was treated to the face and body version in color 2 It delivers very nice coverage but with a thin easy to blend texture At 57 for a large 5 ounce bottle this makeup would be great for someone who either really likes the color and texture or who has several areas of both the face and body that require makeup One side effect is that the face and body makeup is highly water resistant so it does take some work to wash it off After foundation Make Up For Ever has a nice selection of loose powder that has to be the silkiest I have ever felt The colors are yellow based and the formula is water resistant which could be handy for those of us living in especially rainy parts of the world It is a bit spendy at 27 for just over an ounce but if you love the smooth texture as much as I did it could be a nice treat The Colors When I think Make Up For Ever I always think color With over 100 eye shadow and blush colors in everything from basic beige to the wildest chartreuse it is highly unlikely you won t find a color you like here Even the brightest purple or blue can be applied as light or as heavy as necessary to suit any complexion I was decorated in a variety of shades of purple that looked fun without being gaudy Of all the colors at Make Up For Ever the Star Powders are my favorite These tiny pots of sparkly loose powder can be used on eyes cheeks lips or anywhere you want some shine Here are a few of my favorites listed by color number 900 a silvery white 901 whitish purple 902 light gold 918 dark copper 919 dark mauve purple 922 coppery orange I experimented with the Star Powders as eye shadow brow color and eye liner both wet and dry all of which made for a very fun makeup look that s great for going out or for a special occassion The Brushes Just like every department store line these days Make Up For Ever has a huge assortment of professional makeup brushes for applying everything from loose powder to undereye concealer If you are looking for a particular brush for a particular makeup task these brushes are worth checking out I added the 16 eye liner brush to my collection since it was the first I had seen that was very thin and soft not wide and stiff like most others This thin style I think is better for drawing one fine line with wet eye shadow or cake liner The Final Look I must say that while my finished Make Up For Ever look was a bit more colorful than I am used to it was very fun and youthful If you enjoy cosmetics and playing with different colors Make Up For Ever is definitely worth a visit Their prices are in line with most other high end department store lines so spend wisely to get the most for your money If you want to try one thing that really represents what s different about Make Up For Ever my pic is the Star Powders Thank you

Jane Prestige Nat Robbins Lord and Berry and can hold its own against Urban Decay Bloom Stila etc The line is sold at Ulta3 Meijers Nordstrom Rack Urban Outfitters For more information go to www mprofessional com Most of the products are under 5 They have a haircare product line which I hope to try soon Lipliner in spice around 2 This is a lipliner in pencil style thus the name This color is a taupe almost cocoa color It is identical to Urban Decay s midnight cowboy In fact I lined one half of my lip with this and the other with Urban Decay and could not tell the difference in color or quality The liner goes on nice and last throughout the day without fading It blends with most of the lighter shades of brown lipcolor I really like this liner and was amazed at the quality for the price It is funny how identical it was to Urban Decay s which is a great deal more in price Matte Lipstick in V and Extortion around 3 Holy Matte Lipstick Batman This stuff is awesome True matte to perfection Color wonderful and quality A 1 The lipstick comes in a traditional style tube lipstick in a matte black container The quality is incredible this stuff will not come off until midnight if you keep let it You definitely have to use soap and water to remove it It could be drying but I used a little bit of lipbalm underneath it It does not bleed fade or feather It looks great and lasts forever Extortion is a great brown shade I liked this for a day color It goes great with pretty much anything I wore V is a deep wine color I really like this lipstick If you are in the market for a matte lipcolor look no further Blusher in Serene Great blush The product comes in a round container with a twist off cap They give you 06 oz of color for around 3 You can t beat this deal Serene is a nice deep coral color Great look for the spring The color blends nicely and is not overpowering It does not cake up and is smooth on the face It is a matte shade blush which is nice for the daytime I will be looking for more colors from MProfessional Eyeshadow in Taupe Sienna and Bisque around 3 This product comes in a small round container with a twist off cap These colors are nice earth tones for daytime They are all matte colors As far as I am concerned these eyeshadows can definitely hold there own with the department store lines They blend wonderfully and go on like a breeze There is lots of color here and they look wonderfully I did not experience any signs of creasing at all I would definitely buy this line again Bisque is a cream ivory shade for lightening Sienna is a rusty brown color that I used for the crease part of my eyelid Taupe is a wonderful neutral color that I used as a base for my colors Mprofessional is definitely worth a try if you ask me review 2 00 SHOP

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Models Prefer Color Collection report by Deanna of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel As many of you know I am a QVC cosmetics shopper as well as a department store boutique As seen on TV and online shopper A few weeks ago I wrote a review on the Models Prefer cosmetics line available exclusively through QVC As I mentioned in that review I had purchased several other products from that line Here are my opinions of those products Back to Basics Eyeshadow Trios 19 12 plus shipping and handling This product is a collection of three powder eyeshadows packaged in a pretty plastic silver compact They are available in Browns and Grays I purchased both colors collections Each compact contains three colors a highlight an all over lid color and a crease color The Brown collection s highlight is a beige tone with a hint of pink the lid color is a taupe brown and the crease color is a dark rust brown The Gray collection s highlight is a white tone with a gray undertone the lid color is a gray flannel and the crease color is an ink black Personally I loved these eyeshadows They are well pigmented and they have great staying powder even on my oily skin The neutral colors are very easy to glam up for eveningwear or fine for professional day wear These shadows can be used wet or dry and as eyeliners with the appropriate application techniques The colors are very true Also there are no ashy tones to these eyeshadows so I feel confident in recommending these shadows for all women including women of color however the Browns collection may be a little light in intensity for darker women of color Personally I would compare the quality of these shadows with Bobbi Brown and in fact I found the colors to be fairly similar to many in Bobbi Brown s line but without the Bobbi Brown price tag 3pc Monochromatic Eye Collection in Fall Fashion Colors 19 50 plus S H This product is a collection of three cream to powder eyeshadows The colors are Backstage Burgundy a burgundy wine color Glamour Green a bright olive green color and Snapshot Slate a navy gray color All of these shadows have a hint of shimmer to them The packaging of these shadows is very interesting They are like little silver pens with a color pot at the end The color is charged to the sponge tip applicator by replacing the pen into the little color pot This is a great idea for women on the go because the packaging is very small and slim however because these products are applied to the eye and then replaced into the color pot Because of this I would personally treat these products as I do mascara and discard them after about three months of use Initially my first reaction when I saw the colors was YUCK however after applying the shadows I found the colors to be surprisingly complementary to my skin tone and I think they would look great on just about anyone The drawbacks these shadows are EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to blend There is a great deal of drag on the eyelid even when used over eye cream and an eye base Not what I want to deal with at all However the colors do have great staying powder and definitely do stay put without creasing for about 6 8 hours Brick N Bronze 3 in 1 pencils for Eyes Cheeks and Lips Spring and Summer Shimmer 19 25 plus S H These products are essentially two pencils that can be used as eyeshadow blush or lipliner and lipstick The Brick is a shimmery peach brown color and the Bronze is a shimmery taupe brown color Like much of the Models Prefer collection I think that these colors would complement just about any skin tone and are very neutral There is some drag on the skin when using these pencils however not as much drag as there is with the monochromatic eye collection Also these pencils do contain ascorbyl palmitate and bismuth oxychloride both comedogenic ingredients so the acne prone may not want to use these pencils as a blush although I ve had no problems using these pencils as eyeshadow or as lipliners lip color Personally I really like the peach color and even though the products are shimmery I don t find that they age my eyes at all Again this is a great product for women on the go because the products are so small and portable As eyeshadows the products have great staying power as lipsticks they last well but reapplication is necessary about halfway through the day Lip Shaping Automatic Liner with Brush 16 75 These are two lipliners one in Catwalk Caramel a warm brown red and Model Mocha a warm taupe brown color Both of these liners are automatic in that they require no sharpening and are very neutral in color They would complement just about any lipstick color choice The liners also have a lipstick brush at one end making this another useful and portable product for women on the go All Over Glamour Sticks 27 50 This product contains two luminizers one is silver and one is gold These products also contain a SPF 15 sunscreen There is a great deal of product for the price and I have found that the hint of shimmer provided by these products to be invaluable for evenings out I prefer the gold however my younger sisters prefer the silver and I always have to track down the silver color when my sisters come to visit I would recommend these sticks to anyone who likes a bit of glitz for day or evening and I find them to be reasonably priced for the amount of product you get Overall I am still very impressed with the Models Prefer line even though I have found one product in the line that I really didn t like For those who would like to try the Models Prefer line but don t want to make a huge investment I d like to suggest the Models Prefer Makeup on the Go Kit This bag contains a 2 in 1 eyeshadow pen the same formulation as the Monochromatic Color Collection an eyeliner pencil Black Beauty mascara Black a lip liner pencil Studio Spice similar to MAC spice a flow through lipstick a peachy rose color the packaging is similar to the Lanc me or Chanel packaging where you dial the color up through a brush and a blush bronzer in Backstage Burgundy a brown rose color The bag is great and it comes with a great pencil sharpener

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Models Prefer report by Deanna of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Attention QVC shoppers I know you re out there don t try to hide You ve probably seen the Models Prefer line on QVC Currently this is the only place that you can buy this brand of cosmetics The company s founder and President Stacey Scheiffelin a former international high fashion model actually sits in on the television presentations of her products bare faced and in curlers Then using her line of cosmetics makes the transformation The line is targeted for busy women of all types is designed to simplify everyday beauty routines The company emphasizes a back to basics approach with products that produce maximum results with minimal effort all at an affordable price in neutral colors that will suit anyone I rarely mention product packaging in my reviews I m more of a results kind of a person however some of the packaging of these products is extremely innovative Also each product comes with a pamphlet entitled tips of the trade which suggests product use techniques Hands Free Light Diffusing Foundation and Sponge Applicator 2oz for 19 94 plus s h The foundation comes in three colors light medium and dark It also comes with a good quality diamond shaped sponge applicator I chose the Dark which like many QVC product descriptions actually means tan olive toned This product is water based and contains a SPF 8 sunscreen Vitamins A and E and happily no comedogenic ingredients The liquid foundation is in a tube the end covered by with a small applicator sponge designed to evenly spread the foundation over the T zone to reduce the amount of product needed to cover the face It worked well providing sheer to medium coverage that was a natural looking matte finish without a caking I found it held up very well without turning orange even on my oily skin in Maryland s heat and humidity I don t know about the light diffusing aspects but I will say this is the only foundation I ve tried that did not grab or emphasize my wrinkly eyelids and provided a nice base to powder eye shadow The drawbacks the foundation only comes in three colors and although I was able to achieve a close match with the Dark in the winter I will probably have to use a combination of Dark and Medium to get a good color match Flawless Neutralizing Powder and Kabuki Style Brush 1 25oz for 18 00 plus s h This is a talc based finishing powder Colorwise it s between a Bobbi Brown Pale Yellow and a T LeClerc Banane The powder is made in Italy and is extremely fine Given that the powder is talc based I was surprised that this powder did not cake or streak like some others I ve tried and it lasted well throughout the day with only one touch up It comes in a cone shaped container with a Kabuki style powder brush A little of this product is all you ll need just what you will shake out into the lid through four small holes in a screen attached to the top of the powder container so it will definitely last a while The drawbacks pitch the brush and use your own too many flying hairs Blend and Conceal Concealer and half moon sponge applicator 16 00 plus s h This silver compact actually contains three different colors a light ivory pink a medium warm yellow and a darker tan By blending the medium and dark colors more medium than dark I was able to conceal my under eye dark circles quite well and it lasted throughout the day This product contains no comedogenic ingredients I found the light ivory pink shade to be a nice brow bone highlighter so I did find a use for it The half moon sponge fits into the compact and is a nice quality it didn t fall apart on me even after multiple washing The drawbacks the product did have a little drag a bit more than some others I ve used especially on the under eye area but dampening the applicator sponge with water fixed that problem Grater Bronzer with powder brush 35oz for 24 98 plus s h I have only taken to wearing bronzers in the last four years or so when I began to shun sunlight This product has replaced my old bronzer as a definite favorite It has a grater on top of it that allows you to shave from the compact underneath only the amount you d need for one application The powder is very fine and soft and gives a natural sun kissed look without turning orange It s also a great contouring powder Best of all no comedogenic ingredients The brush is soft a better quality than the powder brush Automatic Eyebrow Pencil 2 pencils for 14 71 plus s h Since I don t have a naturally high brow arch eyebrow pencils are important to me These eyebrow pencils were described in American Marie Claire magazine March 1999 as goof proof I ll have to say I agree These pencils require no sharpening and are very soft With no drag the color blended right into the hairs to accent my brows It is a universal taupe color that could go with just about any hair color depending on how it s used The brow brush is built in with the pencil at the other end with a cover that fits tightly and doesn t come off in my cosmetic bag A definite plus in my book Blush Duo 16 25 plus s h The blush duo compact is the same silver compact as the concealer withstwo blushes of the same color but different formulations One is a cream and the other is a powder It comes in two colors Racy Rose pink and Tempting Tangerine peach I chose the tangerine color The blush had good staying power even on my oily skin but I found it was even better when I layered the cream under the powder It s a pretty blush natural looking and matte however it does contain ascorbyl palmitate a comedogenic ingredient It is listed pretty far down on the ingredient list so there isn t much I was able to use this blush with no problems so my suggestion is to try it and if you find that you are breaking out in the cheekbone area return it Also the cream does have a little drag to it so dampening the applicator is necessary Four in One Eye Collection 16 00 plus s h The collection consists of two tubes with different products at each end One tube is waterproof mascara and thickening mascara both in black The other tube is clear brow gel and liquid eyeliner in black frost The mascara brushes are the Christmas tree type and work well Both mascaras performed well with no flaking The eyeliner is what caught my attention I hadn t used liquid liner in a long time and I was worried that the combination of frost and liquid liner would age my eyes Not so this liner actually enhanced my eyes making them pop without aging them It did not look hard peel or flake problems I ve had with liquids in the past It is possible to smudge the liner if you prefer but it does take a steady hand and you ll need to do it while its still slightly wet once it s dry it s there to stay All in all I m very impressed with the Models Prefer line It performed very well and was in my opinion an excellent value So far I ve found it to be a great line of affordable basics Altogether there are about 25 products If you watch the TV presentations one piece of advice if you see something you like call quickly These products constantly sell out You can find these products at www qvc com or by calling 1 800 455 8845 you can request a catalogue of the 13 most wanted and it has a coupon for the Mix and Match Lip Palette I recently purchased a few other

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Merle Norman report by Danielle of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel As a Professional Makeup Artist I often get invited to help promote makeup lines and give makeovers to their clients This is a great opportunity for me to try out makeup on myself I get free makeup samples prior to the event as well as see how it reacts on others Recently I was hired by the owner of a Merle Norman Studio for such an event She gave me a sample of what she called Merle Norman s best selling foundation LUXIVA Face the Day Creme To Powder Makeup She told me that it was for all skin types This product boasts a smooth flawless matte powder finish When I got the product home and tried to apply it it felt very gritty almost like I was trying to rub sand or salt onto my face The coverage wasn t good at all and it did not set on the face very nicely When I looked in the mirror after application it just looked well bad I could actually still see the granule like spheres of pigment just sitting there going hey we re those tiny little granule thingies you were just talking about and we re just gonna like sit here and annoy you all day Now because this was the best selling foundation according to this particular Merle Norman Studio I was asked to use this product on the clients that came in the next day for their makeovers Thinking postive as I always do ummmm okay I went ahead and tried to use this product It did the same thing to everyone oily complexions dry complexions it didn t matter As a professional I take pride in my work and just couldn t allow these poor women to go the rest of the day with this on their faces So I opted to use Merle Norman s liquid foundation and a separate powder This gave a much more even cleaner look I would not recommend this product to any skin type because of its texture and coverage however if you are an avid user of those creme to powder formulations then this product would be for you P S Merle

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Merle Norman report by Deanna of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel My birthday is coming up and in the continuing search for great cosmetics I treated myself to a Merle Norman makeover I hadn t used their products for about some time and I thought it was time I had a look see for something new The studio was pretty lots of glass and chrome and the two clerks were extremely helpful and furnishing me with answers to any questions I had without any hard selling It was a sweltering 98 degrees outside so after a quick cleansing Luxiva Collagen Cleanser toning Luxiva AHA Toner and moisturizing regimen Luxiva Preventage here s a list of the products I tried and how they worked for me Merle Norman Cover Up Concealer in Medium Deep 11 00 This concealer comes in a little tube very minimalist in its packaging which is fine I prefer to pay money for the products not the package anyway It worked quite well It covered my dark circles the legacy of being a new mother almost completely The effect was very soft and natural not in the least bit cakey sticky and no raccoon eyes I almost looked like I wasn t wearing anything I d buy this concealer in a heartbeat Luxiva Cream to Powder Foundation in Tan Beige 26 00 The Luxiva line is one of Merle Norman s premier lines of cosmetics Like many foundations of its type it goes on a liquid and dries to a very nice matte finish providing good medium coverage It has contains a sunscreen giving the product a rather high SPF 25 rating I wore the product all day and it held up very well even giving the heat and my oily skin What I didn t like about it was the color too ashy white kind of greige This was not a great match for me In fact of all the foundations I saw at the studio I highly doubt that they had a better one there for my skin tone this one was about as close as it could get Luxiva Ultra Foundation Powder in Ultra Golden 22 00 This product is actually another foundation this time in powder form which the make up artist used as a finishing powder for me It brightened up the foundation and brought it a little closer to my actual skin tone The powder was very soft and gave me a more natural glow but could not provide the coverage I wanted if I used this product as a foundation alone It did make a nice finishing powder though Merle Norman Automatic Shadow Base 10 00 This product is a white ecru colored eye shadow base designed to stop the eyeshadow from creasing and caking on the lid Well I have to admit that the shadow did not crease but I don t know if it was because of this product or the quality of the shadow Also I have a really hard time accepting that this white cakey formulation even the make up artist had a little trouble with it really did my golden toned skin any good However it did blend well with the light colored eyeshadow I was wearing Luxiva Eyeshadow in Linen and Bark 13 00 Both of these shadows were excellent I usually go with natural colors during the day and I really liked these The tones of these shadows were rather cool and I normally prefer warmer tones but the artist managed to make my eyes pop using this shadow They lasted all day and through the most of the evening with no retouches On the negative side they did tend to accentuate the web of fine lines around my eyes but on the whole I was happy with the quality and the range of colors these shadows were available in Merle Norman Automatic Eye Pencil in Black Onyx 10 00 This eye pencil is rather unremarkable It is one of those types that require no sharpening It was applied with minimal drag It lasted about four hours in the heat before it began to melt off my face I didn t find anything special enough about it to warrant a 10 00 price tag Luxiva Mascara in Black 13 00 I haven t bought department store mascara in a very long time I have to say that I liked this one and I would buy it It s thickening and lengthening formula really made my lashes look about an inch long Normally for glamour evenings I ll wear false eyelashes because my lashes are thick but short My husband even commented on my lashes after application of this product If you only knew how rare that was Merle Norman Blush in Woodland Rose 12 00 This was the second of the Merle Norman products to fade on my skin it only lasted about an hour I also found the color to be a bit to rosy for my preference but given the intensity of the eye make up it was a good match from an artistic point of view Still I don t think I d buy this product not enough staying power on my skin Merle Norman Lipliner in Deep Red 10 00 I didn t find this lipliner special in any way In fact this was the third thing to melt off my face It did provided a nice line not too harsh and definitive with very little drag but unremarkable all the same Luxiva Lipstick in Cabaret Red 13 00 Although this product provided a good stain to the lips it was more mess than it was worth Almost immediately it came off everywhere By the end of the first hour I just removed it It was just too goopy Merle Norman Brow Sealer 11 00 An unremarkable product very much like the clear gel brow tamers you can find in the drugstore for about one third of the price Overall it was a pleasant experience I m going back to the studio tomorrow It appears that Merle Norman will be debuting their new fall colors August 1 1999 so some of the older eyeshadow stock is going on sale half price Also the fall colors are a little more burnished so I m going to see if there are any new colors there that I like

care offerings I m also a fan of some of her cosmetic items Secret Camouflage for covering up any unwelcome zits when are we ever happy to see them Secret Concealer great for covering up any dark undereye shadows and her Amethyst lipstick has always been a favorite of mine I had the perfect opportunity to road test the following items when my husband and I recently took a short vacation One Step Cleanser 38 for an 8 oz bottle This is a very basic no nonsense formula that will completely remove any and all makeup and dirt from your skin It also works well when used in the shower Nothing fancy or ground breaking is in this cleanser just vitamin E collagen and witch hazel listed among its garden variety ingredients It will not irritate sensitive skin and it does not contain any comedogenic ingredients Honestly the only thing off putting was the very medicinal scent Other than that I was very pleased with it Moisturizer Cream with SPF 15 38 for a 2 oz jar I was very happy using this cream during the day and at night It wore well under my foundation and did not make my skin oily The built in sunscreen is a convenient feature Remember I m in a less is better frame of mind right now Again this cream contains nothing comedogenic or irritating Sodium hyaluronate vitamins C E and emu oil are listed among the ingredients Firming Eye Cream 32 for a 1 2 oz jar According to the package this eye cream was made to blend with Laura Mercier concealers to give them a little more slip I prefer to use it at night for more moisture over the Moisturizer Cream and just use Secret Concealer by itself under my eyes during the day when needed Lip Silk 14 for a 0 4 oz tube When have you ever known me to pass up trying a lip product of any kind This is a vitamin E and Alpha Hydroxy lip balm Great as a lipstick base and also as a clear gloss It kept my lips very soft and moisturized If you travel frequently or are looking for a basic line of skincare products Laura

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Laura Mercier report by Connie of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I ve read about Laura Mercier numerous times in INSTYLE Magazine She was the makeup artist for Madonna on Evita I had to try her product line I found Mercier sold at Neiman Marcus You can also purchase her products from lauramercier com The nice thing about being at the store was testing the products on my skin before I purchased them It was also fun hearing the sales person tell me the Laura Mercier no make up make up look philosophy Foundation Primer 27 The makeup artist told me that you apply this first before your foundation and it makes the foundation last longer throughout the day It also acts as a filler so that your makeup does not absorb into your pores Now this had hustle written all over it to me But I bought it and I am glad I did I like this product It is a light moisturizer that comes in a tube and it has a gel like feel to it It absorbs quickly on your face and when I use it my make up does look better and lasts longer Moisturizing Foundation in Warm Ivory 38 This comes in a glass bottle with a pump This is by far the best foundation I have ever used It goes on light and blends beautifully I was never a big foundation person before I tried this product Now I do not wear makeup without it It smoothes out the skin and matches really well to my skintone A little goes a long way Secret Concealer 18 This is a great concealer and matches my skintone well Blends extremely well and hides dark circles like you would not believe It is thick not runny like others that I have tried but not greasy It comes in a small eyeshadow like twist top container My only complaint is I wish she would give us a bit more product Other than that it s a great and I mean great concealer Lip Gloss in Raspberry Glace 18 I am not a big fan of lip gloss I prefer matte lipcolor so this was a stretch for me It is a thick gloss and does not bleed It is really shiny and has great color If you are lip gloss fan this may be a good buy for you It has a good amount of staying power and does not come off easy Translucent Loose Powder 30 This is a light powder with excellent coverage It sets my foundation and concealer beautifully and is my number one favorite powder It is so sheer and light I love it Great Buy and a must have for me If you have normal to oily skin this has great staying powder I don t have to reapply until late afternoon it really helps to control shine and gives me a porcelain clean skin look Pressed Powder in Beige 28 If you are going to go for a powder product in her line get the loose powder The pressed is nice but for the price there might be better out there The sales woman sold me on Beige but I still feel it is too dark for my skin and a bit orange Bronzing Powder 30 This comes with two shades of bronzer and should be applied sparingly This powder has a nice texture to it and blends well It has a little shine to it but I like that in a bronzer This is a good bronzer but my favorite is still by Guerlain you can t beat their color Velour Puff 12 This is a great powder puff and works wonderfully with loose powders It is soft and does not fall apart after you wash it It rolls nicely on the face and bends well Really good buy If you like loose powder you will like using this puff for application Overall I really liked her products and did not mind paying the price I plan on continuing to use most of them review 02 00 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Laura Mercier report by Anne of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I recently had a make over at the Laura Mercier counter For 45 pampering minutes Rose did a full makeup application The best part of the make over was the enthusiasm of the artist She really loved what she did and it showed She also put absolutely no pressure on me to buy a thing and she sent me home with generous samples of Laura Mercier s foundation and primer The make over emphasis was on perfecting the skin with the Foundation Primer Oil free foundation Secret Camouflage Concealer and Loose Powder The Blush Ivory foundation reminded me of Bobbi Brown s Oil free in texture It had excellent coverage but unfortunately it turned pink on me as the day wore on The primer was a gel like product and I noticed no difference in the way the make up wore with or without it The Secret Camouflage Concealer offered excellent coverage and lasted very well The artist explained the only way to use this product was to mix it with a moisturizer into a paste and apply with a concealer brush It has a thick unworkable texture if you apply it on its own This may be a good option for people who can patiently apply it The Wild Bouquet blush was nice but didn t seem to be that much different from any other lines The eyeshadows Buttercream and Stormy Night were nice subtle matte colors What surprised me was for 15 00 you get so little Just 1 5 grams English Rose was a lovely color lipstick and it wore well but was nothing exceptional The black mascara was okay but didn t seem to lengthen my lashes much Overall I think Mercier is a high priced quality line Someone with oily skin may be very happy with the foundation if they can get a good match The loose powder has a wonderful silky smooth feeling and wore well The brushes were okay but even the Mercier artist used some MAC brushed of hers as she preferred them SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Maybelline Express 3 in 1 Foundation report by Aina of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I ve never used a foundation in stick form before probably because I don t wear foundation every day It s not that I have such great skin but I just don t have the time to fuss with it on a day to day basis I was curious about it so when Maybelline came out with an affordable stick foundation and since I had a coupon I decided to give it a shot The problem I have with drugstore foundations is obviously that you can t try the colors in the store but I refuse to open a perfectly good package of whatever it is I think it s so rude when people ruin the makeup packages to test the color Also the range of colors can be quite limiting when you are a woman of color Colors are too light dark orange green you name it I love it when companies display samples of their colors to try but I really hate it when customers steal the samples Don t they realize it s not fair to the rest of us But I digress I have Maybelline s True Illusion liquid makeup in Caramel and it matched my skin pretty well so I figured the same shade in the Express Finish would match me too so sight unseen I bought it Luckily it did match my skin as good as any drug store foundation could It was a little on the green side but it was nothing that blending really really well couldn t fix First I couldn t tell how it should go on The commercials show spokesperson Sarah Michelle Gellar drawing and dotting it on her face so I decided to do the same thing Boy did it come on thick No amount of blending could erase this mask on my face I washed it off and tried again using a few dots and using a sponge It went on much better this time The coverage was medium more coverage than I m used to It wore well through out the day no streaking or sliding off my face It works even better when you use your fingers to blend it the coverage is more sheer that way The commercials also say that it finishes powder light well it sort of did My nose was still a bit shiny so I used a bit of loose powder and it looked better I liked it but I m just not used to so much coverage The thing I like best about it is I can take it anywhere I always have it with me at work so I can redo my face after one of my lunchtime workouts or if I m going out on a workday evening and want to look nice If you re curious about stick foundations but don t want to spend a fortune this is a good one to invest in There is a decent range of colors but of course no colors for the very dark when are cosmetic companies going to listen to their consumers Overall I would definitely recommend this product and would buy this again SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Mary Kay report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Cosmetic Connection is pleased to finally bring you long awaited reviews of Mary Kay cosmetics and skin care After trying a few MK samples and finally meeting with a MK Independent Beauty Consultant for a complimentary facial and introduction to the products I bring you these reviews of everything I tried Gentle Cleansing Cream 1 10 for 4 ounces If you follow the directions this is a nice cleanser for dry skin that is not irritated by the use of a washcloth you can rinse this cleanser off but a washcloth makes it much easier It does a fair job of removing makeup has minimal fragrance and works well with just a small amount Creamy Cleanser 2 10 for 6 5 ounces Very similar to the Gentle Cleansing Cream you can splash this one off or use a washcloth It is more fluid than the cream removes makeup just as well and is a good choice for somewhat dry or normal skin that likes a more milky cleanser that doesn t foam or lather Moisture Rich Mask 1 12 for 4 ounces I like that all MK s masks are exfoliating as well as deep cleaning or moisturizing This one has tiny waxy beads in a creamy base great as a scrub or a mask for dry skin Great in the shower Revitalizing Mask 2 12 for 4 ounces I was not as happy with this mask it has ground up shells and seeds that are too sharp and jagged for your skin Exfoliating should always be gentle If you have normal to oily skin the clay base of this mask is nice for excess oil just be careful about how much scrubbing you do Hydrating Freshener 1 11 for 6 5 ounces This level one toner for dry skin is the only one that doesn t contain alcohol so it s the only one I tried I m not a fan of alcohol in toners because they strip too much of the natural moisture from your face which if you are oily only makes your skin produce more oil to make up for the dryness This freshener does contain menthol arnica and peppermint which can be irritating to sensitive skin but it also contains allantoin and aloe which are soothing This is definitely worth sampling first before you buy to see if it works for you Enriched Moisturizer 1 16 for 4 ounces This is a very basic and fairly effective moisturizer that contains mostly water and mineral oil If you are extremely dry you ll need something more emollient as this lotion is somewhat thin but for normal to dry skin it s lightweight and works well Balancing Moisturizer 2 16 for 4 ounces Very similar to the Enriched Moisturizer I really couldn t tell the difference on my face between the two For normal skin as a daily moisturizer this is a fine choice The only thing both lotions are missing is sunscreen Acne Treatment Gel 6 for 1 5 ounces For the occasional blemishes this 5 benzoyl peroxide cream gel works well and doesn t overdry the skin I tried it on a few pesky pimples and saw excellent results within 2 days Day Radiance 2 Liquid Foundation SPF8 11 for 1 ounce MK believes that foundation is part of your skin care routine as a protectant from the environment so it s included with your initial skin care purchase I ve been very pleased so far with this liquid foundation for its medium coverage smooth demi matte finish and allday wear without caking or fading The color selection is decent and you can choose from oil free liquid regular liquid or compact cream I also had fun playing with MK colors and created these looks Crystalline shadow with sable pencil on eyes desert bloom and camel blushes on cheeks suede lipstick with choice chocolate liner White sand spun silk and truffle as liner shadows on eyes azalea blush on cheeks chocolate mousse lipstick with choice chocolate liner All of the MK colors lasted well throughout the day especially the lipsticks Overall I m glad I finally tried Mary Kay and can recommend most of their products as effective and reasonably priced For more information about Mary Kay visit them online at www marykay com or

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Marlene Klein Cosmetics Marlene Klein cosmetics are available only from a website and are advertised as professional makeup at internet prices I couldn t resist trying this line I hoped to find great products at reasonable prices For the most part the products are good but a few are overpriced Here is what I tried Oil Free Liquid foundation 20 in Ivory This was a nice sheer simple foundation It was not fragranced and did not irritate my skin The color was a neutral ivory not especially yellow or pink It did a nice job evening out my skintone I normally prefer more coverage than this but on a good skin day this product would suffice Powder Foundation 25 in Ivory This product is clearly a MAC Studio Fix wanna be It provided nice coverage and was even a smidge less oil encouraging than Studio Fix I applied it lightly with a brush and was satisfied with the natural look Tube Concealer 12 50 in Fair To be honest I m not a huge fan of tube concealers I prefer pot concealers This concealer was nice for the undereye area it was a very good match for the oil free foundation It was not however long lasting on my oily skin but most tube concealers are not Creme Lipstick 10 in Clove I enjoyed this product and this color The lipstick was not drying to the lips and lasted around three hours on me Eye Shadow 11 00 or free with purchase in Taupe This was an okay product the shade was neutral but not highly pigmented The good news is you can get a free eyeshadow if you purchase 10 or more at the Marlene Klein Cosmetics website so it s not too risky to test out an eyeshadow from this line Blush 11 in Sand Pink Is anyone else noticing that a lot of these color names are exactly like Bobbi Brown s Just as a warning they are not exact matches for BB This is a very pretty shade of blush however It provided a fresh soft glow to my face Overall this line isn t bad I consider the foundations to be a bit overpriced but if you can find a good color match the price may be worth it Most of the color products come in wearable neutral tones the line is not overly sparkly or bright You can view this line at www

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Mario Badescu Skin Care report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel After a recent magazine interview with Martha Stewart in which she says she swears by Mario Badescu skin care I naturally got dozens of requests from readers like you wanting to know more about the line Since I was already curious about it myself I was happy to oblige I called the spa number and spoke to a Skin Specialist to figure out the best MB products for my skin The woman asked me some questions quickly labelled my skin combination and created a regimen for me These are the products I was recommended Orange Cleansing Soap for all skin types 12 for 8 ounces Considering the number of products I ve tried I would say I ve learn quite a bit along the way If you have sensitive skin like I do learning to understand an ingredient label can be a big help I ve discovered that there are quite a few ingredients that are infamous for irritating acne prone but not oily skin like mine and this cleanser is no exception The second ingredient after water is stearic acid known for its pore clog ability If you have a tendency towards breakouts you ve got quite a blackhead fest here In terms of cleansing power Orange Cleansing Soap does a fair job of removing an average amount of makeup but you have to be careful around the eye area it can really sting Personally I can think of several other gentler cleansers that I d much rather use Garden Botanika Skin Renewing Cleanser Biore non foaming gel BeneFit All Types Wash RoC Cleanser Toner In One Cucumber Cleansing Lotion for combination and dry skin types 15 for 8 ounces I have never been a fan of alcohol in toners too drying so when the skin care specialist at MB recommended this one for me I questioned it She insisted that my skin needed it to keep the pores clean Far be it for me to argue with a specialist but this is simply not true and definitely not what my skin needed It left me feeling very dry and uncomfortable The one slightly redeeming quality about this toner is that it has real honest to goodness cucumber bits floating around in it If they could just leave the alcohol out they might have something good here Maybe I should make my own cucumber toner at home Hyaluronic Eye Cream for all skin types 18 for 5 ounce jar This was one of the few MB products that I really liked and didn t have any kind of adverse reaction to This is an emollient cream with carnation oil aloe and hyaluronic acid to really moisturize the dry areas around the eyes My only advice is to be careful how close you get this cream to your eye as it can creep in and make your eyes feel filmy and your vision temporarily cloudy Otherwise I liked this cream very much Oil Free Moisturizer SPF17 for combination oily and sensitive skin types 17 for 2 ounces Again I have to mention the surprising ingredients in products that claim to be for combination oily and sensitive skin This lotion is oil free and does have a nice silky feel but it contains cetyl alcohol glyceryl stearate stearic acid myristyl lactate AND triethanolamine all of which can contribute to major breakouts I would definitely not recommend this lotion to someone with any sort of acne problem Seaweed Night Cream for combination dry and sensitive skin types 18 for 1 ounce jar This very emollient cream gave me some much needed relief from the drying cleansing soap and toner but truly good skin care should not put the skin into a cycle like this drying it out with one thing and replacing the lost moisture with something else Everything should work independently and be gentle on the skin I have to again point out possible breakout problems with this cream for those of us who get pimples even in dry areas hormones can do crazy things to your skin This cream has stearic acid and isopropyl myristate both of which rate high for pimple possibility I would not be concerned about this were the cream not labelled in part for combination skin For someone with dry skin and no breakout tendencies this cream is a fine choice Almond Honey Non Abrasive Face Scrub for all skin types 15 for 4 ounce jar This has to be the most abrasive non abrasive scrub I ve ever tried This is not a bad scrub just poorly named Oatmeal kaolin clay and corn meal provide the texture while honey almond oil and algae extract soothe and moisturize The only ingredient I find completely unnecessary is PVP a plastic resin often found in hairspray which leaves a strange waxy film on the skin Definitely not my idea of clean Strawberry Tonic Mask for combination oily and sensitive skin types 18 for 2 ounce jar This is a basic kaolin clay mask with some strawberry extract thrown in for color Like the scrub this also has PVP so there is a strange filmy feeling on the skin after you rinse the mask off I can think of several other clay masks that I like better Beauty Without Cruelty Queen Helene Mint Julep Estee Lauder Almond Clay Pack Better Botanicals Refining Facial Mask At first I wondered if I just got the wrong products for my skin considering how hit or miss products can be this can easily happen However after reading over the ingredients of more of the products featured on Martha Stewart s site http www marthastewart com she sells them through her Martha by Mail online store I know that most of these products simply could not work for me Almost every moisturizer and mask have the pore clogging ingredients I mentioned above plus others If you are at all concerned about breakouts regardless of your skin type this is a difficult line to work with For more information on Mario Badescu products check out the website at http www mariobadescu com I d like to thank the Sage Skin Care site for their

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Isabella Rossellini s Manifesto report by Nava of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel It seems as though boutique brands of make up and skin care are poised to swallow up the main floors of our favorite department stores Every month we open up the fashion mags to read about some new must have that s only available at one obscure specialty shop deep in the heart of Soho Not so with Manifesto If you live near a Bloomingdales you re in luck Since I grew up looking at Isabella Rosellini in all those Lancome ads I m familiar with her unconventional beauty I m not surprised she developed a make up line as unique as she is The packaging is modern and spare the products multipurpose The counter is very approachable and testing the products is not only encouraged it s enjoyable Just as I was starting to enjoy surfing and buying from all the new cosmetic websites Manifesto restored my faith in the department store experience But that doesn t mean I m giving up my computer in favor of stalking the main floor of Bloomies Manifesto is all about the basics Nothing you ll feel pressured into buying and never using The foundation comes in a liquid or compact formula There s one shade of translucent powder that works for everyone The powder blushes can be used as eye shadow and the Triple Use Colors can be used on eyes lips and cheeks All the colors are numbered so there are no names to remember Here s what I tried Compact Foundation SPF 14 Shade 6 26 50 The foundation shades are mainly yellow based This one blended into my skin perfectly The texture was weightless and dried to a powdery finish It wore comfortably on my oily skin Transparent Powder 23 50 This powder really is colorless and transparent on the skin It fluffed easily over the Compact Foundation for a natural matte look Eyeshadow Blush Shade 7 18 50 A natural peachy rose shade perfect as a blush A little too pink to use around the eyes but great to add healthy color to your cheeks Triple Use Eye Lip Cheek Color 19 15 A cream color that can be used as eye shadow blush or lip color This rosy brown shade makes a great neutral eye shadow or lip color As an eyeshadow it stayed on crease free all day Lip Gloss 2 13 50 A shiny shimmering rosy brown shade Lasted through a large frozen yogurt Lipsticks 1 5 15 each Possibly the two most perfect neutral lipstick shades I ve ever seen Lipstick 1 is similar to Lip Gloss 1 so it s all about your preference Lipstick 5 is a creamy brownish pink that s outstanding on a fair complexion The lipsticks have a creamy long lasting texture Some optional products worth checking out Lip Pencil 2 12 50 Manifesto s carbon copy of MAC s Spice pencil but with a great creamy texture Lip Gloss 1 13 50 A shimmering lilac shade that s very in right now Concealer 1 16 50 Packaged in a tube with a sponge tip applicator Erased a minor blemish on my chin It did not cake or streak At the make up artist s suggestion I also use it as a lipstick base Great tip Manifesto stands apart from the garden variety department store lines It s easy to spot the quality and the thought that went into creating the products The foundation powder and blush compacts are all stackable The bottoms are mirrored There are even tiny mirrors on the tops of the lipstick tubes If you re looking for wearable make up with a no nonsense approach Manifesto is the way to go Yes it is safe to walk the main floor again Happy Shopping review 12 99 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER JULY 98 MAKEUP FOR OILY SKIN A Test Drive from our Panelist Alissa I have been to the foundation s edge It was not always a smooth flawless journey I encountered many distractions on the road including masked faces that changed color I bought blended and beautified Here is what my objectives were in recommending a foundation and powder No cakiness No mask like coverage No color changes i e turning orangey Comfort I didn t judge on longevity unless a brand touted that as a feature So with that in mind here is the good the bad and the ugly on foundations and powders for adult oily skin Foundations Garden Botanika Oil free Foundation 1oz 10 00 I am a big fan of many Garden Botanika products but this foundation will not be one of them While this foundation is oil free it does leave a bit of a sheen on the skin The color turned orangey on my skin and left me feeling like I was wearing a mask I would not recommend this product Avon Perfect Wear Foundation 1 oz 8 95 I really like Avon s Perfect Wear line including the lipsticks and lip liners but the this foundation was bad I felt like I was putting spackle on my face It dried so quickly I did not have time to blend it into my skin Also Perfect Wear is not as long wearing as it claims to be This is not a foundation you want to wear on a sunny hot day unless you like looking like half your make up is off your face Origins Original Skin More Coverage 1 oz 14 50 Origins is a confusing line for those of us who have oily skin because most of their products contain some type of oil But I decided to give this product a try I really liked the texture of the Original Skin and it was easy to blend The More Coverage was applicable because it did look like I had more coverage However if you are looking for lasting coverage more than 8 hours forget it Even though the product is not meant to be a long wearing product it disappears before the end of the day I would only recommend this product if you want to wear makeup for a few hours otherwise pass it up Aveda Compact Dual Foundation the foundation itself 19 75 the compact 12 50 I love this product This powder from Aveda can be worn wet or dry I prefer wet The coverage can vary depending on how you apply it You may want to use a toner to wet the sponge The coverage lasts longer and looks more natural using a toner than water I felt like my skin was fresh and not heavily made up This Aveda product is a bit pricey but I would recommend it if you are looking for a good foundation with light coverage Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place Makeup 1 oz 27 50 The good news is that this foundation is oil free and lasts for 12 hours and can last through various activities The bad news is that this foundation is heavy masky and fake looking Also I had to wash my face twice plus use a toner to remove this foundation Double Wear Stay in Place Makeup seems better suited as an out all night foundation I can t recommend this foundation for daily use Maybelline True Illusion Makeup 1 15 oz 4 99 I loved this foundation True Illusion really lives up to its name It is oil free and the color I used True Cameo perfectly matched my skin There is also an SPF 10 to boot However I would not use a moisturizer with this foundation When I used an oil free moisturizer the foundation was harder to apply and did not look as natural Skip the moisturizer and True Illusion will make you a true believer in natural looking foundation Cover Girl Fresh Complexion Oil Control Makeup 1 oz 3 95 I haven t used Cover Girl products since high school so I thought I would try to re live the days of my youth by trying this product Fresh Complexion is actually a decent foundation It has a great texture blended easily and did keep the oil under control The only drawback for some of you may be the fragrance otherwise consider giving Cover Girl another look Powders Origins Powder powder itself 13 50 compact 4 00 puff 3 50 This powder from Origins is average It is a little bit too cakey and powdery for my skin However I did like the puff that I purchased separately It is a good sized puff that is soft and good to use for other powders Garden Botanika Pressed Powder 42 oz 10 00 Again I will have to give the thumbs down to this product from Garden Botanika The pressed powder is extremely chalky and the range of colors is very limiting either too dark or too light Skip this powder Estee Lauder Demi Matte Oil Free Loose Powder 1 1 oz 21 00 Airy and light to the face just what a powder should be like Demi Matte was non cakey which I loved I would definitely recommend this powder for those of you who like a loose powder Estee Lauder Double Matte Oil Control Pressed Powder 49 oz 17 50 Double Matte was way too heavy for a powder When using this powder with a foundation I ended up looking cakey and like I was trying to fake a tan It is oil free and non acnegenic but I still would not recommend this powder Clinique Stay Matte Sheer Pressed Powder 27 oz 14 50 Stay Matte Powder is a truly great pressed powder Besides being oil free Stay Matte works with many foundations especially with True Illusion I liked that it was non powdery and light Stay Buff was a good neutral shade that matched my skin exactly I would recommend Stay Matte for women who are looking for a good oil free pressed powder SHOP Get what you need

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS MAC Clones report by Brita of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Invasion of the MAC Clones We ve all heard that the only difference between a 20 lipstick and a 2 one is the packaging Well when it comes to eyeshadow even that distinction has been obliterated Fortunately for us companies such as Jane Nat Robbins Maybelline and M Professional have produced a generation of MAC clones that promise us the professional look at a much gentler price Dressed in sleek black minimalist pots they sure look tempting particularly since you can scoop up eight or nine for the price of one Bobbie Brown shadow But do they deliver Well yes and no I decided to test four lines Black Opal Nat Robbins M Professionals and Naturistics In a future column I hope to test Jane Prestige Maybelline and Revlon Professional With coupons the four shadows ran about 8 at Ulta 3 a chain of beauty supply stores I chose shades of chocolate brown and plum neutral shades that I wear everyday I wanted a product that blended smoothly but had enough pigment to define the crease of my eye The first difference I noted was the limited selection of shades The browns I selected Black Opal Fudge and Nat Robbins Creamy Chocolate were a bit darker than what I would have chosen The two plums Naturistics Twilight and M Professional Smokey Plum were very pretty but a little too purple for my taste In both cases a soft application of another color could mute them down but that also meant more time and care were needed to put them on I also discovered that much depends on the choice of applicator You can t just grab any old brush and slick them on M Professional s shadow as it turned out was disappointing on the first try pale and somewhat streaky Then I applied it with MAC s no 144 brush which has chiseled bristles for extra control I was delighted with the depth and intensity of the shade and liked this line the best of any I tried It also required minimal touch ups throughout the day and came in a lovely assortment of colors Another plus I applied it both wet and dry and noticed that moistening it didn t permanently wreck the shadow pot which can sometimes happen By comparison the other plum shadow was literally a wash out Naturistic s Soft Tints produced pale smudges that looked as if I had a black eye This line has some interesting shades including a particularly kicky lime green but I would choose it only if I wanted a subtle overlay of color The Black Opal shadow was definitely a find but more suitable as cake eyeliner than as shadow The pigmentation is very strong and the shades very vivid because this line is designed for women of color But if you wet the shadow and apply it with a foolproof eyeliner brush like Trish McEvoy s no 11 you ll find that it works nearly as well as MAC s nifty creme eyeliner or BeneFit s Babe Cakes Comes in a limited range of colors but very nice ones with strong brown undertones I have mixed reactions to Nat Robbins shadow which is not truly a MAC clone because it s a cream to powder formulation It dries in approximately 15 seconds which means you don t have a lot of time to play with it If you choose a dark shade you d better be expert because you really have just one chance to get it right I do think that it would be absolutely terrific in as a highlighter or shadow base because the coverage is excellent and very long lasting Might also work on the cheekbones or as a base for lipstick The moral of this story Making the most of the MAC clones requires improvisation and an open mind But you can t beat the price SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics SPONSOR

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Luzier report by Aina of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I was contacted by a Mary Kay like Company called Luzier Cosmetics They sent me a ton of their skincare products Here s what I tried Milk Cleansing Lotion 11 According to the catalogue they sent me this is the cleanser for normal or combination skin The milky cleanser was supposed to be pourable but I found it to be really thick It is non lathering and removes makeup fairly well I just didn t feel clean after I rinsed it off It seemed like there was a film on my face I probably would not buy this cleanser My skin is combination but more on the oily side so the cleanser was a bit too emollient for me Cleansing Gel 11 This cleansing gel was great The clear pink gel foams lightly and removes makeup and dirt and mascara easily My skin was left feeling clean and not dry at all The only quip I had with this gel is the fragrance lightly almond scented I got over the fragrance though and overall really liked this cleanser and would recommend this for all skin types Skin Freshener fragrance free 9 I really didn t see what this skin freshener for dry skin did at all Since it had no fragrance it basically felt like water I noticed nothing extraordinary about this product at all Moisture Light Balancing Lotion 11 This is an oil free moisturizer for oily skin It looks light and pearly in the bottle It feels great going on and a little goes a long way My skin felt just a little dry in the cheek area and I found to be great for under makeup It has no fragrance I really liked it but now that the weather is cold it doesn t suit me Moisture Fresh lotion 11 I really liked this lotion It s a very basic moisturizer The one negative observation I can make about the moisturizers I tried is not one of them have a SPF The descriptions of the other creams in the catalogue don t mention a SPF either I m starting to get more concerned about sun protection as I m entering my late 20 s and realizing that being African American does not exclude a person from sun damage Cellular Wrinkle Therapy CWT 22 I really didn t care for this cream which is supposed to be used under your nighttime moisturizer My feeling was this could be the night cream It was very emollient When I used it under the Cr me L Unique my skin felt too oily and looked too shiny The creams felt very heavy Plus there was no way of telling if the CWT was working on my wrinkles since I really don t have any I don t think you can tell by a sample if this product will work in the long term Cr me L Unique 17 This is a heavy night cream supposedly for all skin types but to rich for my combination skin I woke up shiny in the morning and when I used it with the CWT underneath I was downright greasy in the morning Not for me I did not have one breakout with these products however Alpha Hydroxy Skin Treatment 16 This was a gray foul smelling thick gooey mess of an AHA cream It made my face oilier than before I applied Most of the samples I received were very generous not this one I had no way of knowing how this was affecting my problem spots I really didn t see any change Alpha Hydroxy Plus 18 This was a much much better version of the AHA treatments It has 8 1 2 Glycolic Acid so one would probably see more of a difference sooner It is non greasy and gave me no adverse reactions to my skin at all I would definitely recommend this AHA instead of the regular AHA product Lumar 11 50 This is what they call their signature product This green cream is a multi purpose hand cream facial night cream or even as a balm for minor burns scrapes rashes even diaper rash I used it as a hand cream and liked it a lot It can also be used as a facial massage cream once a week I liked it best as a hand cream That about wraps up my Luzier experience The prices are reasonable and most of the products I would use again I m just not in the habit of mail ordering Who knows I just might pick up a few things if the mood hits me review 1 00 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics SPONSOR

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS L Oreal report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Plenitude Turning Point Instant Facial Scrub 8 99 If you patrol the drugstores like I do in search of new products I m sure you ve spotted this new scrub Unlike most scrubs you put this one on your skin when it s dry work it in a bit let it sit for a minute then rinse it off Turning Point is gel based with small spherical jojoba scrub beads that manually exfoliate as well as a beta hydroxy acid BHA ingredient capryloyl salicylic acid that basically goes into your pores and helps clear out dead skin cells that can make your skin look dull and flaky and can contribute to breakouts Turning Point also has mineral oil to give the scrub a little slip so it s more comfortable on dry skin Personally I think this scrub is gimmicky doesn t produce the dramatic results that the label claims and doesn t exfoliate as well as a regular scrub I d sooner recommend Remede Sensitive Sweep Sage Corrective Grains Youngblood Papaya Enzyme Scrub or Astara Daily Refining Scrub Plenitude Turning Point Instant Facial Cream 11 99 Like with the scrub L Oreal promises amazing instant results with this beta hydroxy cream I just didn t see it It has the same capryloyl salicylic acid BHA as the scrub which may be gentle but just doesn t produce the dramatic results that they claim It s fine as a moisturizer but that s about it QuickStick Face Body Blush 12 29 Although I m not the biggest fan of cream blush I can never pass up trying something new The reason I don t care for cream blush is simple you almost have to have perfect skin to pull it off It works best on clean bare skin which means without foundation or concealer and without powder I don t know about you but my skin has not arrived to that level yet The iced plum color I got is very pretty sheer plum purple with the tiniest hint of gold shimmer It lasts fairly well on but again it s ideal for flawless skin that is basically normal not oily or excessively dry HydraSoft Deeply Softening Lipcolour SPF12 10 19 With so many different types of lipstick to choose from I am amazed that anyone can make a decision anymore I guess L Oreal decided we needed another formula and HydraSoft was born I admit I tried HydraSoft with low expectations thinking it would just be another tube for the makeup wasteland I call my garage but I actually like this one It feels great on comes in a nice selection of colors I got blissful cherry and actually lasts fairly well Every day I tried it I put it on in the morning wore it for a few hours then ate lunch after which I expected that perky cherry color to be completely gone but it wasn t It did soften to more of a stain like finish but there was enough color left that I didn t have to reapply right away One last note about these new L Oreal products Is it just me or are drugstore products like these getting more and more expensive Drugstore used to mean inexpensive but I do not consider 12 for blush to be inexpensive Several department store or boutique lines sell their blush at close to the same price Lorac 14 Garden Botanika 9 50 Stila 14 What gives Okay

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Lorac report by Jennifer of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Ordering online can be a tedious task especially if your ordering color I lucked out this time around with Lorac I ordered my products from Sephora com The digital pictures were clear and concise and appeared true to the actual product If you too decide to order from Sephora you are in for a real treat Each of the products were meticulously wrapped in a pretty Sephora box great for reuse I was about to throw out the box when I noticed another wrapped item You can imagine my surprise and delight when I opened a very nice and useful cosmetic carrying case I thought this was a nice touch especially for a first time order I also paid no shipping It is clear to me that this is a company that caters to its customers needs With that said on to the review Lipstick in Claire Lipstick is an absolute necessity for me I do not tan and I have very fair skin with dark hair If I forget lipstick I tend to look very drawn and pale So if there is a cosmetic I will not be without it s lipstick Let s face it most women have more than a modest supply of this precious commodity This soft pink is perfect for Spring or Summer It is sheer light and very hydrating There is nothing matte about this product so if you shun sheen look elsewhere It also wears well and delivers a smooth application I definitely like it and will be stocking up on other colors It certainly is not easy on the pocketbook at 17 50 but if you feel like indulging I think you ll be glad you did Mascara I am a faithful Lancome Definicils user I have tried other mascaras and always go back to this favorite however I like that Lorac s does not smudge or run and it gives a nice full finish On the other hand I did not care for the wand It is very fat making it difficult for me to apply mascara to the bottom and corner lashes It is priced close to Lancome at 17 00 and truth be told I prefer my old standby If you like a soft yet full finish you may like this product however if applying your mascara is already cumbersome enough for you I d steer clear of this wand Blush in Plum This minimalist packaging is a bit too minimal This blush comes in a typical single round case with a clear twist off lid Sorry I prefer a hinged lid like MAC otherwise it is just too inconvenient Packaging aside I like the feel finish and application of this product I ordered Plum but it s really more of a Rose Goes great with the Claire lipstick review 02 00 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Lorac report by Lindsey of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel With such an industry name backing this line Carol Shaw I expected a lot What I found was an average product line with really no standout products although there are some nice color varieties I used the Oil Free Makeup Remover several times and found that it doesn t even remove all traces of eye makeup even after I used several fresh cotton pads soaked with the product I had to go back to Effacil by Lancome to get the remaining makeup off Also the Lorac Makeup Remover left a sticky residue on my skin I wouldn t want to try to reapply makeup over this residue At 17 for a 6 5 oz bottle the only plus for this product is the nice pump dispenser The Lorac Lipstick 17 50 was also just an average product I bought Brooke a basic tawny color and good daytime shade I have similar coloring as Brooke Shields but that s where the similarity ends Overall there is a nice color selection Lorac Lipstick has a nice creamy formula that goes on easily and I felt this color could be used with or without lip liner There is a slightly noticeable odor in this lipstick which reminded me of the white zinc lip sunscreen I used to wear when snowskiing I also used the Lorac Eye Pencil 12 in Black Again nothing special Also I was surprised at the limited number of color choices Black or Brown The Lorac Eye Shadow has some really nice colors and I was very happy with my purchase of Pink Mist a soft pink with just a touch of shimmer It s nice to see a light shimmer eye shadow that can be worn during the day in a conservative work environment I used Pink Mist as a base color over the entire eyelid and it went on very nicely It wore very well throughout the day even with my oily skin and still didn t crease after 10 hours Each Eye Shadow is 16 and although it s a nice product MAC eye shadow is less expensive and just as good if not better review 12 8 99 SHOP Get what you need plus

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS L Occitane report by Lindsey of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Anti Shine Rebalancing Cream Gel 20 for 1 4 oz Anyone who has read my oily skin reviews before knows that I ll try just about anything to control oil and shine I keep telling myself that I ll have fewer wrinkles later in life because of this oily curse L Occitane products are relatively new in the U S and I do love many of their bath and body products You ve got to try their Linen Water A new product Anti Shine Rebalancing Cream Gel claims to normalize and correct the sebaceous imbalances typical of oily skin It is supposed to form a protective layer on the skin surface to retain moisture and can help tighten pores Active ingredients include oils such as lemon cypress mint and ylang ylang with astringent What I smelled was herb garden This cream gel has a very organic smell to it but I won t hold that against it As the cream gel is absorbed by the skin I could actually feel the pore tightening effect It immediately leaves a matte finish and prepares the face for foundation However this product quit controlling oil and lost the matte finish after 4 hours Just enough to make it through the morning I also feel that there is not enough moisturizer in this product which is why my skin wanted to produce more oil I would recommend a separate moisturizer especially for nighttime The cream gel does contain sunscreen Overall not a bad product for very oily skin but for anyone with combination skin I would recommend using something more moisturizing This would be a great product for people in their teens and early twenties because highly moisturizing properties aren t as needed It also worked pretty well over my standard moisturizer with slightly longer lasting results L Occitane can be purchased online at www occitane com or in their stores nationwide review 2 00 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER MARCH 00 PANEL PRODUCT FAVORITES Lisa is a 27 year old from Columbus Ohio She has very fair skin that tends to be combination and much oilier in the summer Lisa s heritage is rather mixed mostly Hungarian with some Scottish and French mixed in with a dash of Native American Strangely enough her very fair skin tans like nobody s business so she has to be careful and wear plenty of sunscreen Her skin is also not really sensitive except on her nose Lisa has green eyes with lots of gold and red hair not naturally though she s been coloring it a subtle auburn since she was 15 Lisa s main beauty concerns are puffy sensitive eyes and blackheads on her nose E xfoliant AM Origins Never a Dull Moment I use this lusciously scented scrub every morning in the shower it works 2 ways apricot seeds gently remove dead skin skins while papaya enzyme re surfaces It also REALLY helps with blackheads on the nose Cleanser PM Origins Mint Wash or La Mer Cleansing Gel Both of these products do an excellent job of removing makeup dirt and excess sebum while maintaining moisture and a soft smooth feel Toner AM and PM Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2 I have been using this product for about 12 years now It has the perfect amount of oomph needed to exfoliate and control any excess oil but doesn t strip the skin I ve tried other toners but I always return to Clinique Moisturizer Day I always use an SPF moisturizer under my makeup no matter what the time of year Currently I use Avon Luminosity and am pleased with the results Avon s patented Diamonex complex smoothes skin and adds a rosy glow while protecting with full spectrum SPF I also love Neutrogena Healthy Skin Face Lotion and Oil of Olay Complete Moisturizer night Creme de La Mer Emulsion Lotion either regular or oil free depending on the time of year and the attitude of my skin This moisturizer is absolutely amazing I admit my addiction This moisturizer makes your complexion so smooth and rosy while helping to clear up blemishes and discoloration It s a splurge but the results are worth it Eye Cream Day Origins Eye Doctor This lightweight lotion cools and refreshes and it won t make your mascara run It also helps concealer to go on smoothly and comfortably Eye Cream Night Creme de La Mer the original cream While this super lotion is just too moisturizing for my entire face it makes a PERFECT eye cream for night Visibly diminishes dark circles and little lines it even makes your eyelashes grow a bit longer and thicker Mask Tipton Charles AHA mask I love this effective mask for all over exfoliating and helping to clear up blackheads on the nose It is extremely effective yet gentle enough for sensitive skin The visible results of this mask last for at least 4 days A super performer in my opinion Foundation Cream Liquid Almay Skin Stays Clean oil free compact foundation This foundation easily compares with much more expensive foundations it goes on smoothly with light to medium coverage and perfects without looking at all heavy It s oil free formula won t cake or appear dry Powder MAC Studio Fix A classic mainstay of my collection Studio Fix perfects while looking

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER DECEMBER 96 PUCKER UP You know it happens every year It s inevitable You spend hours getting ready for a holiday party only to eat off all of your lipstick on the cookies punch and fruitcake There must be a better way right Here are few hints and tips for keeping your favorite lipstick color on your lips not on your food Tip 1 When you apply your foundation blend some over your lips Not only will it make the surface of your lips smoother it will help hold your lipstick on longer Tip 2 Alternate applying and blotting your lipstick to create layers of color By layering the color you are less likely to have nothing left after you eat something Tip 3 Line your lips after putting on your lipstick Don t be afraid to color right into the lipstick then use a lipbrush to blend the liner into the lipstick Not only will the liner define your lips but when it is blended into the lipstick it keeps the color on longer and prevents bleeding Tip 4 Try one of the popular long wearing lipsticks They set on your lips so they are less likey to transfer to your food or a napkin Nat Robbins Stay Put I like this one the best because it wears evenly and doesn t crumble if you reapply Revlon ColorStay L Oreal Colour Endure Prestige WearEver Maybelline Great Lip Tip 5 Don t wear lipstick Okay I m half kidding I often do this when I know trying to keep the color on is a complete losing battle like at a family get together The compromise is to wear a long wearing formula in a natural looking color that wears off slowly and evenly From my huge lipstick collection here are a few holiday favorites Stila MAC Desire a purplish plum stain that can be as light or dark as you make it Stila Lipshine Lilac perfect for this season of shine and purple Nat

this fall I decided to hit my local department stores here in Windsor in search of The Dream Lipstick You know what I mean The lipstick that makes you feel as glamourous as Michelle Pfieffer even if you re buying Pampers at the drugstore I found four lippies that I really liked and I think you would too Elizabeth Arden Lip Spa Bare 91 This had an SPF 15 in it which is a nice bonus The colour is a great nude a good basic staple of any woman s makeup wardrobe There were only two minor complaints I found the packaging a bit gaudy it s a sort of silver and gold affair and the smell of the product was downright repulsive Luckily you d have to go out of your way to smell it even though it sits right under your nose The texture was creamy there s no other way to describe it and I would recommend Elizabeth Arden Lip Spa as it is a high quality product with a good range of colours Clinique Different Lipstick Sweet Honey 96 After giving this an initial two week run and then moving on to other lipsticks I thought I wasn t too wild about this but I noticed that despite this I kept coming back to it again and again The reason Its glosspot texture means you don t have to fiddle around with a lipliner or even have a in front of you just whip it out and slap it on Being a full time working woman I especially appreciated this aspect It s almost like a lipbalm with colour so you don t have to worry about staying in the lines when you apply it A small bonus I really liked Clinique s packaging It s a kind of space age silver tube Well done Clinique The downside of the Different Lipsticks is that 1 it s not longwearing reapplication is a must and 2 it gets used up quite quickly But who cares I m already looking forward to trying another shade in Clinique s Different lipstick range Estee Lauder Perfect Lipstick Sheer Bronze PL 70 As the name implies this is Estee Lauder s bid at producing The Dream Lipstick and like virtually everything else in the EL range it is an outstanding product well worth every penny It went on and I can t emphasize this enough incredibly smoothly was sheer and yet wore for longer than the Clinique Different Lipstick Sheer Bronze is probably too dark for pale blonds but it would go well on just about anyone else I guess my only complaint is that you don t get that I m so hip it hurts cutting edge feeling that you might get with some other designer brands Benefit Hardy Candy and Stila spring to mind But if that s the only fly in the ointment EL have named this lipstick aptly Helena Rubinstein Rouge Forever Creme High Tenacity Creme Lipstick Beryl Rose 07 This was my absolute favorite lipstick for a couple of reasons some of which may not be that important to you First of all the packaging wasn t so flash that it screams designer lipstick yet it had nice touches and a nice weight to it Secondly the smell drove me wild I don t know what they use but it really made me itch to apply it Call me perverse it s just a small factor which I find important And thirdly the texture was substantial almost waxy yet easy to apply It reminds me of my mother s lipstick and that s exactly what I like about it It is pure 50 s Hollywood star lippy make no bones about it Regarding the colour you ve either got the confidence to wear Beryl Rose or you haven t If you have you ll feel very retro get out your pedal pushers and your white heels If sexy kitsch isn t for you don t despair HR have many more colours to choose from and not all are matte there are some very nice sheer colours as well And HR s Virtual Reality line has some funky

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS L Oreal Line Eraser report by Judy of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Since Retinol is supposed to be the new wonder ingredient as the 20th century turned and is what the alpha hydroxys were for the late 80 s early 90 s I decided I needed to explore L Oreal s new product Line Eraser Being in my mid forties and having survived the breakout stage I now have another concern aging While I do take great care of my skin your face is your fortune mom always told me and enjoy the products I currently use I am a believer that sometimes your skin needs to be shaken up Shock therapy if you will Line Eraser was not an expensive adventure at that With age does come wisdom I wouldn t plunk down a cool 40 or more for any wonder cream because it could turn out to be a disaster cream Samples are a blessing and I urge each of you to get samples or insist on trying products before you buy them So drug stores don t allow this but experimenting is at least affordable At 16 95 I didn t have much to lose The packaging states to use Line Eraser if You want an intensive anti wrinkle night treatment You want to help reduce the signs of sun damage You want a smoother more even toned complexion Since Vitamin A is the purest form of Retinol I was expecting a small miracle After applying Line Eraser for the first night I thought the cream seemed a bit greasy Because I have combination skin I didn t feel the need of a night cream over the treatment For those of your with dry skin you may feel the need for an additional night cream For me it seemed perfect When I woke up in the morning my skin did not seem greasy but had a naturally soft feel to it After using the treatment for one full week I am not sure I noticed much of a difference Remember my skin is already in good shape even for my age Someone at work mentioned they thought I looked rested The first person to tell me I look younger gets a prize This product is very good and I would say its only shortcoming is that you need to use an SPF 15 moisturizer if you would like to use it in the daytime I would recommend trying Line Eraser The packaging does state that it takes two weeks to notice a difference so I can hardly wait till the end of the second week review 01 00 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER MARCH 00 PANEL PRODUCT FAVORITES Lindsey 28 a self professed makeup junkie is an Internet Product Merchandiser for a retail catalog company in downtown Chicago She is having a change of skin suddenly after 20 years of having VERY oily skin A one time connoisseur of oily skin products she is finding it hard to make the change to combination skin products yet at the same time it s a great excuse to buy new products She has blue eyes medium skin and light brown blonde oily of course hair M ornings 1 Exfoliate 3 4 times per week in shower before cleansing I like Philosophy Under Your Skin but it s not for sensitive skin It really allows other products to work better and gets rid of dead skin and speeds healing of blemishes 2 Cleanse face with Chanel Precision Gel Puret I prefer gel or foaming cleansers Also try Prescriptives Sparkling Cleanser for Oily Skin 3 Remove left over eye makeup with Chanel Precision Demaquillant Yeux Intense Also try L Oreal Gentle Eye Makeup Remover 4 Apply toner with flat cotton pad I like Chanel Precision Lotion Puret Also try BeneFit Alpha Smooth In the summer I like Clinique Clarifying Lotion 4 Be careful if you have dryer skin as 4 has a lot of alcohol in it I generally need at least some alcohol in my toner 5 Spot treat blemishes with Oxy 10 or BeneFit Boo Boo Zap 6 My goal of eye cream is mainly prevention Apply eye cream with small dabs under eyes and around corners Although it is a cream and not a gel I really like Chanel Precision Eye Correction Anti Wrinkle Firming Eye Cream It doesn t make my eye area greasy or cause my makeup to run Also apply at night after cleansing For dark circles I occasionally use Lancome Vitabolic Eye during the day 7 Apply moisturizer New favorite is Chanel Precision Hydramax Oil Free Hydrating Gel Also try Bobbi Brown Face Lotion or Prescriptives All You Need for Oily Skin After moisturizer I use Precision T Mat Shine Control from Chanel You can apply it under or over foundation for at least 4 6 hours of shine control I m impressed I m now ready for make up 8 My nighttime routine uses the same products but I omit the Shine Control Three times per week I apply Alpha Hydrox Extra Strength 10 AHA Oil Free Formula before going to bed helps that exfoliation process When my face feels particularly yucky and I have the time I apply a facial mask before bed to get all of the crud out of my pores A recent winner for me is Better Botanicals Refining Facial Mask for Combination Oily skin may be too drying for dry skin Also try Philosophy Forest Gunk good for all skin types non drying Verdana Arial Helvetica sans serif vAlign top width 125 Arial Helvetica sans serif Arial Helvetica sans serif bgcolor b09cc0 SHOP Verdana Arial Helvetica sans serif width 125 Get

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS J F Lazartigue report by Connie of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I recently had a chance to try 4 products from the J F Lazartigue haircare line Lazartigue is a high end haircare line that can be found on eve com Lazartigue has several lines to choose from including everyday dry hair oily hair frizzy hair volumizing styling and special treatments I tried products from the everyday dry hair volumizing and styling lines Rapid Drying Shampoo 17 for 5 oz Yes you read right 17 for 5 ounces but hey if it dries your hair faster I m in I was so excited to try this product because my hair is thick and long and takes forever and a day to dry The product claims to enable you to cut your drying time by up to 30 either naturally or with a hair dryer depending on length and type of hair Well it did not work for me It took me the same amount of time to dry and sometimes even felt a like a longer amount of time to dry I did everything no product in the hair air dry towel dry than blow dry but nothing seemed to speed up the total drying time This is a nice shampoo however and I did like the way my hair looked and felt after using it Again it did say drying time depended on the hair type and maybe this kind of shampoo just won t click with my hair Hair Volume Tonic 32 for 3 4 oz This is a leave in product which is supposed to help you style and maintain volume and body to your hair I did like this product My hair had lots of life to it and shine after using it It lifted at my roots a bit and held the curls towards my ends when I used a hair dryer The drawback is the price It is a bit steep and I have tried several other products like Paul Mitchell s Heat or Matrix s Volume for much less money and they held my hair just the same Pre Shampoo Cream With Shea Butter 51 for 6 8 oz Well my hair is as dry as can be especially with this Chicago winter I was excited to try this and was not disappointed The directions say to apply the cream to the most damaged part of the hair and leave on for at least 2 hours rinse and follow the recommended shampoo I put it on right before bed and slept with it in my hair I loved this stuff On the days that I used it I noticed a difference in my hair it was looked less dry softer and shinier and felt full and healthy I noticed an extreme difference between the nights I used it and nights that I did not The hard thing was working it into my nightly routine I don t know about you but I do not have 2 hours to kill before washing my hair in the morning so I had to do it at night I was skeptical about this product because I thought after I used it there would be no change and it would all wash out I was wrong It did make a great deal of difference in my hair for the better The price might just be worth it for this You can find Lazartigue products at eve com gloss com and beautyscene com review 2 00 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Estee Lauder Splash Summer 1999 Colors report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel The Splash collection includes a two in one eyeshadow quad lipstick nail polishes and cream bronzing stick Estee Lauder has also introduced Instant Cover SunBlock SPF 15 for summer Unfortunately none of these products did anything for me For starters the colors in the Splash eyeshadow quad 35 are in my opinion not flattering at all Trying to combine the white khaki copper brown and saffron yellow shadows into anything even remotely pretty was a major challenge for me If you are into trendy looks maybe you d like these colors but I have a hard time recommending them For cheeks Estee Lauder is offering their Minute Blush cream blush stick 27 50 in Bronze It s also a rather disappointing shade too copper orange to really be flattering on anyone If you want a bronze cheek color stick with a bronzing powder for a more subtle and natural look The selections for lips I tried Copper Sun LipBlush 15 and nails Quick Finish Nail Lacquer 6 are more subdued but are still equally unflattering shades of beige Beach White pale yellow Sunbleached and muddy light brown Sanddune I can t imagine these colors looking good on anyone s nails The final product I tried from Estee Lauder s summer products is Instant Cover SunBlock SPF 15 22 50 The concept behind this compact is great a creamy SPF 15 sunblock in a small mirrored compact but the reality falls dramatically short of what I imagine Estee Lauder intended The first problem with Instant Cover is the overpowering fragrance As if sunscreen doesn t have enough irritation potential this one smells like one of Estee Lauder s perfumes If the compact had no label one could easily assume it was solid perfume Second while the creamy texture is nice the product is too white and iridescent to wear on your face unless you are into the greasy look Finally the notion of applying sunscreen to only parts of your face concerns me To be fully effective you need to apply a generous amount of sunscreen to your entire face neck shoulders if necessary pretty much anywhere the sun will hit This dab and cover method is either a sunburn or wrinkle waiting to happen review 6 28 99 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Estee Lauder report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Every time I visit my local cosmetic counters and the saleswoman asks me what skin care I use it s never the same thing I am constantly changing looking for the perfect product For the past several weeks my bathroom has been Estee Lauder central complete with a few of their basic skin care products All in all I was pleasantly surprised with them I haven t used EL since I was about 15 and could see buying some of these again Tender Creme Cleanser for normal dry skin 16 50 for 4 2 oz tube I really like how gentle and thorough this cleanser is For those of us with skin that s more dry or sensitive it s an excellent choice I found it worked best if I applied it to my dry face massaged it in for several seconds then rinsed it off with lukewarm or slightly cool water It removes makeup easily and doesn t leave a greasy film If you like something that foams or lathers this isn t for you I d give this one a perfect 5 out of 5 stars Splash Away Foaming Cleanser for all skin types 18 50 for 3 4 ounce tube If you have normal slightly oily or oily skin this is a great foaming cleanser that won t leave your skin overly dry or tight The creamy lather smells fresh and leaves the skin soft and smooth Personally I didn t find the for all skin types claim to be true however it left my already dry skin tight and flaky when I used it both morning and night just in the morning was better Splash Away does remove face makeup well but keep it away from your eyes to avoid painful stinging For every skin type but dry this gets 4 out of 5 stars Clear Finish Purifying Toner 16 for 6 7 ounces This toner comes in two alcohol free formulas one for normal dry skin and one for normal oily skin Both are effective refreshing and have a clean fruity fragrance The normal dry version soothes with peach lavender and thyme extracts while the normal oily helps control oil with grapefruit papaya and orchid extracts Both get 4 out of 5 stars DayWear Super Anti Oxidant Complex SPF 15 37 50 for 1 7 oz jar While I don t think you have to spend 37 50 for a good moisturizer with SPF 15 I would do it again for this one This medium weight cream soothes and protects with hyaluronic acid SPF 15 and an anti oxidant blend of green tea extract grapeseed extract ubiquinone rice bran extract folic acid and vitamins E C and beta carotene While Estee Lauder says it s good for all skin types oily skins might be happier with the new lotion form coming out in March For normal combination and dry skin I love this product and give it 5 out of 5 stars Diminish Retinol Treatment 47 50 for 1 ounce I am not easily impressed but I was when I saw results with Diminish after just two days Retinol is a vitamin A derivative that gently exfoliates dead and damaged skin cells replacing them with fresh new cells This sloughing action can make wrinkles less severe and reduce splotchiness age spots and sun damage On developing wrinkles around my eyes and those stubborn red spots left over from healed blemishes Diminish made my skin look smoother and more translucent in the first few days After just three weeks of nightly use my skin tone is more even with fewer red blotchy areas The retinol in Diminish is encapsulated in collagen to be gentle so there s less chance of irritation great for someone with sensitive skin and it s lightweight so any skin type can use it Diminish is rather expensive at almost 50 an ounce but for its traditional lotion texture that doubles as a regular moisturizer soothing green tea extract and impressive results I would recommend it to anyone looking for a smoother complexion SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Estee Lauder Uncircle report by Evelyn of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I have to admit that I was skeptical when I first noticed the ads for Estee Lauder s Uncircle eye cream The thought of diminishing under eye circles was very appealing I ve always hoped that enough sleep would do the trick but that if it didn t healthy doses of concealer could be counted on But I admit to having my doubts I d always thought that if you had deep circles it was usually a result of genetics more than sleep deprivation and that make up was pretty much your only solution The sales woman at the Lauder counter was very enthusiastic about the product noting that it had flown off the shelves immediately following its launch I decided that all this likely meant was that a lot of women were plagued by dark circles and grateful for something that promised to diminish their appearance despite misgivings I allowed myself to be seduced by the ad copy and her comments and decided to try it for myself The product comes in one size only and though the bottle is small it should be enough supply for at least six months The company says Uncircle must be used faithfully for several weeks morning and night before results become apparent So I eagerly opened the box and tried to pump out the tiny bit of product the company says is needed The pump was so stiff that a large blob squirted out After repeatedly being forced to waste the lotion I found that if you position your thumb under the pump opening it allows you less room to push down and therefore less product comes out But it s clumsy and awkward and doesn t always work I tried opening the bottle so that I could apply the product directly but was unable to do so Note to the Lauder product development people a redesign or package improvement would be a terrific idea The consistency of the lotion is relatively light but I did notice that no matter how little I used my skin felt tacky and the Uncircle never quite seemed to dry I prefer skin creams that don t leave a residue and years ago I gave up on Lauder s Eye Zone for the same reason This tackiness was a major problem in the morning when applying makeup over the lotion Liquid or cream makeup tended to pill up in little blobs when applied powder foundation was somewhat better I used Uncircle day and night as directed for about four weeks before sadly conceding that there was no appreciable difference in the shadows under my eyes To give Estee Lauder the benefit of the doubt although I don t think that my under eye circles are much darker than the average person s that may be possible After all that s a pretty subjective thing to measure And the company may argue that I should have used it for a longer period of time But the lack of visible results after a month which I felt was a reasonable period of time coupled with the application problems made me abandon Uncircle and go back to good old concealer Uncircle seemed to be a generally good light evening moisturizer and others may indeed have better results than I did in using it for its intended purpose SHOP Get what you need plus save

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Estee Lauder report by Judy of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I can t remember the last time I used Estee Lauder skincare With the exception of trying Nutritious the new lactic acid based skin treatment you know the one with the milk bottle shape and Futurist Lauder s new treatment anti aging foundation I didn t know much about their basic skin care When I was in my late twenties Night Repair was born and so paved the way to clearer brighter skin Estee Lauder was the second skin care line I used after graduating from Clinique The line has grown with several new products produced each year In this current time I feel Estee Lauder is more complicated than ever with so many lines within the main line So what does Lauder have to offer a 42 year old like me I decided to check out the Lauder counter at a nearby Strawbridges store here in Philadelphia PA The sales associate for Estee Lauder was a bit distracted when I arrived She was short staffed and trying to do too many things at one time To top it off she was suffering from hay fever and coughing into her hands the very hands that were going to be used on my face After popping a lozenge into her mouth I was relieved as the coughing subsided My skin type has had many conflicting evaluations I seem to believe that in the warmth and humidity we Philadelphians tolerate my skin needs less creams on it in the spring summer months However she determined that my skin was normal to dry I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt to find out what products she would use She began with Tender Cleanser which can be tissued off and which seemed most convenient for her to use since there wasn t a sink at the counter I had the impression that perhaps this wasn t the appropriate cleanser for me but for now all she was interested in was getting my face makeup off in the most convenient manner The cleanser was ordinary in that if it wasn t backed up by the wonderfully refreshing purifying toner my face wouldn t have felt clean The purifying toner was wonderfully mild alcohol free with some thyme in it I ve heard that thyme can be irritating the operative word being can I have never had a problem with it The moisturizing step is a bit complicated Three products were used and at first I thought of the expense involved with three giants such as Fruition Night Repair and Resilience I could use Avon s new Anew Perfecting Complex which contains all of the same effects as the three Lauder products plus there is an SPF 15 sunscreen in the Avon cream for less than half the price and come out with the same results But the Fruition does smooth out the skin with just 2 pumps and it does last for quite a while It can be used under other moisturizers as long as the moisturizer used doesn t have an AHA in it otherwise it can be too drying on the skin Next a few drops of Night Repair was patted over the Fruition Night Repair is something that can be used in the daytime as well as nighttime I would consider changing the name of this product particularly because it has a sunscreen in it why would anyone need that at night It s a nice serum type moisturizer that once again is to be used under the moisturizer which brings me to Resilience A fairly standard moisturizer that contains some elastin to firm the skin it s something I probably couldn t justify spending forty plus dollars on However considering three products were now applied to my skin I was not in the least bit greasy My skin was now prepped for makeup Since I have used Futurist foundation and found it to be quite appealing I asked if she could use that on me She liked the idea that I knew what I wanted again making it easier for her This anti aging foundation comes in several colors and intensities which at first seem to be too yellow for most skins When I first was tested for Cameo I thought that it would look hideous on me I told you the sales associate was distracted and now I was convinced she sold lampshades in her last job She was ready to put a medium shade of powder on me when I asked is she was going to use concealer After the age of 35 one discovers a new friend in concealer Estee Lauder s concealer is okay and she was right to say you just pat it on never rub it in Medium seemed to be a good color for me and the coverage was okay but not better than some other concealers I have tried She asked what makeup look I wanted My Italian heritage has blessed me with dramatic coloring dark eyes and hair and a slightly pale but olive skintone sometimes has me longing for blondeness and light eyes needing only a little bit of natural toned enhancement But hey you are who you are I told her I wanted neutral colors but she reacted as most makeup artists do saying that I look good in more color She even broke out the makeup brushes saying she felt like an artist Oh what the heck I wanted to make her day She combined a peach toned compact disc shadow all over the lids and she used a deep blue as a contour I thought that contrast would be too intense but she wasn t heavy handed and it did look nice She outlined my eyes with a pencil in an amethyst color that gave softness to the look She started to use a Spice blush but then blended it with Petal Desire when she realized she wanted to use a pink lipstick on me Blush and lipstick should always match is what she told me I was really starting to take a liking to this woman She was really doing her job showing who she thought was the novice makeup user all the tricks of the trade even if she had to be reminded of them Wineberry lipliner topped with Passion Pink lipstick completed the look I couldn t wait till my boyfriend saw this he likes neutrals and very natural lip colors Oh what do men know I think a bright lipstick color is threatening to them for some reason All in all I would say that with a little more training this sales associate could graduate to a makeup artist I was surprised that her makeup was applied beautifully Maybe it really was a new career for her The damage done I bought the Passion Pink lipstick blame it on an early mid life crisis I also bought the Pure Velvet mascara which really thickens and separates more than any Chanel or Christian Dior mascara could A promotion was currently going on a FULL SIZE ThighZone a great deal in itself since that retails for 45 00 two lipsticks a Resilience body lotion a small tube of Lip Zone and a hair brushed all tucked into a large white striped beach bag for 18 50 with any purchase Of course I had to have it Tthree hours after my makeover I didn t feel greasy at all Maybe I really am drier at this time than I thought I really don t want to buy a whole costly makeup line but if I were in the market for it some day I would consider Estee Lauder SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS La Prairie report by Patty of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel La Prairie is a very expensive line made only in Switzerland I had been curious about La Prairie products for a while but because of the expense had never tried them I asked a representative Julie if she could explain the line and products She was very informative and even gave me some samples to try Cellular Emergency Tonic 65 I have tried innumerable blemish treatment products over the years This one is not very special In fact this one is probably one of the least effective products I have ever tried I was a little disappointed because Julie practically promised me that it would improve my skin after just one use Well I did not notice any difference in clarity even after using Emergency Tonic for a week and two days The active ingredient is salicylic acid which is pretty standard for a blemish treatment therefore I can t understand why La Prairie thinks they should charge 65 Plus the serum smells really bad I would not recommend this stuff to my worst enemy Suisse De Sensitizing System I got a 3 day sample of this 3 step sensitive skin treatment Day one Cleanse Day two cleanse and moisturize Day three cleanse moisturize and protect with an SPF 15 daytime moisturizer The idea behind this system is that sensitive skin can be shocked when too many products are simultaneously used so gradually adding products is the best way to weed out irritants It also holds to the philosophy that less is more especially when it comes to sensitive skin All of this made a lot of sense to me but I just didn t like the products Both of the moisturizers in the system nurturing cream 125 and barrier shield 100 were much too rich for my skin And while they did not cause breakouts they did increase my skin s shiny look not really what I was going for I also didn t care for the cleanser cleansing emulsion 55 because it felt more like a lotion and did not remove all of my makeup I don t have a sensitive skin problem but even if I did I don t think I d buy these overpriced products Age Management Re texturing Booster 150 This was one of the very expensive La Prairie products that I liked enough to consider purchasing The Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acids are suspended in an Aloe Vera Gel base which makes them more absorbable and potent than many other AHA products Added bonus The aloe also makes this product a gentle one Re texturing Booster is marketed for aging skin but my 23 year old combination skin really loved it I noticed a substantial difference in the clarity and texture of my skin after only one use It s been a week now and my skin still looks much better than it did before I began using the Age Management Re texturing Booster Cellular Defense Shield Vitamin C SPF 15 95 I was really excited when I heard about this product because I have been looking for a way to combine treatment and sun protection I try to buy foundations and moisturizers that have built in SPF but this summer my skin s been rejecting most moisturizers and my foundation s SPF is not full spectrum Cellular Defense Shield seemed to be the perfect answer This Vitamin C lotion which can also double as a moisturizer for those of us with combination and oily skin comes prepackaged in 5 convenient tubes called ampoules In total 95 will get you a sixty day supply I received a 7 day sample and liked the light texture and heightened radiance it gave my skin so much that I may just purchase this product after my regular vitamin C lotion runs out Lip Repair 65 I love this stuff Before discovering lip repair my lips seemed doomed to be forever chapped I had tried so many creams from Chap Stick to Clinique s all about lips but none have made the difference that lip repair has I can t say enough about this product It has a smooth creamy yet light texture that nourishes lips without feeling sticky It absorbs in a millisecond yet leaves lips feeling and looking smooth for hours It also made all of my lipsticks last twice as long Lip repair has AHAs and a Retinol complex that surprisingly did not irritate my lips at all A little goes a long way so

immediately attracted my attention and made me think it would be refreshing and I was right it is Aromatonic Body Treatment Fragrance 25 for 100ml 39 The treatment fragrance is designed to energise and stimulate it certainly has that effect when first applied With essential oils like sweet lime ginger and green tea you can imagine the strong aroma I loved the fragrance however I knew I had sprayed too much on me one day when I went to work and my colleagues started sneezing in unison The trick is to apply modestly and if possible give it a settling period Energising Body Oil 25 for 100ml 39 This can be applied directly onto your skin or you can add a few drops in the bath I tried both ways and preferred using it in the bath especially as I was using it in conjunction with the other products in the range The essential oils of sweet lime and green tea give that uplifting aroma and when I came out of my bath my skin felt moisturised and refreshed Energising Cooling Body Smoother 19 50 for 200ml 31 This is my favourite product of the whole range and in my opinion the best value for money It is a beautiful body serum enhanced with extracts of lemon peel apple and camellia It is a powder in water consistency created to keep your skin feeling smooth cool and dry however I can t say how long your body will keep dry especially in hot weather It smells delicious and was easily absorbed into my skin leaving it feeling smooth and not at all greasy It can be used on its own or over the body treatment spray The other products in the range are Energising Shower Gel and Body Lotion both infused with ingredients to refresh and tone the skin I very much enjoyed using this range and it did make me feel refreshed and energised I m not sure that I felt toned

tired and drawn irritated and red or tight and dehydrated basically not looking or feeling its best Hydra Zen Cream 19 50 30 81 for 30ml 25 39 50 for 50ml and Fluid 25 39 50 for 50ml is a new moisturiser with a de stressing treatment to soothe and intensely hydrate the skin It is available in two textures Gentle Cream for normal to dry skin and Fresh Fluid for normal or combination skin Just reading some of the ingredients rose petal ylang ylang and honey made me instantly want to try Hydra Zen For my combination skin I decided the Fresh Fluid was the best one for me to try When I squeezed a small amount of the fluid out of the bottle it looked like lotion but felt like a serum and then when I applied it to my face it felt wonderful My skin looked and felt refreshed and the floral fragrance although not strong added to the overall feel good factor The fluid seeped into my skin and at the same time left it feeling softly coated making a terrific base for applying my foundation My skin still felt soft and fresh for most of the day at work Something that should be noted is that Hydra Zen does not contain an SPF so perhaps for regular use of the product it would be better to use this in conjunction with a foundation or tinted moisturiser that does contain one If like me you find yourself reaching out for those anti ageing serums now and again you ll be glad to know that Hydra Zen works very well with them in helping to smooth lines and wrinkles I would definitely recommend giving Hydra Zen a try you only need a small amount per application so your 30ml or 50ml will go a long way Lancome counters in department stores are usually very willing to let you have samples before you buy I hope you enjoy using it as much as I do SHOP Get what you need plus save

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Lancome report by Alissa of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel This time of year always brings out the shine in my skin So I decided to take Contr le with Lanc me s Contr le skin care line for oily skin I tried three products in the line a cleanser toner and a mattifier Here are my results Pur Contr le Deep Purifying Cleansing Foam 4 1 oz 18 00 This cleanser is similar to L Or al s Shine Control Foaming Cleanser but I liked this product better If you can take the extremely strong fragrance think floral to the max then you will like this cleanser from Lanc me The pearliscent cream turns foamy and leaves the skin squeaky clean Be forewarned however that this cleanser is not oil free believe it or not The one plus is that I have used this product for a week and my skin has not broken out soybean oil is the second to last ingredient on the list This is a good summer cleanser for those who have shine at this time of year or for those who have a heavy shine problem all year round Like I said before the major drawback is the overwhelming fragrance If you are sensitive to heavy fragrances skip this otherwise give this cleanser a try Tonique Contr le Mattifying and Purifying Toner with Mineral Powders 6 8 oz 18 50 Tonique Contr le was okay Nothing great but nothing bad This product is also not oil free but I did not have trouble with breakouts Unlike like a regular toner this one contains powder which is supposed to help keep shine at a minimum If you like this type of toner but don t want to spend the bucks try L Or al s Shine Control Toner It s almost an identical product I don t think Tonique Contr le helped to keep my shine under control any better than any other toner I have used Let s just say I wouldn t buy this again T Contr le Instant T Zone Mattifier Oil Free Powder Gel 1 0 oz 22 50 Yes it is oil free This is a great product The gel like consistency turns into a powder when you rub into your skin The mattifier kept my skin matte without drying it out You can use this product alone or under makeup It didn t interfere with my makeup and kept me shine free for a good eight hours no need for touch ups I would highly recommend this product if you are looking for an oil free lightweight product to keep shine at bay Of all three products tested this powder gel was the best and the one I would purchase

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Lancome report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Since starting Cosmetic Connection and The Cosmetic Report I can hardly remember what it s like to have a regular skin care routine Trying so many different products means a different routine from week to week My last attempt to have something regular Origins skin care pair for sensitive skin ended up getting returned because the products started to dry my face out I recently gave it another shot with products from Lancome designed for normal to dry sensitive skin I ve found that after trying so many different cleansers and toners from a variety of lines my decision to buy or not to buy really comes down to personal preference Just like many other cleansers Lancome s Galatee Douceur worked well to remove all my makeup it dissolved mascara very quickly without rubbing and left my face feeling soft and clean It is a milky cream formula best for someone with dry patches or an overall dry skin The Tonique Douceur was also similar to many other alcohol free toners I ve tried It has a slightly sweet floral fragrance and it would probably be good for any skin type unless you are very oily and are looking for something more astringent In addition to trying the basic cleanser and toner I also tested Lancome s Bienfait Total SPF 15 lotion and their new Primordiale Yeux Visibly Revitalizing Eye Treatment for 12 days After using both products I ve been really happy with Bienfait Total It is a lightweight lotion with a good daily sunscreen that I ve found is a great transition product for spring from heavier winter creams Since it is lightweight I can use it all over my face without my forehead or chin getting shiny but it is still moisturizing enough for my cheeks My skin is going back to combination normal cheeks and slightly oily T zone a sure sign of spring Primordiale Yeux however did not impress me I m really not convinced that it has done anything to change the fine lines and beginning wrinkles around my eyes For that matter I m not convinced that any eye cream can really do that This one from Lancome is a fine moisturizer for the eye area but that s about it If you can get a sample try it just for fun but it s really not worth 40 More Product Reviews Definicils mascara in Porto new for Fall 1997 16 The first mascara I ever tried that was more than 5 a tube was Bobbi Brown the second was Lancome While the Definicils is a nice product I m still not convinced that 16 is buying me a better product This fall s new color Porto is a pretty plum that looks natural but contemporary on dark lashes colorful but sophisticated on blonde lashes Should you run out and buy it Check your drugstore first I found Maybelline s Volum Express mascara in Berry Brown to work just as well for under 5 Teint Idole foundation 32 50 Teint Idole is another member of the so called long wearing makeup family After testing Teint Idole for just one day I knew I didn t like it The color was all wrong the salesperson gave me a sample of Porcelain D Ivoire which was way too yellow for me it was hard to blend it smelled like housepaint it wore off of my forehead and cheeks by mid afternoon and it made my chin break out in tiny little blackheads All this misery for a whopping 32 50 So much for long wearing too even my regular foundations wear better and last longer than this If you are curious about this product for yourself try a sample and see what you think As for me you couldn t pay me to put this stuff on my face again Apres Soleil After Sun Tan Prolonger Refreshing Gel 25 When I was first toying with the idea of trying a self tanning product the salesperson at the Lancome counter suggested I start with something subtle This after sun lotion has a small amount of self tanner in it giving very subtle color that is perfect for someone who is tan shy or just extremely pale Since the color isn t highly visible you don t have to worry about streaking or dark spots Re Source Drenching Body Spray 25 00 This is a great new alternative to heavy body lotions A quick spray moisturizes and cools the skin leaving behind a terrific light floral fragrance Perfect after a shower or bath or after being out in the sun all day to relieve sun tired skin Eau de Bienfait 2 in 1 cleanser and toner For those of us who don t wear very much makeup Eau de Bienfait is a great alternative to complicated and time consuming cleansing routines Just moisten a cotton pad gently wipe off your makeup and you re done Eau de Bienfait feels wonderfully cool and refreshing and it s alcohol free SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS La Mer report by Lisa L of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Hello fellow cosmetic junkies Hope your holidays were happy and safe To my delight I found that I had made Santa s very good list as some fabulous La Mer products found their way under my tree For those of you who don t know the story here s the short version Cr me De La Mer was invented by Max Huber a Nasa scientist who was badly burned in an experiment gone wrong After countless hours of research and thousands of experiments he created a special cream that radically improved the appearance of his scarred skin Be warned this is one of the most expensive lines available Apparently each batch must be made in small quantities and fermented for months thus producing shortages and mass panic among cranky socialites One ounce of the original cream is 85 with other items in the line of comparable cost Are they worth it Read on and find out Cr me de La Mer 85 for one ounce This is the original a very very rich cream that has to be warmed between the fingers it breaks down the texture and makes it easy to apply and patted onto perfectly dry skin A dime sized amount is plenty for your whole face and part of your neck While this formula was too rich for my combination skin I was pleasantly surprised to find that it makes the perfect eye cream The skin under my eyes became noticeably smoother and more supple I was also amazed to find that it diminished my dark circles as well as strengthened and nourished my eyelashes I thought I was going crazy but another CC reader confirmed that this was her experience too I don t know how it works but thank the celestial power of your choice that it does When used as an eye cream this jar is actually a good value and well worth the price I m completely hooked The Cleansing Gel 65 for 6 7 ounces This cleansing gel is incredibly gentle yet it thoroughly removes all traces of makeup dirt and sebum You definitely don t need a toner The thing that makes this cleanser special is that it seems to leave the acid mantle on your skin completely intact Skin feels squeaky clean yet soft and hydrated I love the stuff but felt it was just too expensive when Origin s Mint Wash is almost exactly the same product and costs only 14 for the same amount If you ve got the cash the La Mer gel is a nice splurge but consider the Mint Wash if you re a diva on a budget The Face Serum 175 for one ounce This item really wowed me and has become my favorite La Mer product The serum is the fermented broth that is added to the cream Comprised of marine proteins enzymes minerals and a secret lime thing according to the experts at Bliss Spa this elixir smoothes your skin clears up blemishes and makes your complexion glow like a child s You only use 5 6 drops for your whole face so an ounce will last a good long time You apply the serum under the moisturizer for maximum benefit and the results are clearly evident after only a couple of days My skin continues to thank me by producing less oil and glowing like crazy Oil Absorbing Lotion 135 for 1 7 ounces This lotion is perfect for combination and oily skinned individuals like myself In winter I can use a slightly richer lotion but this will be my top pick for the other 3 4 of the year This oil free formula soaks up excess sebum and keeps your face matte and fresh for hours Applied in the morning you won t need to touch up with powder until late afternoon This lotion also smoothes your skin and fights breakouts as well as little lines Another winner The Body Lotion 135 for 6 7 ounces This was the only La Mer product that didn t completely knock my socks off It is a nice lotion to be sure but I didn t find it lasted long enough to skip a day as they claimed It smells nice and moisturizes well but for this price you want it to be the best by a mile Sorry it isn t I prefer Alpha Hydrox Silk Wrap lotion which makes skin amazingly soft with even texture and tone with a mixture of 10 alpha hydroxy acids and vitamins At 11 for 10 ounces it s an affordable product with results that suggest a much higher price review 01 00 SHOP Get what you need plus save

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS La Mer Eye Balm report by Nava of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Anyone who has read my previous review of La Mer products knows how I feel about them I am definitely a person who will spend money if I know I am buying quality Despite that I amazed myself by spending 95 on a half ounce jar of eye cream I ve yet to admit this to anyone who knows me so please don t say anything During my monthly perusal of the fashion mags I noticed La Mer s Eye Balm made the list of the top 100 products in the October issue of Harper s Bazaar One editor claimed it melted away a ten year old scar and another said it shrunk a blemish After scratching my head repeatedly I wondered Had I truly found Hope in a Jar Well not quite After procuring the elusive Eye Balm from Blissout I m sorry to report it is just another expensive eye cream Does it keep your eye area smooth and moisturized Yes Is it greaseless and sink right into your skin Yes Does it diminish dark circles Yes At least it did mine Will your mascara creep down your cheeks if you wear it under makeup No And finally the 95 Question Is it worth it Absolutely not I so wanted to believe this product would be as amazing as the Face Serum and Oil Absorbing Lotion But unfortunately it is not Hey it s just eye cream It supposedly contains three times the active La Mer ingredients but it s just not that spectacular As with the La Mer cleansers and toners cheaper comparable versions can be had Suggestions Origins Eye Doctor at 25 for a half ounce pot or Remede Eyebright at 52 for a one ounce pot Those are my eye creams of choice Happy Shopping review 11 05 99 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS La Mer report by Nava of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Buyer beware La Mer is one of the most expensive department store lines out there Here s what you ll pay for the basics Original Creme de La Mer 1 oz jar 85 considered a travel size 2 oz jar 155 16 oz jar 1 000 Cleansing Gel Lotion 65 each for 6 7 oz bottles Tonic Oil Absorbing Tonic 60 each for 6 7 oz bottles Moisturizing or Oil Absorbing Lotions 135 each for 1 7 oz bottles There s also a Face Serum for 175 1 oz and a new Face Mist for 75 6 7 oz bottle Here s what I ve tried My first experience with the original Creme came via some sample packettes I received with a catalog order from Bliss Spa The texture of the creme is very rich and moisturizing too much for my oily combination skin I took the plunge and tried the Oil Absorbing Lotion instead Used along with a favorite cleanser from another line the lotion proved to be a good fit for me It gave me needed moisture and managed to keep me shine free practically all day I was hooked From there I decided to try the Cleansing Gel and Oil Absorbing Tonic I was excited about these products because they are packaged in sturdy plastic bottles that travel well an important feature for me when I purchased them What I discovered upon using them was that for their prices there was really nothing special about them La Mer s Cleansing Gel is almost identical to Origins Mint Wash a perennial favorite of mine Don t get me wrong it smells great and does a fantastic job cleaning my face of dirt oil and make up But for those of us who are not multimillionaires a cleanser of this caliber can be had for a much cheaper price Save your money on this one I was equally disappointed in the Oil Absorbing Tonic I really should have known better This is an irritating alcohol based concoction that you have to shake up in order to incorporate the powder settled at the bottom of the bottle It burned my skin and was not soothing as it claimed Any good cleanser will clean your skin sufficiently of dirt and make up making the use of a toner an unnecessary step If you must use a toner stick with something alcohol free and less expensive The most surprising La Mer product is their Face Serum I received a generous sample at Saks Fifth Avenue when I purchased the Cleansing Gel and Oil Absorbing Tonic The sales associate instructed me to use 3 4 drops after the Tonic and before the Oil Absorbing Lotion Used in conjunction with the Oil Absorbing Lotion the Serum did wonders for me Used at night I would wake up smooth even toned and noticeably less oily After siphoning out every last drop of the sample vials I was given I had no qualms about spending the 175 for the full size bottle of the Face Serum That and the Oil Absorbing Lotion have become my skin care staples You can purchase La Mer products via mail order from Bliss Spa or at Neiman Marcus Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue stores As an aside it is baffling to me that some branches of Neiman s and Saks choose to display the products in a jumble on tables instead of behind counters as with other cosmetic skin care lines Given the prices I should think they d want them kept under lock and key Happy shopping review 7 99 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Stephen Knoll report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Since cutting my hair relatively short while I was pregnant I had stopped reviewing hair care products because basically anything worked on my no frills style Well after months of brooding over my hormonally darkened hair I finally took the plunge and got highlights I am so glad I did it and my husband even asked Are you going to go lighter next time I m now back to some semblance of my original blonde rather than that dirty dishwater color but the coloring process made me more aware of what I was putting on my hair Thankfully I discovered a line of hair care products recently that work great on my newly color treated hair Stephen Knoll is apparently a well known colorist in New York City but I ve never been there A close friend got me these products and I have been happily using them for the last month or so Stephen Knoll Clean Daily Wash for Normal Hair 14 50 for 8 ounces Gentle cleansing agents together with kelp extract aloe vera gel panthenol vitamin E vitamin A and a touch of menthol and camphor make this a refreshing and effective shampoo for every day It is low lathering so don t expect a mountain of suds or use a whole handful trying to get lots of bubbles it just won t happen and you ll waste a perfectly good shampoo Stephen Knoll Totally Amazing Transforming Spray 26 50 for 8 ounces I love this spray I was skeptical at first at its lofty transforming claims but it really does make my frizz prone difficult to control hair softer and more relaxed I used to use straighteners and sticky gels on my hair just to get it to stay smooth and straight now all I use is this and a little Alterna shine cream It s not a gel or a hairspray but a blend of plant extracts and essential oils the chamomile and nettle extracts panthenol vitamins E and A biotin and lavender chamomile and tangerine essential oils must be doing something right Stephen Knoll Obedient Sculpting Gel 13 50 for 6 ounces Unlike the aforementioned Transforming Spray this gel is fairly standard and nothing to write home about It contains PVP a hairspray ingredient dimethicone to smooth and chamomile nettle quince and kelp extracts It does give nice control with just a pea sized dab but it s a bit sticky and stiff for my taste Stephen Knoll s salon is located at 625 Madison Ave in New York City phone 212 421 0100 You ll find these products as well as some rather expensive hair services like 225 highlights You can also buy online from Drugstore com review 8 99

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS KMS Ultra Pack Reconstructor report by Tracey of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel At first I was leery of this product believing that it was just another conditioning product that would make my oily hair oilier After using KMS Ultra Volume Shampoo I opened the sample package of reconstructor The aroma was very strong something like a vanilla candle The color was beige and the consistency was very thick and smooth I resolved since my hair was oily and fine that I would only use half of the sample package The small amount that I used was just fine for my hair I was able to cover my head with just a nickel size amount of the product I went ahead and took a quick bath while the reconstructor sat on my hair for 3 5 min I was surprised when I rinsed that my hair didn t feel like an oil slick but rinsed out fairly easily It felt soft and tangle free but not slick like some conditioners do I blow dried my hair on a cool to warm setting and was pleasantly surprised by the shine and the body that was in my hair The true test would be when I woke up in the morning Would my hair be dark and greasy looking or look more like it did the night before I got up at 6 00 am and got started with my daily routine of face cleansing and toning I was amazed to see that my hair still was full of body and shine With some quick curls and a spritz of hair spray I was off shuttling the kids to school My hair amazingly went through the day without loosing its bounce This product prices at 9 95 for 4 oz and recommended usage is once a week I would give this product a thumbs up As for the smell I m not a big fan of vanilla but the odor doesn t linger Unless of course you find yourself in the middle of a rain storm then you might get a lingering whiff of it For more information I would also recommend that you contact the KMS online web site at http www kmshaircare com I inquired about getting some samples of their products and they sent me a most generous supply of their products for my approval Please do send details of your hair type so they may send the appropriate products I had a few problems finding the product though and I ended up calling KMS at 1 800 798 9356 for a distributor in my area I eventually found the product at a local Supercuts SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS KMS Haircare report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Even testing new products as often as I do hasn t stopped me from becoming brand loyal from time to time If it works why change right I ve been using Aveda hair care products for years after trying a friend s Rosemary Mint conditioner in college and loving it Lately though my hair hasn t been responding as well and it s still just as dry and frizzy as ever I decided to stray and try KMS Haircare another salon brand that is easier to find and a bit less expensive I started with their Moisturizing Shampoo 6 for 8 ounces and Silker Reconstructor 8 for 8 ounces and now I think I have a new brand The Moisturizing Shampoo left my hair clean soft and actually comb able then adding the Silker Reconstructor made all the difference This daily detangling conditioner made my hair soft and touchable again without weighing it down To add a little control and soften those frizzies I finished with Flat Out Relaxing Balm 17 for 6 ounces and was amazed at how well it worked Just working a little through my towel dried hair made it instantly straighter I didn t have to tug at it with a brush as I dried it to keep it straight and the final style was smooth and soft not stiff or sticky If you have wavy or even curly hair that you d like to try straighter this is one straightening balm that actually works When it comes to dealing with my hair the less I have to do to it the better I want softness and volume without complicated blowdrying techniques or three or four individual products for volume shine and hold After discovering KMS recently I decided to put their AMP Volume line of shampoo 6 50 reconstructor 8 50 and styling foam 8 96 to the test with my fine dry flyaway hair Made with Amino acids Magnesium and Panthenol hence the name AMP these products are supposed to add substantial volume to fine hair without weighing it down While I found that they really do give fine hair a lift the compromise is hair that is a bit stiff and almost gritty like the hair is heavily coated What this added texture is great for however is involved hair styles like french twists ponytails and up do s that fine hair can often slip out of for someone with fine hair that is often unmanageable being able to actually style the hair is a fair trade for a little stickiness For more

had much luck with these products in the past I use a couple of the products in the summer when my skin is more normal to oily I m a huge fan of Kiehl s and of their policy which is to always sample the products before buying to make sure you have the right products for your skin I always try to visit the mobbed store in NYC when I m in town and can always count on friendly helpful service Since I have been traveling quite a bit the past 2 months my skin which is usually normal to dry in the winter has become quite dehydrated as well Although there are a couple of stores that sell Kiehl s products in the Washington D C area I decided to call Kiehl s at their 1 800 Kiehls 1 phone number to speak to a consultant about the recommended products for my skin I then went to a boutique type store that stocks the Kiehl s line to get my samples The products recommended for my skin were Kiehl s Gentle Foaming Cleanser Kiehl s Calendula Toner Kiehl s Ultra Facial Moisturizer SPF13 for daytime Kiehl s Panthenol Protein Moisturizing Face Cream for night Kiehl s Imperiale Repairateur Treatment Line Formula Moisturizing Masque a couple times per week at night Kiehl s Gentle Foaming Facial Cleaner This cleanser is recommended for Dry to Normal and Sensitive skin types It is a creamy cleanser designed to be rinsed off The directions on the bottle also say to remove all residual cleanser with a washcloth It is indeed a creamy cleanser that I found very soothing to my dehydrated skin At night I used the cleanser by applying to a dry face in circular motions and then rinsed and used a washcloth very gently to remove leftover cleanser which ended up not being much It also seemed to remove my makeup without a problem In the morning I did not remove it with a washcloth I found this cleanser to be so wonderful for my normal to dry dehydrated skin I noticed immediately a difference in my skin s look and feel I actually purchased this product and highly recommend giving it a try Kiehl s Calendula Herbal Extract Toner Alcohol Free I usually go through phases of using and not using a toner This toner was very gentle on my skin without any irritation however I felt this product wasn t that different than many of the other non alcoholic toners on the market The price was a different story costing 19 95 for only 4oz Kiehl s Ultra Facial Moisturizer SPF 13 This is a great lightweight moisturizer with a sunscreen Even though my skin is on the dry side in the winter I always have a problem with daytime is moisturizer went on very lightly but once on the skin felt very moisturizing I have successfully used this product now for 4 days without breaking out and would recommend checking this one out My only beef with this product is an SPF 13 rating why not SPF 15 which is usually the recommended SPF for daytime use Kiehl s Panthenol Protein Moisturizing Facial Cream Since I have been using a AHA product faithfully at night for the past few weeks I decided to use this Kiehl s product over the top I applied my AHA waited 20 minutes and then applied the Kiehl s product The Panthenol Moisturizer is a very emollient and heavy feeling moisturizer which would be great for someone with dry skin This product really helped my dehydrated skin but I think it would be too heavy for everyday use after my skin gets back to its normal self Kiehl s Imperial Repairateur Treatment Formula Moisturizing Masque I used this product three times alternating with the Panthenol Moisturizer It is recommended to use as a masque apply and tissue off any excess The Kiehl s consultant told me instead to try it as a night moisturizer since my skin was so dehydrated It was light going on but very very emollient and felt a little greasy after about 20 minutes However this product did not break my skin out and definitely made an immediate difference in my skin s dry flaky appearance I would consider buying this product to use maybe once a week in the winter as a hydrating masque After using these products I really have noticed a big change in my skin It is no longer flaky and definitely not as dehydrated My skin is also surprisingly clear of breakouts even with using such emollient products There are so many Kiehl s products that you definitely need to talk to a representative before making a purchase Also make sure to sample the products first which is actually Kiehl s policy When ordering a product from Kiehl s you can also request samples of any of their other products SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Jurlique Skin Care report by Nava of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Jurlique is an Australian company that claims to make the Purest Skin Care Products on Earth They contain only natural herbal substances Jurlique leaves out all synthetic chemicals fragrances preservatives and pollutants They even grow their own ingredients Their product ingredient listings read like a juice bar menu at a health food store I d never had much success with lines that claim to be all natural Something always wound up causing me irritation or they were just plain ineffective During one of my virtual shopping trips to my usual website haunts I found Jurlique The prices of the individual products can be quite expensive but I found their Ritual Kit for Oily Skin at Beautyhabit com for 56 00 It contained trial sizes of the following products Lemon Lime Aromatic Hydrating Concentrate Jurlique s AHC s are tiny bottles of water soluble herbal and essential oils They are highly concentrated and must be diluted in water Before using a cleanser you re supposed to soak your face with a wet washcloth using water mixed with 3 5 drops of the oil This will prepare your face for deep purification According to Jurlique s information pamphlet this soaking step loosens build up of dead skin cells and waste materials I did this routine a few times but I find it too cumbersome to perform on a daily basis Instead I ll do the soaking step 2 3 times a week Tea Tree Lavender Foaming Facial Cleanser A nondrying cleanser suitable for all skin types but recommended for oily acne prone skin It doesn t foam up too much but it does a great job removing make up My face felt very clean and soft after using it Face Wash Cream Take care not to leave your tube of Face Wash Cream in the kitchen Someone may mistake it for chunky peanut butter and use it to make a sandwich This is Jurlique s exfoliating cleanser meant to be used after soaking your face I like to use it on its own after washing with the Tea Tree Lavender cleanser Sometimes if I m feeling lazy I ll mix the two together The first two ingredients in Face Wash Cream are almonds and oat bran It really does look like peanut butter I like this product because it exfoliates effectively without feeling like it s ripping the skin off your face Cleansing Lotion A tester packet was included in the Ritual Kit This cleanser is a light lotion meant for make up removal The packet really did not contain enough product for me to cleanse my face effectively so I wound up mixing it with the Tea Tree Lavender Cleanser The combination of the two cleansers effectively removed all my mascara and left my face feeling very clean but not dry or tight Day Care Conditioner A fragrant alcohol free toner Feels very refreshing after cleansing Don t let the name restrict its use to daytime I like to use it at night One of the first few ingredients is Calendula which makes this toner suitable for oily skin Day Care Face Lotion A light easily absorbed daytime moisturizer I ve only used this in cold weather under make up and it keeps my face soft and relatively shine free I think this product would be too rich for oily skin in warmer climates Herbal Recovery Gel A small packet was also included in the Ritual Kit This is high in antioxidants Oily skins can use it alone as a moisturizer If your skin is drier Jurlique recommends the use of an additional moisturizer following application of this product The packet contains enough for about three applications I used it once under make up with good results and twice at night after cleansing My skin felt soft and not at all greasy I purchased a 1 oz bottle from Beautyhabit for 56 00 The Ritual Kit was a good introduction to Jurlique s extensive line I was very impressed with the products I tried So much so that I decided to try a few more items based on their descriptions Here s what I recommend Eye Gel 60 00 for 53 oz bottle I know this is pricey for only slightly more than a half ounce of product but you only need a tiny bit It s packaged in a glass bottle with a pump Even a half pump worth of this gel is too much This is great for circles and puffiness and feels very soothing Jurlique s Eye Gel is fast becoming one of my favorites OP Oily Problem Herbal Recovery Mist 40 00 for a 1 oz bottle Jurlique s Herbal Recovery Mists are meant to be used at night in place of heavy night creams to balance your skin s deficiencies They are sprayed on in place of a toner Used at night under the Herbal Recovery Gel my skin was smooth and not at all oily the next morning There are also Ageless Delicate Sensitive and Moisture Depleted formulas available Lip Care Balm 18 00 for a 3 oz tube Given my propensity to try any and all lip products I couldn t pass this up I was very disappointed in this lip balm It starts to feel a little grainy soon after applying it and then wears off quickly I d have felt even worse if I bought the 1 ounce jar for 58 Save your money Blemish Cream 22 00 for a 3 oz tube Another disappointment I ve come to the conclusion that for me nothing beats Mario Badescu Drying Lotion and Joey New York Chin Breakout Relief Lavender Silk Dust 22 00 for a 35 oz bottle I ve saved the best for last This is quite possibly perfection in a loose powder Totally colorless and packaged in a glass bottle this powder erases midday shine and keeps it away Just shake little into your palm and fluff on with a brush This powder won t cake build up or streak Jurlique is available online at Beautyhabit com Dots2 com and Scarlettcos com You can also surf Jurlique s website jurlique com and purchase products directly from them Oddly enough Beautyhabit com has the best selection Happy Shopping review 01 00

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Joey New York report by Aina of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel When I lived in New York City I loved going to stores like Sephora and spending the day testing and trying all the cosmetics brands I never thought I d ever have access to Then I moved to New Jersey where my weekends are now filled with shopping at Target or CVS to find my skincare and cosmetic products My saving grace has been the Internet Now I don t have to take a special trip into the city for a cosmetics shopping spree I can do it right from home and get most of the same products I looked for in the city One of the brands I had always been curious about is Joey New York They seem to have a wide variety of products for all types of skin so when I got the opportunity to try a few I jumped right on it Double Stuff Day Night Moisturizers 38 I really liked the idea of these creams You can stack them on top of each other or use them separately I brought the day cream to the gym to keep in my locker The night cream stayed at home The night cream was my favorite It contains red algae and the scent was amazing It was just what I needed to get my skin through the driest winter of my life The only part of my face that was shiny in the morning was my nose and that s always shiny The day cream has an SPF of 30 which is great but it left my skin looking very gray and wasn t quite enough moisture for my skin to make it through the day Pure Pores Roll on Blemish Fix 18 I d never heard of a product like this before but I found it quite interesting I used it in the morning after washing my face and again at night for a few days and just didn t see enough of a difference to stick with it It had a real medicinal smell to it and you could feel it tingle for moments afterwards especially if you use it near the eye area Unfortunately my skin and salicylic acid the active ingredient here don t go together and I think someone else would have better luck with this blemish treatment All in all I think it s a cute convenient idea that might work well for someone without a sensitivity to salicylic acid You can find Joey New York

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Joey New York report by Nava of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Please indulge me in a little stereotypical humor I grew up in Brooklyn and now live on Long Island so I can t resist Could Joey Buttafuoco be mixing up the products in his basement Or maybe Joey and Vinnie from Bensonhurst cook them up at their pizzeria on 86th Street Thank you I feel much better Now on to the subject at hand Joey New York Skincare Great stuff Here s what I ve tried Pure Pores Cleansing Gel with Vitamin C 22 00 for an 8 oz bottle I love this cleanser It smells like fresh orange juice and has a gritty texture A tiny bit will clean all the makeup dirt and grime off your face It removed every trace of eye makeup and left my face soft and comfortable It does a nice job exfoliating and did not irritate my skin at all It is recommended for combination oily and acne skin types This cleanser will most likely be too harsh for those of you with drier skin Among the ingredients listed are Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil Lactic Acid Glycolic Acid Salicylic Acid Orange Grapefruit oils Pure Pores Vitamin Toner with Ginseng 16 00 for an 8 oz bottle This toner immediately gets a thumbs up because it contains no alcohol Although I do happen to really like it It is soothing and smells like fresh cucumbers It contains Ginseng Aloe Vera and Fennel extracts along with Vitamins A and C A great follow up to the Pure Pores Cleanser At this price treat yourself This is one toner that s worth it Pure Pores One Step Toner and Moisturizer 22 00 for an 8 oz bottle After a long day at work or a long night of partying reach for this product When your usual cleanser toner moisturizer ritual poses a monumental challenge wash up and follow with a cotton pad soaked in Pure Pores One Step Toner and Moisturizer Your face will thank you in the morning Or If you hit the snooze button five times more than normal the same rules apply It has Aloe Vera Juice Glycolic Acid Sodium PCA and botanical extracts It s a bit thicker than the Vitamin Toner and a great multipurpose product This product contains no alcohol Oil Free Moisturizer with Ginseng 12 00 for a 1 oz jar This moisturizer can almost make me forget about my La Mer just kidding Quick math question How many jars of Joey Oil Free Moisturizer can you buy for 135 00 Maybe I didn t get all the sarcasm out of my system after all This is a great basic oil free moisturizer that will not leave you greasy and uncomfortable Use it at night and wake up happy Use it under make up and it will not expedite shine I ve also noticed that my skin is less oily whenever I use it Contains Sodium PCA Linoleic Acid Vitamin F and botanicals Chin Breakout Relief 15 00 for a 1 oz bottle Heather I know you re waiting on pins and needles for this one Well it works Even though it s called Chin Breakout Relief you can use it anywhere blemishes pop up It says right on the bottle it is meant for monthly breakouts no further explanation needed and adult acne Post Accutane I usually fall victim to the monthly chin zits and this does a great job getting rid of them Chin Breakout Relief does have alcohol in it so please use it sparingly It also contains Salicylic Glycolic Lactic Malic Citric acids plus a bunch of weird sounding botanicals But hey it knows what to do when you introduce it to a blemish

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Joe Blasco report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Beyond the familiar drug and department store counter cosmetics there is a whole world of professional makeup industry lines that usually get overlooked by the average consumer Joe Blasco is one of those lines and this week I have the pleasure of bringing reviews of several of their products to you Not only are these products used in the industry by professional makeup artists but there is a Joe Blasco Make up Artist Training Center one in California and one in Florida where budding artists can learn everything they ve ever wanted to know about makeup And now on to the reviews Ultra Base high pigment cream makeup 16 I definitely had mixed feelings about this makeup The high concentration of pigment is great so you need less product to cover your face the color selection is fantastic the consistency is creamy light and easy to blend and the texture when first applied is smooth and flawless The downside I noticed every time I used it was noticeable oiliness and light smearing by mid day and I don t even have oily skin Even with generous amounts of loose powder I had a really hard time keeping the shine under control Ultra Fine Setting Powder 10 75 The texture and smoothness of this powder is great and I love the handy shaker container It sets your makeup nicely without looking overly powdery or cakey but it doesn t do much in terms of oil control If you have oily skin or a naturally shiny T zone this is not the powder for you Cream Blush 9 75 If you like cream blush rather than powder this one has a nice smooth texture and long lasting color The shade I got pastel rose is brighter than I expected but since it s a cream I can thin it out with a sponge and a little foundation Nothing remarkable but not bad Eye Color powder shadows 9 75 From barely there pearl to knock out turquoise you are sure to find something in this collection to suit your tastes and your coloring I had the best luck with neutral shades like taupe light charcoal gray and warm brown Like most quality shadows these last well through the day without fading or creasing Lipstick velvet 10 75 matte 11 75 Much like the eye shadows you can find just about any color in this collection of lipsticks from bright coral and their brights are really bright to muted brown and everything in between Personally I like the texture and staying power of the matte formula better than the slightly greasy feel of the velvet It stays on well and feels lightweight without overdrying or getting crumbly All in all I was a little under impressed by Joe Blasco products The foundation that I had heard fellow makeup artists rave about just didn t wow me and I found some of the color cosmetics to be nice but not outstanding and a bit on the bright side They do however make some nice brushes and sponges which I will review in an upcoming report and the prices are fairly reasonable If you d like more information about Joe Blasco products call 1 800 553 1580 Their website located at www joeblasco com is still under construction SHOP Get what you need plus save time and

you hesitate to wear foundation because it takes too much time or effort or if you have sensitive or breakout prone skin that reacts to most liquid or cream makeup loose mineral powders like this one from Jerome Alexander are a great alternative In the loose mineral makeup category there are several brands to choose from and they all have roughly the same ingredients in a slightly different order Bare Minerals from Bare Escentuals mica iron oxides micronized titanium dioxide bismuth oxychloride Jerome Alexander mica bismuth oxychloride titanium dioxide and iron oxides La Bella Donna micronized titanium dioxide bismuth oxychloride zinc oxide iron oxide Youngblood titanium dioxide bismuth oxychloride mica iron oxides For most people these are ingredients that don t clog pores or irritate sensitive skin I ve tried several brands myself including Youngblood La Bella Donna Origins and Philosophy and I like Jerome Alexander the best It has very little shine does not cake or settle into fine lines and I think it feels the lightest on my skin Surprisingly I also found the best color match for me with JA and it comes in only three colors light medium and dark I can apply it with a loose powder brush for soft light to medium coverage and use the enclosed sponge to add a little extra to areas that need more attention All in all this is a great product at a great price You can find Jerome Alexander products online on the Home Shopping Network You can also find this foundation for around 10 on occasion at firstauction com which is where I got mine review 2 00 SHOP Get what

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Jafra report by Gayle of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I am addicted to the Internet and love to surf for freebies especially cosmetics I ve tried quite a few products lately that are worth talking about I received a Basic Skin Care Set from a Jafra distributor The Jafra line is sold only by distributors similar to companies like Avon Mary Kay and BeautiControl To learn more about this company its products and to locate a distributor check out www jafra com Jafra Cleansing Lotion for dry to normal skin 13 00 this creamy cleanser did a good job of removing makeup and any impurities from my skin My skin felt soft and not tight Jafra Skin Freshener 13 50 this clear toner was a nice complement to the cleanser I soaked a cotton pad and ran it over my face The cotton pad was clean so I knew the cleanser did a good job It also has a nice fresh smell I do not believe it contains any alcohol Jafra Day Cream 15 50 this lightweight cream is a perfect makeup base It contains SPF 15 which is usually what I look for in a day cream My skin felt very soft after one use Jafra Night Cream 15 50 this cream is a bit heavier than the day cream but not greasy Overnight it does a nice job to keep the skin moisturized Jafra Refreshing Moisture Mask 13 00 I used this once a week This light green clay mask removed the dead skin cells and my skin felt great This mask was comparable to Tova s Cactine Mask Jafra Optimeyes Eye Treatment 19 00 5 fl oz what a wonderful product This eye treatment combines the lightness of a gel and the effectiveness of a cream Daily use promotes moisturization elasticity firmer skin and the reduction of dark circles I have used the Avon product that is similar to this but it really irritated my eyes Jafra s did not I will definitely buy this product Jafra Royal Jelly Milk Balm Moisture Lotion 60 00 1 fl oz now this product is definitely the cream of the crop This milky lotion contains royal jelly extract with rich emulsifiers that penetrate the top layers of the skin It softens the skin for up to 24 hours My skin felt like a million bucks It is oil and fragrance free too If you have dry skin and want a super moisturizer this is the one I did not receive an ingredient list with my samples but all the products are clinically allergy and dermatologist tested I had never heard of the Jafra line before but was very impressed with the products I did not experience any breakouts and all products are to be used sparingly The products are reasonally priced so you do get your money s worth SHOP Get what

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Interface report by Aina of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel After many requests I am happy to bring you a review of Interface Cosmetics After writing my first article on cosmetic lines for women of color I ve been getting requests and questions about Interface I know they are a fairly new company with products designed specifically for Women of Color As you may recall from my first article I don t usually seek out lines for women of color because of the dated tacky packaging and even more dated colors fuschia and orange and plum Oh my I m more than happy to say that Interface abolishes my pre conceived notions The packaging is modern blue black and gold The look of the counter intrigued me at first sight I had gone there a few times at two different places Macys where there is a counter and the Soho makeup mega store Sephora This store is a cosmetics junkies dream come true All of the products are so accessible you can play with everything They have stations of many of the higher end brands like Shu Uemura Prescriptives Christian Dior Lorac Urban Decay and Stila I could go on and on about this store but I digress I went to Macys a few times The first time the counter guy was really busy and there was a long line of customers so I decided to come back The second time I came it wasn t too busy I looked at the foundations and played with the lip colors They offer all the usual foundation formulas liquid creme to powder and stick in 15 colors ranging from Sand to Espresso I tried Free Weight oil free liquid foundation I liked Toasted Almond but the woman at the counter suggested the next lightest shade I went with the Toasted Almond and was happy with it The coverage is a bit heavier that my usual favorite Prescriptives Virtual Skin and it felt very nice on my skin I didn t break out from it at all and it didn t smudge or slide all over my face I don t like a lot of coverage but I felt comfortable with this medium coverage product There was also a product that I was very interested in called In the Mix 15 It a light tinted lotion in five shades for very oily skins You shake it a and apply with a cotton ball I had never seen anything like it but I did not try it because my skin is more combination than oily although lately my nose has got more oil than the Persian Gulf Upon first looking at the more than 35 shades of lipsticks 12 50 I wasn t overly impressed Their color selection was definitely a step above the other African American lines but I also found that a few of the modern colors were just unwearable For example Pewter a silver white shimmer I couldn t imagine where one would wear this except on Halloween There was also a dark blue shimmer the name I can t recall that I had the same opinion of Colors I did like included Berry Bare sheer color Hypnotic a creamy berry brown which I picked up and Crystalline I was told at Macys is their best seller I had mixed feelings about this one It was a great color in theory but it inspires that dark lip liner light lipstick thing I see many women doing and I m not a fan of that look I would use it over my favorite lipstick for a shimmery effect but not alone I also picked up Chilled Champagne a shimmery light pink I never thought I or any black woman for that matter could wear pink lipstick but since it s so popular now I figured I d jump on the bandwagon The color is suprisingly wearable on me but I need to get used to it I ll try it on the weekend when I feel a bit more daring A majority of the colors were a bit ordinary and many were in the same color family I couldn t tell which color was which I liked the colors but I couldn t understand why so many of their neutrals and browns looked so much alike For example Melt Down French Kiss and Earthly Delight all nice but not very distinct from one another Scattered among the 35 plus shades were those dreaded brights I hoped I wouldn t see bright classics reds and oranges but they were not nearly as dominant a force as lip colors of other lines I was glad to take note of that On another positive note the moisturizing matte lipstick is one of the best feeling lipsticks I ve ever tried Creamy smooth texture You don t even need lip balm underneath like I do with MAC And it feels great all day long I was in love I also checked out their Cheek It Out powder blush 12 I liked Henna but I thought the other 6 colors were too unnatural and bright The single eye colors 10 were very nice but the eye duos 13 50 were freakishly bright yellows and pinks and purples oh my and not my cup of tea I think Interface is a step in the right direction for Women of color Cosmetics I highly recommend their products as long as you choose your colors wisely

feel more empowered about what you re putting on your skin but it will help you learn what ingredients to look for and which ones to avoid The Lowdown on Ingredients Here s a handy guide to some of the basic ingredients you ll find in cleansers toners moisturizers and masks Remember when reading a cosmetic ingredient label that the ingredients are listed from most to least just like a packaged food label Sodium lauryl or laureth sulfate detergent cleanser that is effective but can be drying and irritating to your skin The laureth version is gentler but can still dry the skin Other similar cleansing agents are TEA lauryl sulfate Cocamide DEA Ammonium lauryl or laureth sulfate Magnesium laureth sulfate Sodium C14 16 olefin sulfate Triethanolamine Polyethylene glycol PEG gives an emollient feel or slip to a product like a cleanser or lotion Similar slip agents include Polysorbates Propylene glycol Polypropylene glycol Butylene glycol Hexylene glycol Isopropyl myristate may clog pores in some people Methylparaben a common preservative found in most cosmetics to guard against bacteria fungus yeast and mold Some people with especially sensitive skin may have reaction to these preservatives Other parabens include Propylparaben Butylparaben Ethylparaben Other preservatives that can be irritating to the skin are Imidazolidinyl urea Quaternium 15 and 2 bromo 2 nitropane 1 3 diol Glycerin an extremely common ingredient that attracts and binds water to the skin Check your labels for these other water binders Propylene glycol Polypropylene glycol Butylene glycol Hexylene glycol Caprylic capric lauric triglycerides Cyclomethicone Dimethicone Fatty acids like Stearic acid and Linoleic acid Hyaluronic acid a protein Sodium PCA found in all living cells helps to maintain water balance Collagen a protein that makes up the support structure of your skin Ceramide Elastin a protein that helps skin stay elastic Lecithin found naturally in eggs milk sunflower seeds soybeans and some vegetables Kaolin a white Chinese clay that helps to absorb oil on the surface of the skin It is common in clay based facial masks and cleansers but be aware that it may over dry your skin if it high on the product s ingredient list Another common clay which comes from volcanic ash and might also be in clay based masks or cleansers is Bentonite Squalane a nutrient rich oil present in human sebum that is also a natural anti bacterial and healer It spreads evenly and can penetrate deeper and more readily than most other oils Other moisturizing ingredients include Isopropyl palmitate Glyceryl stearate PEG 100 stearate Petrolatum Plant oils like avocado apricot peach kernel and sweet almond Thanks to What s in your Cosmetics by Aubrey Hampton Odonian Press 1995

years now many of them have really grown on me From the fun and flirty lip shine glosses to the soft and wearable collection of eye shadows and blushes Stila has definitely made its mark in my makeup bag When I heard the line was coming out with a new powder foundation I had to know more Stila s new Illuminating Powder Foundation with SPF 12 22 for the foundation itself plus 20 for the silver Stila girl refillable compact comes in 8 colors named from lightest to darkest according to wattage 10 watts is the lightest then 20 30 40 and so on up to 70 It s clever and fits with the product name illuminating but it would have been nice to have the same color names as the rest of their foundations a b c d Oh well After using this foundation for about a week and a half I had mixed feelings about it It is similar to a few other powder foundations I ve tried like MAC Studio Fix Aveda Dual Performance Creme Powder now called Dual Base minus Oil and Prescriptives Instant Face discontinued around the summer of 1998 here s how The texture is more silky rather than overly dry like Aveda The coverage is light to medium like Prescriptives The look is matte but not overly powdery like MAC Overall Illuminating Powder delivers light coverage with a smooth finish that works best for someone with not too oily not too dry skin and few imperfections to hide It doesn t need to be set with any other powder but if you are oily at all you may need to touch up with some blotting powder or tissues as the day wears on the foundation is not oil free Dry skin might not like the matte finish and it does make any flaky areas stand out This is truly a normal skin product and since my skin is anything but normal I doubt I would use it again For more information about Stila cosmetics you can contact

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Kiehl s report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel As many of you read in The Cosmetic Report I spent a terrific week in New York City checking out the department stores After a terrific visit to New York City last week I am pleased to now bring you the results of testing my many Kiehl s samples Rare Earth Oatmeal Milk Cleanser 1 Mild 10 50 for a 4 ounce bottle I was a little surprised when the Kiehl s rep in NYC recommended this cleanser for my skin All winter my skin had been normal to dry but now that spring is just about here my skin has been acting more combination slightly oily in the T zone and unfortunately prone to a few breakouts This cleanser is designed for normal to oily skin and contains kaolin and bentonite clays to help absorb oil It really works well on my skin without making it feel dried out which surprised me considering it contains clay I also like that it s a creamy consistency rather than something that lathers which can be stripping If you have combination or normal to oily skin this cleanser is a good choice that s a nice change from most cleansers that are more lather intensive Calendula Herbal Extract Toner 18 50 for a 4 ounce bottle Toners fall into two groups for me these days ones that feel good and ones that don t This one felt nice on my skin but when I checked my Kiehl s price list I couldn t believe they wanted 18 50 for a little 4 ounce bottle I mean this toner is nice and it does have whole flowers and herbs in it but I just can t justify paying over 4 50 an ounce for it I decided to investigate alternatives Cucumber Herbal Alcohol free Toner 8 50 for a 4 ounce bottle When I got back from NYC I decided after trying the Calendula toner that it would be nice to find one a little less expensive so I paid a visit to my local Kiehl s counter at Saks This Cucumber toner is soothing and it has a nice clean fragrance If you are looking for a basic non drying toner this one is a good choice and priced better at 8 50 for 4 ounces Don t let the label for dry and sensitive skin fool you it s good for any skin type Herbal Toner with Mixed Berries and Extracts 19 95 for an 8 ounce bottle Another after NYC purchase I decided on this toner for spring and summer when my skin is more normal to oily It s basically a tea of strawberry bayberry horse chestnut german chamomile dandelion elder lemongrass peppermint and myrrh extracts with aloe vera allantoin a healing agent and a few preservatives thrown in I like it for its slight astringent quality great for a slightly oily skin Ultra Facial Moisturizer 11 50 for a 2 ounce bottle Although my forehead nose and chin can get a little oily as we get closer to summer I still need a light moisturizer all over to protect and soothe my skin I really liked this moisturizer both the regular version and the one with SPF 13 sunscreen 14 50 for a 2 ounce bottle They are both lightweight and absorb quickly and they left my skin feeling incredibly soft and silky What I found fascinating is how this moisturizer provided the boost of moisture my skin needed in NYC when it was cold and windy just as well as it keeps my skin comfortable and soft in warmer temperatures Lip Balm 1 4 50 for a tube This lip balm is a Kiehl s must have The mix of plant oils vitamin E vitamin A aloe in a creamy base is great for moisturizing and protecting your lips even in the nastiest weather A great buy at 4 50 a tube All in all I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked all the Kiehl s products I tried If you are interested in find out out more about Kiehl s you can give them a call at 1 800 KIEHLS 1 or 1 800 KIEHLS 2 They are great at helping you choose the right products for your skin SHOP

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Helena Rubinstein Not Just Your Grandmother s Makeup Anymore report by Melinda of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel There must be some perverse Makeup God in the form of a sprite that visits me at night and whispers in my ear which new products to try out How else do you explain my stopping by Helena Rubinstein s counter in Selfridges The Consumer God maybe The famous lady may have passed on but the company is doing quite well HR have revamped their makeup and skincare lines they issue a glossy magazine like publication Reflections with reader makeovers etc and have introduced a loyalty club in which customers are issued a card which is then stamped according to how much they purchase per visit Once they have accumulated so many points they can cash them in for free gifts or hang on to them for the next big prize examples include a bath robe skin care samples and a nail manicure set Furthermore HR now have a mail order service in the UK Their Customer Care Line 01732 741 000 not only handles mail orders but general inquiries as well But on to the makeup HR Luminescent Finish Powder Foundation with sponge and mirrored compact is described on the box as being a luminous powder foundation I was somewhat dubious because the lightest shade was 02 Luminous Beige which didn t sound light enough for my complexion I tried it on my jawline and it seemed to disappear which is the sure sign of a good foundation match Unfortunately when I stepped into daylight it most definitely did not match Reader s Tip Make sure to view foundation in all lighting conditions before purchasing Despite my bad foundation match I would recommend HR s powder foundation for those who want good coverage easy application and no

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Heavy Duty report by Nava of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel TurboScrub body scrub 20 for 10 5 ounces Now that winter has arrived after a four year hiatus here on the East coast my skin couldn t be any drier or flakier It s been quite a challenge lately to keep the skin on my body moist and comfortable Oddly enough my face has followed suit by being especially dehydrated But that s another story altogether Heather was nice enough to send me some of Heavy Duty s Turbo Body Scrub It along with their Hand Cream has been a godsend during this long anticipated deep freeze It is clearly printed on the label that Turbo Body Scrub is Industrial Strength Believe me in this case the label is not lying Along with pumice this product contains walnut and apricot shells after water they are the first three ingredients In addition to these powerful exfoliators kiwi extract and aloe vera gel are included to soothe dry skin Essential oils of orange and peppermint provide a much needed wakeup call on these dreary winter mornings After using it in the shower Turbo Body Scrub left me feeling soft and scale free For best results follow up with your favorite body moisturizer HandGear hand cream 15 for a 3 5 ounce tube If dry cracked hands are a problem for you give Heavy Duty Hand Cream a try as well Its rich greaseless formula sinks in quickly and provides needed moisture to vulnerable hands Since I pay so much attention to my face it would be tantamount to treason to neglect my hands The 3 5 oz tube is very portable and you only need the tiniest bit I used to think nothing could sway me from my beloved Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream but Heavy Duty is a great alternative You can find the complete line of Heavy Duty

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Heavy Duty report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Tired of all the flowery girly smelling body products on the market these days Heavy Duty a new company from California has responded to women and men who are sick of smelling like a rose garden with their automotive approach to fragrance Hand Gear hand cream 15 for 3 5 ounce tube does a great job of softening your hands without a greasy afterfeel The fragrance does take some getting used to For more information or to order call 1 888 960 8900 or visit online soon at www heavydutyco com review 8 31 98 Heavy Duty body products This boutique line of body care products is popping up at all the major online beauty stores I first reviewed their HandGear hand cream back in Aug 1998 so I was excited to learn the line was doing well and expanding into some new products MotorWash shower gel 18 for 12 ounces I am a big fan of shower gel over soap and this one has a fresh citrus scent that is definitely worth waking up for I also like that you only need a small amount on a puff to work up a decent lather and it doesn t dry your skin AutoStrip shave cream 16 for 6 ounces I used to be a faithful shave cream user until I tried a drugstore brand that gave me a horrible rash Since then I ve just been using hair conditioner and suffering from less than great results ever since I am so glad to find AutoStrip It has a very silky airy texture and does a great job of conditioning the hair and creating just the right amount of slip for the razor so you don t get nicks or those annoying razor bumps My legs are much happier now BodyLube body lotion 22 for 8 ounces I like the texture of this lotion rich but not greasy and it does a great job of relieving dry skin but just like the Heavy Duty hand cream reviewed Aug 31 1998 the scent of this body lotion takes some getting used to Although it contains balm mint calendula sage and chamomile extracts it doesn t smell like any of those things to me it smells more like plastic If you prefer a floral or fruit scented lotion this isn t it For more information on Heavy Duty products it s available at gloss com eve com

and a fair complexion that is normal to dry sensitive and prone to hormonal acne on her cheeks and chin Heather looks best in cool colors and typically wears the lightest shade in most foundation brands F iguring out my favorite products was no easy task since I am almost always trying something new I finally came up with I consider my current ideal routine Morning I start my morning off with a thick application of Sage Gelloid Moisturizer Masque if my skin feels dry when I get up I let it soak in for 20 30 minutes In the shower I use Sage Extra Gentle Corrective Grains over the Gelloid that didn t absorb rinse then use Clairol Herbal Essences Fresh Foam Mild Facial Cleanser or Peter Thomas Roth Sensitive Skin Cleansing Gel I follow up with either Peter Thomas Roth Environmental Repair Hydrating Gel or Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Herbal Botanical Supplement as my first layer of moisturizer I then use a little more Sage Gelloid a dab of Peter Thomas Roth AHA Kojic Under Eye Brightener under each eye followed by a layer of either Sage SPF 25 sunblock or Reflect com sunscreen After all my moisturizer has absorbed I put on foundation Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup in Classic Porcelain Lorac Satin Makeup in M1 MAC Hyper Real in 100 Body Soul Two in One Face Powder in 2 and ILONA Realistic True to Skin Foundation in Real Ivory are a few favorites and whatever makeup I am testing or using for the season Evening My night time routine is a bit different from the morning one If my skin feels flaky or dull I first use my Sage Extra Gentle Corrective Grains then I cleanse with either Sage Extra Gentle Facial Shampoo or Tony Tina Herbal Cleanser I always wash with cold water not warm but cold and blot dry with a clean face towel For treatment I switch off between Sage Glycolic Acid Smoothing Cream 6 and Peter Thomas Roth Ultra Gentle Botanical Skin Brightening Gel Complex to exfoliate and help keep acne away I like the PTR Brightening Gel because it contains azaleic acid a naturally occurring acid comes from wheat that helps the skin to renew itself and helps kill the bacteria that causes acne I ve had no problems with it even with my sensitive skin If I have a breakout already I treat it with Sage Miracle Zit or Biore Blemish Bomb Just like in the morning I use the PTR eye cream and Sage Gelloid again at night Every week or so I also like to do a mask like 310 Banana Mint Face Mask LOVE this one smells good enough to eat Sage At Home Peel Astara Violet Flame Enzyme Mask or Astara Blue Flame Purification Mask Verdana Arial Helvetica

your hands with rubber gloves when cleaning working with chemicals or washing dishes and wear regular wool or cotton gloves or mittens when you are outside in the cold Treatment The best remedy for dry hands and nails I ve found is hand cream Apply an emollient cream to your hands and nails every chance you get working it into the nail bed and cuticles Your hands and nails need moisture to stay healthy and supple Even the most popular nailpolish style treatments don t work as well Here are a few of my favorite creams and nail treatments Philosophy handmade serious care for extremely rough

forth and please don t use your nails as a tool Follow these easy tips and you ll have healthier looking nails in no time Color Ever since nail polish revolutionaries Hard Candy and Urban Decay came on the scene with their then outrageous blues purples and greens nail polish has become more popular and more colorful than ever before On top of adding wild new colors to your nail polish choices these new brands also introduced to the mainstream often younger generation consumers the notion of paying 12 and more for a bottle of nail polish Do you really get better polish when you pay 12 for Hard Candy instead of 2 55 for Maybelline Ultimately no because out of all the brands I have tested they all perform pretty much the same If you subject your hands and nails to the stresses of everyday life most polishes regardless of price will last 2 3 days at the most without chipping or peeling As for color selection now that brands like Maybelline and Revlon have added more urban colors to their line up you have more choices than ever all at reasonable prices Here are a few colors and brands that are fun choices and my personal favorites Basecoat essential for protecting your nails and helping polish to adhere better Poshe 4 in 1 treatment base works best if you apply it every few days over your polish Pro10 Liquid Fiber Wrap great for nails that peel and split OPI Nail

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER OCTOBER 96 THE MANE EVENT Yikes Have you ever thought a new hair style could change your life It may sound dramatic but it happened to me For as long as I can remember my hair has been an issue for me When I was very young my parents kept my hair so short that people thought I was a little boy As I got older and my hair got longer my mom was convinced that straight hair was bad and curly hair was a must At about 11 years old I was subjected to my first perm What a disaster One of my mom s friends did it at her at home salon and let s just say I looked like a poodle for about six months after As I got older I took control of my own style experimenting with teasing curling irons gel and probably about a bazillion cans of Aqua Net hair spray To this day I am still amazed that I have any hair left When I went off to college I decided it had to end Spending 45 minutes every morning styling my hair was no longer cool I pledged to stop perming and let my hair grow long and hopefully straighter than it had been for years My motto about hair styles has always been It will always eventually grow out which was really true for me My hair did get straighter as it got longer but unfortunately it didn t look that much better I decided I needed a bigger change I needed a new style a new look At the very same time I was about to enter the real world just after college I considered it a perfect time for a change My boyfriend now husband and I were planning a month long driving trip from New York to California Our travels took us all around the South with a four day stop in New Orleans to visit a childhood friend Where is this bit of nostalgia going you may ask Well in New Orleans I changed my life with a hair cut I know that sounds terribly dramatic but I really felt that way My husband s friend s girlfriend worked at a hair salon in New Orleans What a perfect coicidence I saw it as fate and made an appointment As I watched the stylist cut and the hair fall to the floor it was actually liberating My long hair was like my past and I was freeing myself from it Many women make this kind of change when they get a job promotion or after they ve had children I enjoyed the change so much that I have made it a seasonal activity If you are looking for a change in your life have fun with your personal style After all you can always change it back

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Garden Botanika Skin Renewing line report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Garden Botanika has long been one of my favorite boutique skin care and makeup stores and it always seems like they are coming out with something new I recently tested their Skin Renewing skin care line with alpha hydroxy acids Here s what I thought of the products Gentle Foaming Cleanser 11 for 8 ounces Although the ingredients are different if you put this cleanser and Biore s non foaming gel cleanser in identical unmarked containers I doubt you could tell them apart The gel consistency and low lather qualities are extremely similar I like this cleanser but I think it could do without about 75 of its ingredients the main cleansers TEA lauryl sulfate and PEG 7 glyceryl cocoate do a fine job of cleansing the skin and even removing makeup but all the cleanser s plant extracts don t have time to do very much before you rinse them all away I recommend you look at this as just a nice basic cleanser Clarifying Toning Lotion 10 50 for 8 ounces My skin has a tendency toward clogged pores blackheads and pimples even though it s not particularly oily This toner and others like it that contain AHAs BHAs and or fruit acids of some kind always help keep my pores clear and minimize the number of blackheads I get on my nose and forehead This one has a mixture of different fruit acids is alcohol free always nice and leaves the skin feeling fresh not stripped AHA Treatment 25 for 3 4 ounces After using this lightweight lotion for about a month I d say the difference in my skin is very subtle Much like the fruit acid toner this fruit acid lotion helps keep pores clear but the keyword here is helps Unlike many other AHAs I ve tried this one does not contain glycolic or lactic acid per se two of the more well known and effective AHAs available GB uses bilberry sugar cane sugar maple orange and lemon extracts instead As a result I found the effects for my skin to be more minimal If you have very sensitive skin or are just weary of trying an AHA this one might be more your speed You can also add one of the moisturizers listed below to get more AHA benefits Balancing Creme 15 for 2 ounces Even though the label says for normal to oily skin I like this cream for all skin types It s lightweight oil free but still nicely emollient and gives the AHA Treatment above the extra boost it needs to make more of a difference for your skin Balancing Creme also contains SPF 8 sunscreen in the form of 2 ethylhexyl p methoxycinnamate and oxybenzone both UVB blockers Moisture Replenisher 15 for 2 ounces This cream is almost identical to the Balancing Creme above with the addition of sunflower oil squalene and a few other water binding ingredients to make it more moisturizing For dry skin this is a nice choice that is still lightweight and comfortable For more information on these and other Garden Botanika

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Garden Botanika Prefix Kit report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I ve always thought Garden Botanika is one of the better but lesser known boutique lines around They have some incredible skin care and bath goodies for really reasonable prices and now you can even order online http www gardenbotanika com With so many products to try I am beginning to steadily work my way through starting this week with their Prefix Kit 25 This collection of products are designed to improve your appearance before you apply your regular makeup Here s what you get Lash Primer This white paste y substance goes on before your mascara and would you believe it really helps It basically coats the lashes so your mascara has more to grab onto The before and after difference in thickness and length can be quite dramatic Lip Primer If you like BeneFit Lip Plump you ll like GB s version It s a light flesh colored concealer type product that creates an even surface for applying your lipstick You apply a small dab blend over your lips let it dry then apply lipstick This kind of product has never wow ed me Shadow Primer If you find your eyeshadow creeping into the crease of your lid or disappearing altogether by lunchtime you must try this shadow base Not only does it create a smooth even toned surface it also helps keep your shadow in place so it lasts longer without creasing or fading Lip Pumice I m having a hard time figuring out just how this stick works It s supposed to slough off dead skin from your lips but when I apply it all I get is a mess it s crumbly doesn t glide on easily and looks paste y I can t tell if I m supposed to leave it on wipe it off or what Yuk Clear Brow Gel For those of us with unruly brows clear brow gel is a beauty lifesaver Most work like hairspray to hold the hairs in place but this one didn t quite do the trick as well as other brands I ve tried Origins Trucco it just doesn t hold very well Corrector Sticks in Yellow and Green Using color correcting concealers is a personal choice kind of product either you love it or you don t While I know the techniques for using them I never bother because it takes too much work and just never seems to create the effect I want The yellow stick is designed to conceal dark undereyes circles yellow cancels out blue the color of most undereye circles but you ve got to put a regular skintone concealer over it to hide the stark yellow Why not save a step and use a good yellow based skintone concealer like Stila Bobbi Brown by itself The same goes for the green stick it cancels out redness from blemishes broken capillaries etc but you still need a regular concealer on top In its defense though if you have excessive redness that regular makeup just won t cover a green concealer like this is often the only way to get a truly flawless looking complexion I think you have to experiment with these types of concealers to see if they really do anything for you For more information about Garden Botanika check out the website at http www gardenbotanika com SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Garden Botanika report by Gayle of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I really got hooked on the products since I visited a Garden Botanika store a couple of years ago I shop there often and always come out with something new to try The prices are very reasonable and the quality of the products are excellent You can order a catalog at www gardenbotanika com or shop online I am also a Garden Club member which entitles me to 10 off all purchases all the time 20 off on all purchases made on the first Tuesday of each month and 30 on all purchases made 3 days before to 3 days after your birthday A low annual membership fee is required but well worth it if you shop there as much as I do Eyeshadow 8 50 The eyeshadows come in little pots with nice screw lids and the colors range from cool to warm Mattes and frosts are available I found the shadow to be long lasting and crease proof This is probably due to the mineral based pigments and various botanical extracts This shadow stays on unlike some others I have tried If you are looking for a good eyeshadow I really recommend this one Blush 9 50 The blush comes in a bigger pot with a screw top lid Cool and warm shades are available I like this blush because it is sheer and natural looking It sits well on foundation and also a bare face As with all powder blushes I have to reapply at noon because it has faded away Mascara 7 I really like this mascara It went on clean without clumps and did not streak smear or flake My lashes looked thicker and longer and it was easy to remove too It is safe for contact lens wearers I highly recommend this mascara Eye Pencil 6 50 The soft creamy eye pencils smudge easily They are available in basic colors like black brown grey etc and they coordinate with the eyeshadows They are long lasting and they sharpen very easily I think this is a very good eye pencil but I just wish it came in more colors Sheer Lip Crayon 7 50 If your lips are dry and chapped the sheer lip crayon is for you This big crayon brings moisture and color to the lips The colors are very sheer and not overpowering It works well over lipstick because it has a glossy effect I really like this product and have used quite a few of these The sheer lip crayon sharpens easily like all of the other Garden Botanika pencils I have used SHOP Get what you need plus

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Fresh report by Aina of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Walking into the Fresh Store in Soho is like walking into a huge garden Everything smells so good and the packaging is so attractive you can t help yourself you just start opening bottles and spraying stuff and rubbing creams anywhere skin is exposed on your body I have been curious about the Boston based company for quite some time I just didn t know where I could get the products When I heard they opened a store near my old neighborhood in New York I just had to go check the products out There are so many products to choose from more than 6 scent families of bath and body products a few facial skincare and haircare products scattered here and there and a new makeup line What more could a cosmetics lover ask for My absolute favorite group of scents is the SUGARbath collection The three scents are lemon lily and lychee I loved them all but especially the lemon I also loved the Hesperides scented products a nice citrus blend and the rose scented products were great These are not your grandma s rose scented products they have some pizzazz to them Here s what I bought tried liked and well Soy Face Cream 34 00 for 1 2 oz Anyone who has watched the news or read a women s magazine knows of the health benefits of soy It was only a matter of time before it ended up in our skincare This cream has soybean extract though its pretty far down on the list of ingredients if you ask me The second ingredient is shea butter they put this stuff in practically everything they make It also contains grape leaf extract camphor mallo extract and mango seed oil I m not sure what soy is supposed to do for your face but all this product is is a nice moisturizer with an SPF of 8 not much but since I haven t quite gotten into using SPF regularly I figure I m doing all right using at least that A large pea sized amount will moisturize your whole face It works great as a night cream or for the daytime It feels great though it kind of has a funny soy smell The cream didn t interfere with my makeup at all I wouldn t pay 34 bucks for it again but it s nice to treat yourself sometimes Fresh Make up There are three color families in their makeup collection Milk neutrals Honey browns and Jus reds I m not a fan of red lipstick and the Milk colors were too light for my tawny complexion so I chose from the Honey collection It was hard to really get my hands dirty and play with the colors because one of the sales people kept following me around There are 9 lipsticks per family two lipshines one base color pencil 14 and 3 to 4 nail colors per family My complaint about the lipshines is there was no selection I really wanted to like the Milk Chocolate shine lipshine but it was more orange than chocolate I really couldn t tell the difference between the Jus Cranberry shine and the Honey Amber shine The Milk shine is just a clear gloss Honey shine is a shimmery white gold color and the Jus shine is a shimmery white silver color Definitely not worth 14 00 There was nothing special about the lip colors either My favorite is Honey Ginger it went on smooth the color complimented my skin very well and it stayed on well too I just couldn t justify paying 17 for it when I m sure I have a similar color at home and I just paid 34 for the face cream It just wasn t worth it to me I really like some of the nail colors like 1 in the Milk collection Pollen in the Honey collection and pulp in the Jus Collection but I wouldn t pay 12 for them One cool new product they just came out with is the Eyeshines 16 each I really liked many of the 12 colors My favorite is Mission Fig but what I really liked was the sponge tip applicator No using your fingers and getting more product on your fingers than on your eyes I also found it easier to control how shiny you wanted your eyes to be by just wiping off the applicator before applying I should have put some powder on before using the eyeshine though because my oily eyelids let the makeup slide off my eyes With the right primer I m sure the eyeshines will stay put for you Fresh SUGARbath Lemon soap 8 I loved the smell of this soap so much I bought it Okay so I m a sucker I should ve known this was soap and no matter how much shea butter they put into it so it was still soap and very drying It rinsed off so squeaky clean that I felt dry almost right after I got out of the shower The next morning dry patches and flaky skin everywhere Milk Chocolate body lotion to the rescue Milk Chocolate Milk body lotion 21 I got a sample of this lotion I didn t think I would like the smell of chocolate on my skin and I was right This was a nice lotion but nothing special You re paying for the scent here Overall I think Fresh is a great company for bath and body stuff I want to try their shower gels and bath products in hopes that I won t dry out my skin like the soap did Although this wouldn t be my primary choice for makeup if you like neutrals reds and browns you might find something you like here There are two stores in Manhattan one on 80th and Madison and a location on Spring Street You can also

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Freeman Skin Vitamin C Skin Care report by Alissa of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Freeman Skin is a line of skin care products containing Vitamins C A E and B5 There is a strong emphasis on Vitamin C which you will notice on both the packaging and the strong citrusy fragrance The idea behind Freeman Skin is to give the skin a healthier younger looking appearance Great concept but unfortunately I was disappointed with most of their products I tried five of the seven products I didn t try the Self Tanner SPF8 or Anti Wrinkle Cream whose prices ranged from 5 99 8 99 Cleanser Toner 8fl oz This gel cleanser and toner in one did not remove all my makeup which is what I would expect from a product of this sort It did not overdry my skin which was a definite plus however I did notice my skin breaking out more than usual I don t know if this was because I had an adverse reaction to this product or if it was deep cleaning my skin Either way I don t like a cleanser that causes my skin to break out who does I would skip this cleanser and toner in one and use a good cleanser such as Bath and Body Works Face with a good toner if I felt my skin needed it Moisturizer SPF15 2 5 oz I like an oil free moisturizer that does double duty which this product does However if you wear moisturizer under your make up this is not one to use It left my skin looking greasy and interfered with my make up I did use it on its own with just powder and it worked fine I would recommend this product if you just want a basic inexpensive moisturizer that contains an SPF Pore Masque Clarifier 2 5 oz I liked this product and would recommend it to those of you who have oily skin This peel off mask has a glue like texture which may be frightening at first but will give the skin a healthy glow afterwards Another advantage this mask has over other masks is that it can be used daily However I would not recommend this product to those of you who have blemishes or highly sensitive skin Peel off masks are never a good idea for sensitive or blemished skin Nightly Serum 1fl oz I am not a big user of nightly creams or serums so I did not have any expectations about this product The Serum is lightweight but the heavy citrus fragrance is a turn off When I am trying to sleep at night the last thing I want is to smell like an orange I also did not notice any difference in my skin If you don t use night creams or serum I wouldn t start with this one If you use them don t try this one Eye Cream 5 oz This product is supposed to help with puffiness and dark circles but I didn t notice much of a change in my eyes I felt this product was too lightweight for me With my dark circles and puffiness I need a heavier eye cream I would

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER APRIL 97 MAKEUP 101 FOUNDATION AND POWDER For most of us getting started with makeup is a real challenge What colors should I choose How do I know what looks good on me Then as if it wasn t complicated enough already how do you know how to put it all on I m here to get you on the road to understanding makeup Welcome to Makeup 101 your personal makeup application lesson This month learn how to choose the right foundation for your skin and how to best apply it With so many different brands and formulas out there choosing a foundation that s right for you can feel like a losing battle To find the right formula and the right color you need to know your skin Are you oily Dry Only oily in spots Sensitive Normal Knowing your skin type helps eliminate foundation formulas that aren t designed for your skin type For instance if you have very dry skin that has flaky patches a powder foundation will only make you feel drier and it will accentuate any dry flaky skin on your face A liquid foundation with emollient ingredients like plant oils is a better choice for dry skin Here s a handy guide to get you started If your skin is Dry your best bet is a Liquid or Cream foundation with emollient ingredients like plant oils and moisturizers like MAC Satin Finish Bobbi Brown Moisturizing Clinique Soft Finish or Estee Lauder Futurist If your skin is Oily your best bet is an Oil free Liquid foundation with a Matte finish like FACE Stockholm Matte Foundation Lancome MaquiControle Prescriptives Exact Color 100 Oil free or Revlon ColorStay If your skin is Normal to Dry your best bet is either a Liquid or a Cream to Powder foundation that has a silky feel like Revlon One Step Compact Makeup Clinique City Base Maybelline Great Wear liquid or Trish McEvoy creme powder If your skin is Normal to Oily your best bet is an Oil free Liquid Cream to Powder or Powder foundation like MAC Studio Fix powder FACE Stockholm Matte liquid Prescriptives Instant Face powder Aveda Dual Performance Creme Powder or Prescriptives Virtual Skin liquid If your skin is Combination normal or dry on your cheeks and jawline with oiliness in the T zone your best bet is a Liquid Cream to Powder or Powder foundation that helps balance your face like Revlon One Step Compact Makeup Max Factor Balancing Act liquid or Prescriptives Virtual Skin liquid Now that you ve identified what you need how do you put it on so your skin can look its best First start with the right tools Disposable synthetic cosmetic sponges either triangle wedges or flat rounds Cotton swabs 3 8 inch or 1 2 inch wide synthetic bristle makeup brush can be found at any art supply store Large powder brush cheap or expensive it doesn t matter for loose powder or sheer application of powder foundation MOST IMPORTANT very clean hands You are now ready to apply your foundation If you are using a liquid there are a number of different techniques to actually get the foundation on your face but I like this one because it s easy you don t use too much foundation and it s sanitary Take one of your cotton swabs dip the end into the bottle once remove it from the bottle and let the excess drain off then use the swab like a crayon to draw a thin line of foundation across each cheek like a zigzag across your forehead down the center of your nose and across your chin Now take one of the sponges and smooth each line in downward strokes to blend Use a gentle touch so you are blending not rubbing it off If you come to a spot on your face that requires more attention like a dark spot or blemish use one of the makeup brushes to apply a very thin layer of foundation over the spot then blend very gently with a clean finger or the sponge You can also use a creamy concealer on the spot in the same way using a brush and blending After you ve covered everything you need to follow up with a light dusting of loose powder to set your foundation Whether you use a puff a brush or a sponge make sure you dust off any excess so your skin looks smooth not chalky If you ve chosen a cream to powder or powder foundation simply use the enclosed puff or sponge to apply Swipe the sponge or puff across the foundation and gently smooth on your face in downward strokes Cover your face with one even layer then add another layer if you need more coverage You re done Remember always start with less foundation than you think you need Adding more if you need to is much easier than trying to remove too much SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS 5S by Shiseido report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Shiseido s newest line 5S launched this past summer 1998 at their flagship store in New York City 5S is a complete skincare and makeup line that represents the five senses of well being as they correspond to the moods of your body and mind using therapeutic colors scents herbs and flower extracts The 5S philosophy about beauty is Have fun so their color products are simply packaged and designed to use just about anywhere on the face Since I don t live in NYC and couldn t browse the store shelves I picked a few products in a few of the different senses to get a feel for how the line works All the five basic skincare products cleanser solution total wash soap bubble and powder come in each of the five senses but it gets a little complicated from there Each of the five senses is broken down into two versions one for mind and one for body for a total of ten options If you choose purifying from the main five senses you then choose again between refreshing for the mind and equalizing for the body to get the product you want Thankfully 5S does a great job of explaining each sense and approach so you get just the experience you are looking for check out the interactive sensory game on the 5S website that helps you get in touch with your emotional or physical states located under own your senses Foam Cleanser in cool 10 All the foaming cleansers are basically the same except for the fragrance and they are all similar to Shiseido s cleansers from their regular line As someone who has shunned foaming cleansers for years because they were too drying I am becoming a believer with several like this one that have evolved to care for the skin without stripping it The 5S cleanser removes makeup and the daily grime effectively without drying the skin yippee Basic Solution in toning cool equalizing and rehydrate 5 for 50ml 1 6oz 17 for 200ml These are not toners not fresheners and not exactly moisturizers either 5S calls the Basic Solution a gel type treatment lotion but I call them soothing and refreshing Toning is an orange gel with fennel extract that has a slightly tightening astringent property Cool is an aqua blue gel with a small amount camphor and menthol that is appropriately cooling without being too tingly Equalizing is a clear gel that balances and soothes when your skin feels sensitive and Rehydrate is a light pink gel lotion from the nurturing sense designed to lightly moisturize the skin I liked Equalizing and Rehydrate the best Total Wash in empowering 10 I love body washes in the shower instead of bar soap and this is a great one You only need a squirt or two on a puff or sponge for long lasting lather and the fragrances are just heavenly The one I chose has peppermint and rosemary guaranteed to wake you up Skin Smoother 12 5S also addresses specific skin issues like breakouts and dehydrated skin with a collection of reinforcements including Wrinkle Cream Blemish Treatment Eye Gel and more This gel scrub with natural mineral salts is great if you like to use a scrub everyday but worry about using something too harsh The mineral salts dissolve as you massage and leave the skin feeling smooth and fresh Base Color foundation with SPF12 15 Since I couldn t see the colors in person choosing the right shade was a little difficult but I do like the consistency and finish of this oil free cream gel foundation Depending on your skin type this foundation will wear differently if you have normal or slightly oily skin it will appear dewy whereas if you are dry the look will be more demi matte unless you apply a fair amount of moisturizer beforehand The cream gel texture spreads very easily delivers sheer coverage and seems to bond with the skin for a no makeup look and feel Stick Color 12 Powder Color 10 and Pencil Color 9 Here is where you really get to have some fun Now the 5S stands for five shades of color light subtle neutral deep and vivid Each product comes in a variety of colors in each range of shades meaning you could have a stick color in a concealer shade from the neutral range as well as a stick color in a vibrant lip gloss from the vivid range The powders come in 36 colors and can be used on eyes and cheeks as well as all over the face using a flesh shade from the neutral range The pencils come 30 shades and various sizes and can be used on eyes lips as concealer whatever all depending on what shade you choose I loved playing with all the colors I got and the mix and match products are perfect for simplifying your makeup routine For more information about the 5S philosophy product line and contact details for their only location at 98 Prince Street

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS 5S by Shiseido report by Elaine of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Shiseido opened the flagship of its lower priced mind and body experience store in New York City s SoHo earlier this year With an emphasis on experimentation the five senses and color therapy 5S seeks to celebrate every woman s freedom to express herself any way she pleases Nearly every product costs between 5 20 putting Shiseido quality products within everyone s reach The store is airy well lit and well stocked Each time I ve been there the young sales associates have been very sweet and helpful never pushy or rude The setup of the store encourages experimentation there s a big island in the middle with lots of tester products cotton swabs mirrors makeup removers etc where anyone can sit and try stuff on wipe it off and start over Last time I visited they even had free tea to drink while you shopped 5S carries facial care products bath and body care treatments brushes applicators cosmetic bags and color cosmetics There are foundations blushes and shadows and mascaras but most were unremarkable and I found the foundation shades to be very limited The other color cosmetics which are available in a staggering range of 135 shades altogether from light to medium to deep to vivid come in two forms crayon pencil and a multi use makeup type formula Both types which come in sheer matte pearly and creamy consistencies are meant to be used anywhere on the face and come in many shades of red pink nude brown plum and also a bunch of less traditional colors like green blue yellow and orange There s something for everyone among all these colors The bath and body products all looked and smelled great too energizing purifying calming and adoring senses let you buy skin and bath treatments including facial foaming cleanser gel face wash body powder and soap according to what your inner spirit needs These are the items I purchased at 5S and what I thought about them 5S Pore Peel 1 7 oz 12 This deep cleansing nose mask touted by the store as a customer favorite is kind of like Biore Pore Perfect Strips in a tube It has the consistency and smell of Elmer s Glue and doesn t harden like a nose strip it just kind of dries and rubberizes The results I got with this were about the same as a Biore strip no better no worse It does seem to tighten up pores and remove some blackheads but it s no miracle product I definitely would not recommend using this anywhere else but on your nose and maybe not even then if you have very sensitive skin It may take some loose or peeling skin off along with your blackheads Ouch All in all a so so product 5S Oil Controller 1 oz 12 A mattifying oil absorbing gel with witch hazel extract meant to be used under makeup I found this gel to be fairly effective at keeping oil production in check especially on my nose It s also non drying which is nice for those of us with combination skin I would buy this again 5S Makeup Eraser 2 fl oz 8 This is a nice makeup remover that does the job well better than many drugstore brands I ve tried It didn t sting my eyes or irritate my skin it takes off makeup well and at 8 a bottle it won t break the bank 5S Stick Color in 410 a subtle shade 12 Smells like candy That was my first impression really This particular shade of stick color is a sheer warm red with a label that says lips only on the bottom of it I plucked this out of a display labeled customer favorites and bought it because it was a natural looking lip color shade and I was not disappointed It s very moisturizing and lends a nice sheer wash of color to my lips Nothing to write home about as far as color or consistency but I could stand along the wall and swatch my hand for hours with all the shades of this stuff that I liked Too bad I couldn t buy them all Where to Buy 5S Online ordering is not available as of August 1998 but there is a web site at http www five s com where you can peruse

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER JUNE 97 MAKEUP 101 EYEBROWS AND LIPS For most of us getting started with makeup is a real challenge What colors should I choose How do I know what looks good on me Then as if it wasn t complicated enough already how do you know how to put it all on I m here to get you on the road to understanding makeup Welcome to Makeup 101 your personal makeup application lesson This month learn how simple touches like nicely groomed eye brows and well defined lips can make you look and feel completely polished Brows Whether you have full or sparse light or dark eye brows any type can benefit from a little grooming Eye brows are the frames for your eyes and can express a lot about you and your style You ll only need a few tools to get your brows in tiptop shape Something to brush them with an old toothbrush a clean mascara wand style brush or a stiff angled makeup brush Tweezers in the shape you prefer I like the angled kind but you might like one that has a more precise point An eyebrow pencil or powder that closely resembles your hair color unless your hair is lighter or darker than your eye brows then choose a brow color that matches your brows for more contrast or one that matches your hair color for less contrast A clear gel brow fixative like Brow and Lash Gel from The Body Shop or Just Browsing from Origins Start by brushing through your brows to loosen any dead skin and to shape the direction of the hairs No matter how much or how little you do to your brows the ultimate goal here is to follow your natural arch and shape If you want something completely different from what you were born with you should not take that task on by yourself visit a salon you trust to get your brows professionally groomed For overall grooming and upkeep get to know the natural shape of your brows If and when you do tweeze out any stray hairs you ll be able to maintain a more natural look if you understand the way your brows grow For me I have a fairly decent arch that I can maintain by just tweezing the stray hairs I get in between the two brows If I want a more dramatic arch I just tweeze out a single row of hairs from the bottom of each brow which opens up the eye area and makes my eyes look larger If you are just starting out with tweezing go slowly and patiently It s easier to pluck more if you need to than it is to draw in the hairs you didn t mean to pluck out Once you have a shape you like you can fill in any holes or sparse areas with an eye brow pencil or powder With either method always use small gentle strokes so the color looks more like hair than a dark line Again go easy on the color or your brows will completely dominate your face After applying the color brush through it with an old toothbrush a clean mascara wand style brush MAC 24 for example or a stiff angled makeup brush Finally if your brows are naturally full like mine finish off with a coat of a clear brow gel to keep the hairs in place You can even do the gel by itself if you don t need or want any color Lips With so many lipstick shades to choose from these days there is bound to be something to suit everybody If you have a lipstick wardrobe like mine 25 colors and counting it s not the shade that s the challenge it s the application All you need for perfect lips are Lip Balm Your favorite shade of lipstick My current personal favorites are Bobbi Brown Nude MAC Skew Revlon Line Shine Flesh Christian Dior Autumn Rose and Philosophy Liberation A matching liner I must make a note here that while some women still wear a liner that is noticeably darker than their lipstick I personally think it looks ridiculous Please don t do it Lip brush Start by conditioning your lips with a lip balm like Kiehl s Philosophy s Kiss Me or Clinique All About Lips Avoid the waxy kinds like Chapstick they are designed to protect your lips from cold and wind not as a base for lipstick Let the lip balm soak in for at least 10 minutes Once the lip balm has fully absorbed there are two ways to go about applying your lipstick and liner The first is to apply the liner first following the natural shape of your lips then fill them in with the lipstick The other method is to apply the lipstick first then line over the top If you have a problem with your lipstick disappearing but a ring of liner remaining putting the lipstick on first then the liner will work better for you Personally I like to line first then fill in with color I feel like the liner makes an easy road map so I can literally color within the lines Try both ways to see which one suits you Since lining itself can be a bit tricky I always start with a pointy pencil at one corner of my lower lip and work toward the center using short strokes that blend the color into the lip itself I do that for both corners upper and lower lips working into the center I then concentrate on the cupid s bow in the center of my upper lip making sure it s defined but not too pointy After you ve applied your color and your liner use the lip brush to blend the two together so there are no edges Blending will also help the color last longer That s all there is to it Three simple lessons on foundation and powder eye shadow and blush and brows and lips are all it takes for an easy polished makeup look SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Facewear report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Founder and artist Monika Boecker created Facewear eye shadows and lip colors to look the same on your skin as they do in the pot so you don t have to worry about a lipgloss that looks great in the container turning a weird shade on your lips The pots are also stackable so you can take multiple shades with you easily The line is small but growing and can currently be found on beauty com and beautyscene com Wet Dry Lid Stuff 12 50 each All the Facewear eyeshadows Lid Stuff can be used wet or dry and as shadow liner or brow color There are 13 colors total and two textures matte and frost I tried Afro a matte dark brown that looks great as liner Foil a light silver frost and Shag a light coral frost with a hint of gold perfect for the new spring coral trend Afro is a really basic color but Foil and Shag are fun non neutrals that I didn t think I would like but I do I never choose warm shades like coral but Shag used sparingly on my cool toned skin has a nice warmth and subtle shimmer that I could see myself wearing for spring All the colors wear well with little to no creasing or fading and they have a nice amount of pigment so you don t have to apply 3 or 4 layers to get the color you want What you see in the pot is what you get on your skin Lip Stuff 12 50 Again what you see is what you get with these glosses If you find that most lipsticks you try look great in the tube but completely different on your lips you ll find these colors refreshingly true Lip Stuff has a watermelon flavor and comes three textures luster semi gloss and high gloss I tried Bikini luster champagne beige Nothing semi gloss pearly white and Potion semi gloss sheer berry Bikini is too light for me but Nothing is great for layering over regular lipstick and Potion is a great berry shade that is sheer and looks great by itself The only thing I m not crazy about is the watermelon flavor I like that there is a flavor rather than just a scent but the watermelon makes me feel like I m 13 and chewing Bubblicious bubble gum I d rather taste something more grown up like citrus or vanilla Lip Pencil 8 I often skip lip liner even when I know I should use it because most are so dry and crumbly These have less wax so they are really smooth and creamy They don t drag when you put them on you can easily fill in your lips with them if you want to use the liner as lipcolor with a gloss on top and they have a nice matte finish that doesn t smear or feather I got 153 berry brown and 214 chocolate brown and I definitely plan on using them with my favorite lipsticks Facewear also makes glitter gels 10 and a small collection of brushes all around 12 that I plan on

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS FACE Stockholm October 1997 report by Mimi of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Although I am a frequent customer at the Soho FACE store I usually only buy make up there I rarely venture beyond the array of eyeshadows lip glosses and powders on the mirrored tables in the front of the store to the skin care area in the back I am however a devotee of their Foaming Facial Cleanser and was excited to try more products in their skin care line I love FACE because they have trendy but fairly inexpensive make up and friendly low pressure salespeople They are not the usual dragon ladies of the department stores They are young attitude free and wear a minimal amount of make up In addition FACE doesn t stock thousands of products so the salespeople really know the products and how to use them Unfortunately they don t give out samples but most of the skin care products come in small medium and large sizes so that you can try them out before committing to the large oh and save those small bottles They are great for travel But enough gushing here s what I found out about FACE s skin care line Apricot Gel Scrub 16 for 4 ounces I was a little afraid of this product because the words apricot and scrub remind me of that horrible stuff they used to make or still make that practically rips the skin off your face I still had make up on so I washed it off with FACE s Foaming Facial Cleanser 12 for 4 ounces which I always use anyway I m so used to it now I won t use anything else It smells great lathers I don t like goopy non lathering cleansers and doesn t dry out my skin After that I tried the gel scrub and was pleasantly surprised This is really cool stuff The scrub is suspended in a clear soft gel so it is gentle and rinses off easily It smells sweet in the container but doesn t leave a scent on your skin Use it sparingly though Last night I tried it again and ended up with my hairline full of apricot granules The product may seem expensive but it s not for everyday use and a little goes a long way Botanical Toner 12 for 4 ounces Again I was a little bit afraid to use toner because I usually find toners either way too harsh and full of alcohol or too oily I also never really understood the reason for their existence but I suspect it has something to do with the marketing of skin care systems In other words I don t think swabbing alcohol on your face is necessary I was very pleasantly surprised with this toner however It has a clean fragrance and really felt refreshing It is subtly fragrant but not overpowering and there is absolutely no alcoholic Sea Breeze scent I have been converted At 12 for only 4 ounces however it is an expensive conversion Aloe Vera Facial Lotion 14 for 4oz To top of my wonderfully scrubbed cleansed and toned face I used this light non greasy and effective moisturizer Although it is fragranced with lavender it doesn t have that cheap potpourri scent Like the other FACE skin care products I tried so far it just smelled clean After using it my face felt smooth and soft It is also light enough apply just before putting on your make up The 14 price tag may seem a little steep for only 4 ounces of lotion but it lasts much longer than I thought it would I have been using it at least twice a day for two weeks because my skin has turned extremely dry with the arrival of fall and the bottle is still pretty full I was really impressed with the four products used together and even though I had to wake up at 4 30 in the morning the days I was testing these products I have to admit I looked great But there s more Sage and Aloe Gel Mask 16 for 4 ounces This is a clear gel that looks deceptively gentle When I applied to my entire face however it turned into a monster The directions are Apply to entire face and neck Leave on for 10 15 minutes which I did A few seconds after application however my eyes started to burn from the sage and aloe fumes and I REALLY wanted to wash it off Stupidly I didn t I waited for it to turn into a super sticky film before rinsing it off it does come off easily and vowed never to touch it again But as I said I can do stupid things and I tried it again My eyes burned My face turned into a sticky mess I closed the jar and hopefully won t be tempted to subject myself to such deep pore cleansing in the future I suppose that this may work if you have super oily skin and or are a glutton for punishment Otherwise I would not recommend it AHA Lotion 8 for 4 oz I loved the Aloe Vera Facial Lotion and am a big fan of AHAs so I was ready to love FACE s version I didn t What bothered me most about this lotion is the scent I thought that it smelled like sour milk in the bottle but it smelled even worse on my face I had to wash it off soon after applying it Later in the evening I noticed that my hands smelled sickeningly sweet I grabbed the bottle and read the ingredients aha the sour milk smell must come from the lactic acid and the super fruity smell must come from mango I was disappointed in this lotion and would stick with the regular AHA free aloe vera lotion After sampling all these fun products on my face it was time to try out the shower gels Rosemary and Lavender 4 for 4 ounces is a perfect product for the shower It is a clear green gel that smells strong enough to notice but doesn t leave you smelling of herbs all day You can also wear perfume after using it without it affecting the scent Like the other FACE products that I loved it has a subtle clean scent Read the directions though and use it with a bath sponge or a washcloth I forgot to the first time I tried and used way too much Jasmine 4 for 4 ounces is a pretty purple foaming gel but it s nothing special Unlike the unique and fresh smelling Rosemary and Lavender the Jasmine has a more traditional soapy smell The Jasmine shower gel is similar to the Rosemary and Lavender in every way lather texture cost but I would sooner recommend the Rosemary and Lavender because of its refreshing unique scent SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS FACE Stockholm report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel On my last trip to New York City I had a great time visiting the upscale department stores but I had the most fun and success at the Face Stockholm store on Prince Street in Soho The best part of going to Face was my terrific shopping companion Pam from the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Pam and I had a great time choosing colors and exchanging tips and techniques Face is a Swedish line that has been around for over 10 years in Sweden and in NYC since 1989 Their easy to use displays of colors tools and brushes makes it really simple and fun to experiment with anything you want I was greeted right away by one of the artists and she helped me select a good foundation shade Oyster in their Matte formula I really liked this foundation and the color was great on me After applying my base I was ready to fill in the rest of my canvas with eye shadow and lipstick Pam helped me choose eye shadows in Platina a grayish slate blue that luckily looks more gray than blue on and Joy one of Pam s favorites and now mine a real chameleon color that looks sort of plum in the container but looked more like a grayish plum brown on my blue eyes There are tons of eye shadow colors to choose from at Face from matte classic browns to ultra shiny loose iridescent reds so take your time browsing and playing Picking a lipstick was more of a challenge the first one I tried Matte Brick was too red for me then the second Fresh Plum was darker than what I was looking for One thing to keep in mind is that the matte formula lipstick can be quite dry and crumbly so if you fall in love with one of the matte colors be sure to moisturize those lips beforehand Since I liked my foundation and eye shadow choices very much I didn t really think to find out the prices until I was ready to pay I was amazed at how reasonable everything was for a boutique store 19 for foundation and 12 for eye shadow 14 for lipstick I even got a free bottle of nail polish with my purchase a sassy fushia red color 12 FACE Update Oct 97 Ever since my trip to New York City in February I have enjoyed everything I got at FACE Theirs was the first bottle of liquid foundation I have ever finished and their joy eyeshadow is a permanent fixture in my eye makeup collection When I learned they introduced a line of skin care I thought what better place than FACE to find a good fall winter cleanser Since I don t have a FACE store or counter near me I took a chance on ordering over the phone After talking about my skin type with a salesperson at FACE for several minutes I decided on the Aloe Cleansing Lotion 18 for 8 ounces for normal sensitive dry or youth skin whatever youth skin means About two weeks later my package arrived and I was eager to try my new cleanser The product packaging is simple and the ingredient list short The first thing I noticed as I opened the bottle was how strong the lavender oil fragrance was even though it s near the end of the ingredient list Lavender and rosemary oils have an almost astringent property that really aren t beneficial to dry or sensitive skin I really wanted to like this cleanser since I ve liked many other FACE Stockholm products but it didn t do a very good job of removing my makeup and it left a strange filmy feeling on my skin like some sort of coating was left behind in the rinse cycle Not my idea of clean To add insult to injury I had the same bad experience with FACE s Botanical Toner On the phone the salesperson said this one would be right for me but when I saw for normal to oily skin on the label I knew it was wrong again FACE loves lavender oil it s in everything This toner smells very strongly of lavender and has definite astringent properties from the witch hazel arnica lavender and eucalyptus extracts This is a good toner for normal to oily skin In an effort to fix things FACE sent me the toner designed for all skin types the Aloe Vera Toner It stills smells strongly of rosemary and lavender but the high aloe vera content 85 according to the label makes it a little more soothing For normal skin this is a fine toner but I wouldn t buy it again for my normal to dry skin If you find yourself in the Soho Greenwich Village area of the NYC I highly recommend visiting Face Stockholm for a truly fun cosmetic experience They re located at 110 Prince Street For mail ordering or more information call 212 334 3900 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Eyebrowz report by Aina of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I don t know if it s just me but I have absolutely no clue what to do with my eyebrows I don t know how to shape them or define them Then I discovered this product you can phone order or buy over the Internet called Eyebrowz It s a set of stencils and eyebrow powder so you can darken and shape your eyebrows All you have to do is find your shape and place the stencil against your eye as a guide to define and darken your eyebrows You can even use the stencils to pluck the eyebrow shape that you have always wanted One can order the set of 4 stencils and a powder for 19 95 or skip the powder and just get the stencils for just 14 95 It felt a little awkward trying to use the stencils for the first time They offer stencils for thick thin high arched curved or straight brows m sort of in the middle not to curved but not too straight not thick but not thin either After a few minutes of uncertainty I found the shape that fit me the best I used the powder recommended for darker skin tones removed the stencil from my brows and screamed I forgot to blend and they looked way way too dark After I blended I felt better and liked the difference My eyebrows were more noticeable and they had more of a definite shape which is exactly what I wanted On another day I used the eyebrow powder for lighter or fairer skins and I actually liked this one better It s more subtle and I didn t have to blend as much They also offer a powder that is almost black but I was afraid to try this one Joan Crawford I am not I would probably use these colors as eye shadows and the darkest one as a powder liner if I knew how to use powderliner The mini brush they send with the powder is good for getting the color exactly where you want it but you really need a Q tip or another brush for blending they provide a few of those too I probably wouldn t use this for every day but for special occasions I would take the time to do this Bottom line I liked this product and would recommend it for eyebrow novices like myself to pros As long as they keep making this stuff I ll be around

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER JULY AUGUST 99 ONLINE SHOPPING REVIEW With the explosion of beauty shopping sites online readers like you have been asking me where the best places are to shop who has the best service and where to get hard to find products I m starting with eve com Eve com Eve com touts itself as the first company created exclusively to offer an array of prestige beauty products on the Web They recently signed a deal with AOL and are poised to bring prestige beauty to women across the US I decided to try them out with a budget of 30 On July 1st after browsing the site and reading a few articles I selected Urban Decay 3 in 1 Concealer 14 in cloud cover and Tony Tina Lipstick 15 in Chosen pink rose With a nice range of brands and products I didn t have as hard a time as I thought I would at sticking to my 30 budget I found the product selection and checkout experience to be easy to follow and very clearly stated The order form also invited me to choose two categories of samples I d like to recieve with my order I selected skincare and other At the time I ordered standard USPS Priority Mail shipping was free normally it s 3 95 and would take about one week My total came to 29 I received my order on July 6th well within the week time frame and was eager to see all my goodies Inside the box were two small note cards one thanking me for my order and the other offering free giftwrapping on my next order a 3 value I also found a nifty samples pouch with samples of men s fragrances like Givenchy and Bijan as well as bath and body samples of Essentiel Elements hand cream Jil Sander perfume and Orlane toner While these were not exactly the categories I had requested it was still nice to get some samples My products were nicely wrapped in eve com tissue paper sealed with an eve com sticker I immediately open the Tony Tina lipstick and tried it on The eve com site had mentioned this color Chosen as a great pink for people who hate pink This got my attention as so many pinks these days are too bright or too pale for me This shade is a pretty fleshy pink with just a hint of fuschia The color looks a bit lighter on the screen than it is in the tube My favorite part of the lipstick is the texture smooth and light not too creamy not too matte It almost melds with your lips so you hardly feel that the lipstick is even there It also has a great aromatherapy smell from lavender bergamot rosewater and rosemary plus mood lifting St John s Wort I would definitely pick up another tube or two of this lipstick in a few other colors My second product Urban Decay Concealer was also a great find Unlike most basic fleshtone concealers this one has a green color correcting concealer on one side and a fleshtone on the other The idea is that you can use the green to camouflage pimples which tend to be red and the green cancels out the red then you can use the fleshtone over it The green concealer also has salicylic acid so it sort of doubles as a blemish fighter except I doubt there is really enough in there to make a huge difference You can of course use the fleshtone concealer on underye circles or anywhere else that needs a little extra coverage What I liked best was the texture creamy but not oily or greasy lightweight but decent coverage You can layer it on without worrying about caking or it turning orange and it has good holding power especially when you put a little loose powder over it UD Concealer comes in three colors Cloud Cover the lighest Jungle Cover a medium shade and Night Cover the darkest All in all I enjoyed my shopping experience at Eve com They have a decent amount of information and the images for the products are fair representations I would like to see more in terms of product ingredients and of course more brands To check out the site for yourself visit eve com SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Epicuren Discovery report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Let me start by saying that Epicuren Discovery is not for the budget minded The mid size travel kit lasts 2 3 months that I tested which contains small 2 ounce bottles of their six key products is 180 the full size kit that you would normally use at home is 350 We are not talking bargain basement here but the results I ve seen are compelling enough for me to recommend this line When I started the program three weeks ago I considered my skin to be a wreck I was suffering from severely clogged pores on my forehead dozens of tiny bumps and blackheads oiliness in the T zone and new breakouts daily of small red pimples and whiteheads like a pimple but more superficial on my chin and around my mouth I attributed these breakouts to the rise in hormone level that my body has gone through during my pregnancy and I tried my usual remedies acne creams and masks as well as seeing a dermatologist in an attempt to clear the condition all without much success My face basically looked like a battle zone with pimples and red blotches sprinkled here there and everywhere This was not the glow of pregnancy that I had hoped for Enter Epicuren Discovery I first heard about ED from a small mention in InStyle magazine several months ago and had been curious about the line ever since When the opportunity came to try it I jumped ED s concept is based on a combination of live enzyme vitamin and protein solutions being applied to the skin to encourage cell regeneration This basically means that the cells are getting more oxygen and are working more efficiently like aerobic exercise for your skin so they act and look healthier and more alive The basic ED system involves two steps preparation and treatment with three products per step There are quite a few other products that you can add or substitute like eye creams different cleansers and richer moisturizers but these are normally prescribed by your ED consultant later based on your results with the basic kit Step One Preparation Apricot Facial Scrub 20 for 2 ounces seemed similar at first in consistency to some other seeds and shells scrubs I ve tried but it actually much smoother and gentler The apricot and walnut scrub bits are flat and designed to very gently remove dead cells from the skin rather than just grinding and tearing at the healthy ones like some rougher scrubs can do The scrub is supposed to be used once a day unless your consultant advises another schedule before cleansing to remove cell buildup I really look forward to using it every morning and I think it helps the treatment products get into the skin more easily Apricot Facial Cleanser 18 for 2 ounces is a rich cream cleanser that effectively removes makeup while keeping the skin soft and supple In the morning this is my second step after the scrub while at night it s the first I really like this cleanser and would compare the silky consistency to Remede Milky Wash Brad Johns lotion cleanser for dry sensitive skin or Clarins Cleansing Milk with Alpine Herbs Since this cleanser is in the basic kit it is designed for all skin types however your consultant would evaluate your skin after using the system for several weeks to see if it could benefit from one of the other cleansers gelle for oily skin herbal for dry skin Facial Conditioner 22 for 2 ounces acts a bit like a toner to prepare the skin for the treatments that are to follow It contains collagen amino acids aloe vera gel ED s live enzyme complex as well as lemon sage and apricot extracts The instructions say to either saturate a cotton pad with the Conditioner or apply it directly to the skin with your fingers I prefer the direct method and found I used much less product this way Step Two Treatment Enzyme Facial Concentrate 86 for 2 ounces is the basis for the effectiveness of the whole system and the strongest application of live enzyme protein The vitamin and protein complex makes the skin cells work harder and more efficiently so your complexion looks healthier and smoother Enzyme Gel Plus 68 for 2 ounces also contains concentrated vitamins and protein that make the skin look and feel tighter and firmer I began by using one pump of the gel once a day then twice a day Now that my skin is responding well to the system and absorbing the products more readily I like to use two pumps twice a day for added moisture especially with colder weather on the way Facial Emulsion 26 for 2 ounces is the basic ED moisturizer It s rich in protein vitamins and collagen and seals in the benefits of the other treatment products I am also using two pumps twice a day of this and plan to supplement my routine with one of ED s other moisturizers as winter sets in This lotion is light to medium weight and absorbs fairly quickly especially after you ve been using the products for a while After using this basic system for the last three weeks I definitely notice a positive difference in my skin The first few days were transitional like with any new skin care routine but after about a week and a half my pimples were almost completely cleared up just a small whitehead appeared once or twice instead of half a dozen every day my forehead was almost completely cleared of pore congestion the excess oil in my T zone disappeared my cheeks felt noticeably smoother and softer to me and my husband and my skin s overall color was more even and rosy Now at the three week mark my skin is more resilient less sensitive and continues to be almost completely pimple free Most people will notice a small change within 2 to 4 weeks and even greater results after two months I plan to continue on the program and adjust a few of the products for my skin s current needs including changing to the Herbal Cleanser and adding the Protein Mist and Glycolic Lotion which I will review after several weeks of use As I mentioned before Epicuren Discovery is a high end skin care system that is more costly than most department store lines because of the live enzymes but is one that has produced real results for me in a relatively short amount of time If you are at the end of your rope with other lines and are looking for improvement in your skin s texture clarity and color ED is definitely worth investigating For more information you can contact Kim Heiman at ED by phone at 415 641 1779 or by email at hkimh best com You can also check out the compay website at www epicuren com Important Before you begin with this system it is best to have a phone consultation with Kim to have your skin assessed so you are certain to get the right products for you SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Dr R A Eckstein report by Kiki of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel About two years ago I was reading in Vogue and again in Allure magazine about a skin specialist in Hollywood who gave phenomenal facials Although he doesn t like to associate his business with famous people both articles hinted that you shouldn t be surprised to run into Winona Ryder and other well known actresses I decided to make an appointment on the off chance that I could end up with her poreless perfect skin Over the years I had become wary of skin salons from one too many visits to salons under the name of some great facialist who was never around unless you were a celebrity and his dozen or so disgruntled underpaid inexperienced facialists who often had no concept of whether to extract or not to extract Steven was just what I was looking for He does his own facials leaves barely a mark on my skin so much so that I can go straight back to work and not have to hide in a closet for a week and has the best skin care products from a number of product lines I had never heard of this line of products before I came to Steven s salon What a weird name for skincare products I thought to myself And the little snake in a bowl logo is very curious The products are completely unique and effective and I would highly recommend any product in this line based on my experiences There is so much thought put into every ingredient and the preparations are highly intelligent and specific I have only used three of the ten products that Steven offers but I believe Dr R A Eckstein to be of superior quality Azulen Night Paste 32 for 5 oz This is a very strange and awesome little product It comes in a tub that might hold lip balm The first paragraph description on Steven s website explains it quite well One of the most directly effective and highest acclaimed preparations in the field of BioCosmetics it has proven itself so successful in the case of cosmetic skin impurities that it has become an indispensable product in the salon as well as in home treatment It s expensive but it lasts a forever I bought two tubs two years ago one for work and one for home Basically this product is a thick sea colored paste for skin impurities blemishes etc I have never used such a fantastic and unusual blemish preparation At night I dab it heavily on the offending blemish or will lightly dab it on my chin or any area that is starting to break out During the day I ll dab it very lightly on the blemish and set it with Dr R A Eckstein Azulen Powder The blue green color dabbed very lightly actually counteracts the redness of the blemish thereby acting as a good concealer What is so amazing about this paste is how effectively it both dries and calms a blemish at the same time We ve all used the product that dries and irritates or dries and adds redness and inflammation but I had never used a product that dries and calms This gets my highest recommendation Azulen Powder 32 for 6 oz Another Eckstein power product This is a light disinfecting powder for oily blemished skin Again this product counteracts oil and calms the skin and blemishes I ve yet to run into such a unique powder for oily skin there is simply nothing out there quite like it It contains azulen zinc oxide sulphur shale oil chamomile oil and allantoin It lasts a long time too I carry it in my purse and shake it onto a brush and lightly powder my face This powder does have a slight tone color which may be necessary to keep it from being blue green from the azulen chamomile but the effect is translucent on the skin For more information on Steven Miller and the products he carries like Dr R A Eckstein visit his website at http www smsc net SHOP Get what you need

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Elizabeth Arden Custom Color Foundation report by Edith of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I am almost ashamed to admit it but the one beauty product I have always had trouble purchasing is foundation Years ago I resigned myself to the fact that I would be on a never ending quest for a liquid foundation that truly matched my complexion and skin type When I was offered the opportunity to try out Elizabeth Arden s new Custom Color Foundation I was curious but skeptical A promise of an exact matching foundation custom designed by a unique optical skin reader sounded like that much hooey to me I recalled with little fondness my experience with Prescriptives color printing methods and I figured more of the same kind of gimics from Elizabeth Arden Not so This product is based on some hard science and when all is said and done it works pretty darned well The optical scanner is actually a spectrometer or a devise that can examine a color and break it down to its very basic components The scanner is held up to a part of your face usually just above the jaw line and it takes three readings a sunlight reading for outdoors a fluorescent light reading for office and an incandescent light reading for indoors This process takes about five seconds The information is fed into a computer which decodes the color data The associate then asks some questions about skin type coverage and the like From all the data the computer whips up a concoction that perfectly matches your face The mixing and decanting process takes about five minutes As you wait for the mixing process the computer that clever devil also creates six new looks for you suggesting eye shadow blush and lip color schemes based on your foundation I delved into one of the less exotic looks and I was fairly pleased with the results All in all the Custom Color Foundation matched my skin perfectly and I mean PERFECTLY and unlike Prescriptives color matching which is created by a makeup artist and can be inconsistent at best Custom Color Foundation is done by computer The information is saved under your name and can be retrieved at a later date for future purchases so the elements of variability and human error are eliminated However there are some things to consider before shelling out 42 50 for one ounce First because sunscreens are covered by the Federal Drug Administration this foundation cannot be made with any sun protectants which means that one must either wear a sunscreen under the foundation or use a moisturizer with a high SPF Second I highly recommend that when given the option of light medium or full coverage choose either light or medium I found the medium coverage was more than enough if not a bit heavy and chalky Third go for dry skin option only if you have really dry skin I have combination skin and though my forehead and cheeks love the product my chin found it to be a bit oily and has been threatening to break out since I started using it Finally for those who care Elizabeth Arden has yet to abandon the practice of animal testing for its products According to Tom Peterson director of product development for Elizabeth Arden 42 machines have been posted at retail outlets across the country six are in Red Door Salons and the rest are at department store counters He says he expects to have 150 machines in stores by the end of 2000 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics SPONSOR

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Dr Hauschka Skincare report by Deanna of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel My friend Elaine is the person who introduced me to Dr Hauschka Skincare Elaine has cystic acne and was getting married She felt she had tried everything then she read about Dr Hauschka She called me to see if I knew where to get the products Of course I did She bought the products and started using them Dr Hauschka skin care is made in Germany and has been around since 1967 The company stresses a balanced holistic approach to skin care using biodynamic and organically grown ingredients There are some changes in the application process of these products for instance the company indicates that rolling pressing and massaging should be used versus regular swiping and wiping techniques with which we are all more familiar Oily or impure skin should be treated with each of the cleansing products for about 3 5 minutes I saw Elaine about 6 weeks later we were picking out the makeup that she would wear for the wedding and her skin looked great We were both very excited So because I suffer from mild to moderate acne and was looking for something to help out my aging skin I rushed to buy this skincare line I used this skincare program for about 3 months and here s what I found Cleansing Milk 22 95 for 5 1fl oz This is a non lathering cleanser It has a fairly thin mildly oily consistency It smells nice and removes makeup including regular formulations of mascara fairly well I found two applications of this product worked best This is one of the products that should be rolled and pressed into the skin Personally I didn t feel clean when I used this product When I consulted the sales associate on this matter she said that it was because the cleanser left the acid mantle of the skin intact and using other products stripped the skin which seemed to make sense at the time When I consulted the ingredients list I noticed that the product contained a great many oils in several forms including jojoba oil sweet almond oil rice germ oil glycerin and lecithin It also contains water first ingredient alcohol second ingredient and bentonite clay It is my understanding that all of these oils are supposed to be good for the skin but seeing these ingredients I realized why I didn t feel clean however I pressed on with the program Cleansing Cream 15 95 for 1 7oz This is an exfoliating scrub The primary exfoliant is sweet almond meal paste This is another product that should be rolled and pressed over the skin for 3 5 minutes if you re oily This product too contains a great many oils namely peanut oil wheat germ oil and sweet almond oil It also contains alcohol witch hazel St John s Wort extract and a number of other essential oils Again with this product I didn t feel clean and quite frankly I was getting a little tired of massaging my face Also for the price I didn t think this was a good value This 1 7oz size goes pretty quickly when you re using about 2 inches of it on the face twice a day however it does gently remove any traces of makeup and dry skin from the face and hands Clarifying Toner 22 95 for 3 4fl oz I have said on many occasions that I am not a toner person However use of this toner was recommended to me as part of the overall program This toner contains water alcohol witch hazel and a number of floral extracts I was hoping that using this toner would help me relieve the unclean feeling on my face but it didn t It is refreshing if stored in the refrigerator but that s about it Normalizing Day Oil 23 50 for 1 0fl oz Quite frankly I thought the addition of more oil to my face was a bit hokey However the sales associate convinced me that adding oil to my face would train my face to stop producing excess oil as it would realize that there was oil already on my face On the positive side this little bottle will last a long time as you only need about three drops to cover the face and neck On the negative side while using this oil I had a great deal of trouble getting my makeup to stay put even when using the stay put varieties Since I absolutely refuse to go without anything on my face I bought the Dr Hauschka Translucent Bronze Concentrate Translucent Bronze Concentrate 21 95 for 1 0fl oz This is a sheer bronzer designed to be mixed with the oil or any other moisturizer for a sheer healthy glow It contains water olive oil alcohol witch hazel lecithin beeswax algin cetearyl alcohol chlorophyllin copper complex this is supposed to be plant extracted chlorophyll and copper and iron oxides It did give a sheer bronze look to my skin however I personally found that this product was simply too dark and too orange no matter how little I used I did continue to use the product because it was the only foundation I could get to stay on my face and because it was part of the program Rejuvenating Mask 29 95 for 1 1fl oz This mask is designed to smooth and invigorate the skin It contains water alcohol wheat germ oil borage oil cetearyl alcohol rice germ oil jojoba oil peanut oil bentonite clay lecithin and several plant extracts and essential oils Personally I thought it was a little pricey there are only about 10 treatments per tube I did not notice any remarkable different in the texture or tone of my skin when using the product about once a week for three months The sales associate asked me to try the Facial Steam Bath and the Cleansing Clay Mask which I did however I found both of these products to be unremarkable The Steam Bath is essentially a concentrate made from plant extracts water alcohol and witch hazel It is added to the hot water then you steam your face Personally I didn t like the smell The Clay mask is made from clay witch hazel cornstarch and plant extracts My overall opinion of this skincare line is not positive While using this skincare line and I used it for three months I suffered through the worst acne of my life The entire program does emphasize gentle cleaning and skin care techniques which are important At best I saw some softening of the fine lines in my face Most of the products do smell pleasantly I cannot say that this skincare system doesn t work since my friend Elaine s skin has never looked better I did speak with the sales associate concerning my breakouts and she pooh poohed me telling me that my skin was just detoxifying itself Well either my skin is a toxic waste dump or these products just didn t work for me which is more probable In my opinion there is just too much oil in each of these products for my type of skin You can find Dr Hauschka products at many health food stores American Wholehealth Integrated Medicine Centers and online at www beautyhabit com Good Luck SHOP Get what you need plus save

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS DHC report by Joi of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I recently tried several products from the DHC skincare line a skincare line from Japan that is now distributed out of San Francisco I really like most of the things I tried On the whole they were simple clean and did the job Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover 15 00 for 3 3 oz This remover didn t irritate or dry my skin and it didn t leave my skin feeling greasy All of my eye makeup and mascara non waterproof came off easily I liked that is has no fragrance or color very natural and basic Mild Soap 12 00 for 3 1 oz I also really liked this product The translucent bar is fragrance free perfect for in the shower and left my skin feeling squeaky clean It had a good lather and my skin didn t feel dry A good basic facial soap Clean Finish Lotion 12 00 for 6 oz I think that this lotion smelled too much of rubbing alcohol but it did the job Although I didn t notice that my pores were more refined as the advertisements claimed I never really expected that This is a clear basic toner Light Moisture 24 00 for 3 3 oz Designed for normal to oiler skin this lotion was not greasy and had no odor Although the brochure said it would refresh and stimulate my skin I can t say that I felt it did but it felt like a nice light simple lotion Also my skin didn t look greasy an hour after I put it on Facial Scrub 14 00 for 4 9 oz I loved this scrub DHC says it s geared towards everyone s skin although I think some sensitive skin types might find the fine apricot granules a bit too harsh Again it left my skin feeling squeaky clean which I liked It was slightly pink with no noticeable fragrance Deep Cleansing Facial Mask 24 00 for 2 1 oz This mask looks like a typical mud clay mask green blue in color with no fragrance I didn t notice that my skin had restored clarity and brightness but then I never believe that hype It simply felt good and my skin looked clean The mask came off easily with water and I didn t need a washcloth to scrub it from my skin For more information about DHC these and their many other products free samples or a catalog visit the DHC website SHOP Get

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Dermalogica report by Patty of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Multi Active Toner I usually don t like toners that you have to spritz on but this one is very nice The directions instruct the user to spray it before makeup application but I found that Multi Active Toner worked well over makeup as an afternoon refreshment for tired skin This product won t really revolutionize your skin care routine but it is a refreshing way to pamper your face on those long days when you just feel yuck Dermal Clay Cleanser I love this cleanser This clay is a thick creamy non foaming cleanser that does a superb job of removing makeup and making the skin feel fresh I would guess that it is only recommended for those with combo or oily skin because it does strip the skin of oil but if you are oily like me you ll probably appreciate this Dermal Clay left my skin feeling cool and fresh Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque This creamy facial mask is supposed to reduce inflammation and comfort irritated skin The only positive comment I can make about this product is that it feels luxurious going on the skin As far as what it actually does I am still trying to figure that out After leaving the mask on for the required 15 minutes I neither saw nor felt a difference It just so happened that my skin was irritated at the time so I feel comfortable writing that Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque did not live up to its promises To learn more about Dermalogica visit their website at http www dermalogica com review 11 99 SHOP Get what

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Dermalogica report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I am pleased to bring you an update to my original review of Dermalogica skin care products This time around I was prescribed a regimen of products by one of Dermalogica s skin care specialists I answered a series of questions that they use to determine skin type and condition and I gave general information to her about my skin s personality and my lifestyle Here is what I tried Special Cleansing Gel 22 for 8 ounces I tried this cleanser the first time I reviewed Dermalogica I liked it then and I still like it now although I would still not call it special This is a lightweight almost watery gel that feels really slippery on the skin It does a great job of removing makeup and is not drying or stripping I think this is a fine cleanser for just about any skin type It does contain lavender and balm mint extracts but I did not find the levels high enough to be irritating Multi Active Toner 21 50 for 8 ounces I did not like this spray toner at all It contains balm mint and lavender like the cleanser but in this product they are incredibly irritating if or rather when you get them near your eyes it is rather inevitable with a spray It also contains aloe vera and cucumber but just not enough to cancel out the stinging effect of the mint and lavender If you want a gentle soothing spray toner Oxygen Mist from Peter Thomas Roth is far better than this Gentle Soothing Booster 41 for one ounce Let me preface my review with some background Dermalogica has a whole category of products called Boosters promising everything from Skin Renewal to Special Clearing Each formula packs botanical ingredients and plant extracts the company says pure over 70 active concentrates into a tiny one ounce serving that is supposed to deliver dramatic and immediate results Can we say hype The red raspberry extract and honey in Gentle Soothing for me did a mediocre job of reducing redness and calming irritation I practically slathered it on my face to try to see some results and all I noticed was that my skin felt more moisturized While I was using the Dermalogica products I had a few days with more blotchiness than usual so I had high hopes that this booster would help It didn t Intensive Moisture Concentrate 45 for one ounce Of all the Dermalogica products I tried I really liked this lightweight moisturizer It s a clear non sticky gel with aloe glycerin vitamin E vitamin A lavender oil corn oil and a variety of water binding ingredients I didn t find it to be as rich as the package claimed which actually makes it a nice choice for any skin type either alone or layered under your regular moisturizer Active Moist 27 for 1 75 ounces This is a really average and rather boring product if skin care can be either exciting or boring It has a variety of extracts like lavender mallow ivy cucumber sage and lemon but overall it performs like a basic lightweight lotion You don t need to spend almost 30 for something this basic Total Eye Care SPF15 31 50 for 75 ounce tube This is an unremarkable eye cream with a strange pinkish tint that I imagine is supposed to be the optical light diffusers the packaging mentions All it did for me was make me look like I had been crying The cream itself is fine nothing special a basic moisturizer A drugstore eye cream like L Oreal or Alpha Hydrox would be a much better purchase I think the thing that bothers me the most about Dermalogica is their image it s a bit like Clinique wanting you to belive that they are clinical just because their salespeople wear professional looking white lab coats Dermalogica is a cosmetics and skin care company like all the rest even though they want you to believe they are some kind of medical institution Everything from the skin care prescriptions to the rather chemical smelling products make you feel like you ve got a team of dermatologists working on formulas just for you Just be aware of what the line really is basic skin care and you ll be in good shape To learn more about Dermalogica visit their website at http www dermalogica com review 11 05 99 SHOP

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Dermalogica Travel Set report by Adele of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I had heard about Dermalogica from a friend but thought it sounded a bit too strong for my liking However when I discovered that it does not contain alcohol mineral oil or lanolin and is safe to use on all skin I decided to buy the travel set at 24 50 39 Inside the small bag there are 8 different items including two face sponges and a product directory it is ideal for the first time user Essential Cleansing Solution 60ml This is a white lotion which doesn t have much of a scent but does feel silky on your skin it is actually recommended for dry to ultra dry skin so I used it very sparingly as I have normal combo skin I can t say that I found this any different to normal high street cream cleansers and wasn t impressed Skin Prep Scrub 22ml I did not like the smell at all I don t know if you agree but I think there is nothing worse than applying a foul smelling product to your skin especially to your face Contrary to what you might expect from the ingredients of ground corncob aloe gel and cucumber the smell is sulphur like and overpowering Also I found the grains a bit too rough for my skin this is a definite no no in my opinion Gentle Cream Exfoliant Sachet I liked this better than the skin prep scrub It felt finer in texture and my skin did feel a lot smoother after use making it well prepared for toner and moisturiser Multi Active Toner 60ml I loved spritzing this on my skin it made me feel wide awake as soon as I used it It s extracts of lavender and balm mint smell great One thing though I had to be careful when spraying directly onto the face as a couple of times my eyes started to nip and then water Intensive Moisture Balance 22ml I thought this was ok and like the cleanser it didn t feel any different from the high street versions It is recommended for dry skin and was a bit too rich for me I would however like to try the Active Moist or Skin Smoothing Cream which would be more suited to my skin Shine Therapy Shampoo Sachet I loved using this shampoo I sometimes suffer from a dry flaky scalp and this shampoo helped to cool down my scalp and made my hair feel really clean The extracts of Ylang Ylang and Eucalyptus add to the fresh smell Silk Finish Conditioner Sachet I found this terrific it complemented the shampoo making my hair and scalp feel really clean and cool and it had the desired effect of conditioning leaving my hair shiny and silky I liked it so much that I bought the full size version at 10 16 The good news is that suppliers of Dermalogica will where possible fill your travel pack with products specifically recommended for your particular skin review 8 99 SHOP Get what you need plus

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Dermalogica report by Nava of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I ve been reading more and more about Dermalogica products lately They ve been referenced in the fashion mags quite a bit and there are a number of websites that sell the products as well as Dermalogica com They don t accept Internet orders you can call 1 800 831 5150 instead So naturally I was curious Dermalogica is an extensive skin body and hair care line researched and developed by the International Dermal Institute in Los Angeles They combine the latest advances in ingredient technology along with botanicals and other natural ingredients They claim to be remarkably effective and innovative surpassing those outdated time consuming rituals Hey maybe I like to spend extra time pampering myself I ordered a few of the basics through greatskin com They give you the option of ordering three different sizes of each product I opted for the smallest sizes of each Their service was fast and efficient Here s what I chose for my oily combination skin Special Cleansing Gel A soap free foaming cleanser that will remove impurities without stripping moisture It lathered up nicely but left a greasy film on my face and stung my eyes That did not make me happy Multi Active Toner A toner spray containing Lavender Balm Mint and Arnica You might as well spray plain water on your face This product doesn t do much Skin Prep Scrub A very abrasive scrub product containing ground Corn Cob meal It s supposed to gently polish away dead surface cells without overstimulating After one use I woke up with a conspicuous blemish on my cheek Active Moist A lightweight oil free moisturizer Contains silk proteins sage and cucumber Used at night I woke up oily and quite displeased Oil Control Lotion A light lotion with microsponge technology that is supposed to keep shine in check throughout the day I m a sucker for these types of products because I desperately need extra help controlling shine during the day I applied a light layer of the lotion under my regular make up I was reaching for my powder compact less than an hour and a half later A major disappointment After my disappointment with the Dermalogica products I chose I came to the conclusion that they may not be a good choice for women in their thirties and beyond still battling oily skin If you are a teenager or in your twenties there are more aggressive cleansers and treatments in the Dermalogica arsenal that may suit your needs You ve got choices if you re normal to dry as well For me there s always something new to try Happy Shopping review 8 99 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Dermalogica report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I have often wondered about the skin care lines sold and used at salons and spas are they really better than bargain or even department stores brands just because they are used by facialists I recently had the opportunity to try Dermalogica a salon line developed by The International Dermal Institute Dermalogica s claim is that their products contain highly effective ingredients that correct skin problems and restore skin health How different could it be from other lines I decided to try a few of the products to find out for myself Special Cleansing Gel 22 for 8 ounces for all skin types Considering that I typically have terrible luck with cleansers that lather or foam I was pleasantly surprised at how well my normal to dry sensitive skin reacted or rather didn t react to this gel It removed my makeup thoroughly and left my skin feeling clean but not dry or stripped Unless you have very dry skin this is a good but not all that special choice for most skin types Skin Renewal Booster 41 for 1 ounce AHA serum With so many reasonably priced AHA products on the market Alpha Hydrox Neutrogena and Pond s to name a few I find it hard to justify spending what Dermalogica is asking for this product The serum texture is nice but not worth so much money for such a small amount of product If you want a lightweight serum AHA consider Circle of Beauty s All Even AHA Serum 15 at Sears or Alpha Hydrox Enhanced Gel around 9 at drugstores Skin Smoothing Cream 29 for 1 75 ounces For dry sensitive or weather worn skin that needs relief this cream works and feels great It s emollient enough to soothe without being greasy a definite plus for irritated skin Because it only has an SPF 6 level of sun protection I would sooner recommend this as a night cream even in the winter you still need an SPF 15 sunscreen when you are outside Soothing Eye Makeup Remover 15 for 2 ounces Thankfully most cosmetic lines are coming out with eye makeup removers that are actually gentle and effective not painful and stinging This one from Dermalogica is a lightweight alcohol free gel that you work into a light lather with water to remove your mascara and eye makeup I was pleased with how well it worked even on my sensitive eyes Gentle Cream Exfoliant 27 50 for 2 5 ounces With ingredients like AHAs salicylic acid sulfur and peeling enzymes mixed together where does Dermalogica get off naming this product gentle Call me crazy but putting that many chemical peeling and sloughing agents on my face at once sounds scary I braved it it tingled for a minute or so and my skin ended up actually looking fresher and feeling smoother I like the results but I would rather use a regular mask or AHA treatment that has fewer irritants Even though I enjoyed these Dermalogica products they aren t so incredibly unique or different from many other skin care lines With any line buy products that you like and that work for you not ones that simply seem better because they are expensive review 10 10 97 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Dermaculture report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I originally learned about Dermaculture skin care from our Panelist Kiki She uses the facial shampoo and granular scrub and likes them so I thought I d give the line a try Created back in 1937 Dermaculture s main selling point is its history and its celebrity following they figure since the line has been around for so long and is supposedly used by people like Madonna Jodi Foster and Bette Midler it must be good Selling points aside I found these products to be completely average and over priced for what you get This is not to say that the line is all bad because it s not I did enjoy using a couple of the products but they are very similar to other less expensive products I ve tried so I have a hard time recommending them Liquid Cleansing Milk 32 95 for 8 ounces This is a basic mineral oil based cleanser that does a great job of removing makeup but can leave an oily feeling on your skin Even though I tend to like lotion or milky cleansers this one was too oily for me If you have really dry skin you might like it but I can think of a few other cleansers that are much better for dry skin Remede Milky Wash Beauty Without Cruelty Herbal Cream Facial Cleanser RoC 2 en 1 Demaquillant Cleanser Toner In One and Benefit All Types Wash to name a few Facial Shampoo 19 95 for 5 8 ounces I can t believe how much they are charging for a really ordinary foaming cleanser This product is made of water sodium lauryl sulfate a very commonly used detergent cleansing agent found in the majority of mass market facial cleansers preservatives colors and fragrance and what a perfume y fragrance it is It cleaned my face just fine and removed makeup just don t get it near your eyes but it is drying leaving my skin feeling tight and fairly uncomfortable Astringent 14 95 for 8 ounces There are toners at the drugstore and supermarket that will work just as well as this alcohol based one for a lot less money Don t get me wrong I m really not that hung up on price except when these cosmetic companies expect us to pay so much for something so ordinary With two types of alcohol salicylic acid and an antiseptic ingredient this toner is way too strong for my taste Granular Scrub 22 95 for 4 ounce tube I m not sure which ingredient s in this scrub was the culprit but something in here smelled just awful to me Otherwise this is a decent scrub made of water honey almond meal white corn meal barley flour and talc surprisingly free of the chemical ingredients in most of Dermaculture s other products This is yet another of Dermaculture s products that just didn t wow me If you are looking for a good scrub I can think of several Youngblood Papaya Enzyme Scrub Epicuren Discovery Facial Scrub Kiss My Face Organic Jojoba Mint Facial Scrub Remede Sweep that in my opinion do a better job Active Exfoliator Lactic Acid Cream 29 95 for 4 ounces As AHAs go this one is like many others I ve tried Alpha Hydrox Aqua Glycolic BeneFit Avon If you are looking for a basic AHA cream for pretty much any skin type sensitive types should take care with any AHA this one is an okay choice Collagen Moisturizer 22 95 for 2 ounces Of all the Dermaculture products I tried I liked this cream the best It s lightweight oil free absorbs quickly and works well for normal combination or slightly dry skin If you use it during the day however you ll need to layer a sunscreen over the top Enriched Moisturizer 23 95 for 2 ounces For seriously dry skin this cream is very rich with mineral oil beeswax and trace amounts of vitamin E and A For really dry skin it may be fine but it was just too oily for me All in all I was not impressed by Dermaculture and didn t find their products to be special or unique For more information on this line you can call the company in California at 949 673 5151 Dermaculture is currently redesigning their website www

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Dermaculture report by Kiki of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel About two years ago I was reading in Vogue and again in Allure magazine about a skin specialist in Hollywood who gave phenomenal facials Although he doesn t like to associate his business with famous people both articles hinted that you shouldn t be surprised to run into Winona Ryder and other well known actresses I decided to make an appointment on the off chance that I could end up with her poreless perfect skin Over the years I had become wary of skin salons from one too many visits to salons under the name of some great facialist who was never around unless you were a celebrity and his dozen or so disgruntled underpaid inexperienced facialists who often had no concept of whether to extract or not to extract Steven was just what I was looking for He does his own facials leaves barely a mark on my skin so much so that I can go straight back to work and not have to hide in a closet for a week and has the best skin care products from a number of product lines Steven started carrying Dermaculture a few months ago They are products he used to use years ago and they are part of the house line at a salon called The Face Place in Hollywood I bought both products and gave them a try Granular Scrub 35 for 4 oz Not to be confused with Steven s private label product called Granular Cleanser this is another honey clay organic matter type scrub that I actually like For one thing the scrubbies are cornmeal instead of ground up shells and the paste or supporting ingredients hold up well in the shower and smell fantastic I use this scrub a few times a month because the cornmeal feels wonderful against my skin and the product overall smells so good I wish I could eat it The other bonus for me is that it comes in a tube instead of a tub and doesn t have to be stirred every morning Facial Shampoo 38 for 5 75 oz Two words come to mind when I think of this cleanser luxury and consistency This gentle foaming cleaner is the Porsche Boxter of cleansers And I m talking about price as well as performance When I bought this small bottle of liquid cashmere I thought it was a great product Then one morning I happened to look at the price tag and could not believe it At 38 for a little 6 oz bottle I believe it to be horrendously expensive Yet I ve used it very morning for four months and I m almost out It has a superior foaming action and smells like big fluffy pink and white carnations I simply adore this product even though I hate the price The packaging is very French It s a simple clear squeeze bottle that allows you to see the pink cleanser color which makes a nice canvas for displaying the ultra minimalistic simple Facial Shampoo and old fashioned looking dermaculture logo I ll probably break down and buy this again when I run out because there is just something special and intoxicating about this product It is perfect for all skin types too Exceedingly gentle yet effective For more information on Steven Miller and the products he carries like Dermaculture visit his website at http www smsc net SHOP Get what you

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Decleor report by Elaine of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Since 1976 Paris based Decleor has specialized in an extensive line of face and body care as well as limited cosmetics offerings with an emphasis on aromatherapy treatments with fragrant essential oils and phytotherapy healing troubled skin with plant extracts Because I have oily acne prone skin the Decleor products I use are mostly those formulated for my skin type But Decleor also offers firming products to help reduce the appearance of cellulite all over the body special products formulated for men some just for the legs and many for bathtime Luckily I have been able to get samples of almost everything I ve used before shelling out the bucks to buy If you re not sure if this skincare line is right for you I recommend you try to get samples first as many of the products are expensive for the small amount you get Personally I think they re worth the cost but until you know if it works for you I d err on the side of caution Put aside your fears take a deep breath approach the sales associate and ask away Here s the products I use or have used and what I thought about them Phytopeel Face Peel Mask about 32 for 1 7 oz This is definitely one of the weirdest face masks I ve ever tried It was used once on me at the spa and I got a sample of it to take home but I think you ve got to have a lot of patience to use it regularly It contains extracts of elder mallow and burdock as well as lavender marjoram thyme and lemon oils all of which help remove dead cells to give the skin a smoother texture That s all well and good but here s the trick To take off those dead skin cells 1 3X a week you smooth this mask on in a semi thick layer wait for it to dry and remove it by rubbing your face as little shreds of it fall on the floor Or on the sink Or wherever you happen to be standing Weird It s like when glue dries on your fingers and you have to rub it off to remove it Same idea I suppose it works well enough to take off skin cells but after only one try I lost patience with the mess and was glad I hadn t bought it Autobronzant Lumiere Self Tanning Cream SPF 4 about 22 for a 4 2 oz tube After having such good luck with so many Decleor products I gave their self tanner a shot I ve tried high end ones low end ones and everything in between but nothing gave me a true tan color or blended inconspicuously until this one The Decleor self tanner really produces a great reddish brown color thanks to the henna extract in it And it didn t give me the obvious lines of demarcation like many other self tanners do it blends so well that it just kind of fades into non tanned areas of the face body No buildup around the hairline or eyebrows either For those who like a self tanner with SPF this has SPF 4 and UVA UVB filters But be warned It will come off on white or light colored clothing bedsheets if you don t wait long enough for it to dry or if you sweat profusely I got a little discoloration on my feet while wearing strappy shoes and some color rubbed off on my pale blue sweater tank top after a wild night of dancing in a steamy crowded club Purete Exfoliant Exfoliating Face Gel about 25 for 1 69 fl oz This extremely gentle facial exfoliant is one of the products in Decleor s new skin whitening line which is only available at a few salons and stores and in Nordstrom The purete exfoliant has the tiniest finest grains I ve ever felt in a facial scrub and they re suspended in a brown gel creme base that s rich in sweet almond oil but didn t make me break out Some people may find this exfoliant ineffective but that s probably because so many of us are used to harsh scrubs when we should be using gentle exfoliants like this It s applied to a dry face and rubbed in gently in circular motions then water is gradually added until it forms a milky emulsion and finally is rinsed off leaving the face exfoliated but not tight dry or irritated I love this and use it often and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a gentle scrub Soin Regulateur Regulating Gel about 30 for 1 69 fl oz This light cool frighteningly reddish orange gel really helps regulate the skin s oil production Have no fear the gel is colorless when applied Its ingredients include zinc sulfate vitamin A and lemongrass I found that it worked best when used together with the Cr me Regulatrice see below the two products together do the best job of controlling oil that I ve ever seen and after using up my samples I bought both full size products Cr me Regulatrice about 30 for 1 69 fl oz This cream when used together with the Soin Regulateur does a great job of controlling oil production all day long It isn t drying at all but I don t think it would be the best moisturizer for people with drier skins Its ingredients also include zinc sulfate and vitamin A as well as a maize derivative to soothe sensitive skin and extract of iris germanica which has astringent properties Decleor products are available at a number of large department stores including Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue and at many spas worldwide You can reach Decleor s U S

about them Gel Demaquillant Regulateur Regulating Cleansing Gel about 30 for 8 4 oz This refreshing cleansing gel contains floral waters of witch hazel linden and Panama wood extracts It cleanses without drying out delicate skin but I only use this on summer mornings when I usually feel especially oily I think it might be too drying in colder weather Lotion Regulatrice Regulating Toner about 25 for 8 4 oz This light toner also includes floral waters of witch hazel as well as lichen extracts It soothes and decongests irritated skin removing traces of dirt and makeup without stripping your skin of its natural oils or making your face feel tight I also only use this on warm weather mornings and occasionally at night after cleansing SOS Regulateur Regulating Gel 25 This is an effective spot treatment for blemishes When applied thickly and left to dry overnight it zaps zits without being too drying But you only get a tiny tube about 0 75 oz or the size of a tube of Clearsil Aromessence Visage Ylang Ylang Natural Ylang Ylang Oil about 55 for half an ounce I know what you re thinking Put more oil on my already oily face Are you nuts But it really does work A blend of essential oils of ylang ylang geranium Rosemary St Thomas Bay and hazelnut this facial oil helps regulate skin s oil production and balances skin tone Only a small amount about 4 drops covers the face and neck area and the aroma is so soothing and heavenly One bottle lasts a really really long time I use this in the morning and at night but it might not work well under everyone s makeup in the morning It drastically cut down the number of times I have to blot off my facial oil during the day and it s made my skin much less red and more even toned Aromessence Visage Neroli Natural Neroli Oil about 55 for half an ounce Essential oils of petitgrain neroli sandalwood sage parsley seed and hazelnut oil Also non greasy this aromessence oil helps reduce skin sensitivity It s moisturizing as opposed to the Ylang Ylang s oil absorbing properties and this makes it ideal for use in cold weather I used it from October March and still have a little over half a bottle left I only use this oil very sparingly at night when my skin is wind whipped or really dried out from spending time outdoors Baume Essentiel Essential Face Balm about 52 for 1 oz Meant to be used very sparingly before bedtime only on oily skin Baume Essentiel is a super rich balm made of beeswax and essential oils of basil chamomile and neroli plus hazelnut plant oil and something called Tonka bean resinoid It smells divine and when smoothed over the face and neck it decongests the pores and soothes irritated skin I don t know how they do it but after using this over the Ylang Ylang oil my skin is clearer and more supple than it was when I was about 12 years old I am constantly amazed by how well the combination of these products has kept my skin clear balanced and blemish free Masque a l Argile et aux Herbes Clay and Herbal Mask about 30 for 50 ml tube Designed for use 1 3 times a week this gentle oil absorbing facial mask is composed of green clay extracts of peach chamomile horsetail and ginseng It sucks dirt grime and excess oil from your pores and leaves your skin soft and soothed I find that this mask is much gentler than many drugstore brand clay mud masks and it definitely smells better than most but it s not a miracle product For the price it should be Decleor products are available at a number of large department stores including Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue and at many spas

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Decleor report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel This will come as no surprise to any of you but I feel the need to share anyway I love cosmetics Even better I love the feeling of walking into a department store and discovering a new line This week on a routine shopping trip to my local Nordstrom I stumbled upon our brand new Decleor botanical skin and body care counter Much like Clarins Decleor is a French line that incorporates the concept of aromatherapy through plant oils in all their products Naturally I was curious so I purchased a travel sized kit 36 for normal skin to see what Decleor could really do Here s what I found Velvet Cleansing Milk If you like lotion cleansers and you have more normal to dry or dry skin you ll like this one It removes makeup well rinses away easily and leaves the skin feeling soft and supple and it smells nice I would definitely buy this in the full size 24 for 8 4 ounces Lotion Tonique Demo Florale toner This is a fairly standard alcohol free toner chock full of botanicals like corn poppy extract mallow extract and sage extract fine for any skin type Aromessence Visage Neroli for normal skin Decleor s entire philosophy about skin care revolves around these aromessence oils which are supposed to penetrate into your skin to do everything from moisturize to regulate oil production Basically whichever of the four aromessence oils you choose you are still putting a mixture of plant oils on your skin Can they really program your skin to act a certain way I seriously doubt it but if you have dry skin that is not prone to breakouts they do feel nice and can relieve dryness and flakiness For oily skin it s hard to get past the notion that adding more oil to your skin is somehow supposed to help Soin du Matin Day Hydrating Cream This is a pretty basic cream for normal or normal to dry skin that unfortunately lacks any kind of sun protection making it a poor choice for daytime wear The texture is nice but I d have a hard time spending 30 for a day cream with no sunscreen Soin du Soir Soothing Night Cream Again this is an ordinary cream for normal or normal to dry skin Additional plant oils make it only slightly more moisturizing than the day cream so for dry skin you ll probably need something more emollient like their Hydratation Vitale All in all I liked testing these Decleor products but considering that many of them are fairly basic it s difficult to justify spending upwards of 30 40 and higher Decleor is good about sampling however so

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Darphin report by Adele of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel After reviewing the Darphin skincare for the face I have since tried their body range I haven t quoted any prices this time as I have since found out they differ quite substantially in different countries Make no mistake Darphin is not a cheap and cheerful range however it is good to treat yourself once in a while If you keep dropping the name into conversations with your nearest and dearest they may just get the hint after all Christmas is not far off The body products I tried are great for a night in pampering or a real feel good start to the day These are all what I would call the basic essentials as there are a good few other products that address specific problems Here we go Aromatic Exfoliating Body Cream This is a speckled blue paste and a little goes a long way It should be used on slightly damp skin and rubbed in circular upward movements from ankle to hip and from hip to chest and so on not the face It smells healthy and once you have rinsed it off you feel fresh and ready for your bath or shower I really like this product Silhouette Tonic Bath Oil This is very concentrated and a couple of drops in the bath are more than enough You can also use this oil directly on your skin before you bathe shower I actually used it after exfoliating I wiped off excess water and massaged the oil onto my legs which are particularly dry and over the hip area The oil is a natural toner and firmer at my thirtysomething age I ll try any firming product Seaweed Aromatic Bath Gel This is ocean blue in colour as opposed to what you might expect with seaweed extract It also contains lemon and together the ingredients create a significant but not strong feel good scent Again a little goes a long way so it will last Aromatic Hydroactive Body Lotion This is silky smooth and contains aloe It is very easy to massage into the skin and has the same lovely scent as the bath shower gel Unfortunately I didn t think it was rich enough on its own for the drier skin on my legs which need extra help Aromatic Beauty Body Spray This is gorgeous with passionflower gentian and witch hazel It is refreshing and not overpowering and can be sprayed all over your body It will last the whole day and puts the final touches to your mini pampering As you may have gathered I am definitely hooked on Darphin at the moment and the response from many of you who have now tried the facial products indicates that you may be too SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Darphin report by Adele of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Darphin is a range created in 1958 by Pierre Darphin a dermatologist from Paris He worked in conjunction with a biochemist and a beauty therapist to develop a skin treatment range to suit women of all ages If you love the thought of getting pampered but time does not permit a visit to the Spa then Darphin skincare is in my opinion the next best thing It is a range based on the benefits of aromatherapy it feels good smells gorgeous and treats your skin Using it over a two week period I noticed my skin appeared brighter than it had been in a long time For my skin condition I was recommended the following face products which I loved using Vitalskin Aromatic Cleansing Milk 40 for 200ml Ginseng pineapple and lemon make this milk a real pleasure to use It leaves your skin feeling clean and smooth If you prefer using a cleanser with water there is an alternative called Cleansing Emulsion 40 for 125ml It is very similar in consistency and has the same fresh scent and the only difference being that you rinse it off your skin this one suited me better Vitalskin Aromatic Toner 40 for 200ml This is No 1 in my list of top ten toners If I had to buy only one product from the range this would be it It is infused with rose and calendula oils and contains ingredients from plants like Gingko Biloba known for their healing properties The toner is a rich amber colour and the moment I applied it to my skin I felt uplifted by the smell and my skin felt very soothed and clean Arovita Cream 115 for 50ml This has the signature scent as the cleanser and comes in a rich lemon coloured cream It is very rich in texture so I preferred to use this as a night cream as it added to the overall soothing effect that the range provides I would use it as a day cream in the winter when my skin is drier Vital Protection Day Fluid 75 for 50ml This is my other favourite product from the range It contains extracts of Aloe and Vitamin E with a Sun Protection Factor of 15 You only need a small amount of the fluid and it sinks deep into the skin leaving a matte finish a perfect base for foundation Darphin suggest that Vital Protection Fluid can be used over the top of your moisturiser as an added protection in the sun or when your skin is particularly dry or dehydrated Vitaserum 40 for Eyes 55 for 15ml This is a concentrated treatment for the eyes and is Darphin s top seller It is designed to make your eye area brighter by getting rid of toxins and dark circles When I tried it for the first time I immediately felt the soothing effect on the eyes Over a two week period of use I noticed my eye area a bit brighter but no startling results however using it day and night over a longer period of time may bring more rewarding results I ll let you know Although there are a few skincare companies whose philosophy is based on the benefits of aromatherapy I haven t found one that suited my skin as much as Darphin Some products in the range are expensive but I can honestly say that I haven t found anything that compares with the luxurious and soothing effect achieved by using these It is definitely worth going to a Darphin counter where you will be given a skin consultation and given sample size products recommended for your personal skin condition If you are interested in trying the range and need help in finding a Darphin outlet in your area please email me and I can give you details I hope to try the Darphin bodycare products and cosmetics

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Club Monaco report by the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel It seems that by now everyone has heard of this line or at least of the Glaze lipstick made famous by Monica Lewinsky I set out on a mission to find out if this line has more to offer the true cosmetic connoisseur I was pleasantly surprised Club Monaco offers a full line of cosmetic products and has also recently added a skincare line The cosmetic line is designed by New York based makeup artist Denise Markey The products offer a clean modern and simple approach to beauty I was told that the products are designed to be simple to use for the average consumer they are not designed with only makeup artists in mind The packaging of Club Monaco Cosmetics is simple and frosted It gives the appearance of the product itself floating on ice Okay now for the products Club Monaco offers three foundation formulations liquid oil free and wet dry Each type of foundation is available in wide range fifteen shades Eight of the shades are neutral actually warm and seven are beige slightly cooler All of the shades are quite natural none are too pink or too orange The liquid foundation provides natural medium coverage and is a bit hydrating It would work for all skin types as it is not heavy or greasy on the skin The oil free also a liquid packaged similarly to the regular liquid is a bit more lightweight and provides a matte finish I liked the fact that the finish was matte but lightweight So many matte finish foundations are chalky and mask like but this one was not This formulation is also non comedogenic Finally the wet dry is a versatile powder foundation which provides a semi matte finish Club Monaco also offers a concealer in eleven different shades This is a tube concealer which is smooth silky and easily blended Pressed and loose powders are also available in five translucent shades Of course Club Monaco also offers their extensive collection of eyeshadows both powders and eye greases lipsticks and blushes which is updated seasonally My personal picks from the line Liquid Makeup in Neutral 1 Loose Powder in Enhancer 1 a pale yellow Pressed Powder in Finale 2 Bronzer in Bronze 1 a perfect pinky bronze Eye Grease in Gild a shimmery ivory gold Lipstick in Kiss shimmery sheer plum bronze Lipstick in Beam a bit more plummy than Kiss also shimmery Overall this is an up and coming line of cosmetics definitely worth checking out The line can be found at eve com SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Clinique Liquid Lipstick report by Lisa L of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Despite the fact that I need another shade of lipstick like I need a hole in the head and what makeup enthusiast does sheer WANT drove me to the Clinique counter to investigate their new SPF 15 Liquid Lipstick 12 50 On the whole I Like Liquid Lipstick I like the semi opaque semi glossy finish it provides because I usually find that traditional lipgloss tries to crawl off my lips and onto areas of my face that it does not belong I have been using Rouge Pulp by L Oreal since it came out with good success and with it s user friendly price tag I could afford to buy more than one While I sometimes found that the coverage was a bit uneven I was willing to work with it because the colors were so nice I wasn t sure how different the formulations of Liquid Lipstick could be so I admit I initially cringed when I forked over twice as much moo la for the Clinique than what I would pay for the L Oreal But my quest for cosmetic perfection reminded me that if I didn t like it I could tell the loyal readers of The Cosmetic Connection of my dismay Boy was I suprised This formula is really wonderful The color I chose was Plushy a nice pinky mauve that looks natural with a little va voom The neat thing about the Clinique Liquid Lipstick that sets it apart from the competition is the way it melts into your lips and covers evenly The SPF is also a really nice bonus As usual my only complaint was the limited color selection the colors offered were nice mind you I just would like to see more of them All in all a really nice product that is worth the price Go on girl you know you need another lipcolor review 9 24 99 SHOP Get what you need plus save

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Clinique Liquid Lipstick report by Sandi of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I haven t tried anything Clinique in a very long time Liquid Lipstick sounded like an oxymoron but what the heck I was curious Off to the Clinique counter I went I was given a choice of eight colors from the nude tawny pink and violet families I chose Teddy Bear from the nude family I told the salesperson that I wanted to go coral this fall and she seemed to think Teddy Bear was the one I think she was really motivated to get me out of there because I was having trouble making up my mind When I tried Teddy Bear for the second time she went in for the close It worked I bought it On me Teddy Bear looked like a shiny dark pink brown I ended up thinking it would be OK for evening but was a bit much for daytime The staying power was not spectacular I wore it through a Pilates work out session and at the end it was still there but barely I found of course it lasted longer when I first lined and filled in my entire lip area with liner Liquid Lipstick comes in a tube with a wand like a gloss but is too thick to be a gloss I found it hard to control I like to cover my entire lip area including the corners so I ended up having to use my finger to spread it I could have used a lip brush but find that cumbersome especially when reapplying throughout the day I definitely didn t like it for touch ups Plusses SPF 15 sun protection and it s only 12 50 I give it a rating of 1 5 stars out of 4 You can see the colors at http www clinique com

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Clinique Acne Solutions report by Nava of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I ve read in several fashion mags the ridiculous statistic that a bottle of Clinique s Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion is sold every four seconds My question is why Granted I am slightly jealous of the women who are able to use that ubiquitous yellow lotion I on the other hand would morph into a gigantic pimple That would happen on a good day That s not saying I ve kept myself from trying Clinique s other skin care offerings I m a veteran of Facial Soap Extra Strength Clarifying Lotion 2 Turn Around Oil Free Lotion etc etc The mere mention of a gift with purchase sends me scurrying to the mall without fail This time I thought I had a good reason As I dutifully stood in line for my latest gift with purchase I ll give credit where its due those cute little bags are a vast improvement I was excited about the new Acne Solutions line They ve finally come up with something better than frying your face with Industrial Strength Clarifying Lotion 13 But sadly the products were less than spectacular Cleansing Foam 16 50 for a 4 2 oz bottle I like these new liquid to foam cleansers The concept is terrific but in Clinique s case the results were poor Their version is loaded down with irritating chemicals including a whopping 1 salicylic acid The packaging even suggests cutting down your usage to once every other day to avoid irritation What would be the point Besides it barely removed my make up Antibacterial Facial Soap 8 50 for a 5 2 oz bar The insert provided with all Acne Solutions products suggests that you are to use this soap following the Cleansing Foam Are we to believe we will have any skin left on our face after washing with both these products What s the point of using two cleansers when one should be sufficient This soap is also recommended for acne on the chest and back To me this is a more realistic idea than washing your face with two potentially irritating medicated products I ve relegated my bar to the shower where I will use it exclusively on my back and chest not on my face Night Treatment Gel 15 50 for a 1 7 oz tube Surprisingly this product is touted as non irritating and nondrying Let me get this straight I m supposed to irritate the heck out of my oily face by washing it twice then slather on this gel which is supposed lessen my oil production and reduce the occurrence of pimples Is there a bridge somewhere Clinique is trying to sell me I awoke in the AM oily and perturbed Spot Healing Gel 11 00 for a 1 2 oz bottle The day I purchased these products I sprouted two medium sized blemishes on my jaw I was excited that I d have someplace to apply my Spot Healing Gel After four faithful applications I m sorry to report that my pimples are alive and well the surrounding skin angry and red with irritation The most shocking part of my experience with Clinique s newest line is the hype they expect consumers to believe To quote directly from their product insert under the heading Who should use Acne Solutions Since the causes of both teenage acne and adult acne are the same excess oil pumped up by hormones or stress and trapped in a clogged pore the same weapons work equally effectively for everyone What a bunch of malarkey Unfortunately Clinique s Acne Solutions were a doomed experiment in my quest for hope in a jar I ll just have to find something else to qualify for their gift with purchase Happy Shopping SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Clinique Superfit makeup report by Lisa L of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Let me start by saying that I love Clinique Their 2 Clarifying Lotion and Double Fudge lipstick are products I have been using since my teen years I never grow tired of them However I really don t like foundation all that much and only use it when I must so I wasn t expecting to fall in love with Superfit 18 50 I must admit though I was much more impressed than I thought I would be Superfit is a medium coverage transfer resistant foundation that has all sorts of vitamin goodies that skin supposedly likes I asked the woman at the Clinique counter for a sample in shell to try for a few days and as usual she gladly obliged and jokingly made me promise to buy it from her if I decided to purchase it side note In my experience Clinique Reps are some of the nicest in the industry I found that this foundation went on very very smoothly and evenly covered nicely and had a fairly matte finish which I personally prefer because my T zone is out of control in the summer It stayed on all day and washed off easily with my regular cleanser Anew Ultraforce It didn t irritate my skin at all and made a great canvas for my color cosmetics In short it did all the great things a foundation is supposed to do The only thing I noticed which might be problematic was the color selection if your skin is very pale or very dark matching might be difficult Also if you have very dry skin sometimes transfer resistant foundation isn t the best choice ask for a sample before you buy and make your decision accordingly SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics SPONSOR

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Clinique report by Deanna of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Although I have several friends who swear by Clinique products to be completely honest I haven t been a fan of the Clinique line since the early 1980s I found the skin care line too astringent and drying for my skin Also the limited foundation color palette was equally disappointing However I have heard so much about their two new products Superfit Makeup and Stop Signs an anti aging serum I had to give them a try Superfit Foundation 18 50 Superfit Makeup comes in 10 colors and is oil and fragrance free It does contain in small quantities isostearyl palmitate a comedogenic ingredient Because of this ingredient I cannot recommend this product for people who have particularly sensitive skin prone to breakouts And as usual few of the foundation shades will be suitable for women of color However I settled on Nutty a warm beige brown Although it was not a perfect match I was able to blend it so there would be no harsh lines at the jaw I must admit I was pleasantly surprised with this product The foundation went on smooth and provided good coverage for my few problem areas which included during my testing time a small bruise acquired during softball practice Not only did it give good coverage it was able to last an entire ten hour day of the current eastern seaboard heat and humidity wave with only one touch up The other thing that surprised me was that the product really was practically transfer free I didn t get makeup all over my clothes as I am apt to do during this time of the year due to my oily skin type Now if Clinique would just expand the color palette Stop Signs 32 50 I was so happy with the Superfit Makeup I thought the Stop Signs Anti aging serum would be a winner too Stop Signs is a product that supposedly when used over a moisturizer lessens the appearance of lines and wrinkles reduces the appearance of discoloration and helps prevent further environmental damage to the skin It should not be used around the eyes at all which was a little disappointing since that is where currently most of my lines are It feels good and has good slip A little goes a long way in fact 3 5 drops does the entire face and neck So when I used it over Clinique s Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion I expected dramatic results Unfortunately this was not the case After three weeks of use my skin does feel and look a little smoother and my forehead lines appear a little better but the areas of discoloration I have driver s side UV damage are not improved at all Also since it is difficult to measure whether I have reduced the amount of continuing damage to my skin I don t really know if Stop Signs is living up to that promise Unfortunately I can t recommend Stop Signs with any amount of enthusiasm In my opinion it s just an expensive feel good item SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Clinique Superfit Foundation Let me start off by stating that I thought for sure that I would dislike this product I often have trouble finding a good color match in Clinique foundations and I always dislike foundations which are touted as long lasting I was truly surprised and delighted when I tried this foundation First of all it comes in many yellow toned natural looking shades I selected Shell and it was an almost perfect match The texture of this foundation is light and creamy It blends very easily unlike most long lasting formulations Once blended it dries to a natural semi matte finish It covers imperfections well but it is not heavy or cakey looking It also lasted all day on my oily skin I would definitely recommend this foundation for those with oily skin dry skin types may want to get a sample first Stop Signs Stop Signs is one of the latest additions to Clinique s skincare collection It has been hyped by the company as an anti aging treatment that helps lessen the look of existing lines reduce the appearance of skin discolorations and forestall future skin damage caused by the environment Since I recently celebrated my thirtieth birthday and I have started to see fine lines around my eyes and since I received a tiny free sample bottle of this product in the mail I decided to give it a try In its full size packaging this liquid serum is in a small bottle with an eye dropper type lid obviously the idea is that only a few drops are needed When I first applied this product to my face I noticed that it was thin and slightly sticky The stickiness however disappeared in a few seconds when the product dried Stop Signs is not a moisturizing product it diminishes lines by creating a tightening of the skin If your skin is dry you should certainly use a moisturizer before using this product Did Stop Signs work In one way yes The tightening effect did make my fine lines less noticeable temporarily I do not feel that the product reduced skin discoloration and I can t really tell if it would prevent or forestall future damage mainly because the quantity of product in the sample did not allow me to observe these things SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT This week s

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Clinique report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Yet another sample courtesy of the Clinique web site this time for their brand new Long Last Soft Shine Lipstick This new formula from Clinique is part of the next wave in lipsticks that are long wearing like the ultra mattes ColorStay Colour Endure but not as dry or cakey After wearing the tester for upwards of four hours I must say it was pretty long wearing Long Last Soft Shine goes on like regular lipstick and really feels like regular lipstick I found that lightly blotting the top layer of moisture off helped the staying power considerably I even test drove it on my husband s cheek no imprint Could this be a winner Try it for yourself Clinique always seems to be coming out with something new Their Exceptionally Soothing Lotion or cream for Upset Skin is supposed to be a treatment product to relieve red itchy patches on sensitive skin I tried both the lotion and the cream and I can t say that either one really helped relieve any itchy or red spots on my skin that much With the main ingredient being hydrocortisone which can be found in your average over the counter drugstore itch lotion I m not sure why Clinique believes their 30 formula is so much better Clinique has actually been liberal with sample packets of this product so if you have sensitive skin I d say try it for yourself and see if you think it s worth 30 During my recent test of self tanners for my final product I chose Clinique Self Tanning Body Balm US 14 50 on the recommendation of the saleswoman that it would be the most natural looking of their self tanning products Most of their others she said result in fairly dark color that might not suit someone who either hasn t tanned before or who has fair skin I really wanted to find something subtle that I could wear on my face and all over when I need just a little color and that wouldn t scream LOOK AT MY TAN That s just what I got with this product The pump dispenser is great for easy application and the balm itself is more moisturizing than most self tanning lotions I ve tried which is nice for a drier skin If you already tan you can also use this product as a daily moisturizer to soften your skin and help prolong your tan While I was at the Clinique counter picking out my self tanning balm I realized I was still looking for a good reasonably priced eye makeup remover that is gentle enough for contact lens wearers Was I ever disappointed with Rinse off Eye Makeup Remover US 11 I ve tried ones that have a slight tingle but this was an awful burning sensation that was definitely not what I had in mind as gentle What actually amazed me the most was the complete lack of surprise from the Clinique salesperson when I told her why I was returning it as if she expected it would burn like that Run don t walk from this product SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Clinique report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Talk about an Internet success story The most recent sample I acquired from Clinique was actually an invitation from the Clinique web site to try their new products All you do is go to the Clinique web site and follow the links to new products Just by giving them your name and email address you can get a personalized print out to take to the Clinique counter near you for your free samples The first sample I got was their new City Base Compact Foundation SPF 15 a cream to powder foundation in a compact The sample was pretty tiny but lasted a long time Unfortunately I didn t like the product enough to even finish the sample Maybe it is because I am a loyal MAC Studio Fix user but this product just didn t cut it for me It reminded me of why I don t like most liquid or cream foundations The City Base was a bit greasy did not cover dark under eye circles even with repeated layering and it didn t set very well Both days I tried the product I ended up dusting a thin layer of Studio Fix over the top just to get rid of the shine Sorry Clinique I appreciate the free sample but no thumbs up here As usual I managed to get more than just one sample that day The second sample I got was All About Lips Clinique s new lip treatment product I asked about it when I got my foundation sample and they just gave it to me I have yet to find our what exactly is in this product Clinique claims you can use it all around the lip area to smooth the skin and reduce fine lines I m pretty sure it has salicylic acid Clinique s favorite exfoliator which I do not care for I have used the sample for two days morning and night and I m not sure if it doing anything It does feel nice and absorb quickly My lips do feel softer but that could just be a moisturizing effect I can t see purchasing this product since it has yet to do anything that a normal lip balm wouldn t do SHOP Get

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Clinique report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Even though I tried Clinique several years ago and did not like it I thought the time was right to give it another shot So much for that idea I still can t use their 3 Step System of soap Clarifying Lotion and Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion The first two steps are way too harsh for my skin and the moisturizer makes me break out Now don t get me wrong I think Clinique has some fine products it s just that I can t use them I have a friend who swears by Clinique and would never dream of using anything else so to that I say good for her When I approached the Clinique counter this time I was looking for an AHA product that actually works I had tried one from Garden Botanika and was not impressed which incidentally was shocking to me considering that I ve been happy with most of their products Anyway the woman at the Clinique counter really seemed to know her stuff hooray and was very good at determining my skin type and needs I collected some samples and promised to let her know what I thought So what did I think of the products Here s a list of the samples I got plus how I feel about them Turnaround Cream This product felt nice going on but ended up being too harsh for my skin The active ingredient that makes the product an AHA type product is salicylic acid the same stuff used in acne medication This approach at AHAs did not work for me Clinique claims that the reason they use salicylic acid instead of lactic or glycolic acid true AHAs is that they have not been proven safe and effective according to Clinique s standards They can believe whatever they want but I know what I like and their salicylic acid product is not it Turnaround Cream for Dry Skin I feel the same about this version of the product as I do about the original version mentioned above I didn t feel any difference between the two and I found that whatever extra moisturizers they put in this version did not cure the excessive dryness that I experienced from the salicylic acid Gentle Exfoliator 13 50 for 5 4oz tube This is the one product from Clinique s skin care that I could actually use The consistency was nice and the tiny waxy beads were not harsh or gritty If I didn t already have a full container of my favorite scrub from Garden Botanika I might have considered this product SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT This

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Clarins report by Melinda of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel When I saw the ad for the latest foundation from Clarins Ultra Satin 16 in one of my women s magazines I knew I had to run right out and get a sample Well not only did I get a sample but I bought a bottle of the stuff I ve been using it for over a month now and am very happy with it The benefits are Coverage that looks sheer and light but is still decent at evening out skin tone and covering blemishes A nice smell always a must Anti pollution complex to protect against free radicals from pollution etc Clarins claims this is exclusive to them but many designer foundations contain either some sort of sunscreen or anti pollution ingredient Additionally Clarins Ultra Satin Foundation has a creamy but light texture which is equally easy to apply with sponge provided in the box or fingers I prefer applying foundation with my fingers as most of it seems to disappear into the sponge rather than on my face The only complaint I have is that there is a limited range of shades five or six which is very limited in today s market I hope Clarins has plans to bring out more shades I m a pale blonde and the 01 shade the lightest was barely a match for me Note It is important to gently shake the bottle every now and then as if you don t you ll get a bit of separation in the foundation between the colour and the clear liquid oil Or water All in all a good foundation choice for those of us with less than perfect skin who nevertheless want to adopt the latest trend for

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Clarins report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Multi Active Day Cream 45 for a 1 7 ounce jar After my terrific complimentary Clarins mini facial a few weeks ago I got to take home a few samples of their Multi Active Day Cream to try at home Despite the fact that I can t see myself spending over 40 for a moisturizer the Multi Active Day Cream was a nice product that is lightly moisturizing and leaves a semi matte finish For someone with slightly oily or combination skin this cream could be a good choice It doesn t deliver much sun protection however only SPF 5 or 6 For overall texture moisturizing benefits and sun protection I still like Kiehl s Ultra Facial Moisturizer SPF 13 or Lancome Bienfait Total SPF 15 better Body Lift 45 for about 8 ounces As many of you know I m not much of a believer in miracle creams that claim to lift firm and erase everything we don t like about our bodies Even so I am always intrigued by the advertisements for Clarins Body Lift a cream gel that is supposed to diminish the appearance of cellulite Of course Clarins tells you right in the product literature that a healthy diet and regular exercise are key to seeing real change but I was curious about what this gel could do by itself I have a pretty healthy diet but I hate to exercise so I felt like a good candidate to try Body Lift for myself After two weeks of using the product samples on my target area my skin is smoother like it would be with a good moisturizer but that s about it Body Lift does have a refreshing citrus fragrance and a tingling feeling on the skin to make you think it s working but I have yet to see any significant lifting or firming I do plan to continue using the product for a full month to see if there are any better results but at this point I m not convinced enough to spend 45 on a moisturizer Self Tanning Milk with SPF 6 25 After deciding to actually take the plunge and try a self tanning lotion on my dreadfully pale skin I figured I might as well start with the one that I heard was the best Clarins Self Tanning Milk with SPF 6 Every magazine has had it as an Editor s Choice product and every reader s poll I ve read on sun products puts Clarins at the top of the heap Now I know why Of all the sunless tanning lotions I tried the Clarins lotion made my skin look like I d just been on holiday in the Bahamas a smooth golden brown like I have never seen before Being as fair as I am the closest I typically come to a real tan is lobster red Clarins is also different from other brands in that it comes in only one color so it tans your skin according to how dark you are naturally and you can build from there to the color you want I found it really easy to apply and it smells terrific A definite winner Self Tanning Face Cream with SPF 15 25 If I m going to tan my body with the Tanning Milk I can t let my face stay pale right Again this is another fabulous tanning product from Clarins This face cream is practically identical to the tanning milk for the body just with better SPF protection if you do go outside It also has a terrific sultry aroma and gorgeous brown color that starts light to allow you to build to the shade you want If you are as self tan shy as I was this product is a great choice that will make you change your mind Beauty Flash Balm 30 Much like Prescriptives Flight Cream Beauty Flash Balm is a combination quick intensive hydrator and complexion brightener For seriously dehydrated or just plain dull looking skin you can apply Beauty Flash Balm as a 10 15 treatment mask or a thin layer under your makeup for an instant pick me up It makes your skin feel softer and look more radiant Use it on your next airplane flight you ll notice an

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Clarins report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Clarins cleanser With most of the cosmetic counters I visit getting samples is like pulling teeth Clarins was entirely different The woman who helped me wouldn t let me leave the store without what seemed like every sample they had Be sure to check back frequently for updates to this page since I got too many products to review in just one week Clarins has a large selection of products to choose from not just one set routine per skin type so it helps to know your skin and exactly what you are looking for The important thing to remember with Clarins and with just about any skincare line for that matter is that the proof is in your skin If a product says it s for oily skin but it is heavy and greasy it may not be the best choice For this reason it is refreshing that Clarins is so liberal with distributing their samples Extra Comfort Cleansing Cream for dry or sensitized skin 29 for a 7 ounce jar During this time of year I always prefer a creamy or milky cleanser over one that foams because it keeps the moisture in your skin better This cream did everything a cleanser should it removed all my makeup it rinsed off easily and it felt good on my skin A large pea sized amount is just right to cleanse your whole face Even though the label says it s for sensitive skin if you have normal normal to dry dry or sensitive skin this would be a good choice Beware that it does have a slight fragrance in case you are scent sensitive Toning Lotion for dry skin 21 for an 8 4 ounce bottle Even if you don t have dry skin this is a good soothing alcohol and witch hazel free non irritating toner If you are sensitive to fragrance check this one first before you buy it smells rather lemony Hydration Plus Moisture Lotion for all skin types 27 for a 1 7 ounce bottle This lotion is light and absorbs fairly quickly making it quite good for just about all skin types If your skin is very dry you might be happier with something a bit more emollient than this Beware that this lotion has a similar lemony fragrance as the toning lotion in case you are scent sensitive This lotion also comes in an SPF 15 version which I think would be better for daytime wear Revitalizing Moisture Mask 27 for a 1 7 ounce tube Although they didn t have a pre packaged sample of this product the salesperson was nice enough to make one up for me If you have dehydrated skin that needs a soothing moisture boost this 15 minute mask works great It has a similar plumping effect on the skin as BeneFit s Seaweed Mud Mask that makes your face feel full of moisture Cleansing Milk with Gentian 25 for an 8 6 ounce bottle This cleanser proves that product labels aren t always 100 accurate even though the label says for combination or oily skin it worked great on my slightly dry sensitive skin with no dryness or irritation If your skin really is combination or oily try a sample first to see if works for you It does have a very strong powdery fragrance in case you are particular about scents All in all it removes makeup well rinses off easily and one tiny sample bottle lasts at least 3 days I got five days out of mine even using it morning and night Multi Active Night Lotion 48 for a 1 7 ounce bottle I am not one to believe in miracle treatments or amazing results from a lotion but I really did notice a difference in my skin after using this product for just 7 days My skin looks smoother has more natural color and feels firmer around my cheeks and under my eyes My best advice about this product is to get a sample first You can only know if it s worth buying if you try it Gentle Day Cream for sensitive skin 37 50 for a 1 7 ounce jar This cream is a bit expensive but it really made my sensitive skin feel comfortable and protected It is a cream not lotion so it is a little thick but it disappears quickly into the skin For people with sensitive skin the effectiveness of a product is really subjective depending on what sensitivities you have so try this one out before you buy it to see if it even works for you Gentle Eye Make up Remover Lotion 16 50 for a 4 4 ounce bottle After experiencing this eye makeup remover as an eye refresher treatment at a Clarins mini facial I decided to give it a try It has a nice rosewater fragrance and removes eye makeup thoroughly and quickly Since it contains no oil there s no greasy residue and it doesn t irritate even if you wear contact lenses My one problem with this product didn t come until after I had been using it for about four days almost a third of the bottle is gone already Even though I try to be sparing it s way too easy to use too much and go through the bottle very quickly At over 16 a bottle I m not sure this is worth the extra money over something like Garden Botanika or Origins which also work well for 10 or less SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion

REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Calvin Klein Cosmetics report by Nava of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Not many people realize that Calvin Klein had another line of makeup in the early 80 s The compacts were these burgundy oval plastic things and the colors weren t especially memorable or enduring Since everything old manages to become new again lately with particular emphasis on the 1980s Klein s original makeup would hardly qualify as charmingly retro It wasn t that good to begin with Enter Calvin Klein Cosmetics for the millennium Totally redesigned Lucite and mirrored packaging housing neutral colors When the line debuted at my local Nordstrom store I had to elbow my way through the throngs to get to the self service display Here s what I managed to score Concealer in Fair 17 for a 21 oz tube I ve been on something of a concealer quest lately and I couldn t resist this one The clear tube and sponge applicator packaging makes it portable and the coverage isn t bad either I ve been using it faithfully under my eyes and it doesn t cake or streak Lip Gloss in Icicle Moonbeam and Pink Whisper 17 each for 21 oz tubes After perusing the vast array of lipsticks I settled on these three glosses The majority of the lipsticks were too brown or orange for my skin tone These glosses suited me perfectly Icicle is a frosty white shimmer that you can use over darker lipsticks for shine and sparkle It also works well on its own It gives my lips a clear shimmer and allows enough of my natural lip color to peek through Pink Whisper is a shimmering rosy pink and Moonbeam is a darker shimmery rosy brown Eye Shadow in Woodviolet Woodrose and Pink Opal 15 each Again the emphasis is on neutrals and these three colors sort of called out to me Woodviolet is a grayish brown violet that can go on sheer as a subtle shadow or dark as a liner It really makes my green eyes pop Woodrose is a lighter taupe y rose shade Pink Opal is a shimmering beige y pink that works well as a highlighter for both these shades I found these shadows to be long lasting and they did not crease noticeably during extended wear Blush in Bare and Rosebud 24 each Two all purpose rosy but not too pink shades Bare is a bit browner and can be used in place of a bronzer on really fair skin that does not tan Rosebud is brighter with a peachier tone These blushes are quite similar in consistency to Cargo s They go on very sheer and will not cause that racing stripe effect down the sides of your face Oil Control Hydrator 30 for a 1 7 oz bottle There is a minimalist line of skin care products to go along with the makeup Since I gravitate towards anything that promises to control my oil this was an automatic purchase Honestly I ve been very happy with it Used under my normal foundation this product provides hydration and manages to keep my skin matte I wouldn t leave my powder compact behind but this is a good basic under makeup moisturizer My one complaint about Calvin Klein makeup is the lack of choices for someone with a fair rosy toned complexion Most of the colors are too brown or orange There is no shortage of options if you are able to wear those colors so get to Nordstrom s or Saks Fifth Avenue and check this line out immediately If your coloring is similar to mine road test the shades carefully before purchasing them Happy Shopping review 3 00 SHOP Get

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Chantecaille report by Elaine of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Not long ago a display for a new brand of cosmetics popped up in a small glass cube right near the entrance of my local Neiman Marcus Lipsticks eye shadows foundation sticks and compacts in shiny chrome packaging with C H A N T E C A I L L E spelled out in thin black letters around their curved rims I was intrigued and the buzz began to make its rounds on the Web Has anyone heard of Chantecaille It looks like Prescriptives stuff I bet Prescriptives makes it Can someone tell me where I can find Chantecaille I don t know how you say it but that s how it s spelled For those who like to know such things it s pronounced shan tih KIGH and it s the new makeup collection created by Sylvie Chantecaille a 20 year employee of cosmetics giant Estee Lauder and the brains behind much of Prescriptives success Along with her daughter Olivia Sylvie set out to craft a line of cosmetics that was at once technologically cutting edge yet based on the purest most natural ingredients possible The result is a collection of modern wearable colors 48 lipsticks 48 eye shadows 6 blushes 6 compact makeup colors 3 shades of loose powder 4 sheer foundations and 8 stick foundations Chantecaille also makes 3 fragrances and a full line of brushes ranging from a 20 eyebrow brush to a big fluffy black squirrel powder brush that retails for 70 Currently Chantecaille products are available exclusively at Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman in the U S And the department manager at the Neiman s I went to said Chantecaille plans to expand the line primarily with the release of skin treatment products in January 1999 We ll keep you posted None of Chantecaille s products are tested on animals and all are noncomedogenic None of the foundations contain mineral oil or lanolin and all the lip products are fragrance free These are the products I played with and tried on and what I thought about them along with price information Real Skin Foundation SPF 8 10 4 shades sponge included 47 00 Described by Chantecaille as a translucent gel foundation this noncomedogenic complexion balancer is made of microparticle powder and amino acid emollient oil This felt very very slippery to the touch and looked greasy and it comes in a flat compact container The sales associate pointed out that it s meant to impart a no makeup look that also hydrates The coverage is extremely sheer so I agree on those points Perfect for that dewy just stepped out of a steamy Gucci ad look It s probably great for people with flawless skin that s a tad on the dry side Also with only 4 shades it ll probably be hard for most people to find a good match And it s pretty pricey too Compact Makeup 6 shades sponge included 45 00 This is a dry powder foundation that can also be used with a wet sponge for more coverage It s a hydrating non irritating foundation that includes something called polyphenals of green apple which Chantecaille says helps prevent aging and damage from UVA and UVB rays I don t know about all that but it felt light and not at all chalky For what it costs I suppose that s the least it could do New Stick SPF 8 8 shades 38 00 This is a fairly run of the mill stick foundation and it offers the heaviest coverage of Chatecaille s 3 foundations I liked the consistency it s less slippery than Bobbi Brown s stick foundation but still blended smoothly and evenly As a bonus the New Stick contains antioxidants like gingko biloba green tea and vitamins C and E I might actually buy it and use it very sparingly due to the high cost once my current fave runs out Talc Free Loose Powder 3 shades with puff included 45 00 The Talc Free Loose Powder comes in a groovy silver container Instead of talc which can dry out and sometimes irritate the skin mica particles help brighten up and smooth out dull complexions The powder also contains polymers which Chantecaille claims help hush oil secretions You d probably have to buy it and wear it for a while to figure out if that s true and with just 3 shades to choose from it s unlikely that it will fly off the shelves Still it s nice to know there s a talc free loose powder out there Cheek Shade 6 shades 20 00 Blush is blush I say It s all about whether you prefer pink plum coral or red cream or powder shimmer or matte These are standard sheer matte blushes but the only color that even looked remotely flattering to me was Mood a pinkish taupe I d pass on this unless you surprise yourself and find a shade that really works for you Lasting Eye Shade 40 shades 20 00 Usable wet or dry these are ultrafine textured shadows in colors ranging from the most basic neutrals to some really wild brights Chantecaille claims the shadows and I do quote here will never fade crease or run Where I come from them s fightin words a challenge if I ever heard one Still I was impressed by the light texture and the range of colors I liked Nutmeg a basic terra cotta brown shade on the wilder side I loved Mulberry a bright wine Magenta shocking violet and Gingko lemon lime Shine Eye Shade 8 shades 20 00 I love to use pearlized shadows to highlight my eyes especially for special occasions And these really are pearlized the shadows color pigments actually contain tiny particles of pearls I liked and bought Granite a taupe shimmer and Tanzanite a shiny steel gray Lip Matte 6 shades 20 00 I m not crazy about matte lipsticks in general they always seem dry and cakey to me Not so with Chantecaille s version which contains evening primrose oil and vitamins C and E to moisturize and protect delicate lips I especially liked Papaya which was a natural looking nude shade Lip Sheer 12 shades 20 00 I m much more partial to sheer lipsticks and Chantecaille offers a great range of almost transparent colors They can be worn alone or layered and they offer UVA and UVB protection I went crazy for Quasar a deep violet and Luna an iridescent gray Lip Stick with SPF 6 8 24 shades 20 00 More like a basic lipstick formula Chantecaille s Lip Stick contains only natural waxes like beeswax along with vitamins A C and amino acid emollients An unusual feature of this lipstick is that it s coated with lauroyl lysine an emoillient that creates a water and oil resistant film on the lips I fell for Clove a dark plummy brown that looks a lot like Aveda s Wild Oats Fig a warm red with brown undertones and Sugar Plum a mauvey lighter plummy brown I bought the Fig and Sugar Plum and am very ahppy with them although at 20 a pop they are my new most expensive lippies Sigh Lip Gloss SPF 15 20 00 I m not a big lip gloss fan but these were as nice as any I ve seen In addition to antioxidants and a high SPF Chantecaille lip gloss also contains moisturizing vitamin E and aloe vera The gloss comes in a tiny mirrored compact which I assume is part of the reason it s so expensive If you re a gloss gal check them out Finally Chantecaille makes 3 distinct fragrances I sniffed them out and gave each my seal of approval Below is a short description of each I regret that since the store was closing I didn t get their prices Sorry about that Frangipane My personal favorite A warm musky possibly vanilla infused scent Mmmm Very nice for fall winter Tiare A light white floral with citrusy and or grassy undertones Springy clean and fun Wisteria A slightly heavier floral scent than Tiare but not at all overpowering It s kind of a combination of many different flowers among them I could smell tuberose

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Chanel Pr cision report by Lindsey of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I was only visiting the Chanel counter for an eye cream but left with enough samples for 4 days Chanel was offering samples when you had a Pr cision diagnosis done If you are interested in trying it insist on 3 4 days of samples Most of the cream lotion product packets contain 2 3 days of product My diagnosis was not a surprise Oily skin with blemishes Pr cision Gel Puret 30 and Aquamousse 28 50 For cleansing I tried Pr cision Gel Puret and also Aquamousse Since I prefer gel cleansers I really like the Gel Puret It lathers really well with only a small amount of product I need to see suds and since I m from the school of More is Better using less is good practice for me Aquamousse a foaming cream cleans well but while rinsing my skin felt a bit tacky as if the product didn t rinse off completely I was told later at the counter that this is because the Aquamousse doesn t strip all of the skin s oils I however prefer the squeaky clean feeling so I bought the Gel Puret on my follow up visit to the counter Get samples of both and decide for yourself Definitely a personal preference Pr cision Demaquillant Yeux Intense 22 50 I have been searching for a good eye makeup remover recently so I decided to purchase Pr cision Demaquillant Yeux Intense While it is a little pricey I do like that it leaves no residue and removes my heavy eye makeup with little effort Works better than Lancome or L Or al which I normally use Pr cision Lotion Puret 28 50 I begged for several samples of Pr cision Lotion Puret There is only one use per packet This toner has a small amount of alcohol Chanel won t say how much in it but is not drying For dryer skin try Lotion Tendre Lotion Puret leaves my skin fresh and smooth and ready for moisturizing Another new favorite so I bought it Pr cision Eye Correction Anti Wrinkle Firming Eye Cream 50 Since I really just need an eye cream for prevention I don t want anything greasy or irritating I thought I was looking for a gel Although Precision Eye Correction Anti Wrinkle Firming Eye Cream is a cream and not a gel I am pleasantly surprised that it doesn t make my eye area greasy or cause my makeup to run I even use it now during the day Something I never would have done before Again this jar will last for a long time and unfortunately we always need eye cream Pr cision Hydramax Oil Free Hydrating Gel 40 Precision T Mat Shine Control 25 The Hydramax moisturizer was an instant hit I was in between moisturizers and hadn t found a new favorite in the past few months not for lack of trying This moisturizer alone controls oil and shine For those of us with oil slicks on our faces Precision T Mat Shine Control is EXCELLENT You can apply it under or over foundation for at least 4 6 hours of shine control I m impressed No more wiping my forehead with at tissue at 2pm every day When I went to a Chanel counter later to purchase what I had liked the woman didn t even believe me that I had oily skin Get a sample for yourself Note Wait a few minutes after applying Hydramax before applying T Mat It will apply

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Chanel report by Navar of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I d never used any Chanel skin care products prior to trying the new Precision line They always target older aging skin which I do not have I m aging but my skin still thinks I m a teenager I ll admit some reluctance to approaching the Chanel counter at my local Macys My knowledge of their products is limited I ve never even worn Chanel No 5 Surprisingly my introduction to the Precision line was pretty painless They have this nifty computer that tells you what type of skin you have Based on the answers you give it will recommend products from the 27 piece line Here s what I purchased Aquamousse Foaming Cream Face Wash 28 50 for a 5 oz tube The sales associate at Macys claimed that of all the Precision cleansers this one was her favorite She said it would get my skin squeaky clean but leave it soft smooth She was right A little of this cleanser foamed up nicely and removed every trace of foundation mascara from my face I was squeaky clean soft and happy I liked this cleanser very much I chose it over the Gel Purete foaming gel cleanser because foaming gels tend to leave me disappointed They claim to foam but sometimes all they do is just slide right off your face with nary a bubble Lotion Purete Purifying Toner 28 50 for a 6 8 fl oz bottle I bought this toner despite my feelings that toners are unnecessary What sold me was that it did not contain any alcohol Two of the first three ingredients are witch hazel and aloe It also contains Lemon and Grapefruit extracts It was both refreshing and soothing I felt like it was actually doing something for my skin Admittedly 28 50 is a lot to spend for witch hazel and aloe Rectifiance Nuit Night Lift Restoring Lotion 60 00 for a 1 7 oz bottle A light nighttime lotion containing seemingly every hot ingredient on the market Retinyl Palmitate Panthenol Salicylic Acid Glucosamine Hydrolyzed Collagen shea butter you name it it s in there I was very impressed with this product In the morning my skin was smooth glowing and not the least bit oily Rectifiance Day Lift Refining Oil Free Lotion SPF 15 50 00 for a 1 7 oz bottle My prayers for a moisturizer with SPF that will not leave my skin feeling like a used frying pan have been answered Dare I say the word perfection T Mat Shine Control 25 00 for a 1 oz tube My request is already in to Chanel for vats of this and the Rectifiance Oil Free Lotion Of course I ll have to take out that second mortgage on my home but who cares The freedom of pulling out the powder compact once over the course of a hot humid August day makes it worth it A veritable skin care triumph Eye Correction Anti Wrinkle Firming Eye Cream 50 00 for a 1 2 oz jar A rich greaseless eye cream It sank right into my skin when I used it at night following the Rectifiance Nuit lotion It claims to be for nighttime as well as daytime use but I only use eye cream at night I m picky when it comes to eye creams but I would definitely purchase this again Chanel has a winner with the Precision line I was hard pressed to find many negatives For those with sensitive skin be warned that the cleansers toners and moisturizers contain a good dose of fragrance The eye products however are unscented Although the line is pricey results can be expected For the budget conscious omit the toner or if you must use one that is not as expensive Samples of most of the products are available so you can try before you buy Happy Shopping SHOP Get what you need plus save

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Chanel report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Chanel recently launched a whole new skin care system so naturally I was curious Here s how it works at the Chanel counter they now have a computer with 8 questions about your skin oiliness dryness contact and environmental sensitivity breakout tendency sun sensitivity uneven complexion facial wrinkles loss of firmness and concerns like undereye circles or lines around your lips Your answers determine which products are prescribed for your skin Here is my profile oiliness none choices are none T zone or shiny all over dryness slight choices are none slight moderate or extreme contact and environmental sensitivity frequent choices are none occasional or frequent breakout tendency occasional choices are none occasional or frequent sun sensitivity burns then tans choices are tans easily never burns burns then tans or burns never tans uneven complexion visible choices are none slightly visible visible facial wrinkles loss of firmness none choices are none slightly visible visible I chose none of the extra concerns Based on my answers the Chanel Precision computer showed the products that are recommended for my skin type as well as highlighted those that the system deemed the most important for me like a must have list I decided to try a few and see how the system worked for me Chanel Gel Tendre Non Foaming Makeup Remover Face and Eyes 30 for 5 ounces I would not call this cleanser completely non foaming it does foam up a bit but at least it s not full blown lather The consistency of this gel reminds me of Biore Non Foaming Cleansing Gel but Gel Tendre is thinner and lighter removes makeup a bit better and also rinses away more easily It has a fresh light scent and leaves my skin feeling clean but not stripped I m not sure I would make a habit out of buying this then again maybe I would Get a sample if you can to see how well you like it It should work well for any skin type Chanel Solution Destressante Calming Emulsion 30 for 3 4 ounces Because I ranked high on the contact and environmental sensitivity question this lotion was among the highlighted priority products for my skin Although it can t prevent irritation or blotchiness from something inside your body like stress or crazy hormones it does help protect your skin if you are prone to irritation redness from things outside like cold air wind scratchy fabrics etc I definitely have that problem and the lotion seems to be helping Since I started using it morning and night my skin in general is less red I also like the light moisturizing benefits I can layer it under an oil free moisturizer without having to use a heavy cream to prevent dehydration Chanel Hydramax Balanced Hydrating Gel 40 for 1 7 ounces I both like and dislike this gel moisturizer I like the light cream gel texture and the way it makes my skin feel soft and supple like I don t have anything on Unfortunately that natural skin feeling is also why I don t like it when I try to apply foundation or concealer my skin has no moisture on the surface so the makeup drags and looks cakey I suspect my skin really needs the Hydramax Balanced Hydrating Cream rather than the Gel so I ll be investigating that option next For truly combination or slightly oily skin I think this gel would feel fantastic All in all I like these Chanel products and think the computer questions are a decent way of determining the best products for your skin It takes into account that not all oily skin types are acne prone or that not all dry skin types have wrinkles Even if you don t buy any of the products it s fun to see what kinds of products are recommended for your skin based on those answers I hope to review some of the other products recommend for me including Lotion Tendre Soothing Toner Hydra Serum Vitamin Moisture Boost Estompe Taches Anti Dark Spot Serum and Fluide Multi Protection Daily

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Chanel report by Joi of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I was drawn against my will to the Chanel counter because I really liked the eye makeup their Asian counterperson was wearing I asked her if she d do a quick makeover on me using the eye makeup she was wearing and she happily agreed to do so notwithstanding the fact that I was in my workout clothes and baseball cap and hadn t taken a shower She did a complete makeover on me including foundation eyeshadow blush mascara lipliner and lipstick I ended up buying the eyeshadow because I really liked the colors and convenience of the Basic Eye Colour Intensites D Ombre in Argents silver pewter granite Because I put my makeup on during my commute on the train I have no shame I appreciated the convenience of having three coordinating eyeshadows in one compact with a big mirror and two applicators that actually work better than my official eye shadow brush The colors are exactly what they sound like a shiny silver a pewter and a dark almost black granite A little goes a long way and I love the fact that I can use the applicators included in the compact to put on the eyeshadow on the train Also before I lost my eyebrow liner brush I used the granite shadow as an eyeliner and eyebrow color too I think these colors would work well on winter type people they probably would be too dramatic on most blondes The eyeshadow lasts until lunch when I take it off to work out then I reapply it after my lunch work out and it lasts pretty well until about 5 00 p m or so when it starts to fade a bit and get into the crease of my eye At around 55 00 this compact isn t cheap but it s hard to find three eyeshadows that fit together in one compact If I could find these colors in a similarly convenient compact that was less expensive I d buy it I also bought a lipstick color that I love Chanel s creme lipstick in metal garnet rouge a levres hydrabase This is a great red almost coppery color I d say It also lasted until my lunchtime work out but it does leave marks on water glasses etc I then ate lunch with it on and it came off on utensils and such until finally by about 5 00 p m it wasn t really there So this lipstick is not an indelible lipstick but I love the color It cost about 21 00 so if I could find the same color in a less expensive brand I d do it I really appreciated that the counterperson wasn t pushy at all and was very willing to give me little samples of skin care products I d stop by the Chanel counter again just for fun SHOP Get what you need

Challenge is to see just how far 10 can go toward cool makeup products at a local drugstore For our sixth 10 Challenge here s what I found Coty 24 Hour Creme Lipstick 5 79 in plumwine Even though I think naming this lipstick 24 hour is a little ambitious it does last pretty well through eating drinking etc without coming off completely It feels a little dry at first but as it settles into your lips it turns slightly creamy without feeling greasy or sliding around I also like the old fashioned bullet shape makes for easier application and snazzy gold case Many thanks to reader Lydia Ash for the review suggestion Bonne Bell Lip Lix lipgloss 1 99 in gotta date For a quick and easy no frills gloss the Lip Lix collection is cool and cheap Every gloss is a different color and a different flavor which I suppose appeals to someone who likes to taste their lipgloss Personally I like the color I got but the flavor is nasty I have no idea what it s supposed to be What I do like is that the color is sheer and goof proof so I can throw it in my purse and never be without at least a little lipcolor Lord Berry Dramateyes Waterproof Mascara 4 99 I wouldn t call this mascara dramatic but it does a nice job of defining and slightly lengthening lashes for a natural everyday look The brush doesn t get clumpy or goopy so neither do your lashes One of the coolest things about shopping for a Lord Berry mascara is that the tester display has examples of the brushes attached to the unit so you can see and feel what they re like Handy SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty

Challenge is to see just how far 10 can go toward cool makeup products at a local drugstore For our fifth 10 Challenge here s what I found Almay Extra Moisturizing Under Eye Cover Cream 3 49 If you have oily skin you might not select this concealer with a name like extra moisturizing but you d be missing out on something that might give you the stay put coverage you re looking for With a consistency that is actually more powdery than moisturizing Almay Extra Moisturizing is really better suited to oily skin than dry any day If you have fines lines or dry skin I d sooner recommend Revlon New Complexion Stila Bobbi Brown which are more creamy Wet Wild Mega Colors lipstick toasted coconut 0 89 I must admit in the 10 years that I have been a cosmetic enthusiast this was my first time trying Wet n Wild Thankfully I overcame my skepticism and found out how great their lipsticks are Stick with matte neutrals or classic shades and you ll find Wet n Wild is actually better than some department store brands What a great find M Professional mascara black 2 99 This mascara easily joins the ranks of other drugstore mascaras that I love Jane L Oreeal Max Factor It has a full densely packed brush that delivers clump free lash building and lengthening color in just a few strokes Perfect Revlon Velvet Touch lipstick sherry seduction 3 29 Another huge hit of this 10 Challenge

joins a day cream with sun protection SPF 8 together with a night cream with alpha hydroxy acid 8 glycolic in one handy two compartment jar Both creams are lightweight and would work well for any skin type The daytime sun protection isn t the SPF 15 that I would recommend but it will do for very minimal exposure If you like simple skin care without a lot of separate products this Pond s 2 in 1 is a great deal Jane nail polish 2 69 Jane recently added nail polish to her extensive under 3 product line and it s great The color I chose electricity is a metallic mauve with gold shimmer that is gorgeous and classy With my Seche Vite topcoat a fantastic quick dry high gloss topcoat for ultimate wear and shine around 9 at salons and beauty supply stores this polish lasted 7 days without a chip Jane Staying Powder loose powder 2 69 While this powder created a soft matte finish that controlled shine for most of the day all of the colors even colorless were too dark for my fair skin If you have medium to dark skin and like a good oil control loose powder this one is for you It even comes with a handy puff Almay Amazing Lasting Eyecolor trial size 1 99 As far as cream eye shadows go this one from Almay is okay but not amazing and not incredibly lasting either I applied taupe in the morning and by 1 2pm it was barely noticeable If you have oily eye lids I imagine it would disappear

Challenge is to see just how far 10 can go toward cool makeup products at a local drugstore For our third 10 Challenge I decided to go for widely available brands like Maybelline and Almay Maybelline Expert Eyes eyeshadow quad in The Suedes matte 3 55 If you stick with the matte colors these shadows from Maybelline are a great choice for long lasting and easy to blend color at a really reasonable price You really don t need to spend a lot of money on good quality shadows I love sets of multiple shadows like this for playing with different looks and color combinations This is a definite buy Maybelline Express Finish nail polish in Pearl 2 55 While perusing the eyeshadow quad choices I couldn t help noticing Maybelline s new quick dry nail polishes They claim it sets and dries in 2 minutes but I think that would only work if you used all of the Express Finish products to do your at home manicure When I used my usual Avon base coat plus my Urban Decay top coat over the Maybelline polish it took just as long to dry as ever about 30 45 minutes to totally dry nails Almay Amazing Lash Waterproof mascara in Intense Brown 3 95 I really liked this mascara It left my lashes looking full and lush and feeling soft not stiff or clumpy The waterproof ness wasn t quite 100 I got a few little flakes but no smearing but this is still a good choice for a long wearing at least water

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER DRUGSTORE CHALLENGE The results from the second Cosmetic Connection 10 Challenge are in These great drugstore products seriously make me wonder why I buy some of my cosmetics at the department store counters Read on Before I even arrived at Drug Emporium to start my search I knew one thing I had to try Maybelline s new Great Wear foundation Before seeing the product I was skeptical not only of the color selection but of just how well it would wear on my skin Would it be dry and crumbly Thick and oily Would it take industrial strength cleanser to get it off Luckily all of my anxiety was laid to rest after my first day of wearing it I found a great color match from the testers bought Ivory for just 1 73 used two 1 50 off coupons wore it everyday for 6 days and loved it The color was great the texture was really easy to blend it had great coverage it set to a nice natural finish it lasted all day without caking creasing or melting and it washed off at the end of the day with regular cleanser If you find a good color that matches your skin this foundation is a terrific product even at full price that I would highly recommend for any skin type The second product I already knew I wanted to try was from a reader s suggestion Aziza s new eye shadow trio 3 44 I wanted the colors to be soft and basic for everyday wear that I could also mix and match with colors I already have I chose Daily News a set with light beige medium taupe brown and dark chocolate brown Although the richness and pigment of the colors wasn t quite as good as say Bobbi Brown Stila or MAC the colors were soft very blendable and lasted for most of the day Using a few good quality eye shadow brushes not the dinky sponge tip applicator it comes with really helps to pack the color on so you can get longer wear One benefit I found with the colors being so soft is that you can really use them anywhere on the eye try the light color on the lid on the browbone or all over use the medium shade on the lid in the crease or as liner experiment with the darker shade on the lid in the crease and as liner This shadow trio is another great find that comes in a variety of color combinations to suit everyone s taste I ve never been much of blush wearer until recently when I saw some photographs of myself wearing makeup but still looking incredibly pale Maybe it was time for me to add a little color to my face For my first time out I wanted something soft natural and not cotton candy pink Since I ve found some nice colors at Jane before I decide to give Jane Blushing Cheeks 2 29 a try in Blushing Glow This isn t the lightest of colors so I applied it very lightly with a large brush just to the apples of my cheeks and blended and voila instant healthy color If you re looking for an inexpensive but good quality blush you really can t beat Blushing Cheeks from Jane As I neared my 10 limit I wanted my last item to be something useful but unusual something I would wear but would probably not normally buy After hearing that Nat Robbins makes some great lip and eye pencils I made my way over to the Nat Robbins display and selected the Nat Robbins Mechanical Definer Lipliner 2 47 Rather than trying to match a liner to the myriad of lipsticks I own I decided on Totally Nude a neutral color close to my natural lip color that would go with anything While the mechanical version does take some getting used to over the traditional sharpen it yourself variety I really liked the smooth texture and staying power of this liner I could wear it with light colored lipsticks sheer glosses and even clear lip balm without feeling like I had an obvious ring around my mouth Another winner For all four products with a little help from one store and one manufacturer s coupon for the foundation the total came just under 10 at 9 93 Is that a great deal or what SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style

as many cool products as 10 would carry me Here s the list to refresh your memory Jane True to You sheer foundation in Fair 69 trial size A good color match for my skin went on sheer and lasted all day It was also great to try it with a trial size rather than buying a whole big bottle Even at these low prices I hate to waste Jane Barely Lips Sheer Lipstick in Partly Peach 89 trial size Feels moist wears surprisingly well and doesn t get cakey when you reapply Prestige eyeshadow in C 26 Ivory 2 69 Prestige is a serious player in the eye shadow market with nice colors and textures that blend well for under 3 Wow This color wasn t the best for my complexion a little too yellow but it worked well with some browns and taupes that I tried with it Nat Robbins Creme to Powder Shadow plus Base in Pretty Pink 1 99 I had the most fun with the Nat Robbins creme to powder eye shadow The texture and color are comparable to those new expensive ones at the department stores for about one tenth the price The shimmer factor was fun and still wearable not flashy or dated Nat Robbins Stay Put Lipcolor in Misty 2 99 Nat Robbins also impressed me with an amazing selection of colors and formulas While I could have picked a more neutral color Misty was very pink on me the Stay Put lipcolor has to be the best of the long wearing formulas out today It goes on smooth sets instantly feels

REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Cover Girl CG Smoothers report by Gayle of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel It s been quite sometime since I used Cover Girl products The smoother product line seems to be a good match for dry skin like mine so I purchased the All Day Hydrating Makeup the Hydrating Lipcolor and the Gel Eyecolor All Day Hydrating Makeup 5 99 This foundation has a gel consistency and contains built in moisturizers that hydrate the skin for 11 hours even after you remove it I found this hard to believe but after using it for a week my skin felt totally hydrated I like the medium coverage this makeup provides and it comes in 8 shades I chose Buff Beige which was a good match for my medium skin tone This makeup is formulated for normal to dry skin and is fragrance free hypoallergenic dermatologist tested and good for sensitive skin I did not experience any breakouts with this product I like it better than the Neutrogena Healthy Skin foundation that I have been using because it has much better coverage and my skin does not feel dry Hydrating Lipcolor 4 39 This lipcolor comes in 12 matte and frost shades ranging from light to dark colors I chose the Strawberry Sorbet which is a matte mauvy color It goes on smooth and my lips felt moisturized It is not a long wearing lipstick though and must be reapplied during the day I compare this to Almays Moisturizing lipcolor and find the results to be highly similar Gel Eyecolor 4 39 This is an eye liner and shadow in one It is gel based so there is no tugging to your eye when you apply it and CG Gel Eyecolor comes in 9 shades I chose Midnight Metal which is sparkly grey color and Hot Cocoa which is a medium chocolate brown color I did not like the grey color too sparkly and frosty for me but the matte brown was okay I felt it was easy to apply a thin line for eyeliner or a thicker line for shadow CG Gel Eyecolor did not smear or smudge all day and was easy to remove and I experienced no irritation to my eyes Overall I liked these products and feel these would be good for any age group You can check them out on covergirl com review 01 00 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Cell Renewal Systems report by Kiki of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel About two years ago I was reading in Vogue and again in Allure magazine about a skin specialist in Hollywood who gave phenomenal facials Although he doesn t like to associate his business with famous people both articles hinted that you shouldn t be surprised to run into Winona Ryder and other well known actresses I decided to make an appointment on the off chance that I could end up with her poreless perfect skin Over the years I had become wary of skin salons from one too many visits to salons under the name of some great facialist who was never around unless you were a celebrity and his dozen or so disgruntled underpaid inexperienced facialists who often had no concept of whether to extract or not to extract Steven was just what I was looking for He does his own facials leaves barely a mark on my skin so much so that I can go straight back to work and not have to hide in a closet for a week and has the best skin care products from a number of product lines With the weather becoming colder and drier I decided to try a non oily moisturizing product from Steven Miller It s from a company called Cell Renewal Systems that he represents on his website and at his salon Epidermal Growth Factor Cream 42 00 for 5 oz Steven usually applies a thin layer of this product to my face at the end of my facials He told me that this should be applied under the moisturizer as a treatment I have actually found it to be moisturizing enough to work well on its own I ve been getting a monthly application through my facials with Steven and have been using it nightly for a few weeks now for this review Epidermal Growth Factor EGF Cream comes in a small tub because you only need to apply the smallest quantity Its name sounds scary to me but it s actually very nourishing and complimentary It has a most curious color and smell I always thought it looked like it belonged in a test tube in the X files lab It looks other worldly to me with its swirls of algae green accented with iridescent flecks of marine blue You might expect it to smell horrid but it actually smells wildly mysterious and sumptuous with keynotes of propolis olive oil and marjoram Its main moisturizing component comes from sunflower and safflower fatty acids so it is not oily at all In my review of the technical data regarding EGF I learned that EGF is a chemical that occurs naturally in the skin to help it repair itself This herbal based cream is made for all skin types When applied in a thin layer to the skin EGF has been found to increase mitosis synthesis of proteins increase circulation increase accumulation of collagen and increase blood vessel formation That s a pretty impressive offering of dermal delights I of course have no idea if my blood vessel formation has increased or my synthesis of proteins but I love the cream s aroma consistency and color I did not have any breakouts while testing this product and it s non oily base makes it a nice light winter moisturizer for oily skin If I had dry skin it would be even more luxurious I really liked this

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Cellex C report by Evelyn of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I used to be one of those people with oily skin who envies those with dry skin until my skin suddenly dried out completely bearing an unsettling resemblance to a patch of desert I began to panic Cosmetic sales people suggested that this was due to too much moisturizer not enough too much alpha hydroxy acid not enough too much exfoliating not enough You get the picture I had heard of Cellex C going so far as to look at the products in the line at the one company that sells it in Toronto The Anti Aging Shop I was skeptical an attitude fueled by a negative review I d read in Paula Begoun s latest book But when I read research results in a mainstream newspaper I investigated further After some on line searching finding out more about the company I decided to try the product Cellex C was founded by two American scientists The products contain approximately 10 Vitamin C they claim that they are the only company to stabilize the rather fragile compound so that it is effective for use on the skin They have licensed production of the products to a Canadian company the line is available both in the US and Canada The atmosphere at the Anti Aging Store was decidedly low key with no pressure to buy I asked for samples because in addition to the dryness my skin had been very sensitive to products both new and old becoming easily red and irritated The salesman happily prepared generous samples of three items Skin Firming Cream GLA Extra Moist and Hydra B 5 Complex Moisture Enhancing Gel The gel was to be used on cleansed skin followed by the Skin Firming Cream the line s foundation product it also comes in a stronger serum The Extra Moist was meant for very dry sensitive skin The gel went on smoothly and dried quickly leaving no residue on my face Then came the cream it stung mildly but not uncomfortably something I d been told to expect However it was tacky to the touch and stayed that way for a long long time Even in the morning though the stickiness had disappeared I could still tell I had applied the cream the night before It has no fragrance at least nothing I could smell which is not to say that the product does not contain fragrance compounds I finished with the Extra Moist as added insurance to eradicate the dryness This cream has more slip than the Skin Firming product with a smoother feel and somewhat quicker drying time Cellex C products are meant to be applied once in a 24 hour period Though the company does not specify I can t imagine using them in the morning because the Skin Firming Cream doesn t feel as though it would sit well under make up After about a week the results were noticeable and though this is an overused word dramatic My skin looked and felt less dry and lined Where a week earlier I could see crepe like lines when I prodded my cheek now there was nothing but smooth skin I was amazed when a colleague asked what I was using on my skin as it looked so much better The minuses the products are not inexpensive The Skin Firming Cream is about 85 for a 2 ounce jar the Gel and Extra Moist about 45 each for one and two ounces respectively these prices are in Canadian dollars And though I m used to it the tacky feeling of the Skin Firming Cream put me off using it during very hot weather The pluses you don t need to use much product per application so what you get goes a very long way I ve barely made a dent in my jar and have been using it faithfully for a few months now And despite the sometimes negative reviews it s received main complaint there is no conclusive proof that Vitamin C can do anything for skin or that if it could that its molecule could either be stable or small enough it s solved my dry skin problem hopefully for good And the lines I had seen are now gone In my opinion that s better value for my money than a cheaper product that doesn t perform or gets used

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Cargo Cosmetics report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Cargo was created with makeup artists with their needs in mind natural undertones that flatter any skintone sheer and blendable colors and simple packaging with a generous amount of product Cargo cosmetics have been used in film and television and is quickly becoming a new favorite in Hollywood Personally I could care less what a celebrity is wearing I want to know if it will look good on me After trying a variety of Cargo s products I can see why women are drawn to it The first thing I noticed about the line is the packaging Simple silver metal tins and silver colored plastic compacts are minimalist but wait until you take the lid off of a Cargo lipgloss or blush Compared to just about every other brand I ve tried the amount of product you get here is huge You have to see these to believe it They don t call them jumbo tins for nothing Liquid Foundation 22 in Pluto If you have normal to oily skin and are not particularly prone to breakouts this is a nice oil free choice with sheer to medium coverage It comes in 10 natural looking shades named for planets and constellations like Saturn and Big Dipper I really wanted to love this foundation especially considering that the Pluto color worked well for me but I found it to be bit too oil controlling for my normal to dry skin It also contains polyglyceryl 3 diisostearate and triethanolamine comedogenic ingredients that make my breakout prone skin less than happy Wet Dry Powder Foundation 22 in Pluto Wet Dry comes in the same colors as the Liquid Foundation and is also best for normal to oily skin that is not acne prone It also contains several comedogenic ingredients stearic acid myristyl myristate and triethanolamine If this is not a concern for you Wet Dry is a nice choice in powder foundations The texture is light the coverage is sheer and the finish is matte I found it worked best dry applied with the enclosed sponge or with a powder brush rather than applied wet I also like the compact which is fairly small and houses the sponge in a lower compartment so it s not stewing in the powder Again I wanted to love this foundation but it s just not the right fit for my skin Loose Powder 22 in shade 2 I did have excellent luck with this powder and thankfully it has no comedogenic ingredients It has a light silky texture and has a demi matte finish that I like It makes the skin look natural not overly powdery The color selection is decent the 2 shade I have is a pale yellow similar to Bobbi Brown Pale Yellow or T LeClerc Banane Pressed Powder 22 in shade 2 The pressed powder is almost identical to the loose powder only more portable The colors are the same and the compact is similar to the Wet Dry compact with the powder in the main section and the puff housed in a compartment underneath Eyeshadow 14 in Windsor Cocoa Beach and Tuscany Cargo s philosophy about basic wearable colors comes through loud and clear with their natural looking eyeshadows They have a decent amount of pigment so they last but the colors are blendable and flattering on any skintone Windsor is a basic beige Cocoa Beach is a deep chocolate brown and Tuscany is a medium camel brown You can also choose from colors like Chile Green Bay Bordeaux Soho and Yucatan Mascara 15 in Black This mascara was the only thing in the line that really did nothing for me It was clumpy and made my lashes look spiky Blush 19 in Tonga As I mentioned in my intro Cargo packages its blush in a large metal tin that is perfect for the proper size blush brush It s also a fantastic value when you find a color you love since you won t have to buy a new one for a very long time Tonga is a medium salmon rose color that would natural on both warm and cool skin tones The powder has a light texture and although the colors are sheer a little does go a long way so be careful not to pick up too much color on your brush at once ColorTube 24 in Dublin peachy orange It seems like every brand has an all in one three in one or lip cheek color that can be used on eyes cheeks or lips This one reminds me most of Stila s All Over Shimmer it s a cream that comes in a tube has a light silky texture and comes in a variety of sheer and slightly shimmery shades of pink peach and champagne You can use it as eye shadow highlighter for eyes or cheeks blush and lip color but personally I like it as lip color the best The creamy texture tends to slide into the crease of the eyelid and you can t really powder over it and when worn on the cheeks it really works best alone without foundation or powder tough for anyone with less than perfect skin Lipstick 15 in Ottawa and Dalkeith These lipsticks have a nice creamy feel and decent staying power I think next time I would choose different colors though Ottawa is a warm orange red I look better in cool colors and Dalkeith while a beautiful color is a basic brownish pink that I must have in a dozen other brands Next time I would try Nevis Congo or Bombay Lip Gloss 15 in Bora Bora and Flin Flon Like the blush Cargo s lipglosses also come in very generous tins and you get two colors per tin Bora Bora has a light rose shade on one side and a darker medium berry on the other You can wear each alone you can mix them or layer them over your favorite lipstick or lipliner to create the look you want The texture is creamy but not goopy or sticky and the level of shine is just right not too flat but not overly glassy Flin Flon has a sheer pearly gold on one side and a sheer silver on the other Alone they give a little boost of shine to your normal lipcolor over a favorite lipstick it gives it shine and a bit of shimmer Eye Pencil 13 in Wood This is the first eye pencil EVER that I have been able to use to line my lower lid Every other color I ve tried looks terrible like I got punched so I always just line the upper lid Not only is the texture of this pencil smooth and easy to apply but the light brown color wood gives my blue eyes just the right level of definition without looking harsh or raccoon ish It also comes in brown and black I also tried a few brushes and tools from Cargo including the very reasonably priced and fantastic Application Sponge 5 which beats those wimpy drugstore latex triangles by a mile Of Cargo s brushes the most notable are the Dome Blush 68 Mini Crease 28 and Jumbo Fluff 28 All are very soft and give you professional looking results My only complaint is with the Dome Blush while it s luxuriously soft and makes applying blush a breeze every time I used it at least half a dozen hairs fell out This should not happen with a brush of this price and quality You can find Cargo products online at eve com beauty com and sephora com If you prefer to shop in a regular store gasp Barneys in New York City Seattle Boston Chicago and Beverly Hills carries the line as well as Sephora in San Francisco San Diego New York City and Northbrook Illinois If you happen to be in Canada Cargo a Canadian company by the way is available at The Bay in Toronto and The Sarum Room in Unionville review

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Cargo Cosmetics report by Lindsey of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I am overall very impressed with the rich contemporary and natural color selection that Cargo offers From my experience the eve com web site does a very accurate job of representing the Cargo colors Overall Cargo has some really reliable products that offer something slightly different from other brands The first Cargo product I chose was the ColorTube 24 in Summertime This medium warm pink would be good on almost any skin color Although this is supposed to be a cream eyes cheeks lips all over product I did not like it as a lip color because it looked way to chalky and didn t apply evenly As an eye color it looked OK just below the brow to open up the eye area and applied easily I was most eager to use a product like this as a blush I learned through trial and error that you really can put too much on your cheeks and end up wiping most of it off Thankfully the ColorTube is pretty forgiving and by rubbing it in well you can soften the color and intensity My advice start with a tiny dot of the product and add more if you need it After perfecting my technique I can say that I do like the natural soft look this product can provide but I was not extremely impressed with the short lived effect it provides The color seemed to disappear after about 4 hours not enough to get through the workday Wait It gets better Since I was running out of my favorite Chanel Double Effect foundation I decided to try Cargo Wet Dry Foundation 22 half the price of Chanel so what the heck I was very pleased with my color selection Earth a medium beige which was lucky considering I bought it online When used dry the Cargo Wet Dry foundation has more than adequate coverage more coverage than Chanel blends easily and stays matte for at least 7 8 hours on my combination skin I also tried it wet just to be sure and you really can conceal just about anything when wet I will usually just use it dry for a more natural look I use this type of product to even out my skin tone and cover minor blemishes quickly and Cargo delivered Believe me I have tried about 8 similar products from different brands and this one is up at the top The compact has the sponge in a separate compartment below and the foundation above so the case fits well in a purse or make up case Other brands compacts tend to get bulky Now this is cool I ordered the Cargo Holiday Value Set 35 which contained lip gloss in Flin Flon 15 When I took the lid off it seemed a little boring just another clear pink lip gloss paired with a clear cream colored lip gloss in a round tin When I dipped my finger into it I discovered that each color has a little iridescence to it This lip gloss has my favorite consistency not a liquid not a gunk and looks great alone or over any lipstick FYI I have never worn clear lip gloss alone before now The white pink side works well with pink fuschia lipsticks and the cream gold side highlights red browns very well I m buying one for my purse and one for my make up bag at home Cargo lipsticks 15 are not disappointing either I tried Nevis sheer and Dakota cream Nevis is a pretty medium berry color and would be nice with many different skin tones because it is very sheer and can be worn with just about anything Nevis is a nice business daytime shade and although this is a sheer lipstick it really stays on and doesn t require a lip liner Time saver When I received Dakota I thought for sure I had made a mistake in choosing this rust mocha shade a color not in my normal repertoire However this is a great shade on blondes and really made me look tan I swear Maybe I need to think outside of the box more often The cream formula is also nice wears well and is moist One other item of note the lipstick tubes are lightweight plastic so they don t weigh 4 pounds each like other brands Also in the Holiday Value Set were an eye shadow 14 each in Yukon and a Jumbo Fluff eye shadow brush 28 Yukon is a great shadow for the entire lid yet is very hard to describe It is a taupe shimmer that you can apply lightly or heavily for more intensity A great day or night shade that did not crease fade or smear I tried Yukon with pink purple and brown shadows and it worked well with any color eyeliner It can even be worn alone A keeper The Jumbo Fluff brush is nice for when you want to apply more shadow for deeper shading but beware if you only want a light dusting You pick up a lot of shadow with this brush without even knowing it I m saving it for creating my diva evening look If you re putting together a Cargo order you can t go wrong by adding the eye pencil 13 either This goes on more smoothly than many others I ve tried and stays on well Eye shadow goes on soooooo nicely over it when blending I used Brown You can find these and other Cargo cosmetics at eve com review 12 99 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Cameo Colorbox report by Connie of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Cameo Colorbox contains 5 shades of lipcolor 6 cosmetic brushes 4 shades of blush and 10 shades of eyeshadows This seems to be quite trend right now to have a selection of makeup and brushes all in one case from the same maker The box itself looks like a purse size personal planner with a velcro snap It comes in two layers one has the brushes and lipcolor and the other has the blushes and eyeshadows The tones are neutral and earthy which I love I tried the colorbox for about 2 weeks and here is what I thought Makeup Brushes Eye liner brush This brush is very much like the Smashbox s eye liner brush I can never get these to work right for me and was not fond of the brush Blush brush This is a great blush brush It contoured the cheek nicely and did not lose any bristles The handle is just the right size for manipulation as well Liner brush I liken this brush to Benefit s concealer brush It has the same quality and texture I ended up using for my concealer and not for a liner brush I did like the brush but not for the intent of its use Angle brush I like to use these brushes to add more flare to the outside corners of my eyes with dark eyeshadows This brush works well for that and I would definitely use it again Shadow brush The quality on this brush is poor It shed bristles like crazy and they landed in my eyelashes and in my eye Lip brush Unlike most lip brushes that I have used this brush was more flat than pointy I liked the flatness of the brush because it helped to remove creases within the lip when I applied the lip color The only bad thing was that it was hard to remain inside the lip line with the flatness of the brush Lipcolor The colors come in a palette kind of like a paint by numbers kit The lipcolors all had the same texture and consistency They are moisture lipsticks with a hint of gloss to give that shine look There were no matte lipcolors to choose from The staying power on the colors were about average mid day reapply The colors themselves are Mystic a nice darker red shade Plum Skye that new look of coral for spring Salmon a peach tone that you can hardly see on your lips Rosetea a wine shade that looks great on and Redtide a deep wine with a hint of brown to it I really liked this color The nice thing about the lipcolors is that they kept my lips moist and did not feather They were not the best lipcolors I have tried but they were not the worst Blushes The blushes come in a palette style paint by numbers kit as well The colors are hardly noticeable on the face and give new meaning to the no makeup makeup look Even the darkest color Tawney a brownish red shade hardly showed up at all The texture on the blush is nice They are really powdery and smooth I just needed to use a great deal to have color show up The colors are Suntan a bronzer color Almond a light brown Lust a coral color that would have been good for the spring but had no color on the face and Tawney a brownish red Eyeshadows The eyeshadows come in the same color palette style and had the same results as the blushes I kept applying and applying and had hardly any color show up The texture was nice but the lack of color was really bad The eyeshadows comes in the following earth tones Smoke a brownish black Chocolate Bar a deep brown Jennifer Tan Charcoal almost black Jill Wine Mahogany Sand Stone Bronze Moon Scape an ivory shade and Nude another brown shade It is too bad because these shades look so nice in the palette and I was so disappointed with the results review 2 00 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Does Natural always mean Better A Look at Beauty Without Cruelty 11 12 97 report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Ask Beauty Without Cruelty if natural means better and I m sure they ll say yes Not only are BWC products created with essential oils and herbal extracts but they are also not tested on animals they contain no animal by products like collagen elastin or gelatin and they contain no raw ingredients that were ever tested on animals Other brands may say they are cruelty free but they could contain ingredients that were once tested on animals BWC products are 100 vegetarian contain no mineral oil and no lanolin What does this mean for your skin I decided to find out Herbal Cream Facial Cleanser For years I ve heard dermatologists proclaim the perfection of Cetaphil cleanser a gentle soap free lotion cleanser for people with dry or sensitive skin but I never quite agreed because it s terrible at removing makeup BWC s herbal cleanser has the same soothing feel of Cetaphil but thankfully it removes makeup even mascara much more effectively You don t need dry or sensitive skin to appreciate how clean and soft your skin feels after using this product Balancing Facial Toner BWC has one alcohol free witch hazel free toner for all skin types and it is great Essential oils combined with humectants like sodium PCA aloe vera gel panthenol and sorbitol make this a refreshing second step in your cleansing routine Extra Gentle Facial Smoother Unlike many natural ingredient scrubs that contain broken walnut shells or crushed apricot seeds that can actually tear at your skin with their rough edges BWC s scrub has tiny jojoba wax beads that are uniform in size so they gently but effectively exfoliate These beads combined with oatmeal and almond meal smooth your skin by removing the dead skin cells that make skin look flaky and dull Ten essential oils including calendula chamomile and lavender soothe and condition your skin so it looks fresh and healthy This is a great find for any skin type If natural cruelty free products are important to you Beauty Without Cruelty has created some wonderful and effective skin care that is worth checking out BWC is available at many health food stores or you can call BWC at 707 769 5120 for locations SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty

assorted products from the Burt s Bees line of skin and body care I first discovered Burt s Bees a while back when I tried their wonderfully effective beeswax lip balm Based in North Carolina Burt s Bees uses only all natural ingredients and does not test on any of our fuzzy friends Overall I was impressed with the simplicity and affordability of this line not to mention the aesthetic value of the charming packaging Burt s Bees has a great website burtsbees com where you can purchase a wide range of their products I also snagged a few items from Beauty First here in Columbus OH and from the supremely fabulous Amy T user ID Tocchet of Ebay cosmetic auction fame Burt s Lavender Complexion Mist 4 oz for around 7 This complexion mist for normal skin contains essential oils of lavender cedar and bergamot orange It smells amazing and really does a nice job of calming redness hydrating and generally perking up tired skin Keep it in your desk drawer at work and use it as a morning and afternoon pick me up and be sure to stash it in your travel tote You can even blend it with your regular face lotion I love adding it to my BeneFit Daily Hyaluronic Cream for added benefits Your skin will love it and at such a great price you can afford to be generous Green Goddess Bright Eyes Tea Bags 7 applications for around 8 You soak these pads in warm water for a few minutes just like tea bags After gently blotting them with a paper towel and allowing them to chill in the freezer for about 10 minutes apply and then relax for 15 20 minutes Ahhhhhhhh Your eyes will love this mixture of herbal extracts including blue vervain lemon verbena and eyebright leaf These pads de puff minimize dark circles and gently moisturize the eye area Your stress will melt away like Haagen Dazs on a summer day Orange Essence Cleansing Cream 4 oz for around 9 Unfortunately this cleansing cream just wasn t the best match for my skin This orange scented cleanser is a super rich formula which would be great for drier skin types While it did a fair job of removing my makeup I took issue with the fact it can t be used to remove eye makeup I did try it but it was mighty sting y I prefer a cleanser that removes everything in one easy step Coconut Foot Cr me 4 oz for around 9 This foot cream smells absolutely divine mostly coconut with a hint of peppermint and rosemary This glycerin formula contains vitamin E olive oil lanolin and essential oil for tootsies that are BEYOND soft Apply this thick formula to your feet before bed and cover with cotton socks Wake up with fab feet review 3 00

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Bumble Bumble report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel After hearing about Bumble Bumble hair care products for years but never trying them I finally discovered a store in my area that carries them With minimalist packaging and simple promises Bumble Bumble is a no frills line with some great quality products If there is one thing I am constantly fussing with it s my hair It truly has a mind of its own and needs to be tamed daily by a whole slew of products to control curl tame frizzies and relieve dryness This high maintenance hair has me constantly on the lookout for new and better products On a trip to my local Beauty Warehouse I decided to try Bumble Bumble s Seaweed Conditioner 15 for 8 ounces in hopes of finding a cure for the frizzies While I am sure this would be a great everyday conditioner for normal hair for me it was only average It takes what seems like a gallon of this conditioner to get my dry hair to feel soft Even though the seaweed conditioner wasn t the one for me I was still curious about the other Bumble Bumble products I loved the smell of the seaweed conditioner so I decided to give the Seaweed Shampoo 15 for 8 ounces a try hoping for better results I got my wish this is a good basic shampoo for any hair type that cleanses thoroughly without drying the hair On a Bumble Bumble roll I bought the Thickening Spray 18 for 8 ounces to see what it would do for my fine but wavy hair After shampooing conditioning and briefly towel drying I spritzed the spray all over worked in it and went to work with the blow dryer While the Thickening Spray did make my hair feel thicker and fuller it also felt a bit sticky and gummy like I had used regular hairspray If you have seriouly fine hair that won t do anything this is a great setting and styling spray if you don t mind a little stickiness SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER MAY 99 MAKEUP BRUSH REVIEW I get quite a few requests for my recommendations of makeup brushes so I ve put together a series of reviews covering some basic brushes from Stila Estee Lauder MAC and Philosophy Stila Although I ve been MAC faithful for brushes for over two years my collection has recently expanded to include some very fine brushes from Stila 1 Blush 24 This small but nicely tapered size works well for precise application while still giving a soft not streaky application 5 All over shadow 21 A great brush for easy lid color or for thick crease contour The bristles aren t as soft as the 7 crease brush so it deposits more color in one stroke Remember the softer the bristles the softer the application of color 7 Crease 18 Super soft bristles and a small tapered shape make it a perfect choice for crease color lid color or even super smudgy liner This is one of my favorites from Stila 10 Angled brow 16 I like this one much better than MAC s 22 because of its stiffer bristles The control is excellent without depositing too much color 13 Flat eyeliner 16 This brush is a little thick for precision lining but a good choice if you are just started with shadow liner Estee Lauder Powder 20 I like the full soft bristles but they are cut in a strange angled shape A few bristles came out when I pulled on them a good way to test the quality of the craftsmanship which is not a good sign Blush 18 50 The small tapered shape and soft bristles give a soft application of color No bristles fell out but there were a few gaps between the bristles and the ferrule the metal piece that clamps the bristles onto the handle which could scrape the skin if it got too close Square shading for eyes 15 I like this shape and the softness of the bristles very much If you usually use one shadow color this is a nice soft brush for smooth allover color Eyeshadow Contouring 12 50 This is a knock off of MAC s 36 crease brush The bristles are soft but floppy making any serious crease application next to impossible Angled eyeshadow brows 12 50 This brush may be good for smudgy liner but it s much too soft for precise brow or crease color Concealer 12 50 I typically like a brush to place concealer then I use my finger to blend it out This is a nice shape and large enough to cover undereye circles in one sweep While they have some good shapes and nice soft bristles I have had the unfortunate advantage of seeing a EL powder brush after six months of use visibly worn with bristles falling out a few at a time with each powder application Truly good quality makeup brushes should not appear worn out after six months or even after a year If you decide to investigate EL s brushes or any other lines s brushes for that matter check carefully for loose bristles and overall craftsmanship and don t hesitate to return a brush if you feel it is of inferior quality MAC Of all the lines I ve seen with makeup brushes MAC has the most extensive collection and the best quality for the money Every MAC brush is designed to last a lifetime no matter how hard you use or abuse them or how many times you wash them For beginners or full time makeup artists MAC has a brush for every type of design possible I decided to keep it to the basics Powder You can use either 135 25 or 101 36 for powder The 135 is smaller and can also be used for soft blush while the 101 is very full and super soft great for blending and all over powder Blush Again there is more than one choice for blush If you like a more precise application the 2 25 with its smaller tapered head much like Stila s 1 is a great choice For a softer look the 135 25 is perfect with soft bristles and a full tapered shape Eyeshadow The ultimate multi purpose eyeshadow brush the 141 26 can do everything lid color crease color smudgy liner even brows The bristles are soft and tapered at an angle that makes crease work a breeze Brow For precise color application brow grooming or even powder eye liner the stiff 22 16 angled brush is a MAC favorite Lip The 117 retractable 12 is the way to go My favorite trick with this brush is loading it up with color putting on the lid and taking it with me for a night out no fussing with lipstick tubes Philosophy Once only available in The Coloring Book Philosophy now sells them individually so you can customize your set to fit your needs Blush 25 Nice full tapered size makes blush application a snap A little expensive for a fairly standard but still good quality blush brush Shadow 20 Fluffy tapered bristles are very soft for a more soft sheer application of color A good choice if you are new to eyeshadow or if you use only one or two colors at a time Blending 18 Excellent crease and blending brush that is soft enough to be gentle on the skin but stiff enough to deposit a fair amount of color I really like this one Lip 18 The small tapered shape is great for fool proof application even if you are rather uncoordinated like me Brow 10 A very stiff brush great for general brow grooming as well as adding a little color One of Philosophy s better priced brushes Makeup Brush Review Part Two feature product reviews

alone for normal combination or normal to oily skin If you have dry skin you will need to use your regular moisturizer first The color selection is small however and I don t think you have to spend 35 for a nice tinted moisturizer so I give this one 3 5 out of 5 stars Cream Blush Stick 25 in sand pink tawny warm peach and soft plum cream blush For natural fresh looking blush Bobbi s new cream stick is a great addition to her collection The stick is portable easy to apply and comes in pretty wearable colors Simply dab it on from the stick or onto your finger applying to the apples of your cheeks then blend out toward your hairline Since you use very little the large lipstick style stick packaged just like Bobbi s foundation stick should last a very long time For wearability and a pretty selection of colors I give it 4 out of 5 stars porcelain Bobbi has also added some new shades to her existing products The new Foundation Stick 35 shade in Porcelain is wonderfully neutral not too pink and not too yellow perfect for those of us with very light complexions For normal to dry or dry skin this foundation stick is fantastic one of my makeup bag basics and deserving of a perfect 5 stars Among the other new shades are lip shimmers Lip Shimmer 17 50 in champagne my personal choice for a nice soft beige pink malt raspberry plum and garnet nail wash Nail Wash 12 50 sheers and

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Bobbi Brown Essentials report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Oil Free Foundation 35 I know a few of my readers like this foundation so I decided to investigate I went down to my local Bobbi Brown counter for a free makeover and told the artist I wanted to try the oil free I did not like it at all It did not blend well it felt goopy on my face and it was so dewy that I looked like an oil slick even with my normal to dry skin Yuck And they want 35 for it I don t think so My advice is unless you already use and love this foundation save your money and try something else Moisturizing Foundation 35 With this product I ve completely changed my tune about Bobbi Brown foundation In my experience this formula performs much better on the skin than the oil free version because it actually has a little slip to it so it spreads and blends more easily without streaking or caking Unless you are super oily or get makeup meltdown before lunchtime I would highly recommend this foundation for great daily wear sheer to medium coverage Great colors too Foundation Stick 35 Rather than use this foundation stick as an actual foundation I like it very much as concealer The creamy but not greasy texture and convenient stick form make it terrific for undereye circles blemishes and red spots without caking or smearing I like to apply it with a small concealer brush then tap with my finger and set with loose powder The price tag is a bit steep for concealer but considering how little you use one stick is sure to last a very long time Mascara 16 For the first time ever I decided recently to indulge in a department store mascara Never in my life had I spent more than 5 for mascara until I surrendered 16 to the Bobbi Brown counter for a tube of their regular not thickening mascara in Black This formula is so natural looking and clump free giving me nice long lashes without any annoying blobs and goo that I could actually imagine buying this again It didn t smear it didn t flake and it didn t rub off all day Hooray SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Bobbi Brown Not Just Basic November 1997 report by Judy of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Knowing that I was going to my favorite Nordstrom store for a Bobbi Brown makeover I anticipated that it would be a great event Nordstrom s makeup department in itself is user friendly state of the art and any makeup artist I have ever met there was always more than helpful I ve had makeovers done by Bobbi Brown makeup artists before and usually they are overly cooperative and always generous with samples This time when I had a makeover done I was happy with the results but getting to that point was not at all what I expected When I arrived at Nordstrom they told me that they normally don t book appointments on Sunday because they are so busy I had called in advance and someone did book me for 12 30 on Sunday I m sorry I don t quite understand why can t they just book lots of appointments or is it just sales they are after The latter seems to be true My makeup artist was quite discouraged as to how she was going to make me over She had the attitude of why bother coming for a makeover when you already have a lot of the products I told her that I already own several shadows and even named them I do not have Burnt Red Lipstick and I thought maybe we could work around that Usually I like to let the makeup artist decide a look for me After all are they makeup artists or sales people When I told her that I wore the Beige Foundation Stick she made a face and said it was simply too dark for me I explained it was a color I used in the summer I do own the next lightest Sand and she was a little relieved Her uppity antics were really starting to get to me particularly when she addressed me as hun I am at least 10 years older than her I thought She remarked that the eye makeup I was wearing was not soft enough Strangely enough I had a makeover at the Chanel counter a week ago and they lined my eyes in Very Black eyeliner and it looked awesome It seems I can t please all of the makeup artists all of the time So when she said to me that what she did was a little softer than what you had hun I immediately shut out any of her comments and just waited to see what look she would give me She did my eyes in Gray all over the lid contoured with Slate and lined with the Mahogany eye shadow using a moist eyeliner brush The Burnt Red Lipstick is truly elegant and perfect with that little black dress or something holiday like with a red outfit Normally I can accept criticism after all I am not a full time makeup artist so they must know something if they are doing this all of the time It was more an air about her that I didn t like She made me feel that it was worthless for me to be there because I didn t need a lot of what Bobbi Brown has I jokingly said that Bobbi better get moving then and come out with some new looks and ideas I also must remember that I am not crazy about the way Bobbi herself does her own makeup much too bland for me Her products are basic and very good but you can get artsy and creative with basic colors if you have imagination My holiday look was complete and I was very happy with it I purchased the loose powder in Soft Sand and the lipstick and also the Gray shadow one I do not have I will continue to buy Bobbi Brown products but I think I will go back to the makeup artist at Saks next time She always had a manner that made me feel welcome and good And after all isn t that the purpose of this business SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Bobbi Brown Essentials report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Bobbi Brown Essentials is marketed as a line of cosmetics and skin care for every woman with colors anyone can wear and prices that are supposedly reasonable for the very high quality you are getting I will say that from what I have tried the quality is outstanding but I have a hard time paying those unnecessarily high prices Paying 17 for an eye shadow may be okay for one that I really liked but not 51 for the three I really wanted plus 24 for just one of the eye shadow brushes My pocketbook is not that deep I have to admit I had no intention of getting samples when I first approached the Bobbi Brown counter My mom was visiting from out of town and we were on the first day of our mother daughter shopping extravaganza I saw the new BB counter at Nordstrom and couldn t resist investigating The makeup artist was most helpful and was eager to perform whatever makeovers we would allow I went for eyes and lips Mom went just for eyes After about 30 minutes of painting and primping we were done and looking oh so gorgeous Now came the decision to buy or not to buy We decided to each buy one eye shadow the one used as liner Rich Brown for me Moss for Mom and Mom treated me to an eye definer brush We felt sensible yet satisfied Then suddenly like a bonus from the cosmetic gods we were awarded a collection of skin care product samples to go with our purchases Here s a list of the samples I got plus how I feel about them Facial Cleanser creme 27 for 6oz I ll start by saying that I really liked all of these products I was surprised that even with my summer normal to oily skin this creme cleanser removed makeup and the daily grime very well I didn t feel the need for a toner either which is always nice Gel Facial Cleanser 27 for 6oz The gel version of the cleanser was also nice and surprisingly non drying My face reacts pretty easily with anything overly harsh but I had no problems here Face Lotion 38 for 2oz Another nice product but not worth the money With my skin being more on the oily side in the summer I hardly use a moisturizer that doesn t do something else too like exfoliate AHA or protect SPF 15 Exfoliating Face Wash 18 50 for a tube I liked this scrub but it was very similar to the Garden Botanika Jojoba Scrub that I already use

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Borghese Brushes report by Judy of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Borghese is a skincare line that prides its origin in the Tuscan Hills of Italy Because Borghese has such a fine skincare and makeup reputation one area which has not been represented is that of the tools of the trade makeup brushes They have finally joined the competition in creating some gems If you look at this new line of makeup brushes you would say they scream of Italian fine wood craftsmanship Hey maybe they are made in New York but they look Italian ok I stopped by the Lord Taylor Borghese counter which is quite a familiar place for me About five years ago I started to use Borghese skincare At that time the former John Wanamaker store used to have quite a bit of Borghese in house events Mud facials were the specialty and therefore I became accustomed to using a lot of their skincare and makeup While I always thought they were more of a skincare treatment line I have collected quite a bit of colors from them over the years The sales associate for Borghese knows me well does that come as a surprise to you and I phoned her last week telling her I wanted to stop by for a makeover and to check out the new brushes She was delighted and always cordial when I entered the store on Saturday On my eyes we decided on a trio that is best for my coloring The trio is plummy as a theme but subtle enough to be worn with anything as opposed to its other trio which is an olive rust white combo I forget the Italian names of the colors Because I chose the more cool trio the lipstick which is coordinated with it is a pale neutral wine color which is similar to Mary Kay s Shell lipstick Used with a dark wine lip pencil it has potential but basically nothing special about it If I had one my eyes in the trio she used I would have used more definition She lined my eyes in Plum Espresso not a new pencil this fall but something I immediately liked Because my lashes are quite dark I would have lined my eyes in a deeper color if not black She was going for a soft look but sometimes you can go so soft that you are borderline washed out I have known her to always have a light hand She is quite blonde and fair and I suppose she has a hard time working with coloring other than her own The look was nice for what I would be doing once I arrived home going biking on my new mountain bike with my boyfriend But going to a wedding or a posh restaurant for dinner We would definitely need to talk about applying more oomph into the look As a matter of fact on the way home I used my own Avon Glosstick in Plum Shadow over the lipstick she used to give more color Something noteworthy here is the new powder foundation from Borghese that has an SPF of 8 not the best but better than nothing the new Cura Naturale Dual Effecto Powder Makeup 28 50 She used that on my face and it had a nice matte effect and is something those of you who shun liquid makeup may want to try Finally I asked her to unveil the new brushes She warned me of their expense but I have already spent lots of money on brushes in the past how bad could the prices be If I were to buy the set of 7 brushes it would cost close to 250 00 Fortunately the Borghese marketing people are smart enough to realize they would not sell many sets so they do sell them individually All brushes have a lifetime guarantee Blush 50 00 Fine pure sable the bristles are as soft as a fur coat which makes for an even application Powder Brush 60 00 Beautifully crafted these bristles would make application a breeze Eyeliner 20 00 An ordinary eyeliner brush but the price is still better than that of some of its competitors Lip Brush 20 00 Once again nothing to write home about Fan Brush 40 00 This is something that we have all seen before but probably wondered how it is used It works as a blending brush which can be used as a multi purpose brush or eye contour Made of sable also I decided this is a brush that even the ordinary person should have The Contour Liner 30 00 and the Shadow Blender 27 00 are both okay but not as nice as my eye brushes from Smashbox for about the same price I purchased the fan brush and the blush brush and if any of you have a man to answer to you can justify your purchase by equating it with that of Craftsman tools Each has a lifetime guaranty and is a

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS The Body Shop report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel body shop face value Several years ago I was a loyal Body Shop user I swore by the Japanese Washing Grains and the Passion Fruit Cleansing Gel Then my skin became sensitive and I couldn t use those products anymore At the same time my skin changed I discovered Garden Botanika and my Body Shop loyalty faded away It wasn t until recently when the weather started changing from summer to fall that I thought about The Body Shop again They had just come out with some new skin care products called Face Value and I was looking for a new fall winter routine Why not give it a shot Much to my surprise after talking to a Body Shop employee about my skin she offered me a sample kit to try at home complete with every step of the routine Since my skin type is changing I got one kit for normal to oily and one for normal to dry skin So what did I think of the products Here s a list of the samples I got plus how I feel about them Balancing Cleansing Gel for Normal to Oily Skin 9 for 6 76oz I think if it were the beginning of summer and I needed a good gel cleanser this one is great If your skin is oily all year round this cleanser takes off all your makeup isn t drying and doesn t sting your eyes For me my skin gets drier in the fall and throughout the winter so this product was a bit too drying Equalizing Freshener for Normal to Oily Oily Skin 8 for 6 76oz I was amazed that my face did not react badly to this product because it is mostly alcohol and witch hazel both of which I tend to react to If your skin is oily all the time this toner may be good but it s hard for me to recommend something with mostly alcohol and witch hazel Light Moisture Lotion for Normal to Oily Skin 16 for 3 38oz I seriously considered buying this product It is a nice light lotion that I think is best served for combination skin Since winter is just around the corner I decided I need something a bit more emollient than this If your skin is more combination or slightly normal to oily this lotion would be a good choice The only thing missing is a sunscreen Exfoliating Lotion for All Skin Types 9 for 6 76oz I definitely did not like this toner The label says it is for all skin types but I have to disagree It is basically a low grade AHA type product with alcohol and witch hazel thrown in Just about every ingredient in there can make your face red and dried out Unless your skin is really strong avoid this toner and choose a more skin friendly AHA product Foaming Cleansing Cream for Normal to Dry Skin 9 for 6 7oz After testing this cleanser both in the morning and after a full day of work and a full face of makeup I decided it was the winner in my search for a fall winter cleanser Not only did it take off all my makeup it left my face feeling comfortable and normal imagine that If your skin is mostly normal with a hint of dryness this cleanser is a great choice It rinses off easily with just water and doesn t feel greasy at all You also need to use very little so the bottle should last a long time Hydrating Freshener for Normal to Dry Dry Skin 8 for 6 76oz I think this has to be the best toner freshener I have ever used It smells really nice is really soothing and it didn t irritate my face at all For a long time I thought toners fresheners were an unnecessary step but this one definitely changed my mind Hydrating Moisture Lotion for Normal to Dry Skin 13 for 3 38oz Yet another winner in my fall winter skin care search This is a nice lotion that absorbs quickly and isn t greasy or heavy This is probably best for someone with truly normal to dry skin since it is not emollient enough for very dry skin This one is missing sunscreen too so you ll have to get that from a separate product or your foundation Intense Moisture Mask Between autumn and winter when the chilly weather has settled in and winter wind and snow are just around the corner my favorite face saver product is a moisturizing treatment mask I think a good one has to be both moisturizing and soothing so I was delighted to find this mask really does the job The gel formula takes just five minutes to work its magic and it doesn t leave a greasy film on your face Brow and Lash Gel 7 After learning how to use shadow and an angled brush to make my brows look fit and polished having a gel like this to hold them in place is a real help This clear gel is handy for brows as well as lashes either under or instead of mascara Many other lines make a brow gel like this but I think this one is a great choice at a very reasonable price Eyebrow Makeup 8 For an all in one eyebrow kit this compact has everything you need The waxy powder comes in three colors light medium and dark in a refillable compact with a mirror and an angled brush What more could you want SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER MAY 97 MAKEUP 101 BLUSH AND EYESHADOW For most of us getting started with makeup is a real challenge What colors should I choose How do I know what looks good on me Then as if it wasn t complicated enough already how do you know how to put it all on I m here to get you on the road to understanding makeup Welcome to Makeup 101 your personal makeup application lesson This month learn how to choose the right blush and eye shadow colors to suit you and easy application techniques that take the guesswork out of looking your best Now that you are ready to go with everything you learned from last month s lesson on foundation it s time to add some color One of the easiest ways to get that healthy color is with blush however blush is the one product that is most commonly misused How many times have you seen a woman with a bright pink or peach streak on her cheeks that is supposed to be blush but looks more like racing stripes Applying blush the right way is as easy as 1 2 3 Here s how If your blush came with one of those little compact size blush brushes THROW IT AWAY Those brushes are way too small and the bristles aren t shaped properly to apply the color in a natural looking way If it s racing stripes you want that s just what you ll get with a bad brush You don t have to spend a fortune on a good blush brush you just need one that s fairly full and round with tapered sides for better blending I personally use MAC s 135 because its soft bristles and rounded shape apply the color very softly for a subtle look Don t try to reshape your face with blush and contour colors You can accentuate your face and your cheeks naturally by just smiling Smile and you ll see the apple of your cheeks the fleshy part that stands out the most which is the exact spot to put your blush Swipe your brush across your blush several times then tap the excess blush off before you apply it to your face Don t blow on the bristles or you ll introduce the bacteria from your mouth onto the brush Now that the brush has a light layer of blush on it apply it to the apples of your cheeks and blend up and back toward your hairline Your blush should enhance your face and the rest of your makeup not compete with it If you are wearing red lipstick don t wear peach or bronze blush For the most natural looking makeup try to keep all your colors either warm think peach or cool think pink If you aren t sure what blush color will look best on your skin just look at your cheeks after you ve been exercising That color is your natural blush color so keep that color in mind when you are shopping You ve got a little color now but you aren t done yet Simple eye makeup can really bring out your eyes and you don t need six different shadows to do it For everyday I like to use one lid color one highlight color and one liner color shadow or pencil depending on your preference If you pick neutral shades like browns grays and plums you can actually create several different looks from just three colors To choose an eye shadow lid color that will really bring out your eye color think back to the color wheel you learned about in elementary school Choosing complementary colors those opposite each other on the color wheel gives you the most contrast and makes each color stand out What does this mean for eye shadow If you have brown eyes shades of blue blue gray and plum will make your eyes stand out If you have green eyes choose shades of pink salmon mauve and brownish pink to make the green look greener If you have blue eyes shades of brown camel and taupe will make the blue appear even more blue For highlight and liner stick with neutral colors like beige for highlight and deep brown navy or charcoal for liner Now you re ready to apply Lid Color Since the lid color is going to be the focal point of your eye makeup the part that makes your eyes stand out the most I like to use a good eye shadow brush and a good quality shadow that is soft blends easily and won t crease Applying eye shadow isn t tricky you just need to remember a few simple tips Always tap the excess shadow off the brush before you apply it to your lid otherwise all the extra will fall into your eye or smear on your cheek Work slowly and deliberately Plan where you want to the shadow to go and don t be afraid to take your time to get it right especially with liner Blend the edges of the color using a clean brush so there are no obvious lines between where color starts and ends Using the eye shadow color you ve chosen for your lid swipe your brush across the color a few times tap off the excess then apply the shadow across your lid in small strokes Don t get too close to the crease or to your brow bone since that s where the highlighter goes Highlight Highlighting is the easiest step in eye makeup Using a small eye shadow brush pick up a bit of the color with the brush tap off any excess and apply to the area just under your eye brows You should be able to cover it in one sweep Now clean off the brush on a piece of tissue or a towel and use the cleaned brush to blend the highlighter color down into the edge of the lid color so there s no obvious line I really use a highlight color more as a blending and softening color rather than adding more color to your eyes Liner Personally I like using a dark shadow and a flat square liner brush much better than pencils Pencils can drag smear cake and leave little blobs on your eyelid that inevitably fall into your eye Using a dark eye shadow like a deep brown navy or charcoal please no black and a liner brush with fairly stiff bristles I like Trish McEvoy s 11 and Bobbi Brown s Eye Liner Brush you can get the same defining effect as a pencil without a heavy pencil line If you are just starting out with shadow as liner you could even use the tip of a pointed sponge applicator instead of a brush the control isn t as good but it ll do in a pinch Start by pointing the brush applicator straight down into the shadow then swipe the edge of the brush applicator tip across the shadow several times Tap off any extra then use the edge of the brush applicator with the color on it to draw a thin line as close to the base of your lashes as possible Make sure to start at the inside corner of your eye and work all the way out to the outer corner You can work in short strokes if it s easier rather than trying to draw one long line I also like to line only the top lid but you can do the lower the very same way if you like Experiment to see which look suits the shape of your eyes That s all there is to it Practice with different colors to see what suits you the best and for a little more fun don t be afraid to experiment with colors like pastel pink baby blue mint green and soft lilac Pastels are fun and youthful just make sure you use just a little on the lid only Next month our final lesson is The Finishing Touches Eyebrows and Lips See you then SHOP Get what you need plus

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Bloom Lip Glaze report by Nava of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Bloom is a fun young Australian line All the products are aromatherapy based and smell wonderful I first remember reading about the Pamper Packs and lip balms about two years ago The line has expanded to include color cosmetics skin care candles and aromatherapy oils Bits and pieces of the line soon appeared at my local Bloomingdales and in a few mail order catalogs Then about three months ago I was browsing in the Sephora at Garden State Plaza in Paramus NJ when I stumbled upon a Bloom cosmetics display That was where I first discovered Lip Glaze I ve mentioned previously my passion for lip gloss Due to my product junkie tendencies my passion is now an all encompassing obsession Lipsticks balms salves glosses you name it I buy it Although I will admit I m always partial to gloss What first attracted me to Bloom s Lip Glaze was the packaging It comes in a tube identical to Vaseline s Lip Therapy Now the purists out there including my oldest and dearest best friend scoff at my 12 tube of Lip Glaze for this very reason Is the extra money burning holes in my pockets Why can t I just buy a 1 50 tube of Lip Therapy and spare myself the added expense Well let me tell you why First of all Lip Glaze is nothing like petroleum jelly In fact it does not contain any petroleum at all It smells great tastes yummy and adds a healthy tint of color When was the last time anyone ever said that about Vaseline Lip Glaze comes in five sheer colors Each is shiny and slightly sparkly Glow is my favorite It is a totally clear supershiny gloss that I absolutely adore I carry one with me everywhere While I m never totally comfortable primping in public I never hesitate to slick on my Glow Lip Glaze whenever possible It keeps my lips soft shiny and gets me through until I can reapply my lip color No finger dipping or brush wielding necessary Gleam is a light shimmery peachy pink Once applied the color is only slightly discernible on the lips so for all intents and purposes this shade can be considered clear as well Glitz is a rosy pink Glisten a deeper sparkly pink taupe and Glimmer is a shimmery brown They can be worn alone or over lipstick Bloom products are available at Sephora stores and at Sephora com as well as beautyjungle com beautycafe com and gloss com You can now also browse an expanded Bloom selection at most Bloomingdales department stores Happy Shopping review 12 99 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Bliss Spa report by Edith of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Now that summer is here I thought it was time to put a little more thought into lip care since I tend to forget that lips too need extra attention this time of year In my quest I had the opportunity to try two new products from Bliss the trendy New York City spa of the rich and famous that s forging out into its own product line The first product Solar Stick is an spf 25 stick balm that reports can be used on lips eyes cheekbones and other parts of the face It contains broad spectrum protection which means it blocks UV A UV B and UV C length light rays and calendula chamomile and vitamin E to soothe skin The other product Moistick is a moisturizing lip balm with vegetable oil mineral oil castor oil paraffin beeswax In general both products are good Not great but good Bliss has committed some errors in the design of these products that are understandable but unfortunately for them inescapable First as for Moistick it s a pretty good product It s a hearty thick stick to your lips kind of balm It doesn t come off even when eating or drinking and does a good job of moisturizing and sealing lips against drying It has no taste and it smells vaguely of fresh coconut though it doesn t contain any coconut oil just Fragrance E5862 the idea of which creeps me out a bit The problem is that the tube Bliss has chosen to package Moistick is rectangular and a full inch wide making it way too difficult to apply Try to put Moistick on your lips in the car or when you re not really paying attention and you ll likely get slimed way outside your lipline What s worse once slimed it s such a sturdy balm that you never really get it off completely And don t even think about putting it on over lipstick unless you want clown lips I shudder to think what the stick will look like in a few months all the edges worn down and the center untouched Solar Stick comes in the same package but because it is made for use all over the face the design makes a bit more sense It s a light unscented sunscreen that is targeted for beach enthusiasts What I initially found curious was why it was targeted for sunbathers rather than active outdoor enthusiasts The package design is far better suited to athletes rather than beach bunnies Once I tried the product however I found out why The sunblock is to be perfectly honest greasy for a good 10 minutes after application Once the 10 minutes is up it absorbs into the skin but until then you re best to stay out of any blowing dirt lest you look like a dustdevil Also my use of Solar Stick on my eyes and forehead while playing flag football became a rather painful affair as my sweat caused the product to run into my eyes and burn Needless to say Solar Stick is best used under conditions that don t create perspiration Overall both product are fine but until Bliss makes some serious packaging and formulation changes I think I ll be sticking to my favorite lip balm and sunscreen for the time being Now I just have to remember to use them SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Komenuka Bijin report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Facial Clean Powder 36 for 30 packets Let me start off by saying I like aspects of this product and I think it s a mostly clever idea Facial Clean Powder comes packaged in small paper packets that look like a stick of chewing gum with 30 packets per box Each packet contains a light cleansing scrub powder made of rice bran collagen glycyrrhiza licorice root aloe seaweed chamomile honey and coconut oil The idea is that each packet has three applications inside so you only pour out about a third of the packet and mix it with water each time you wash your face What I do like about this product is that the scrubbing action is very gentle the textured part breaks down into a light lather as you wash and the powder has a very nice aroma of honey What I find very annoying about this product is the packaging Trying to keep the little paper packets from disintegrating around water like by the sink or in the shower is next to impossible I also found it very difficult to dispense the right amount of powder and ended up going through the product rather quickly The company offers a pre mixed version called Facial Cleansing Foam but since the rice bran breaks down so easily the foam 40 for 3 3 oz at Beauty Habit does not exfoliate at all I decided with about 15 packets left I am going to open them all and pour the powder into a container with a lid and just dispense the amount I need If you decide to try this you might want to do the same Skin Lotion 40 for 120ml With my Beauty Habit order they generously threw in samples of this toner and the Komenuka Bijin eye gel I did like this alcohol free toner but it is not amazing enough to spend 40 really is any toner worth that much This one has rice bran aloe chamomile seaweed sake and Japanese towel gourd but it s still not worth that kind of money Eye Moisture Gel 50 for 40ml Again I like this eye gel but not enough to spend 50 bucks It contains rice bran aloe liquat leaf mint balm and lemon and has a light cream gel consistency that leaves the eye area very moist and supple I don t think it performs any better than other basic eye treatments I ve tried like Garden Botanika Beauty Without Cruelty or Kiehl s so I am not jumping to recommend it You can find Komenuka Bijin products at beautyhabit com eve com

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Komenuka Bijin report by Jennifer of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I have been anxious to try this line and eagerly awaited my samples which I received from Beautyhabit com Komenuka Bijin translated from Japanese means rice bran beautiful person This line contains 100 natural ingredients and is free form synthetic fragrances I must preface this review by telling you that after using some samples I did purchase one product and had one of the best buying experiences on line or off Not only was it simple and quick but I received lots of samples with my order and a handwritten thank you note Facial Cleansing Powder 30 Packs 33 LOVE at first try Yes I am that enthusiastic about this product I began using it as a sample and after only 2 tries I knew I had to have a plentiful supply of this stuff It comes in a tub with individually wrapped packets great for travel Each packet is good for 2 uses not the 3 they advertise The cleanser comes in powder form You blend some of the powder in the palm of your hand mix with water and voila it exfoliates As each granule disintegrates it creates a foaming action to cleanse It is extremely gentle and invigorating at the same time It left my skin feeling smooth and clean This product contains wonderful ingredients such as rice bran chamomile seaweed and honey A must try Skin Lotion Toner 38 This is meant to be used after cleansing to hydrate and tone the skin I found neither to be the case There was nothing particularly special about this toner although I have to say it was not at all drying For the price I would stick to some less expensive toners Moisture Cream 40 Moisturizing is by far one of my favorite steps in my sknicare regime Because I have such dry skin I love the soothing effects of a good moisturizer and yes this is good I used it in the evening and it left my skin feeling very fresh and dewy This will be the next product I order UV Cream SPF 13 40 This tinted moisturizer is very nice but I prefer an even creamier texture and with the SPF only being 13 I would probably choose another daytime moisturizer especially in my area of the country So there you have it definitely a line to look out for You can find Komenuka Bijin products at beautyhabit com eve com and beautyjungle com SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Better Botanicals report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Spring is almost here and I don t know about you but my skin is ready for an overhaul After months of miserable rainy Oregon weather my face looks about as fresh and smooth as a burlap bag I ve got a whole bathroom full of masks and scrubs some good some I should just throw away but I wanted something new that is effective but also really gentle To the rescue Refining Facial Mask 17 50 for 2 ounce tube I love this mask Although it says for combination oily skin I found it to be surprisingly gentle on my normal to dry but acne prone skin The clay isn t overly drying and there are plant oils like neem healing lavender soothing and cucumber refreshing that leave the skin feeling fresh and comfortable The first time I was able to take a bubble bath alone after having my baby I used this mask and felt like a new woman afterwards My blemishes looked less red and my skin had a rested glow that definitely did not come from sleep For regular maintenance of my newly smoothed complexion I decided to also try Clarifying Facial Scrub 15 for 2 ounce tube It has sandalwood rose and aloe to soothe along with almond meal pineapple clay and honey to exfoliate If you like a really gentle scrub or use a scrub every day this is a nice choice because it s not overly scrubby it s less grainy than most scrubs I ve tried For those times when you want a fresh face feeling without over stimulating your skin this scrub from Better Botanicals is worth trying review 3 12 99 My dried out nails are always joined by dry itchy hands Better Botanicals an Ayurvedic based botanical skin care company from Washington D C just came out with a Kokum Butter Body Balm 14 99 for 8 ounces that is the best for dry skin Not only does it make my itchy hands feel better but for all you expectant moms it s been great on my pregnant belly Kokum butter is rich in essential fatty acids good for your skin it actually penetrates better than shea or cocoa butter less greasy too and this balm lotion is enriched with antioxidant and tonic herbs like watercress betel leaf and wild tumeric to help stimulate the skin and boost circulation Did I mention it smells good enough to eat review 11 06 98 For more information on these and other products from Better Botanicals visit their website

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS BeneFit Cosmetics report by Lindsey of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel When I opened the BeneFit spring colors I was going to review I almost wished it were Halloween because upon first impression these colors appeared very out of date I was sure they would make great costume make up I am a big fan of BeneFit Creaseless Creme Shadows speed bump is my favorite The new spring colors are have her home by and my date s my brother When in the little pot have her home by is truly what I would call Sparkly Avocado Green The first thing that came to mind was Who would wear this and actually look GOOD I never thought I would leave the house wearing green eye shadow but when applied it is very sheer and goes on just as smoothly as other colors I have tried It doesn t really look green as it blends in with your own skin tone to give a nice glow my date s my brother is a light marine blue also with shimmer When applied it too gives a sheer glow with hints of periwinkle I intend to use these colors for an upcoming Caribbean vacation because they let you have a fresh glowing look when applied to the entire lid Very tropical yet not gaudy and I giggle at the prom theme color names for spring Two of the newest lip gloss colors 12 are corsage and slow dance prom theme again I had never tried BeneFit lip glosses before so I was a willing guinea pig I must say I am disappointed Both lip glosses are gritty maybe from the micro glitter and feel like they are trying to exfoliate your lips Both smell like strawberries too YUK unless you re 12 Of the two colors I preferred corsage because it is a sheer sparkly white and would enhance just about any lipstick slow dance is the epitome of the cotton candy pink trend some years back Since pink is IN this year I really tried to make slow dance work for me but this lip gloss just does not go on evenly and makes me look like a bad 70s teen idol I believe that if the lip gloss formula were updated the colors would stand the test of time Although not necessarily in the new spring collection I was also very eager to try Mr Frosty 14 because of the current white eyes trend This pearly white chubby pencil can help do that but I was still skeptical that I wouldn t like the white look on me Although the pencil goes on smoothly I didn t like the fact that it went on unevenly leaving little chunks here and there This pencil is just too chubby to be able to use it subtly What is nice is the look it gives although I found that I needed to blend a lighter shade shadow with it or else my eyes would look lost I did use it on the inside of my lower lids although your eye doctor will tell you not to put ANY make up here and it brightened my eyes up a little I have very big eyes so I imagine this would be a better product for those with smaller eyes that need opening up I like the white pencil for the evening look and also think it would look great with a tan but I don t think I would use it everyday Another product to accomplish the white look is Lightening 18 for 4 ounces This body lotion has such subtle highlights in it that I bet I could even get my 50 mom to wear it Sorry Mother This lotion goes on very smoothly and gives my skin a dewy look whether used on face legs arms or cleavage Even if I m all covered up during the winter I like to use Lightening as a hand lotion It s not greasy and gives me soft skin for hours I recommend this for those of you who think all of the shimmer products out there today are just for the girls For shimmering ethereal faces BeneFit has High Beam This pink shimmering lotion comes in a small bottle with a brush applicator It has a really nice consistency compared with similar products from other brands and blends more easily than others I ve tried BeneFit is not first out with this product I bought one from Maybelline 2 years ago that wasn t half bad and MAC has a multipurpose cream compact than doesn t blend as easily as High Beam If you just want to experiment I recommend the drugstore brands because they re only 5 7 versus High Beam for 18 for 5 oz You can find BeneFit products online at eve com and benefitcosmetics com review

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS BeneFit report by Melinda of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel You know you ve found a good cosmetics company when you ask for samples and the sales woman brings out a whole box of plastic trial size cases This is just what happened for me when I visited the BeneFit counter at Harrod s As I watched the saleswoman scoop my samples into their special plastic containers I wondered if Benefit was possibly the ultimate crunchy makeup company Afterall they have a policy of no animal testing use no animal by products steer clear of added perfumes and to top it all off are based in San Francisco If you buy from Origins one of BeneFit s competitors in the green makeup market you know deep down in your heart that your money is going towards the Estee Lauder makeup empire but if you buy from BeneFit you re supporting the underdog in the market This is part of BeneFit s appeal One of the first questions the BeneFit saleswoman asked me when I told her I was interested in their skin care range was Do you like to use water I have combination skin which becomes prone to dryness in the winter especially by using water morning and night but my answer was still a resounding yes I used BeneFit s All Type Cleanser for three days and was thoroughly impressed it felt like it was moisturising my face at the same time as it was cleansing it And there was no added fragrance so there was no overwhelming smell just that of the natural ingredients which is a plus in my book At 11 95 U S 13 it s a bit steep but a nice treat for once in a while I m returning to Harrod s to splurge on this little baby My second sample from BeneFit was the Azulene Toner for combination skin I ve never been a big toner fan since they usually dry out my skin and besides some of them can hurt like hell when you apply them But this one was different in fact it was so gentle it was almost like taking a cotton swab and rubbing water all over your face There was no sting and it didn t try out my face BeneFit s toner provides a refreshing extra step in your skincare routine that is if you have the time to bother with toner One interesting thing to note is that there was only a trace of makeup and dirt left on the cotton ball not a heavy brown smudge left by other toners This puzzled me since I d thought witch hazel which is the second ingredient in BeneFit s toner was more powerful than that Perhaps it simply shows how good the All Type Cleanser is If you re a toner devotee and prefer gentle toners that won t sting your face this is a good choice At 11 95 US 13 I m not buying this product however I will be trying to talk my mom into buying it for me On to the moisturisers I was given two different moisturisers Hyaluronic Creme and Vita Hydrating Creme The Hyaluronic Creme was again aimed at those with combination skin while the Vita Hydrating Creme was more of a heavy duty moisturizer for those with extra dry skin The Hyaluronic Creme is a thick rich creme enriched with vitamins A D I wondered later why BeneFit had omitted one of the best vitamins for skin vitamin E but unfortunately I didn t think at the time to ask It was absorbed by my skin in about thirty minutes and was a good moisturiser but I ll wager the Body Shop s Vitamin E Moisturiser would do just as good a job at a third of the price BeneFit is asking 18 50 U S 20 cheap compared to similar moisturisers offered by other companies e g Este Lauder and Lanc me still I m not sufficiently impressed to fork over the money The Vita Hydrating Creme has a stiff texture think white frosting and a more off white tinge it was a really good product providing Serious Moisture to my cheeks and throat I wish I d have known about Vita Hydrating Creme at the beginning of winter it probably would have saved my skin Overall I m intrigued by BeneFit and will be looking into their makeup range next You can find BeneFit products online at eve com and

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS BeneFit report by Anne of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel BeneFit is a cosmetic line that likes to have fun and that s exactly what my sister and I had at Henri Bendels recently at a BeneFit makeup event The national artist in from San Francisco is very talented and has a great personality BeneFit has a lot of interesting and unique products but for our make overs the artist concentrated on the basics Clean Sweep is a toner like cleanser that was gentle to my oily skin and really took off all my make up It could be a great product to have available when you can t use your favorite wash off cleanser He then used Lemon aid to prime the eyes and Boi ing concealer Both are heavy products but my eye shadow make it through the day with the help of the Lemon aid base For foundation he applied Sheer Genius a very sheer light powder It felt weightless on my skin and reminded me somewhat of MAC s Blot Powder The blush was an interesting loose powder called Color Wash which is applied with a fantail brush for a soft look It seemed messy to me but it does give a very soft look With lots of eye shadows to choose from he used Bikini frosted and In the Nude matte with a soft bone matte as a base color for a very soft neutral look He made my eyes pop with Meow eye pencil The eye and lip pencils are very soft in texture and the neutral colors are meant to be used on either lips or eyes If you are a pencil person BeneFit definitely has something for you There was a nice variety of lipsticks to choose from He used Reckless a malted mauve that is very different from my usual MAC Twig My 21 year old sister loved it on me It was a very different look He advised brown mascara for daytime which didn t seem to lengthen my lashes much BeneFit s brushes are very reasonably priced and worth a look My favorite is the Get Bent eye liner brush It makes using powder as liner easy All in all BeneFit is a fun line with some interesting products You can find BeneFit products online at eve com and benefitcosmetics com SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS BeneFit report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel BeneFit is similar in many ways to other lines like MAC and Stila but BeneFit has something a little different a collection of speciality products designed to solve beauty problems like thin lips tired eyes and general cosmetic boredom It was for these products that BeneFit caught my attention not for the basic eye shadow and lipstick colors you could find anywhere Boi ing Concealer 15 I m not much of a concealer user since I usually just use my foundation on dark circles or red spots but I do like this one from BeneFit It is rather heavy duty so a little goes a long way With a small dab of Boi ing and a light touch my dark under eye circles and a few pesky red blotches disappeared easily and without looking cakey For a few small areas this concealer works well Be careful in areas where you have fines lines though since it can settle in if it s not blended out well Lip Plump 15 I have experimented several times with this product and I still can t get it to work properly The idea is that Lip Plump acts like a base for your lipstick by filling in fine lines and making a more even surface The product is a light beige color like light colored skin No matter how little I used I still couldn t get it to set properly so as soon as I put my lipstick on the two colors smeared together to make a sort of muddy mess Ick I m glad I tried Lip Plump but I m afraid I can t recommend it Creme Eyeshadow 12 each in Naughty Feather Big Apple Speed Bump and Me Too With cream and shimmer shadows being the thing these days I thought trying BeneFit s Creaseless Cremes would be a good test At the Sharper Image Spa were I did some of my testing they had very convenient displays of colors for certain hair and eye color I chose Naughty Feather and Big Apple from the display for blue eyes Naughty Feather is a slightly shimmery pinkish nude that I found was great for a quick no fuss eye makeup look Big Apple is a sort of dark gray lavender that was more matte that Naughty Feather and looked great smudged in the crease or as liner After using both for several days I found the formula consistently performed well without sliding flaking or creasing all day Even though it is quite a bit more expensive than the Nat Robbins cream to powder shadow I reviewed several weeks ago I like this one better for its great staying power Speed Bump perky pale lilac and Me Too soft sky blue are also great in the moment colors Seaweed Mud Mask 19 for 2 ounces I instantly liked the consistency of this mask easy to spread not too thick and you don t need a ton to cover your whole face It s also a nice tan color rather than a scary black or green What makes this mask different from others I ve tried is that you keep it moist by spritzing your face with water every 2 minutes for a total of 20 minutes While this can be a bit of a pain I liked the feeling of the moist mask much better than the ones that dry and crack After 20 minutes of watering my face I rinsed off the mask and noticed a marked improvement in the drier areas of my face All the flaky patches and uncomfortable tightness felt soft and smooth If you want to give your face a moisture boost this mask from BeneFit really delivers Editor s Note This mask has since been discontinued Eye Bright stick 13 I like how BeneFit has these fun little treatment products called their itty bitty fake its but I can t figure this one out It is supposed to be applied to the inner and outer corners of the eyes to give a brightening effect to tired looking eyes I applied it and blended but it just looked like I had whitish spots in the corners of my eyes Not exactly uplifting I won t say this product is bad just don t waste your money if you think it ll work miracles Alpha Smooth 5 AHA toner 18 for 5 56 ounces After using BeneFit s Seven AHA cream for several months with great results I added the Alpha Smooth toner to my cleansing routine and saw a real difference in some more stubborn areas especially minimizing the number of blackheads and little forehead bumps I was worried that a toner with 5 glycolic acid would irritate my sensitive skin but it is actually one of the gentlest toners I ve ever used the 4th ingredient is aloe vera gel For a toner that actually does something this is a terrific choice Alpha Clean 5 AHA cleanser 18 for 5 56 ounces I have been so pleased with BeneFit s Alpha Smooth alpha hydroxy toner and Seven night cream that I took the plunge and ordered their Alpha Clean 5 AHA cleanser with volcanic mud I was skeptical when I read for normal to dry skin on the label but it turned out to be very gentle and non drying aloe vera gel is the first ingredient Although I never thought AHAs in a cleanser would do much good this one is gentle enough to leave on the face for a minute or two then rinse away so you do get some exfoliating benefits While it does remove foundation and the daily grime you definitely need a separate eye makeup remover you would not want to get this stuff in your eyes Eye Lift 25 for one ounce I finally found a BeneFit product that really didn t thrill me Eye Lift This eye cream claims to smooth and tighten the eye area for me the plant extracts were more of an irritant than a soother Any eye cream can temporarily smooth wrinkles by plumping them up with moisture and this one is no different It does help reduce puffiness but the overall possibility for irritation makes it hard for me to recommend especially at this price Rosewater Tonic 14 for 4 ounces After finishing my all time favorite toner BeneFit s Alpha Smooth I decided to try their Rosewater Tonic for combination normal to dry complexions to see how it would compare While it doesn t have the benefits of alpha hydroxy acid the Rosewater Tonic works well as a basic toner for just about any skin type The second ingredient is witch hazel which can be irritating to some sensitive skins but I found it to be surprisingly soothing and refreshing Otherwise this is a no frills toner that is perfect for someone who loves the smell of roses Boo Boo Zap acne treatment 16 Acne lotions and creams are a dime a dozen so this one could be considered just another to add to the pile but I found it actually worked On small pimples whiteheads and those blemishes that are just under the skin s surface this liquid blend of camphor and salicylic acid really help and are surprisingly effective at eliminating the redness that typically goes with these kinds of blemishes Because of the clear liquid consistency you can even dab it on over makeup Ooh La Lift eye cream and highlighter 16 This is not the most moisturizing eye cream I ve ever used so if your eye area is really dry choose something else for moisture What this pink cream is great for is highlighting the brow area and perking up tired looking eyes Dabbing a little under your eyes really makes you look more awake great if you have to go out after a long day Lemon Aid eyelid color corrector 16 While I like the effect that Lemon Aid gives to conceal discolorations shadows and veins on the eye lid it s not much different from using a regular concealer or foundation It conceals okay and acts as a base for eyeshadow but if you don t powder it it creases I imagine too that the stark yellow color might not blend very well dark skin tones Save the 16 and use your regular concealer Gilded gold pencil 14 For a very fun evening or going out look I love this fat crayon pencil for eyes lips over lipstick or alone and cheeks over blush or alone The sparkly gold color looks glamourous and gives a whole new look to your usual makeup colors Very fun BeneTint lip and cheek stain 24 For a fresh outdoor look great for a casual weekend or lazy summer day BeneFit s BeneTint gives a healthy rosey glow that lasts longer than any regular blush or lipstick BeneTint s red liquid mix of real rose petals and soothing glycerin comes bottled like nail polish with a brush on the cap and a blending sponge If you like no fuss makeup BeneTint delivers great all day color One small note it works better on bare cheeks when it hits foundation it dries too quickly to blend Try putting it on first then apply foundation lightly over it High Beam highlighting cream 18 If you are into the dewy look for makeup but hate slathering on a ton of moisturizer High Beam is just what you ve been looking for Dab this lightweight liquid on cheeks forehead anywhere you want a subtle glow then just blend You can wear it alone or under foundation for a fresh glowing complexion Smoo ch lipbalm 15 Everyone has their favorites when it comes to lip balm so if you like it thick and emollient Smoo ch is for you Personally I prefer Kiehl s lip balm for under lipstick but Smoo ch is terrific for combatting super dry lips at night The rich waxy lotion like texture coats your lips to moisturize through the night so you wake up with less flakiness Wonderbod 10 AHA body lotion 24 for 8 ounces For a body lotion with an extra kick Wonderbod 10 AHA lotion outperforms regular body lotions by smoothing the skin in two ways it hydrates and exfoliates Use this lotion for a few weeks on legs elbows wherever and you can say goodbye to scaly dry skin Be warned however that the peppery tingle the label warns about is pretty strong so do a spot test to make sure your skin can handle it My sensitive skin was seriously itchy for several minutes the first two or three times I applied it then it subsided Sheer Genius powder foundation 26 For oily skin this powder foundation is a great find It has smooth coverage a silky feel and actually control oils without caking The only drawback is a small rage of colors only four doesn t quite suit everybody The lightest shade Vanilla is so pink it looks like blush Champagne Honey and Peek a boo go from medium beige to cafe au lait Matte Tint liquid foundation 20 If you prefer a liquid Matte Tint is another great choice for oily skin and it comes in 8 colors The texture is amazingly lightweight and easy to blend You can adjust the coverage to make it as light and natural or as full and dramatic as you want without feeling like you have on a mask You can find BeneFit products online at eve com and benefitcosmetics com SHOP Get what you need plus save time and

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER JULY AUGUST 99 ONLINE SHOPPING REVIEW With the explosion of beauty shopping sites online readers like you have been asking me where the best places are to shop who has the best service and where to get hard to find products Click here for my review of eve com Bellisima Shopping adventure 2 was at Bellisima an online version of the Tucson Arizona beauty boutique After poking around at the variety of brands they have like Get Fresh Paint Job Remede and Vincent Longo I decided to try Aesop Aesop is an Australian botanical skin and hair care company that has gotten quite a few mentions in the press over the last several years As with most skin care lines with products that are 30 and up each I was skeptical How much better would these products be than something seemingly similar for less money And Aesop is yet another line touting botanical ingredients would it really be unique and different For the most part the answer is a refreshing yes After browsing the Aesop collection on Bellisima I did some research on the Aesop company site One of the most refreshing notions that really stood out to me is that they do not advocate using 50 million different potions for every centimeter of your face They believe in simple straightforward skin and hair care that comes from natural sources and doesn t involve hurting the environment or animals Sounds good to me I decided to try the sampler travel pack of their most popular skin care Amazing Face Cleanser and Mandarin Face Cream packaged in a Fresh Skin Care Box for 30 You get 30ml about one ounce bottles of each which may not seem like much but both are concentrated formulas like most Aesop products Amazing Face Cleanser 35 for full size 200ml This cleanser has gentle cleansing agents and plant extracts of ylang ylang tangerine and lavender and is best for oily normal to oily or combination skin It lathers nicely without stripping leaving that squeaky clean feeling that s perfect for summer and you don t need a toner It also does a good job of removing makeup just take care near sensitive eyes as the essential oils can be potentially irritating I liked this cleanser and was bummed when I finished the 30ml travel container which lasted an amazing 2 weeks with daily use Mandarin Face Cream 40 for full size 175ml This ultralight cream with hazelnut oil rosehip oil sesame oil carrot oil wheatgerm vitamin E and mandarin lemon and lemon verbana extracts has become an indispensable part of my evening skincare routine I have been using erythromycin gel and Differin to control hormonal acne for the last 6 months or so and this is one of the few creams I ve used over my medicine that doesn t interfere with it Just a pea sized amount gives my skin the moisture it needs without feeling oily or greasy but it s also not a matte finish which doesn t work for me I needed something in the middle that would hydrate my normal to dry skin but not trigger my acne This is it and I would seriously consider buying the full size jar when this traveler is empty In terms of the Bellisima shopping experience products are easy to find and ordering is simple The dropdown menu list of brands and of categories on every page makes finding what you want a snap The only downside is that the products are listed alphabetically if you are interested in makeup like Vincent Longo Water Canvas foundation it s not listed as Water Canvas but with the shade name like Bisque Water Canvas Unless you know the colors you have no way of knowing which is the lightest or darkest which is more yellow or more pink etc This method of shopping works only if you already know what you want There are also no photos no color swatches and very few product descriptions Again you have to know what you want Ordering on Bellisima was pretty easy When you decide what you want you click on the pink dot next to the product to add it to your shopping bag You re taken to the My Shopping Bag page where you can review your order so far and select your preferred method of shipping When you are ready to check out you enter in your shipping billing information and that s it I ordered on July 8th using standard UPS 3 day shipping and my package arrived on the 12th Everything made it in good condition and there was a nice selection of samples in the box like Molton Brown Ultra Smooth Body Lotion and Warming Eucalyptus Shower Gel one ounce bottle of each Remede Sweep scrub foil packet and Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanilla Apricot and Pineapple perfumed towelettes It was a nice touch that adds a personal element to the shopping experience For more information on Bellisima visit www Bellisima com To learn more about Aesop skin care check out their site at www aesop net au They have an amazing informational area under Beauty Editors with details about their products what they do and who they were created for as well as tons of other interesting content on their ingredients philosophies and more unlike most other cosmetic company sites This is easily the best cosmetic company site I have ever seen and you know I don t say that lightly SHOP Get what you need plus save

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS BeautiControl Regeneration Gold report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Adding to my collection of makeup colors is not my only beauty passion following the latest skin care breakthroughs is another hobby of mine At my age mid twenties I m only beginning to think about preventative wrinkle control My day to day interest is still controlling the occasional blemish or two Luckily alpha hydroxy acid products can target both acne and wrinkles by helping to keep pores clear and dead skin cells exfoliated Since I m always interested in trying AHAs from different lines I was happy to give Regeneration Gold 55 from BeautiControl a shot when my BeautiControl friend Jana told me about it What makes Regeneration Gold different from other AHAs I ve tried is the dual product system a gel in one chamber of the bottle a lotion in another When you pump the product into your hand you get a shot from each chamber that you are supposed to mix then apply to your face I must say that trying to read and understand the ingredients of this product almost requires a degree in chemistry BeautiControl claims that the lotion part is advanced alpha hydroxy acids which is apparent by the lactic acid and tartaric acid in the ingredient list along with a number of thickeners and emollients The gel portion is supposed to contain skin stimulating ingredients What those are I don t know but I can say it does contain some of the oddest chemical substances I have ever seen The end result when you mix them is a cream that feels tingly on the skin and really does make the skin look and feel smoother after just two weeks BeautiControl won t disclose what percentage or concentration of AHAs this product does contain but after using it for over three weeks I d say whatever it is does the job quite well I ve noticed my skin feels smoother in the areas that normally have little bumps I ve had fewer breakouts in my target areas and my skin color is more uniform and less ruddy on my cheeks No cream is a miracle product but if you are looking for a high powered AHA cream to help and the key word here is help soften lines normalize the skin and smooth rough spots BeautiControl s Regeneration Gold is a great choice SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Bath Body Works Beautiful by Nature report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel During a recent trip to the mall with my daughter I stopped at Bath Body Works to get a peek at their new makeup and I managed to pick up these few things The line also has liquid foundation setting powder lipstick and lipglosses and lip and eye liner pencils that I hope to add to this review soon Complexion Perfection Cream to Powder Makeup SPF10 Finding a cream to powder makeup that works for my combination sensitive skin is often a challenge Some formulas are too emollient and aggravate my acne while others are so dry and powdery they make me look like I m approaching 60 not 30 Unfortunately this one falls into the dry as a desert category and I can t say that I m really surprised It seems like Bath Body Works is targeting teens with this line and teens on average tend to have more oily skin The color I chose cream was a nice match for my skin but the texture of this makeup is just too dry for me First Blush Cheek Color in apple blossom I like the color of this blush a perky medium pink but it doesn t last as long on the skin as I d like The sheer quality is great if you like a very subtle look but the lack of pigment also means it fades by mid afternoon I would sooner use a fluffy brush for a lighter application with a better blush than waste my money on this one Catch My Eyeshadow in elder berry I was not thrilled with this eyeshadow basically for the same reason I wasn t captivated by the blush I like my shadow to last who doesn t and these just don t have enough pigment to wear all day I also had a noticeable problem with creasing and fading All Out Lengthening Mascara in black brown As mascaras go this is a decent one but nothing special I was not impressed with it and would not buy it again If you are looking for a great basic mascara at a reasonable price I d sooner recommend Max Factor 2000 Calorie

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Bath Body Works Clear Face Skin Care Line report by Alissa of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I really like the Face skin care line from Bath and Body Works so when I saw their new Clear Face line I had to give it a try If you don t have oily blemished skin or you are on Retin A or Accutane or other acne medication I would not recommend this line However if you suffer from occasional breakouts this is the line for you In The Clear Facial Cleanser Looking at the packaging you would swear that this was Neutrogena s Oil Free Acne Cleanser Upon use of this product you will discover that the packaging is the only similarity B BW s facial cleanser left my skin soft and clean without the harsh dryness of other blemish cleansers There is no medicinal smell that often accompanies blemish fighting cleansers Besides salicylic acid to prevent blemishes green tea aloe and willow bark are also key ingredients in this cleanser Green tea and aloe help to soothe the skin while willow bark keeps skin from drying a definite plus Also this product is oil free and soap free I would definitely recommend this product On The Spot Blemish Cream I really liked this product too After my skin broke out from a foundation I used this really helped to clear it up I found it to be extremely gentle to my skin and reduced the blemishes I had There was no chemical smell which I hate especially at night when I am trying to sleep I also like that this product was quick to eliminate existing blemishes Within three days my blemishes were gone I would recommend this product if you have had bad experiences with other blemish spot removers in the past All Nighter Deep Pore Cleanser I feel like I am having a Neutrogena flashback This product smelled like Neutrogena s Deep Pore Overnight Treatment and pretty much worked like it also This was one product from the Clear Face collection that I wasn t as impressed with It worked okay on my skin but I had the same results from Neutrogena Save your money on this product and just buy Neutrogena SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Bath Body Works report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel One of my favorite ways to try new skin care products is from samples or trial size kits so you can use the products for a few days to see what you think before making the financial investment Every September October I begin my search for fall winter skin care and this year I started at Bath Body Works with their new line simply named Face For 3 I got a great little kit with 1 2 days worth of cleanser toner day cream and night cream for my skin type plus a 3 coupon towards the purchase of full size products from 8 for 6 ounce cleanser to 15 for 1 7 ounce night cream Since the range of basic products is small product crossover from kit to kit was common both the toner and the night cream in the kit I got for dry skin was the same as in the kit for normal combination skin I liked all but the Creamy Cleanser it did a terrible job of removing even the light foundation I was wearing never mind any eye makeup I would hope the foaming face wash and cooling gel cleanser would do a better job The line also includes a jojoba bead scrub deep cleansing clay mask and AHA lotion with SPF 8 for all skin types If you like basic no frills skin care products this new line from Bath Body Works is worth a look After my disappointment with the Creamy Cleanser I decided I would give the line another chance and try their Foaming Wash 8 for 6 ounces instead Bath Body Works is great about returning anything that doesn t work for your skin so I knew I was covered if it was too drying Well the bad news is I did return it For someone with dry skin cleansers that foam or lather can be too stripping and drying as this one was for me The good news is this is an effective cleanser that works best for normal combination or even oily skin If you haven t visited Bath Body Works lately this new line is simple reasonably priced and worth a look With summer pretty much over many of us are back from vacation the kids are back in school and life starts to get a little more hectic There s nothing I like better after a tough day than a warm bath Add a few scented candles and some soft music and I m in heaven I recently discovered some great aromatherapy products from Bath Body Works for the perfect bathtime experience Much like the Face skin care kit mentioned above the Stress Relief aromatherapy products are available in a fun to try mini kit For 3 50 you get single use sizes of mineral bath salts heavenly bath and shower gel with essential oil beads body lotion also with essential oil beads and massage lotion Not only do the products smell great fresh and light not overly perfumey but they really give relief to sore aching muscles SHOP Get what you

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Basis report by Heather S of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I was pleased to have the chance to review Basis products found at your local drugstore as they just created new packaging for their products and I am sucker for good packaging Basis is manufactured by Beiersdorf Inc makers of my favorite Nivea products and of others popular in both European and North American markets such as Eucerin Atrix and Labello Cleaner Clean Face Wash approx 4 39 for 6 ounces This cleanser is suggested for normal to oily skin I have normal to oily skin and found this cleanser to be pretty drying The soap free cleanser contains various botanicals which are probably responsible for the intense burning sensation in my eyes when some of the cleanser made its way there I think that this cleanser would be more suitable for someone with oilier skin if anyone Face the Day Lotion approx 7 03 for 4 ounces I must say that I was much more impressed with this day lotion It contains SPF 15 very important and is oil free For an oil free moisturizer this one does a great job Most oil free moisturizers I have tried in the past have dried out my skin imagine a moisturizer doing that so you can imagine how I liked the performance of this one I would not recommend using this moisturizer over the above cleanser however since it is not strong enough to counteract the drying effects of the cleanser All Night Face Cream approx 7 03 for 2 ounces I also liked this night cream This would be a great night cream for someone with normal to oily skin it would not be hydrating enough for someone with dry skin The cream contains AHA s and green tea extract but I don t know the percentage of AHA or what exactly green tea extract is supposed to do It does feel great on the skin and works for me Again I would not recommend using this over the Basis cleanser since it is not hydrating enough to counteract the drying effects of the cleanser SHOP Get

of bubbles and I got very little bubbles even though I used half of the bottle in one bath This product does contain sea salt and aloe vera gel so it did make a nice bath treatment but if you are looking for bubbles I could not recommend this product Escentual Body Polish I was very impressed with this product Although it looks a little like baby oatmeal it s fabulous It has a lovely fragrance and although its main exfoliating ingredients are walnut shell powder kelp and magnesium aluminum silicate it is very gentle I used it every day twice a day for a week and did not find it at all irritating or drying It exfoliates like a dream Best of all it foams like a cleanser This makes rinsing the exfoliating grains away very easy There is no sand in the bikini feeling afterwards Escentual Shampoo for the Body I wondered why I would need another body shampoo after using the Escentual body polish however I used this product and really liked it too It contains soothing essential oils like chamomile elder flower and rosemary and smells wonderful Most products like this dry my skin out however I found after using this product my skin was very soft and smooth I did not feel dry at all Escentual Conditioner for the Body This honey beige colored lotion is the final step in the Discovery Kit I absolutely loved it It too contains essential oils like chamomile calendula and comfrey as well as aloe vera gel jojoba oil borage oil coconut oil macadamia nut oil Vitamin E in several forms Vitamin B5 Vitamin A and Vitamin D3 It has a very rich consistency smells great and works well without feeling greasy I loved this product Hand Model Cream This cream has the consistency of room temperature cream cheese It is very rich and emollient without feeling at all greasy With a new baby I wash my hands a lot and I found that this product kept my hands very soft It is fragrance free and contains Vitamins E B and D It also contains glycolic acid and fruit acids lemons orange blueberry and sugar and a full spectrum UV sunscreen SPF 15 I loved this product and even took to putting it on my feet where it felt great and softened my skin I caught my husband using it more than once I would highly recommend this product to anyone who washes their hands frequently or just wants really nice hand cream Although I was a little disappointed with the bare Minerals cosmetic line I was very happy with the Bare Escentuals Skin Care line You can read more about these products at www bareescentuals com or purchase them at www qvc com QVC also offers 13oz versions of the Body Polish Body Shampoo and Body Conditioner for 39 75 I ve just bought my third set because everyone keeps using my Bare Escentuals I guess I ll just have to sign up for auto delivery I can t imagine starting

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Bare Escentuals report by Deanna of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I like lighter formulations of foundation during the summer due to the Maryland humidity and my normal to oily skin type Every year I try a new product in search of the perfect match to my skin tone This year I tried Bare Escentuals Bare Escentuals is a cosmetics company created in 1976 and based in San Francisco CA It produces for the most part skin care products but also carries a line of mineral based makeup known as i d bareMinerals Unlike other cosmetic lines these cosmetics contain no fragrance oils or preservatives I d bareMinerals is designed to work with any skin type because they are lightweight and natural The powders can be mixed with moisturizers or other skin care products for heavier coverage or brushed on for a more lightweight coverage A little definitely goes a long way I found these products to be an excellent value for the money The company distributes their products through various boutiques mostly on the West Coast and through QVC the large shop at home distributor I purchased my products through QVC so there may be some price or packaging differences BareMinerals Foundation in Dark QVC Price 36 00 shipping and handling The dark color range is not dark at all and would compliment most tan olive toned skin In the QVC packaging there are two loose powders used for blending into a shade suitable for you In the dark packaging there is 5 and 8 These loose powders are designed to be foundation concealer and powder all in one For my skin tone I found the 5 the lighter of the two shades was almost a perfect match however when used as a dry powder it did tend to give my skin that whitish cast normally associated with products containing titanium dioxide Also I have to admit even though I followed the instructions included in the package this was not an easy product to apply It took me about five attempts to get a finished result that I liked I found that the best combination for me was to mix the powder with a little moisturizer and apply it with a sponge then use the product dry as a finishing powder This way I was better able to achieve the coverage I like and it even concealed the few small blemishes I had on my chin BareMinerals Warmth Color QVC Price 18 00 shipping and handling This product is essentially a light bronzer designed to give a touch of color to the skin in areas where the sun would normally touch the face It had a nice texture and actually did brighten my face and give it a healthier glow I found that applying it over the brow bone and lids with a little eye cream made it a perfect eye contour and or shadow Of all the bareMinerals products this one was my favorite BareMinerals Eyeshadow QVC Price 11 00 shipping and handling Because I like muted colors for daytime wear I chose the bareMinerals eyeshadow colors of bisque an ivory pink java a warm brown and pussy cat a darker blackish brown The texture of these eyeshadows was excellent and they blended very well Again application of these products wasn t easy and unfortunately these shadows contain quite a bit of mica and gave my thirty something eyelids a very wrinkly appearance Not what I d want in an eyeshadow at all Bare Escentuals Social Security Lipstick QVC Price 14 00 shipping and handling Bare Escentuals Social Security lipstick comes in five shades with names like Hubba Hubba a burgundy red Knockout a warm brownish red Truffle a cooler brownish red Pecan a peach red and Hello a true bluish red These lipsticks contain shea butter and rose geranium essential oil I tried the Hello shade It felt really nice during application and was fairly moisturizing without giving my lips that greasy just ate fried chicken look By changing application styles it was possible to change the appearance of the lipstick For instance applied with a lip brush gives a nice sheer glossy look while applied straight out of the tube over lip pencil gives a nice matte professional look However the lipstick didn t seem to have much staying power and required frequent re application to keep the color on my lips Bare Escentuals Signature Lip Pencil QVC Price 10 00 shipping and handling The Signature lip pencils come in three colors True a true warm red Henna a cool brownish red and Cocoa a warmer brownish red The nicest thing about this lip pencil is the built in sharpener at the bottom of the pencil The color I chose was True which went well with the Hello lipstick However beyond the packaging there is nothing really special about these lip pencils All in all I d have to say that these products don t really differ much from other mineral based cosmetic lines However a little does go a long way and once you get the application techniques down they are a good value for the price SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER JUNE 99 BABY CARE PRODUCTS Whether you ve got a little one at home or you just love to baby yourself these baby skin care products are just the thing to pamper delicate skin Mustela I first heard about these products when I was pregnant and they sounded appealing Most of the Moms I know who use Mustela have babies who like to eat everything or at least put everything in their mouths Now that my Hannah is 6 months old she is putting just about everything into her mouth too My only gripe with Mustela is that the products really aren t as all natural as they claim they have some chemical ingredients just like most other brands 2 in 1 Hair and Body Shampoo I bought this cleanser for our recent trip to the East Coast comes in an easily portable tube but it smells so nice I ve been using it ever since It does a great job on both body and hair without the slightest bit of irritation or drying at least not for us The fliptop cap on the tube I bought is a pain to open if you are trying to hold the baby with one hand and wash her with the other unless you have someone to help so I d buy a pump version next time Cleansing Lotion This lotion is a lightweight cleanser made from peanut and sweet almond oils that can be used without water At first I couldn t imagine washing my baby anywhere but the bathtub until I realized I can use this lotion with a washcloth to clean her face after eating she loves getting pureed peas all over her face or as the cleansing base for the homemade diaper wipes I use small washcloths water and baby oil or cleanser It s actually really handy and a well used product in my collection Sunblock Stick Any diaper bag toting Mom knows you have to carry everything you could possibly need for your baby on your back everything has to somehow fit in this one little bag and you never have room for anything extra Thank goodness for this tiny little sunblock stick I now know I always have sun protection for Hannah when we are out but I don t have to lug some big bottle of sunscreen around this stick is only a bit larger than a lipstick Hydra Stick Like the Sunblock Stick this one is tiny portable and easy to use wherever you or your baby needs a little moisture It s perfect for lips cheeks hands elbows wherever Gymboree CradleGym Baby Care System I love shopping at Gymboree for Hannah she looks so cute in their hats so when I spotted these new baby care products I couldn t resist I bought the travel pack of small sizes to see what I thought before splurging for full sizes Gentle Soap Being the cosmetic snob that I am when I think soap I immediately think it must be bad This one is actually really gentle made of palm coconut and olive oils lavender essential oil and aloe vera It has low lather and it leaves baby s skin clean soft and sweet I m thinking this would be nice for Moms and Dads too Baby Shampoo My Hannah s scalp was sensitive from the beginning so I needed to be careful about what I used on her hair If a soap or shampoo was too strong her scalp would get red and flaky This shampoo is one of the few that does a nice job without being too drying It does have some standard cleansing agents in it but they are buffered in a base of evening primrose oil aloe and chamomile Diaper Rash Cream You know you are a Mom when you start getting excited about diaper rash cream When my little one first developed some redness on her tushy I raced to my local Target and scoured the baby aisle for something appropriate for an angel such as mine Most are thick and greasy and in my experience don t really work but this one from Gymboree does the job It s creamy and light but still great at protecting her skin It s definitely my favorite Moisturizing Lotion For any dry areas on baby s skin this is a nice medium weight lotion that works well and absorbs quickly It has safflower avocado sweet almond and evening primrose oil as well as chamomile and aloe Sweet Angel from Anna Carera Cosmetics This line was created by a Mom in Italy who just wasn t satisfied with the choices available for her son She wanted natural plant based products that would work for a baby s sensitive skin and here they are Baby eau de toilette Although I like the rose smell of this eau de toilette I m not into putting perfume on my baby I ve seen a few European lines with baby perfume Mustela has one as does the perfume line Bulgari so maybe they do things differently than we do here in the US Calendula Shampoo I also like the smell of this shampoo fresh and fruity but the product itself was a little drying for Hannah leaving her scalp a little dry and flaky If it had more plant oils in it I think I d like it better Rosemary Refreshing Cream This is not a petroleum based barrier cream like the ones most Moms think of but more of a daily use preventative cream that softens and gently protects the skin from excess moisture This is my favorite product of the Sweet Angel line For more information on the Sweet Angel collection visit the website at http www theitalianboutique com baby html Aromababies When your little one is fussy these aromatherapy products from Aroma Vera are designed to calm and soothe with fragrant herbs and extracts Lullaby Bath Milk Bathtime doesn t always have to mean getting squeaky clean This non foaming milk is designed for a fussy baby who is calmed by taking a bath A blend of very gentle cleansers jojoba oil oatmeal chamomile and orange flower oil is a perfect addition to a soothing bathtime ritual Happy Tummy Rub For babies with colic or related symptoms like gas this lightweight lotion is helpful when combined with gentle massage on the baby s abdomen The fragrant blend of chamomile and marjoram plus the massage can help relieve your baby s discomfort I used this almost every day on Hannah for her first three months Lullably Rub After a soothing bath with the Lullaby Milk follow up with this chamomile and neroli lotion to help your little one get to sleep more easily This lotion is similiar to the Happy Tummy Rub but is designed to be used all over Diaper Care Cream This is not a thick barrier cream like most diaper rash creams but rather a light lotion with grape seed oil oat flour jojoba oil shea butter and tea tree oil that keeps that diaper area soft and lightly protects against excess moisture The container is also really clever it has a pushtop with an opening in the middle so when you press anywhere on the top the lotion dispenses out of the hole Diaper Care Powder Since I usually use lotions on my baby I rarely use powder the combination would make her rather pasty As powders go this is a nice one made of cornstarch chamomile and rosewood With disposable diapers as absorbant as they are these days I just haven t seen the need for powder I got my Aromababies products from Bliss Spa and you can too by calling 1 888 243 8825 Johnson Johnson Head To Toe All Over Baby Wash Before my baby was born I bought a bottle of this all in one wash on the recommendation of some friends with really sensitive skin who use it on their own faces As mass market baby products go I like this the best It has a nice subtle fragrance and does a great job on baby s skin without drying Baby Lotion with Aloe Vera Vitamin E This was the first lotion I bought also before Hannah was born and I have ended up using it mostly on my own hands It has that great Johnson s baby smell which I like but found too overpowering to actually put on my baby The lotion itself is okay nothing too special and definitely not for

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Awake report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel While in NYC last April 1998 I was determined to at least see the much talked about Japanese skin care and makeup line Awake Located in Henri Bendel s department store on 5th Avenue and West 56th Street in Manhattan Awake skin care and makeup contain botanical ingredients anti oxidants and specially treated pigments that help prevent irritation to the skin When a very friendly salesperson invited me to a free consultation and makeup application how could I refuse My face was first cleansed and conditioned with Awake s Lotion Refresher an alcohol free botanical toner designed for all skin types It was cool and refreshing leaving my skin feeling soft and supple Next Awake s signature product and the most expensive item in the line at 60 Nano Essence oil free gel moisturizer was applied all over my face as a moisturizer and base for my makeup Nano Essence contains a cucumber derived ingredient called SOD super oxide dismutase that is supposed to be the most effective anti oxidant and free radical scavenger you can get I couldn t tell if it was working how can you really but the lightweight gel felt incredibly refreshing while still giving my normal to dry skin the moisture it needed I liked it especially compared to the heavy creams and lotions I normally use so I might consider spending the 60 for it The final skin care step was a thin layer of Hydro Plus Eye gel around each eye The gel contains liquid crystals vitamin E ginseng and horsetail extracts to help reduce puffiness and keep the eye area moisturized Again the gel was nice and light and very refreshing My makeup application included a base of Bisque oil free foundation and Bisque cream concealer topped with a light dusting of Ivory loose powder Although the oil free foundation is considered full coverage I found you can adjust the coverage to suit your needs and it still looks fresh and natural not heavy or masky This mid morning application lasted all day and looked fresh into the night through dinner and the theater without caking streaking or changing color For color the artist used Peach Ivory and African Violet eye shadows both gorgeous Raisin blush a fantastic light pink plum shade and Pine lipliner neutral brown pink with Gypsy Rose lipgloss on my lips All the color cosmetics are soft and wearable shades that would look great on anyone As far as skin care treatments Awake has two masks Sebum Clear Mask 40 for 2 1 ounce tube and Smooth Clear Mask 40 for 2 8 ounce tube Both are peel off and designed to deep clean your pores and leave your skin looking fresh and smooth My results were unfortunately mixed I first tried Smooth Clear for all skin types and was pleased with how smooth my skin looked This mask is a bit thicker than most peel offs I ve tried so it seemed to pull more dirt and gunk out of my skin I d give Smooth Clear 4 out of 5 stars at 40 it s too expensive to be perfect Sebum Clear was another story I knew it was designed for more oily blemish prone skin like the T zone but I never expected the mask to be like rubber cement Unless you have very tough skin I can t stress enough how uncomfortable this mask is to remove I must have peeled and pulled for 5 minutes trying to get it all off and by the time I did my face was as red as a tomato If I lived in New York City and could return this mask to the Awake counter I would It gets my lowest 0 out of 5 stars If you find yourself in New York City I would highly recommend a visit to the Awake counter at Bendel s You can find Awake products online at eve com and beautyjungle com SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Avon report by Melinda of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I was slightly disappointed with Avon s Anew All In One Intensive Complex although I generally have had good experiences with Avon Basically All In One Intensive is a combined sunscreen moisturiser AHA product which you can apply under your makeup It has SPF 15 the minimum sun protection dermatologists recommend antioxidants and a moisture retention compound not to mention the now almost standard skincare ingredient alpha hydroxy acids in a double dose to help speed up skin cell renewal Unfortunately I tended to experience the foul rolley polley syndrome with this product bits of my sunscreen kept rubbing off when I tried to apply my foundation on top of it Not exactly the effect I was aiming for Perhaps I wasn t waiting long enough between putting this product on and applying my foundation or maybe I was applying too much but I could never really get Avon Anew Intensive Complex to work satisfactorily So poor marks to Avon for creating a skin cream that is a poor makeup base I am giving an A to Avon for the packaging however The classy blue glass pot with silver and gold lid has a more luxurious feel to it than the plastic packaging Avon has used in the past Still as we all know packaging does not a great product make I would advise not buying this product although if you feel adventurous and want to try it for yourself there s a sale on the Anew range at their web site as of 25th February 1998 Please note This product is not for those with sensitive skin Avon does warn in the catalogue that this product contains a double dose of AHAs and for those who even think they might have sensitive Avon recommends Anew All in One Perfecting Complex SPF 15 or Anew All in One Perfecting Lotion SPF 8 instead I waited thirty minutes between applying Anew All In One Intensive Complex and my foundation SHOP Get what you need plus save time and

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Avon report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel One of my first and fondest memories of cosmetics is of those little sample size Avon lipsticks My grandmother would always get a few in her order of Skin So Soft bath oil and Silicone Glove hand cream Every time I visited she would show me her new colors and let me try them all on I couldn t have been more than 5 years old Twenty years later my grandmother still sends me Silicone Glove hand cream in the mail I ve always know Avon for bath products and lipstick so when I recently got the opportunity to try some Avon skin care I jumped Avon has come out with quite an array of alpha hydroxy products over the last few years called Anew that had really sparked my interest All of the products I tried are under US 20 and I think they are just as good if not better in some cases than many drug and department store products Anew Perfect Cleanser 10 50 After using milky cleansers since fall I was concerned that this foaming cleanser would dry my face It actually worked great and left my face feeling comfortable It has a very slight fragrance a light foaming action and it rinses away quickly with just a few splashes For normal combination or slightly oily skin this cleanser does the trick Anew All In One Perfecting Lotion SPF 8 15 50 I have tried several AHA lotions and gels over the last few years all of varying textures and concentrations My all time favorite is still Alpha Hydrox drugstore brand in the red box but this one from Avon is a close second It has a lightweight texture absorbs quickly and works well under makeup I was really surprised to find that the main exfoliating ingredient is salicylic acid not lactic or glycolic acid This Lotion version is oil free and considered more for sensitive skin because of the low levels of AHAs and fruit acids the alternative for normal skin is their All In One Perfecting Complex with 4 AHAs and SPF 15 Anew Perfect Eye Care Cream SPF 15 12 50 I ve tried quite a few eye creams lately and none of them made me believe I couldn t live without them I just might change my mind with this one from Avon Not only does it have great sun protection helps prevent wrinkles from sun damage but the lightweight feel and easy absorption makes it great under makeup without being too heavy or greasy so your eye makeup can stay put better While this eye cream does have AHAs the levels are so low around 2 that they just act as moisturizers and not exfoliators Hydrofirming Cream Night Treatment 10 50 If my skin was still dry and winter worn I think this night cream would have worked better for me Instead it was a bit too emollient and oily If you have dry skin this cream is a great choice It has anti oxidant vitamins A C and E and a whole slew of plant oils like jojoba sunflower seed grape and evening primrose Anew Retinol Recovery Complex 17 50 For an exfoliating and wrinkle reducing treatment that really does work Avon s new Retinol Recovery Complex is definitely worth trying especially if you have sun damaged skin lots of fine lines or even deep wrinkles Retinol a vitamin A derivative works to gently exfoliate dead and damaged skin cells replacing them with fresh new cells This sloughing action can make wrinkles less severe and reduce splotchiness age spots and sun damage My main objective in using the Retinol Recovery Complex was to reduce some of the redness I ve had in my cheeks from living under the Florida sun for four years After using it every night for just over 2 months my skin felt smooth and actually looked less ruddy This lightweight cream penetrates very quickly and is light enough that you can use your regular moisturizer over it if necessary While the major benefits are definitely more long term if you have sun damage or noticeable wrinkles that bother you this cream might just give you the results you are looking for Age Block Daytime Defense Cream SPF15 12 50 Age Block is one of the first sunscreens with avobenzone also called Parsol 1789 the only sunscreen ingredient that effectively protects your skin from both UVA and UVB sun rays UVA rays actually penetrate deeper into your skin than UVB rays creating skin damage like sun induced wrinkles brown spots sagging and uneven skin tone Age Block is a lightweight cream that absorbs quickly and leaves your skin lightly moisturized making it great for most skin types super oily skin may like a gel sunscreen better If you are considering trying Avon or just want a new way to shop for your favorite

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Aveda Skin Care and Color Cosmetics report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Aveda Since the first time I tried my roommate s Rosemary Mint hair conditioner back in 1991 I have been hooked on Aveda It wasn t until I started frequenting an Aveda salon to get my hair done that I finally bought some of the hair products Now that my husband is hooked too we are an Aveda exclusive household Recently on my quest for a new fall winter skin care routine I decided to give the Aveda skin care line a try A new Aveda Lifestyle Store and Spa just opened here in downtown Portland so I visited to check the place out and see about some samples Even though they had no proper containers in the store for samples the woman who was helping me wanted to make sure I could try the products She actually poured the samples into little paper drinking cups for me so I could take them home Is that service or what So what did I think of the products Here s a list of the samples I got plus how I feel about them Purifying Cream Cleanser 18 for 5 5 ounces Even though it was a little heavy for my normal to dry rather than just dry skin this cleanser took off all my makeup even mascara and rinsed off relatively easily with just water If your skin is more all over dry this cleanser may be a good choice but see if you can try before you buy Hydrating Lotion 24 for 5 5 ounces As face lotions go this one was really nice not too heavy and has that great Aveda scent If your skin is normal to dry or dry this would be a good choice All Sensitive Cleanser 19 for 5 5 ounces All Sensitive is a new line from Aveda designed for people with sensitive skin Since mine does tend to be sensitive I thought I d give it a try I was surprised that I liked this cleanser better than than the Purifying Cream Cleanser I thought it would be heavier and less rinseable but it was actually very effective It is very creamy though so if you are used to something that foams this may take some getting used to All in all a very nice product that worked well on my sensitive skin All Sensitive Lotion 28 for 5 5 ounces I think product is designed more for a truly dry skin type that is also sensitive In warmer weather I found it too be a bit too heavy and emollient for my skin but in the cold winter wind this lotion is a welcome comforter A little goes a long way with this product so the bottle should last a long time Skin Firming Toning Agent 5 5 ounces I didn t notice any visible firming with this spray on toner but it is very refreshing thankfully without alcohol or witch hazel and nicely moisturizing In the winter I actually prefer this spray toner over a wipe away version because it is much more soothing This Firming Toning Agent is basically rosewater so if you like a simple toner and you re an Aveda fan this one is a good choice All Sensitive Toner 18 for 5 5 ounces This toner is similar to the Skin Firming Toning Agent except that is has a much lighter fragrance This is a very light toner that would be good if you like an added layer of moisture on your face before you apply your moisturizer Intensive Hydrating Masque 30 for 5 5 ounces If your skin is feeling the effects of the cold outside and the heat inside this mask is worth a try Andrea at my local Aveda Spa sent me home yet again with my sample in a paper dixie cup This mask is a clear gel that you can either apply in a thick layer leave on for 5 10 minutes and rinse off or you can apply a thin layer and just let it completely soak in My ultimate test was trying it after a night of waiting outside for over an hour to see Star Wars at my local movie theater My skin was so dehydrated from the cold that after about 5 minutes of letting the mask soak in there was really nothing left to wipe away Thankfully it left my skin feeling softer and more comfortable Color Cosmetics Dual Performance Creme Powder foundation 22 00 plus 12 00 for the optional refillable silver compact After using MAC Studio Fix for years it was a leap of faith for me to try another line s powder based foundation I was very pleasantly surprised with the incredibly smooth texture and softness of this one from Aveda I also found a terrific color for my skin Cream that was a much better match Too many foundations these days are either too pink or too yellow for my skin If you have normal slightly oily slightly dry or combination skin this creme powder from Aveda is a great quick and easy foundation choice SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty

Shampure shampoo approx 9 for 8 45 ounces I had been looking for a long time for a good everyday shampoo that would leave my hair clean soft and manageable Shampure lives up to my expectations and it smells great Unless you have very oily or very dry hair this is a great shampoo for just about everybody Elixir Daily Leave on Hair Conditioner approx 9 for 8 45 ounces As many of you have read I have fine hair that is also a bit on the dry side in the winter I usually stay away from leave in conditioners because they either don t condition enough or they weigh the hair down so it s looks greasy Naturally when I tried the Elixir and really liked it I was surprised Elixir has a light consistency almost like a styling gel so it doesn t weigh the hair down It left my hair very soft and manageable without looking stiff or sticky If you have short to medium length hair that is fine and a bit on the dry side this conditioner is definitely worth trying Self Control Hair Styling Stick 15 50 Don t let the deodorant stick packaging scare you this product is really for your hair I was very skeptical at first until I tried it Self Control is a sort of gel and anti frizz product all rolled into one You can either run your hands along the surface of the stick and apply or apply the product directly to the areas where you need smoothness control or lift You only need a little to get great hold that lasts all day Witch Hazel Medium Hold Hairspray approx 9 for 8 45 ounces I have actually used this product numerous times before ever getting my own bottle because my stylist uses it every time I get my hair cut This time I actually got to experiment with it at home This spray has a distinctive scent from the witch hazel that makes it less flowery or sweet than most other hair sprays The hold is good for a simple hair style if you need something really industrial strength this may not be the best choice I like it because it holds well without being sticky or stiff All Sensitive Shampoo 10 for 5 7 ounces If you have a tight sensitive scalp that gets itchy and easily irritated this shampoo is a welcome change that will really make it feel better My husband has suffered from a sensitive scalp for years but this shampoo really made a difference All Sensitive Conditioner 12 for 5 7 ounces This light moisturizing conditioner is for all hair types It leaves the hair soft and manageable as well as conditioning and soothing the scalp All Sensitive Styling Gel 8 for 5 7 ounces Most hair gels can be irritating to someone with a sensitive scalp since the alcohol can be very drying This gel contains no alcohol and has a nice slip to it so it makes the hair very manageable without being stiff or sticky Purescriptions Volumizing Finisher spray Like most hair thickening sprays this one is just like hairspray It does make your hair look and feel thicker but it also feels a bit stiff with little movement or swing Unless you have a short style that needs lift longer hair styles will look weighed down and stiff with this spray Phomollient styling foam 12 50 Aveda s new Phomollient is so hot the Aveda stores and salons can t keep it on the shelves Phomollient is really great for any kind of hair straight curly frizzy flat whatever For naturally curly wavy or frizzy hair Phomollient gives soft control and definition without stickiness If you like to wear your hair straight Phomollient works to smooth and condition the hair to control frizz without stiffness If you want soft moveable hair that holds the style you want look for Phomollient at your favorite

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Aubrey Organics report by Laura of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Hi everyone It s that weird time of the year when my skin is going through its shifting phase Summer s gone but winter s not here yet so my skin isn t quite sure what to do I usually have fairly normal skin but right now it s acting dry so I decided to go to a natural store and pick up some items to tide me over until my skin adjusts to the seasonal change I was cruising down the skin care aisle picking up some stuff just to look at and realised that since au naturel was in the prices were up Luckily I saw Aubrey Organics which I d used before with good results and the prices were reasonable I asked the person helping me if she knew anything about Aubrey Organics and she did The founder s name is Aubrey Hampton who has been making cosmetics for over thirty years He searches all over the world for his herbs then locally manufactures in small batches made only with fresh ingredients so fresh he never warehouses finished product I was impressed by this and ended up buying the following items Sea Buckthorn Rejuvenating Serum with Ester C 15 75 Sea Buckthorn oil has the most effective antioxidant properties of vitamins E and A combined with palmitoleic acid found in the skin s sebum and Ester C a topical form of vitamin C that is easily absorbed by the skin The Rejuvinating Serum is based in hydrating jojoba oil which combined with vitamins E A and C helps to attract and retain moisture This serum felt oh so nice on the skin and has already wiped out local dryness problem patches I ve been having near my upper lip and cheeks Sea Buckthorn Silky Smooth Moisturizer with Ester C 16 25 Since I tend to dislike moisturizers that are too heavy this was a good choice for me It was light enough to use in conjunction with the serum you can use the serum under this which I like because I always use a serum after cleansing and toning It also felt soothing to my irritated skin Here are the ingredients organic aloe vera lavender water Canadian Willow herb extract Ester C Sea Buckthorn oil vitamins E and F evening primrose oil blue chamomile oil citrus seed extract with vitamins A C and E all in a fatty acid cream base All in all this moisturizer helped in combatting the overall dryness of my skin Sea Buckthorn Moisturizing Masque with Ester C 8 25 I don t know about you but I love moisturizing masques When I think of a moisturizing masque it is very creamy or gel like and contains no grittiness This masque was no exception Naturally I bought it to my surprise it contained very finely ground almonds walnuts and oatmeal This is unusual these ingredients are often found in exfoliants since they provide the coarseness required to scrape dead skin cells free of the skin s surface but to find them in a hydrating masque is a first for me Perhaps fine grinding releases latent oils within these gritty components making the masque even more creamy and soothing Besides the nuts masque and moisturizer contents were the same though the masque contains aloe vera fillet which may refer to some processing distinction Whatever the differences this masque left my skin feeling not only smooth and silky but super clean as well One more thing I almost forgot to mention is the fact that all three products I purchased had those great vitamins ostensibly to fight free radicals I would recommend any of these products for dry and or normal skin Bye for now SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER MAY 99 MAKEUP BRUSH REVIEW report by Brita of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Everyone s heard at one time or another that it s cheaper to buy make up brushes at an artist supply store But have you ever tried it It s instant overload rack after rack of brushes of every discernible shape and size You see a nice shaped sable brush and pick it up Aside from the handle being 18 inches long the price is enough to cause cardiac arrest 60 for something that might run half that at the local MAC counter So where s the bargain It s there all right if you know what to look for Here are some general tips to help you find the best deals Synthetic brushes are always cheaper by as much as 90 percent at the artist supply store These are the brushes you can use to apply concealer lipstick and eyeliner Want something that duplicates the Bobbi Brown eyeliner and lip brushes Look for a brush with an oval shape If the bristles are too long you can trim them with a manicure scissors Want to knock off that Trish McEvoy No 11 eyeliner brush Find something straight across with a narrow row of bristles Expect to pay no more than 3 for any of these Slanted or angle brushes are always cheaper by at least 50 percent or more These are the brushes you ll use for defining the eye crease and applying powdered eyeliner and brow make up The fabled MAC No 22 goes for something like 24 In an art supply store you should be able to find one in the same red sable or kolinsky for about 10 If you favor sable lip brushes both straight across and shaped you re likely to find them for no more than 8 Ditto for eyeliner brushes Not quite as cheap but still reasonable are straight across or wash brushes in camel sable and pony that you can use for blending Another bargain is the white goathair brushes with bamboo handles from the orient A great boudoir powder brush for under 10 What s not on this list Blush brushes and chiseled sable eyeshadow brushes For some reason you fare better purchasing these at the make up counter But what if the aesthetics of these brushes don t grab you Say you re a neat freak and you like all of your brushes to match Well there are things you can do to make your motley assortment of brushes more appealing Handles that are too long can be broken or sawed down to size After you re done smooth the bottom with sandpaper and cover the exposed wood with black permanent marker to match the rest of the handle If you don t like the color of the brush handle you can remove the color with make up remover for a natural wood look or cover the entire thing black with permanent marker Why go to all this trouble Because it s great to have spares of lip and concealer brushes or duplicates for your purse And with the money you save you can buy more make up SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT This week s

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Anna Sui Cosmetics report by Adrienne of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel I did a little Internet research on Anna Sui before I headed to Nordstrom s to try out this new line Check out http www blackwhite freeserve co uk Cosmetics annasui I had a very helpful salesperson who knew the line well so I plopped myself down and asked if she could give me a makeover This line is packaged beautifully in floral boxes and the products are all contained in what looks like a combination of Art Deco Oriental black lacquer design They are nice to look at but a bit bulky This line is not for the faint of heart when it comes to color with strong pigments in blushes lipsticks and eye color Fun glittery nail polishes too One word of caution This is not a cheap line I decided to try the following products Powdery Foundation 25 in color 05 I loved the fact that I could just buy the refill piece that contained the product The compact can be purchased separately but it was very ornate and cumbersome and wouldn t fit in my bag I applied it with a flat round cosmetic sponge The color matches beautifully and has a soft texture and medium coverage Staying power None I had to do three touch ups within one working day I have happily been using Clinique Double Face Powder which has better coverage lasts all day and is less expensive I think I am returning this one Face Color blush 22 in color 400 a deep rose Comes in a round container with screw off top and a small purple powder puff to apply color A little goes a long way Nice color for us Mediterranean types I tried applying it with the puff and with two different blush brushes and no matter what I did it went on unevenly When I finally did get it applied evenly the color faded before noon and I had to work hard all over again to touch it up I think I m returning it and going back to my Bobbi Brown Soft Pink Blush Too bad I was looking forward to more ooomph in my make up bag Lipstick 19 in color 402 Color looks reddish brown in the tube but goes on brighter than expected I don t like brown lipstick on me makes me look tired A very pretty gold lip gloss was applied over and it looked great The color is rich and stays on They had a nice selection of lip glosses in tubes to try Eyeshadow 17 in color 502 This is a rich shiny brown with burgundy undertones I used this in the crease and also as a liner Use this with a good brush or you will have lots of color all over This type and color of shadow is not hard to find in less expensive lines but it is an especially nice color for brown eyes Loose Powder 33 This powder has a beautiful sheen not a harsh shine and really is a nice way to finish your face but what a mess to apply Again a big ornate container that is awkward to use Comes with a large purple puff to apply but it got all over me Then I tried a brush for more control and had better luck Caution this container rests on four feet and has a lift off top which comes off unexpectedly in your hand Huge waste of powder I am going to transfer this powder to a better container I liked the loose powder and the lipstick but I am returning the other products I tried When I know that I won t use a product again and I have paid a bit too much I usually opt for returning it rather than letting it gather dust in my cosmetic graveyard Editor s Note You can

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Alterna report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Like any good makeup junkie I am always searching for products that are different useful or just plain cool I recently discovered a line of hair care that truly has a unique niche hemp seed oil No it s not what you re thinking Alterna salon hair care with hemp seed oil is completely drug free and contains only the oil from the plant seed which has fatty acids that are excellent at conditioning and preventing moisture loss Sounds good to me Have a look at a few of the products I tried Hemp Seed Shampoo 12 75 for 10 1 ounces First of all I have to comment on the shapes of the packaging of these products very retro looking long neck bottles in reds yellows and greens You ll be thinking lava lamps and bell bottoms in no time This is a great all purpose everyday shampoo for any type of hair The hemp seed oil does lightly moisturize but I also like to use the daily conditioner mentioned below for the best results Weekly Clarifying Shampoo 12 75 for 10 1 ounces Although this shampoo does contain an extra cleansing ingredient and does not contain any hemp seed oil I can t say it works wonders in the build up removal department For someone with slightly oily hair it could be a nice choice as a daily shampoo If you are looking for more effective deep cleaning try Origins No Deposit or ABBA Molasses Purifier instead Hemp Seed Restorative Conditioner 14 75 for 10 1 ounces I liked this conditioner very much especially together with the hemp seed oil shampoo It smooths and softens the hair without a heavy build up The bottle is pretty cool too Volumizing Spray Leave in Conditioner 11 75 for 8 5 ounces If you have fine hair prefer a spray conditioner or just need a little extra moisture this multi purpose product is a great cross between treatment and styling aid For fine hair spray it directly on the roots then comb it through for the best results One little note the very long necked bottle takes a little getting used to can be tricky to hold onto while spraying Styling Nutritive Creme Gel 10 75 for 5 1 ounces For quick and easy styling this product is great if you like light control A quarter sized dab worked through the hair is just right for lightweight control and smoothing You can use it on every type of hair wet or dry curly or straight long or short Hemp Seed Shine Texturizing Catalyst 10 75 for 3 4 ounces Of all the Alterna products this is my favorite Use a dime size amount for short medium hair or about a quarter size for longer hair for amazing shine and manageability I like to use it on my damp hair just before blowdrying it smooths my frizz prone ends adds shine and gives just the right amount of light natural control without being sticky crunchy or oily like some gels or mousses Alterna won t eliminate bad hair days or give you the movie star style you ve always dreamed of but it is a fun and effective line of products that are nicely moisturizing I give them two thumbs up For more information about Alterna visit their website at http www 4alterna com or check a salon near you SHOP Get what you need

be an especially rough time for skin and hair This ultra hot summer will be in full swing for at least another month so I thought I d offer a few reviews on products I ve found to be most helpful in combatting the season s less desirable side effects For Hair A love of swimming and sunshine has done great things for my muscle tone buy my hair is a different story All the chlorine and UV exposure results in dry dull and brittle hair I ve been coloring my hair for years and I dread what these elements do to my auburn tresses This summer while browsing through the local Beauty Warehouse I discovered the Alterna line of hair products This line is comprised of shampoos conditioners and styling products which use the concept of Enzymetherapy Hemp oil is used in the formulation of these products because of its rich fatty acids proteins vitamins and assorted enzymes which help the hair absorb all these goodies Knowing how great hemp oil is for the skin The Body Shop carries a great hemp oil line of skin products I just love I thought I would give Alterna s line a try I purchased 2 shampoos and 2 conditioners Hemp seed Shine shampoo and conditioner and Hemp seed Hydrating shampoo and conditioner for dry damaged hair I couldn t believe the change in my hair after just a week of using these products I wash my hair every day so I like to rotate the shampoos and conditioners I use I started with the hydrating shampoo and conditioner which after just one use calmed and softened my frazzled mane While a bad scent can ultimately make me reject a great product the smell of this shampoo and conditioner is quite nice a green apple scent which is fresh and crisp without being cloying The next day I decided to try the Shine shampoo and conditioner which promised to bring extraordinary lustre back to my dull hair Again Alterna kept their promise I did notice a marked increase in the surface texture and reflective quality of my hair The Shine shampo and conditoner both have a delicious tart orange scent which I liked even more than the apple scent of the Hydrating line I decided that these shampoos and conditoners are smack daddy as my friend Kella says and have become my new favs with my much beloved Aveda products moving to second place I was a Shampure user for years I use the Hydrating line for when my hair seems especially dry and the Shine line when my hair feels fairly soft and more normal All the products have full range UVA UVB protection and come in 16 9 oz bottles While they aren t cheap 18 for the shampoo or conditoner they are concentrated and seem as good a value as most other salon quality products My only complaint albeit a small one is that the beautiful bottles these products come in which are colorful funky and geometric can be a little hard to hold in the shower If you re interested in more information about the restorative qualities of these hemp based wonder products check out their website at www 4alterna com SHOP Get what

OUR FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER JANUARY 99 SKIN CARE FOR OILY SKIN A Look at Personal Picks from our Panelist Alissa Many women like myself have skin which is oily but not teenage oily My adult skin can t handle the harsh ingredients that are in most acne or made for oily skin products So after many many days of dry peeling skin with blemishes at the same time a lovely sight I have found some products that work for me as someone who has adult oily skin Neutrogena Non Drying cleanser 5 5 fl oz 7 99 I really like this cleanser because it thoroughly removes make up without drying out my skin If foaming is something you want in a cleanser this isn t for you However the creamy yet non oily texture is enough to convert those who are used to a foaming cleanser over to a non foaming cleanser Many acne or made for oily skin products burn and sting while washing the skin and cause the skin to look red afterwards Neutrogena Non Drying cleanser really works for adult oily skin gently removing oil and make up without removing the skin Biore cleansing gel non foaming 5 oz 5 99 This cleanser works well if you are washing your face say in the morning It doesn t remove make up really well unless you use two applications Even though Biore cleansing gel contains sorbitol a natural plant extract I still would use a toner to remove the make up left behind I like to use this cleanser in the morning when I need to freshen up my face I also like the clean fragrance and gel consistency Neutrogena Alcohol Free toner 8 oz 7 99 Sometimes I like to use a toner if I feel I need a little extra cleaning or my skin feels oily Neutrogena Alcohol Free toner removes any leftover make up and oil without leaving the skin dry Because this toner is alcohol free my skin never stings or feels raw which happens frequently with toners made for oily acne prone skin This toner is not fragrance free which may bother some but I personally like the very light clean smelling fragrance Another plus to this toner is the soft silky texture of the product Some toners are heavy feeling to the skin and smell like a chemistry lab but Neutrogena s toner is great for oilies like me who like to use toner without ripping their skin apart in the process Prescriptives All You Need Oil Free Action Moisturizer 3 4 oz 50 00 Even though my skin is oily I still like to use a moisturizer to help set my make up Prescriptives All You Need really lives up to its name It hydrates the skin without adding so much moisture that the skin is shiny or greasy Also Prescriptives moisturizer keeps the shine to a minimum during the day and does not interfere with make up as some moisturizers do The price for this may seem a little high but one pump application is All You Need L Oreal Refreshing Eye Make Up Remover 4 oz 6 99 The last thing a woman with oily skin needs is an eye make up remover that is greasy and leaves a residue L Oreal s eye make up remover is non greasy and removes eye make up in one sweep This eye make up remover is extremely gentle and leaves the eye area clean without feeling dried out Lancome Bi Facil Double Action Eye Make Up Remover 4 oz 17 00 This is a nice eye make up remover that does not sting or make you pull or tug at the skin to remove your make up If you wear eye shadow eye liner and mascara all at once Lancome s Bi Facil will remove it all in one application I like the soft satiny texture of the product and the non greasy feel makes it a plus for oily skins SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Alchemy report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Pressed Powder 26 Unlike most pressed powders that come in a mirrored compact this one has a screwtop lid and powder puff housed inside I like the unique design and the powder s not bad either except for the color I got Diffusion seems like the lightest shade but it s too sparkly to use every day The texture is nice and light but I would definitely choose a different color next time Alchemy pressed powder comes in 3 colors diffusion 25 and 33 Eye Shadow 15 The two colors I tried are such different shades it s hard to review this as one product Ginkgo a soft taupe gray is a great all over color that goes on smoothly and lasts all day without creasing or fading I can definitely see wearing this as an everyday shadow Juniper on the other hand is a vibrant magenta that still has a sheer quality to it but it s more of an accent color for light to medium skin tones and a crease shade for darker skin tones If you like color this is a bright one Other colors include Shittake Celery Lavender Iceland Moss and Catnip Sheer Lipstick 16 50 This is a light sheer lipstick that s nice for subtle color that looks like a stain but feels like lipbalm I tried juniper light grape purple henna light red brown and rhubarb light fuschia pink and didn t really have a favorite These are okay but didn t wow me enough to want to wear it every day Refreshing Lip Gloss 15 The packaging of this gloss is practically identical to Bobbi Brown and Revlon Professional small squarish clear tube so you can see the color inside except it has a sponge applicator rather than a brush I actually prefer the sponge because it s easily to apply and doesn t get squashed in the tube like a brush can The color I have heartsense is a very pretty medium fuschia pink but it doesn t quite suit my complexion I have very fair skin with pinkish undertones and some blotchy redness on my cheeks so this shade of pink makes the redness in my skin really stand out Not quite the look I am going for The gloss itself has a fresh minty flavor and feels slightly tingly on the lips Lip Gloss 15 This gloss comes in a little screwtop pot and is shinier and thicker than the Refreshing Gloss It comes in shimmery gold and silver shades that are designed to layer over regular lipstick If you like to mix your own colors or add sparkle to your regular lipstick this might be a fun product For me it s just makeup drawer clutter Medic Blemish Treatment Concealer 15 This lightly medicated concealer is designed to heal blemishes using salicylic acid while it covers I couldn t really say that it had enough medicine it in to do very much but it is a decent concealer that doesn t cake or turn orange when layered over a pimple Medic comes in 4 colors from lightest to darkest 33 38 41 74 For more information on Alchemy or other products sold by Bigelow Chemists call 1 800 793 5433 for a catalog or stop by the

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER PRODUCT REVIEWS Alchemy report by Elaine of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel In my never ending search for a natural looking foundation and the almighty zit zapper I recently spied a relatively new cosmetics line I thought I d share with Cosmetic Connection readers It s called Alchemy and it s made and sold by the people who own Bigelow Chemists the beloved New York City old world pharmacy that carries many of the beauty industry s hard to find items right alongside the Ivory soap and Altoids Alchemy also is sold by many branches of beauty megastore Sephora but not in all locations see list at end of review for more information on availability Written up in Vogue Self magazine s Best of NYC issue French Cosmopolitan and New Woman the stars of the Alchemy line seem to be the bottled oil free foundation and the medicated tinted blemish treatment but that s not to say the color products don t merit a mention The pigments in all Alchemy products are milled to pharmaceutical standards so the color you see is what you get on the skin says French Cosmopolitan I couldn t agree more I stopped by Bigelow to play with the products on a Saturday afternoon and I found myself hanging out for quite a while unharassed by sales associates thank goodness Here are the products I tested out and what I thought about them Oil Free Natural Finish Foundation 30 for 1 fl oz This is a very light textured oil free noncomedogenic foundation that comes in an impressive shade range There seems to be a shade for almost anyone or you could do what I did which is mix shades to get the perfect color I don t usually advocate mixing shades among different brands but I think it s OK if the foundations are made by the same line This foundation contains aloe and vitamin E to soothe skin and keep it from drying out and it also has micronized silicone pigments which reflect light and give the face a luminous dewy not shiny look The foundation is fairly sheer but it can be layered for more coverage when and where you need it I found it wore well for an entire day of mostly outdoor shopping on a wintry afternoon To try on different shades I used Alchemy s Eyebright makeup remover 15 and found it gave a clean sweep without being oily or irritating my eyes Medic Blemish Treatment Concealer 15 for 50 oz I like a tinted blemish treatment either for weekends when I m not wearing a full face of makeup or for those times when you have to sleep in the same area as other people but can t bear to bare it all think crashing in your friend s college dorm room teenagers having a slumber party and well more adult situations Alchemy s Medic does a great job of covering up boo boos for just such times using a blend of herbal extracts to treat the blemish while simultaneously concealing it What kind of herbal extracts Well for starters there s chamomile echinacea lemon tea tree oil aloe vera and vitamin E Medic also contains beta hydroxy acids to help dry up breakouts Lo and behold I did have a boo boo on the day I was at Bigelow so I dabbed a bit of the lightest shade on and the Medic blended seamlessly with the makeup I had on It didn t cake up or turn orangey on me and my blemish was noticeably flatter and less red by the time I packed it in for the night Two things to know though First most of the Medic shades seem best suited to darker skins except for the lightest shade which I used and it s really light Second if you re going to wear Medic overnight while sleeping or for that matter under or over makeup make sure you apply only a tiny bit it s all you ll need and if you lay it on thick it won t dry correctly That will leave you with either makeup spots on your pillow or a cakey spot on your face The many color cosmetics in the Alchemy line are definitely worth a look but since they weren t on my priority list that day I kind of glided over them From what I could see though they were very richly pigmented the few I swatched on my hand seemed to have a substantial yet natural feel I particularly liked the blush in a pinch your cheeks shade called Meadowsweet I also admired the lipsticks which I suspect contain a good deal of vitamin E like the rest of the Alchemy product line Good to know Pricewise Alchemy items top out at 30 for the foundation Lipsticks are 16 50 eye and lip pencils cost about 14 stick foundation is 28 and loose powder costs 30 For more information on Alchemy or other products sold by Bigelow Chemists Australia s Bloom line Get Fresh bath fizzies and soaps Terax hair care Ficarre

FREE COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER FEB 99 COSMETICS FOR WOMEN OF COLOR 2 An Investigation from our Panelist Aina I love makeup so doing articles for Cosmetic Connection gives me a great excuse as if I needed one to raid the drug and department stores for great cosmetic lines and shades for Women of Color I grew up in the eighties where the pickings were very slim as far as finding good makeup for Women of Color Oh how I hate to remember those days walking around in bright mauve and purple lipstick and what s worse thinking I looked good in it Things have come a long way since then These days in my makeup drawer I love Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Raisin Rage Bali Brown and Chocolate Bar L Oreal Rouge Virtual in Expresso and Spice MAC lipstick in Photo and Film Noir and Clinique lipstick in Black Lily and Double Fudge I tend to go for the lower end brands of lipstick since I buy lipstick all the time and have to stick to a budget I do indulge myself every now and then buying Clinique MAC and my most recent splurge Christian Dior Diorific Plastic Shine in Bold Brown I tend to stay away from the cosmetic lines specifically marketed for Women of Color In the past I have found these lines have foundations too red or orange for my complexion and lipstick colors that are too vivid who says black women want to wear orange and fuschia lipstick That was a long time ago and since I got this assignment I decided to give Black Opal and Fashion Fair Cosmetics a look see Here s what happened My first mission was investigating Black Opal Cosmetics This is a fairly new company with modern looking basic black packaging that didn t look half bad Available in the line was their True Color Foundation Oil Free in about 8 or nine shades running the gamut from lightest to darkest Also available are a foundation stick and a creme to powder compact all for 6 or 7 dollars depending on where you buy it Since this was a drug store I really couldn t play with the colors like I wanted The few foundations I did test were either one shade too light or one shade too dark for me I did spend a lot of time looking at their True Tone Vitamin Rich lipsticks 4 or 5 Dollars As I suspected times haven t changed that much here s a list of the nightmare shades I encountered Eternal Flame A bright Orange yikes Island Fuschia It s Electric Fantasia an electric purple pink Who is this supposed to look good on Zanzibery a bright cranberry shimmer Why Why Why Fortunately there were some new colors added to the line and some nice neutrals scattered among the other shades Creme de Cocoa A little too neutral for me It made my face look washed out but nice nonetheless Cashmere Brown This was the Neutral for me I ll pair it with a slightly darker brown lip liner and blend for a nice look Bon Bon A great Expresso Coffee shimmer I probably have five colors just like it at home If I ever run out of those I ll get this one Goddess Pretty Burgundy Brown shimmer Not for me but nice if you want an evening look Ebony Wine Again I have colors just like this but a nice dramatic deep brown Also available is a line of 5 sheer lipsticks with SPF 15 That is a first a cosmetic company for Women of Color that addresses sun protection Barely Wine and Barely Mocha were among my faves I m not a fan of gold lipstick but if I had to choose I d wear Touch of Gold Overall I thought this line was very nice The prices are great and the color selection better than I anticipated There is also a skincare line one for men and one for women that I ll have to take a closer look at I give Black Opal 3 5 out of 5 stars My next stop was Macy s where the Fashion Fair counter was I stopped by the Flori Robert s counter but the counter person was so uninterested in helping me I decided to wait for another day when she isn t there You could see the counter from a mile away Everything was pink It was already turning me off but I swallowed my pre conceived notions and gave it a chance The woman at Fashion Fair was very helpful She was wearing a foundation that looked very heavy and a little too orange for her skin strike two She was a bit busy but took care of me as soon as she was free While waiting I took a look at the lipsticks 10 50 Now I could play but unfortunately I had to play with colors like Fiery Fuschia Reggae Red and Ole Orange There were some nice browns and even a copper that looked nice on me but they seemed like afterthoughts to their established standards of bright purples oranges and classic reds They did have a line of Forever Matte lipsticks 12 50 that was only slightly better in color selection They weren t too drying either The counter person tried an Oil free liquid makeup 17 75 on my face in Honey Amber I have to say it matched my skin very well and felt pretty nice I m not a big foundation person but I am getting married soon and will need a good foundation for wedding photos This will be on my list I would have bought it but I already have a bottle of my favorite Prescriptives Virtual Skin in Real Antelope Also available was an Oil Free Perfect Finish Souffl 22 73 and a Perfect Finish Creme to Powder foundation 21 65 Fashion Fair also has a skin care line but I wasn t that interested in taking home those big bright bottles All in all the line was not great but better than I expected I give it 2 5 out of 5 stars I will be looking at these and other lines more closely investigating eye and blush colors As long as they keep making the stuff I ll be around to check it out SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books

product care line because I have been using the line for years I also happened to have many of the products in my bathroom just waiting to be used Here are the products I tried Ahava Mud Masque Oily and Combination skin I had been using this product for years until I discovered Fango Mud from the Italian company Borghese After trying the Ahava mud again I have to say that I still prefer Fango mud The Ahava product would probably be better for someone with very oily skin and over the last few years my skin has lost much of its oiliness The Ahava mud texture is nice and thick as it should be for mud and you don t have to use a whole lot like you do with the Fango mud The Ahava mud feels really good going on but starts to sting after a few seconds The stinging stops after about a minute which is good considering the directions tell you to leave it on for 10 15 minutes A few minutes after rinsing the mud off I noticed that my skin seemed to glow and had a new radiance but this effect disappeared within an hour and then my skin felt really tight and uncomfortable I would not use or buy this product again but I might recommend it to someone with very oily skin Ahava Dead Sea Salts for the bath This has been and probably will remain my favorite Ahava product I m the type of person who is really sensitive to fragrance so finding suitable products for the bath has always been more of a chore than a fun shopping experience That is until I discovered the fragrance free Ahava Dead Sea salts I m not sure how they are packaged in the States since I usually stock up when in Israel but I get them in a box full of 10 pre measured individually wrapped packages that you simply unwrap and pour into your bath The salts look a little dirty but that s part of the experience of using salt from the Dead Sea The makers of this product claim that the salts will soothe tired muscles and purify the skin I m not sure about the skin purifying part but I definitely noticed that my sore legs felt better after the bath I suppose one could simply use Epsom salts for the same results but where s the fun in that Ahava Advanced Hand Lotion I tried Ahava s hand lotion a few years ago before it was called advanced and was very disappointed by its greasiness so I wasn t too excited when my father brought me a tube of the advanced hand lotion after a recent trip to Israel Turns out I was in for a very pleasant surprise This lotion is most definitely advanced It has none of the greasy feel of the previous line and it absorbed into my skin within a few seconds of application Another plus it kept my hands feeling smooth for hours even after two washings The only drawback to this lotion is the lack of SPF protection If that s a consideration you might be better off choosing the latest hand lotion from Clarins which has an SPF of 15 SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT July 11 1997 With summer finally in full swing many of us have a whole host of new beauty concerns like frizzy hair clogged and stressed skin and sun damage all thanks to humidity scorching sun and endless outdoor activities This week a look at a few products that offer some relief Even testing new products as often as I do hasn t stopped me from becoming brand loyal from time to time If it works why change right I ve been using Aveda hair care products for years after trying a friend s Rosemary Mint conditioner in college and loving it Lately though my hair hasn t been responding as well and it s still just as dry and frizzy as ever I decided to stray and try KMS Haircare another salon brand that is easier to find and a bit less expensive I started with their Moisturizing Shampoo 6 for 8 ounces and Silker Reconstructor 8 for 8 ounces and now I think I have a new brand The Moisturizing Shampoo left my hair clean soft and actually comb able then adding the Silker Reconstructor made all the difference This daily detangling conditioner made my hair soft and touchable again without weighing it down To add a little control and soften those frizzies I finished with Flat Out Relaxing Balm 17 for 6 ounces and was amazed at how well it worked Just working a little through my towel dried hair made it instantly straighter I didn t have to tug at it with a brush as I dried it to keep it straight and the final style was smooth and soft not stiff or sticky If you have wavy or even curly hair that you d like to try straighter this is one straightening balm that actually works For my often summer stressed skin I turned to a few samples I got recently of H2O alpha hydroxy Smoothing Facial Cleanser and Smoothing Face and Body Wash scrub Both are water based and contain a combination of fruit acids like lactic malic and glycolic that are supposed to help exfoliate the skin and keep it looking fresh I liked the Face and Body Wash scrub very much very gentle beads in a gel cleanser leave the skin feeling fresh and clean I wasn t that crazy about the Smoothing Facial Cleanser for two reasons because of the fruit acids you can t get this cleanser even close to your eyes yet those same fruit acids just get washed down the drain when you rinse the cleanser off so it never has time to exfoliate The risk of getting it in your eyes is much greater than any exfoliating benefits you ll see from the AHAs they just aren t on the skin long enough to work On top of that the cleanser itself left a greasy film on my skin that felt like I still had makeup on I ll be sticking to a regular rinse off cleanser thank you For an exfoliating and wrinkle reducing treatment that really does work Avon s Anew Retinol Recovery Complex 17 50 is definitely worth trying especially if you have sun damaged skin lots of fine lines or even deep wrinkles Retinol a vitamin A derivative works to gently exfoliate dead and damaged skin cells replacing them with fresh new cells This sloughing action can make wrinkles less severe and reduce splotchiness age spots and sun damage My main objective in using the Retinol Recovery Complex was to reduce some of the redness I ve had in my cheeks from living under the Florida sun for four years After using it every night for just over 2 months my skin felt smooth and actually looked less ruddy This lightweight cream penetrates very quickly and is light enough that you can use your regular moisturizer over it if necessary While the major benefits are definitely more long term if you have sun damage or noticeable wrinkles that bother you this cream might just give you the results you are looking for Since sensitive skin can happen at any time of year at any age for any number of reasons I m always on the lookout for any treatment that may offer some relief For me and many other Cosmetic Connection readers who have emailed me sensitive skin often means patchy redness tiny bumps or itchy skin that just won t go away While taking advantage of a Clarins Skin Care Center free mini facial a few weeks ago I decided to try their Skin Beauty Repair fluid for sensitive skin 42 for 5 ounce to see if it would help Applied every night after cleansing and toning its combination of essential plant oils is supposed to calm soothe and normalize sensitive skin While my skin did soak up the oils for the first few nights after any dryness was relieved I experienced small breakouts around my chin and mouth Not the effect I was looking for I want to believe that essential oils like these can be beneficial to the skin but finding the right combination of oils for your skin is time consuming and completely trial and error Maybe this blend from Clarins will work for you but at 42 for such a tiny bottle it s really overpriced for what you get but I returned mine If there s one thing I always try to remember about cosmetics and skin care it s that it should be fun Why put yourself through all that work to look your best if it s not at least a little enjoyable right In the spirit of cosmetic fun BeneFit Cosmetics will be featuring this October and November at participating BeneFit

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT April 18 1997 For most of us spring is finally settling in and summer is fast approaching to take its place Here in Oregon the state infamous for rain we get pretty excited when the sun actually makes an appearance For those long awaited sunny days I like to have a few quick and easy long wearing makeup products that help me look great and give me more time to enjoy the sunshine The most important part of a great makeup look at any time of year is your skin If mine isn t looking and feeling 100 perfect I want a foundation that can fake it for me Since warmer weather often means oilier skin spring and summer are the perfect seasons for a cream to powder or powder based foundation MAC Studio Fix has been one of my favorites for years but it s not the only one anymore Aveda Dual Performance Creme Powder Prescriptives Instant Face and Garden Botanika Powder Plus are all good choices for a liquid foundation alternative Personally I like Aveda s powder the best even over Studio Fix gasp because it has a silkier less powdery texture and I found a better color match for my skin All of these powder formulas can be applied with a puff sponge or brush and work best on normal normal to dry normal to oily and combination skin types For those of us who don t tan use self tanners or bronzers a quick and easy cream blush is a great way to add some natural looking color to your face The new cream blushes like Cheekbuds from Prescriptives and Amazing Lasting Blush from Almay work great on bare skin over a tinted moisturizer or over your liquid foundation The Prescriptives Cheekbuds I tried in Bluerose a cool raspberry color is perfect if you have more pink undertones in your skin for more yellow undertones there is the warmer shade Goldrose Almay s Amazing Lasting collection has more color options but I found the blush to be less creamy than Cheekbuds and the included sponge was difficult to work with It works much better when you apply it with your fingers A great trick for an easy minimalist makeup look that still looks polished is well groomed eye brows Whether you need to fill in what s missing or just control what you ve got an eye brow pencil or powder and clear brow gel can work wonders to bring out your eyes and add definition to your face Of the brow products I ve tried my two favorites are Brow and Lash Gel and Eyebrow Makeup both from The Body Shop The Eyebrow Makeup is a waxy powder that comes in a refillable case with a small mirror and angled brush To complete the look a good mascara like Jane Flashes Max Factor 2000 Calorie or L Oreal Voluminous separates and darkens lashes without clumping smearing or flaking To complete this spring and summer look I like a great shade of lipstick or gloss in a fresh pink or peach A few of my favorites are Lancome s new Lip Brio in Rose Audrey Origins Slipcovers in Opal MAC lipstick in Skew Stila Lipshine gloss in Rose Shine or Lilac Shine Clinique Long Last Soft Shine lipstick in Baby Kiss and Jane Barely Lips lipstick in Partly Peach For convenience I like to skip lip liner or use something really neutral like Nat Robbins Totally Nude The Body Shop Beech or MAC Spice that gives definition and prevents bleeding without looking obvious That s it The key to a fresh makeup look this spring and summer is soft pretty colors so put away those neutral browns and grays until next fall Now that you have some color ideas do you feel overwhelmed by just how to put them on Don t miss Cosmetic Connection s new April Feature Makeup 101 the first in a series of

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT April 11 1997 One of my first and fondest memories of cosmetics is of those little sample size Avon lipsticks My grandmother would always get a few in her order of Skin So Soft bath oil and Silicone Glove hand cream Every time I visited she would show me her new colors and let me try them all on I couldn t have been more than 5 years old Twenty years later my grandmother still sends me Silicone Glove hand cream in the mail I ve always know Avon for bath products and lipstick so when I recently got the opportunity to try some Avon skin care I jumped Avon has come out with quite an array of alpha hydroxy products over the last few years called Anew that had really sparked my interest All of the products I tried are under US 20 and I think they are just as good if not better in some cases than many drug and department store products Anew Perfect Cleanser After using milky cleansers since fall I was concerned that this foaming cleanser would dry my face It actually worked great and left my face feeling comfortable It has a very slight fragrance a light foaming action and it rinses away quickly with just a few splashes For normal combination or slightly oily skin this cleanser does the trick Anew All In One Perfecting Lotion SPF 8 I have tried several AHA lotions and gels over the last few years all of varying textures and concentrations My all time favorite is still Alpha Hydrox drugstore brand in the red box but this one from Avon is a close second It has a lightweight texture absorbs quickly and works well under makeup I was really surprised to find that the main exfoliating ingredient is salicylic acid not lactic or glycolic acid This Lotion version is oil free and considered more for sensitive skin because of the low levels of AHAs and fruit acids the alternative for normal skin is their All In One Perfecting Complex with 4 AHAs and SPF 15 Anew Perfect Eye Care Cream SPF 15 I ve tried quite a few eye creams lately and none of them made me believe I couldn t live without them I just might change my mind with this one from Avon Not only does it have great sun protection helps prevent wrinkles from sun damage but the lightweight feel and easy absorption makes it great under makeup without being too heavy or greasy so your eye makeup can stay put better While this eye cream does have AHAs the levels are so low around 2 that they just act as moisturizers and not exfoliators Hydrofirming Cream Night Treatment If my skin was still dry and winter worn I think this night cream would have worked better for me Instead it was a bit too emollient and oily If you have dry skin this cream is a great choice It has anti oxidant vitamins A C and E and a whole slew of plant oils like jojoba sunflower seed grape and evening primrose In keeping with my fond memories of Avon lipstick I also got to try Avon s Beyond Color with SPF 12 lipstick in Twig and Luxury Liplining Pencil in Spice These are both great wearable colors that are classic and work well for everyday The lipstick starts very creamy and moist then soaks in to a more demi matte and long wearing finish At just 6 a tube I would definitely buy this over some of the department store lines The liner was smooth easy to apply and blended well into the lipstick so there was no tell tale line I could really get used to its 2 75 price tag If you are considering trying Avon or just want a new way to shop for your favorite Avon products Avon has a terrific web site at http www avon com where you can find out more about these products the rest of the line and even do your shopping online Summer for many of us is somewhere around a nearby corner If you are considering trying one of the many self tanning lotions for summer color without the sun damage exfoliating your skin is an important step to a streak free long lasting tan From my recent trip to the Clarins counter I picked up a sample of their Exfoliating Body Scrub After using it a few times in the shower I found this scrub to be pretty ordinary and highly overpriced 30 Unless you are 100 loyal to Clarins any scrub from the drugstore like Freeman Botanicals or one from The Body Shop Bath Body Works or Garden Botanika is going to have the same effect at a much better price Just the other day as I was checking out the latest and greatest at my local Nordstrom I noticed a new arrival Phytotherathrie hair care products Since it was so new their sample selection was a bit sparse Luckily my hair has been acting dry and frizzy lately so I was glad they had samples of the Phytocadamia Macadamia oil shampoo and Phyto 7 treatment cream both for dry hair After using the shampoo a few times I do like it but it doesn t seem that different from other plant based shampoos I ve used In addition to the plant oils it also has the usual cleansers to actually clean the hair just like other brands I also used the Phyto 7 treatment cream after each shampoo which acted like a conditioner and a styling aid The cream was easy to apply and distributed well through the hair It left my hair looking full and smooth but my hair didn t feel as soft as I thought it would I found the major thing missing from Phytotherathrie s line are basic rinse out conditioners While the treatment creams do have plant oils that are conditioning they act more like styling aids and didn t deliver the level of conditioning I was looking for The frizz control was great but the softness just wasn t there For more information about Phytotherathrie hair care products

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT February 21 1997 Have you been eyeing the calendar lately wondering when winter will finally be over If you consider the new colors at the cosmetic counters lately as any indication spring is definitely right around the corner Lines like Lancome Prescriptives Estee Lauder and Origins are all blooming with cheerful pastels and soft browns and purples to help you shake off those winter blahs Origins has also introduced two new products just in time for spring Sprinkler System facial spray freshener and Mind Your Mouth lip balm Some stores are also doing Origins makeover promotions with their new spring colors complete with a take home gift Definitely worth investigating Since I ve spent a bit of time at the Origins counter lately I ve had a chance to try their Original Skin foundation in all three levels of coverage appropriately named Some More and Most Having fair skin and rosey cheeks always makes me a candidate for what I call the Pink Face Syndrome cosmetic companies think because I have fair skin I must be very pink too The first Original Skin samples in Porcelain were of course way too pink I looked like I slathered my face in calamine lotion My second try with Ivory was much better but then I couldn t find a coverage that I liked Some was too sheer to even bother putting on More was streaky and a bit hard to blend and Most was too opaque and matte for someone with relatively normal skin If your skin is more oily and you need a good coverage with some oil control Most might work for you All in all I think Origins idea of three formulas is great but none of them really did anything for me One more quick Origins note I did find a great product for sore muscles called Muscle Easing On the Spot Gel Apply this cream gel to sore shoulders neck legs or wherever you need it for instant relief and a nice touch of aromatherapy Great if you carry a heavy purse backpack or briefcase around all day I ve gotten a few requests lately from readers wondering about Chanel products and if they are worthy of those high price tags This week I decided to investigate starting with Chanel s new Teint Caresse Naturel Natural Perfection Makeup in Soft Ivory Although the coverage is considered sheer I found it to be just enough to cover any slight redness or uneven skin tone without looking like makeup It was a little hard to blend at first but using a very slightly dampened sponge helped After setting it with a little powder the color looked natural and lasted all day without getting cakey crumbly or shiny even on my shine prone forehead I did like this foundation but would I switch from paying 18 for MAC Satin Finish to paying 40 for Chanel For a change of pace and a less emollient texture I would definitely consider it but don t feel like you have to spend 40 to get a quality foundation You don t The last item on this week s cosmetic shopping list was Clinique s new treatment product Exceptionally Soothing Lotion or cream for Upset Skin I tried both the lotion and the cream and I can t say that either one really helped relieve any itchy or red spots on my skin that much With the main ingredient being hydrocortisone which can be found in your average over the counter drugstore itch lotion I m not sure why Clinique believes their 30 formula is so much better Clinique has actually been liberal with sample packets of this product so if you have sensitive skin I d say try it for yourself and see if you think it s worth 30 You ve heard all about the Cosmetic Connection

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT February 14 1997 Happy Valentine s Day from the Cosmetic Connection I ve decided my new motto is So many products so few sample containers This Valentine s Day I d like to share some new products that are worth trying and some others that should stay at the store Thinking about testing the staying power of one of the many long wearing lipsticks on your Valentine today Think twice before you do it with Elizabeth Arden s new Exceptional Lipstick My all day test drive showed it s not only not exceptional it s downright ordinary I couldn t help but wonder if Elizabeth Arden is aware of that because my local counters were already selling them as buy one get one free The color selection is fine the texture is a little thin but I didn t find them to be anything special Continuing from last week s reviews of Origins skin care this week I concluded my testing their Starting Over AHA serum with sugarcane and tomato fruit acids This AHA is extremely mild making it a good choice for more sensitive skin After using my samples for just over two weeks I do notice a very slight difference in the texture of my skin My forehead and cheeks do look and feel a bit smoother The light serum consistency makes it great for under your regular moisturizer or alone if your skin is more oily Origins has great little plastic bottles for samples so I d recommend trying Starting Over if you are looking for a light and gentle AHA to add to your skin care routine Origins users with drier skin may also be interested in their newest product Drink Up a moisture boost mask for dehydrated or sensitive skin Be sure to at least smell it the orange blossom and apricot oils in it smell divine It also contains a small amount of algae extract much like BeneFit s Seaweed Mud Mask which seems to be popping up in a variety of treatment products lately If your skin is feeling the effects of the cold outside and the heat inside another mask to try is Aveda s Intensive Hydrating Masque Andrea at my local Aveda Spa sent me home yet again with my sample in a paper dixie cup This mask is a clear gel that you can either apply in a thick layer leave on for 5 10 minutes and rinse off or you can apply a thin layer and just let it completely soak in My ultimate test was trying it after a night of waiting outside for over an hour to see Star Wars at my local movie theater My skin was so dehydrated from the cold that after about 5 minutes of letting the mask soak in there was really nothing left to wipe away Thankfully it left my skin feeling softer and more comfortable Next week The Cosmetic Report will cover Clinique s new Exceptionally Soothing line of lotion and cream for upset skin as well as Origins Sensory Therapy gels their Original Skin

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT February 7 1997 One of my favorite cosmetic activities besides getting samples is having my makeup done When you find a good artist with a nice line you not only have fun and feel pampered but you can pick up a few handy techniques and color ideas I had one of those great afternoons this week at Portland s very first Trish McEvoy counter The Trish McEvoy line had been fairly hyped up in my mind as just another boutique line like a knock off of MAC or Bobbi Brown It was supposed to have great brushes but that was all I ever heard about After my experience at Trish I think this line is a definite contender in the world of higher end cosmetics The artists are knowledgeable the product quality is great and the color selection is good and growing The one thing that stood out right away as my makeover session began is that Trish McEvoy is known for makeup brushes for a reason not only are they very nice and come in tons of shapes and sizes but every product and technique has a brush to go with it For someone who isn t used to using brushes this can be a bit overwhelming and may make you feel like you can t achieve the look without them Thankfully the regional artist from San Francisco who did my makeup didn t push me to buy anything and even gave me tips on how to use the brushes I already own in new ways Of the products she used on me I liked the Face Essentials Kit the best For 35 you get a blush which can also be used as eye shadow two eye shadows and a powder liner in a handy mirrored compact Each of those items bought separately would cost almost twice as much so this is a great deal if you find a kit of colors you like and would use My other favorite product was the lipstick color 74 a light raspberry red color The texture was great and the color actually lasted most of the day with out touching up which I couldn t do anyway since I didn t buy it The only product that almost worked for me but missed the mark by the end of the day was the creme powder foundation I think if my skin were a bit drier it would have worked since the coverage and color 2 were beautiful but by evening it looked shiny and a bit cakey around the eyes Overall I would definitely recommend a visit to a Trish McEvoy counter near you to get your makeup done see what you think of the products and learn a few techniques Being the Aveda devotee that I am I did something this week that I never thought I would I tried a different brand I had been curious about Kiehl s Creme with Silk Groom hair styling lotion for months so during a trip to my local Saks 5th Ave store I picked up a sample and gave it a shot For my mind of their own waves this product really made them behave and the creamy consistency helped with my winter frizzies too If you ve got hard to handle hair that isn t superfine which can get weighed down easily by something this emollient try a sample of Kiehl s Creme with Silk Groom and see what you think Just one sample tube should last at least two weeks Before you head off to the mall this weekend be sure to visit the updated Personal Shopper Cosmetic Advisor page on the Cosmetic Connection

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT January 31 1997 I was once asked by a curious reader How do you test so many products without your face freaking out I often wonder that myself This week I tempted fate once again with my trials of Origins Liquid Crystal cleanser Comforting Solution and Constant Comforter cream Although I still don t believe Origins pitch that their products re train your skin to act more normal I did like the products I tried and they way they made my skin feel Origins has four cleansers Cream Bar Mint Wash Liquid Crystal and Pure Cream Each one is designed to simply cleanse the face and remove makeup so the formula you choose is just based on your personal preference The Liquid Crystal I tried has a very light texture that doesn t foam but turns into a milky liquid when you add a little water The peppermint oil in it could be irritating to some sensitive skins but I had no problem with it even around my eyes If you like something that lathers the Mint Wash is another nice product that leaves the skin clean and comfortable it s not really designed for very dry skin though Instead of traditional toners Origins Solutions are supposed to teach your skin cells to act more normal I don t think so That s really not possible but it doesn t mean the products are bad The Comforting Solution is basically an essential oils and aloe vera cocktail that you apply directly to your face without a cotton ball instead you pour a tiny pool of it in your palm and apply like you would a moisturizer I actually like this technique much better than wiping it on with cotton since you use less product it saves cotton balls and it just feels more refreshing For more information on these and other Origins products I ve tried including hair care and the Constant Comforter cream check out Origins review page In other product news for all you Garden Botanika fans GB has just introduced a new line of home fragrances appropriately named Garden Botanika At Home The line has everything from scented candles and room spray to hand creme and bath powder in 4 great new scents Harbor Inn Brownstone Bed Breakfast and Guest House Prices range from 8 50 for potpourri refresher oil to 17 50 for a package of very cool potpourri stones This line was just introduced this week so check your local store or the next version of the catalog call 1 800 968 7842 to order for more information Speaking of new and exciting if you are a MAC fan like me you are probably dying to know more about the new MAC Viva Glam 2 lipstick Available in stores tomorrow February 1 Viva Glam 2 is destined to be another MAC favorite The light pink lilac color reminds me of Wuss but with a major lilac kick While it was a bit too light for my fair complexion Viva Glam 2 is a good color for someone who doesn t normally wear lipstick or for someone who just looks great in lighter colors Testers should be available now so go try it on for yourself It s the end of the month

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT December 31 1999 It s New Year s Eve I want to take this opportunity to wish all of you a healthy happy and fulfilling 2000 It has been a pleasure bringing you this newsletter and the Cosmetic Connection site for the past 3 years Thanks for all your support and enthusiasm This week in my continued effort to bring you more color hair and body product reviews I ve got some goodies to share from J F Lazartigue Heavy Duty and Supersmile Enjoy J F Lazartigue hair care Lazartigue falls under the I ve heard of it but never tried it category so I was glad to finally have a look at a few of the products There are many more products in the line all of which you can find at eve com gloss com and beautyscene com Rapid Drying Shampoo 17 for 5 ounces I was intensely curious about this shampoo when I read about it in a few women s magazines so I was excited to finally try it All my enthusiasm was squashed when time after time every time I used this shampoo my hair took at least twice as long as usual to blowdry So much for rapid drying I tried the shampoo alone with conditioner with styling products and every time the results were the same soggy hair that took forever to dry Body Giving Shampoo 23 for 8 4 ounces After the Rapid Drying disappointment I had high hopes that this shampoo would work better for me Thankfully it does The blue green gel has just the right amount of lather and cleanses well without stripping I can t say my hair has noticeably more body than before but this is still a nice basic shampoo Vita Cream with Milk Proteins 43 for 6 8 ounces My hair has dry tendencies and it can be a bit flyaway and frizzy without the proper attention so a good conditioner is an essential part of my color treated style This cream is rich and leaves my hair feeling silky and soft but I hesitate recommending it for one glaring reason the obnoxious price I just about fell over when I first saw it My hair might look good but it also looks great with Komenuka Bijin Hair Conditioning Treatment for 30 Terax Crema conditioner for 19 or even ThermaSilk conditioner from the drugstore I like Vita Cream but it s just too spendy Disentangling Instant Silk Protein Spray 18 for 3 4 ounces If you like a very light leave in conditioner or if you need extra moisture in addition to regular rinse out conditioner this protein spray is okay but in my opinion too expensive for what you get If you want to spend a little less I like Tigi Fast Fixx and Garden Botanika Leave In both under 20 for 8 12 ounces instead Revitalizing Shining Blush 24 for 1 7 ounces I think I understand what Lazartigue was trying to do with this product create something to add shine and smoothness to the hair but for me it just doesn t work The idea is to spray the blush onto their Hair Makeup Brush 29 then brush it on the hair It would work much better if you could just spray the blush directly on the hair when I used the application brush it made my hair more static y and flyaway rather than smooth and manageable Root Volumizer 18 for 2 54 ounce tube For truly limp flat hair this lightweight gel is great for lift and hold The pointed tube design lets you apply the gel right where you need it at the roots You only need a small amount comb it through then use a round brush and blowdryer to get volume and lift It also holds well through the day so you don t need to load on the hairspray Heavy Duty body products This boutique line of body care products is popping up at all the major online beauty stores I first reviewed their HandGear hand cream back in Aug 1998 so I was excited to learn the line was doing well and expanding into some new products MotorWash shower gel 18 for 12 ounces I am a big fan of shower gel over soap and this one has a fresh citrus scent that is definitely worth waking up for I also like that you only need a small amount on a puff to work up a decent lather and it doesn t dry your skin AutoStrip shave cream 16 for 6 ounces I used to be a faithful shave cream user until I tried a drugstore brand that gave me a horrible rash Since then I ve just been using hair conditioner and suffering from less than great results ever since I am so glad to find AutoStrip It has a very silky airy texture and does a great job of conditioning the hair and creating just the right amount of slip for the razor so you don t get nicks or those annoying razor bumps My legs are much happier now BodyLube body lotion 22 for 8 ounces I like the texture of this lotion rich but not greasy and it does a great job of relieving dry skin but just like the Heavy Duty hand cream reviewed Aug 31 1998 the scent of this body lotion takes some getting used to Although it contains balm mint calendula sage and chamomile extracts it doesn t smell like any of those things to me it smells more like plastic If you prefer a floral or fruit scented lotion this isn t it For more information on Heavy Duty products it s available at gloss com eve com beautyscene com beautyjungle com in the Global Chic department dots2 com or ibeauty com Supersmile Tooth Whitening System For years I have lived with subtle white stains on my front teeth from too much fluoride when I was growing up I had my teeth bleached once years ago which didn t do much so I resigned myself to having these stains forever What I was not prepared to live with was a new crop of yellowish stains thanks to my daily espresso habit short single vanilla latte from Coffee People here in Portland When Supersmile contacted me about reviewing their product I was skeptical but definitely curious The Supersmile system consists of a whitening toothpaste 12 a mouthrinse 20 for 60 packets and an ergonomic toothbrush 8 The whitening toothpaste contains an ingredient called Calprox that together with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide is what gets rid of the stains How It removes the sticky film on your teeth that coffee tea wine etc clings to and creates stains The thinking is if you can get rid of that film you can get rid of the stain There is a catch though you might get rid of the food related stains but if you have naturally yellow teeth to begin with you need professional bleaching from your dentist to get truly white teeth Supersmile can only do so much After several weeks of using the toothpaste and rinse my teeth are a bit whiter and they definitely feel cleaner like I just had them polished at the dentist I am not too crazy about the toothbrush simply because it has a shorter handle than I m used to so it feels awkward in my hand but I would definitely get the toothpaste again Supersmile is available at beautyscene com and dots2 com Take a crack at this trivia question and you could be the lucky winner of a one year supply of Supersmile products The FIRST person to email me the complete correct answer will be our winner Put your thinking cap on this is a tough one The winner and complete answer will be revealed

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT December 27 1996 Happy Friday from the Cosmetic Connection As a woman with an online cosmetics venture I am always excited to talk to other women who are making a place for themselves on the Internet This week I had the pleasure of trying a new skin care product from one of the many women owned cosmetics businesses online Lite Cosmetics is based out of Oceanside California and specializes in skin care for seniors and for super sensitive skin I was intrigued by their super antioxidant cream Revive and what it could really do for the skin It contains an anti oxidant called pycnogenol which is supposed to be 50 times more powerful than vitamin E and 20 times more powerful than vitamin C against free radicals When my jar came in the mail I wasn t sure what to expect when I tried it Would I see results immediately and if so what would those results look like After using the cream for a week I can t say that I look any younger but my skin does look smoother and much less dry and flaky My usually weather sensitive skin felt soft and protected even in the worst Oregon wind It looks so smooth and even toned that I have felt comfortable to go out without makeup on several occasions At just under 15 a jar if you have very sensitive skin that is also dry or normal to dry or if you are interested in the benefits of anti oxidants this cream is worth checking out For more information on Lite Cosmetics and anti oxidants you can visit their web site at http www seniorcosmetics com In other product testing news since trying Aveda s Skin Firming Toning Agent I have really enjoyed using a toner in spray form This week I got the opportunity to try Aveda s other spray toner from their All Sensitive line I enjoyed testing the other All Sensitive products and this toner was equally calming and soothing to my skin It feels cool and refreshing it works great as a base before moisturizer and it has no offensive fragrance If you are an Aveda fan and have sensitive skin I would definitely recommend taking a look at this toner We had another great month of guestbook entries here at Cosmetic Connection December s Beauty Pack drawing winners are Jackie Kwan of Quincy Massachusetts and Terry Cornelius of Chicago Illinois Congratulations If you would like to win your very own Cosmetic Connection Beauty Pack full of great samples just sign the

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT December 26 1997 Happy Holidays from the Cosmetic Connection Cosmetic Connection is pleased to finally bring you long awaited reviews of Mary Kay cosmetics and skin care After trying a few MK samples and finally meeting with a MK Independent Beauty Consultant for a complimentary facial and introduction to the products I bring you these reviews of everything I tried Gentle Cleansing Cream 1 10 for 4 ounces If you follow the directions this is a nice cleanser for dry skin that is not irritated by the use of a washcloth you can rinse this cleanser off but a washcloth makes it much easier It does a fair job of removing makeup has minimal fragrance and works well with just a small amount Creamy Cleanser 2 10 for 6 5 ounces Very similar to the Gentle Cleansing Cream you can splash this one off or use a washcloth It is more fluid than the cream removes makeup just as well and is a good choice for somewhat dry or normal skin that likes a more milky cleanser that doesn t foam or lather Moisture Rich Mask 1 12 for 4 ounces I like that all MK s masks are exfoliating as well as deep cleaning or moisturizing This one has tiny waxy beads in a creamy base great as a scrub or a mask for dry skin Great in the shower Revitalizing Mask 2 12 for 4 ounces I was not as happy with this mask it has ground up shells and seeds that are too sharp and jagged for your skin Exfoliating should always be gentle If you have normal to oily skin the clay base of this mask is nice for excess oil just be careful about how much scrubbing you do Hydrating Freshener 1 11 for 6 5 ounces This level one toner for dry skin is the only one that doesn t contain alcohol so it s the only one I tried I m not a fan of alcohol in toners because they strip too much of the natural moisture from your face which if you are oily only makes your skin produce more oil to make up for the dryness This freshener does contain menthol arnica and peppermint which can be irritating to sensitive skin but it also contains allantoin and aloe which are soothing This is definitely worth sampling first before you buy to see if it works for you Enriched Moisturizer 1 16 for 4 ounces This is a very basic and fairly effective moisturizer that contains mostly water and mineral oil If you are extremely dry you ll need something more emollient as this lotion is somewhat thin but for normal to dry skin it s lightweight and works well Balancing Moisturizer 2 16 for 4 ounces Very similar to the Enriched Moisturizer I really couldn t tell the difference on my face between the two For normal skin as a daily moisturizer this is a fine choice The only thing both lotions are missing is sunscreen Acne Treatment Gel 6 for 1 5 ounces For the occasional blemishes this 5 benzoyl peroxide cream gel works well and doesn t overdry the skin I tried it on a few pesky pimples and saw excellent results within 2 days Day Radiance 2 Liquid Foundation SPF8 11 for 1 ounce MK believes that foundation is part of your skin care routine as a protectant from the environment so it s included with your initial skin care purchase I ve been very pleased so far with this liquid foundation for its medium coverage smooth demi matte finish and allday wear without caking or fading The color selection is decent and you can choose from oil free liquid regular liquid or compact cream I also had fun playing with MK colors and created these looks Crystalline shadow with sable pencil on eyes desert bloom and camel blushes on cheeks suede lipstick with choice chocolate liner White sand spun silk and truffle as liner shadows on eyes azalea blush on cheeks chocolate mousse lipstick with choice chocolate liner All of the MK colors lasted well throughout the day especially the lipsticks Overall I m glad I finally tried Mary Kay and can recommend most of their products as effective and reasonably priced For more information about Mary Kay visit them online at www marykay com or contact your local consultant Next week Cosmetic Connection will feature reviews of Avon s new Age Block Daytime Defense Cream a few Kiehl s shampoos and conditioners and much more Happy Holidays and

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT December 24 1999 New Year s Eve is right around the corner so if it s party perfect glamour you re after this week s reviews are just for you Stila Flaunt 45 I m not much of a body powder user mainly because they are usually too perfumy for me Flaunt is a nice change with subtle scents like gardenia and jasmine and just a touch of shimmer that looks pretty on arms shoulders or wherever The packaging is also unique the powder comes in a standard cardboard shaker but there is a pretty decorative cover with one of the Stila girls on it that fits over the top so you re less likely to spill powder everywhere It also comes with a small puff that fits under the cover BeneFit Kitten 22 Again I m not much for powder but this one from BeneFit is unique as well the powder is contained within the puff Kitten comes in a pretty vanity appropriate gold trimmed box with a fluffy peach colored puff inside but no loose powder The powder is actually inside the puff so when you pat the puff on your skin the powder comes out Clever and much less messy Kitten has subtle golden flecks and a feminine floral scent You can find BeneFit products at benefitcosmetics com which also has a list of regular store locations or at eve com Cargo ColorTube 24 in Dublin peachy orange It seems like every brand has an all in one three in one or lip cheek color that can be used on eyes cheeks or lips This one from Cargo reminds me most of Stila s All Over Shimmer it s a cream that comes in a tube has a light silky texture and comes in a variety of sheer and slightly shimmery shades of pink peach and champagne You can use it as eye shadow highlighter for eyes or cheeks blush and lip color but personally I like it as lip color the best The creamy texture tends to slide into the crease of the eyelid and you can t really powder over it and when worn on the cheeks it really works best alone without foundation or powder tough for anyone with less than perfect skin You can find Cargo products online at eve com beauty com and sephora com If you prefer to shop in a regular store gasp Barneys in New York City Seattle Boston Chicago and Beverly Hills carries the line as well as Sephora in San Francisco San Diego New York City and Northbrook Illinois If you happen to be in Canada Cargo a Canadian company by the way is available at The Bay in Toronto and The Sarum Room in Unionville Prescriptives Magic Liquid Lotion There have been so many articles on these new Magic products in all the women s magazines I practically ran to the local mall to check it out Magic is available as a lotion cream which comes in a compact like Prescriptives Photochrome foundation loose powder line filler cream comes in a tube like a cream concealer and undereye stick Each one contains holographic particles and is supposed to deflect light and make the skin appear flawless I had high hopes of it erasing all my complexion flaws and eliminating the need for me to ever wear foundation again Well keep dreaming I found it to be an over rated highlighter and nothing more Magic liquid is simply a pearl colored lotion with a bit of shimmer it reminds me of BeneFit High Beam Applied under the eyes or on cheeks it gives a soft shimmer effect that mimics the dewy look seen on the fashion runways If you are into the dewy look and like shimmer products try getting a sample of one of the Magic product to see what you think I was not able to try the other products because all the counters I visited had either a very limited shipment that they sold right away or no product yet at all If the other products are anything like the lotion I ll be spending my money on something more worthwhile In Cosmetic News Part of reviewing all these products involves me staying current on what is new and exciting in the beauty industry I learned recently that Biore is coming out with two new products at the beginning of the year for those of you with acne prone skin Blemish Fighting Cleanser 6 99 for 5 ounces will be a salicylic acid treatment cleanser designed to heal blemishes and help prevent new breakouts Even more exciting is their new Blemish Bomb a salicylic acid treatment that goes on as a gel but dries to a clear patch that you leave on overnight A box of 10 single use packets will sell for 6 99 As soon as I can get my hands on both of these you can be sure I ll have a review for you SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT December 20 1996 Even though the first day of winter is upon us Prescriptives has just released their new spring colors Are they on the same calendar as the rest of us If you are already tired of turtlenecks and fuzzy sweaters maybe these fun new shimmers and pastels will make you feel like it s April The spring collection has 8 new eyeshadow colors 4 new blush colors 6 new lipstick colors 2 new shimmer lipglosses a metallic gold liner pencil and 3 new cream shadows called Eyelights The Eyelights are very similar to Origins Slipcovers and H2O s new cream shadows I had the pleasure of trying the Yellow Orange shadows Buttercup and Foxy as well as Pretty Tan blush and the Golden lipgloss The lipgloss is very shiny and perfect for the current shimmer trend but the eyeshadow colors weren t anything special and the blush was just not my color I can t remember that last time I blushed in Tan If you happen to be at Prescriptives check out the new colors and see what you think While I m on the subject of Prescriptives many of you have read my review of their Virtual Skin foundation and my commentary on the accuracy of Prescriptives Colorprinting system The latest installment of this on going saga is that I was colorprinted yet again and this time I am a yellow orange not a blue red red or red orange as I have been printed before I think yellow orange is the right one but I can t help but feel frustrated with the whole process Which one should I believe My best advice about Prescriptives is to go with your gut instinct If the makeup artist says you are a blue red but you know that foundation is just too pink don t stand for it And by all means don t buy something you know is the wrong color for you Okay I ll get off my soap box now In happier news I just finished a week of testing Aveda s Cherry Almond Bark conditioner and it was terrific For those of you with dry coarse flyaway frizzy or just plain unmanageable hair this conditioner would be a great everyday choice for you If your hair is also fine like mine just be careful not to use too much For finer hair it also makes a great intensive weekly treatment Another great find this week was the first quick dry clear nailpolish that I have ever seen actually work If you hate waiting for hours for your nailpolish to dry check out Ozone quick dry topcoat from Urban Decay This stuff dries to an incredible hard finish in under 5 minutes No kidding We re almost at the end of December already and that means another Cosmetic Connection Beauty Pack drawing

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT December 19 1997 Happy Holidays from the Cosmetic Connection It s 10 Challenge time again If you are new to this ultimate drugstore scavenger hunt here s how it works take 10 into a drug or discount store and see what cool products you can find Simple For our 5th installment of this Cosmetic Connection favorite I discovered these products at my local Drug Emporium store Almay Extra Moisturizing Under Eye Cover Cream 3 49 If you have oily skin you might not select this concealer with a name like extra moisturizing but you d be missing out on something that might give you the stay put coverage you re looking for With a consistency that is actually more powdery than moisturizing Almay Extra Moisturizing is really better suited to oily skin than dry any day If you have fines lines or dry skin I d sooner recommend Revlon New Complexion Stila Bobbi Brown which are more creamy Wet Wild Mega Colors lipstick toasted coconut 0 89 I must admit in the 10 years that I have been a cosmetic enthusiast this was my first time trying Wet n Wild Thankfully I overcame my skepticism and found out how great their lipsticks are Stick with matte neutrals or classic shades and you ll find Wet n Wild is actually better than some department store brands What a great find M Professional mascara black 2 99 This mascara easily joins the ranks of other drugstore mascaras that I love Jane L Oreeal Max Factor It has a full densely packed brush that delivers clump free lash building and lengthening color in just a few strokes Perfect Revlon Velvet Touch lipstick sherry seduction 3 29 Another huge hit of this 10 Challenge this lipstick from Revlon re defines velvet If you like full rich color with great staying power this lipstick is it With beautiful colors and an incredible silky feel you just can t beat it especially at this price During a routine search for new sites and interesting cosmetics online I discovered that Lush Cosmetics the popular all natural fresh ingredient line from England has a website at lushcanada com From their famous bath bombs to solid shampoo and great smelling bath and shower gels Lush has a great selection that tempted me to pick up a few things right online I love shower gels instead of soap so I couldn t resist crush a yummy orange juice infused fragrance 7 95 canadian and back to breakfast another citrus favorite with lemon grapefruit and lime 9 95 canadian Great for a fresh morning wake up To combat dry winter skin I love Lush s dream cream 14 95 canadian a thick rich cream packed with essential oils like rose chamomile tea tree and lavender Combined with cocoa butter this is the ultimate fresh hand and body lotion For my last indulgence I can never resist a new cleanser so spring cleanser for all skin types 9 95 canadian with its fresh cucumber and chamomile was a perfect choice I love it in the shower or after a long day when my skin really needs to feel refreshed Check out Lush Online for these and lots of other great fresh products Cosmetic Connection is pleased to finally bring you long awaited reviews of Mary Kay cosmetics and skin care coming up in next

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT December 18 1998 Special Update You may be wondering why the Special Update You may also be wondering why you have not received an issue of The Cosmetic Report since November 27th If you have been following the news of my pregnancy I am pleased to announce that the big day arrived baby Hannah is here She came rather unexpectedly on December 3rd a full two weeks before her December 18th due date Needless to say things both personally and professionally have turned completely upside down I really appreciate for your patience regarding the report Future issues may be a bit abbreviated in length but you can still count on great cosmetic information and reviews Now on to the report Our holiday makeup review series continues this week with Chanel s Share the Fantasy holiday collection For lips Double Lip Crayon 28 50 in Golddust has a creamy brown shade on one end and a glossy gold highlighter on the other The chunky pencil makes lining and

Sculpting Mascara 20 in Copper and Liquid Eye Lines 27 50 in Onyx near the lash line for fullness and definition a great technique for any liner and mascara pair You can even add sparkle to your nails with Nail Color 15 50 in Lam and Crystal For a touch of shimmer anywhere don t forget Crystal Glitter 25 on shoulders neck cheeks or wherever These are all beautiful colors for any holiday party or get together you have planned Looking for skin care products to relieve the dry sensitive skin that so many of us get around this time of year Clarins has recently expanded their sensitive skin line to include a new Gentle Day Lotion and Gentle Soothing Mask both of which are worth considering Personally my skin can t handle mineral oil major breakouts and most of Clarins sensitive skin products contain mineral oil but the Gentle Day Lotion is different This lightweight lotion feels great on the skin absorbs quickly but still gives you enough moisture to feel protected It s too light for very dry skin but for everyday wear it s a nice choice The Gentle Soothing Mask also feels great on the skin does wonders for really dry patches soaks in immediately with lasting moisture but it does contain mineral oil For most people this is no problem but some sensitive types react to it Personally I would sooner use BeneFit s Seaweed Mud Mask for dry skin which does an incredible job of

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT December 17 1999 It s another all makeup issue this week at Cosmetic Connection Many of you have been asking about Tommy Hilfiger s new line of cosmetics so I am pleased to bring you a review of the products I tried recently Also keep reading for a review of Philosophy s Complete Me mineral makeup at the end of this issue Tommy Hilfiger cosmetics I must have walked by the Tommy Hilfiger skin and body care products at my local Meier Frank department store a hundred times without stopping until they got the color cosmetics in The lighted self service displays were so appealing and just low enough to keep my daughter entertained while sitting in her stroller When the salesperson told me a bit about the line I was amazed at the reasonable prices and couldn t resist trying several colors Glow For It Cheek Color 15 in Passionate and Adoring On my first trip to the Hilfiger display I picked up Passionate cheek color Under the store lights it seemed like a medium plum rose but when I got it home I could see it was more of a warm orange red not at all what I thought I was getting I promptly returned it unopened for Adoring a medium pinky rose The color is very sheer and subtle so you could apply just a little for a touch of color or layer it on for more effect I found the sheerness to be a nice change from the more pigmented products I ve been using and it would be perfect for someone just starting out with makeup With colors this sheer it s hard to make a mistake Double Feature Wet Dry Eye Color 10 in Blase Dainty and Seductive I had the same color issue with one of the eye shadows Seductive looked like an eggplant purple shade in the store but ended up being almost red on my skin I exchanged it for Dainty a pretty slightly frosted pale pink My favorite look with these colors is Dainty on the lid with Blase a basic light cream shade as a base up to the browbone and a bit of brown eye liner Like the cheek color the shadows are sheer and blendable They can also be used wet as liner or simply to make the color a bit richer Fresh Talk Conditioning Lip Color 10 in R B I am loving this lipstick Not only is there a great selection of colors from browns to reds and everything in between even green and blue but the texture is fantastic creamy and smooth not thick or pasty If you try only one thing from this line make it the lipstick Big Deal Volumizing Lash Color 10 in Livin Large Brown When I returned to the store to exchange my blush and shadow colors I decided to pick up this mascara as well I typically wear brown or black brown even though my lashes are black because I like a subtler look but this brown is too light for me It s more of a light chocolate shade which might work well if you have lighter colored lashes The brush has densely packed short bristles that do a fair job of creating volume but again the look is subtle I may consider buying this mascara again but I would definitely get black next time The Hilfiger cosmetic line also includes nail polish 5 eye and lip liners and makeup brushes eyeshadow 10 cheek 15 powder 20 The salesperson I talked to said foundation and powder should be coming soon This is a great line for every level of makeup enthusiast Philosophy Complete Me 30 for 1 5 ounces in Warm 1 Like the La Bella Donna and Youngblood brands I ve tried before Complete Me is a high pigment mineral powder made of zinc oxide titanium dioxide bismuth oxychloride and mica that works as a concealer a foundation and a powder all in one The appeal of a product like this over traditional liquid or even talc based powder foundations is usually better coverage with a lighter feel that has less chance of irritating sensitive skin Mineral makeup does take some getting used to though You only need a very small amount to start and you have to experiment with different application methods to find the one that works best for your skin brush puff or sponge I found Complete Me to be comparable in quality to the other brands I ve tried While the formulas are almost the same I found this one to be a bit less shiny a definite plus especially for oily skin The coverage can be as sheer or as full as you make it depending on how you apply it If you use the enclosed sponge you can get full opaque coverage but beware that this technique can look heavy and masky if you aren t careful Always start with a small amount of powder and add more only if you need it I reserve using the sponge for small areas that need extra attention For a lighter look I like to apply it with a flat top powder brush using a pressing motion on the skin called stippling Complete Me comes in a shaker container so you can either shake some into the palm of your hand or onto a tissue and then dip the brush or sponge into the powder The main downside for me with all the brands I ve used is the color selection The color you see in the container is not the color you get on your skin I tested Complete Me in Warm 1 the lightest shade of the more pink toned colors and it was too dark and too pink If I got even a little carried away using a bit too much powder I had to wash my face and start over I do like what mineral makeup can do though and it is safe for those of us who are acne prone so I will continue to search for a good color You can find Complete Me at a

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT December 13 1996 Happy Friday from the Cosmetic Connection The response to last week s Cosmetic Poll was incredible Thank you to everyone who participated The question was What is your favorite brand and color of lipstick Here s a look at the top picks Number one brand MAC Runner up 2 tied between Clinique and Revlon Number one color tied between MAC Viva Glam and MAC Twig Runner up colors MAC Retro MAC Paramount Clinique Sugar Bean Clinique Black Honey L Oreal Bronze Coin Of the long wearing lipsticks Clinique s new Long Last Soft Shine and Revlon s ColorStay were the leaders The most popular color family Browns of every kind from Bobbi Brown Chocolate to Origins Matte Stick in Malt was the most mentioned color group with roses and reds not far behind If you d like to read the complete results of the poll email me at heather kleinman com and I ll forward it to you As usual I ve been trying new products like crazy My most recent is a sample of Cover Girl s new Continuous Wear foundation that I got in the mail last week The lightest shade of the three in the package Natural Ivory looked like it might work for me so I tried it Not only was the color way too pink but the coverage was thick cakey and pasty My husband took one look at me and said What did you do to your face If the texture had been better I might have considered trying a more natural color but it just looked terrible If you get a sample in the mail that s one thing but I can t recommend actually spending money on this product My product success this week came again from Aveda I had the priviledge to try hair care products from their new All Sensitive line including shampoo conditioner and styling gel This line is designed for people who have sensitive skin and scalp It is considered aroma free meaning it only smells of the plant extracts and not added fragrances Not only did I enjoy using them but my husband liked them so much he asked me if he could have them all to himself All Sensitive Shampoo If you have a tight sensitive scalp that gets itchy and easily irritated this shampoo is a welcome change that will really make it feel better My husband has suffered from a sensitive scalp for years but this shampoo really made a difference All Sensitive Conditioner This light moisturizing conditioner is good for all hair types It leaves the hair soft and manageable and it conditions and soothes the scalp All Sensitive Styling Gel Most hair gels can be irritating to someone with a sensitive scalp since the alcohol can be very drying This gel contains no alcohol and has a nice slip to it so it makes the hair very manageable without being stiff or sticky For more complete reviews of these and other Aveda hair care products

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT December 12 1997 It s 10 Challenge time again If you are new to this ultimate drugstore scavenger hunt here s how it works take 10 into a drug or discount store and see what cool products you can find Simple For our 5th installment of this Cosmetic Connection favorite I visited my local Drug Emporium store and found Almay Extra Moisturizing Under Eye Cover Cream 3 49 Wet Wild Mega Colors lipstick toasted coconut 0 89 M Professional mascara black 2 99 Revlon Velvet Touch lipstick sherry seduction 3 29 Let the testing begin Check back next week to see how they performed Wrapping up our series on drugstore shampoos the great buy this week is Pantene s gold cap series Vitamin Therapy shampoo around 4 For luxury hair care at bargain prices Pantene s gold cap products really give salon brands some healthy competition After using Vitamin Therapy for a week I love how soft and manageable my hair is I would defintely recommend this shampoo for any hair type I was less impressed with my final drugstore shampoo choice Finesse Plus 2 in 1 shampoo plus conditioner for normal hair Like many 2 in 1 s it just doesn t condition well enough so you need the extra step of a separate conditioner anyway If you have oily hair or very fine hair that doesn t need much conditioning Finess Plus is a fair choice but I d sooner recommend Suave s Healthy Shine or Pantene ProV 2 in 1 instead Both are better at conditioning and they leave the hair easy to comb and style We may be concluding our drugstore shampoo reviews but we ve only just begun on styling products This week I found a great new styling foam from Aveda called Phomollient 12 50 that is so hot the Aveda stores and salons can t keep it on the shelves Phomollient is really great for any kind of hair straight curly frizzy flat whatever For naturally curly wavy or frizzy hair Phomollient gives soft control and definition without stickiness If you like to wear your hair straight Phomollient works to smooth and condition the hair to control frizz without stiffness If you want soft moveable hair that holds the style you want look for Phomollient at your favorite Aveda lifestyle store or concept salon Around this chilly time of year normal skin can turn sensitive at the drop of a hat acting dry red itchy or just plain irritated Most of us would visit a drugstore or cosmetic counter in search of skin care designed to give relief for sensitive skin but these products labeled for sensitive skin aren t always as special as you would expect Unfortunately you often get fairly ordinary products at a premium price that just say for sensitive skin on the label Christian Dior s Icone line for hyper sensitive skin is a perfect example basic skin care with a hefty price tag touted as the solution for sensitive skin I recently tried their alcohol free toning lotion 27 50 and principe regulateur lotion 44 for hyper sensitive skin only to find they are just like any alcohol free toner and lightweight moisturizer you could buy from any line Dior has some wonderful products but these just aren t worth the money Are you a regular Cosmetic Connection reader always on the

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT December 10 1999 As I mentioned last week I am getting back to reviewing more color cosmetics and I plan to cover some hair care body care and maybe a little fragrance in the coming weeks I just bought Demeter s Pick Me Up cologne spray in Tomato and I can t wait to tell you about it If there is a product or a brand you d like to read about here or on the site email me and we can add it to our review list For this week I ve got a couple of concealer reviews and a look at a brand new line available only on the Internet Enjoy Molton Brown Cover Up 23 in Lumiere As part of my online shopping reviews I recently picked up this product from indulge com The first thing that stands out about Cover Up just how small it is a tiny 17 fluid ounces I began to wonder what my 23 was paying for After using it a few times I am both pleased and disappointed On the up side Cover Up has enough pigment to really conceal so one pump works great as concealer for undereye circles red spots etc or you can use 2 3 pumps for your whole face The look is natural light and flawless I found applying Cover Up with my fingers worked best The downside is that I had a small breakout of cosmetic acne in the spots where my skin is most vulnerable to acne forehead and chin A quick peak at the ingredient list reveals sodium chloride which has definite acne causing potential Since I do like the texture and coverage of Cover Up I ve decided to keep it and use it just for undereye circles and as an eyeshadow base and stick to safer makeup for the rest of my face T LeClerc Concealer 19 I seem to have a thing for foundation and concealer lately After having a good experience with the LeClerc powder except I m still not 100 satisfied with Banane as the right color for my skin I was looking forward to trying their concealer in 03 Beige Again just like the Molton Brown product I had a really mixed experience This concealer also covers well has a nice creamy feel and has an easy to use wand applicator You also need VERY little so one tube should last a long time Unfortunately it also has a rather comedogenic acne causing ingredient isocetyl stearate as the third ingredient after water and titanium dioxide If you are at all acne prone this could definitely give you some trouble if you use it to conceal blemishes As an undereye concealer however it is very nice and will be joining my Molton Brown Cover Up in the undereye concealer area of my makeup organizer Femme Cosmetics The Internet has really opened up a world of opportunity for anyone interested in the beauty biz allowing more people with a dream to start their own brands and sell them online Femme Cosmetics is a new kid on the block and I think is worth looking at for reasonably priced cosmetics Natural Finish Flawless Foundation 15 in nude If you are looking for a natural looking liquid makeup with medium slightly matte coverage good for any skin type this is a nice choice The color I got is a decent match for my fair skin not too yellow not too pink I also checked the ingredients for red flags like possible acne aggrevators and it came up clear Blush 10 50 in moonlit mauve This color was a bit warmer than I expected so on my already rosy cheeks it looked a little off I think next time I would choose delicious instead This is a basic powder blush with a soft finish and good wearability Shadows 10 50 in palest peach smoke woodland Like the blush these are basic shadows that are soft and wearable which can be both positive and negative The colors are sheer and blendable so it s hard to make a mistake but the lack of dense pigment makes them fade faster than a brand like Bobbi Brown or Christian Dior For an everyday look these shadows are fine but I would choose something with more pigment to use as powder liner or for a more dramatic look Lipstick 10 in tribal and irresistible Femme has done a great job with these lipsticks The texture is creamy and smooth with a nice lightweight feel that seems to sink into the lips so the look is almost like your lips are naturally that color Although there are only 12 colors I lucked out with tribal a cool berry shade and irresistible a MAC Twig style brownish pink These and the foundation were my favorite cosmetics of the line Mascara 9 This mascara does a great job of defining the lashes without clumping or depositing little blobs on the ends of the lashes It gives a soft natural look and doesn t flake or smear The Little Black Book organizer 30 I may be The Makeup Diva but sometimes I still have a hard time spending a lot of money on something I just don t think I will use I have felt like this about the very popular makeup organizer planner from Trish McEvoy even though the idea is great I can t justify spending for the planner and all the pages and then the product to put inside Too much This one from Femme is more my speed It s the size of a Daytimer organizer zips completely closed comes with a zippered pouch page that velcros into the organizer and has pockets inside to hold up to 30 makeup brushes and plenty of cosmetics sponges puffs and anything else you might need At just 30 it s a steal This is my favorite item from the line You can learn more about Femme cosmetics at their new site at femmecosmetics com SHOP Get what you need plus save time and

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT December 5 1997 One down and a few more to go Thanksgiving may be over but the holiday season has only just begun To ensure that you give to yourself as well as others this season Philosophy has introduced a great albeit overpriced aromatherapy self help kit called The Rainbow Connection For an extravagant 125 you can get in touch with your inner self with this collection of 7 rainbow colored aromatherapy bath oils a reflection journal and a deck of meditation cards that can help you achieve more balance in your life I m always the skeptic but this time I jumped right in and let The Rainbow Connection lead me Following the journal s directions I shuffled the deck of 28 color coded cards selected the one that best expressed an issue I was dealing with like security faith or balance answered questions in the journal about my feelings and finally took a color coordinated bath as part of the aromatherapy experience After each bath and journal writing I tried it several times I really did feel more centered and able to face my day with a better perspective on things If you can follow the steps wholeheartedly The Rainbow Connection is a creative and thoughtful way to better get in touch with yourself and your life For the aromatherapy or self help enthusiast in your life this makes a very nice holiday gift With so many drugstore shampoos available it may take me months to try them all Our series continues this week with a few shampoos and conditioners from Redmond s Aussie line all around 4 Citrifier Shampoo a good choice once a week to remove styling buildup Because it is so effective at deep cleansing dry hair will need extra conditioning to replace lost moisture For dry hair I like Origins No Deposit shampoo better for more gently removing styling buildup Moist Shampoo designed for dry hair but really better for normal hair You ll get better results adding moisture to your hair with a conditioner not a shampoo Instant Conditioner a great everyday choice for every hair type It leaves your hair feeling soft silky and smooth 3 Minute Miracle a nice deep conditioning treatment for any hair type use a few times a week if you have dry hair For more information on Aussie products check out the Aussie website Next week we ll have even more shampoo reviews including Finesse Plus 2 in 1 and one from the Pantene Gold Cap series If I had to choose the one cosmetic product that can do the most for your looks it would be foundation With so many shades and formulas to choose from the chances of finding one that s right for you are almost guaranteed For those of us who like quick simplified makeup the two new stick foundations from Prescriptives Exact Matchstick 35 and Estee Lauder Minute Makeup 27 50 are worth considering They are easy to apply and be used all over or just as concealer After trying both I really like Prescriptives Exact Matchstick the best for its incredibly light and silky texture combined with soft sheer to medium coverage that doesn t look or feel at all like makeup Matchstick is oil free great for any skin type and it comes in a decent range of Prescriptives most popular colors For those of you who like a creamier makeup with a bit more coverage Estee Lauder s Minute Makeup is a nice choice that feels moist and emollient more like a traditional stick makeup The color range is a bit better than Prescriptives but the texture wouldn t work as well for an oily skin type Are you a regular Cosmetic Connection reader always on the lookout for new reviews Maybe you stop by every

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT December 3 1999 I ve been a little heavy on the skin care reviews lately so this week I am switching my focus to makeup With all the shopping I ve been doing lately for my updated online store reviews see below I ve got a new collection of makeup just begging to be reviewed Three Custom Color Specialists Jungle icious Lipgloss 15 Before beautyjungle com fully launched they were giving away free beauty bags full of goodies on a first come first serve basis This lipgloss color from 3C was created exclusively for beautyjungle and what a color it is sheer red and highly wearable It comes in their signature swing out pot and has a smooth creamy feel with just the right amount of shine I love red lipcolor so this is a keeper for me You can learn more about Jungle icious at beautyjungle com philosophy supernatural lash darkener 15 Also included in the beautyjungle com bag was this mascara from philosophy It has all the benefits of regular mascara darkens and defines lashes but it does not clump or flake The thinner gel texture lightly coats the lashes but since there are no fibers you won t get those annoying mascara blobs You can find supernatural lash darkener at philosophy counters or online at beautyjungle com eve com ibeauty com and philosophy com Tony Tina Frequency Eye Shadow 18 I picked up this shimmer shadow duo in Romance Happiness light pink and light brown from indulge com These shadows are touted for their vitamins and botanicals that are supposed to make you look awake and refreshed but please don t believe all that They are simply nice shadows that last well through the day and come in a nice selection of colors from neutral to vibrant I had a little creasing by the end of the day 7 8pm and a fair amount of fading so if I were to go out at night I would retouch Tony Tina Nail Color 10 I run hot and cold with nail polish sometimes I use it every week then not again for months so when I decided to paint my nails recently and found most of my bottles were old and goopy I was glad to have a new bottle of Sociable a pretty light pearl pink from my eve com Hanukkah gift set This color is stunning and has a very shiny finish You also get the color that you see in the bottle with just one coat I do not mind spending 10 a bottle for this L Oreal Colour Endure Light Stay On Makeup I have been searching for a foundation that would look natural have decent but not full coverage be at least somewhat transfer resistant not aggravate my hormonal acne tendencies but also work well on my normal to dry skin Pretty tall order eh Well I think I have found a serious contender Apparently L Oreal did some reformulating and repackaging so this new Light version is smoother than the previous version I bought a bottle in Soft Ivory and have been very happy with the coverage and feel It is also safe for acne sufferers At around 10 at drugstores and supermarkets this is worth a look if you are searching for something new New Feature for December Online Shopping Reviews UPDATED The feedback from this summer s online shopping reviews was so positive and quite a few new sites have gone live since then that I decided to do an update We ve got reviews of beautyjungle beautyscene gloss indulge and sephora for starters with beauty com ibeauty neimanmarcus com and reflect to be added on the 15th Winner of the Cosmetic Connection Trivia Contest Thanks to everyone who entered last week s trivia contest to win the eve com Hanukkah gift set Our winner Nina C from Seattle Washington was the first person to

month after a great suggestion from a reader I bring you Get Your Money s Worth a complete guide to successfully return products you don t like Learn how to stand up for your rights as a cosmetics consumer Read all about it at http www kleinman com cosmetic feature html Although I almost always enjoy getting samples some counters are more fun than others This week I had a particularly good experience at Clarins I still can t believe how many samples the salesperson insisted that I take Here are a few of the products I tried Extra Comfort Cleansing Cream Toning Lotion for dry skin Hydration Plus Moisture Lotion Hydrating Mask All of these products were recommended to me for sensitive skin but most would really be good for almost any skin type You ll find full reviews of these and many more Clarins products in the coming weeks at http www kleinman com cosmetic clarins html In other product news I played with Eye Bright this week from BeneFit and I m still not 100 convinced of its usefulness This lipstick shaped pink stick is supposed to make your eyes look brighter by acting as a touch up concealer for dark circles While the lipstick type package is certainly handy to carry in a purse or pocket I didn t see amazing results when I used it Rather than covering dark circles or spots like a flesh colored concealer would Eye Bright s light pink to white color draws the light to your face which can actually emphasize the areas you re trying to cover Paying 13 for a product that emphasizes dark circles is not my idea of a good beauty investment Another interesting product that I had the distinct pleasure of trying this week was MAC s new Lipglass If you are looking for an ultra high shine lip this gloss does the trick For 9 a tube your lips can have that shiny new car finish The texture is a bit tacky at first but it s also so thick that it offers a nice barrier to the winter elements like cold and wind It s not moisturizing at all but if you want a very glossy look Lipglass definitely delivers After receiving some great feedback and suggestions from readers I am pleased to announce an open call for participation in a new feature the Cosmetic

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT November 29 1996 This week I am pleased to bring you my full report on my day of beauty with Make Up For Ever Enjoy A few weeks ago I was invited to spend the afternoon with a regional makeup artist for Make Up For Ever learning about what they do and of course playing with all those outrageous colors The Skin Care Make Up For Ever s focus is on color so their skin care is a bit of an after thought It has a basic cleanser and moisturizer as well as a unique cleansing oil designed to remove all traces of makeup completely without water The oil feels unusual if you are used to traditional cleansers but it is great for dry skin or if you want to change all of your makeup without washing your face The Makeup The first step if necessary before foundation is Make Up For Ever s color correcting makeup base A variety of lines have these red green and blue pre foundations that are supposed to mask skin flaws like redness dark circles and sallow skin I personally wouldn t pay money for this type of product especially 19 for one ounce Unless you have scarring or discolorations other than a basic pimple a simple foundation and or concealer should do the trick Make Up For Ever has several foundation formulas to choose from standard liquid stick and an all over face and body makeup I was treated to the face and body version in color 2 It delivers very nice coverage but with a thin easy to blend texture At 57 for a large 5 ounce bottle this makeup would be great for someone who either really likes the color and texture or who has several areas of both the face and body that require makeup One side effect is that the face and body makeup is highly water resistant so it does take some work to wash it off After foundation Make Up For Ever has a nice selection of loose powder that has to be the silkiest I have ever felt The colors are yellow based and the formula is water resistant which could be handy for those of us living in especially rainy parts of the world It is a bit spendy at 27 for just over an ounce but if you love the smooth texture as much as I did it could be a nice treat The Colors When I think Make Up For Ever I always think color With over 100 eye shadow and blush colors in everything from basic beige to the wildest chartreuse it is highly unlikely you won t find a color you like here Even the brightest purple or blue can be applied as light or as heavy as necessary to suit any complexion I was decorated in a variety of shades of purple that looked fun without being gaudy Of all the colors at Make Up For Ever the Star Powders are my favorite These tiny pots of sparkly loose powder can be used on eyes cheeks lips or anywhere you want some shine Here are a few of my favorites listed by color number 900 a silvery white 901 whitish purple 902 light gold 918 dark copper 919 dark mauve purple 922 coppery orange I experimented with the Star Powders as eye shadow brow color and eye liner both wet and dry all of which made for a very fun makeup look that s great for going out or for a special occassion The Brushes Just like every department store line these days Make Up For Ever has a huge assortment of professional makeup brushes for applying everything from loose powder to undereye concealer If you are looking for a particular brush for a particular makeup task these brushes are worth checking out I added the 16 eye liner brush to my collection since it was the first I had seen that was very thin and soft not wide and stiff like most others This thin style I think is better for drawing one fine line with wet eye shadow or cake liner The Final Look I must say that while my finished Make Up For Ever look was a bit more colorful than I am used to it was very fun and youthful If you enjoy cosmetics and playing with different colors Make Up For Ever is definitely worth a visit Their prices are in line with most other high end department store lines so spend wisely to get the most for your money If you want to try one thing that really represents what s different about Make Up For Ever my pic is the Star Powders Thank you to Make Up For Ever for the invitation to experience their unique line of products SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics SPONSOR

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT November 28 1997 This will come as no surprise to any of you but I feel the need to share anyway I love cosmetics Even better I love the feeling of walking into a department store and discovering a new line This week on a routine shopping trip to my local Nordstrom I stumbled upon our brand new Decleor botanical skin and body care counter Much like Clarins Decleor is a French line that incorporates the concept of aromatherapy through plant oils in all their products Naturally I was curious so I purchased a travel sized kit 36 for normal skin to see what Decleor could really do Here s what I found Velvet Cleansing Milk If you like lotion cleansers and you have more normal to dry or dry skin you ll like this one It removes makeup well rinses away easily and leaves the skin feeling soft and supple and it smells nice I would definitely buy this in the full size 24 for 8 4 ounces Lotion Tonique Demo Florale toner This is a fairly standard alcohol free toner chock full of botanicals like corn poppy extract mallow extract and sage extract fine for any skin type Aromessence Visage Neroli for normal skin Decleor s entire philosophy about skin care revolves around these aromessence oils which are supposed to penetrate into your skin to do everything from moisturize to regulate oil production Basically whichever of the four aromessence oils you choose you are still putting a mixture of plant oils on your skin Can they really program your skin to act a certain way I seriously doubt it but if you have dry skin that is not prone to breakouts they do feel nice and can relieve dryness and flakiness For oily skin it s hard to get past the notion that adding more oil to your skin is somehow supposed to help Soin du Matin Day Hydrating Cream This is a pretty basic cream for normal or normal to dry skin that unfortunately lacks any kind of sun protection making it a poor choice for daytime wear The texture is nice but I d have a hard time spending 30 for a day cream with no sunscreen Soin du Soir Soothing Night Cream Again this is an ordinary cream for normal or normal to dry skin Additional plant oils make it only slightly more moisturizing than the day cream so for dry skin you ll probably need something more emollient like their Hydratation Vitale All in all I liked testing these Decleor products but considering that many of them are fairly basic it s difficult to justify spending upwards of 30 40 and higher Decleor is good about sampling however so you can see for yourself if they work for you In our continuing look at drugstore hair care products this week I tried the brand new line from M Professionals a popular drugstore makeup line that rivals colors and formulas from department store brands Called simply M Hair the line consists of Just Shampoo and Just Conditioner for normal hair Abuse Shampoo and Abuse Conditioner for dry damaged hair and a selection of styling gels all priced around 5 For my freshly colored hair I went with the Abuse duo and found they worked fairly well The shampoo unfortunately left my hair rather tangled but the conditioner made up for it leaving my hair soft and manageable If you are looking for basic no frills hair care M Hair does the job for a reasonable price Are you a lipstick lover like me If so you ll love the new holiday lipstick compacts from Aveda 32 You get four gorgeous shades in your choice of warm or cool colors all packaged in Aveda s updated sleek and slim environmental refillable compact The cool compact my personal

All of these new but limited shades are currently available at an Estee Lauder counter near you Coming later in December Estee Lauder will also feature another new collection called Party Eyes stay tuned for details Although I normally think of most skin being dry and flaky in the winter I know there are plenty of you who live with oily skin all year long With this in mind I enlisted our Panelist Kiki who has oily skin to help me test a couple of cleansers for oily skin From Steven Miller Skin Care Kiki tried two versions of his private label cleanser Mint Souffle is for oily or combination skin types while the Camphor Souffle is for oily and blemished skin Kiki had this to say about them Both cleansers smell terrific and left my skin feeling very clean and refreshed without feeling tight and dry They did a great job of removing makeup and oil While I normally prefer a very sudsy bubbling cleanser both of these do have a substantial lathering effect that completely blankets and penetrates your skin I used both products over a year period and still continue to use them I ve noticed that on some days these cleansers feel strong especially in the winter which in California where I live means dry and 55 degrees As a result I usually use these cleansers at night and use another cleanser for normal skin in the mornings In the summer or if I m traveling to a humid area I ll definitely use Camphor Souffle twice a day I was curious about these products myself so a few months ago before the weather got cold and nasty I decided to try the Camphor Souffle 29 for 4 ounce jar myself It is very cool and refreshing great in the shower but I found the camphor is pretty strong unless you have truly oily skin This one is not necessarily for me but for oily skin it s a nice choice Back several months ago while testing a variety of BeneFit skin care I picked up a jar of their Fantasy Mint Wash 24 for 4 ounce jar and recently realized that it is almost identical to Steven Miller s Mint Souffle If you ve ever wondered if all the cosmetic companies buy from the same source and just put their own name on the jar I d say this is interesting evidence Fantasy Mint Wash has the same texture and foaming action cleans just as well and feels cool and refreshing on the skin The minty plant oils and fragrances can be irritating to sensitive skin but for the oily skin types that it s designed for the minty tingle is great in the shower or after a long tiring day Again this is a nice cleanser that isn t for us dry and sensitive types but great for oily

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT November 22 1996 Happy Friday from the Cosmetic Connection As usual I have been trying new products like crazy This week I d like to talk about Origins new Night a Mins vitamin cream Aveda s Purefume Brilliant Forming Gel and a few of my great H2O bargains from Marshall s I am always drawn to the inviting colors and fragrances at the Origins counter Every year they have some great gift baskets and sets for the holidays that never fail to catch my eye This year s selection of candles potpourri aromatherapy products and bath salts are so tempting While trying to decide on some gifts I couldn t help but notice ready made samples behind the counter of their new Night a Mins vitamin cream The woman at the counter was most generous and gave me a few to take home She told me that it contains just about every vitamin you can think of A C E and K to name a few and ingredients that are supposed to help you sleep so it should be applied only at night Makes sense That night and for three nights after I put the stuff on about a half an hour before going to sleep I can t say it made me sleepy but it sure did smell heavenly The texture is light but nicely moisturizing which would be good for normal to dry or dry skin I also found I could use a little more in drier areas for an extra boost without it being too heavy The only downside for me is that it costs 27 50 for a few ounces Maybe I could put it on my holiday wish list grin If there is one line that I am loyal to it is Aveda When I found that my favorite Confixor gel wasn t leaving my hair quite as nice as it had before I began to worry Thankfully my stylist reassured me that it is only the change in the weather the alcohol in the Confixor was making my winter dry hair even drier The solution I switched to their alcohol free Forming Gel It gives nice control and softness without being drying or sticky I am pleased to report that my hair and I are much happier now Last week I mentioned that I had gotten some great deals on H2O products at my local Marshall s discount store By the way H2O is a boutique style store found in shopping malls It is comparable to stores like The Body Shop Bath Body Works or Garden Botanika Here s the skinny on what I got and how it lived up to my tests Alcohol Free Toner At first I really liked this toner Then my skin started to flake Badly If you have normal to dry dry or very dry skin you may have the same reaction I did so I wouldn t recommend running out to try it Those of you with combination normal to oily or oily skin are in luck especially if you can find it for the incredible 1 99 that I paid I m not sure exactly what ingredient s made my skin so flaky but for now I m saving the rest for next summer Facial Scrub I bought this scrub for my husband and couldn t resist trying it myself The tiny scrub beads are nice and gentle but the base of TEA lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate two fairly standard detergent cleansing ingredients made it just a bit too strong for my normal to dry skin If you are more combination normal to oily or oily this scrub is a steal at just 2 99 HydraSpa Daily Moisturizer SPF 15 I m always looking for a good SPF 15 lotion that looks natural not white and wears well under makeup If you have combination normal to oily or oily skin and you can find it for under 5 like I did I d say give HydraSpa a try It is a nice light lotion that goes on white at first but soaks in to leave a nice natural looking matte finish If you haven t signed the Cosmetic Connection Guestbook

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT November 21 1997 I am officially obsessed with my hair Our latest review series on drugstore shampoos has me on a wild goose chase for the ultimate in low cost high quality shampoo This week I was tempted by Suave s TV advertisements for their new Healthy Shine 2 in 1 shampoo plus conditioner around 2 so I indulged in a bottle for normal hair I ve never been a big fan of 2 in 1 shampoos because they either don t clean very well or they don t condition enough but I like this one It left my hair clean conditioned soft and manageable what more could you need I could definitely see buying this again Next week you ll love my review of a shampoo and conditioner from M Professional s new line of hair care Like their straightforward approach with makeup M Professional s hair care products are basic no frills and deliver what they promise My hair preoccupation doesn t end with shampoo After experimenting last winter with L Oreal Castings semi permanent hair color in Wheat to brighten up my drab medium blonde hair I decided this season to fulfill a dream of mine and go red Well strawberry blonde to be exact My first dabble in red was with L Oreal s fool proof 7 day foam Exuberance in D Peach around 7 For great looking and vibrant color you just foam it in and rinse it out Since it contains no ammonia or peroxide it can t lighten or drastically change your color what it will do is give your hair a color boost with no commitment If you want to have a little fun with your hair this is a great way to try something new Well I didn t want to stop being a redhead after just 7 days so I took the 4 6 week plunge with Clairol Natural Instincts around 8 in 08 Apricot As with any hair color Natural Instincts involves wearing plastic gloves mixing the color and applying it to your hair without getting it all over the bathroom good luck After letting it cook for 10 minutes it was time to rinse I was really impressed with how soft my hair felt even before I applied the deep conditioner then the conditioner made it like silk If you are interested in coloring your hair check out the selection of colors in Natural Instincts I would definitely color my hair with it again I get quite a few requests for reviews of botanical and natural products so this week I decided to try a few products from drugstore brand Naturistics Here s what I thought Naturally Flawless creme powder makeup around 5 I really like the feel of this makeup and I found a color that worked well for me My only gripe the creme never turned to a powder Every time I tried it I had to follow up with loose powder or I looked too shiny and I have dry skin For those of us with dry skin this is a nice product as long as you use powder on top If you have even slightly oily skin this cream will feel much too emollient and moist Long Shot lengthening mascara around 5 Most drugstore mascaras I ve tried work well without clumping or smearing but not this one The mascara is very wet some are more like a gel and the tube doesn t seem to clean the brush off at all so you get a very thick wet and goopy layer of mascara every time Yuck Longer Wear Lipcolor with SPF 20 in Cranberry Creme around 5 Of all the three Naturistics products I tested I liked this lipstick the best The staying power of the color is amazing With a few dozen shades to choose from I highly recommend this lipstick if you like the longer wearing formulas Overall I don t think Naturistics products are any better just because they contain a few plant extracts Natural and botanical doesn t always mean better For all your winter skin care needs don t miss November s Feature Winterize Your Skin for all the tips and product recommendations you ll need to stay gorgeous all winter

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT November 20 1998 My first item of business this week is to say Thanks I really appreciate all the email you ve been sending asking about my pregnancy and wishing me well Things are going great and we are entering the home stretch with the due date 12 18 quickly approaching at just 4 weeks away Needless to say my husband Geoff and I are very excited As I enter this last month of pregnancy I am still planning on bringing you The Cosmetic Report every week that I am able I have enlisted several of our devoted Product Panelists to assist me should the need arise so in the coming months you ll benefit from a variety of opinions and expertise in the report We have some great reviews planned so I hope you enjoy it Now on to this week s issue We re already well into the middle of November with Thanksgiving right around the corner so I know many of you are starting your holiday shopping and wondering what to get for everyone on your list For the cosmetic enthusiast in your life even if that person is you Profaces maker of those great makeup palettes that I reviewed a few weeks ago has the perfect kit for giving to that someone special The 12 Color Brush Kit 169 95 has practically everything you need to do your makeup You get 12 mix and match colors that work great on all skin tones 9 compact brushes to apply everything like a pro and a 4 color travel compact with a velour pouch case Just like Profaces other kits all the colors are classic neutral and highly wearable by anyone The 12 color kit is a great mix of neutral beiges and browns combined with some kicky pinks and peaches all of which you can wear on eyes cheeks and brows The colors are packaged in a larger deeper box with trays rather than the more streamlined 10 and 15 color kits making it perfect for a vanity or bathroom counter see the photo on the product page at Profaces mentioned below This is another winner in my book FYI You can also get the 12 color kit with the brushes but without the 4 color compact for 149 95 For more information and swatches of the kit s colors visit the Profaces products page I get quite a few requests for information on the French skin care line Sothys so I decided recently to investigate a few of their products During a short break from my testing of Epicuren Discovery see my review I had a chance to try Sothys Desquacreme Deep Pore Cleanser and Purifying Skin Lotion Desquacreme is like nothing else I ve tried It s not a regular cleanser not a scrub and not really a mask Sothys claims that due to its high content of lipo amino acid salts Desquacreme improves and regulates sebaceous secretions and clarifies the complexion by removing keratinic and cosmetic impurities that accumulate on the skin s surface Huh In plain English basically they are saying that it will reduce the amount of oil your skin produces and clean the surface of the skin of cell build up in the pores I doubt it will affect how oily your skin is over time but it does a really nice job of deep cleaning the skin After using it a few times my skin looked fresh and felt smooth a bit like after having a facial It s a bit spendy at 32 a tube but you only need a pea sized amount for your whole face If you love that fresh from the salon feeling but can t get it as often as you d like Desquacreme is a nice choice for at home treatment For the skin type it s indicated for oily skin with blemish problems Sothys Purifying Skin Lotion could be an okay toner It is alcohol free always a plus and has rosemary sage and camphor that might benefit someone whose skin responds well to plant oils however if you have sensitive skin or any irritated blemishes this toner could make your condition worse Plant oils like these can be too active and make blemishes more inflamed While the toner isn t particularly harsh you can definitely feel the astringent properties of the oils on the skin making it an acceptable choice for someone with fairly tough skin I m just not one of those people For more information visit the Sothys website You can also find a selection of Sothys products at the Steven Miller Skin Care site where

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT November 19 1999 With the weather changing temperatures cooling down and the wind picking up a bit my skin always suffers through change of season blemishes and flakiness I ve been experimenting with a few new products lately to get things under control and as usual some are winners and some are duds Read on Joey New York Pure Pores blackhead remover 10 for one ounce Since Joey NY came out with this original Pure Pores product the line has expanded to include a cleanser toner and several other treatment products I hope they are better than this one At first I thought it was just human error something I was doing or was not doing was causing it to not work After half a dozen tries I think the product is just a dud I cannot get it to dry successfully every time and the times that it does dry it does not remove even one blackhead It s just a goopy mess definitely not a product I would recommend Joey New York products are sold at a few online stores including http www eve com beautyjungle com http www beautyscene com http www sephora com Biore Warming Deep Pore Cleanser Since I like Biore s two self heating masks so well I had high hopes for this cleanser It did not live up to or even approach my expectations The texture is thick and gooey the warming sensation is sometimes almost hot ouch and it just doesn t do anything in terms of cleaning It does not remove makeup well and my skin just didn t feel clean afterwards Another dud You can learn more about Biore products at http www biore com Sage At Home Peel 75 for 2oz about 40 50 peels When I first got this product I was a little nervous about using it The thought of peeling my skin made me squeamish but since I already use AHAs and BHAs how bad could it be Thankfully my experience was fantastic Basically this is a high powered chemical exfoliant that you apply to damp skin leave on for a maximum of four minutes then rinse away It contains 30 glycolic acid AHA 2 salicylic acid BHA 2 vitamin C and 2 hyalauronic acid in an aloe vera gel and alcohol base The alcohol evaporates quickly so it doesn t dry or irritate the skin It is safe to use every 5 7 days personally I like using it once a week usually on Sunday so my face feels fresh and renewed for Monday This does for my skin what few AHA lotions have been able to do make the bumpy areas of my face truly smooth Also the salicylic acid gets down into the pores to clear out the dead cells that help cause blemishes so I get fewer breakouts I have used the peel 5 times and have noticed fewer pimples and an overall smoother texture I am hoping with continued use it will reduce some of the blotchiness still lingering on my cheeks I ll let you know You can find Sage products at http zerozits com Neutrogena Pore Refining Cream 13 99 Neutrogena has such a wide selection of skin care products many of which are very good Extra Gentle Cleanser the Healthy Skin line so I really wanted to like this new AHA plus retinol cream I wish I could say I did My experience with it did not start out very well The first night I tried to use it the cream would simply not come out of the tube When I squeezed firmly about half of the tube came flying out I tried to get it back into the tube but I ended up washing most of it down the sink Over the few weeks that I used Pore Refining Cream I noticed no positive changes whatsoever My skin felt greasy and clogged most of the time and I developed blackheads in areas I normally don t like on my cheeks I think if you are looking for a product to help keep your skin free of blemishes a straight AHA or BHA would probably be more effective This cream did nothing for me You can learn more about Neutrogena products at http www neutrogena com Product

is your guide to choosing the best routine for your skin Basic skin care doesn t have to be rocket science By learning what your skin needs you can choose products that will make it happy I seem to come across cool products everywhere I go especially when I m not even looking On an errand at the discount store Marshall s I discovered a great selection of H2O products for incredibly cheap Would you believe alcohol free toner for 1 99 and facial scrub for 2 99 If you re an H2O fan like I am check out your local discount stores for these fantastic bargains With the chilly autumn weather settled in and winter wind and snow just around the corner my favorite face saver product for this time of year is a moisturizing treatment mask I think a good one has to be both moisturizing and soothing so I was delighted to find that the Body Shop Intense Moisture Mask I got in a GWP a few months ago really did the job The gel formula takes just five minutes to work its magic and it doesn t leave a greasy film on your face I admit I am biased when it comes to hair care products Aveda is my favorite and I am pretty loyal This week I was intrigued by a hair care product from Philosophy called Let s Get Something Straight Catchy name but would it really made my wavy hair straighter If I had my old hair style long and curly it might have been a fine product but it only made my short style wavier To get this product to work you really need to blowdry your hair straight by using a brush but doesn t that miss the point Isn t that what anyone with wavy or curly hair has to do anyway

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT November 14 1997 HUGE NEWS FLASH The Cosmetic Connection Personal Shopper Service is now offering Stila Cosmetics If you are running out of your favorite Stila shades don t fret Email me today and you can have your favorite blush lipstick or eye shadow delivered to your door Sorry there is no Stila catalog so you have to know what colors and products you are looking for This week we begin our series on drugstore shampoos with a few great choices from Willow Lake a newcomer in the ever growing botanical product category My favorite thing about Willow Lake shampoos besides the fact that they work great and are delightfully inexpensive is the short yet effective list of ingredients Lavender Mint for dry hair Cherry Bark Irish Moss conditioning formula and Citrus Rosemary for normal hair all have gentle cleansing agents and botanical extracts that I have found work just as well or better than many higher priced salon shampoos They leave your hair clean soft and manageable all at a very reasonable 3 a bottle As promised last week I bring you reviews of a few Lancome products I picked up during my recent vacation in the Caribbean You can also find information on these and other Lancome products on their newly redesigned website located at http www lancome com Expressive Eye Contour Age Treatment If I ve said it once I ve said it a thousand times eye creams are only moisturizers for the eye area they are not wrinkle erasers This one is no different and does a fine job of moisturizing the eye area I like it for the convenient and sanitary pump dispenser and for the cream gel consistency that lightly moisturizes makes the eye area look smooth and fights puffiness all in one pump It is also fragrance free and perfect for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers I use it around my entire eye even right up against the lashes with no burning sensation or irritation at all Galateis Fluid Cleanser for the face and eyes Much like Galatee Douceur sold here in the States Galateis is a milky cleanser with plant oils that cuts through makeup in a snap It s a bit thinner than Galatee Douceur making it more appropriate for all skin types not just dry skin My only gripe is the incredibly strong perfume y fragrance It just about bowled me over For the past few months I have received several email requests for information on a product called Fast Lash a lash thickener that claims to give a false eyelash effect in seconds Featured in several women s magazines Fast Lash 14 has been popping up in stores around the country finally arriving at my local Nordstrom just recently I couldn t wait to try it Imagine my disappointment when I discovered it is simply a tube of powdery polyester fibers To make your lashes look longer you brush the Fast Lash fibers over freshly applied wet mascara then apply more mascara repeating the process until you get the look you want It does work but if you have sensitive eyes or wear contact lenses it s not worth the risk of getting these fibers in your eyes Ouch The season of celebration and gift giving is fast approaching and so is the season of confusion What do you get for the person who has everything This year consider something fun and different for the bath lovers in your life with Philosophy s new Holiday Blues aromatherapy bath and shower gel

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT November 13 1998 You ve seen the ads from L Oreal Lancome and now Maybelline for their curling mascaras and I know you ve wondered do they really work When L Oreal first introduced Le Grand Curl see my review I was skeptical but definitely curious Much to my surprise there is a small and I do mean small degree of truth in the curling claim You won t see the lashes magically jump into a curled position all by themselves but the mascara does contain a setting ingredient that can lock a curve in place almost like a hairspray When you apply the mascara start from the lash base brush the color all the way to the tips and hold the wand in place for a few seconds It will set into that curled position and stay that way until you remove it Clever but not magic For more than just the curling I like Le Grand Curl because it doesn t clump or smear and it defines the lashes naturally for a full wide eyed look This curling technology was then duplicated for L Oreal s sister company Lancome both owned by Cosmair for their version Extencils 18 It is practically identical to Le Grand Curl making it almost insane to spend three times as much for the same product There is really no difference Now Maybelline has introduced Wonder Curl around 5 in drugstores It comes as no surprise that they ve created their own version considering that Maybelline is also part of the L Oreal group of companies Wonder Curl is a bit different from Le Grand Curl but the curling effect is basically the same Wonder Curl has a curved brush instead of straight I like the straight brush for better control and the formula is a bit thicker which means more chances for clumps but also better coverage in just one coat All in all I still like Le Grand Curl the best with Wonder Curl in second place and Extencils last simply because it s unnecessarily expensive After a few weeks off from reviewing foundations I am pleased to revive the series with a review of Stila s new Illuminating Powder Foundation with SPF 12 22 for the foundation itself plus 20 for the silver Stila girl refillable compact It comes in 8 colors named from lightest to darkest according to wattage 10 watts is the lightest then 20 30 40 and so on up to 70 It s clever and fits with the product name illuminating but it would have been nice to have the same color names as the rest of their foundations a b c d Oh well After using this foundation for about a week and a half I still have mixed feelings about it It is similar to a few other powder foundations I ve tried like MAC Studio Fix Aveda Dual Performance Creme Powder now called Dual Base minus Oil and Prescriptives Instant Face recently discontinued here s how The texture is more silky rather than overly dry like Aveda The coverage is light to medium like Prescriptives The look is matte but not overly powdery like MAC Overall Illuminating Powder delivers light coverage with a smooth finish that works best for someone with not too oily not too dry skin and few imperfections to hide It doesn t need to be set with any other powder but if you are oily at all you may need to touch up with some blotting powder or tissues as the day wears on the foundation is not oil free Dry skin might not like the matte finish and it does make any flaky areas stand out This is truly a normal skin product and since my skin is anything but normal I doubt I would use it again For more information about Stila cosmetics you can contact the company in Los Angeles at 1 800 833 0400 Looking for a particular review or curious

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT November 12 1999 I have been curious about Shu Uemura skincare for quite some time and finally decided recently to pick up a skincare starter kit and a few other goodies from beauty scene The kit is 35 and comes with 1 6 ounce travel sizes of two cleansers two toners and two moisturizers these are 5 ounce tubes Cleansing Beauty Oil Balancer for dry skin 40 for 8 4 ounces This cleansing oil contains mineral oil corn oil safflower oil jojoba oil and macadamia nut oil which makes it great for removing makeup but I basically felt like I was putting cooking oil on my face It also contains wine yeast extract which is actually in all of these products and I figured out after about a week that this ingredient was irritating my skin I noticed it most prominently in the toners the skin around my nose and near my eyes would burn and sting It was so painful near my eyes that even the creams I applied to soothe it made the stinging worse Cleansing Beauty Oil Refresher for oily skin 40 for 8 4 ounces I really noticed no difference in performance between this oil and the Balancer version It is not quite as rich it does not have corn or safflower oil but I still had the same terrible stinging problem Both oils do a great job of removing makeup but both also leave a filmy feeling on the skin as if it just did not rinse completely I have a hard time seeing the appeal of either of these Hydrating Lotion for dry skin and Refreshing Lotion for oily skin 35 for 8 4 ounces These toners were the unfortunate source of most of my discomfort Every time I used either one my skin got red felt really warm and burned and stung near my eyes I was shocked when I noticed the skin under my eyes was actually a bit raw These two toners are very similar both have wine yeast extract and I really hope this is not the typical experience with them based on my skin s reaction I have trouble recommending either one Absolute Cream for dry skin 40 for one ounce This is a fairly basic cream for normal to slightly dry skin It contains macadamia oil jojoba oil and quite a few thickeners and the dreaded wine yeast extract I did not dislike it nor was I particularly enamored with it it s just rather plain I would much rather spend 40 on something special and get a basic cream like this at the drugstore Hydrating Fluid for oily skin 40 for 1 6 ounces This lotion is very similar to the Absolute Cream although without the jojoba oil and several of the added emollients it s not quite as rich This is a more fluid lightweight moisturizer that I also have a hard time recommending For what you are paying I expected more Nobara Cream Foundation 19 50 in 754 Beige 4B Several people who are foundation enthusiasts like me have raved about this makeup as both a foundation and a concealer I knew I was taking a chance ordering it online having never seen the colors but I figured what the heck I can always return it Unfortunately that s exactly what happened I thought 754 Beige 4B looked like the lightest shade but when my package arrived and I tried the makeup on I looked like I had a serious mishap with way too much bronzer None of the other colors looked quite right either so I sent it back for a refund As for the texture I was not that crazy about it I found it to be thick hard to blend and rather dry I imagine a dab mixed with a little eye cream might be fine as a concealer but it s just not worth the trouble Sheer Lip Rouge 15 in Wine 240 This was the only item from my Shu Uemura experience that I liked I found there was again a risk of ordering color cosmetics online as this was more of a rosy red than what I thought a wine shade should look like Nevertheless it is a pretty color and I like the barely there texture You can

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT January 10 1997 I have some big news this week I finally took the plunge and colored my hair Winter always makes my medium blonde hair look drab and lifeless so I decided it needed a little brightening Thanks to Castings Tone on Tone Colorant by L Oreal in Wheat I now have subtle highlights and an overall shine that makes me look a bit more alive If you ve been thinking about subtly changing your hair color and are a chicken like me Castings is easy to use and won t dramatically change your natural color so when your hair grows you don t have to worry about darker roots In other product review news I finally took some much needed time to try the Seaweed Mud Mask for dry skin that I got from BeneFit a few weeks ago To make a long story short I noticed a marked improvement in the drier areas of my face after using this mask All the flaky patches and uncomfortable tightness felt soft and smooth If you want to give your face a moisture boost this mask from BeneFit really delivers Read my complete review at http www kleinman com cosmetic bene html Thanks to all of you who participated in last week s Cosmetic Poll What great responses I got Many of you thought of something general like nail polish while some of you were very specific about exactly what you would buy My favorite of these was Kiehl s Imperiale Repairateur Treatment Line Formula MM Moisturizing Masque That reader really knows what she wants Of the rest here were the top five responses to the question If you had 50 to spend on any cosmetic you wanted what would you buy MAC lipstick MAC Studio Fix foundation in general try a new brand of skin care have a salon facial As for me I love MAC too but I like that salon facial idea better As usual Cosmetic

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT November 8 1996 Since I have several products that I want to review this week and since many of you don t have web access this week s Cosmetic Report is dedicated to those reviews Philosophy Since writing my first reviews of Philosophy s skin care products several months ago I have not been eager to return to that counter Read my reviews and you ll understand why That all changed when I got a sample of their Hope in a Jar as part of a birthday gift After using Hope in a Jar for almost a week now I have to admit I have changed my mind This AHA lotion is so different from its counterpart Hope in a Bottle that I couldn t believe they were from the same line Unlike the Bottle version which contains salicylic acid the Jar version has a gentler exfoliator lactic acid as its AHA It is also thicker designed for normal to dry skin rather than normal to oily If you like what Philosophy is doing and you have normal to dry skin Hope in a Jar is worth checking out at least for a sample Revlon I am constantly surprised at the number of email I get with questions about MAC Studio Fix What is it and How can I get it are the most common with Isn t there something similar at the drugstore as a close second I believe I have found something that is similar less expensive and more widely available Revlon s latest foundation New Complexion One Step Makeup is a real alternative to Studio Fix It is a cream to powder foundation that comes in a compact and is applied with a sponge The compact itself is actually made by the exact same company that makes the compact for Studio Fix It has SPF 15 sunscreen and comes in about 10 or 12 colors I saw it at a few stores for 11 50 but got mine on sale for 9 99 If you have normal slightly oily or slightly dry skin this new foundation from Revlon is a good option I have to say I was really surprised that I liked this product My favorite part is that I can use it all over then use my finger or a corner of the sponge to dab a little extra in the corners of my eyes for dark circles and on any little red spots The coverage is good I d say sheer to medium and it wears well all day There are even testers at the stores so you can find the best match for your skin Bobbi Brown Even though I have enjoyed testing many Bobbi Brown products I have never wanted to spend that kind of money on cosmetics When I decided to test her foundation powder and other colors I did what I think every woman should do I got a free makeover at the counter I got to test drive the products without buying a thing and you can too My main objective was to test Bobbi Brown s Oil Free Foundation I know a few of my readers like it so of course I was curious Well I am no longer curious I tried it and I didn t like it It did not blend well it felt goopy on my face and it was so dewy that I looked like an oil slick even with my normal to dry skin Yuck And they want 35 for it I don t think so My advice is unless you already use and love this foundation save your money and try something else As for the other BB products used during my makeover I found them to be pretty ordinary I don t wear blush but she put Sand Pink on me anyway The eye shadows colors Bone Gray and Navy looked nice but I have a hard time justifying 17 for one eye shadow never mind 51 for all three The lipstick Nude was nice but I realized that with over 20 very similar lipsticks in my cosmetic bag I don t need another If I had all the money in the world maybe I would splurge on a few of these products but I don t To close this week s report an interesting nail polish tidbit Did you know that the names of some Hard Candy nail polish colors you find at Nordstrom are not always the same as the ones sold at other stores Nordstrom actually asked Hard Candy to rename some of their colors because they found the names to be objectionable If you like Soul or Luscious from Nordstrom you won t find them in any Hard Candy catalog Soul is actually called Pimp and Luscious is really named Porno I think I like the original names better You can get your very own Hard Candy catalog by calling 310 289 7767 SHOP Get what you need plus

traveling makeup case at the products tat made traveling a breeze plus a few new finds I discovered on the road Whenever I travel I always pack the products I know I ll need to tackle any problems I might have with my hair or my skin For this trip a cruise to the Caribbean I was going from cool Oregon air to dehydrating airplane air to hot and humid air all the course of a week This crazy shift in climates called for some serious products to help keep my skin and hair looking their best To prevent dry skin caused by stale pressurized airplane air Prescriptives Flight Cream 28 for a 1 7 ounce tube is a must have moisture boost you can apply over your regular moisturizer for added protection I used it before during and after flying to prevent dehydration and keep my skin moist and supple For any pimples that pop up unannounced Face It spot acne treatment liquid from Dr Semel 9 50 at better department stores does the trick overnight to eliminate them without drying out your skin Just a tiny dab on the affected area relieves redness and zaps the zit in record time To condition and protect your lips or any dry spots on your face BeneFit s Vitamin E Stick with SPF 15 14 BeneFit

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT November 6 1998 It s gotten rainy and chilly here in Oregon and that always means the beginning of The Great Winter Dry Out hair nails and skin all becoming dry dull and flaky from wind cold and dry indoor heating I decided to start looking for products that would help now and I found two great ones to keep your hands and nails protected this season After our Panelist Kiki s review of private label skin care from Hollywood facialist Steven Miller I visited his website www smsc net to see what other goodies he had to offer From his collection of lines I found R A Eckstein Body Active Lecithin Nail Oil 20 for 5 ounce I have always believed that the secret to healthy nails is moisture without it nails become brittle and weak so they break and peel more easily Simply brush on this lanolin and jojoba oil it s packaged like nail polish then massage into your nails and cuticles I ve been using it at least once preferably twice a day for a week over bare nails and already notice a difference in my nails the dryness is gone and they re not peeling or splitting anymore The price seems a bit steep at first but I can tell this bottle will last a very long time even with twice daily use mine doesn t even look opened For incredible lip protection I d also highly recommend the Eckstein Lipbalm 10 I found it on Steven s site too and I m sold It smells fantastic and conditions lips better than any balm I ve used even Kiehl s My dried out nails are always joined by dry itchy hands Better Botanicals an Ayurvedic based botanical skin care company from Washington D C just came out with a Kokum Butter Body Balm 14 99 for 8 ounces that is the best for dry skin Not only does it make my itchy hands feel better but for all you expectant moms it s been great on my pregnant belly Kokum butter is rich in essential fatty acids good for your skin it actually penetrates better than shea or cocoa butter less greasy too and this balm lotion is enriched with antioxidant and tonic herbs like watercress betel leaf and wild tumeric to help stimulate the skin and boost circulation Did I mention it smells good enough to eat

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT November 5 1999 This week I am pleased to bring you an update to my original review of Dermalogica skin care products This time around I was prescribed a regimen of products by one of Dermalogica s skin care specialists I answered a series of questions that they use to determine skin type and condition and I gave general information to her about my skin s personality and my lifestyle Here is what I tried Special Cleansing Gel 22 for 8 ounces I tried this cleanser the first time I reviewed Dermalogica I liked it then and I still like it now although I would still not call it special This is a lightweight almost watery gel that feels really slippery on the skin It does a great job of removing makeup and is not drying or stripping I think this is a fine cleanser for just about any skin type It does contain lavender and balm mint extracts but I did not find the levels high enough to be irritating Multi Active Toner 21 50 for 8 ounces I did not like this spray toner at all It contains balm mint and lavender like the cleanser but in this product they are incredibly irritating if or rather when you get them near your eyes it is rather inevitable with a spray It also contains aloe vera and cucumber but just not enough to cancel out the stinging effect of the mint and lavender If you want a gentle soothing spray toner Oxygen Mist from Peter Thomas Roth is far better than this Gentle Soothing Booster 41 for one ounce Let me preface my review with some background Dermalogica has a whole category of products called Boosters promising everything from Skin Renewal to Special Clearing Each formula packs botanical ingredients and plant extracts the company says pure over 70 active concentrates into a tiny one ounce serving that is supposed to deliver dramatic and immediate results Can we say hype The red raspberry extract and honey in Gentle Soothing for me did a mediocre job of reducing redness and calming irritation I practically slathered it on my face to try to see some results and all I noticed was that my skin felt more moisturized While I was using the Dermalogica products I had a few days with more blotchiness than usual so I had high hopes that this booster would help It didn t Intensive Moisture Concentrate 45 for one ounce Of all the Dermalogica products I tried I really liked this lightweight moisturizer It s a clear non sticky gel with aloe glycerin vitamin E vitamin A lavender oil corn oil and a variety of water binding ingredients I didn t find it to be as rich as the package claimed which actually makes it a nice choice for any skin type either alone or layered under your regular moisturizer Active Moist 27 for 1 75 ounces This is a really average and rather boring product if skin care can be either exciting or boring It has a variety of extracts like lavender mallow ivy cucumber sage and lemon but overall it performs like a basic lightweight lotion You don t need to spend almost 30 for something this basic Total Eye Care SPF15 31 50 for 75 ounce tube This is an unremarkable eye cream with a strange pinkish tint that I imagine is supposed to be the optical light diffusers the packaging mentions All it did for me was make me look like I had been crying The cream itself is fine nothing special a basic moisturizer A drugstore eye cream like L Oreal or Alpha Hydrox would be a much better purchase I think the thing that bothers me the most about Dermalogica is their image it s a bit like Clinique wanting you to belive that they are clinical just because their salespeople wear professional looking white lab coats Dermalogica is a cosmetics and skin care company like all the rest even though they want you to believe they are some kind of medical institution Everything from the skin care prescriptions to the rather chemical smelling products make you feel like you ve got a team of dermatologists working on formulas just for you Just be aware of what the line really is basic skin care and you ll be in good shape To learn more about Dermalogica visit their website at http www dermalogica com Product Review Spotlight Check out this

missed back issues of The Cosmetic Report can be found at http www kleinman com cosmetic back html Happy reading For those of you who don t have web access you can still email me directly for previous reports heather kleinman com Do you ever wonder how Estee Lauder got to be such an empire Maybe it s because we are giving EL all of our money The results of last week s Cosmetic Poll are in and EL wins as having the most expensive line of products From Fruition 45 to foundation 27 50 we seem to love our EL and don t mind paying for it The most expensive product bought by one reader is Guerlain s Meteorites pressed powder compact for an unbelievable 130 In second place Philosophy s Coloring Book collection of makeup and brushes for 160 Even though it costs more than the Guerlain it comes with 28 separate products making it only about 5 per item That s actually a really good deal Runners up for most expensive product include Chantal Ethocyn 80 Chanel s lipstick compact 50 and Chanel s Oil Free Day Lift Plus 48 50 Finally a quick review of the Elizabeth Arden Ceramide samples I got last week Yuk I didn t like them The capsules were greasy like putting cooking oil all over your face The day cream was nothing special at all The night cream was so heavy and greasy it made my face break out in tiny pimples I can t believe they think these products are for all skin types Even if you

holiday greetings and gift getting stories I hope the season treated you well Speaking of gift getting I have to share this mini review of a product I got for the holidays from Bath Body Works Between the cold weather and those wonderful household duties like washing dishes and doing the laundry my hands are constantly dried out and my nails are forever brittle Thanks to a tube of Shea Butter Hand Foot Treatment that my mom gave me my hands are super smooth and my nails are healthy again This stuff is fantastic and the macadamia nut oil in it makes it smell good enough to eat If you have a Bath Body Works near you I highly recommend checking out this lotion If you haven t guessed already I am a major lotion user this time of year During my last trip to San Francisco I picked up a few more things from BeneFit Cosmetics including a seaweed mud mask and Eye Bright stick that I plan to review in next week s report What deserves mentioning this week was the gift with purchase 2 ounce bottle of Avocado Body Lotion that I got If you like a thick emollient lotion like I do this one is fantastic It also smells great like almonds rather than overly flowery or powdery At 24 for 8 ounces it is a bit spendy but I think definitely a nice treat Among all the holiday email one reader was kind enough to remind me that in all the months I ve been doing this report I have yet to do reviews of the Garden Botanika products I so often recommend The wait is now over The reviews will come in several installments with the first being the GB 25 Face Lift kits For the full rundown on this terrific skin care deal check out my review at http www kleinman com cosmetic recommend html It s time again for another Cosmetic Poll a periodic survey on beauty related topics This week s poll question is If

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT October 30 1998 Happy Halloween from Cosmetic Connection As promised this week I am excited to bring you my full and lengthy review of Epicuren Discovery live enzyme skin care I have been on the basic program for the last three weeks and have noticed some real results that I think are worth sharing Let me start by saying that Epicuren Discovery is not for the budget minded The mid size travel kit lasts 2 3 months that I tested which contains small 2 ounce bottles of their six key products is 180 the full size kit that you would normally use at home is 350 We are not talking bargain basement here but the results I ve seen are compelling enough for me to recommend this line When I started the program three weeks ago I considered my skin to be a wreck I was suffering from severely clogged pores on my forehead dozens of tiny bumps and blackheads oiliness in the T zone and new breakouts daily of small red pimples and whiteheads like a pimple but more superficial on my chin and around my mouth I attributed these breakouts to the rise in hormone level that my body has gone through during my pregnancy and I tried my usual remedies acne creams and masks as well as seeing a dermatologist in an attempt to clear the condition all without much success My face basically looked like a battle zone with pimples and red blotches sprinkled here there and everywhere This was not the glow of pregnancy that I had hoped for Enter Epicuren Discovery I first heard about ED from a small mention in InStyle magazine several months ago and had been curious about the line ever since When the opportunity came to try it I jumped ED s concept is based on a combination of live enzyme vitamin and protein solutions being applied to the skin to encourage cell regeneration This basically means that the cells are getting more oxygen and are working more efficiently like aerobic exercise for your skin so they act and look healthier and more alive The basic ED system involves two steps preparation and treatment with three products per step There are quite a few other products that you can add or substitute like eye creams different cleansers and richer moisturizers but these are normally prescribed by your ED consultant later based on your results with the basic kit Step One Preparation Apricot Facial Scrub 20 for 2 ounces seemed similar at first in consistency to some other seeds and shells scrubs I ve tried but it actually much smoother and gentler The apricot and walnut scrub bits are flat and designed to very gently remove dead cells from the skin rather than just grinding and tearing at the healthy ones like some rougher scrubs can do The scrub is supposed to be used once a day unless your consultant advises another schedule before cleansing to remove cell buildup I really look forward to using it every morning and I think it helps the treatment products get into the skin more easily Apricot Facial Cleanser 18 for 2 ounces is a rich cream cleanser that effectively removes makeup while keeping the skin soft and supple In the morning this is my second step after the scrub while at night it s the first I really like this cleanser and would compare the silky consistency to Remede Milky Wash Brad Johns lotion cleanser for dry sensitive skin or Clarins Cleansing Milk with Alpine Herbs Since this cleanser is in the basic kit it is designed for all skin types however your consultant would evaluate your skin after using the system for several weeks to see if it could benefit from one of the other cleansers gelle for oily skin herbal for dry skin Facial Conditioner 22 for 2 ounces acts a bit like a toner to prepare the skin for the treatments that are to follow It contains collagen amino acids aloe vera gel ED s live enzyme complex as well as lemon sage and apricot extracts The instructions say to either saturate a cotton pad with the Conditioner or apply it directly to the skin with your fingers I prefer the direct method and found I used much less product this way Step Two Treatment Enzyme Facial Concentrate 86 for 2 ounces is the basis for the effectiveness of the whole system and the strongest application of live enzyme protein The vitamin and protein complex makes the skin cells work harder and more efficiently so your complexion looks healthier and smoother Enzyme Gel Plus 68 for 2 ounces also contains concentrated vitamins and protein that make the skin look and feel tighter and firmer I began by using one pump of the gel once a day then twice a day Now that my skin is responding well to the system and absorbing the products more readily I like to use two pumps twice a day for added moisture especially with colder weather on the way Facial Emulsion 26 for 2 ounces is the basic ED moisturizer It s rich in protein vitamins and collagen and seals in the benefits of the other treatment products I am also using two pumps twice a day of this and plan to supplement my routine with one of ED s other moisturizers as winter sets in This lotion is light to medium weight and absorbs fairly quickly especially after you ve been using the products for a while After using this basic system for the last three weeks I definitely notice a positive difference in my skin The first few days were transitional like with any new skin care routine but after about a week and a half my pimples were almost completely cleared up just a small whitehead appeared once or twice instead of half a dozen every day my forehead was almost completely cleared of pore congestion the excess oil in my T zone disappeared my cheeks felt noticeably smoother and softer to me and my husband and my skin s overall color was more even and rosy Now at the three week mark my skin is more resilient less sensitive and continues to be almost completely pimple free Most people will notice a small change within 2 to 4 weeks and even greater results after two months I plan to continue on the program and adjust a few of the products for my skin s current needs including changing to the Herbal Cleanser and adding the Protein Mist and Glycolic Lotion which I will review after several weeks of use As I mentioned before Epicuren Discovery is a high end skin care system that is more costly than most department store lines because of the live enzymes but is one that has produced real results for me in a relatively short amount of time If you are at the end of your rope with other lines and are looking for improvement in your skin s texture clarity and color ED is definitely worth investigating For more information you can contact Kim Heiman at ED by phone at 415 641 1779 or by email at hkimh best com She will also have an orders only website up soon at www

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT October 29 1999 This week I m pleased to have our Panelist Lisa L contributing her review of Zia Natural Skincare and Aubrey Organics skincare Here s a little about Lisa Lisa L is a 27 year old from Columbus OH She has very fair skin that tends to be combination and much oilier in the summer Lisa s heritage is rather mixed mostly Hungarian with some Scottish and French mixed in with a dash of Native American Strangely enough her very fair skin tans like nobody s business so she has to be careful and wear plenty of sunscreen Her skin is also not really sensitive except on her nose Lisa has green eyes with lots of gold and red hair not naturally though she s been coloring it a subtle auburn since she was 15 Lisa s main beauty concerns are puffy sensitive eyes and blackheads on her nose The best thing she s found so far for the blackheads is Queen Helene Mint Julep mask It works great and has that fun retro packaging Take it away Lisa G reetings fellow cosmetic junkies For the past 4 weeks I have been going au naturel with my skin care regimen I went to my local health food store here in Columbus OH I like The Raisin Rack and picked up some items from Zia natural skincare and Aubrey Organics Both lines tout themselves as all natural although I don t think any of us are exactly sure of what that means At any rate I did find some winners as well as some losers So sit back with a nice glass of herbal tea and read on The Zia Natural Skincare line comes from San Francisco no surprise there Aside from the natural aspect of their line the company also has an activist philosophy human rights is a biggie It always gives me a smile to know that money from my little splurges is going for a good cause I also appreciate the fact that Zia offers a toll free number that has estheticians available 6 days a week for a free skincare consultation They also offer a 100 money back guarantee if you aren t satisfied with their products With nothing to lose I jumped in and tried 4 products Fresh Cleansing Gel Hydrating Elixir Ultimate Eye Cream and Fresh Papaya Enzyme Peel Fresh Cleansing Gel 2 oz for 4 75 This is an interesting formula with a clean herbal scent It contains sea algae extract and is suitable for any skin type The gel doesn t foam but it does emulsify and expand so it slips easily across a damp face I liked this cleanser but only because I ignored the package directions they suggested a pea sized amount which didn t remove my makeup I even suspect it wouldn t be enough to cleanse a morning face I used a dime sized dollop and slightly more if I was wearing eye makeup and had pretty good success except for a few traces I caught with my usual toner All in all a fine cleanser but nothing spectacular Hydrating Elixir for Normal Skin 4 fluid ozs for 16 95 I was so suprised at how much I loved this product I was suspicious of this formula as it promised to treat skin problems at their source and contained all sorts of essential oils and extracts which I though would irritate my normal to oily combination skin Wow was I wrong A few quick sprays of this divine smelling liquid seemed to calm redness and keep my skin hydrated without making it shiny or greasy You can use it under or over just about anything and it is completely portable I can t think of a better product for post flight skin It comes in formulas for oily normal and dry skin Check out this product for yourself it is a real friend to the girl on the go Fresh Papaya Enzyme Peel 25 oz size for 3 85 about 4 applications This mask smells positively well green Considering it contains mostly green papaya that made perfect sense This is a nice exfoliating mask which is suggested for daily use Here s the catch though you have to leave it on 20 40 minutes I found that 35 minutes was right for my skin The mask left my complexion smooth and taut as promised but if you are like me you don t have that kind of time daily to devote to your skincare routine However it is nice for when you actually have a few rare and precious moments to yourself Ultimate Eye Cream 5 oz for 29 95 This eye cream is part of their ultimate line of restorative products This product promised to penetrate deeply to reduce fine lines and make the eye area smooth and plump As I close in on 30 I am aware of how the skin around my eyes is changing In the past year I have added an eye cream to my nightly ritual I also tend to suffer from allergy eyes which means that some days I have dark circles and puffiness for which Boris Karloff would have paid good money I really like this citrus scented cream The formula was not the least bit irritating despite the delicious smell I could apply it over the entire area even eyelashes without any redness or stinging I woke up with fresh well rested eyes This product presents serious competition to my favorite eye cream Clinique All About Eyes but since the Clinique is a bit less expensive we ll see And now for the Aubrey Organics products I only tried 2 of these products even a Diva has to live on a budget Like Zia Aubrey Organics claims it is all natural with some formulas being vegan lacking in any animal by products In fact some of their products must be refrigerated after opening Calendula Blossom Natural Deodorant Spray 4oz for 8 15 Some of you might have read about the possible connection between some forms of breast cancer and the use of traditional anti perspirants so for the past year I have only used various deodorants and had good success So far my favorite is the natural salt rock deodorant This Aubrey formula smells nice but is only suitable if you are in a low perspiration environment It made it through my work day but didn t last through my evening Taekwondo workout Jojoba and Oatmeal Facial Scrub and Mask 4oz for 7 75 This is a really nice product You can use it as a scrub or mask depending on the length of time you leave it on It has a nice whipped cream texture and light smell Because of the softness of the jojoba beads and oatmeal it is perfect for those with sensitive skin Despite the oil content in this product I didn t experience any breakouts A good basic scrub for the price I encourage all of you to consider some of these products Most of them are a nice value and will help bring out your own natural inner goddess Lisa L

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT October 25 1996 I had such fun this week testing all the products from last week s 10 Challenge What s The 10 Challenge I let loose at my local drugstore with 10 and an idea to see just how many cool cosmetics I could find I found some pretty amazing deals Jane True to You sheer foundation in Fair 69 trial size For the first time ever I found a good color match with drugstore foundation With such a great selection of colors sizes and formulas just about anything Jane is well worth the whopping 3 Jane Barely Lips Sheer Lipstick in Partly Peach 89 trial size This color is my current favorite It feels moist wears well and doesn t get crumbly or dry I even like this better than Browned Down Red the current in Jane color Prestige eye shadow in C 26 Ivory 2 69 Prestige is a serious player in the eye shadow market with nice colors and textures that blend well all for under 3 Maybe next time I could choose a better color for my complexion though This one would be great for someone with yellow undertones not pink like mine Nat Robbins Creme to Powder Shadow plus Base in Pretty Pink 1 99 I had the most fun with the Nat Robbins creme to powder eye shadow The texture and color are comparable to those new expensive ones at the department stores for about one tenth the price Nat Robbins Stay Put Lipcolor in Misty 2 99 Again I could have picked a more neutral color Misty was very pink on me the Stay Put lipcolor has to be one of the best of the long wearing formulas out today It goes on smooth and looks natural Thanks to everyone for all of

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT October 24 1997 Thanks so much to everyone who emailed me positively about the Cosmetic Connection site re design We are having a great One Year Anniversary and thought the site could use a bit of a face lift In the spirit of celebration The Cosmetic Report is taking its first vacation next week You can get your weekly dose of cosmetic reviews on the Cosmetic Connection website then meet us back here on November 7th for another great issue of The Cosmetic Report Wandering the aisles of my local Fred Meyer supermarket this week looking for new and interesting products I found L Oreal s new Feel Perfecte concealer and pressed powder around 9 99 each I m not a big fan of L Oreal s Feel Perfecte foundation so so color selection slightly greasy feel but the new concealer and pressed powder are pretty nice For any redness or spots you want to cover the Feel Perfecte concealer gives a nice smooth finish that blends well to look natural enough to use alone without foundation The only downside is that the coverage isn t quite opaque enough if you have very dark undereye circles I like Maybelline Great Wear concealer Stila Eye concealer or Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick better for dark circles I liked the texture of the Feel Perfecte powder very smooth and silky not chalky but the color selection leaves a lot to be desired The whopping three colors light medium and dark can t possibly give every women a perfect match for her skin I tried the light and it was way too dark for me If one of the colors works for you great This is a nice soft powder you can use alone or over foundation Before heading for the check out line with my L Oreal Feel Perfecte goodies I spotted a new eye shadow from Aziza and decided to give it a try too Single Step Eyeshadow around 6 is a cream to powder formula that comes in a tube with a sponge applicator Unlike some cream shadows I ve tried that can be a little dry Smashbox Chanel Aziza s is creamy and blends easily without tugging on your eyelid Just apply across the lid and blend with your finger It sets within seconds to a smooth powder that won t crease or fade until you take it off Single Step comes in a nice selection of colors in neutrals golds and pinks to suit anyone s taste and skin tone topaz is my personal favorite I have been searching for what feels like forever for a shampoo that doesn t dry out my hair Some have come close and are fine for everyday but when my hair is feeling really dry and frazzled nothing has worked to rescue it until now During my usual weekly visits to my local Nordstrom they know me by name now I discovered a new conditioning shampoo from Origins that actually works Called The Last Straw 12 50 this cream shampoo is so thick Origins packaged it in a jar rather than a bottle The orange and apricot fragrance from essential oils is heavenly but even better is how soft and smooth it made my hair If your hair is dyed dried or fried as

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT October 23 1998 I get dozens of questions every week from readers like you asking about foundation what are the best brands colors formulas for every skin type and beauty concern you can think of I ve tried more brands than I can count and I know there are even more out there that deserve a look Over the next few weeks I plan to bring you a review or two every issue of a new or especially worthwhile foundation and hopefully even some to avoid This week I tested the latest from Givenchy Teint Ecran Creme Compact Foundation SPF 15 42 This cream to powder makeup is touted as being for all skin types and claims to protect the skin from environmental damage with an antioxidant complex The truth is the antioxidant vitamins A C and E are so far down the ingredient list after the preservatives that they really won t do anything So much for environmental protection I also had mixed feelings about the foundation itself At first I found it was a bit dry and difficult to blend then I realized that a different sponge something thicker and softer like the one from Shiseido Liquid Compact made the foundation go on more smoothly I thought I was on my way to some success with it until after a week of wearing the foundation I developed tiny whiteheads on my chin and forehead and had changed nothing else in my routine Could the foundation be the culprit I wasn t 100 sure but I knew I didn t like it I went back to Prescriptives Photochrome and the pimple problem cleared up within a day Given a choice between Teint Ecran and the many other compact foundations available now I would not run out to buy this one Do you ever just forget about wearing nail polish because it takes so long to dry I do this or rather don t do it all the time but now I have no excuse L Oreal s new Jet Set Quick Dry nail enamel and top coat around 3 89 each at drugstores make quick home manicures easy one layer of polish plus one layer of top coat really does dry in 60 seconds You do sacrifice a bit of wear since 60 seconds only gets you one coat of color but if you are in a hurry or don t mind touching up in a few days this speedy new polish is great I am usually really good about keeping my makeup brushes clean but every once in a while they get neglected Shame on me I know but trying to keep the large collection I have clean is a real challenge using regular soap shampoo and water I was so glad to recently find a fast and effective alternative Brush Off makeup brush cleaner 9 for 2 ounce spray Made by a company right here in Oregon Brush Off is a spray that also kills bacteria and leaves your brush bristles feeling soft Just spray it on the bristles wipe off with a tissue and you are ready to use the brush again right away This is a makeup artist s dream come true You ll find Brush Off online as well as in many major department stores Since I spend most of my time either on the web or at the cosmetic counters I am always searching for interesting sites or resources online This week I discovered that Bobbi Brown Essentials now has shopping online If you wish you could try her products or if you just want to stock up without visiting the counter check out the new storefront Together with Neiman Marcus department store you can now buy Bobbi Brown makeup skin care brushes and more from the comfort of your computer One warning there are a few catches to the service so be sure to read the fine print Coming up in next week s Cosmetic Report I am really excited to bring you my personal review of Epicuren Discovery enzyme skin care

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT October 22 1999 I m up to my eyeballs in products to try so here are a few that had their 15 minutes of fame recently in my testing facility a k a my bathroom Estee Lauder Unline Total Eyecare 35 for 5 ounce I have hot and cold periods with eye cream sometimes I use it faithfully sometimes it s an extra step I can do without I am not quite sure why Estee Lauder decided to come out with yet another eye cream but I m taking a guess that they are targeting the 20something approaching 30something market with this one Unline is the be all do all of eye creams it smoothes soothes protects prevents lightens brightens Hey will it wash dishes and fold the laundry Sorry but it s just an eye cream It moisturizes and that s it Its green tea and vitamins C and E are supposed to fight free radicals but can you really see that working Having sufficiently bashed the Unline concept I do think it is a fine eye cream It has a light cream gel texture that absorbs fairly quickly and doesn t ball up under makeup like some gels can I like the pump design dispensing just the right amount for each eye If you can wade through all the hype and just see it for the moisturizing eye cream that it is Unline is a decent product Komenuka Bijin Facial Clean Powder 36 for 30 packets Let me start off by saying I like aspects of this product and I think it s a mostly clever idea Facial Clean Powder comes packaged in small paper packets that look like a stick of chewing gum with 30 packets per box Each packet contains a light cleansing scrub powder made of rice bran collagen glycyrrhiza licorice root aloe seaweed chamomile honey and coconut oil The idea is that each packet has three applications inside so you only pour out about a third of the packet and mix it with water each time you wash your face What I do like about this product is that the scrubbing action is very gentle the textured part breaks down into a light lather as you wash and the powder has a very nice aroma of honey What I find very annoying about this product is the packaging Trying to keep the little paper packets from disintegrating around water like by the sink or in the shower is next to impossible I also found it very difficult to dispense the right amount of powder and ended up going through the product rather quickly The company offers a pre mixed version called Facial Cleansing Foam but since the rice bran breaks down so easily the foam 40 for 3 3 oz at Beauty Habit does not exfoliate at all I decided with about 15 packets left I am going to open them all and pour the powder into a container with a lid and just dispense the amount I need If you decide to try this you might want to do the same Komenuka Bijin Skin Lotion 40 for 120ml With my Beauty Habit order they generously threw in samples of this toner and the Komenuka Bijin eye gel I did like this alcohol free toner but it is not amazing enough to spend 40 really is any toner worth that much This one has rice bran aloe chamomile seaweed sake and Japanese towel gourd but it s still not worth that kind of money Komenuka Bijin Eye Moisture Gel 50 for 40ml Again I like this eye gel but not enough to spend 50 bucks It contains rice bran aloe liquat leaf mint balm and lemon and has a light cream gel consistency that leaves the eye area very moist and supple I don t think it performs any better than other basic eye treatments I ve tried like Garden Botanika Beauty Without Cruelty or Kiehl s so I am not jumping to recommend it I got my Komenuka Bijin products from www beautyhabit com who were very generous with samples but I also found the line for a few dollars cheaper at www diamondbeauty com The choice is yours UPDATE Clarins Energizing Morning Cream As promised I have an update to my original review of Clarins Energizing Morning Cream 9 2 99 Clarins claims that this cream will energize revitalize protect stimulate etc etc and after just over a month of using it I have found none of those qualities to be true At first I liked the slightly warm feeling on my skin but as time passed my skin became oily and it developed those annoying little bumps that creams sometimes cause This is yet another gimmicky cream with everything but the kitchen sink in it SPECIAL Heather gets a holiday makeover Just when I thought my glamorous side was lost my fellow makeup

foundation so I accepted the challenge and gave it a thorough 4 day test drive Whether you love the product or hate it my review of Virtual Skin http www kleinman com cosmetic virtual html will help you decide if this product is right for you In case you hadn t noticed I do like a challenge I decided this week that it was time to see just how far 10 could go at my local drugstore With so many drugstore lines out there I figured there had to be some great bargains just waiting for me Here s what I found Jane True to You sheer foundation in Fair 69 trial size Prestige eyeshadow in C 26 Ivory

introduced some new reviews for a few Smash Box products I had tried Over the course of a week I also managed to test drive their lipstick I was not impressed While I think their minimalist philosophy is great I like to grab one tube of lipstick and go not drag three or four around just so I can mix my perfect color Not only was I not thrilled by the colors but I didn t like the texture either It was greasy slippery and had no staying power I d sooner take my MAC or Aveda lipsticks over Smash Box any day SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion

site re design to make your visit to Cosmetic Connection easier and more enjoyable We ve also got more reviews and October s new Feature the results from the Reader s Survey of the Best Beauty Products Read what your fellow cosmetic enthusiasts think are the best cleansers moisturizers foundations and much more Enjoy On this week s hunt through the drugstore for cool and interesting products I found three that I either really liked or really hated Read on Anyone who knows me knows I rarely if ever use eye liner pencils For lining I always use a dark eye shadow and a liner brush because the look is softer more precise and it lasts longer than pencils For a change of pace I decided this week to give a couple of pencils a shot to see if they could measure up L Oreal Pencil Perfect automatic eyeliner around 6 Could it be a pencil I actually like This one comes in a great selection of colors that are smooth and blendable with great staying power so the color won t fade or smear For longer wear remember this important eye makeup tip make sure any creams you apply to the eye area are fully absorbed before you put on your eye makeup if the eye area is too oily or greasy your makeup will fade away within a few hours Apply a thin layer of concealer foundation and or loose powder to your eye lid before your shadow and liner for longer lasting color Almay One Coat gel eye pencil around 6 For every good product I suppose there has to be a bad one and this is it I have no idea what Almay was thinking when they made this product the pencil tip is thick greasy and impossible to control When I tried sharpening the tip down to make it thinner it broke off into little blobs of oozy gel goo Yuck Drugstore mascara has always been a favorite of mine because it s cheap and it works For well defined lashes and absolutely zero globs or clumps Maybelline Lash by Lash around 5 is my new favorite The long straight brush is densely packed with short thin bristles that deliver a smooth even application of color every time After reviewing Biore s terrific Pore Perfect Deep Cleaning strips in the June 27th issue of The Cosmetic Report I ve been swamped with requests for more Biore reviews This week I tried the non foaming Facial Cleansing Gel around 6 and really liked it The main ingredient sorbitol is a naturally derived humectant from fruit that holds water in your skin so you don t get that dry taut feeling The gel is refreshing and effective at removing makeup and since it doesn t foam it works well for any skin type Check out the Biore website

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT October 16 1998 I get dozens of questions every week from readers like you asking about foundation what are the best brands colors formulas for every skin type and beauty concern you can think of I ve tried more brands than I can count and I know there are even more out there that deserve a look Over the next few weeks I plan to bring you a review or two every issue of a new or especially worthwhile foundation and hopefully even some to avoid This week s foundation can in my opinion be added to the avoid list Much like the Revlon Even Out makeup I reviewed in September 18th s report Almay s new Amazing Lasting Sheer Makeup with SPF 12 around 8 50 at drugstores makes me wonder who could possibly use such a sheer foundation If your skin is so perfect that you need no coverage why bother with foundation at all The long wearing benefits are really meaningless because the makeup doesn t cover anything I m afraid Amazing Lasting Sheer gets a big thumbs down For makeup that really does perform I highly recommend checking out these great makeup kits from Profaces Created by a group of professional makeup artists in New York City who needed colors that would work on a variety of skin tones these color palette kits are a makeup artist s and makeup enthusiast s dream Every kit is customizable and refillable with classic colors that will work on a wide range of skin tones The ten and fifteen color makeup kits come in a lightweight hard shell case that is thin and durable All of the makeup is hypoallergenic and free from animal testing Here are the kits I ve tried 4 color kit 39 95 This is a small square compact with 3 neutral shadows light cream medium brown and deep gray and 1 blush medium rose The kit is mirrored with a magnetic closure and comes with a velour travel pouch I love this one for travel and even just in my makeup bag for an easy 1 2 3 makeup look 10 color kit in light medium or medium dark 89 95 Mixing

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT October 15 1999 This week I am pleased to share my experience with the new Sonia Kashuk makeup line available exclusively at Target Not all the products were available at my local store like lipgloss brow definer and lip pencils so I hope to have reviews of those soon Following the Sonia review I also have a much anticipated review of Paula s Choice skin care products Enjoy Overall this is a line to look at if you are fed up with Cover Girl and Maybelline but you don t want to pay department store prices Makeup artist Sonia Kashuk created these products in cooperation with Target to offer professional quality products to everyone at a price we can afford The sleek silver compacts are minimalist albeit a bit tin y the colors are universal and wearable and the formulas rival many department store brands that are twice the price Perfecting Liquid Foundation 9 99 If it s the dewy look you re after this liquid delivers The coverage is sheer to medium so you do need a separate concealer for any challenging areas like dark circles or blemishes I bought Bisque the lightest of the six shade selection also including Cream Bamboo Camel Pecan and Amber The best aspect of this foundation in my opinion is that the colors are yellow based not pink like most drugstore foundation If you have fair skin you know what I mean Yellow based colors typically look more natural on the skin more like a fleshtone The only thing I really don t like about this foundation is the scent stinky and perfumey If you can get past the odor this is a department store quality makeup at a pretty reasonable price Dual Coverage Powder Foundation 9 99 I was less happy with this foundation because the lightest shade Ivory is actually too light for me wow that never happens I ended up looking like a ghost I may check out the other colors Linen Sand Honey Golden and Tawny to see I can find a better match Dual Coverage is a powder with a silky almost creamy feel It has medium coverage and lasts fairly well through the day I did have to apply a little loose powder under my eyes and on my eye lids to keep the foundation from creasing but for the most part it stays put I am still enamored with Urban Decay s Surreal Skin powder foundation but there is quite a price difference Barely There Loose Powder 7 99 Of all the Sonia products I tried this is my favorite There is only one color Naked a transparent ivory white which I imagine is supposed to work for all skintones I have an unfair bias considering my skin is really fair so it does work great for me but I have a hard time imagining it being the ideal color for someone with darker skin As for the texture I think it s outstanding incredibly light and imperceptible I even like it better than T LeClerc which is quite a coup considering how inexpensive the Sonia version is Beautifying Blush 7 99 Apparently there is a powder and a cream version of the Sonia blush but I could only get the powder The one thing that surprised me about this blush is the tiny little brush in the compact I would think a professional makeup artist would have a separate larger brush that you could buy instead of those awful eyeshadow sized brushes You just can t get decent application from a brush that size I immediately pitched mine in the trash As for the blush itself it comes in Pink Bloom Dawn Spice and Nude I chose Pink The texture is soft and blendable and I found it lasted well through the day on my normal to dry skin Enhance Eye Color 4 99 Sonia has quite an array of neutrals and colors to choose from so I went with a basic cream beige Whisper and a soft sheer purple Amethyst Whisper is the ideal base shade that you can use under other colors alone on the whole eye area to subtly bring out your eyes or on the browbone as a sort of highlighter I used Amethyst both as liner both wet and dry and as shadow just on the lid Both colors went on smoothly and lasted well throughout the day with fading or creasing At this price you can afford to try several new colors for fall Luxury Lip Color 5 99 This lipstick was my second favorite Sonia product after the loose powder Choosing a shade from a sea of browns pinks and everything in between is always a challenge but I really lucked out with September a cool cranberry red The creamy texture sets to a semi matte finish that I found lasted well even after eating or drinking a little something Personally I think this is a the ultimate fall color Paula s Choice skincare I have gotten several requests for a review of this line created by consumer advocate Paula Begoun I hesitated for quite a while because I disagree with a product reviewer selling her own line of products it just seems like a conflict of interest to me That aside it is still a line of products like any other so I figured what the heck You never know I might find something wonderful that I can t live without One Step Face Cleanser Normal to Dry Skin 9 95 for 8 ounce tube This milky lotion cleanser does a fine job of removing makeup but it felt a little greasy on my skin and it stung like crazy My skin can be sensitive but this was ridiculous It was so uncomfortable that I had to return it Final Touch Toner Normal to Dry Skin 8 95 for 8 ounces I had a painful reaction to the toner as well burning and stinging Back it went It doesn t seem to have any particularly irritating ingredients since Paula is such an advocate for non irritating products so my skin s reaction was very surprising Completely Emollient Moisturizer Normal to Dry Skin 10 95 for 4 ounce jar I was tempted to send this cream back too because it is much richer than I expected but I decided to save it for winter when my skin really dries out The second ingredient is sweet almond oil so it has a very emollient feel You only need a small amount for your whole face and it s gentle enough to use around the eyes 1 Beta Hydroxy Acid Solution 12 95 for 4 ounces I finally found a winner with this beta hydroxy lotion I have been able to use this lotion instead of my prescription acne medication yay and have been almost completely pimple free for over a month This is my favorite of all the Paula s Choice products I ve tried As with most of her products you only need a small amount of this for your whole face or the area you want to treat I was relieved after my discomfort with the cleanser and toner that I had no adverse reaction to this lotion at all All Day Cover Non Greasy Sunscreen SPF30 Normal to Oily Combination Skin 11 95 for 6 ounces This sunscreen has great broad spectrum protection Octyl Methoxycinnamate 7 5 Benzophenone 3 5 Octyl Salicylate 5 Avobenzone 3 but I would not call it non greasy I had a feeling it would feel a little greasy which is why I ordered the normal to oily version even though my skin is not at all oily If you are careful to use the smallest pea sized amount you can avoid an overly greasy feeling For more information on Paula s

html If you don t believe the impact a haircut can have take a look at these before and after photos The results are in and the wait is over The much anticipated product reviews for Smash Box are now at the Cosmetic Connection I was just as excited to try these products as I m sure many of you will be This is a fun new line that is definitely worth exploring so check out my reviews http www kleinman com cosmetic tips html and go get those samples Speaking of samples many of you have found that the samples getting process is not as easy as it sounds Here s some advice Decide what sort of samples you want before you go to the counter cleanser moisturizer scrub etc Try to strike up a conversation with the counter person I know how hard this can be but if you are friendly and open they become more at ease and helpful Be honest about what you like and what you can afford If they want to give you a sample of cleanser for oily skin and yours is dry tell them Just because you take samples for products does not mean you have to buy anything I must have a bazillion samples for products that I would never buy You don t owe the counter person anything Many of them are just there to take your money This advice can also apply to color cosmetics Even if you can t take a sample home with you try colors and textures before you buy anything How many times have you seen a color at the counter bought it taken it home and found that you hate it Or how about foundation Every formula is different so test them out first Ask the counter person to put the foundation on your face so your wear it around and see what you think You ll feel much better knowing you did your homework and bought something you really like I recently tried the new Slipcovers lipcolor from Origins by just putting it on at the mall and wearing it around all day This new line of soft neutral colors and textures from Origins are nice but not outstanding If you like cream eyeshadows give these a try and see what you think I found the lipcolor to be average with no more staying power that any other blotted lipstick At 10 for the lipcolor and 12 for cheeks and eyes I d rather stick with traditional formulas With so many new products out there are you having trouble getting the ones you want What do you do when the latest Bobbi Brown Shimmer eye shadows are available but your store doesn t carry

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT October 10 1997 I have often wondered about the skin care lines sold and used at salons and spas are they really better than bargain or even department stores brands just because they are used by facialists I recently had the opportunity to try Dermalogica a salon line developed by The International Dermal Institute Dermalogica s claim is that their products contain highly effective ingredients that correct skin problems and restore skin health How different could it be from other lines I decided to try a few of the products to find out for myself Special Cleansing Gel 22 for 8 ounces for all skin types Considering that I typically have terrible luck with cleansers that lather or foam I was pleasantly surprised at how well my normal to dry sensitive skin reacted or rather didn t react to this gel It removed my makeup thoroughly and left my skin feeling clean but not dry or stripped Unless you have very dry skin this is a good but not all that special choice for most skin types Skin Renewal Booster 41 for 1 ounce AHA serum With so many reasonably priced AHA products on the market Alpha Hydrox Neutrogena and Pond s to name a few I find it hard to justify spending what Dermalogica is asking for this product The serum texture is nice but not worth so much money for such a small amount of product If you want a lightweight serum AHA consider Circle of Beauty s All Even AHA Serum 15 at Sears or Alpha Hydrox Enhanced Gel around 9 at drugstores Skin Smoothing Cream 29 for 1 75 ounces For dry sensitive or weather worn skin that needs relief this cream works and feels great It s emollient enough to soothe without being greasy a definite plus for irritated skin Because it only has an SPF 6 level of sun protection I would sooner recommend this as a night cream even in the winter you still need an SPF 15 sunscreen when you are outside Even though I enjoyed these Dermalogica products they aren t so incredibly unique or different from many other skin care lines With any line buy products that you like and that work for you not ones that simply seem better because they are expensive Our Drugstore Extravaganza continues this week with two great products to enhance your eyes I m always looking for eye shadows in wearable colors that last all day without creasing and that don t cost a fortune I have had good luck with L Oreal mascara so I decided to try their Soft Effects eye shadow duo around 4 at drug and discount stores in satin taupe Both the taupe shade and the darker charcoal shade are wonderfully neutral smooth and silky and long wearing up to about 10 hours without creasing or fading Great shadows like this make it almost a crime to pay more Several months ago I finally got the hang of tweezing my brows without making a mistake Now I can appreciate any product that will help me keep them nicely groomed Revlon s new ColorStay Browcolor around 7 at drug and discount stores comes in blonde auburn brunette and black brown is a great find a brow pencil on one end for filling in any sparse areas and a matching brow gel on the other end perfect for keeping stray hairs under control If you aren t very adept with the pencil like me the colored gel works great by itself for color and control in one For more information on Revlon ColorStay Browcolor visit the Revlon website Ask The

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT October 9 1998 I get dozens of questions every week from readers like you asking about foundation what are the best brands colors formulas for every skin type and beauty concern you can think of I ve tried more brands than I can count and I know there are even more out there that deserve a look Over the next few weeks I plan to bring you a review or two every issue of a new or especially worthwhile foundation and hopefully even some to avoid There have been quite a few new arrivals in the cream to powder category of foundation over the last year or so and I always look forward to seeing what s next Prescriptive s has finally jumped on the bandwagon with their new Photochrome Light Adjusting Compact Makeup 35 and I am pleased to say it is one worth trying Many cream to powder brands go from one extreme to the other too dry or too creamy too powdery or too greasy too oil control or too moisturizing but Photochrome is really the happy medium It s lightweight oil free no plant animal or mineral oil has medium to full coverage that still looks natural SPF 15 titanium dioxide and it s transfer resistant to look great all day The Prescriptives salesperson I spoke to recommends Photochrome for people with normal or normal to dry skin but with winter just around the corner I imagine those of you with combination skin or a very slight oily tendency might like it too Personally I love that it covers flaws well while still looking fresh and skin like and it doesn t accentuate dry areas I also found it also doesn t aggravate acne or cause new breakouts like many creamy foundations can My one and only gripe with this product is that it is not refillable meaning you have to spend 35 every time you run out Like many cream to powder formulas like Vincent Longo Water Canvas and Shiseido Liquid Compact Photochrome comes in a locking compact to keep the product moist and fresh It would be nice if you could refill the same compact Overall I ve been really happy with it and would definitely buy my warm vellum shade again Although my review last week of Estee Lauder s Smoothing Cream Concealer was less than favorable this week I was pleased to discover their Uncircle Concealer SPF 20 16 to be much better For dark undereye circles the yellow based colors and slightly thick texture really work to cover without looking heavy or cakey You can look well rested and ready for your day in no time even if you don t feel very perky Apply it with gentle dabbing strokes just to the dark areas with a small makeup brush I use Philosophy s lip brush for the best results Back in the March 27th issue of The Cosmetic Report I brought you a review of a new and unusual roll on fragrance line called smell THIS Their collection of unique smells like cut grass clean wet laundry and beach smells take the idea of perfume to a new and thankfully different level If you tried them and loved them as much as I did you can now indulge in shower gels and body lotions 14 each 8 ounce bottles in four of their irresistible scents canned peaches cake batter salon shampoo and soda pop fizz Not only are the smells fantastic but the bottles themselves are fun and unique they look like giant glue bottles Check out these yummy lotions and potions along with the complete smell THIS line at http www smellthis com I m always glad to

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT October 8 1999 This week I m pleased to have our Panelist Deanna back as a featured contributor Deanna is one of the first people I know to try the new Sonia Kashuk line available exclusively at Target discount stores I finally got some of the products myself and will have a review online next week For now you can get your Sonia fix from this review from Deanna Learn more about Deanna here Take it away Deanna I love autumn cosmetic shopping Almost all cosmetic lines have something new in the fall and many new lines are launched this time of year Another great plus for cosmetics shopping this time of year is that the weather in Maryland has cooled somewhat the humidity has dissipated and my oily skin goes back to normal to slightly oily Also my skin takes on a chameleon like quality this time of year I begin to fade from my regular yellow tan to eventually become a vanilla pudding shade With all of that going on I have great excuses to load up on new things Just when you were beginning to think that I never left the house to go cosmetics shopping I am pleased to present to you my review of the Sonia Kashuk cosmetic line available exclusively at Target pronounced in my household as tar sheh This is a new line of yellow based color cosmetics featuring the name of makeup artist Sonia Kashuk worked with Cindy Crawford on her Basic Face book but is licensed through the Dayton Hudson Corporation The packaging is very modern and up to date mostly in silver Because this line is so new in my area the lipsticks were still unavailable however I ll be sure to review the lipsticks when they do arrive Here s what I bought and what I thought of the products Perfecting Liquid Foundation 9 99 This is a very sheer liquid foundation It comes in six colors Bisque Cream Bamboo Camel Pecan and Amber Unfortunately there are no foundation colors for darker women of color but the range would be acceptable for skin tones varying from very fair skin to a paper sack tan Personally I purchased Bamboo a light tan color The positives of this foundation are If you prefer sheer to medium sheer coverage you ll like this It does not appear to contain any comedogenic ingredients It is water based and has the added benefit of having topical vitamins A and E The negatives are If you have sensitive skin the topical vitamins as well as the beeswax may irritate the skin It looks a little bit ashy on my skin tone possibly from the mica and titanium dioxide The ashiness is not as bad as with some other products I ve tried and is correctable with the addition of other products Also this product claims to be oil free however it is not It does contain some mineral oil so although not comedogenic it s not oil free either It lasts quite well however I did have to touch up once about midday and once mid evening Dual Coverage Powder Foundation 9 99 If you prefer a medium to medium heavy finish like I do this cream to powder foundation provides better coverage It is available in six colors Ivory Linen Sand Honey Golden and Tawny Again this color range is limited to the same skin tones as mentioned above Personally I purchased the Sand color The product is talc based and does not appear to contain any comedogenic ingredients There is less ashiness when using this product versus the liquid foundation so this cream to powder formulation may be better if you are a woman of color I was very impressed with this product it lasted well requiring only one touch up in the early evening Barely There Loose Powder 7 99 I personally prefer loose powder because I am subject to breakouts Unfortunately the loose powder only comes in one shade Naked which is an absolute white powder Unfortunately this color is uncomplimentary to my skin tone it looks very ashen on me but it does set the liquid foundation quite nicely This product may be better for fairer skin tones but it did not work well on me Sonia Kashuk does have a line of pressed powders available in Chiffon Wheat and Caramel and those powders may be better for women of color Beautifying Blush 7 99 The blushes come in two formulations powder contains topical vitamins A and E and cream The colors for the powders are Pink a cool rose burgundy Bloom a cool rose Dawn a cool bright pink Spice a warm rose and Nude a warm pink Personally I chose Spice The color was very complimentary lasted quite well requiring one touch up in the early evening The cream formulation comes in two colors Glow for cooler skin tones and Sun for warmer skin tones which I did not try but the products are available if you prefer cream formulations Enhance Eye Color 4 99 Currently there are approximately 15 eye shadow colors available in the Sonia Kashuk line The majority of the colors are naturals in the brown family however she does offer about 6 colors The naturals range from ivory beige to dark brown with names like Starlight Sunrise Whisper Malt Sable Bronze and Barley The Colors are called Moonstone Sadye Pink Plum Amethyst Gunmetal Ink and Night I chose Whisper a light brown and Sable a darker brown Both of these shadows lasted very well without creasing for about 6 8 hours I found that with the addition of an eye base they did last the day The shadows also have topical vitamins A and E included in the formulation so if you re sensitive to these ingredients you may not want to use these shadows Also there is some ashiness apparent in the lighter colors so the darker colors may be better for women of color Overall I m pretty impressed with the Sonia Kashuk line and find it to be a great alternative to some higher priced lines Hopefully this line will expand to include products for darker women of color Some of the products can produce an ashen appearance to the skin however it s a great product line for the price I d say this line qualifies as a cosmetic coup and I am happy to include it in my fall shopping spree Sonia

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT October 4 1996 To start off this week s report I offer a helpful hair taming hint that I personally use every morning About a year ago when those high shine no frizz hair serums were getting popular I decided to try one to get my wavy hair frizzies under control No matter which brand I tried I was never satisfied with the results I always found them very difficult to distribute evenly through my hair About six months ago I discovered the solution Instead of using the serum alone now I put a small amount of it in the palm of my hand and mix it with a small amount the size of a pea of a liquid styling gel The gel gives the serum more slip so you can more easily distribute it through your hair Success My personal combination is Aveda Purefume Anti Humectant Pomade for shine and Aveda Confixor Styling Gel for control On my never ending search for samples I came across one this week that is worth mentioning The Body Shop has introduced an eye gel to go along with their Face Value skin care line that is actually quite nice Simply called Eye Supplement the gel is lightly moisturizing and works well on tired puffy eye lids The sample is very generous I have been using the same tiny vial morning and night for three days and it isn t even half empty I got mine as part of a GWP gift with purchase but I d say just go to the Body Shop and ask for one for free Thanks to everyone who participated in last week s Cosmetic Poll Now for the results Just how much do we spend on cosmetics every month Based on the answers I received as well as my own 30 40 month we spend an average of 35 a month for cosmetics and skin care Surprised I was I actually thought it would be more especially from myself Maybe we are all just getting better at

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT October 3 1997 Happy October from the Cosmetic Connection For Part Two of our Drugstore Extravaganza series this week I road tested two long lasting products that really lived up to their promises Amazing Lasting around 8 at drugstores the new oil free long wearing foundation from Almay worked so well at lasting all day that I almost couldn t get it off If you ve tried Revlon ColorStay L Oreal Colour Endure or any of the other long wearing foundations you ll know what I mean when it sets it s for good You have to blend quickly or it streaks and you need a fairly potent cleanser to remove it completely It finally took a cotton pad soaked in eye makeup remover plus a regular cleanser and toner to cut through it If you have oily skin or an oily T zone that shines through most foundations this one from Almay just might be your answer It controls oil yet feels comfortable without caking clumping or turning colors Amazing Lasting also doesn t smear in humid weather and it won t come off on your clothes If you have very dry skin you may experience some tightness as the day wears on but for normal slightly oily or combination skin that needs a long wearing medium coverage foundation Almay s Amazing Lasting is a good choice Maybelline has finally joined Origins Clinique Prestige Lord Berry and L Oreal to name a few with their new Lip Express lipstick and liner in one around 3 99 at drugstores and supermarkets Just like the others Lip Express comes packaged like a thick pencil lipliner that can be used as both liner and color I choose Rocket Ruby a beautiful true red from a collection of about a dozen colors and tested it through countless Diet Cokes afternoon snacks and cups of coffee to see if it would stick around The formula is creamy like regular lipstick but demi matte like a long wearing formula Even after eating or drinking I still had a nice stain of color on my lips that didn t crumble or crack I would choose Lip Express over those dry long wearing lipsticks any day Over the past few weeks I ve enjoyed reviewing bath and body products so well that this week I couldn t resist trying Kneipp s Sparkling Herbal Bath around 1 99 at drugstores and supermarkets in melissa relaxing formula one of several fragrances If you ve ever dreamed of having a mini jacuzzi right in your own tub this is it This effervescent tablet combines a bubbling and fizzing action great for sore muscles with a tantalizing citrus mint fragrance This a bath experience you ll want to make time for Fall is definitely settling in here in the Pacific Northwest so I have begun my search as I do every year for a good fall winter cleanser The cooler weather almost constant rain and overall environmental assault on my skin always make it drier and more sensitive I decided after my disappointment with Bath Body Works Creamy Cleanser from the new Face line that I would try their Foaming Wash 8 for 6 ounces instead Bath Body Works is great about returning anything that doesn t work for your skin so I knew I was covered if it was too drying Well the bad news is I did return it For someone with dry skin cleansers that foam or lather can be too stripping and drying as this one was for me The good news is this is an effective cleanser that works best for normal combination or even oily skin If you haven t visited Bath Body Works lately this new line is simple reasonably priced and worth a look Ever since my trip to New York City in February I have used and enjoyed products from a little boutique in SoHo called Face Stockholm Theirs was the first bottle of liquid foundation I have ever finished and their joy eyeshadow is a permanent fixture in my eye makeup collection When I learned they introduced a line of skin care I thought what better place than Face to find a good fall winter cleanser Since I don t have a Face store or counter near me I took a chance on ordering over the phone After talking about my skin type with a salesperson at Face for several minutes I decided on the Aloe Cleansing Lotion 18 for 8 ounces for normal sensitive dry or youth skin whatever youth skin means About two weeks later my package arrived and I was eager to try my new cleanser The product packaging is simple and the ingredient list short The first thing I noticed as I opened the bottle was how strong the lavender oil fragrance was even though it s near the end of the ingredient list Lavender and rosemary oils have an almost astringent property that really aren t beneficial to dry or sensitive skin I really wanted to like this cleanser since I ve liked many other Face Stockholm products but it didn t do a very good job of removing my makeup and it left a strange filmy feeling on my skin like some sort of coating was left behind in the rinse cycle Not my idea of clean The Makeup Diva is In Makeup sponge or fingertips which is better for applying foundation Miss Diva enlightens

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT October 2 1998 I get dozens of questions every week from readers like you asking about foundation what are the best brands colors formulas for every skin type and beauty concern you can think of I ve tried more brands than I can count and I know there are even more out there that deserve a look Over the next few weeks I plan to bring you a review or two every issue of a new or especially worthwhile foundation and hopefully even some to avoid As a slight change of pace this week I ve got reviews of a cream concealer and a pressed powder to go with your favorite foundation Over the next few weeks we ll be back on track with a review of Almay s new Amazing Lasting Sheer Makeup as well as Prescriptives new Photochrome Light Adjusting Compact Makeup Almost as important as foundation concealer is one of the few cosmetic products that can make you instantly look well rested younger and maybe even blemish free The right concealer can cover redness smooth uneven skin tone and make dark circles seem to disappear like magic I have heard some praise from readers like you about Estee Lauder s Smoothing Cream Concealer 16 living up to these expectations of near perfection so I decided to try it Unfortunately it just didn t work for me I don t have many lines around my eyes yet but this concealer managed to hunt them down and sink right into them making me look tired and wrinkly For other areas of the face like blotchy spots or broken capillaries it s okay but not my favorite I find liquid formulas like this are more difficult to work with and just don t last as long as a thicker cream or stick An unfortunate thumbs down Do you like to have fun with your makeup If so the newest pressed powder from Estee Lauder the Attitude Compact 32 50 is definitely for you Hold your thumb down on the lid of the compact for ten seconds and it changes color according to your mood actually it s your body temperature You ll find out if you are cheerful blue calm green hesitant brown or just plain stressed black After you know just how centered you are open up the compact and check your makeup it comes complete with a tiny version of EL s Lucidity pressed powder in translucent This is definitely a fun treat or gift for a fellow makeup junkie When Cosmetic Connection Panelist Elaine recently tried Terax Italian hair care I was already curious about the products After reading how much she enjoyed many of them I couldn t resist trying a couple myself For my naturally blonde hair I chose Fior Di Camomilla chamomile Shampoo around 10 for 8 4oz and really like it It s a great daily shampoo for somewhat dry hair and it does a nice job of subtly enhancing natural blonde tones To complement the shampoo I selected Terax s signature conditioner Crema Treatment Conditioner 16 for 5 ounce tube This stuff is fabulous A pea sized dab will leave your hair soft manageable and silky With regular use you ll barely recognize

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT October 1 1999 Now that it is officially autumn I thought it would be a great time to share with you some of the new fall colors at the counters now To kick it off this week I ve got a review of Urban Decay s new colors plus an update to my Peter Thomas Roth review and a sneak peek at an upcoming review of Body Soul cosmetics Enjoy Urban Decay Fall Colors Back when Urban Decay first got started and green nail polish was all the rage I owned a bottle of Roach and a bottle of Asphyxia and I felt oh so alternative Thankfully you don t have to sport blue or green nails to be in these days and UD is forging ahead with some great new wearable shades for fall This new collection cleverly named YDK hehe a little millennium humor has pleasing shades of mocha fuchsia and purple that you can wear to the office to a party or just hanging around the house Here s the lowdown Eyes YDK Acid Rain Big Bang and Crash shadows Crash liquid liner My personal favorite is YDK a light mocha with gold shimmer Crash is also really cool as a liner All the UD shadows are soft silky easy to blend and last well throughout the day Lips available in lipstick and gloss YDK Big Bang YDK is too brown for my taste and Big Bang while a beautiful color is not what I d call an everyday shade I d say check them out for yourself to see if they suit you Nails YDK Acid Rain and Big Bang I love love love YDK and Big Bang polish colors YDK is a gorgeous neutral with a hint of gold while Big Bang is a stunning fuchsia I like to wear YDK on my fingernails and Big Bang on my toes looked great with sandals this summer For more information including counter locations and true to life color swatches and descriptions visit http www urbandecay com whatsnew html Peter Thomas Roth Update After my first review of PTR I wanted to explore a few other products that I thought might be better for my skin PTR Botanical Buffing Beads 30 for 8 ounces I first tried the Silica Strawberry Scrub from PTR and really didn t like how rough it is The Botanical Buffing Beads scrub is legions better gel base lightly foaming with tiny spherical jojoba exfoliating beads It s super gentle great for any skin type and has whole leaf aloe vera so it s soothing You also need the tiniest amount for your whole face so an 8 ounce bottle will last a long time PTR Chamomile Cleansing Lotion 30 for 8 ounces I thought for sure with a name like cleansing lotion that this would be a creamy milky sort of cleanser but was I ever wrong It s really a lightly foaming cream with a hint of chamomile It does a good job of cleansing removes all makeup and leaves the skin feeling really soft and supple which is nice You also only need a pea sized dab to clean your whole face but I still think for what you get a fairly basic cleanser 30 is pretty steep PTR Aloe Tonic 30 for 8 ounces This is another fairly basic product but in the case of a toner I think basic is good I like the very short ingredient list here water whole leaf aloe vera vitamins preservative and I found the aloe to be very soothing With no alcohol no fragrance and no colors this is a decent but spendy choice if you have sensitive skin PTR is available online at Drugstore com eve com and dots2 com Soon to be Reviewed Body Soul Cosmetics I recently had the pleasure of trying the Body Soul cosmetic line at my local Nordstrom and I am really looking forward to doing a review Unlike most lines Body Soul doesn t pretend to be for everybody this is a line for the true makeup lover From rich and glamorous nail polish shades to foundation packaged in retro perfume style bottles Body Soul is all about feeling beautiful with makeup In a few weeks I ll be reviewing Beauty Makeup I got the lightest 1 shade Two

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT September 27 1996 The Cosmetic Connection is pleased to announce that The Cosmetic Report is now a weekly report coming to you every Friday straight to your email box This week I undertook the sometimes grueling often exciting task of finding a new skin care routine for fall winter The products I used over the summer are just too drying now that the weather is changing If you are facing the same challenge be sure to check out my reviews at Heather s Wide World of Samples at http www kleinman com cosmetic tips html You can read the reviews of the products I tried as well as which products I declared the winners Speaking of new products I recently found a new version of an old favorite that is definitely worth mentioning For two years now I have been a faithful user of the Tea Tree Oil Blemish Stick from the Body Shop a great anti acne gel that comes in a tube with a sponge applicator About a week ago I discovered something better a more concentrated version of the oil also from the Body Shop that you apply with a cotton swab The bottle sells for about 3 50 US lasts a lot longer than the stick and is more sanitary because you use a fresh cotton swab every time For that occasional breakout I highly recommend this product Thanks to everyone who has signed the Cosmetic Connection guestbook Before the end of this month I will select two winners to receive a Cosmetic Connection Beauty Pack If you have not yet signed the guestbook and would like to be eligible to win this month you still have a few days to give me your comments For the close of this week s report I d like to introduce The Cosmetic Poll a periodic survey on beauty related topics The results of every poll will be shared in the following month s report This month s

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT September 25 1998 I get dozens of questions every week from readers like you asking about foundation what are the best brands colors formulas for every skin type and beauty concern you can think of I ve tried more brands than I can count and I know there are even more out there that deserve a look Over the next few weeks I plan to bring you a review or two every issue of a new or especially worthwhile foundation and hopefully even some to avoid This week s report is chock full of foundation reviews thanks to new products from Garden Botanika and the newest line from Shiseido 5S Shiseido s newest line 5S launched a few months ago at their flagship store in New York City 5S is a complete skincare and makeup line that represents the five senses of well being as they correspond to the moods of your body and mind using therapeutic colors scents herbs and flower extracts The 5S philosophy about beauty is Have fun so their color products are simply packaged and designed to use just about anywhere on the face Since I don t live in NYC and couldn t browse the store shelves I picked a few products in a few of the different senses to get a feel for how the line works All the five basic skincare products cleanser solution total wash soap bubble and powder come in each of the five senses but it gets a little complicated from there Each of the five senses is broken down into two versions one for mind and one for body for a total of ten options If you choose purifying from the main five senses you then choose again between refreshing for the mind and equalizing for the body to get the product you want Thankfully 5S does a great job of explaining each sense and approach so you get just the experience you are looking for check out the interactive sensory game on the 5S website that helps you get in touch with your emotional or physical states located under own your senses Foam Cleanser in cool 10 All the foaming cleansers are basically the same except for the fragrance and they are all similar to Shiseido s cleansers from their regular line As someone who has shunned foaming cleansers for years because they were too drying I am becoming a believer with several like this one that have evolved to care for the skin without stripping it The 5S cleanser removes makeup and the daily grime effectively without drying the skin yippee Basic Solution in toning cool equalizing and rehydrate 5 for 50ml 1 6oz 17 for 200ml These are not toners not fresheners and not exactly moisturizers either 5S calls the Basic Solution a gel type treatment lotion but I call them soothing and refreshing Toning is an orange gel with fennel extract that has a slightly tightening astringent property Cool is an aqua blue gel with a small amount camphor and menthol that is appropriately cooling without being too tingly Equalizing is a clear gel that balances and soothes when your skin feels sensitive and Rehydrate is a light pink gel lotion from the nurturing sense designed to lightly moisturize the skin I liked Equalizing and Rehydrate the best Total Wash in empowering 10 I love body washes in the shower instead of bar soap and this is a great one You only need a squirt or two on a puff or sponge for long lasting lather and the fragrances are just heavenly The one I chose has peppermint and rosemary guaranteed to wake you up Skin Smoother 12 5S also addresses specific skin issues like breakouts and dehydrated skin with a collection of reinforcements including Wrinkle Cream Blemish Treatment Eye Gel and more This gel scrub with natural mineral salts is great if you like to use a scrub everyday but worry about using something too harsh The mineral salts dissolve as you massage and leave the skin feeling smooth and fresh Base Color foundation with SPF12 15 Since I couldn t see the colors in person choosing the right shade was a little difficult but I do like the consistency and finish of this oil free cream gel foundation Depending on your skin type this foundation will wear differently if you have normal or slightly oily skin it will appear dewy whereas if you are dry the look will be more demi matte unless you apply a fair amount of moisturizer beforehand The cream gel texture spreads very easily delivers sheer coverage and seems to bond with the skin for a no makeup look and feel Stick Color 12 Powder Color 10 and Pencil Color 9 Here is where you really get to have some fun Now the 5S stands for five shades of color light subtle neutral deep and vivid Each product comes in a variety of colors in each range of shades meaning you could have a stick color in a concealer shade from the neutral range as well as a stick color in a vibrant lip gloss from the vivid range The powders come in 36 colors and can be used on eyes and cheeks as well as all over the face using a flesh shade from the neutral range The pencils come 30 shades and various sizes and can be used on eyes lips as concealer whatever all depending on what shade you choose I loved playing with all the colors I got and the mix and match products are perfect for simplifying your makeup routine For more information about the 5S philosophy product line and contact details for their only location at 98 Prince Street in New York s SoHo district visit their website at http www five s com I was never that pleased with the liquid foundations from Garden Botanika but now I ve found two products from them that I can be excited about The new Foundation Stick 15 is a great product for those of us who like a bit more coverage or who need a creamier formula for dry skin It comes in 5 colors porcelain linen macadamia sand and honey has medium coverage is totally portable and can be used as a concealer or all over makeup Now that autumn is officially here a creamy stick foundation like this will really come in handy as everyone s skin gets a bit drier Compared to some other stick foundation brands the texture is most similar to Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick very slightly drier than Estee Lauder Minute Makeup and creamier than Prescriptives Exact Matchstick If you prefer a lighter feel and less coverage from your makeup Garden Botanika s new Tinted Moisturizer 8 50 is another great new product The lightweight formula comes in 4 colors porcelain macadamia sand and honey and has SPF 8 sun protection I would like to see more colors in the future but if you can find one that works for you I wear macadamia this is a nice product for the woman on the go or for a more minimal makeup look on the weekend What

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT September 24 1999 It never ceases to amaze me how many new products there are out there that I ve yet to try I ve added this week s finds to my personal makeup bag Shu Uemura Mark Cealer 19 Do you ever get the sense that everyone is talking about a particular product That s the vibe I got about this concealer from Shu Uemura During a recent trip to San Francisco s Sephora I finally picked up a tube of this amazing stuff Packaged like many other cream concealers in a tube with a sponge applicator wand but that s where the similarities end Mark Cealer a kooky name if you ask me has opaque coverage that isn t thick or mask y I am continuously amazed at how little I need to cover dark circles or red spots on my face My best advice is be sparing Once you get the hang of it you can easily use it instead of foundation on a pretty good skin day when you have just a few things to hide Set with a little powder and you re ready to go At first I thought 19 was spendy for concealer but considering how long this tube will last me and how good it makes my skin look I don t mind the price You can find Shu Uemura products at select fine department stores Bliss Spa in NYC Sephora and online at Visage Beauty Boutique Stila Lip Polish 28 Although I think Stila is pricing this and the Convertible Color below a bit steep I do like the texture colors and delivery system of this lipcolor The lipcolor is inside a slim silver tube that has a lipbrush on one end a few twists at the base sends the color up the tube and onto the brush Christian Dior has a product like this too You can line and fill in with just a few strokes but what I like the best is the feel somewhere between a gloss and a lipstick It is my current lipstick addiction I have a tube of Brilliance a cool pinky nude in my purse and a tube of Luster a sheer medium rose in my vanity makeup bag Lip Polish also comes in Varnish Glaze Sheen and Shine Even if the price seems a bit much stop by your local Stila counter to at least try it on I think you ll like it as much as I do Stila Convertible Color 28 I also like this dual cheek and lip color but I think Stila is off the mark with the price Between 15 20 would be a more reasonable range in my opinion Convertible Color is a creamy but surprisingly sheer wash of color that you can use both on cheeks and lips It comes in a very pretty small mirrored compact that is the same color as the product inside I had the pleasure of trying the 3 newest shades Orchid Poppy and Rose and found them all to be very flattering giving my skin a natural glow For me Convertible Color lasts longer on my cheeks than my lips but since the formula is so light I didn t mind putting more color on my lips to touch up during the day I was also surprised that I could put Convertible Color on my cheeks OVER foundation and powder without it caking or clumping This is a nice bonus since most cream blush has to be applied on bare skin which never works for me These new shades along with Camellia Magnolia and Peony are available now at your local Stila counter call 1 800 883 0400 for locations EyeTip Eyeshadows and B Box Lipcolor 7 50 each When I saw these at Sephora I thought What a clever idea Each box has 6 Qtip type plastic swabs with a coating of color on the end There are two different complementary colors 3 swabs of each packaged in a plastic tray in each box For lips I got Tea Silk Iced Mocha I found it to be very creamy and easy to apply but also very easy to smoosh if you aren t careful If you use the swab to draw the color right on your lips it works great if you try to use your finger or if you press it too hard on your lips you ll see how soft the lipstick really is Mine got smooshed when I couldn t get it all the way back in the tray so I tried gently pushing it down with my finger Oops For eyes I wanted something neutral so I chose British Khaki Taupe British Khaki is a light beige and Taupe is medium uh taupe duh The eyeshadow is silky and a little shimmery but unfortunately not creaseless by mid afternoon some of the color from my lid had wandered into the crease and collected there The swab design makes me want to just draw it right on my eyes but they give you a sponge applicator also Is that for applying or blending I wonder There are no directions on the box so I did a mix of both For the light color that I wanted all over my lid I found using the sponge applicator to pick up color from the swab and then applying it to my skin worked the best With the darker color I used it like a pencil liner to draw the color directly from the swab onto my skin All in all EyeTips and B Box are nifty and fun probably best for traveling or to have in your purse I can t see using them instead of traditional products on a daily basis at home SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT September 18 1998 I get dozens of questions every week from readers like you asking about foundation what are the best brands colors formulas for every skin type and beauty concern you can think of I ve tried more brands than I can count and I know there are even more out there that deserve a look Over the next few weeks I plan to bring you a review or two every issue of a new or especially worthwhile foundation and hopefully even some to avoid This week s foundation search led me to Revlon s new Even Out Makeup around 10 a sheer lightweight formula that after trying it makes me think Why bother The coverage is so thin I wonder what s the point of putting it on at all This is one of those foundations that is so sheer it really works best for someone with perfect skin but then why do you want to bother with foundation at all if your skin is perfect It seems pointless to me and a complete dud that you shouldn t waste your money on Next week in our foundation series look for reviews of the new Foundation Stick and Tinted Moisturizer from Garden Botanika I ve been using them for just over a week and so far so good I can t remember a fall season with more colors to choose from than this one I recently picked up a few shades from BeneFit s new fall collection and have been gearing up for the cold weather just to start wearing these great new hues BeneFit s fall colors include four new lipsticks 14 each rockin betty medium grape purple reel me rhonda slightly sheer purple similar to rockin betty ruby vibes medium blue red my favorite of the collection and bag me baby medium copper brown For you gloss lovers the new jelly shade 12 is just as deliciously grape y as it sounds For eyes the two new cream shadows 13 each in nina s nugget light shimmery gold and fantasy trip outrageously deep purple are nice complements to the lipstick shades In my opinion BeneFit makes one of the best creaseless cream shadows available and they come in a gorgeous assortment of colors Also new from BeneFit are two skin related products Dr Feelgood and F Y eye Dr Feelgood 24 is sort of like a cream version of oil blotting papers It comes in a tin with a sponge and is meant to be used over your makeup or alone to maintain a matte oil free finish I was skeptical at first but I really like it much better than pressed powder It adds no extra color or makeup it only removes the shine without making your skin look powdery or chalky For any degree of oily skin Dr Feelgood is worth checking out For veiny or unevenly colored eyelids F Y eye 18 is a handy eye cream and makeup base in one The salmon pink shade neutralizes uneven color and creates a smooth base to help your shadow last longer Although I like this cream I think the only benefit it has over a regular concealer is the salmon color which may look more natural and makeup free on some skin tones nice if you wear minimal makeup or for the weekend I think for everyday I ll stick to a separate eye cream and skintone concealer for the curious I m currently using Clarins Extra Firming Eye Contour Cream and Estee Lauder Uncircle Concealer For more information on

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT September 17 1999 This week our focus is on new new new From a unique liquid makeup from Profaces to a worthy cause from Three Custom Color Specialists if you don t find something in this report that you can t live without we need to check you for a pulse Enjoy Profaces Liquid to Powder Foundation 24 95 From the folks at Profaces who brought you makeup artist quality color kits and professional brushes at wallet friendly prices comes a brand new and I think unique liquid to powder makeup Most foundations that are called liquid to powder are actually a cream in a compact this is in fact a liquid that turns into a powdery finish on your skin The texture is silky and has very good coverage even on hard to cover areas like redness or dark circles The one aspect of this makeup that stands out to me is that it is not for someone who never wears makeup or doesn t like the feel of makeup on their skin This foundation is for the true makeup lover who appreciates the way a product looks and feels If you are the kind of person who uses her fingers to blend her foundation or eye shadow because a brush feels too detached this makeup is for you Product details Silicone based oil free but does contain beeswax with vitamins A and E Should work well for any skin type but very oily skin might like some loose powder to stay shine free Comes in five shades 1 For light porcelain to pale beige with cool undertones 2 For light to medium neutral beige with warm undertones 3 Neutral beige to medium beige with warm undertones 4 Deep beige with golden undertones 5 For dark skin with cool undertones Should you decide to buy a bottle online you ll also get a free pink flocked sponge with your first purchase For details and ordering visit http www profaces com products foundations htm Urban Decay Surreal Skin 4 in 1 Powder Foundation 25 If powder foundation is your passion this is the best one I ve found in a long time even better than MAC Studio Fix Why Surreal Skin feels really light and natural and it truly works for all skin types I also absolutely LOVE the compact slim silver plastic with a mirror in the lid and a clear plastic hinged cover over the powder so you can store your sponge in the compact without it stewing in the makeup Clever The sponge is also a perky purple rather than boring old beige As for the makeup itself I wore it every day for several weeks and never tired of it No matter what my skin looked like in the morning it always looked a little brighter and fresher after using Surreal Skin The powder doesn t clump if you layer it on it doesn t dry out the skin or call attention to any already dry areas and the finish is never pastey or powdery Surreal Skin comes in 6 neutral colors Apparition Vision Hallucination Mirage Dream and Fantasy I personally wear Apparition For more information or to order online visit the Urban Decay site at http www urbandecay com catalog foundation html Three Custom Color Specialists 3C for Women 22 50 I ve reviewed quite a few 3C products like their lipstick palettes and warm cool lipstick colors but this time they re working to fight breast cancer with a brand

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT September 11 1998 After a lengthy hiatus from testing skin care products my poor face needed a break I am pleased to be able to share my latest product findings with you From the Emerald Isle of Ireland I recently discovered a great selection of botanical skin care and makeup from a company called Nectar Cosmetics I ll also be reviewing a few of their hair care products in an upcoming report Aloe Vera Plus Rinse Away Cleansing Mousse 9 95 for 3 4 ounces The Aloe Vera line is designed for normal combination skin and contains at least 10 aloe and a sea mineral complex of bladderwrack clay freshwater mud irish sea moss and algae extracts to help balance your skin This mousse cleanser is one of only a few I ve ever used that I really liked It feels silky removes makeup and the daily grime very well rinses off easily and completely and leaves your skin feeling clean not dry Aloe Vera Plus Instant Skin Freshener 9 95 for 8 4 ounces A very refreshing alcohol free toner with the same aloe and sea mineral complex I found it calmed some of the red inflammed areas of my face that are typically irritated by other toners Aloe Vera Plus Daily Moisture Fluid 11 95 for 8 4 ounces A little goes a long way with this lotion so be sparing It s lightweight fresh smelling and gives normal combination skin just enough moisture for daily wear Tea Tree Plus Wild Herbs Hydrolotion 8 75 for 2 5 ounces The Tea Tree Oil range is for oily or blemished skin and acts as an antibacterial to help clear up pimples and hopefully prevent new ones The products contain at least 1 tea tree oil and a wild herbs complex of sage chamomile witch hazel and hawthorn extracts to help control oil without overdrying the skin If you have oily or blemish prone skin and have been helped by tea tree oil before this is an excellent line The Hydrolotion is actually an alcohol free gel moisturizer that feels very refreshing on the skin and delivers just the right amount of moisture with a hefty dose of tea tree oil Personally since my skin reacts to tea tree oil I can t use this line but it is wonderful for skin that can tolerate it Tea Tree Plus Wild Herbs Blemish Control Stick 7 50 When you do get a pimple this roll on tea tree oil liquid is a great spot treatment Since the oil isn t greasy it absorbs almost instantly into the skin to go to work on those blemishes anytime of day Vitamin E Plus Wheatgerm Rinse Away Cleansing Mousse 9 95 for 3 4 ounces The vitamin E line is formulated for dry mature skin and contains wheatgerm oil evening primrose oil horse chestnut and a vitamin complex to moisturize protect and help reduce the signs of aging With autumn right around the corner I ve enjoyed using these products on those areas of my face that are starting to dry out a bit The cleansing mousse is identical in texture and cleansing ability to the Aloe Vera version above but this one has the more moisturizing wheatgerm evening primrose and horse chestnut oils to leave drier skin soft and supple Vitamin E Plus Wheatgerm Instant Skin Freshener 9 95 for 8 4 ounces Even for dry skin this alcohol free freshener is very soothing and helps loosen dry flaky patches of skin before you apply your moisturizer Advanced Fruit AHAs Shea Cream 17 95 for 1 8 ounce jar Nectar also has some advanced skin care products that can supplement the others for your skin type This cream acts as a gentle AHA exfoliant with tartaric acid from grapes and malic acid from apples and a rich moisturizer with shea butter I found the cream to be surprisingly lightweight and non greasy If you have been using AHAs in medium to high concentrations in the past this one might not be strong enough for you but it s a great introduction to AHAs or for someone with slightly sensitive skin Pineapple Avocado Face Scrub If you like a very scrubby facial scrub this one with tiny avocado stones is for you Sensitive skins beware this is not as gentle as it looks Although this scrub is fairly abrasive it does leave the skin incredibly smooth and polished and it has a great fruity scent I like it but I still recommend using a gentle touch so you don t overscrub For more information about Nectar visit their website at http www nectar cosmetics com They have convenient online ordering and information on their store locations around the world unfortunately none here in the US During a regular trip to the drugstore recently I picked up a tube of Almay s new One Coat Lipcolor around 8 to see if it really does deliver smooth even color in just one swipe To my delight it does and it feels creamy light and lasts pretty well with just a few touch ups now and then The impressive selection of 30 shades means there is a perfect color for your every mood If drawing on picture perfect lips isn t your forte this lipstick definitely makes it easier Fall is here and so are some gorgeous collections of new colors Read all about the newest

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT September 9 1999 This week I m pleased to invite back our Panelist Deanna as a featured contributor Deanna recently tried Models Prefer makeup and skin care sold on QVC With the popularity of infomercial cosmetic lines taking off I know many of you will be very interested in her findings Learn more about Deanna here Take it away Deanna A ttention QVC shoppers I know you re out there don t try to hide You ve probably seen the Models Prefer line on QVC Currently this is the only place that you can buy this brand of cosmetics The company s founder and President Stacey Scheiffelin a former international high fashion model actually sits in on the television presentations of her products bare faced and in curlers Then using her line of cosmetics makes the transformation The line is targeted for busy women of all types is designed to simplify everyday beauty routines The company emphasizes a back to basics approach with products that produce maximum results with minimal effort all at an affordable price in neutral colors that will suit anyone I rarely mention product packaging in my reviews I m more of a results kind of a person however some of the packaging of these products is extremely innovative Also each product comes with a pamphlet entitled tips of the trade which suggests product use techniques Hands Free Light Diffusing Foundation and Sponge Applicator 2oz for 19 94 plus s h The foundation comes in three colors light medium and dark It also comes with a good quality diamond shaped sponge applicator I chose the Dark which like many QVC product descriptions actually means tan olive toned This product is water based and contains a SPF 8 sunscreen Vitamins A and E and happily no comedogenic ingredients The liquid foundation is in a tube the end covered by with a small applicator sponge designed to evenly spread the foundation over the T zone to reduce the amount of product needed to cover the face It worked well providing sheer to medium coverage that was a natural looking matte finish without a caking I found it held up very well without turning orange even on my oily skin in Maryland s heat and humidity I don t know about the light diffusing aspects but I will say this is the only foundation I ve tried that did not grab or emphasize my wrinkly eyelids and provided a nice base to powder eye shadow The drawbacks the foundation only comes in three colors and although I was able to achieve a close match with the Dark in the winter I will probably have to use a combination of Dark and Medium to get a good color match Flawless Neutralizing Powder and Kabuki Style Brush 1 25oz for 18 00 plus s h This is a talc based finishing powder Colorwise it s between a Bobbi Brown Pale Yellow and a T LeClerc Banane The powder is made in Italy and is extremely fine Given that the powder is talc based I was surprised that this powder did not cake or streak like some others I ve tried and it lasted well throughout the day with only one touch up It comes in a cone shaped container with a Kabuki style powder brush A little of this product is all you ll need just what you will shake out into the lid through four small holes in a screen attached to the top of the powder container so it will definitely last a while The drawbacks pitch the brush and use your own too many flying hairs Blend and Conceal Concealer and half moon sponge applicator 16 00 plus s h This silver compact actually contains three different colors a light ivory pink a medium warm yellow and a darker tan By blending the medium and dark colors more medium than dark I was able to conceal my under eye dark circles quite well and it lasted throughout the day This product contains no comedogenic ingredients I found the light ivory pink shade to be a nice brow bone highlighter so I did find a use for it The half moon sponge fits into the compact and is a nice quality it didn t fall apart on me even after multiple washing The drawbacks the product did have a little drag a bit more than some others I ve used especially on the under eye area but dampening the applicator sponge with water fixed that problem Grater Bronzer with powder brush 35oz for 24 98 plus s h I have only taken to wearing bronzers in the last four years or so when I began to shun sunlight This product has replaced my old bronzer as a definite favorite It has a grater on top of it that allows you to shave from the compact underneath only the amount you d need for one application The powder is very fine and soft and gives a natural sun kissed look without turning orange It s also a great contouring powder Best of all no comedogenic ingredients The brush is soft a better quality than the powder brush Automatic Eyebrow Pencil 2 pencils for 14 71 plus s h Since I don t have a naturally high brow arch eyebrow pencils are important to me These eyebrow pencils were described in American Marie Claire magazine March 1999 as goof proof I ll have to say I agree These pencils require no sharpening and are very soft With no drag the color blended right into the hairs to accent my brows It is a universal taupe color that could go with just about any hair color depending on how it s used The brow brush is built in with the pencil at the other end with a cover that fits tightly and doesn t come off in my cosmetic bag A definite plus in my book Blush Duo 16 25 plus s h The blush duo compact is the same silver compact as the concealer withstwo blushes of the same color but different formulations One is a cream and the other is a powder It comes in two colors Racy Rose pink and Tempting Tangerine peach I chose the tangerine color The blush had good staying power even on my oily skin but I found it was even better when I layered the cream under the powder It s a pretty blush natural looking and matte however it does contain ascorbyl palmitate a comedogenic ingredient It is listed pretty far down on the ingredient list so there isn t much I was able to use this blush with no problems so my suggestion is to try it and if you find that you are breaking out in the cheekbone area return it Also the cream does have a little drag to it so dampening the applicator is necessary Four in One Eye Collection 16 00 plus s h The collection consists of two tubes with different products at each end One tube is waterproof mascara and thickening mascara both in black The other tube is clear brow gel and liquid eyeliner in black frost The mascara brushes are the Christmas tree type and work well Both mascaras performed well with no flaking The eyeliner is what caught my attention I hadn t used liquid liner in a long time and I was worried that the combination of frost and liquid liner would age my eyes Not so this liner actually enhanced my eyes making them pop without aging them It did not look hard peel or flake problems I ve had with liquids in the past It is possible to smudge the liner if you prefer but it does take a steady hand and you ll need to do it while its still slightly wet once it s dry it s there to stay All in all I m very impressed with the Models Prefer line It performed very well and was in my opinion an excellent value So far I ve found it to be a great line of affordable basics Altogether there are about 25 products If you watch the TV presentations one piece of advice if you see something you like call quickly These products constantly sell out You can find these products at www qvc com or by calling 1 800 455 8845 you can request a catalogue of the 13 most wanted and it has

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT September 4 1998 Like any good makeup junkie I am always searching for products that are different useful or just plain cool I recently discovered a line of hair care that truly has a unique niche hemp seed oil No it s not what you re thinking Alterna salon hair care with hemp seed oil is completely drug free and contains only the oil from the plant seed which has fatty acids that are excellent at conditioning and preventing moisture loss Sounds good to me Have a look at a few of the products I tried Hemp Seed Shampoo 12 75 for 10 1 ounces First of all I have to comment on the shapes of the packaging of these products very retro looking long neck bottles in reds yellows and greens You ll be thinking lava lamps and bell bottoms in no time This is a great all purpose everyday shampoo for any type of hair The hemp seed oil does lightly moisturize but I also like to use the daily conditioner mentioned below for the best results Weekly Clarifying Shampoo 12 75 for 10 1 ounces Although this shampoo does contain an extra cleansing ingredient and does not contain any hemp seed oil I can t say it works wonders in the build up removal department For someone with slightly oily hair it could be a nice choice as a daily shampoo If you are looking for more effective deep cleaning try Origins No Deposit or ABBA Molasses Purifier instead Hemp Seed Restorative Conditioner 14 75 for 10 1 ounces I liked this conditioner very much especially together with the hemp seed oil shampoo It smooths and softens the hair without a heavy build up The bottle is pretty cool too Volumizing Spray Leave in Conditioner 11 75 for 8 5 ounces If you have fine hair prefer a spray conditioner or just need a little extra moisture this multi purpose product is a great cross between treatment and styling aid For fine hair spray it directly on the roots then comb it through for the best results One little note the very long necked bottle takes a little getting used to can be tricky to hold onto while spraying Styling Nutritive Creme Gel 10 75 for 5 1 ounces For quick and easy styling this product is one of my favorites of the line A quarter sized dab worked through the hair is just right for light control and smoothing You can use it on every type of hair wet or dry curly or straight long or short Alterna won t eliminate bad hair days or give you the movie star style you ve always dreamed of but it is a fun and effective line of products that are nicely moisturizing I give them two thumbs up For more information about Alterna visit their website at http www 4alterna com or check a salon near you Coming soon to a drugstore near you Maybelline has added True Illusion liquid to powder foundatio n around 4 to their already fantastic True Illusion liquid makeup lineup The new compact version comes in all the same colors a nice selection also has SPF10 sun protection and has a similar natural look and feel as the liquid I tried it on my truly confused skin oily in some places normal in others the occasional flaky or uneven patch and liked the lightweight feel sheer to medium coverage and slightly drier look slightly better than the liquid especially for skin on the oily side My only gripe is the enclosed sponge it stinks So thin and flimsy you just won t get the best application with it If you ve tried any other cream to powder foundations like Vincent Longo Water Canvas or Shiseido Liquid Compact I d recommend using the sponge from these instead and they will fit in the Maybelline compact Fall is here and so are some

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT September 2 1999 When I started Cosmetic Connection back in 1996 I had based the entire site on reviews of samples I had collected from cosmetic counters This week after a fruitful sample getting trip to the mall I thought it would be fun to do an all samples issue of The Cosmetic Report I hope it inspires you to go sample hunting Clarins Energizing Morning Cream 48 50 for 1 7 ounce jar You gotta love the big cosmetic companies every time you turn around they ve got some new must have cream to add to their line of 50 million other creams that they say you just can t live without Am I being to cynical Maybe it s because all these fancy new creams are always so darned expensive Energizing Morning Cream is loaded with all kinds of goodies that are supposed to energize revitalize protect stimulate and so on and so forth The label reads like a grocery list of botanical extracts like pineapple kiwi orange papaya peach hops brazillian cashew nut olive meadowsweet sage sesame manganese zinc calcium and magnesium plus an energizing complex of horsetail meadowsweet jojoba and peach AND an anti oxidant complex with vitamins B5 C E and H AND as if that wasn t enough a complex of mica silicium and titanium pigments that are radiance boosting Whew This gives a whole new meaning to feeding your face Based on just the sample alone it s hard to say if this cream will really do what Clarins claims After a few days use of the sample tube I did like the way it made my skin look well enough to give the full size jar a try so I plan to have a more complete review in October For now I can say it feels a little tingly and almost warm when you first put it on it makes my cheeks look rosey for a few minutes it soaks in fairly quickly and it left my skin feeling soft and supple all day without oiliness So far so good as a moisturizer but I m not convinced that all those vitamins and things are really doing anything I ll let you know next month Erno Laszlo Sea Mud Scrub 36 I got a sample of this in a recent eve com order and it s actually the first Laszlo product I ve tried The sample packet was rather small so I could only get one use out of it but I liked the texture and the way it made my skin feel soft and smooth The scrub beads are tiny spherical and made from jojoba oil while the base contains sea mud and plant extracts like aloe algae ginkgo biloba arnica horse chestnut pine needle kiwi lemongrass and papaya It also has quite a few synthetic ingredients you ll find in most products these days which is fine as long as you don t expect this product to be all natural I doubt I would buy the full size tube though because I don t think it s special enough to spend over 30 Xpressions Minted Gel Cleanser Although not technically samples I found these great trial size products at a local drugstore Although I don t tend to like products with excessive mint too irritating this one is fairly subtle but still be careful around the eyes and is a nice cleanser to have in the shower for a little morning pick me up Because you only need the tiniest amount to get a decent lather I have made the half ounce tube last for well over a week Don t believe all the claims about its AHA exfoliating ability though the fruit extracts like sugar cane apple and orange aren t real AHAs and they aren t on the skin long enough to do any exfoliating Xpressions Skin Prep Refresher This is basically a toner with menthol which can be irritating to the skin It also has aloe rosemary orange sugar cane lemon and green tea I probably wouldn t buy this in the full size for myself but if you really like that minty fresh feeling on your skin this toner isn t a bad choice at least it s alcohol free Xpressions Daily Energizer I was surprised at how much I liked this lightweight gel The blend of AHAs lactic and glycolic acids and BHA salicylic acid made a quick and noticeable improvement in the smoothness of my skin Of the three Xpressions products I tried this one was my favorite I love lightweight products like this in the summer and I could definitely see layering it under a moisturizer when it gets cooler If you are looking for a gentle but effective exfoliating product this one is worth a look For more information on Xpressions products you can reach the main company Skin Essentials at 1 800

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT August 31 1998 No you did not miss an issue of The Cosmetic Report last Friday Since I just got back from vacation on Sunday this week we ll bring you a Happy Monday and a Happy Friday Back about a month ago before I declared my face a test free zone for a few months for skin care products I had the opportunity to try a vitamin E skin care line called L Evantage If you are looking for a truly natural skin care routine L Evantage just might be it for you All the products contain natural vitamin E extracted from sunflowers and they are free of the gums synthetic waxes mineral oil harsh chemicals fragrance or preservatives that many mainstream products contain L Evantage also does no animal testing and the products contain no animal based ingredients The prices are a little high in my opinion but I did see a noticeable improvement in my skin after just a few days Here s the skinny on their basic skin care Herbal Wash 16 95 for 4 ounces Even if you shy away from foaming cleansers this one will change your mind Whether you use it with their sea sponge or alone it does a great job of removing makeup and daily grime without drying or stripping the skin Herbal Wash does contain quite a few botanical extracts like spearmint orange ylang ylang and lavender so be cautious if you have sensitive skin Botanical Spray 18 95 for 4 ounces I have a hard time recommending an aloe and rosewater spray that costs almost 20 but there s no denying it does feel great on the skin While I liked it I would sooner buy something less expensive and put it in a spray bottle Moisturizer 22 95 for one ounce jar The L Evantage day moisturizers come in two strengths one for sensitive skin less strong and one for normal skin I tried the normal version and was very pleased with the results After just a few days most of my acne blemishes cleared up and my skin had a healthier more even toned glow The cream is lightweight enough for most skin types may be a bit heavy for very oily skin Night Renewal 26 95 for one ounce jar Like the day creams the night creams come in two versions one for younger skin 25 50 and one for more mature skin 50 The reasoning is the older the skin the more damage it could have from the environment and various irritants The Renewal version I used is for younger skin and again I was impressed with the improvement I saw in my skin It is a bit heavier than the day cream but doesn t feel overly oily or greasy For more information about L Evantage or to order products you can find them online at http www levantage com Tired of all the flowery girly smelling body products on the market these days Heavy Duty a new company from California has responded to women and men who are sick of smelling like a rose garden with their automotive approach to fragrance Hand Gear hand cream 15 for 3 5 ounce tube does a great job of softening your hands without a greasy afterfeel The fragrance does take some getting used to

direct links Product Finder Resource http www cosmeticconnection com shopper html Beauty Website Links http www cosmeticconnection com links html Ask The Makeup Diva http www makeupdiva com This week I ve got a few reviews of new products from L Oreal as well as something new from Three Custom Color Specialists L Oreal Plenitude Turning Point Instant Facial Scrub retail 8 99 I paid 8 29 If you patrol the drugstores like I do in search of new products I m sure you ve spotted this new scrub Unlike most scrubs you put this one on your skin when it s dry work it in a bit let it sit for a minute then rinse it off Turning Point is gel based with small spherical jojoba scrub beads that manually exfoliate as well as a beta hydroxy acid BHA ingredient capryloyl salicylic acid that basically goes into your pores and helps clear out dead skin cells that can make your skin look dull and flaky and can contribute to breakouts Turning Point also has mineral oil to give the scrub a little slip so it s more comfortable on dry skin Personally I think this scrub is gimmicky doesn t produce the dramatic results that the label claims and doesn t exfoliate as well as a regular scrub I d sooner recommend Remede Sensitive Sweep Sage Corrective Grains Youngblood Papaya Enzyme Scrub or Astara Daily Refining Scrub L Oreal Plenitude Turning Point Instant Facial Cream 11 99 Like with the scrub L Oreal promises amazing instant results with this beta hydroxy cream I just didn t see it It has the same capryloyl salicylic acid BHA as the scrub which may be gentle but just doesn t produce the dramatic results that they claim It s fine as a moisturizer but that s about it L Oreal QuickStick Face Body Blush I paid 12 29 Although I m not the biggest fan of cream blush I can never pass up trying something new The reason I don t care for cream blush is simple you almost have to have perfect skin to pull it off It works best on clean bare skin which means without foundation or concealer and without powder I don t know about you but my skin has not arrived to that level yet The iced plum color I got is very pretty sheer plum purple with the tiniest hint of gold shimmer It lasts fairly well on but again it s ideal for flawless skin that is basically normal not oily or excessively dry L Oreal HydraSoft Deeply Softening Lipcolour SPF12 I paid 10 19 With so many different types of lipstick to choose from I am amazed that anyone can make a decision anymore I guess L Oreal decided we needed another formula and HydraSoft was born I admit I tried HydraSoft with low expectations thinking it would just be another tube for the makeup wasteland I call my garage but I actually like this one It feels great on comes in a nice selection of colors I got blissful cherry and actually lasts fairly well Every day I tried it I put it on in the morning wore it for a few hours then ate lunch after which I expected that perky cherry color to be completely gone but it wasn t It did soften to more of a stain like finish but there was enough color left that I didn t have to reapply right away One last note about these new L Oreal products Is it just me or are drugstore products like these getting more and more expensive Drugstore used to mean inexpensive but I do not consider 12 for blush to be inexpensive Several department store or boutique lines sell their blush at close to the same price Lorac 14 Garden Botanika 9 50 Stila 14 What gives Okay enough ranting for now Three Custom Color Specialists A Century in Red 45 I have had the pleasure of trying and reviewing several lip color products from 3C over the last few years and now they are tempting me with something new Anyone who knows me knows I have an affinity for red lipstick and red nail polish every time I get a manicure I get red polish This new A Century in Red lipstick palette takes the cake in my book With ten shades from bell epoque a 1910s rich red stain to futura 3C s look at red for the future a scarlet gloss with a hint of platinum this is the ultimate compact for the red fanatic For more information call Three Custom at 1 888 262 7714 You can also see their main lipcolor collection online

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT August 21 1998 Beyond the familiar drug and department store counter cosmetics there is a whole world of professional makeup industry lines that usually get overlooked by the average consumer Joe Blasco is one of those lines and this week I have the pleasure of bringing reviews of several of their products to you Not only are these products used in the industry by professional makeup artists but there is a Joe Blasco Make up Artist Training Center one in California and one in Florida where budding artists can learn everything they ve ever wanted to know about makeup And now on to the reviews Ultra Base high pigment cream makeup 16 I definitely had mixed feelings about this makeup The high concentration of pigment is great so you need less product to cover your face the color selection is fantastic the consistency is creamy light and easy to blend and the texture when first applied is smooth and flawless The downside I noticed every time I used it was noticeable oiliness and light smearing by mid day and I don t even have oily skin Even with generous amounts of loose powder I had a really hard time keeping the shine under control Ultra Fine Setting Powder 10 75 The texture and smoothness of this powder is great and I love the handy shaker container It sets your makeup nicely without looking overly powdery or cakey but it doesn t do much in terms of oil control If you have oily skin or a naturally shiny T zone this is not the powder for you Cream Blush 9 75 If you like cream blush rather than powder this one has a nice smooth texture and long lasting color The shade I got pastel rose is brighter than I expected but since it s a cream I can thin it out with a sponge and a little foundation Nothing remarkable but not bad Eye Color powder shadows 9 75 From barely there pearl to knock out turquoise you are sure to find something in this collection to suit your tastes and your coloring I had the best luck with neutral shades like taupe light charcoal gray and warm brown Like most quality shadows these last well through the day without fading or creasing Lipstick velvet 10 75 matte 11 75 Much like the eye shadows you can find just about any color in this collection of lipsticks from bright coral and their brights are really bright to muted brown and everything in between Personally I like the texture and staying power of the matte formula better than the slightly greasy feel of the velvet It stays on well and feels lightweight without overdrying or getting crumbly All in all I was a little under impressed by Joe Blasco products The foundation that I had heard fellow makeup artists rave about just didn t wow me and I found some of the color cosmetics to be nice but not outstanding and a bit on the bright side They do however make some nice brushes and sponges which I will review in an upcoming report and the prices are fairly reasonable If you d like more information about Joe Blasco products call 1 800 553 1580 Their website located at www joeblasco com is still under construction Every time I m in the drugstore I can t resist looking for anything new and interesting that s just come out This week I stumbled upon Pond s Soothing Cucumber Eye Treatments around 8 for jar of 24 If ever an eye treatment could pass for a slice of real cucumber these can With cucumber green tea chamomile cornflower orange peel and rose hip extracts plus aloe vera gel and vitamin E these pads feel heavenly after a long day or while soaking in the tub keep them in the fridge for the ultimate

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT August 20 1999 Cosmetic Connection Gets a Facelift During your last visit to Cosmetic Connection you noticed quite a change right Yes I d been working on the new design for a while and am so excited to finally have it online So far the feedback from readers like you has been very positive thank you I am adding the Product Finder Resource back the page with all the cosmetic company phone numbers so don t worry I hope that this new layout makes things easier to find easier to read and more enjoyable for you Now onto this week s reviews I ve decided for this issue to mix bargain with expensive with reviews of Chanel s new Precision skin care as well as Revlon ColorStay Liquid Lip and Prestige mascara Enjoy Revlon ColorStay Liquid Lip I saw an ad for this in a fashion magazine and immediately put in on my list for my next trip to the drugstore I was pleasantly surprised by the number of color choices and actually had a hard time choosing among several that were pretty and seemed right for me So often there is such a limited choice or everything is a variation on pastel pink The color I ended up with Mimosa is a medium rose with a hint of shimmer very subtle that for me is just a shade or two deeper than my natural lipcolor The consistency of Liquid Lip reminds me a bit of Maybelline Lip Polish it s not glossy but instead more dry and velvety This dry quality makes it easy to apply and fill in your lips without worrying about going outside your lipline and making a mess like a gloss can In terms of wearability Liquid Lip feels the most comfortable of all the ColorStay lipcolors It sets to a finish that you can t really feel almost like you have nothing on and lasts well through most food and drink except anything oily which is always death to long wearing and transfer resistant products The first time I tried Liquid Lip it lasted all morning and early afternoon only coming off when I had pizza for lunch Every other time I wore it it lasted through regular food and drink kissing etc with no problem I think I have finally found a comfortable non creamy lipcolor that I can wear everyday without getting it on my clothes or on my daughter s face This is a definite winner in my book Prestige Vitamin Enriched Mascara Believe it or not I actually ran out of mascara recently and went completely without for about a week I know I can t believe I did that While at the drugstore getting the Revlon lipcolor I hunted for a mascara I hadn t reviewed before and found this one from Prestige It comes in black black brown and navy costs under 5 and is a great basic mascara It has a gel formula that doesn t clump isn t too wet or goopy and puts just a light coat of color on the lashes that I find much more flattering that thick coats that look like tar I would definitely buy this again Chanel Precision Skin Care Chanel recently launched a whole new skin care system so naturally I was curious Here s how it works at the Chanel counter they now have a computer with 8 questions about your skin oiliness dryness contact and environmental sensitivity breakout tendency sun sensitivity uneven complexion facial wrinkles loss of firmness and concerns like undereye circles or lines around your lips Your answers determine which products are prescribed for your skin Here is my profile oiliness none choices are none T zone or shiny all over dryness slight choices are none slight moderate or extreme contact and environmental sensitivity frequent choices are none occasional or frequent breakout tendency occasional choices are none occasional or frequent sun sensitivity burns then tans choices are tans easily never burns burns then tans or burns never tans uneven complexion visible choices are none slightly visible visible facial wrinkles loss of firmness none choices are none slightly visible visible I chose none of the extra concerns Based on my answers the Chanel Precision computer showed the products that are recommended for my skin type as well as highlighted those that the system deemed the most important for me like a must have list I decided to try a few and see how the system worked for me Chanel Gel Tendre Non Foaming Makeup Remover Face and Eyes 30 for 5 ounces I would not call this cleanser completely non foaming it does foam up a bit but at least it s not full blown lather The consistency of this gel reminds me of Biore Non Foaming Cleansing Gel but Gel Tendre is thinner and lighter removes makeup a bit better and also rinses away more easily It has a fresh light scent and leaves my skin feeling clean but not stripped I m not sure I would make a habit out of buying this then again maybe I would Get a sample if you can to see how well you like it It should work well for any skin type Chanel Solution Destressante Calming Emulsion 30 for 3 4 ounces Because I ranked high on the contact and environmental sensitivity question this lotion was among the highlighted priority products for my skin Although it can t prevent irritation or blotchiness from something inside your body like stress or crazy hormones it does help protect your skin if you are prone to irritation redness from things outside like cold air wind scratchy fabrics etc I definitely have that problem and the lotion seems to be helping Since I started using it morning and night my skin in general is less red I also like the light moisturizing benefits I can layer it under an oil free moisturizer without having to use a heavy cream to prevent dehydration Chanel Hydramax Balanced Hydrating Gel 40 for 1 7 ounces I both like and dislike this gel moisturizer I like the light cream gel texture and the way it makes my skin feel soft and supple like I don t have anything on Unfortunately that natural skin feeling is also why I don t like it when I try to apply foundation or concealer my skin has no moisture on the surface so the makeup drags and looks cakey I suspect my skin really needs the Hydramax Balanced Hydrating Cream rather than the Gel so I ll be investigating that option next For truly combination or slightly oily skin I think this gel would feel fantastic All in all I like these Chanel products and think the computer questions are a decent way of determining the best products for your skin It takes into account that not all oily skin types are acne prone or that not all dry skin types have wrinkles Even if you don t buy any of the products it s fun to see what kinds of products are recommended for your skin based on those answers I hope to review some of the other products recommend for me including Lotion Tendre Soothing Toner Hydra Serum Vitamin Moisture Boost Estompe Taches Anti Dark Spot Serum and Fluide Multi Protection Daily Protection Lotion SPF 25

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT August 14 1998 Since I ve received so many wonderful congratulatory emails from all of you about my pregnancy I thought you d all like to hear that I will not be the only cosmetic junkie in the family We are having a girl When she is old enough I m sure she ll have her own column on Cosmetic Connection Thanks again for all the nice notes The new fall colors just keep rolling in This week I m pleased to share the new colors from Estee Lauder s Be Jeweled collection and point out a few of my personal favorites This collection is what I consider classic fall deep rich jewel tones in purples reds and gold All of these colors should be available at Estee Lauder counters nationwide by September Lips True Lipstick 16 in pure plum plum brown and bronzino shimmery copper brown Perfect Lipstick 15 in silent red classic true ruby red Perfect Sheer Effect Lipstick 15 in brocade sheer pewter All Day Lipstick 13 50 in rose sapphire muted lavender and antique amethyst bright magenta NEW Velvet Lip Stick 13 in gilded deep bronze garnet purple magenta ruby deep cool red and rose neutral pink brown Eyes Two in One Eyeshadow 12 in midnight amethyst deep purple with hint of gold shimmer golden ice warm copper licorice deep gray black and khaki muted olive green Two in One Eyeshadow Duo 20 in splendor coppery gold and medium brownish plum with a hint of gold shimmer NEW Line and Smudge Eye Defining Pencil 15 in black brown and khaki Nails Perfect Finish Nail Lacquer 5 for small bottles in antique amethyst ruby brocade and yellow diamond Face Body Minute Makeup 27 50 in goldstick light yellow gold The new Velvet Lip Sticks and Line and Smudge Eye Defining Pencils are a nice addition to EL s products and I hope they stick around The lip sticks are chubby pencils that work as both liner and color in one The Line and Smudge eye liners come in basic colors but they have a handy sponge tip on one end to create a softer line My favorites of the collection include pure plum True Lipstick great color should work day or night for just about anyone rose Velvet Lip Stick splendor Two in One Eyeshadow Duo and ruby Perfect Finish Nail Lacquer those tiny bottles are the best I may be on skincare review hiatus but I couldn t resist sharing a great find that I recently discovered Whether you have full blown acne or just a pimple here or there The Body Shop s Tea Tree Oil Moisturizing Gel 4 50 for 2 ounces is a fantastic solution Rather than drying out the skin with alcohol or harsh chemicals like many acne products or gel moisturizers this one starts with soothing aloe vera gel and adds just enough tea tree oil to help clear up blemishes I highly recommend this gel to anyone who is easily irritated or dried out by conventional acne or oily skin treatments The Makeup Diva is in Choosing the best basic eye shadow colors for you can be a real challenge Learn how to find the right shades and a few tricks for

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT August 12 1999 The Cosmetic Connection Product Panel has grown quite a bit over the last few months and every Panelist is just as devoted a product junkie as I am This week I am pleased to feature our Panelist Deanna as a Cosmetic Report featured writer Deanna is 33 years old and half Caucasian half African American She has normal to oily skin that tans easily and is prone to mild moderate acne breakouts Her skin tone is a warm yellow similar to Iman s Sand 2 Deanna has dark brown hair with natural auburn highlights and medium brown eyes Deanna lives from Silver Spring Maryland and is currently a full time student studying for a Master s degree in International Business Management Deanna is also a new mom to a little girl Cydney In her late teens and twenties she worked as a large sized model and has been a product junkie ever since Take it away Deanna D uring the last month of my recent pregnancy I just couldn t move around as well and was in fact on physician prescribed bed rest I don t know if it was the hormones the inability to get my regular cosmetic counter fix or just simply the fact that I couldn t sleep that lead me to it but whatever it was I did it Yes armed with the TV remote and a credit card I ordered some of those as seen on TV products C mon you know you ve wanted to and besides what else is there to watch at 3 00 a m I ll try anything once so let me share some of my experiences with you The Selleca Solution Price 39 95 shipping and handling This is a skincare system touted by Connie Selleca supposedly based on a an ancient Egyptian miracle cream I was drawn to this product because of the inclusion of essential oils specifically myrrh frankincense and sandalwood oils known for their hydrating and healing qualities and because it promised gentle quick results After all I was pregnant and concerned with what I put on my skin The system consists of three pieces a cleanser a day moisturizer and a night cream It also includes an eye treatment kit two pieces one for day and one for night and some freebies a sample of body lotion a sample of quick lift facial firming gel and a sample of eye makeup remover These products are supposed to work together as a system This is how it worked for me Soothing Cleanser with Chamomile A cleanser is supposed to remove all makeup from the face Unfortunately this cleanser couldn t do it I washed my face three times to remove just my foundation blush and lipstick regular formulations using this cleanser and I still couldn t get it all off I eventually had to use my regular facial cleanser When checking the ingredient list I found that this cleanser was almost all fillers and comedogenic ingredients However not to be deterred and hoping for a miracle I pressed on Daily Difference Moisturizer This was an average little moisturizer It smelled nice and felt good on the skin It takes a few minutes to absorb so I had to wait about 5 minutes before I could apply my makeup but all in all it was okay It contains some essential oils but they are listed so far down on the ingredient list there can t be much in there Another drawback it s loaded with comedogenic ingredients Nighttime Miracle Cream I m not a real fan of night creams but I have to admit this one felt nice and I didn t wake up puffy It has the same bois de rose scent as the rest of the skincare line I didn t experience any life changing results though This product too is loaded with comedogenic ingredients Firming Eye Gel This is the daytime portion of the eye treatment kit As far as eye creams go it s about average I did not see any difference but the product did feel good on the skin and absorbed quickly Hydrating Eye Cream This is the nighttime portion of the eye treatment kit Again average It didn t do a thing for my crow s feet but it felt good Essential Moisture Body Lotion I ll admit my skin was particularly dry during my pregnancy Even still an average body lotion I would compare it to Suave or St Ive s body lotion Quick Lift Facial Firming Gel This gel like many others of its type works by temporarily and I mean temporarily tightening the skin Gentle Eye Make up Remover Again average It did a better job than the facial cleanser but not by much I used these products for about three weeks Although I really can t recommend these products for people with my skin type I will say that they do smell good and feel good but all I got for my money was disappointment and pimples If you are still interested in these products which are distributed by Guthy Renker you can check them out at www choicemall com Proactiv Solution Price 39 90 shipping and handling This is another series of products distributed by Guthy Renker Judith Light Mackenzie Phillips and two dermatologists Dr Katie Rodan and Dr Kathy Fields advertised it I bought the 3 piece system which included the Renewing Cleanser the Revitalizing Toner the Repairing Lotion and a free Refining Mask I tend to break out anyway and after the Selleca Solution I really needed something to help clear my skin Here s how it went The Renewing Cleanser This is a gentle exfoliating cleanser with beads and 2 5 benzoyl peroxide It felt terrific on my irritated face It removed every trace of my makeup including the stay put variety It is not recommended for the removal of eye make up though so this must be done separately The Revitalizing Toner I m not a toner person I think that it is a wasted step after all pores don t open and close However I found it very refreshing on my skin and it felt even better after I started putting it in the refrigerator It contains very small quantities of glycolic acid which I wouldn t think was enough to make a difference The cleanser works so well I didn t notice makeup or dirt on the cotton pad after a swiped my face with the toner so I m not really sure what the toner actually does However I used it anyway The Repairing Lotion This product felt really good on the skin It really soothed my face and absorbed quickly I could put my makeup on almost immediately after applying the product Even though this product contains 2 5 benzoyl peroxide initially I didn t find it the least bit drying or uncomfortable The Refining Mask This clay based mask should be used about two to three times a week It contains 6 sulfur and zinc oxide as its active ingredients It definitely dried up my oily skin and left my face smooth after each use Believe it or not this product line was actually worked My large pimples and whiteheads were pretty much gone in about three weeks Although I still had a few blackheads I liked it so much that I not only reordered it I ordered some other products from the line as well These included the Oil Free Moisture with SPF 15 and the Proactiv Blemish Stick Oil Free Moisture with SPF 15 Price 26 50 This was a pleasant moisturizer I found it came in handy at about the three week mark of using Proactiv Solution when I found that my skin became a little dry and felt a little tight I don t usually like sunscreens too sticky and tacky but this one was fairly pleasant to wear on my face The drawback titanium dioxide whitening unfortunately this moisturizer does give an ashy white cast to the skin which can be seen almost immediately upon application But it is effective and passed the oil free acid test Luckily I didn t really need to use it for long The dryness passed after about a week when I began to use the mask only once a week instead of twice Proactiv Blemish Stick Price 19 50 The blemish stick contains 6 benzoyl peroxide a good deal more than the original formulation It is designed for site specific application I found it worked well on individual pimples particularly the larger ones drying them up in about two to three days Proactiv also makes a fairly comprehensive line of other skincare and haircare products as well as line of makeup that includes foundation medicated concealer and powder If you are interested in the Proactiv Solution and you can find it at www choicemall com All things considered I m very happy with Proactiv Solution In fact I am still using it My husband and younger sister are using it too It s definitely a great skin care line for the price and worth the money because it works I would highly recommend these products for people with mild to moderate breakouts My only wish is that it did more to address aging skin but for now it s my primary skincare selection That is until I find something else better Now that the baby is born and I can get moving again I ve traded in the TV remote for the car keys I ve still got my credit cards Watson the game s afoot Deanna CosmeticConnection com Product Review Spotlight Check out

mirrored compact This kit is perfect for travel and fits easily into a purse or makeup bag The brushes are pretty small and really shouldn t replace full sized brushes for everyday use but for travel it s perfect The two powder shades let you mix and match or blend the two to create the best color for your brows If you are a slave to your brows this kit is a must Even in the summer I always manage to get chapped lips For those of us with the on going problem you can never have too many tubes of lipbalm The folks at English Ideas creators of Lip Last lipstick sealant would like to add to your collection with their Lip Works lipbalms 9 each in grapefruit tea tree oil hint of color and concealer My favorites are grapefruit and tea tree oil since they are more like traditional lipbalm and feel soothing and moisturizing on the lips and they smell great For my cool slightly pink undertone coloring the hint of color balm was a bit on the orange side better for someone with golden undertones in their skin Personally I d pass on this and on the concealer a light flesh colored stick designed to conceal and heal cold sores and blemishes around your lips The color is not universal so making it match with the rest of your foundation and regular concealer is a bit of a challenge I d stick with regular medicine and a skintone matching concealer I usually don t make a habit out of reviewing really personal personal care products but I couldn t resist trying the new deodorant from Origins No Offense 11 Made with natural plant oils like winterbloom field mint basil black currant rose jasmine ylang ylang neroli and vetiver this deodorant smells sweeter and has fewer chemicals than most drugstore and supermarket brands If you favor natural products or if you re tired of all the pore clogging chemicals in anti perspirants check out No Offense Since it is only a deodorant and not an anti perspirant it does take a few weeks to get used to but I think it s worth it The Makeup

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT August 3 1999 This week I am pleased to bring you some reviews from Alchemy the cosmetic line from NYC pharmacy Bigelow Chemists If it s sheer color and light formulas you favor this line is worth a look I m also featuring a few reviews of Stephen Knoll hair care products at the end of this issue Enjoy Alchemy Pressed Powder 26 Unlike most pressed powders that come in a mirrored compact this one has a screwtop lid and powder puff housed inside I like the unique design and the powder s not bad either except for the color I got Diffusion seems like the lightest shade but it s too sparkly to use every day The texture is nice and light but I would definitely choose a different color next time Alchemy pressed powder comes in 3 colors diffusion 25 and 33 Alchemy Eye Shadow 15 The two colors I tried are such different shades it s hard to review this as one product Ginkgo a soft taupe gray is a great all over color that goes on smoothly and lasts all day without creasing or fading I can definitely see wearing this as an everyday shadow Juniper on the other hand is a vibrant magenta that still has a sheer quality to it but it s more of an accent color for light to medium skin tones and a crease shade for darker skin tones If you like color this is a bright one Other colors include Shittake Celery Lavender Iceland Moss and Catnip Alchemy Sheer Lipstick 16 50 This is a light sheer lipstick that s nice for subtle color that looks like a stain but feels like lipbalm I tried juniper light grape purple henna light red brown and rhubarb light fuschia pink and didn t really have a favorite These are okay but didn t wow me enough to want to wear it every day Alchemy Refreshing Lip Gloss 15 The packaging of this gloss is practically identical to Bobbi Brown and Revlon Professional small squarish clear tube so you can see the color inside except it has a sponge applicator rather than a brush I actually prefer the sponge because it s easily to apply and doesn t get squashed in the tube like a brush can The color I have heartsense is a very pretty medium fuschia pink but it doesn t quite suit my complexion I have very fair skin with pinkish undertones and some blotchy redness on my cheeks so this shade of pink makes the redness in my skin really stand out Not quite the look I am going for The gloss itself has a fresh minty flavor and feels slightly tingly on the lips Alchemy Lip Gloss 15 This gloss comes in a little screwtop pot and is shinier and thicker than the Refreshing Gloss It comes in shimmery gold and silver shades that are designed to layer over regular lipstick If you like to mix your own colors or add sparkle to your regular lipstick this might be a fun product For me it s just makeup drawer clutter Alchemy Medic Blemish Treatment Concealer 15 This lightly medicated concealer is designed to heal blemishes using salicylic acid while it covers I couldn t really say that it had enough medicine it in to do very much but it is a decent concealer that doesn t cake or turn orange when layered over a pimple Medic comes in 4 colors from lightest to darkest 33 38 41 74 For more information on Alchemy or other products sold by Bigelow Chemists call 1 800 793 5433 for a catalog or stop by the pharmacy if you re in New York City Bigelow is located on Avenue of the Americas 6th Avenue between 8th and 9th Streets in Greenwich Village Besides Bigelow Alchemy is available at Sephora stores in San Francisco Southcoast Plaza in Los Angeles South Beach Miami Virginia and soon in Las Vegas Nev and Rockefeller Center in New York City You can also find Alchemy at Bliss Spa and eve com Alchemy products also will be available in the UK in March and in Japan in May Since cutting my hair relatively short while I was pregnant I had stopped reviewing hair care products because basically anything worked on my no frills style Well after months of brooding over my hormonally darkened hair I finally took the plunge and got highlights I am so glad I did it and my husband even asked Are you going to go lighter next time I m now back to some semblance of my original blonde rather than that dirty dishwater color but the coloring process made me more aware of what I was putting on my hair Thankfully I discovered a line of hair care products recently that work great on my newly color treated hair Stephen Knoll is apparently a well known colorist in New York City but I ve never been there A close friend got me these products and I have been happily using them for the last month or so Stephen Knoll Clean Daily Wash for Normal Hair 14 50 for 8 ounces Gentle cleansing agents together with kelp extract aloe vera gel panthenol vitamin E vitamin A and a touch of menthol and camphor make this a refreshing and effective shampoo for every day It is low lathering so don t expect a mountain of suds or use a whole handful trying to get lots of bubbles it just won t happen and you ll waste a perfectly good shampoo Stephen Knoll Totally Amazing Transforming Spray 26 50 for 8 ounces I love this spray I was skeptical at first at its lofty transforming claims but it really does make my frizz prone difficult to control hair softer and more relaxed I used to use straighteners and sticky gels on my hair just to get it to stay smooth and straight now all I use is this and a little Alterna shine cream It s not a gel or a hairspray but a blend of plant extracts and essential oils the chamomile and nettle extracts panthenol vitamins E and A biotin and lavender chamomile and tangerine essential oils must be doing something right Stephen Knoll Obedient Sculpting Gel 13 50 for 6 ounces Unlike the aforementioned Transforming Spray this gel is fairly standard and nothing to write home about It contains PVP a hairspray ingredient dimethicone to smooth and chamomile nettle quince and kelp extracts It does give nice control with just a pea sized dab but it s a bit sticky and stiff for my taste Stephen Knoll s salon is located at 625 Madison Ave in New York City phone 212 421 0100 You ll find these products as well as some rather expensive hair services like 225

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT July 31 1998 Thanks so much to everyone who sent congratulations on my pregnancy This is our first and we are really excited For those of you who are also pregnant you can look forward to several skin care reviews stretch mark creams leg gels etc over the next 5 months I hope you enjoy it and if you have any product suggestions please don t hesitate to let me know Here in Portland OR it seems like summer just started but believe it or not fall is just around the corner The change of seasons always means pretty new colors and often new products from all of our favorite lines This week my fall preview shopping started with some great new shades from Maybelline s Gypsy Chic fall collection including Salon Finish Nail Enamel around 3 in heather perle and Great Wear Budgeproof Lipcolor around 6 in heather Naturally I couldn t resist those colors I ve always liked the Great Wear lipcolor really lasts without being dry or crumbly and this medium plum very slightly shimmery shade is perfect for fall On the new product front Maybelline has introduced Great Wear long wearing Blush around 5 in a variety of pinks peaches and browns I choose woodrose If you need stay put color have oily skin or like more control over your blush color this silky cream powder is a nice choice The included sponge lets you put the color right where you want it then it lasts all day without too much fading Coming in September Bobbi Brown Essentials collection for fall includes new colors and several new products The prettiest by far are the new shimmer lipglosses 18 in white sugar sand sugar rose sugar and cocoa sugar The fall collection will also feature a new blush shade in pale pink great for pale skintones new lipstick shades in mango and wine and new nail wash shades in nude rose red wine and raisin Personally I think it s great that the line is expanding outside the basic browns and these deep jewel tones are stunning Bobbi Brown s growing line will also add a Conditioning Brush Cleaner Fresh Glow Cream Foundation 35 with vitamin A oil free Gentle Foaming Cleanser 27 and a conditioning hand and nail cream As soon as these new products become available I ll be sure to have plenty of in depth reviews for you For more information about Bobbi Brown Essentials or to find a counter location near you check out the website at http www bobbibrowncosmetics com The new fall collection isn t online yet but I imagine it will be soon I rarely indulge in what I consider luxury cosmetics like La Prairie or Chanel but this week I couldn t resist trying Chanel s new Lip Blush 28 50 lipcolor Packaged in individual color compacts this lipcolor is unlike any lipstick I ve tried think of it more like a cream to powder shadow for your lips Apply the velvety cream with the enclosed brush and it sets to a smooth but still somewhat creamy satin finish You can blend the color to a sheer wash or build it up for more richness and depth The staying power rivals regular lipstick and the silky feel definitely beats most long wearing formulas Lip Blush comes in four knock out shades innocent pout bizarre and kissed Coming up next week I am

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT July 24 1998 I received quite a few email this past weekend from those of you who were eagerly awaiting your Cosmetic Report but it never arrived Let me start by saying that The Cosmetic Report and Cosmetic Connection are still going strong I have been battling some annoying mail problems so please check Cosmetic Connection online for any issues you missed Things should be back to normal now In other interesting news on top of my email problems I have also been a bit under the weather lately I appreciate all of your get well wishes but this is actually a condition I d rather not be relieved of I m pregnant due in December You can still expect The Cosmetic Report and new reviews on Cosmetic Connection hopefully with some pregnancy related skin care product reviews soon but don t be surprised if things take a little longer or if reports are a little shorter Cosmetic Connection is still commited to being your best source for advertising free cosmetic information and advice online Now on to this week s report It may be summer but the cosmetic companies are already thinking about fall MAC seems to have the grandest plans for fall including an extensive color line and brand new packaging for all their products With so many clones on the market MAC has decided it s time for something new What it will look like is anybody s guess The new packaging will launch in September with their fall color collection Earth Goddess This promises to be their largest seasonal collection yet and while I couldn t learn much about the exact colors yet I imagine its earth and jewel tones will be fantastic and hopefully very wearable For something new and fun from MAC right now I highly recommend their lipstick compact to those of you in Nordstrom territory the compact was created for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale going on now For 24 you get a handy refillable palette compact filled with some of MAC s best sellers like taupe fetish gel pivot twig rizzo and clear vitamin E stick I love the enclosed lip brush which is of the same quality as all of MAC s brushes only smaller not some cheezy throw away This compact is great for purse travel and mixing your own shades on the go FYI If you are a makeup maven like me but don t have access to MAC where you live you can still satisfy your craving by ordering products through MAC s mail order line 1 800 387 6707 Stila is another line that will deliver a gorgeous fall collection Called the Star Collection it s romantic and modern with a light wash of shimmery color for eyes and nails and deep rich shades for cheeks and lips All the colors are grouped as looks so application is effortless I will have color swatches online for next week Moonlight moonlight eye shadow white shimmer julie lipstick deep berry belle blush bright berry freya nail polish white shimmer Starlight starlight eye shadow cream shimmer dominique lipstick deep red rouge blush crimson red juno nail polish cream shimmer Twilight twilight eye shadow silver shimmer ina lipstick deep plum warm blush plum demeter nail polish silver shimmer Stila is also featuring a new concept for fall called Twin

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT July 23 1999 I get frequent email from readers like you who love our 10 Challenge feature and would like to see more of them I love doing these but I have found the prices of many drugstore cosmetics getting higher and higher This time I expanded it The Challenge to 15 Maybelline Express Makeup 3 in 1 8 99 or only 6 77 in the Cosmetics area of Planet Rx I think just about every major cosmetic line now has a stick foundation Bobbi Brown Estee Lauder Prescriptives L Oreal Lancome and Garden Botanika to name a few Maybelline finally joined in and their version is worth looking at It comes in a nice selection of colors I chose ivory and I like it quite well The texture is very light easily to blend easy to build on for more coverage the initial coverage is sheer to medium and is fairly non comedogenic I got a few little blackheads at first but they subsided after a few days You can apply it with your fingers just on spots that need coverage or use a sponge to apply it over your whole face it looks natural either way I d say this foundation works best for normal combination or normal to oily skin that doesn t have any flaky dry patches foundation sticks always grab onto flaky skin and accentuate it Like most foundation sticks this one promises a powder finish but really still needs a setting powder to last throughout the day Almay One Coat Color Curl Mascara 6 50 I only have one word for this mascara YUCK If I thought the store I bought it at would take it back I would return it right now Not only is this mascara incredibly goopy and clumpy but it doesn t even come close to curling your lashes unlike L Oreal Le Grand Curl which does curl slightly Maybe I m just too picky about mascara but I don t think you should have to wipe down the brush just to get a clean even application There are so many great mascaras to choose from that go on well without clumping L Oreal Cover Girl Lash by Lash Bobbi Brown Lancome Neutrogena and this is not one of them I ve gotten several requests for a review of La Bella Donna mineral makeup 42 50 so I recently selected a shade from my favorite New York spa Bliss I reviewed the mineral foundation from Youngblood several months ago and I d say this is a very similar product La Bella Donna is slightly less shiny on the skin but otherwise it has the same natural finish adjustable coverage and long wearing benefits You can apply it with a powder brush for light allover coverage or with the enclosed sponge for fuller complete coverage Personally I like the silkier texture of La Bella Donna and I found I can use less product to achieve the same look Unfortunately you always take a chance ordering makeup without seeing the colors this shade is just not the one for me After browsing through the spring Bliss Out catalog I thought Catarina looked the best for me but alas it is not Now that I have my summer catalog in hand their newest color addition Crema looks like a better color for my pale complexion For more information on La Bella Donna at Bliss Spa check out the Bliss website at http www blissworld com blissworld main html click on Bliss Out catalog then scroll down to La Bella Donna I am pleased to share an update to my recent review of MAC Studio Line Full Coverage Cream Makeup June 6th issue it does in fact have sun protection The sample I got didn t have the full ingredient details but when I recently ordered it from MAC you can too by calling 1 800 387 6707 the package clearly states SPF 15 sun protection from titanium

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT July 17 1998 Considering all the issues I ve had with my skin lately dryness plus major breakouts I ve decided to give it a bit of a break and bring you more color cosmetic reviews over the next few issues First on my list is our first 10 Challenge of 1998 I can t believe the last one was in December 97 For all our new readers the 10 Challenge is the ultimate drugstore scavenger hunt Here s how it works take 10 into a drug or discount store and see what cool products you can find Simple For our 6th installment a trip to my local drugstore got me the following Coty 24 Hour Creme Lipstick 5 79 in plumwine Even though I think naming this lipstick 24 hour is a little ambitious it does last pretty well through eating drinking etc without coming off completely It feels a little dry at first but as it settles into your lips it turns slightly creamy without feeling greasy or sliding around I also like the old fashioned bullet shape makes for easier application and snazzy gold case Many thanks to reader Lydia Ash for the review suggestion Bonne Bell Lip Lix lipgloss 1 99 in gotta date For a quick and easy no frills gloss the Lip Lix collection is cool and cheap Every gloss is a different color and a different flavor which I suppose appeals to someone who likes to taste their lipgloss Personally I like the color I got but the flavor is nasty I have no idea what it s supposed to be What I do like is that the color is sheer and goof proof so I can throw it in my purse and never be without at least a little lipcolor Lord

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT July 16 1999 Thanks to everyone who has sent in requests for product reviews We are buried under a sea of email and working through your suggestions as quickly as possible This week we ve got several frequently asked for reviews from Vichy Yonka and Clinique Superfit makeup and Stop Signs Anti Aging treatment serum Vichy Lotion Cleanser The milky consistency got my hopes up that this cleanser would be gentle and a good makeup remover but sadly it wasn t It stung any irritated areas of my face and even though I massaged it in thoroughly it would not completely remove even the most basic concealer foundation As if that a wasn t bad enough it s too oily to remove with just water so you have to use a washcloth to remove all the cleanser and leftover makeup A definite thumbs down Vichy Eye Makeup Remover for Sensitive Eyes I m not sure what the folks at Vichy were thinking when they created this product This makeup remover has just about every detergent cleansing agent in it that you can think of and boy does it sting It made my eyelids red and left my skin feeling itchy and irritated Another thumbs down Vichy Thermal S1 Intensive Daily Hydration This cream claims it has thermal spa waters that are somehow supposed to have some therapeutic effect on the skin Don t believe it This is a basic moisturizer for dry skin with no sun protection making it a poor choice for daytime use The package says it has UVA UVB Free Radical Protection System but it has no SPF rating or active sunscreen ingredients listed on the label It has a light perfume y fragrance and a lightweight texture that does feel nice on the skin but it s really nothing special For more information on Vichy products you can call 1 888 45 VICHY or 1 800 361 7783 Vichy products are made in France and distributed throughout Canada Yonka Gentle Foaming Cleansing Gel 26 for 6 8 ounces This gel cleanser has some fairly gentle cleansing agents in it so it doesn t dry out the skin too much but the essential oils orris root lavender geranium are a bit strong and irritating especially when used on the eye area I didn t find it to be anything special and would not recommend spending the over 20 price tag Yonka Lotion Alcohol Free spray toner 22 for 6 8 ounces Thankfully the essential oils lavender geranium rosemary thyme cypress in this product weren t as irritating to my skin as those in the cleanser I like the spray aspect of this product especially for sensitive skin less friction but the oily afterfeel leaves much to be desired I can picture using this more in the winter not now that it s summer Yonka Fruitelia Age Free Renewing Lotion 42 for 1 7 ounces For some reason cosmetic companies have not figured out that people don t have just one fixed skin type It is entirely possible for someone to have dry acne prone skin or oily sensitive skin all at once This is yet another cream for dry or sensitive skin that is chock full of comedogenic ingredients stuff that can cause pimples This is also not a real AHA since fruit extracts like the ones in here bilberry sugarcane sugar maple orange and lemon have not been proven to be as effective as glycolic or lactic acid the real AHAs For dry skin the corn soybean and sunflower oils will feel nice and provide decent moisture but you won t get much exfoliation For more information on Yonka products I recommend a trip to Bliss Spa where they carry the entire line of Yonka either in person at 568 Broadway 2nd Floor in New York City by phone at 888 243 8825 or online

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT July 10 1999 This week I am pleased to bring you my review of several products from Peter Thomas Roth Clinical Skin Care Enjoy Peter Thomas Roth has been mentioned in quite a few magazines lately so naturally many of you were interested in the Cosmetic Connection perspective PTR has a large selection of products for conditions like acne and sensitive skin as well as vitamin creams lightening lotions and sunscreens I selected several that sounded interesting and relevant to me Let me preface the following reviews with one overall comment These products are too expensive There I said it While there were several that I liked I have hard time justifying spending this kind of money especially if I were to buy the products again and again I don t know about you but I don t have a money tree in my backyard Medicated BPO 5 Acne Wash 22 for 8 oz I chose this acne wash at the height of a recently pimple y period gotta love hormones and although it didn t help my acne it did help me realize once and for all that my skin is definitely without a doubt sensitive to benzoyl peroxide Thanks to this cleanser I now know I can t use this cleanser If BPO works well for you this is a mild cleanser that can treat and help prevent acne on your whole face just be sure not to get it near your eyes Oxygen Mist 35 for 8 oz This is a spray toner with oxygen electrolytes aloe vera zinc vitamin C and bioflavanoids I honestly have no idea how much good any part but the aloe will have on the skin but I can say that it made my skin less red and any blemishes I had less inflamed Oxygen Mist is fragrance free alcohol free and dye free which makes it nice for sensitive skin The label says you can also use it to soothe sunburn shaving irritation insect bites heat rash itching and other minor skin irritations Silica Strawberry Scrub 30 for 8 oz The main ingredients in this scrub are polyethylene granules almond meal and silica with a tiny amount of strawberry thrown in so they can make the product s name sound more attractive Strawberry or no strawberry I found this scrub to be too abrasive even when I used just a tiny amount I can think of several scrubs that I like better like BeneFit Honey Snap Out Of It Scrub Sage Corrective Grains Youngblood Papaya Enzyme Scrub and even Biore Mild Daily Cleansing Scrub Glycolic Acid 10 Moisturizer 40 for 2 oz If you like a strong AHA this one may be for you Glycolic acid whole leaf aloe vera and vitamin C are the main powerhouses in this light but effective lotion Thankfully at this price you only need a small amount to cover your whole face I liked this product but couldn t continue using it because it was actually too strong and ended up irritating my skin Too bad since I liked the lightweight texture and non greasy feel Ceramide Moisture Renewal 45 for 2 3 oz If you have normal to dry skin and are not prone to breakouts at all this is a nice medium weight nighttime moisturizer with safflower oil and shea butter I really wanted to like it but had to stop using it when I kept seeing new tiny superficial blackheads popping up on my cheeks Daily Defense Moisture Cream SPF 20 35 for 2 3 oz This is one of my favorite PTR products Don t let the name cream fool you this oil free sunblock moisturizer is lightweight and excellent for all skin types It s greaseless absorbs instantly doesn t leave a white cast on the skin and blocks out the sun s UVA UVB rays with octylmethoxycinnamate titanium dioxide octyl salicylate and benzophenone 3 Power C 20 Anti Oxidant Serum Gel 85 for 1 fluid ounce I started using this oil free liquid gel serum about two weeks ago and only notice a subtle difference right after I apply it my skin looks rosy and feels firmer The label claims the vitamin C 20 L ascorbic acid will help increase collagen production help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles help facial contours look and feel smoother firmer and more youthful and help protect against future free radical damage But since I can t really measure any of that I can t tell if it s working or not I do like the tightening feel when I put it on in the morning so I will probably continue using it but won t get more at over 80 a bottle Power C also has ginkgo boloba hyaluronic acid green tea extract superoxide dismutase and beta glucan and should work for all skin types except very sensitive I think if I had to choose my PTR products over again I would have gotten Sensitive Skin Cleansing Gel which I actually just ordered from dots2 com Glycolic Acid Clarifying Tonic Botanical Buffing Beads and Tinted Protective Day Cream These products seem more in line with my skintype so I hope to have reviews of them soon Here are a few places online to find Peter Thomas Roth products Drugstore com Bliss Spa dots2 com Before I wrap things up this week I wanted to pass on congratulations to our Avon contest winner Cathy Campbell Our next

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT July 10 1998 Summer is the perfect time to find a great cleansing mask or smoothing scrub to keep dull or flaky skin oily shine and breakouts to a minimum This week I ve found a few new products that are worth adding to your skin care collection I ve always been pleased with the performance and value of Biore products and their newest Self Heating Mask around 5 for a box of 6 treatments is no exception My favorite aspect of this mask is its speed massage it in and in less than a minute it s done No more waiting 20 minutes for your mask to dry Like their individually packaged pore strips each mask treatment is pre packaged in an individual use bubble pack so there s no messing with amounts Simply wet your face after cleansing dry your hands open the packet apply massage and rinse The mask is surprisingly warm at first test it on your hand first if you are extremely sensitive and turns blue to indicate it s done after about 30 45 seconds The gentle clay and small exfoliating beads leave your skin fresh clean and glowing This is another winner from Biore that I give 5 out of 5 stars I was a little skeptical when Origins came out with their newest scrub mask Never A Dull Moment 22 for 4 ounce jar Unlike their other scrubs Swept Away and Swept Clean that contain smooth jojoba exfoliating beads Never A Dull Moment NADM has apricot seeds and crushed walnut shells whose often jagged edges have been known to make tiny tears in the skin Thankfully a salesperson at my local Origins counter was kind enough to offer me a sample to try first In addition to the scrub grains NADM contains fruit enzymes from pineapple and papaya to give a more thorough exfoliation if you leave the scrub on the skin for a few minutes similar to Kiehl s Pineapple and Papaya Facial Scrub and Philosophy Deeply Superficial I actually liked this product It does have a bit more scrubbing action than a smooth bead scrub but it s still fairly gentle and leaves the skin smooth and supple not stripped Sensitive skins should be careful but for everyone else I give NADM 4 5 out of 5 stars For skin on the oily side Estee Lauder Almond Clay Pack 18 50 for 3 4 ounce tube is a nice but spendy find In one step you get the benefits of an oil absorbing clay mask and a smoothing almond paste scrub both of which leave your skin really clean and rosey The fragrance is a little perfume y but all in all I like this pack and give it 3 5 out of 5 stars I d like a smaller price tag for what you get One tip make sure to shake the tube before you dispense the mask since the ingredients have a tendency to separate a little For those of you with oily skin you re going to love this month s new Feature Makeup for Oily Skin Our hard

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT July 3 1998 Happy July from Cosmetic Connection After two gruelling weeks of testing Murad salon AHA BHA products I am pleased to bring you the results this week Maybe pleased isn t the right word Why was the testing gruelling you may ask If you could see my face you would know why Not even when I was a teenager with the typical teenage breakouts have I seen my skin is such turmoil I think my pimples had pimples First a little background on the brand Murad is one of the many AHA BHA alpha and beta hydroxy acid lines on the market It was created by Dr Howard Murad dermatologist who designed the line to help people with dry skin acne age spots skin discolorations etc Murad products are typically sold in salons and spas and they have a moderate to high concentration of acids AHAs and BHAs work to exfoliate dead skin keep pores clear reverse sun damage soften wrinkles and help control acne and oily skin Quite an assortment of benefits but the trick is finding the right combination of products and ingredients that work for your skin I am offering these reviews of the Murad products I tried knowing full well that Murad may be the right fit for someone else but they were definitely wrong for me AHA BHA Exfoliating Cleanser Of the three cleansers Murad has to choose from this one is recommended for normal combination oily and acne prone skin It has tiny exfoliating beads that gently scrub your skin in addition to lightly exfoliating with the AHAs and BHAs For the most part my skin tolerated this cleanser but only once a day It is lightly foaming and can feel a bit drying if you are sensitive to the drying effects of a lathering product Refreshing Skin Cleanser This choice is also an option for normal combination oily and acne prone skin It is a basic foaming cleanser that contains some plant extracts and a small amount of glycolic acid AHA Again this cleanser is okay but it can be quite drying if you are sensitive to the drying ingredients in foaming cleansers Advanced Combination Skin Formula Normally the second step after cleansing is one of the two Murad toners hydrating or clarifying but I did not have access to either The next step is the Advanced Performance Skincare Treatment product which comes in either serum or cream form The most commonly available treatments is the combination skin version it is sold in most of the Murad travel and sample kits It contains both glycolic acid AHA to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and salicylic acid BHA to hopefully keep pores clear and help prevent breakouts This was not the case for me since I had a dramatic increase in breakouts for the entire duration of using the products If you do suffer from breakouts and find that benzoyl peroxide treatments like Clearasil don t help a serum like this containing salicylic acid can work for some people Skin Perfecting Lotion This moisturizer step is where the number of AHA and BHA products you are putting on your face gets a little out of control This lightweight oil free lotion is designed for normal combination or sensitive skin and would be great if it didn t also have AHAs and BHAs This many layers of acid no matter how gentle they are can become rather irritating to your skin and I experienced that first hand If this was a plain moisturizer or if you used it alone without the other treatments and serums it would be a perfect oil free lotion Murasun Daily Sunblock with Antioxidants SPF 15 Since AHAs and BHAs can really sensitize your skin and make it more vulnerable to sun damage it s more important than ever to protect your skin with a good sunscreen This lotion is actually a physical block titanium dioxide which makes it great for sensitive skin that can t tolerate chemical or synthetic sunscreens I did like this sunblock and its broad spectrum UVA UVB protection benefits Murasun Daily Sunscreen with Antioxidants SPF 15 The sunscreen version is very similar to the sunblock except that its main ingredients octyl methoxycinnamate oxybenzone and octyl salicylate are chemical rather than physical sunscreens It also has broad spectrum protection and SPF 15 Murasome Eye Complex SPF 8 Of all the eye creams I ve tried this one is pretty basic The lightweight cream absorbs quickly and doesn t interfere with makeup but for the sun protection benefits I like Avon s Anew Perfect Eye Care Cream with SPF 15 better All in all my experience with Murad was disappointing at best and I couldn t wait to stop using the products to give my skin a break I have been off the products for a few days now and already my skin is looking much better The pimples are slowly disappearing and the redness and overall irritation is almost gone Again for some people these products may work wonders but I wasn t one of those people The Makeup Diva is in If you are looking forward to summer but your feet aren t quite ready don t miss this week s Ask The Makeup Diva column Miss

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT June 28 1999 I don t know about where you live but here in Oregon you d never know that last Monday marked the beginning of summer To help perk me up through all this rain I look to my trusty makeup collection to lift my spirits My first stop for some new colors was at the Stila counter Their summer Sunshine Collection has a distinct bronze focus which I always find pretty on other people but usually too dark and orange for me I decided to give it a go anyway and see how summery these colors could make me feel The Stila Sunshine Collection consists of Ray terracotta copper shadow Melissa copper rose lipstick Bronze Shine and Gold Shine lipshine glosses and Stila Sun bronzing powder I always like the soft shades and superior blendability of Stila shadows and while Ray isn t a color I would choose for myself it is a very pretty and surprisingly sheer color In the pot it closely resembles a copper penny but on the skin is has a soft shimmery copper glow This is a color that would really suit medium or dark skintones or fair skin with golden undertones On my fair and rosy skin it looks rather orange For cheeks I chose Brava blush While it s not specifically part of the summer collection Stila is recommending it as a complementary shade since its pinkish brown tones work well with bronze and gold tones I would not choose this blush for everyday but it is a nice change from very pinky pinks For lips the Melissa lipstick is a pretty medium copper rose shade Again it goes a bit orange on my skin but might be nice on light skin with golden undertones or medium dark skintones I also tried bronze and gold glosses and had a similar color experience pretty but wrong for my skintone The Bronze shade is almost chocolately with a hint of copper shimmer while the Gold is just that a light shimmering gold Finally for that sunkissed summer look Stila has come out with Stila Sun bronzing powder 36 I readily admit I am not a bronzing powder fan they always look orange or too brown on me but this one has potential I chose the darker 2 shade it comes in two colors and it actually turned out less dramatic than I anticipated The colors are soft and subtle and thankfully low on shimmer The finished look is healthy and natural If you are a bronzer fan you might want to check out Stila Sun for something new My next stop for summer colors was just down the counter to Estee Lauder Their Splash collection includes a two in one eyeshadow quad lipstick nail polishes and cream bronzing stick Estee Lauder has also introduced Instant Cover SunBlock SPF 15 for summer Unfortunately none of these products did anything for me For starters the colors in the Splash eyeshadow quad 35 are in my opinion not flattering at all Trying to combine the white khaki copper brown and saffron yellow shadows into anything even remotely pretty was a major challenge for me If you are into trendy looks maybe you d like these colors but I have a hard time recommending them For cheeks Estee Lauder is offering their Minute Blush cream blush stick 27 50 in Bronze It s also a rather disappointing shade too copper orange to really be flattering on anyone If you want a bronze cheek color stick with a bronzing powder for a more subtle and natural look The selections for lips I tried Copper Sun LipBlush 15 and nails Quick Finish Nail Lacquer 6 are more subdued but are still equally unflattering shades of beige Beach White pale yellow Sunbleached and muddy light brown Sanddune I can t imagine these colors looking good on anyone s nails The final product I tried from Estee Lauder s summer products is Instant Cover SunBlock SPF 15 22 50 The concept behind this compact is great a creamy SPF 15 sunblock in a small mirrored compact but the reality falls dramatically short of what I imagine Estee Lauder intended The first problem with Instant Cover is the overpowering fragrance As if sunscreen doesn t have enough irritation potential this one smells like one of Estee Lauder s perfumes If the compact had no label one could easily assume it was solid perfume Second while the creamy texture is nice the product is too white and iridescent to wear on your face unless you are into the greasy look Finally the notion of applying sunscreen to only parts of your face concerns me To be fully effective you need to apply a generous amount of sunscreen to your entire face neck shoulders if necessary pretty much anywhere the sun will hit This dab and cover method is either a sunburn or wrinkle waiting to happen SHOP Get what you

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT June 26 1998 Considering the number of alpha and beta hydroxy acid products I try when the testing is over my skin is always in need of a break A super gentle routine is just the ticket to get my face ready for its next product review challenge One of the basic cleansers I reach for is Neutrogena Extra Gentle Facial Cleanser around 6 for 6 7 ounces at drugstores Although the name has changed used to be Sensitive Skin Cleanser this is still a great lightweight milky cleanser for any skin type that removes makeup easily doesn t strip or dry and leaves the skin feeling fresh and clean When you are looking for a basic cleanser this one is an easy choice To protect my skin and keep it moisturized all day one of my favorite sunscreen plus moisturizer lotions is Eucerin Facial Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 25 around 7 for 4 ounces at drugstores Its complete broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection thanks to its combination of octyl methoxycinnamate octyl salicylate titanium dioxide and zinc oxide and lightweight oil free formula has been recommended by dermatologists for years You only need a tiny pea sized dab for your whole face and the non irritating and non comedogenic shouldn t cause breakouts formula works well for any skin type I get email from readers like you every week asking what cosmetics I personally when I m

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT June 19 1998 As promised this week I am pleased to bring you reviews of Aqua Glycolic a drugstore glycolic acid line of basic skin care products What makes AG different is the higher pH 4 4 of their products which makes them gentler than many salon AHA lines like Murad 3 6 or MD Formulations 3 8 while still being effective Step One of this minimalist system is the soap free lotion Facial Cleanser 12 50 for 8 ounces Applied to dry skin it removes face makeup well use a separate eye makeup remover though and gently begins the exfoliation process with 12 glycolic acid If you have very sensitive skin you may experience some stinging at first but since most of the AHAs rinse away with the cleanser it shouldn t last I give it 4 out of 5 stars If your skin is oily at all either all over or just in the T zone your next step would be the Astringent 9 95 for 8 ounces with 11 glycolic acid designed specifically for oily skin I was wary of using this on my face even on my slightly oily T zone because it contains alcohol and menthol but I took a chance and was fairly pleased with the results The initial stinging from the alcohol was a bit uncomfortable but I found the extra glycolic acid helped clear my pores and get rid of those pesky nose and forehead blackheads better than the cleanser alone For oily skin I give AG s Astringent 4 out of 5 stars For those of you with dry skin your step two in place of the Astringent is the Face Cream 15 95 for 2 ounce jar with 10 glycolic acid Although this cream is aimed at dry skin its lightweight oil free texture would be great for any skin type It s a good final step that I give 4 5 out of 5 stars One word of caution both AG and myself from personal experience recommend that you DO NOT use the Astringent and the Face Cream on the same areas of your face at the same time This layering can cause temporary but unnecessary stinging or irritation I tried it to see what would happen and wow did it ever make my skin itch Either use the products just on the areas you need them or use one in the morning and the other at night For more information about Aqua Glycolic you can call their customer service line at 1 800 253 9499 Prowling the drugstores and cosmetic counters for new products is always a favorite activity of mine especially when I find a really great deal This week I found an outstanding bargain on L Oreal s new Vita Vive shampoo and conditioner 2 50 for both Vita Vive claims its B3 B5 and E vitamins will improve the strength and resilience of your hair and make it shinier and healthier Pretty lofty claims for fairly basic products but they still do a nice job on your hair The clear shampoo cleans well and smells nice and the medium weight conditioner smooths and softens the hair without weighing it down The vitamins really don t do anything so don t buy it just for that If you can find the promotional package with the shampoo and conditioner together it s a great buy for a decent product I give Vita Vive 4 out of 5 stars Searching for a perfect sunscreen for summer This month s Feature Sunscreen Favorites is your perfect summer shopping

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT June 16 1999 This week our focus is on color starting with Bath Body Works new line Beautiful by Nature and wrapping things up with a few products from Valerie of Beverly Hills Enjoy During a recent trip to the mall with my daughter I stopped at Bath Body Works to get a peek at their new makeup and I managed to pick up these few things The line also has liquid foundation setting powder lipstick and lipglosses and lip and eye liner pencils that I hope to add to this review soon Complexion Perfection Cream to Powder Makeup SPF10 Finding a cream to powder makeup that works for my combination sensitive skin is often a challenge Some formulas are too emollient and aggravate my acne while others are so dry and powdery they make me look like I m approaching 60 not 30 Unfortunately this one falls into the dry as a desert category and I can t say that I m really surprised It seems like Bath Body Works is targeting teens with this line and teens on average tend to have more oily skin The color I chose cream was a nice match for my skin but the texture of this makeup is just too dry for me First Blush Cheek Color in apple blossom I like the color of this blush a perky medium pink but it doesn t last as long on the skin as I d like The sheer quality is great if you like a very subtle look but the lack of pigment also means it fades by mid afternoon I would sooner use a fluffy brush for a lighter application with a better blush than waste my money on this one Catch My Eyeshadow in elder berry I was not thrilled with this eyeshadow basically for the same reason I wasn t captivated by the blush I like my shadow to last who doesn t and these just don t have enough pigment to wear all day I also had a noticeable problem with creasing and fading All Out Lengthening Mascara in black brown As mascaras go this is a decent one but nothing special I was not impressed with it and would not buy it again If you are looking for a great basic mascara at a reasonable price I d sooner recommend Max Factor 2000 Calorie L Oreal Voluminous Neutrogena or Oil of Olay Beauty Mascara I ve gotten a few requests for reviews of Valerie of Beverly Hills products so naturally it is my pleasure to investigate Lip Shine Available in pots 15 or wands 17 50 this gloss is to die for I love the creamy texture with just the right stickiness not too gummy and shine to last and feel great on your lips I tried the pot gloss in Butterscotch a subtle light caramel brown hence the name and the wand gloss in Pink Jewel a light pearly pink On my fair skin the pink looks a little pale I think it would suit someone with a medium complexion better The glosses also come in colors like melon sugarplum deep purple lollipop bright pink and pixie shimmery gold Brow Queen Pencils 20 I m not a big fan of brow pencils when I actually bother with my brows I usually use just a clear gel but these pencils are nice They are waterproof smearproof and surprising sheer so it s hard to make a mistake They also have a spooly brush like a mascara wand on one end for blending and shaping Brow Queen comes in bambi for pale blonds bunny for dark blonds and puppy for brunettes Personally I would not make a habit of spending 20 for an eyebrow pencil but since I have one I will use it and enjoy it For more information on Valerie of Beverly Hills stop

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT June 12 1998 Of all the product lines I ve tried over the years I have to admit that Clinique has never been one of my favorites As someone with sensitive skin of one form or another I ve always had a hard time finding anything Clinique that didn t burn dry out or otherwise irritate my skin In all fairness however I decided it was time to give Clinique another shot and make a real effort to find products that could really work for me I think I m getting close too My testing adventure started with a few basics including part of Clinique s in famous 3 Step System Rinse off Foaming Cleanser 14 50 for 5 ounce tube For summer when my T zone gets a little on the oily side this cleanser is a nice choice that doesn t overdry You only need the tiniest amount the size of a small pea to get all the lather you need to take off makeup in a flash For normal combination or slightly oily skin Rinse off is a keeper that I give 4 out of 5 stars My one gripe that has always bothered me about Clinique skin care is that they consider this cleanser a makeup remover only then they expect you to wash your face again with their Facial Soap as Step One of their system The soap isn t special it can t clean your skin more deeply and it won t do anything this cleanser didn t do except maybe dry your skin out Skip the soap and move on to Step Two Mild Clarifying Lotion 9 50 for 6 7 ounces All the Clarifying Lotions are considered Step Two and all but one are really too harsh for just about every skin type to successfully use every day Levels 1 through 4 all contain high levels of alcohol salicylic acid menthol and chemicals you might find in nail polish remover or paint thinner Yikes Thankfully this Mild version is much gentler alcohol free and still has the exfoliating properties of salicylic acid The thicker liquid lotion consistency may take getting used to if you are oily but believe me it s worth it If your toner is too harsh and stripping it will only make oily skin produce more oil I give Mild Clarifying Lotion 4 out of 5 stars Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion 10 50 for 2 ounces I hate to be cliche but here goes there is nothing dramatic nor different about this lotion There I said it Seriously though DDML is basically water mineral oil sesame oil thickeners and preservatives As a basic moisturizer for someone with normal to dry skin who isn t irritated by mineral oil it s a fine choice that earns 3 out of 5 stars For me however mineral oil always makes me break out so I was not so lucky With so many other Clinique moisturizers to choose from I m hoping there s one out there with my name on it All About Eyes 25 Clinique has a huge range of skin care products to add to your regular cleansing routine including several eye cream choices All About Eyes is the newest and I think the best It successfully combines the benefits of a gel reduces puffiness feels cooling and soothing on the skin with the moisturizing and smoothing properties of a cream The texture is very silky and makes a fantastic base for eye makeup without crumbling or creasing All About Eyes is near perfection earning 4 5 out of 5 stars Coming up next week I m pleased to bring you reviews of the drugstore AHA line Aqua Glycolic It s a reasonably priced alternative to the high priced brands and hopefully just as effective or better See you then Searching for a perfect sunscreen for summer This month s Feature Sunscreen Favorites is your perfect summer shopping guide to some of the best sun protection products

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT June 6 1999 Readers like you frequently ask me What are your favorite products and of course my answer is ever changing This week I thought I d share a few new favorites that you might like too On a recent trip to the East Coast to visit family I visited the MAC freestanding store in West Farms Mall in Farmington CT to see the new foundation colors click here for details on the new colors and to check out the Studio Line Cream Makeup that you can t get at the regular department store MAC counters This is not the Studio Fix powder foundation I have mentioned in the past but a full coverage cream makeup that MAC designed for film and TV use At first I was afraid the finish would be thick and unnatural but it s actually very easy to use easy to control the coverage and looks like your own skin not makeup This product is NOT oil free has jojoba oil but I had no acne problems whatsoever and was really pleased with the texture on my normal to dry skin This is also the first makeup I ve tried that looks better when applied with your fingers than with a sponge Just a small dab on the areas you want to cover blends easily and has excellent coverage If you use it under your eyes for dark circles just be sure to add a light dusting of loose powder so the makeup doesn t crease In case you are wondering I wear NC15 in the new color scheme As I ve mentioned in previous reports I prefer body washes over regular soap and am always on the lookout for one that lathers well but doesn t dry my skin I thought I had found a winner with Dove Nutrium the new wash with two products in one a cleanser on one side of the tube and a vitamin E lotion on the other When you squeeze the tube the two products come together on the puff This is a great idea in theory but what ends up happening is that you go through one side faster than the other so by the time you get to the end of the tube you are either washing with straight cleanser too drying or straight lotion Yuck If Dove would incorporate the ingredients into the same tube it would be much better Since the Dove body wash didn t work for me I decided to try Oil of Olay s new Daily Renewal Moisturizing Body Wash I think we have a winner here This body wash has great lather and comes in two fragrances Revitalizing rather perfume y and Calming my favorite since it s more subtle and light It s not quite as emollient as Dove Nutrium but still works well and leaves the skin soft and comfortable I rarely wear perfume but once in a while I like to do something special for myself Estee Lauder s new Pleasures Cooling Liquid Talc and Silky Massage Cream 29 50 each are my current fragrance favorites The liquid talc feels cool and refreshing on the skin perfect for hot summer days while the massage cream is great for moisturizing dry skin it has tiny jojoba beads that break open and add more moisture to your skin Both have a light floral scent that is feminine without being overpowering Looking for a particular review or curious if I ve ever reviewed your favorite brand of lipstick Try out our search function to make your quest easier Simply click on the search button on

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT June 5 1998 Looking for more great drugstore finds Last week s drugstore edition of The Cosmetic Report was a big hit so keep those review suggestions coming for future issues This week my entry for new drugstore favorite is Mild Daily Cleansing Scrub around 6 for 5 ounce tube from Biore the company with the blackhead removal strips For those days when your skin needs a little extra cleansing this scrub is terrific The non foaming base is exactly like Biore s Non Foaming Cleansing Gel and the tiny exfoliating beads are gentle enough that you really could use this scrub every day Any and all skin types will agree Biore has hit a homerun with this new product I give it 5 out of 5 stars My quest to review the newest products never ends During a recent trip to a local department store I decided to take advantage of Clinique s Bonus Time gift with purchase Although many of Clinique s skin care products are too harsh for my skin this gift had a nice assortment of makeup travel brushes and treatment that seemed worthwhile For my minimum purchase their new City Cover Compact Concealer SPF 15 12 50 was my top choice A companion to City Base Compact Foundation cream to powder makeup City Cover is a silky concealer that turns from lightweight cream to smooth undetectable powder in seconds This is the first concealer I ve tried that doesn t need a layer of powder over it to keep it from creasing or migrating City Cover comes in four shades in a mirrored compact with its own brush a little rough at first but not bad I really like this concealer and readily give it 5 out of 5 stars Since first trying Awake cosmetics during my recent visit to New York City I couldn t resist investigating several other products in the line With summer just around the corner facial masks are always a nice treatment for sudden breakouts or excessive oiliness Awake s two masks Sebum Clear Mask 40 for 2 1 ounce tube and Smooth Clear Mask 40 for 2 8 ounce tube are both peel off and designed to deep clean your pores and leave your skin looking fresh and smooth My results were mixed I first tried Smooth Clear for all skin types and was pleased with how smooth my skin looked This mask is a bit thicker than most peel offs I ve tried so it seemed to pull more dirt and gunk out of my skin I d give Smooth Clear 4 out of 5 stars at 40 it s too expensive to be perfect Sebum Clear was another story I knew it was designed for more oily blemish prone skin like the T zone but I never expected the mask to be like rubber cement Unless you have very tough skin I can t stress enough how uncomfortable this mask is to remove I must have peeled and pulled for 5 minutes trying to get it all off and by the time I did my face was as red as a tomato If I lived in New York City and could return this mask to the Awake counter I would It gets my lowest 0 out of 5 stars Searching for a perfect sunscreen for summer This month s Feature

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT May 30 1999 This week I am very pleased to bring you my review of Sage Skin Care located online at http www zerozits com When I m not locked up in my bathroom testing cleansers and trying different brands of eye shadow I am regularly online surfing around for interesting beauty sites During a recent jaunt I discovered Sage Skin Care by Barbara Strickland Barbara is a published author and has 17 years experience as a Para Medical Esthetician Her Sage Skin Care site features products she has created to treat acne fine lines wrinkles and skin discolorations Barbara also shares some great information in articles about preventing acne avoiding common skin care product ingredients that can aggravate acne and using sunscreen religiously Here are a couple of Barbara s tips that I now swear by o Wash your face with slightly warm to cool water Hot or very warm might feel good but that heat makes the skin swell and your pimples get irritated Now that we re getting into summer try using cool water and see how refreshing it feels o In Barbara s words Be an acne detective Learn about product ingredients and which ones to avoid This advice alone has made a marked improvement in my skin far beyond what any one cream or mask could do I never realized just how many ingredients I was using regularly were making my problem skin worse When you first visit Sage Skin Care and browse the selection of products you may wonder why everything seems a little expensive This is not another skin care line charging high prices for fancy packaging and expensive advertising what you are paying for is truly product quality and unbelievable service For every customer and every product ordered Barbara will work with you to get the best results for your skin whether that means exchanging products reformulating ingredients or customizing a program that suits your needs I only wish every shopping experience could be so warm personal and thorough Corrective Grains 17 50 for 4 ounces Because Barbara will re blend her products depending on your skin s reaction to the initial formula made of ammonium lauryl sulfate aloe vera benzoyl peroxide 2 polyethylene beads aloe vera and preservative I actually tried two versions of this scrub The first was a little too grainy and drying for my skin so Barbara made a new blend with fewer scrub grains and more cold pressed aloe vera and hydrolyzed sunflower oil which worked wonderfully for me I also modified my program so I use the scrub once a day in the morning rather than morning and night I almost can t imagine my morning without it Facial Shampoo 17 50 for 4 ounces Again some trial and error led me to trying three different versions of this cleanser The first was a little too drying for my normal to dry skin made of ammonium lauryl sulfate aloe vera hydrolyzed safflower oil allantoin panthenic acid and preservative so Barbara sent me two other formulas one foaming with more cold pressed aloe and one non foaming with hydrolyzed safflower oil I love both and use the foaming in the shower and the non foaming at night This cleanser is very gentle and removes all your makeup effortlessly without irritating your eyes SPF 25 Sunblock 21 for 4 ounces For my pale skin sunblock is something I already use faithfully but never really liked Almost all the ones I ve tried are thick too white smell awful or leave my skin feeling greasy Barbara created hers to work with the water left on your skin after cleansing so it absorbs more quickly and easily into your skin It contains octyl methoxy cinnimate uvb octyl salicylate uvb menthyl anthranilate uva titanium dioxide uva plus aloe vera If you never use sunscreen because you hate the consistency consider this one I don t get ready in the morning without it Gelloid Moisturizer and Masque 40 for 4 ounces Here s another example of trying more than one formula The original Gelloid made of cold pressed aloe vera allantoin hydrolyzed safflower and sunflower oil panthenic acid chamomile vitamin c and preservative wasn t absorbing well into my skin so Barbara tweaked it for me The only downside is that I can t use it around my eyes if it gets anywhere near them my eyes get red and teary Otherwise this is a great lightweight cream that makes the skin feel supple and smooth Glycolic Acid 12 Smoothing Cream 60 for 2 ounces I ve been an advocate of AHAs for acne prone skin for quite some time and I ve tried just about every brand out there I can honestly say I like this one the best Unlike most AHAs this one also has BHA salicylic acid and vitamin C in a surprisingly non comedogenic base of aloe vera allantoin hydrolyzed safflower oil and hydrolyzed sunflower oil that smooths the skin and reduces fine lines and blotchiness from old acne I ve had better results and less irritation with this than any other AHA I ve tried Old Lady Cream 40 for 2 ounces This is the only Sage product that didn t wow me It s a basic moisturizer that seals in the moisture on your skin I used it on some dry patches and around my eyes for a while but didn t see a dramatic difference My re formulated Gelloid plus a regular eye cream I m using Alpha Hydrox now do a better job for me Miracle Zit 35 for 8 ounces At the heart of the Sage acne fighting program is this benzoyl peroxide cream It s free of the irritating fillers that most drugstore brands have and is designed to be used on your whole face or wherever you regularly breakout as well as for spot treating individual pimples Personally I could only use it on individual pimples my skin does not react well to benzoyl peroxide all over so I use prescription erythromycin gel and Differin all over my face instead XX Miracle Zit 40 for 8 ounces For especially large cystic pimples this extra strength cream works quickly within 24 48 hours without drying your skin to death This version is NOT designed to be used all over your face One of the best ways to try Sage products is in a Try Me Pack For around 50 you get 2 ounce sizes of the products most appropriate for your skin complete with Barbara s great service and advice If you want to try the products and see how your skin does this is a great way to do it For more information about Sage Skin Care including product descriptions and online ordering visit http www zerozits com

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT May 29 1998 This week I thought it would be fun to do an all drugstore edition of The Cosmetic Report After a stroll through my favorite local pharmacy I bring you a few of my favorite finds Since I love to save money and find great deals I d like to do an all drugstore issue from time to time Please feel free to email me with your drugstore favorites and I d be happy to review them Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque around 2 99 for 8 ounce tube Don t get caught up the rather hopeful claims this company makes for this mask it s a basic clay mask with a spearmint gum fragrance Its two kinds of clay kaolin and bentonite are standard in most clay masks and do a great job of absorbing excess surface oils and drawing out those nasty cyst pimples Glycerin and propylene glycol help attract and keep moisture in the skin so it doesn t get too dried out from the clays Sulfur is a mild antiseptic and is used in many acne treatment products but beware if you have sensitive skin as it can be irritating Add a little coloring and fragrance and you ve got a very basic but nicely effective mask It won t really rinse away blackheads like the label says but it will cleanse the skin and leave it feeling smooth and exfoliated What more could you want I give it 4 out of 5 stars St Ives Swiss Formula Vanilla Vitamin E Body Lotion Mist around 3 99 for 8 ounces I get bored with regular body lotions and I can never get into the habit of using them every day so this easy to use spray from St Ives is a great alternative In addition to vanilla it also comes in peach apricot and sunflower Just spray it on rub it in if you like and you are moisturized and ready to go The spray really feels like liquid lotion not oily or greasy at all A real winner that I give 5 out of 5 stars Lubriderm Daily UV Lotion with SPF 15 sunscreen around 7 59 for 16 ounces I can t believe it took Lubriderm so long to come out with this lotion but I m so glad they did Lubriderm is one of my favorites for a great all over body lotion and even face lotion in a pinch that never feels greasy or heavy Now with UVA UVB SPF 15 sunscreen it s ideal If you hate the heavy oily feeling and and pina colada smell of most sunscreens you ll love how different this one is Easily gets my best 5 out of 5 stars SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT May 22 1999 Thanks for being patient while I was on vacation last week This week I am pleased to bring you my review of Youngblood skin care Enjoy After trying Youngblood s mineral makeup I was curious about their skin care They have a fairly small range of products which is a nice change from so many lines that have 5 different creams that all supposed to reduce wrinkles I found some definite favorites here that may be worth trying if you are looking for something new Sudsing Cucumber Gel If you have normal to oily or oily skin this is a nice choice in foaming cleansers It s not too drying removes makeup fairly well and leaves the skin feeling fresh Personally I can t use it too often on my sensitive combination skin I get dry and flaky but it is a nice pick me up once in a while at the end of the day or in the shower Papaya Enzyme Scrub I LOVE this scrub Even though my skin is sensitive to certain ingredients I always love a good scrub and my skin seems to look better when I exfoliate regularly This scrub has small waxy beads and fruit enzymes in a creamy base that I have found works well on just about any skin type Keep this in the shower instead of regular cleanser and your skin will be glowing every morning Stimulating Toner Youngblood has two toners one with witch hazel this one and one without the one below I like this toner as a refreshing change from so many toners with alcohol a big no no in my book The long list of plant extracts including cucumber lemon grapefruit orange lime rosemary mandarin sage clary geranium lavadin galbanum and citronella are surprisingly subtle and I found non irritating I would definitely recommend this toner Refreshing Toner For my more sensitive skin days I prefer this toner to the one above because it s simple and no frills The chamomile and ginseng are subtle and soothing and I definitely appreciate that it s alcohol free Oil Control Hydrating Fluid I wish I could say I liked this lotion but it has way too many comedogenic potentially acne causing ingredients like algae extract isopropyl palmitate octyl palmitate sesame oil stearic acid glyceryl stearate SE and triethanolamine This lotion is like an acne time bomb I also have no idea how this lotion could have oil control properties with sesame oil so high on the ingredient list If you have problem skin and use products with ingredients like these you may be perpetuating the problem without even knowing it Thanks to Sage Skin Care for their comprehensive chart to acne causing ingredients located at http www zerozits com article6 shtml inglist Nurturing Primrose Complex For dry skin this cream is a really nice blend of essential oils and extracts like primrose ecchanacia hemp st john s wort kola kelp tea tree green tea rose and grapefruit I had no acne problems with it and found it absorbed easily even when I slathered it on For more information on Youngblood products visit their website at http

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT May 22 1998 Like most cosmetic and skin care junkies I may be perfectly satisfied with the products I m using now but I am still always on the lookout for something newer and better When I spotted Freeman s new Skin Plus vitamin C line at my local drugstore I knew I had to try it All of the products contain an anti oxidant vitamin complex of A C E and B5 to help firm and protect your skin I used the products for almost a month and here s what I thought Cleanser Toner around 6 29 for 8 ounces At first I liked the clean feeling and light minty tingle of this cleanser and it didn t seem to dry my normal to dry skin After a few weeks however the condition of my skin started going downhill increased oil several breakouts all because my skin was dried out and working overtime to produce more oil to compensate For drier skin I would definitely recommend something else For normal combination or slightly oily skin this cleanser is still a good choice and deserves 3 5 out of 5 stars Moisturizer SPF15 around 7 39 for 2 5 ounces With summer approaching it s more important than ever to make sure your morning skin care routine includes a sunscreen This oil free lotion combines a lightweight sunscreen with the line s anti oxidant vitamin complex to smooth and protect This is a great find that I give 4 out of 5 stars Eye Cream around 8 39 for 5 ounce tube This is a good basic eye cream that you can use morning or night It doesn t ball up under makeup and the lightweight texture absorbs easily without feeling heavy or greasy For any skin type and any age this eye cream is a fine choice that I give 4 out of 5 stars Night Repair around 8 39 for 1 ounce In addition to the vitamin complex Night Repair also contains glycolic acid an alpha hydroxy acid to gently exfoliate dead skin cells away while you sleep If you are new to AHAs this lightweight formula is a nice introduction for those of us who use an AHA or BHA regularly it just isn t strong enough to notice a difference As a decent treatment for new AHA users I give Night Repair 3 5 out of 5 stars For more information about Freeman cosmetics visit their website at http www freemancosmetics com With summer hopefully just around the corner I decided it s time to find the perfect sunscreen something that would work well without making my skin break out A quick tip sunscreens do get old and go bad If you have a tube laying around that you haven t used since last summer consider throwing it out and getting a new one I didn t realize how old one of mine was until I put it on my face and wow did it ever sting Do yourself a favor and invest in a new bottle I chose Estee Lauder s new Advanced Suncare SunBlock for Face SPF 25 19 50 for 1 7 ounce tube but I think I need to keep looking While it ll be great for the beach or weekend outdoor activities this SunBlock is too white and pastey looking for everyday wear My search continues EL SunBlock gets 3 out of 5 stars While our skin usually gets a little oilier in the summer summer highlights and chlorinated swimming pools always manage to dry out our hair Bumble bumble comes to the rescue with their new Gentle Shampoo and Deeep Conditioner Gentle Shampoo is a fairly basic creamy shampoo that is just what it says gentle It s a good choice for those days when your hair is feeling particularly dry or just in need of some special attention I like it and give it 4 out of 5 stars Deeep Conditioner yes that s spelled correctly is also nice as a daily treatment for chronically dry hair or weekly for less damaged types The protein and plant oils help smooth and soften even the most damaged hair in no time Deeep gets my approval with 4 5 out of 5 stars Be sure to check out bumble and bumble s

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT May 8 1998 For those of you with sensitive skin finding products that really make a difference can be a frustrating and sometimes painful experience Although everyone s version of sensitive skin can be different I was interested to know if any of the lines specifically created for sensitive skin actually work One of the first complete lines of products for sensitive skin is V rit for truly sensitive skin from Estee Lauder While V rit is geared toward minimizing the chances of irritation from emulsifiers and fillers that most skin care products contain I didn t find that the products work any miracles That s not to say that I didn t like them but I think for what you are paying they should be able to noticeably calm and soothe red irritated skin better than they do LightLotion Cleanser 22 50 for 6 7 ounces 5 out of 5 stars The product s name really says it all If you favor a lotion cleanser this is an excellent choice for any skin type It removes makeup easily and leaves the skin soft and supple As with any of these products its effectiveness for sensitive skin really depends on the individual SoftFoam Cleanser 22 50 for 4 2 ounce tube 5 out of 5 stars The only product in the V rit line that I was truly impressed with was this foaming cleanser Many people with sensitive skin can t tolerate the drying stripping feeling from most foaming cleansers but this one is really different The low lather and high concentration of moisturizers keeps the skin from drying out so it actually feels better not worse after cleansing Soothing Spray Toner 22 50 for 6 7 ounces 4 5 out of 5 stars Toners can often be irritating to sensitive skin but this spray is surprisingly soothing On a warm day or when you need a little extra moisture under your moisturizer this spray is cooling and refreshing Spray it on after cleansing then immediately apply your moisturizer to get the best moisturizing benefits Calming Fluid 60 for 1 7 ounces 4 out of 5 stars For many people with sensitive skin the thickeners and emulsifiers ingredients that keep other ingredients in a product combined together can be the very cause of irritation Calming Fluid is very lightweight and emulsifier free perfect for slightly oily normal or combination skin I didn t notice any immediate soothing or reduction in redness but my skin did feel better with this light fluid than it has with some heavier creams I must get a dozen or more email every day from women wondering how to get rid of dark undereye circles and puffiness Let me tell you I am right there with you I recently added to my vast collection of eye treatment gels and creams the new Eye Solution hydrating eye gel 45 from English Ideas the maker of Lip Last lipstick sealant While I think 45 is a little steep for this tiny 33 ounce bottle of gel it is one of the most cooling eye gels I ve tried Designed primarily to minimize puffiness Eye Solution contains witch hazel aloe gel vitamin E vitamin A and three forms of vitamin C along with glycerin and panthenol to cool soothe and moisturize One pump is all you need for both eyes and you can really feel the cooling effect for several minutes after you apply it I like it but I also like several other eye gels from Garden Botanika Beauty Without Cruelty and Kiehl s that all cost less and work just as well Eye Solution gets 3 5 out of 5 stars After you ve tackled undereye puffiness English Ideas has another nifty new product for your lashes Duo Lash treatment mascara 28 has a white primer coat on one end designed to repair and strengthen your lashes and a light reflective color pigment on the other While the primer won t work miracles it does cling to lashes to make them look a bit thicker and longer The colored pigment defines lashes and adds a bit of color with no clumps or blobs for natural looking lashes Again much like the English Ideas eye gel I like this product but the price is a bit high for what you get I give Duo Lash 3 out of 5 stars If trying to find makeup colors that work together and look great on you leaves you frazzled Origins Greatest Hits makeup kit 25 for a limited time is for you Each of the three kits comes with three eye shadows a blush and a lipstick all color coordinated for your complexion in volume 1 warm 2 neutral or 3 cool Although I tend to favor cool colors volume 3 cool is mostly deep plums and berries a little darker than I wanted so I chose volume 2 neutral with soft browns and a bronzer blush All the colors are soft and blendable and completely portable in a cardboard CD style case I even got a free promotional size Fringe Benefits mascara with my kit I give Greatest Hits 4 out of 5 stars Tired of spending a fortune on department store products You don t

Enter our Profaces Professional Brush Kit contest today http www kleinman com cosmetic springcontest4 html Thanks to everyone who wrote to me sharing your favorites for long wearing lipsticks and foundations I was reminded of a few I had reviewed and forgotten about like Maybelline Great Wear makeup went out and bought a new bottle Lip Ink Clinique Superlast lipstick and Avon Perfect Wear Double Performance lipstick I ll be dragging these out of my Caboodles and putting them into regular rotation in my makeup bag Thanks I ve been getting quite a few requests lately for drugstore reviews so this week I thought I d share my findings on a few new products L Oreal QuickStick foundation Almay Stay Smooth mascara and Biore Pore Perfect Ultra Deep Cleansing Strips L Oreal QuickStick Instant Foundation L Oreal is a little late on the stick foundation scene but this product is a decent addition If you dislike most stick foundations because they are too thick and heavy this one may be for you QuickStick has a smooth slightly powdery finish similar to Prescriptives Exact Matchstick that feels very light on the skin and wears fairly well on normal combination and slightly dry skin Oily skin may see some traveling by mid day so be sure to take along some pressed powder or blotting tissues If you have dry skin that is flaky QuickStick is not for you try Estee Lauder Minute Makeup or Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick instead for a creamier finish One other downside is the color selection of the 9 to choose from some are too pink some are too orange y I found a pretty decent match with Pale but I do prefer something with a more yellow undertone Almay Stay Smooth Mascara For some reason Almay decided that we needed yet another mascara choice to solve our on going clumping problems Stay Smooth promises lots of lashes not lots of globs On the cap of the tube is a small eyelash comb that you are supposed to use after applying the mascara to get rid of globs and define the lashes Okay am I the only one who s thinking If this mascara is so smooth why do I need a comb Why would I want to go to the trouble when there are plenty of mascaras that don t glob and don t need a comb I have NO idea what Almay was thinking when they came up with this one Do yourself a favor and save your money Biore Pore Perfect Ultra Deep Cleansing Strips I suppose if you are let s say not lacking in the nose department I can identify these new larger strips from Biore could come in handy They are a bit larger than the originals so if you don t have a cute little button nose you can still get those hard to reach pores clean What I can t figure out is why Biore thought these strips needed tea tree oil and menthol which irritate like crazy as if ripping the strip off isn t irritating enough I ve always had good luck with the original Biore strip but these are a total waste of money You can t be a makeup enthusiast without the right tools so this month we offer an alternative to the trendy but oh so expensive makeup brushes at the department stores See why our Panelist Elaine can afford to buy all the makeup she craves even on a budget May Feature Makeup Brush

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT May 2 1999 Here s a question for you if you could only have one cosmetic item what would it be For most women the answer is lipstick Personally I have an obnoxious number of colors most of which I never wear but hang on to just in case You never know when you might need that perfect shade of red right Combine my affection for lipstick with my passion for new makeup and well that s how Cosmetic Connection was born This week I tested two new lipsticks that for very different reasons are worth considering to add to your lipstick library Now that I m a mom I find I don t wear lipstick very much because I don t want to smear it all over my daughter s face Naturally I tried some of the long wearing transfer resistant lipsticks like Revlon ColorStay and hated them too dry When I spotted Maybelline s new Hydra Time lipstick at the drugstore I hoped it would be the answer It s not but I still like it Maybelline cleverly calls this lipstick extended wear meaning you can t expect it to be really long wearing or transfer resistant This lipstick is nicely moist and supple a fantastic improvement over lipstick like ColorStay but with that moisture comes a little color loss if you press your lips on anything I found lightly blotting with a tissue after the color sets helps then it lasts fairly well Hydra Time comes in a great selection of pretty colors with fun names like Prankster Tempt Frolic Brat and Adoring My next new lipstick find is Avon s new Hydra Finish lipstick I liked this one too even though it is anything but transfer resistant If you wish you could fit your favorite moisturizer in a tube and call it lipstick this is about as close you ll get Hydra Finish has 20 water making it super smooth and super hydrating like a great moisturizer Since it is so light and moist you will have to reapply frequently to keep the color on all day but considering that it doesn t cake or dry out like most lipsticks I didn t mind At 7 each actually less than most drugstore lipsticks these days you can afford to try a couple of shades I got Tender excellent everyday neutral medium pink brown and Berry too bright for my taste but a pretty raspberry fuchsia The response to our cosmetic giveaways has been so tremendous I ve decided have another one This is a big one Philosophy s Coloring Book and Pocket Book makeup kits Whether you are

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT May 1 1998 After a much needed vacation to New York City for great food and outstanding theater and New England for long overdue family visits I am back and ready to share my cosmetic adventures from the Big Apple Being the cosmetic enthusiast that I am I always spend more time planning what makeup and skin care I m going to take on a trip than I do planning what to wear Just before my trip I decided to pick up Shiseido s new Liquid Compact Makeup 25 for foundation 10 for airtight compact to take with me It looks very much like the Vincent Longo Water Canvas makeup that I like so much so I was curious how it would compare Liquid Compact is a medium coverage cream makeup with SPF 15 sun protection that feels like a liquid but sets to a natural demi matte finish Much like the Longo Water Canvas Liquid Compact has a high water content and needs to be housed in its special airtight compact Liquid Compact works great for any skin type even drier skins that can t normally wear compact makeup and it comes in all the regular Shiseido foundation shades While it has a bit more coverage than the Longo product the look and feel is still very natural like you aren t wearing any foundation For its light feel natural look portability great sun protection and fairly reasonable price I readily give Shiseido Liquid Compact Makeup 5 out of 5 stars While in NYC I was determined to at least see the much talked about Japanese skin care and makeup line Awake Located in Henri Bendel s department store on 5th Avenue and West 56th Street in Manhattan Awake skin care and makeup contain botanical ingredients anti oxidants and specially treated pigments that help prevent irritation to the skin When a very friendly salesperson invited me to a free consultation and makeup application how could I refuse My face was first cleansed and conditioned with Awake s Lotion Refresher an alcohol free botanical toner designed for all skin types It was cool and refreshing leaving my skin feeling soft and supple Next Awake s signature product and the most expensive item in the line at 60 Nano Essence oil free gel moisturizer was applied all over my face as a moisturizer and base for my makeup Nano Essence contains a cucumber derived ingredient called SOD super oxide dismutase that is supposed to be the most effective anti oxidant and free radical scavenger you can get I couldn t tell if it was working how can you really but the lightweight gel felt incredibly refreshing while still giving my normal to dry skin the moisture it needed I liked it especially compared to the heavy creams and lotions I normally use so I might consider spending the 60 for it The final skin care step was a thin layer of Hydro Plus Eye gel around each eye The gel contains liquid crystals vitamin E ginseng and horsetail extracts to help reduce puffiness and keep the eye area moisturized Again the gel was nice and light and very refreshing My makeup application included a base of Bisque oil free foundation and Bisque cream concealer topped with a light dusting of Ivory loose powder Although the oil free foundation is considered full coverage I found you can adjust the coverage to suit your needs and it still looks fresh and natural not heavy or masky This mid morning application lasted all day and looked fresh into the night through dinner and the theater without caking streaking or changing color For color the artist used Peach Ivory and African Violet eye shadows both gorgeous Raisin blush a fantastic light pink plum shade and Pine lipliner neutral brown pink with Gypsy Rose lipgloss on my lips All the color cosmetics are soft and wearable shades that would look great on anyone If you find yourself in NYC I would highly recommend a visit to the Awake counter at Bendel s After my makeover at Awake my next stop was Bliss Spa for a tube of my favorite Remede cleanser Milky Wash 28 and a tube of their Sweep gentle facial exfoliant 36 I had heard about Sweep and was dying to try it especially to see if it s worth 36 Unlike most scrubs with crushed seeds or little wax beads Sweep gets its scrubbing action from superfine marble powder Just a small dab of Sweep either alone or mixed in with your cleanser gives just the right amount of exfoliation Sweep is drier and finer than most scrubs so be careful not to scrub too vigorously I like it and give it 4 out of 5 stars but I doubt I d pay 36 again for it It s Beauty Pack time again here at Cosmetic Connection Congratulations to April s lucky winners Wendy Coleman of Lewisville Texas and Debra Myers of Fair Oaks California April is the last month of our Beauty Pack contest so thanks to everyone who signed up We hope you enjoyed all your free goodies Just when I

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT April 24 1998 Just when I think I ve reviewed everything new there is to try something comes along to make my makeup testing adventures a little more interesting For the first time in more than ten years I was re introduced to the Jafra skin care and cosmetics line this week when I was young my mom had a Jafra skin care party at our house for all her friends I remember the smell of their Royal Jelly cream like it was yesterday Jafra is a consultant based company much like Avon Mary Kay or BeautiControl and it was one very friendly Jafra consultant who graciously offered to send me a selection of samples This week I bring you my findings on some of their color cosmetics Supertone Moisturizing Makeup SPF 6 11 75 3 5 out of 5 stars Supertone is a medium coverage foundation that comes in a wide range of colors that are categorized as warm neutral or cool These categories would be very helpful if they were actually accurate but I found they really weren t Even though I tried four different colors alabaster porcelain shell and bisque from the warm neutral and cool groups none of them was quite right on my skin Porcelain was too pink even though it s labelled neutral and both shell and bisque have pink tones even though they are warm Since alabaster was the closest to my skin color I road tested it for wearability and I really liked it The texture is smooth creating a flawless finish without feeling heavy or thick The name may say moisturizing but the formula would work well for normal combination or slightly dry skin This foundation is worth a try just make sure you try on several colors before you buy Time Perfector Lipstick 10 4 5 out of 5 stars I tried this lipstick in apple shimmer and really liked the soft sheer color and SPF 15 sun protection The texture is creamy and moist great as a light weekend lipcolor Classic Long Lasting Lipstick 7 50 4 out of 5 stars This is a traditional creamy lipstick that wears well holds up to a few cups of coffee or glasses of water without disappearing completely it does come off a little on the glass though and feels creamy and comfortable Lip Gloss 7 3 5 out of 5 stars As lip glosses go this one is nice not too thick or goopy with a subtle shine Like most glosses it comes in a tube with a sponge wand applicator OptiMascara 7 2 5 out of 5 stars The mascara itself is fine basic and defining but what was Jafra thinking when they designed the brush With short stubby bristles all over and some randomly placed longer ones on one side of the brush even I can t figure out what the benefit of the design is If you just use the longer bristles the mascara goes on well with minimal clumps for natural looking lashes For more information on Jafra or to find a consultant near you call 1 800 551 2345 In a continuing effort to control my occasional stress and hormone related breakouts I decided to try Neutrogena Multi Vitamin Acne Treatment 5 80 with 1 5 salicylic acid and glycolic acid What a difference After using this lotion every morning for three weeks my skin looks clearer and I haven t had any new breakouts Unlike most acne treatments that are designed for teenagers Neutrogena made this lotion gentle and less drying for adult skin that may not be oily If you suffer from mild adult acne Multi Vitamin Acne Treatment is worth a try earning 4 5 out of 5 stars At the end of a long day or after a late night with friends my eyes always look worn out puffy and just plain pooped Using an eye gel usually helps a little but this week I found something that is truly cooling and refreshing Andrea Eye Q Stress Relief Eye Masks at drugstores for around 4 for a box of 4 treatments Just open the foil wrapper take out the two pre soaked pads place them under your eyes and relax for 15 minutes The pads have a cooling gel liquid that depuffs and refreshes like magic For the ultimate cooling treatment I like to keep mine in the fridge These are great and cheap so I give them 5 out of 5 stars The Makeup Diva is in If you ve ever considered buying one of those cellulite creams be sure to read this week s Ask The Makeup Diva column for a

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT April 23 1999 After a recent magazine interview with Martha Stewart in which she says she swears by Mario Badescu skin care I naturally got dozens of requests from readers like you wanting to know more about the line Since I was already curious about it myself I was happy to oblige I called the spa number and spoke to a Skin Specialist to figure out the best MB products for my skin The woman asked me some questions quickly labelled my skin combination and created a regimen for me These are the products I was recommended Orange Cleansing Soap for all skin types 12 for 8 ounces Considering the number of products I ve tried I would say I ve learn quite a bit along the way If you have sensitive skin like I do learning to understand an ingredient label can be a big help I ve discovered that there are quite a few ingredients that are infamous for irritating acne prone but not oily skin like mine and this cleanser is no exception The second ingredient after water is stearic acid known for its pore clog ability If you have a tendency towards breakouts you ve got quite a blackhead fest here In terms of cleansing power Orange Cleansing Soap does a fair job of removing an average amount of makeup but you have to be careful around the eye area it can really sting Personally I can think of several other gentler cleansers that I d much rather use Garden Botanika Skin Renewing Cleanser Biore non foaming gel BeneFit All Types Wash RoC Cleanser Toner In One Cucumber Cleansing Lotion for combination and dry skin types 15 for 8 ounces I have never been a fan of alcohol in toners too drying so when the skin care specialist at MB recommended this one for me I questioned it She insisted that my skin needed it to keep the pores clean Far be it for me to argue with a specialist but this is simply not true and definitely not what my skin needed It left me feeling very dry and uncomfortable The one slightly redeeming quality about this toner is that it has real honest to goodness cucumber bits floating around in it If they could just leave the alcohol out they might have something good here Maybe I should make my own cucumber toner at home Hyaluronic Eye Cream for all skin types 18 for 5 ounce jar This was one of the few MB products that I really liked and didn t have any kind of adverse reaction to This is an emollient cream with carnation oil aloe and hyaluronic acid to really moisturize the dry areas around the eyes My only advice is to be careful how close you get this cream to your eye as it can creep in and make your eyes feel filmy and your vision temporarily cloudy Otherwise I liked this cream very much Oil Free Moisturizer SPF17 for combination oily and sensitive skin types 17 for 2 ounces Again I have to mention the surprising ingredients in products that claim to be for combination oily and sensitive skin This lotion is oil free and does have a nice silky feel but it contains cetyl alcohol glyceryl stearate stearic acid myristyl lactate AND triethanolamine all of which can contribute to major breakouts I would definitely not recommend this lotion to someone with any sort of acne problem Seaweed Night Cream for combination dry and sensitive skin types 18 for 1 ounce jar This very emollient cream gave me some much needed relief from the drying cleansing soap and toner but truly good skin care should not put the skin into a cycle like this drying it out with one thing and replacing the lost moisture with something else Everything should work independently and be gentle on the skin I have to again point out possible breakout problems with this cream for those of us who get pimples even in dry areas hormones can do crazy things to your skin This cream has stearic acid and isopropyl myristate both of which rate high for pimple possibility I would not be concerned about this were the cream not labelled in part for combination skin For someone with dry skin and no breakout tendencies this cream is a fine choice Almond Honey Non Abrasive Face Scrub for all skin types 15 for 4 ounce jar This has to be the most abrasive non abrasive scrub I ve ever tried This is not a bad scrub just poorly named Oatmeal kaolin clay and corn meal provide the texture while honey almond oil and algae extract soothe and moisturize The only ingredient I find completely unnecessary is PVP a plastic resin often found in hairspray which leaves a strange waxy film on the skin Definitely not my idea of clean Strawberry Tonic Mask for combination oily and sensitive skin types 18 for 2 ounce jar This is a basic kaolin clay mask with some strawberry extract thrown in for color Like the scrub this also has PVP so there is a strange filmy feeling on the skin after you rinse the mask off I can think of several other clay masks that I like better Beauty Without Cruelty Queen Helene Mint Julep Estee Lauder Almond Clay Pack Better Botanicals Refining Facial Mask At first I wondered if I just got the wrong products for my skin considering how hit or miss products can be this can easily happen However after reading over the ingredients of more of the products featured on Martha Stewart s site http www marthastewart com she sells them through her Martha by Mail online store I know that most of these products simply could not work for me Almost every moisturizer and mask have the pore clogging ingredients I mentioned above plus others If you are at all concerned about breakouts regardless of your skin type this is a difficult line to work with For more information on Mario Badescu products check out the website at http www mariobadescu com I d like to thank the Sage Skin Care site for their comprehensive guide to acne causing ingredients located at http zerozits com

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT April 17 1999 This week I am pleased to bring you my review of Oil of Olay s new line of cosmetics Enjoy Shine Control Foundation Oil of Olay s line has two foundations this one labelled for combination and oily skin and another one labelled for dry skin I couldn t decide which would be better for me since the ingredients on the tube are very similar so I took a chance with this one I wore this foundation every day for a week and I never really liked it The consistency is thin the coverage fairly sheer but the worst part in my opinion is the way my skin looked after just a few hours shiny Considering that my skin isn t even oily the fact that this so called shine control actually created shine is not a big plus in my book I would not buy this again One observation about Oil of Olay s foundation all the fashion magazines have been promoting the All Day Moisture version and it s that formula not the Shine Control formula that Oil of Olay is sending samples of in the mail Maybe they know that the Shine Control version is inferior Just a thought Concealer What Oil of Olay s foundations lack is definitely made up for with their concealer This is a great creamy stick that works just as well for undereye circles as it does for blemishes I like to apply it with my finger or a brush rather than straight from the stick for the best coverage and control I would buy this again Blush in Soft Rosewood Much like the new makeup from Neutrogena read my review in the March 28th Cosmetic Report Oil of Olay also decided to use some fairly dated packaging much to my dismay This small squarish bit of blush comes with a blush brush that is so small you could use it for eye shadow Do yourself a favor and get a real blush brush As for the blush itself the selection of colors leaves a bit to be desired quite a few bright unnatural shades that I doubt would complement very many skintones I think I picked the best of the bunch for my skin soft rosewood but even it is bright enough that I have to take care in applying just a little and blending it really well I would not buy this again Eye Shadow Duo in Autumn Spring Much like the blush selection the colors Oil of Olay offers for eye shadow need a little improvement The duo I chose is one of the few wearable color sets the autumn color is a medium plum brown while the spring shade is medium pink pearl with a hint of gold shimmer Too many of the other sets have bright blues and pinks that aren t as universally flattering as they could be The texture is nice though and stayed crease free for most of the day a definite plus If you can find shades that work for you these shadows are worth trying Beauty Mascara Along with the concealer this mascara is a real find The look is natural but full and well defined I had no problems with globs smearing or flaking and it washes off easily with regular facial cleanser Lipstick in Fresh Plum Okay so I liked half of the Oil of Olay products I tried This lipstick has a smooth creamy feel and comes in a good range of colors This shade is a medium pink plum that reminds me of the color you get on your lips when you eat fresh blackberries The colors available in the lipsticks are much better than the blush or eyeshadow A few of the other colors include spicy red brazil autumn leaves and cobblestone Oil of Olay cosmetics are now available at drug and mass retail stores around the US like Target Walmart Drug Emporium Long s etc The snazzy lighted display has a mirror testers yay and color suggestions for different skintones Our spring color series continues this week with a look at the new collection from Stila Called The Seashore Collection these soft peaches and pinks are in my opinion a welcome change from the bright pastels from many other spring collections Eye Shadows Shell warm peachy rose Shore lavender gray Sun deep golden peach These are are beautiful alone on just the lid or worn with a complementary crease or browbone shade For the softest look I recommend skipping eye liner or use a very soft brown if you feel you need it and adding just a light sweep of mascara Lip Colors Emily nude rose Marisa golden pink Pixie vibrant beige rose Stila is famous for very wearable lipstick shades and these fit right in The Seashore Collection also includes Lip Shine gloss in Petal Shine shimmery golden rose a great neutral with just a hint of pink and Nail Shimmer in Ilithyia shimmery soft pink also pretty and subtle All these colors are very soft and wearable and they integrate nicely with any neutrals

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT April 17 1998 Cosmetics are my life grin so I am always surfing around online looking for new and interesting cosmetics skin care and bath products I recently stumbled across a great little specialty bath company called Destiny s Darlin and I couldn t resist trying a few of their goodies The folks at Destiny s Darlin make all natural bath products like bath explosives shower gels and foot tabbies in unique and intriguing fragrances like Tahitian Vanilla Fancy Pants and TEAse Me I m Green green tea With scents like this and such reasonable prices where would I begin Shower Gel in heavenly 12 for 8 ounces As many of you know I am not a big perfume fan Most smell too flowery too powdery or too musky for my taste One of the few mainstream scents that I like is Angel by Thierry Mugler it smells like anything but flowers it doesn t even contain any Imagine my glee when I discovered heavenly and it smells exactly like Angel The fragrance of this shower gel is well heavenly I was a little disappointed at the cleansing lathering power though It lathered but then quickly disappeared so I had to keep adding more gel to my puff I love the scent but I have to give the gel itself 3 out of 5 stars Bath Salts in better than chocolate 3 75 per cup I love to take warms baths whenever I can and I always like some sort of bubbles salts or powder to make it interesting Plain warm water is so boring If you are chocolate lover you may get carried away with a bath full of these intoxicating better than chocolate bath salts They don t bubble or foam but they do make the water and your skin really soft and lightly perfumed if you consider smelling like a homemade brownie being perfumed Yum I liked these bath salts very much and readily give them 4 5 out of 5 stars Bath Explosive in rosemary mint 4 for regular flying saucer 6 for large shooting star I love fizzing bath tablets for the great fragrances and fun bubbles that make my ordinary tub feel like a mini jacuzzi My rosemary mint bath explosive gently fizzed for a few minutes releasing a soft subtle fragrance and luxurious oils into the water I felt completely relaxed and moisturized after just 10 minutes in the tub I give it 5 out of 5 stars I am always looking for skin care that works well and cares for my normal to dry sensitive and acne prone skin without irritation or excessive drying I ve been curious about just how effective and different some of the lines created for sensitive skin are so I decided to try the newest line from Avon Calming Effects for Sensitive Skin Sensitive Skin Cleanser 9 50 for 6 7 ounce tube For sensitive skin that is also a bit on the dry side this soap free lotion cleanser feels soothing removes makeup easily even eye makeup and leaves the skin lightly conditioned It does contain olive safflower and soybean oils which make makeup removal easy but beware if you are oily or very acne prone I give this cleanser 4 5 out of 5 stars Sensitive Skin Toner 9 50 for 6 7 ounces Many sensitive skins can t tolerate the burning and stinging from most toners Calming Effects Toner is a welcome change no irritating alcohol or witch hazel but instead soothing green tea chamomile sweet almond oil lavender and algae extract This is a great fragrance free toner for any skin type that I give 5 out of 5 stars Sensitive Skin Lotion 10 50 for 1 7 ounce pump For combination or slightly oily but sensitive skin or if you like a lighter moisturizer for summer use Calming Effects Lotion is a very lightweight fluid that helps soothe irritated skin with rosemary algae lavender and chamomile extracts For a nice lightweight moisturizer but unfortunately no sunscreen Calming Effects lotion earns 4 out of 5 stars Sensitive Skin Creme 10 50 for 1 7 ounce jar For dry skin or for heavier nighttime use again no sunscreen Calming Effects Creme has all the same soothing benefits as the lotion in a heavier creamier base This creme is a real treat for skin that s very dry and irritated I give it 4 of 5 stars For all those transfer resistant and long wearing makeup formulas we all seem to be wearing these days Estee Lauder has introduced Eye and Lip Makeup Remover for LongWear Formulas 14 50 for 3 4 ounces I ve been less than thrilled with some other brands removers like Clinique Take The Day Off painful stinging and Avon Perfect Wear really oily so I hoped EL s would be different Turns out it s a great makeup remover that doesn t sting or burn and it s not overly oily For my sensitive eyes this remover is a real winner earning a perfect 5 out of 5 stars The Makeup Diva is in If you ve ever considered buying one of those cellulite creams be sure to read this week s Ask The Makeup

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT April 10 1998 It seems like every new skin care product on the market these days is chock full of botanicals and anti oxidants While you can t really feed your face from the outside using topical vitamins and botanical extracts can help prevent premature aging from environmental and sun damage repair any damage that s already been done and make the skin look smoother and more even toned This week our focus is on skin care products with green tea extract an anti oxidant believed to increase the effectiveness of sunscreens and prevent skin irritation First on my list of green tea products to try was Sebastian SKIN Green Tea Daily Moisture Renewal with SPF 15 42 50 for 1 7 ounces at salons The most interesting feature of Moisture Renewal is the package it comes in rather than a regular jar that you scoop the product out of this jar has a pressure sensitive top that dispenses the lotion out of a small hole in the center of the lid Simply press the side of the lid for just the right amount of lotion For normal combination or slightly oily skin I give Moisture Renewal 4 out of 5 stars as a nice but spendy lightweight lotion that leaves a demi matte finish on the skin great for under makeup If you have dry skin I can only give it 3 out of 5 stars because you ll probably need another cream underneath to get the level of moisture that your skin needs For dry skin I d sooner recommend Estee Lauder DayWear cream or Basis Face The Day lotion For my night cream I chose Basis All Night Face Cream 7 99 for 2 ounces at drugstores with green tea extract AHAs lactic and citric acid aloe chamomile and vitamins A C and E This is a great find for any skin type the gentle AHAs are effective but shouldn t be a problem even for sensitive skin and the cream is lightweight so you can use as much as you need for your skin type All of these benefits together with a fresh citrusy fragrance and very affordable price earn All Night Face Cream 4 out of 5 stars As I get older I find that my beauty product needs have changed Whereas I used to swear by clay masks and oil removing cleansers my new best beauty friends are concealer and eye gel Both can make you look awake and refreshed regardless of how tired stressed out or busy you are My green tea quest and need for a good eye gel lead me to Beauty Without Cruelty Green Tea Nourishing Eye Gel 14 95 for 1 ounce at health and natural food stores This is a great little moisturizer full of every anti oxidant you can think of that works well around your eyes or on

com cosmetic springcontest html Garden Botanika has long been one of my favorite boutique skin care and makeup stores and it always seems like they are coming out with something new I recently tested their Skin Renewing skin care line with alpha hydroxy acids Here s what I thought of the products Gentle Foaming Cleanser 11 for 8 ounces Although the ingredients are different if you put this cleanser and Biore s non foaming gel cleanser in identical unmarked containers I doubt you could tell them apart The gel consistency and low lather qualities are extremely similar I like this cleanser but I think it could do without about 75 of its ingredients the main cleansers TEA lauryl sulfate and PEG 7 glyceryl cocoate do a fine job of cleansing the skin and even removing makeup but all the cleanser s plant extracts don t have time to do very much before you rinse them all away I recommend you look at this as just a nice basic cleanser Clarifying Toning Lotion 10 50 for 8 ounces My skin has a tendency toward clogged pores blackheads and pimples even though it s not particularly oily This toner and others like it that contain AHAs BHAs and or fruit acids of some kind always help keep my pores clear and minimize the number of blackheads I get on my nose and forehead This one has a mixture of different fruit acids is alcohol free always nice and leaves the skin feeling fresh not stripped AHA Treatment 25 for 3 4 ounces After using this lightweight lotion for about a month I d say the difference in my skin is very subtle Much like the fruit acid toner this fruit acid lotion helps keep pores clear but the keyword here is helps Unlike many other AHAs I ve tried this one does not contain glycolic or lactic acid per se two of the more well known and effective AHAs available GB uses bilberry sugar cane sugar maple orange and lemon extracts instead As a result I found the effects for my skin to be more minimal If you have very sensitive skin or are just weary of trying an AHA this one might be more your speed You can also add one of the moisturizers listed below to get more AHA benefits Balancing Creme 15 for 2 ounces Even though the label says for normal to oily skin I like this cream for all skin types It s lightweight oil free but still nicely emollient and gives the AHA Treatment above the extra boost it needs to make more of a difference for your skin Balancing Creme also contains SPF 8 sunscreen in the form of 2 ethylhexyl p methoxycinnamate and oxybenzone both UVB blockers Moisture Replenisher 15 for 2 ounces This cream is almost identical to the Balancing Creme above with the addition of sunflower oil squalene and a few other water binding ingredients to make it more moisturizing For dry skin this is a nice choice that is still lightweight and comfortable For more information on these and other Garden Botanika products check out their website at http www gardenbotanika com It even has online shopping Spring has sprung and that means it

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT April 3 1998 Over the past several months I ve been testing a wide variety of AHA alpha hydroxy acid BHA beta hydroxy acid also known as salicylic acid and vitamin A C and E creams to see if they are really better than regular moisturizers For the most part they are and the difference many of them can make in your skin is just short of amazing Just about every brand whether from a department store counter specialty boutique or drugstore has an AHA product that can improve the look and feel of your skin Each formula and texture is different so it can be a real undertaking trying to find the right one for your skin Personally for my normal to dry sensitive and also acne prone skin I prefer a lightweight product that is reasonably priced and works gently but effectively My search for something to fit those criteria lead me to Estee Lauder s Fruition Extra 42 50 for one ounce 70 for 1 7 ounces Fruition has been around for years and has quite a following I get several requests every week for a review of it so I decided to give it a shot I used my one ounce bottle twice daily for six weeks which just happened to be when the bottle ran out and I liked the results Fruition gave my skin the extra moisture it needed without being heavy or greasy Unfortunately Fruition s exfoliating power may be gentle but it isn t all that extraordinary especially for the price The results that I usually notice in my skin from AHAs like a smoother texture and improved clarity I did not see with Fruition As a moisturizer it works well and earns 4 out of 5 stars but as an AHA I can only give it 1 star For a real difference you can see I like Alpha Hydrox BeneFit Seven BeautiControl Regeneration Gold and Philosophy The Damage is Done much better Over the course of the last several weeks I ve brought you reviews of various lipstains from Stila The Body Shop and Philosophy This week I discovered the mother of all lipstains Lip Ink 45 for a two color kit Not only does the color last and last but it doesn t leave your lips dry or cracked The Lip Ink starter kit includes a shine conditioner that you can apply before your color then again after for smooth chap free lips all day You also get your choice of two Lip Ink colors and a bottle of Lip Ink Off the only product that will remove Lip Ink all in a handy carrying case I followed the application directions to a tee and the color really does last through meals drinks kissing you name it I still like the feel of regular lipstick but for those times when I d rather not think about retouching my color every few hours Lip Ink is a great alternative that I readily give 5 out of 5 stars For more information about Lip Ink or to order online visit the Lip Ink website For those of you with oily skin finding products that control oil without drying or stripping your skin can be a real challenge After recently stocking up on a few favorites from Lorac created by makeup artist Carol Shaw I decided to try her Oil Free Face Wash 20 for 8 ounces and Alcohol Free spray Toner 18 for 4 ounces The cleanser is a good non drying choice that really works best for oily skin left my normal to dry sensitive skin a little dry Just a small pearl sized amount lightly foams to remove makeup and leave the skin feeling clean and fresh For oily skin this cleanser gets 4 out of 5 stars Although Lorac s skin care is supposed to be best for sensitive as well as acne prone skin the spray toner is far from it the intense odor and tingly feeling from the concentrated menthol crystals just about knocked me over Some herbs and essential oils can be fine for sensitive skin but this level of menthol doesn t benefit anything This is the first product since we started our new rating system to earn no stars Ready to break out of those winter blahs and get your skin really glowing Before you consider cooking yourself in a tanning bed bad for your skin check out April s new

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT March 28 1999 If you haven t been to your local drugstore lately you may be missing out on their newest arrival Neutrogena Cosmetics With the tagline Beautiful Beneficial Neutrogena is out to sell you skin care benefits in makeup but don t believe it While it s great that the products are fragrance free and hopefully won t make you break out the small amount of skin care ingredients like pro retinol and vitamin E certainly can t replace your regular skin care products This is just a nice cosmetic line that I think is worth a look Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup 9 99 I chose classic porcelain from the array of 16 shades see descriptions below This foundation is oil free as in no mineral oil has SPF 20 sun protection unfortunately not broad spectrum though and trace amounts of pro retinol a vitamin A derivative vitamin E and melibiose a sugar derivative I really like this foundation The medium coverage has a subtle matte finish that enhances your skin rather than making it look made up What I really like is the way you can build the coverage on areas that need more attention like blemishes or red spots and the foundation doesn t get cakey or look too dark Healthy Skin Cream Powder Makeup 9 99 Like the liquid foundation this one comes in the same 16 shades I chose classic porcelain again is also oil free has SPF 20 sun protection unfortunately also not broad spectrum and trace amounts of pro retinol vitamin E and melibiose The texture is like most cream to powder formulas creamy but slightly dry with sheer to medium coverage that can be built up a little by layering I m impressed with how well this makeup wears throughout the day by evening my skin still looked fresh not shiny and the makeup didn t settle into fine lines or look cakey This is a nice product if you have normal normal to oily or combination skin Here are the foundation shades as described in Neutrogena s informational pamphlet For Fair skin Fresh Vanilla for skin with golden undertones gives a warm natural glow to the very fairest skin Classic Porcelain for skin with neutral undertones a soft classic look for very fair china white complexions Blushing Ivory for skin with rosy undertones rose tinted shade for very fair skin that blushes easily For Light skin Softest Gold for skin with golden undertones gives soft warm radiance to light skin Natural Buff for skin with neutral undertones neutral beige for peaches cream complexion Rose Cream for skin with rosy undertones flattering shade for light skin with naturally rosy cheeks For Medium skin Golden Bisque for skin with golden undertones warm beige gives a golden glow to medium complexions True Beige for skin with neutral undertones soft neutral tone for medium complexions Copper Sand for skin with rosy undertones flatters medium complexions which blush easily Toasted Honey for skin with golden or olive undertones this dusky shade compliments olive complexions For Tawny skin Warm Caramel for skin with golden olive or black undertones enhances deeper or bronzed olive complexions Spiced Almond for skin with golden olive red or black undertones a warm cafe au lait suited to medium deep complexions Real Pecan for skin with golden red or black undertones a rich golden taffy color For Deep skin Rich Sable for skin with golden red or black undertones a deep russet brown Bronzed Cocoa for skin with golden red black or blue undertones for a real milk chocolate shade Soft Mahogany for skin with golden red black or blue undertones deepest warm complexions Fresh Finish Loose Powder 9 99 If you are looking for a good quality loose powder in natural shades this is it I ve been spending way too much for department store powder but not anymore I really like this one It has a light feel and just the right balance of oil control and soft finish Fresh Finish Pressed Powder 9 99 As pressed powders go this one is fine It s basically the same as the loose only in pressed form Soft Color Blush 8 49 While I like the selection of natural looking colors I chose a medium plum pink sweet raisin I was surprised that a cosmetic line this new has such dated packaging for their blush The tiny blush brush is really a joke unless you like racing stripes on your cheeks and the rectangular strip of blush is a bit narrow to get to with a proper blush brush If you can get past that I did this is a nice blush with some pretty colors and a soft natural looking texture Full Length Defining Mascara 5 99 I really like this mascara It reminds me a bit of Bobbi Brown s defining mascara with its thin short bristled brush and subtle lash defining formula In my weeks of testing it didn t clump smear or glob once This mascara comes in three colors black soft black and brown black Lip Plush Lip Color 7 99 Again another nice selection of natural looking shades to complement a variety of skin tones and tastes I chose rose suede a basic neutral brown pink The lipstick texture is very creamy and smooth which feels great on but also has a tendency to wander into any fine lines around the lips Be sure to use a lip liner to keep the color in place Neutrogena also has Under Cover concealer stick in 4 skintone shades and 2 color correcting shades yellow and green which I plan on trying soon Although these are drugstore products and individually are not what I would consider expensive when you buy all of them at once like I did it gets a little spendy my total bill was 62 43 These new cosmetics from Neutrogena are definitely worth checking out though You loved it the first time so we re bringing her back for more What else could it be but Pam Tested Pam Approved Part 2 the final word in the current it products from our

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT March 27 1998 As opinionated as I am about skin care and makeup products I usually don t venture into fragrance advice What smells like a meadow full of daisies to my friends often smells like stinky potpourri to me Those of you who have emailed me asking my opinion of your favorite perfume get the same answer I don t review perfume until now It took something as universal and completely nostalgic as smell THIS a line of roll on real scents for real people 10 each to get my attention Smell THIS redefines fragrance with a collection of real life scents that you can wear anywhere I personally test drove and loved cut grass a dead ringer for freshly mowed grass clean wet laundry very fresh beach smells think suntan lotion minus the coconut salon shampoo green apple all the way soda pop fizz amazing likeness to ginger ale grapefruit need I say more cake batter tasty vanilla you can wear campfire smoke like a bonfire on the beach Why wear ordinary perfume again Smell THIS easily earns my affection and an unprecedented 5 out of stars Learn more or order online at smell THIS In the endless pursuit to make my skin look its best I decided to try Almay Time Off Revitalizer Daily Solution Pads 18 for 112 pads Different from a lotion or serum these pads which are soaked in a combination of gluconamide a sugar derived exfoliant and salicylic acid aka BHA or beta hydroxy acid work invisibly without interfering with your favorite moisturizer The gentle exfoliating solution combined with soothing aloe really made my skin look brighter and fresher in just a few days After a full two weeks of twice daily use my complexion is starting to look clearer and more even toned This is an easy and effective treatment for any skin type that I give 4 out of 5 stars Since perming my hair recently I am now preoccupied that my curls will go flat or get frizzy Most of the volumizing products I ve tried just leave my hair dried out and frazzled so it was time to find something better My quest brought me to the new Botanical High products from vegan no animal testing or animal ingredients hair care line Abba For extra volume without stripping the hair Volumizing Shampoo and Thickening Conditioner are a great pair I was surprised at how well the lightweight gel conditioner worked on my chemically processed hair making it look naturally full and soft I wasn t as pleased with the Weightless Styling Gel it defines and holds well but can make the hair feel stiff and rather crunchy I would choose a different styling product then finish with the Finishing Spray for light hold Here s how they rate Volumizing Shampoo 4 out of 5 stars Thickening Conditioner 4 out of 5 stars Weightless Styling Gel 2 5 out of 5 stars Finishing Spray 4 out of 5 stars For more information about these and other Abba hair care products visit Abba online The Makeup Diva is In Considering all the products I ve reviewed it s hard to

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT March 22 1999 This week I am pleased to bring you a full review of Dermaculture skin care Enjoy I originally learned about Dermaculture skin care from our Panelist Kiki She uses the facial shampoo and granular scrub and likes them so I thought I d give the line a try Created back in 1937 Dermaculture s main selling point is its history and its celebrity following they figure since the line has been around for so long and is supposedly used by people like Madonna Jodi Foster and Bette Midler it must be good Selling points aside I found these products to be completely average and over priced for what you get This is not to say that the line is all bad because it s not I did enjoy using a couple of the products but they are very similar to other less expensive products I ve tried so I have a hard time recommending them Liquid Cleansing Milk 32 95 for 8 ounces This is a basic mineral oil based cleanser that does a great job of removing makeup but can leave an oily feeling on your skin Even though I tend to like lotion or milky cleansers this one was too oily for me If you have really dry skin you might like it but I can think of a few other cleansers that are much better for dry skin Remede Milky Wash Beauty Without Cruelty Herbal Cream Facial Cleanser RoC 2 en 1 Demaquillant Cleanser Toner In One and Benefit All Types Wash to name a few Facial Shampoo 19 95 for 5 8 ounces I can t believe how much they are charging for a really ordinary foaming cleanser This product is made of water sodium lauryl sulfate a very commonly used detergent cleansing agent found in the majority of mass market facial cleansers preservatives colors and fragrance and what a perfume y fragrance it is It cleaned my face just fine and removed makeup just don t get it near your eyes but it is drying leaving my skin feeling tight and fairly uncomfortable Astringent 14 95 for 8 ounces There are toners at the drugstore and supermarket that will work just as well as this alcohol based one for a lot less money Don t get me wrong I m really not that hung up on price except when these cosmetic companies expect us to pay so much for something so ordinary With two types of alcohol salicylic acid and an antiseptic ingredient this toner is way too strong for my taste Granular Scrub 22 95 for 4 ounce tube I m not sure which ingredient s in this scrub was the culprit but something in here smelled just awful to me Otherwise this is a decent scrub made of water honey almond meal white corn meal barley flour and talc surprisingly free of the chemical ingredients in most of Dermaculture s other products This is yet another of Dermaculture s products that just didn t wow me If you are looking for a good scrub I can think of several Youngblood Papaya Enzyme Scrub Epicuren Discovery Facial Scrub Kiss My Face Organic Jojoba Mint Facial Scrub Remede Sweep that in my opinion do a better job Active Exfoliator Lactic Acid Cream 29 95 for 4 ounces As AHAs go this one is like many others I ve tried Alpha Hydrox Aqua Glycolic BeneFit Avon If you are looking for a basic AHA cream for pretty much any skin type sensitive types should take care with any AHA this one is an okay choice Collagen Moisturizer 22 95 for 2 ounces Of all the Dermaculture products I tried I liked this cream the best It s lightweight oil free absorbs quickly and works well for normal combination or slightly dry skin If you use it during the day however you ll need to layer a sunscreen over the top Enriched Moisturizer 23 95 for 2 ounces For seriously dry skin this cream is very rich with mineral oil beeswax and trace amounts of vitamin E and A For really dry skin it may be fine but it was just too oily for me All in all I was not impressed by Dermaculture and didn t find their products to be special or unique For more information on this line you can call the company in California at 949 673 5151 Dermaculture is currently redesigning their website www dermaculture com The products are available in select locations in California Georgia Louisiana Oklahoma and Texas You loved it the first time so we re bringing her back

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT March 20 1998 Spring has definitely arrived here in Portland Oregon The warm sunshine and blue skies always make me want to break out my shorts sandals and of course some pretty pastel makeup This week Philosophy made it easier for me with their new Superlights pastel version of the Pocket Book 45 makeup kit This ingenious little collection includes compassion pale pink blush prosperity neutral gray brown eye shadow four mini lipsticks in initiation sheer MAC Twig like pink brown devotion sheer light peach with a hint of gold imagination sheer pale pink with a hint of gold and compassion spf 15 glossy medium pink with a touch of brown and a set of travel makeup brushes blush blending shadow lip and liner all rolled up in a black leather wallet I also have the original Pocket Book now called Superneutrals and both are indispensable for travel or just to carry your favorites in your purse The new Superlights easily earns a perfect 5 out of 5 stars To compliment my pastel makeup mood I decided to try Maybelline s new Express Finish polish in Watercolors sheer shades of blue violet berry and lemon for nails While the berry water color I chose looked great for my at home pedicure on my rather long and naturally white tipped fingernails it looked messy and accidental The sheer effect is pretty on short nails and I found the color lasted a day longer than most regular nail polish without touchups I d give Watercolors 4 out of 5 stars Since seeing the ads several weeks ago in all the fashion magazines I have been hunting down L Oreal s new Rouge Pulp liquid lipcolor It finally arrived at a local drugstore for 5 99 and I snapped up a few of the most tempting shades to see just how incredible it really is Was I ever disappointed Rouge Pulp is just a basic non sticky lipgloss reminds me of Origins Slipcovers It does come in some interesting shades including revealing clear shiver pale yellow goddess pale pink crush passionate red daring deep plum wink pale lilac forbidden medium taupe brown exposed craving tempting delicious and seduce medium gold Rouge Pulp is okay but not revolutionary earning just 3 of out 5 stars Just when I thought my lipstick quest would end in defeat this week I stumbled across a brand new compact from M Professional that you won t want to miss If you are like me you like to carry a variety of lipsticks with you both for touchups and in case you feel the need to wear a different shade On the days I carry a small purse having four or five lipstick tubes is a little unrealistic M Professional s new Lipstick Six Pack Compact around 8 at drugstores is the perfect solution six shades are conveniently packed in a thin refillable palette compact with a mirror and lipbrush Not only can you mix and match the colors to create your own shades you can easily take the compact with you and refill it with other favorite shades when these run out An empty palette from Japonesque Makeup Forever or Bobbi Brown Essentials can cost as much as 22 50 The Lipstick Six Pack comes in two palettes one light 851 and one dark 852 I readily give this compact 5 out of 5 stars

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT March 13 1998 Part of the fun of cosmetics for me is the shopping tracking down new products discovering great new colors and comparing the same product in different brands This week after discovering Stila s new Lip Rouge lipstain a few weeks ago I was wandering through my local Body Shop store and found their version Lipstain in a great selection of colors like amethyst topaz ruby rose for only 7 50 Compared to Stila s mere two colors and whopping 26 price tag I was excited and intrigued How would the Body Shop Lipstain measure up I found the Body Shop s pointy marker tip easier to use than Stila s and it didn t run dry at all even after applying several coats These new lipstains aren t for people with very dry or flaky lips but for the rest of us I really recommend the Body Shop s version The colors are rich and pretty by themselves my choice amethyst and they make a fun base coat to change the look of your other lipsticks or glosses Compared to the Body Shop s Lipstain which truly deserves 5 out of 5 stars I have to downgrade my rating of Stila Lip Rouge a bit to 4 5 stars Several months ago I reviewed a few skin care products from the vegan cosmetic line Beauty Without Cruelty Their Herbal Cream Facial Cleanser is one of my all time favorites and I like that they use absolutely no animal testing or animal based ingredients I recently tried their Oil Free Facial Moisturizer for over active skin and All Day Moisturizer for normal to dry skin with terrific results For oily skin moisturizers are a bit tricky Of the ones I ve tried those that look and feel the best are lightweight absorb quickly and leave a soft matte finish that helps control shine throughout the day BWC s Oil Free does all this and it soothes and protects with lemon balm lavender witch hazel aloe vera gel and vitamins A C and E If you are normal to oily slightly oily all over or oily in your T zone this is a great daytime moisturizer that earns 4 out of 5 stars the lack of sun protection makes it slightly less than perfect For drier skin getting enough moisture without feeling like an oil slick is a common problem especially in the summer or if you live in a warm climate BWC has succeeded in making an emollient cream with a lightweight feel with All Day Moisturizer All Day is chock full of dry skin smoothers like sweet almond oil shea butter macadamia nut oil locust bean gum panthenol sodium pca and allantoin as well as soothing camomile calendula st johns wort aloe vera gel green tea and anti oxidant vitamins A C and E All Day has become my new favorite cream for keeping my skin supple and hydrated but it should have been named All Night without sun protection it earns just 4 out of 5 stars For information about Beauty Without Cruelty check your local health or natural food store or call BWC at 707 769 5120 What spring collection report could be complete with a look at the new products and colors from Bobbi Brown Essentials The spring collection includes some great but slightly overpriced new products Here s the rundown SPF 15 Tinted Moisturizer 35 in sand natural and golden If you aren t a foundation wearer or if you like something very sheer Bobbi s new tinted moisturizer is a nice but I think fairly overpriced choice Granted you do get natural looking warm color each shade has a slight touch of red added for warmth with SPF 15 sun protection in a lightweight base that provides enough moisture alone for normal combination or normal to oily skin If you have dry skin you will need to use your regular moisturizer first The color selection is small however and I don t think you have to spend 35 for a nice tinted moisturizer so I give this one 3 5 out of 5 stars Cream Blush Stick 25 in sand pink tawny warm peach and soft plum For natural fresh looking blush Bobbi s new cream stick is a great addition to her collection The stick is portable easy to apply and comes in pretty wearable colors Simply dab it on from the stick or onto your finger applying to the apples of your cheeks then blend out toward your hairline Since you use very little the large lipstick style stick packaged just like Bobbi s foundation stick should last a very long time For wearability and a pretty selection of colors I give it 4 out of 5 stars Bobbi has also added some new shades to her existing products The new Foundation Stick 35 shade in Porcelain is wonderfully neutral not too pink and not too yellow perfect for those of us with very light complexions For normal to dry or dry skin this foundation stick is fantastic one of my makeup bag basics and deserving of a perfect 5 stars Among the other new shades are Lip Shimmer 17 50 in champagne my personal choice for a nice soft beige pink malt raspberry plum and garnet Nail Wash 12 50 sheers and shimmers in beige champagne and brown and Eye Shadows 17 in mocha soft brown with a touch of pink and cedar medium terracotta brown

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT March 12 1999 It seems like everyone tuned in to see the Monica Lewinsky interview with Barbara Walters on 20 20 and we all wanted to know what lipstick Monica was wearing and where can we get it It was such a pretty shade And what about the rest of her makeup My sources tell me that her makeup was done by Denise Markey of Club Monaco Cosmetics here are the colors and products all from Club Monaco Face Oil Free Foundation Concealer Loose Powder and Enhancer Powder Cheeks Hint Hint Cheek Color with Twilight Cheek Color and Topaz Eye Color blended together for contour Lips Bare Lip Liner around and over the entire lip Glaze sheer Lip Color with Cherub Lip Gloss blended through Eyes Bronze Eye Color over the entire eye Topaz Eye Color in the crease for definition and contour and a little of the Topaz Eye Color under the eye Black Mascara water resistant used on top and bottom lashes For a list of Club Monaco locations click on stores at their website http www clubmonaco com Navigation html The line is also sold at Sephora cosmetic stores Many thanks to Dana Cognetta of Staten Island New York for the lipstick tip and to Coralea from the Club Monaco Cosmetics Counter at Eaton s Polo Park telephone 416 788 2011 in Canada for the rundown on Monica s complete look Spring is almost here and I don t know about you but my skin is ready for an overhaul After months of miserable rainy Oregon weather my face looks about as fresh and smooth as a burlap bag I ve got a whole bathroom full of masks and scrubs some good some I should just throw away but I wanted something new that is effective but also really gentle To the rescue Better Botanicals Refining Facial Mask 17 50 for 2 ounce tube I love this mask Although it says for combination oily skin I found it to be surprisingly gentle on my normal to dry but acne prone skin The clay isn t overly drying and there are plant oils like neem healing lavender soothing and cucumber refreshing that leave the skin feeling fresh and comfortable The first time I was able to take a bubble bath alone after having my baby I used this mask and felt like a new woman afterwards My blemishes looked less red and my skin had a rested glow that definitely did not come from sleep For regular maintenance of my newly smoothed complexion I decided to also try Better Botanical s Clarifying Facial Scrub 15 for 2 ounce tube It has sandalwood rose and aloe to soothe along with almond meal pineapple clay and honey to exfoliate If you like a really gentle scrub or use a scrub every day this is a nice choice because it s not overly scrubby it s less grainy than most scrubs I ve tried For those times when you want a fresh face feeling without over stimulating your skin this scrub from Better Botanicals is worth trying For more information on these and other products from Better Botanicals visit their website at http www betterbotanicals com or their shop in Georgetown Washington D C call 1 888 BBHerbs for details I ve always thought Garden Botanika is one of the better but lesser known boutique lines around They have some incredible skin care and bath goodies for really reasonable prices and now you can even order online http www gardenbotanika com With so many products to try I am beginning to steadily work my way through starting this week with their Prefix Kit 25 This collection of products are designed to improve your appearance before you apply your regular makeup Here s what you get Lash Primer This white paste y substance goes on before your mascara and would you believe it really helps It basically coats the lashes so your mascara has more to grab onto The before and after difference in thickness and length can be quite dramatic Lip Primer If you like BeneFit Lip Plump you ll like GB s version It s a light flesh colored concealer type product that creates an even surface for applying your lipstick You apply a small dab blend over your lips let it dry then apply lipstick This kind of product has never wow ed me Shadow Primer If you find your eyeshadow creeping into the crease of your lid or disappearing altogether by lunchtime you must try this shadow base Not only does it create a smooth even toned surface it also helps keep your shadow in place so it lasts longer without creasing or fading Lip Pumice I m having a hard time figuring out just how this stick works It s supposed to slough off dead skin from your lips but when I apply it all I get is a mess it s crumbly doesn t glide on easily and looks paste y I can t tell if I m supposed to leave it on wipe it off or what Yuk Clear Brow Gel For those of us with unruly brows clear brow gel is a beauty lifesaver Most work like hairspray to hold the hairs in place but this one didn t quite do the trick as well as other brands I ve tried Origins Trucco it just doesn t hold very well Corrector Sticks in Yellow and Green Using color correcting concealers is a personal choice kind of product either you love it or you don t While I know the techniques for using them I never bother because it takes too much work and just never seems to create the effect I want The yellow stick is designed to conceal dark undereyes circles yellow cancels out blue the color of most undereye circles but you ve got to put a regular skintone concealer over it to hide the stark yellow Why not save a step and use a good yellow based skintone concealer like Stila Bobbi Brown by itself The same goes for the green stick it cancels out redness from blemishes broken capillaries etc but you still need a regular concealer on top In its defense though if you have excessive redness that regular makeup just won t cover a green concealer like this is often the only way to get a truly flawless looking complexion I think you have to experiment with these types of concealers to see if they really do anything for you For more information about Garden Botanika check out the

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT March 10 2000 If you ve been keeping up with any of the women s magazine lately the in looks for spring are sheer colors brightening products for the face and warm citrusy makeup shades This week I ve got a few reviews that fall into that category and next week I will have more with my review of the new Calvin Klein makeup line Estee Lauder Spotlight Skin Tone Perfector 30 There are several lines with lotions like this that have light reflective properties Prescriptives Magic BeneFit High Beam and most other shimmer lotions have a similar concept but Spotlight is touted also as a treatment that will improve your skin s appearance over time I found myself using Spotlight on the weekends when I didn t feel like putting on foundation but wanted something on I think I would be happier with some strategically placed concealer instead Spotlight leaves a strange sheer red purple cast on my skin that really shows up in sunlight It actually made some of the red areas of my face stand out MORE If I am better off going bare faced I know this product is not for me MAC Hyper Real Foundation 24 When I heard about this foundation and that it had shimmery light reflective particles like the popular shimmer lotions I knew I had to try it I couldn t wait for my local Nordstrom to get it they still haven t so I called the MAC toll free number and ordered it Hyper Real comes in 8 shades numbered 100 200 300 up to 800 that are supposed to be adjustable to suit a wide range of skin colors After speaking to the MAC rep on the phone and telling her that I normally wear their NC15 Studio Makeup she recommended the lightest Hyper Real shade 100 After wearing Hyper Real every day for about a week I am really happy with it I have had no breakouts and no irritation and it even looks great on days when my skin is dry It has a nice dewy finish and soft shimmer that subtly conceals redness and evens out your skintone For me the coverage is sheer but the pigments and light reflectors cover as well as some medium coverage foundations I ve tried I do like to use a separate concealer for dark under eye circles though because Hyper Real is just a little too sheer to completely cover those All in all I am a fan and would definitely buy this again For information on MAC products locations or ordering by phone call 1 800 387 6707 MAC has had a website under construction for months at maccosmetics com but there is really nothing there The only other site I know of that sells MAC is thecanadashop com but they are more expensive for US shoppers Hyper Real on their site is 30 60 Cover Girl CG Smoothers Cheek Glaze in Sheer Berry I hate to admit it but even I can be a sucker for those product recommendations in women s magazines In a recent article about pinks and reds for different skintones the writer mentioned this Cover Girl gel blush as a great red for fair skin Since Cover Girl is so reasonably priced I figured what the heck I ll give it a shot This stuff is great I ve never been a fan of gel blush dries too fast but this one is different Cheek Glaze is a gel stick that looks like an oversized lipstick You simply dot or draw the color on your skin It s very sheer so you can get just a wash of color with a light application or layer it on for more pop Cheek Glaze also comes in a peach shade for warm skintones Physician s Formula Beauty Spiral Brightening Foundation 7 99 I can never leave a drugstore with just one thing so after picking up the CG Smoothers Cheek Glaze I continued poking around and spotted this foundation The idea is that it has two different colors that when combined are supposed to have brightening properties Blending two different colors is a bit gimmicky and I didn t find this makeup to be particularly brightening but it is a nice medium to full coverage cream makeup that works well for normal or combination skin types It is also safe for acne sufferers like myself For my skin however it s not the best fit On the areas of my face that tend to be dry it accentuates flakiness and can be difficult to blend out so it ends up looking rather pasty and uneven I still haven t decided if I m going to keep it or take it back You can find Beauty Spiral online at PlanetRx com Physician s Formula Eyebrightener Mascara This mascara is even more gimmicky than the foundation It supposedly swirls together regular black mascara with silver to make your eyes look brighter but it just looks like plain black when you put it on It s an okay mascara nothing special and I don t think I would buy it again It s average for defining and thickening and really does nothing in terms of lengthening SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT March 6 1998 One of my favorite cosmetic pastimes is browsing my local drugstores for new products great deals and cool colors This week I went on a mini shopping spree spending a bit more than my usual 10 Challenge starting with Maybelline s new True Illusion oil free foundation with SPF 10 around 5 I m not really sure why Maybelline needed another foundation but True Illusion is a nice addition to their collection It s a bit like Prescriptives Virtual Skin only less dewy the micro mesh formula delivers sheer to medium coverage with a completely natural look on the skin whether you apply and blend with your fingers as the directions advise or with a sponge The color selection is decent and the formula should work well on most skin types For a nice natural looking makeup I give True Illusion 4 out of 5 stars Next into my shopping basket was L Oreal s new Le Grand Curl Lift and Curl mascara around 6 the first mascara that claims to actually curl your lashes on its own no lash curler torture device necessary The flexible protein complex is somehow supposed to curl the lashes and keep them curled all day but I just didn t see it I like the mascara itself very much it doesn t clump it s not overly wet and the brush does a nice job of coloring and defining the lashes without spiky globs As a basic mascara it s a good choice but not worth tossing your eyelash curler My final and favorite purchase was Maybelline s new Lip Polish hi shine color around 4 The tube package and wand applicator might make you think it s a traditional gloss but Lip Polish is actually more creamy like lipstick not tacky or gummy Choose from 10 great colors including mauve star plum shine berry spacey bronze goddess and cocoa brown I love the creamy feel and rich color so this gets a perfect 5 out of 5 stars The spring makeup colors are still rolling in and this week I got an up close peek at MAC s newest Shades of Venus spring collection This season MAC s six new looks focus on interesting color combinations bright and pretty shades of green pink and yellow and lots of blending Some of the colors seem unusually bright in the container but they are unique and worth trying on at the counter at least for fun Here s a rundown of the new colors All of these colors are sheer so they work well with one layer on light skin or they can be built up for medium or darker skin tones Lipsticks Savory burnt pumpkin orange Rizzo bubble gum pink Relic gray beige with a reddish pink undertone Force silvery gray blue glaze Mist golden yellow Eye Shadows Dream powder gray blue Putty mint with a touch of gray Atlas moss green with a hint of gold Frill buttercup yellow Stencil bright coral orange Plume bright coral pink The one blush color used in all the looks is Cheek a pinky peach that can be soft or vibrant depending on your application Cheek is packaged as a large shadow that can also be used as blush Nail Polish Dream gray blue Twill gray green Relic gray beige with a reddish pink undertone same as lipstick Mist iridescent white with hint of yellow My favorite of the new looks combines Frill Cheek Plume and lots of mascara on the eyes with Rizzo lipstick for a fresh pretty pink theme that s beautiful on any skin tone What do the latest crop of vitamin packed creams mean for your skin Find out in our new Feature for March Vitamin Therapy Spring is a perfect time to give your skin a boost The Makeup Diva is In Considering all the products I ve reviewed it s hard to remember which ones were good bad or just plain ordinary This

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT March 3 2000 This week I am pleased to finally bring you an updated review of Lorac Cosmetics I had tried the line at least a year ago when I was writing for America Online but never had a chance to post my review on Cosmetic Connection When Michael Pierce National Makeup Artist for Lorac contacted me I was excited at the chance to have another look First a little background Lorac Cosmetics creator Carol Shaw created these products with sensitive acne prone skin like hers in mind The colors are designed to accentuate a woman s natural beauty without being heavy or looking made up The foundations and concealer were formulated to cover without hiding the skin I think there are some great colors in this line and I hope to see some unique products from Lorac in the future Now on to the reviews I have made the name of each product a link to where you can find it online so you can check colors more easily Oil Free Makeup 30 in S1 This is the one Lorac product that gets more press and has a bigger following than any other InStyle magazine has named it as their number one oil free foundation so many times it s in their Hall of Fame It has very nice natural looking coverage that is incredibly light and imperceptible The thing that does perplex me is the ingredient list considering that Carol is very aware of the concerns of acne prone women I can t understand why this makeup contains the acne causing ingredient isopropyl isostearate a fatty acid Without it I would feel confident recommending it for any skin type but at this point I can t If acne is not an issue for you this is a terrific lightweight makeup that comes in 10 yellow based shades It is not overly matte or oil controlling so you don t have to have oily skin to wear it Satin Makeup 35 in M1 For normal to dry skin I like this makeup better than the Oil Free It is safe for acne prone skin comes in 8 great colors and has a light dewy finish It is definitely more emollient thanks to sunflower oil so a setting powder is a must to keep the makeup from settling into fine lines Cover Up 14 in C1 This is yet another concealer that I ve had to add to my under eye only pile The second ingredient is isopropyl palmitate a fatty acid that can cause breakouts At least half of the time I use concealer for a blemish so there is no way I would cover it with something that might make it worse For the eye area Cover Up is creamy so it blends well but it has a tendency to crease and doesn t have quite enough coverage for darker than average dark circles I would sooner choose Shu Uemura Mark Cealer Bobbi Brown Professional Concealer or T LeClerc Concealer instead Face Powder 22 50 in P1 While I was happy with the color of this powder comes in 5 yellow based shades it didn t do the best job of controlling shine and I don t even have oily skin By mid day my forehead needed some blotting which doesn t happen when I use Sonia Kashuk or T LeClerc I think I ll stick with my favorite Sonia Kashuk powder at almost one third the price Blush 14 I ve been using Lorac blush in Plum for quite a while and have always liked its sheerness and natural finish I also tried Desire Rose and Tan but I still like Plum the best Desire looks like a very bright pink in the container but goes on sheer with a bit of shimmer If you use a light touch it looks soft and pretty for spring especially on cool skintones Rose is a very sheer pale shell pink almost too subtle even for my pale skin Tan is a light tan duh that would work best as blush for light warm toned skin or as contour if you like to use one for definition I ve been happy with Lorac blush and I think at 14 you get a great product at a good price Eye Shadow 16 Lorac s shadows also have nice texture go on smoothly and are easy to blend I tried Cappuccino soft light brown Blue Ice sheer pale blue Innocence cool shimmery pink lilac Lilac cool shimmery lilac with a hint of gold Moonstone pink peach pearl Joy sheer pink gold Gold warm copper penny orange Pewter cool purple silver and Olive medium green with gold and liked Cappuccino Moonstone Innocence and Lilac the best to complement my blue eyes Mascara 17 in Black Brown Auburn looks more like plum I was not too happy with the mascara I had problems with clumping and flaking and I even tried wiping the wand down to reduce the amount of color It made my lashes look a bit fuller but they were also spiky and stuck together I don t recommend this Lipstick 17 50 Aside from the Oil Free Makeup Lorac is also very well known for their lipsticks mostly named after celebrities I like the creamy texture semi matte finish and long wear that requires minimal retouching I tried Laura medium neutral caramel Jennifer cool shimmery rose red Claire very pale cool salmon pink Catherine vibrant cool magenta pink Pleasure sheer cool lilac brown Susan warm copper brown and Ashley cool beige brown a bit like Laura only pinker and Jennifer is my favorite Lip Pencil 12 The lip pencils are nice but nothing too terribly special I do like the colors but the texture is not consistent Some were dry and crumbly while others were smooth and easy to apply I tried 06 pink brown like MAC Spice 03 brownish maroon 04 warm brown 14 deep plum all great colors Overall I have mixed feelings about Lorac and would not recommend the entire line which is usually true of most lines Some of the products are great while others are average and rather over priced for what you get If you stick to the foundations eye shadows and lipsticks I think you ll be happy with the quality and wearability of the colors Lorac products are available online at eve com and sephora com New Feature for March Many of you write in regularly

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT March 2 1999 Far be it for me to ever imply that cosmetics can be boring never but every once in a while it s nice to find something unique and colorful something that isn t a basic brown shadow or a plain beige lipstick Too Faced Cosmetics has that something different that can put a little fun back into your everyday makeup routine Created by former Estee Lauder regional makeup artist Jerrod Blandino and former Chanel and Estee Lauder business manager Jeremy Johnson Too Faced is designed to bring fun and fanatasy back to the makeup counter Here s what the line offers Lipstick 13 50 I love the fun off the cuff names of these colors marcia marcia marcia pixie stick miss thing you re no lady hoochie drop dead red you get the idea I chose marcia marcia marcia a really pale pink shimmer from the prom queen collection and you re no lady a medium neutral mauve from the drama queen collection On my fair skin marcia marcia marcia works pretty well by itself with a nude lip liner it s pale but has enough shimmer to have some character You can also layer it with a darker shade for a different look For lipstick lovers this is a fun addition for creating new colors with those you already have Another interesting tidbit about this lipstick it smells like chocolate If you ve ever used cocoa butter lotion this lipstick smells tastes exactly the same Yum As an everyday shade I liked you re no lady better It reminds me of the infamous MAC Twig only with a bit less brown The creamy texture feels almost like lipgloss very smooth and moisturizing Eye Shadow 11 50 Too Faced has three eye shadow collections glitter soft sparkle and silky satin Although many of the shades appear vibrant in the pot they are actually light and blendable and can be layered over neutral shades to give your eyes a little more oompf I chose zsa zsa a bubble gum pink from the glitter collection and time bomb a medium lavender from the silky satin collection Other shades include astro turf temper temper dirt bag and ice queen just to name a few Since the shadows are rather sheer at first I applied my colors lightly for a subtle look Even though pink is hot this spring season it s just not my thing for eye shadow makes me look tired and sick so zsa zsa while very pretty shade is not a color I would normally wear Maybe for little color pop on the browbone or as an accent over a neutral beige I could see this color working for me Even if you are the type to shy away from purple eye shadow time bomb is worth considering This sheer lilac shade is subtle enough in one coat to work for light to medium skin but punchy enough with a little layering to work on darker skintones or just for more pizzazz Nail Lacquer 9 50 This polish comes in 8 eye catching colors like love hangover red metallic with red shimmer sigmond green with gold glitter and tiara hot pink with gold glitter I chose something on the subtle side martini a light blue gray with silver glitter Alone or over a perky pink or dramatic berry this is a pretty versatile shade I can see wearing again and again For more information on Too Faced or to purchase products online check out their website at http www toofaced com The line is also available in a few select retail stores including Fred Segal in Los Angeles Henri Bendel in NYC Liberty House in Hawaii and from Nordstrom by calling 1 800 7 BEAUTY Ever since Biore introduced their Pore Perfect Strips Pond s has been right there with their own version The competition continues with Biore s answer to Pond s Makeup Remover Towelettes see my review from Jan 26th Biore Facial Cleansing Cloths Let s start with the similarities between the two Both brands are pre moistened towelettes that are similar to baby wipes They are designed to remove all your makeup even waterproof mascara and clean your face so you don t need any other cleansing step Both brands sell for around 6 for a packet of 30 or so cloths That is where the similarities end I really wanted to like these Biore cleansing cloths especially since I like their pore strips so much better than Pond s but I just don t While the Pond s version has soothing ingredients like cucumber chamomile cornflower green tea vitamin E aloe and ginseng Biore s cloths start off with water and alcohol I could feel the difference immediately the alcohol laden Biore cloth stung my face especially around my eyes and left my skin feeling tight and dry As if that wasn t bad enough I had to use two cloths because they aren t very big and got fully covered with makeup after cleaning only half of my face I imagine for oily skin these cloths might feel okay more refreshing and light so I am saving mine to try this summer when my skin gets a little oily The only thing I really like about the Biore version is the cool white plastic box that the cloths come in It looks nice on a vanity or bathroom counter and is more bathroom proof heat water etc that the ordinary paper box that the Pond s towelettes come in I just put my packet of Pond s towelettes in the Biore box You loved it the first time so we re bringing her back for more What else could it be but Pam

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT February 27 1998 Here s breaking news for all you Stila fans we have color swatches and a full review of Stila s new Lip Rouge 26 Check out the first two colors pout and moue at Stila Lip Rouge Colors http www kleinman com cosmetic liprouge html Not since nail polish in pen form have I seen anything like this Stila has created a truly non transferable lipstain that doesn t eat kiss or wear off without a heck of a lot of work Lip Rouge is packaged in a handy go anywhere silver pen case that looks a little too much like a magic marker You may get some strange looks from anyone watching you apply it but it s worth it Lip Rouge is premiering with two colors pout and moue my personal favorite with more to follow for a total of 6 shades Both pout and moue start sheer and can be layered for deeper color I give Lip Rouge 5 out of 5 stars but be aware that the marker style tip can temporarily dry out if you don t store the tube tip down I love having a large collection of lipcolor choices so when I spotted a new lipgloss from Nat Robbins I couldn t resist HydraWear Lip Gloss around 3 in drugstores is a thick nicely shiny gloss packaged in a squeeze tube The stiff sponge applicator at the end of the tube helps spread the gloss down to a comfortable even layer that lasts fairly well for gloss The color selection includes wearable basics like chocolate kiss my favorite cocoa kiss raspberry mocha vienna think pink red kiss and silverado If you like gloss this is a great find that I readily give 5 out of 5 stars While learning about individual products is great sometimes it helps to know how different brands of the same product compare This week I tackled drugstore concealers starting with Jane No Show Concealer around 3 This lipstick style stick concealer is easy to apply right where you need it but I found it wasn t the best around the eyes It blended poorly on dark circles and caked into fine lines by midday For blemishes discolorations or miscellaneous spots on your face No Show is average earning 3 out of 5 stars Maybelline Undetectable Creme Concealer around 4 doesn t even come close to living up to its name Its creamy formula cakes and creases easily especially around the eyes making my face look heavily made up even with a relatively sheer application I wonder if the drugstore where I bought it will take it back Undetectable gets 1 out of 5 stars Of the three drugstore concealers I tried I liked L Oreal Hydra Perfecte Concealer Protective Hydrating Cover up around 6 the best You only need a tiny dab to effectively cover spots and discolorations without caking or creasing Hydra Perfecte is fine around the eyes but isn t quite opaque enough to cover very dark circles Because Hydra Perfecte is very creamy and moisturizing I would choose a drier product for covering blemishes Four of out 5 stars makes this an almost perfect choice It s Beauty Pack time again here at Cosmetic Connection

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT February 25 2000 While the fashion magazines are hyping up the latest 40 must have foundation and face creams that cost more than a used car most of us are more interested in great makeup at a reasonable price I admit that I have some favorites in the 20 30 and higher brands but you really don t have to spend that kind of money to look great Here are a few things I ve tried recently in the pursuit of well priced beauty Facewear Cosmetics Founder and artist Monika Boecker created Facewear eye shadows and lip colors to look the same on your skin as they do in the pot so you don t have to worry about a lipgloss that looks great in the container turning a weird shade on your lips The pots are also stackable so you can take multiple shades with you easily The line is small but growing and can currently be found on beauty com and beautyscene com Wet Dry Lid Stuff 12 50 each All the Facewear eyeshadows Lid Stuff can be used wet or dry and as shadow liner or brow color There are 13 colors total and two textures matte and frost I tried Afro a matte dark brown that looks great as liner Foil a light silver frost and Shag a light coral frost with a hint of gold perfect for the new spring coral trend Afro is a really basic color but Foil and Shag are fun non neutrals that I didn t think I would like but I do I never choose warm shades like coral but Shag used sparingly on my cool toned skin has a nice warmth and subtle shimmer that I could see myself wearing for spring All the colors wear well with little to no creasing or fading and they have a nice amount of pigment so you don t have to apply 3 or 4 layers to get the color you want What you see in the pot is what you get on your skin Lip Stuff 12 50 Again what you see is what you get with these glosses If you find that most lipsticks you try look great in the tube but completely different on your lips you ll find these colors refreshingly true Lip Stuff has a watermelon flavor and comes three textures luster semi gloss and high gloss I tried Bikini luster champagne beige Nothing semi gloss pearly white and Potion semi gloss sheer berry Bikini is too light for me but Nothing is great for layering over regular lipstick and Potion is a great berry shade that is sheer and looks great by itself The only thing I m not crazy about is the watermelon flavor I like that there is a flavor rather than just a scent but the watermelon makes me feel like I m 13 and chewing Bubblicious bubble gum I d rather taste something more grown up like citrus or vanilla Lip Pencil 8 I often skip lip liner even when I know I should use it because most are so dry and crumbly These have less wax so they are really smooth and creamy They don t drag when you put them on you can easily fill in your lips with them if you want to use the liner as lipcolor with a gloss on top and they have a nice matte finish that doesn t smear or feather I got 153 berry brown and 214 chocolate brown and I definitely plan on using them with my favorite lipsticks Facewear also makes glitter gels 10 and a small collection of brushes all around 12 that I plan on reviewing on Cosmetic Connection in the future Jerome Alexander All In One Natural Mineral Face Powder 19 95 comes with stick foundation If you hesitate to wear foundation because it takes too much time or effort or if you have sensitive or breakout prone skin that reacts to most liquid or cream makeup loose mineral powders like this one from Jerome Alexander are a great alternative In the loose mineral makeup category there are several brands to choose from and they all have roughly the same ingredients in a slightly different order Bare Minerals from Bare Escentuals mica iron oxides micronized titanium dioxide bismuth oxychloride Jerome Alexander mica bismuth oxychloride titanium dioxide and iron oxides La Bella Donna micronized titanium dioxide bismuth oxychloride zinc oxide iron oxide Youngblood titanium dioxide bismuth oxychloride mica iron oxides For most people these are ingredients that don t clog pores or irritate sensitive skin I ve tried several brands myself including Youngblood La Bella Donna Origins and Philosophy and I like Jerome Alexander the best It has very little shine does not cake or settle into fine lines and I think it feels the lightest on my skin Surprisingly I also found the best color match for me with JA and it comes in only three colors light medium and dark I can apply it with a loose powder brush for soft light to medium coverage and use the enclosed sponge to add a little extra to areas that need more attention All in all this is a great product at a great price You can find Jerome Alexander products online on the Home Shopping Network You can also find this foundation for around 10 on occasion at firstauction com which is where I got mine Almay One Coat Light Easy Makeup around 12 Every time a new foundation comes out I feel compelled to run out and try it This new stick from Almay comes in a lipstick type tube like most stick foundations but it has a sponge on the cap more like an eraser head for blending I found it to be both clever and useless If it wasn t so rigid it could have been handy but it s really not suitable for blending The foundation itself has a lightweight texture with sheer coverage that might be nice for someone who doesn t need much makeup but I found the coverage to be too thin for me One Coat also contains both isopropyl isostearate 3rd ingredient and isocetyl stearate 7th ingredient which are major acne causing ingredients Between the useless sponge the lack of good coverage and the possibility of pimples I only wore the makeup a few times to avoid a crop of new pimples on my finally decent looking skin I did not hesitate to return this makeup to the store for a refund SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT February 23 1999 I ve gotten several requests recently for my opinion of Youngblood mineral cosmetics so this week I am pleased to offer a complete review Enjoy Youngblood Skin Care was created by Pauline Youngblood a paramedical aesthetician who worked for 8 years for dermatologists and plastic surgeons with an interest in problematic skin She regularly met patients who had cosmetic needs that were not being met by regular products so she began working with chemists on a formulation of micronized minerals and pigments to create her own concealing powder The result was a lightweight foundation powder designed to be versatile and long lasting The Youngblood line has since grown to include mineral blush and most recently eye shadow Youngblood products are designed to work on any skin type because they are lightweight and natural with coverage that is easy to control Natural Mineral Foundation Loose Powder 29 95 This loose powder is designed to be your foundation concealer and finishing powder all in one It comes in 14 natural looking shades from lightest cool beige to deepest mahogany and is supposed to work well for all skin types The application techniques included with the powder are fairly involved basically to help you get the best results I found it did take me several tries over a period of about a week to get the color and coverage just right I experimented with ivory neutral and barely beige and finally settled with neutral as the best color for my skin I also switched between applying the foundation with a powder brush and applying it with a sponge and I found that a combination of the two techniques worked the best I now use the powder brush for all over coverage first then I go back with a little powder on the sponge to cover more difficult areas like blemishes and broken capillaries Since the powder is designed to be versatile you can even mix it with a moisturizer or water to create liquid foundation or concealer I mixed a small amount with some eye cream to create an undereye concealer the finish was lighter and less powdery than using the dry powder alone For my normal to dry but also acne prone skin I found the foundation covered well but didn t look heavy or thick and thankfully it did not dry my skin out a natural concern with most powders It did take me some time to get the application just right so I didn t get shiny by the end of the day a result of applying too much powder but once I got it figured out I really like the look and lightweight feel of this product better than many ordinary foundations I ve tried especially for covering blemishes Compact Mineral Foundation 32 50 Take the loose foundation mentioned above add a little talc and press it into a compact and you get Youngblood s Compact Foundation It s available in 10 shades ivory neutral barely beige soft beige honey warm beige rose beige toffee sunglow coffee and hazelnut and has a slightly matte finish which is nice for normal to oily skin Crushed Mineral Blush 15 95 A light dusting of one of these pretty mineral blushes over my Youngblood foundation completed the fresh and natural look I was hoping for with these products This loose powder blush comes in 6 shades dusty pink coral reef plumberry my favorite of the bunch cinnamon adobe and cabernet that are lighter and more translucent than most ordinary blushes Just like the foundation you simply tap some of the minerals into the lid of the jar your hand or on a tissue swirl in your brush to pick up the color and apply Compared to the department store brand blushes I normally wear Bobbi Brown Christian Dior Lorac I really prefer the sheerer glowing look of these minerals Crushed Mineral Eye Shadow 14 Youngblood recently introduced brand new loose mineral shadows and I have mixed feelings about them As a sleep deprived new mom steadily approaching 30 my eyes are starting to look shall we say less than youthful The last thing I want is a wrinkly looking eyelid and unfortunately that is what a few of these colors did to me particularly the ones with a touch of gold Here are shade descriptions Moonstone shimmering white Alabaster natural beige Peridot light green gold Golden Beryl golden shimmer Fire Opal copper pink Cashmere rich taupe touched with gold Granite light nude bronze Sedona rich red brown Azurite soft slate blue with touch of green Heather Smoke smoky purple Irish Moss rich olive green gold Morganite soft pink shine On a positive note the texture and blendability of these shadows are very nice and they wear well throughout the day I d recommend choosing the softer shades like Alabaster one of my favorites Azurite or Sedona Youngblood also has a line of brushes as well as a small selection of skin care products including a cucumber cleansing gel two alcohol free toners and a handful of moisturizers and specialty treatments I hope to have reviews of these products in the coming months For

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT February 20 1998 Every time I visit my local cosmetic counters and the saleswoman asks me what skin care I use it s never the same thing I am constantly changing looking for the perfect product For the past several weeks my bathroom has been Estee Lauder central complete with a few of their basic skin care products All in all I was pleasantly surprised with them I haven t used EL since I was about 15 and could see buying some of these again Tender Creme Cleanser for normal dry skin 16 50 for 4 2 oz tube I really like how gentle and thorough this cleanser is For those of us with skin that s more dry or sensitive it s an excellent choice I found it worked best if I applied it to my dry face massaged it in for several seconds then rinsed it off with lukewarm or slightly cool water It removes makeup easily and doesn t leave a greasy film If you like something that foams or lathers this isn t for you I d give this one a perfect 5 out of 5 stars Splash Away Foaming Cleanser for all skin types 18 50 for 3 4 ounce tube If you have normal slightly oily or oily skin this is a great foaming cleanser that won t leave your skin overly dry or tight The creamy lather smells fresh and leaves the skin soft and smooth Personally I didn t find the for all skin types claim to be true however it left my already dry skin tight and flaky when I used it both morning and night just in the morning was better Splash Away does remove face makeup well but keep it away from your eyes to avoid painful stinging For every skin type but dry this gets 4 out of 5 stars Clear Finish Purifying Toner 16 for 6 7 ounces This toner comes in two alcohol free formulas one for normal dry skin and one for normal oily skin Both are effective refreshing and have a clean fruity fragrance The normal dry version soothes with peach lavender and thyme extracts while the normal oily helps control oil with grapefruit papaya and orchid extracts Both get 4 out of 5 stars DayWear Super Anti Oxidant Complex SPF 15 37 50 for 1 7 oz jar While I don t think you have to spend 37 50 for a good moisturizer with SPF 15 I would do it again for this one This medium weight cream soothes and protects with hyaluronic acid SPF 15 and an anti oxidant blend of green tea extract grapeseed extract ubiquinone rice bran extract folic acid and vitamins E C and beta carotene While Estee Lauder says it s good for all skin types oily skins might be happier with the new lotion form coming out in March For normal combination and dry skin I love this product and give it 5 out of 5 stars In addition to trying new skin care every few weeks I am constantly replenishing my selection of hair care products with something new and different This week I added Phytotherathrie botanical hair care to my collection I was recommended Phytosatine shampoo for dry hair 16 for 6 8 ounces and Phytherose conditioner for dry hair 18 for 5 ounces by the counter rep so I decided to give them a try I recently permed my hair to make it curly all over it was curly in some spots wavy in others and easier to style no more annoying straightening but it s a bit dehydrated from the chemicals After using Phyto for a week my hair is softer less frizzy and just looks better The Phytosatine shampoo contains camelina sativa oil to restore softness but I think the real results came from the Phytherose conditioner Its abyssinia rose extract cocoa butter sesame oil and shea butter make it a rich treatment that revitalizes the most damaged of hair For dry hair this conditioner is a must try Find a Phytotherathrie location near you by calling 800 648 0349 Looking for something fun and spring y to add to your makeup bag Prestige s new Stardust Loose Powder shadows around 4 at drugstores are a great inexpensive find Choose from fairy light pink nude pearl bewitched lilac hocus pocus gold abracadabra rosy pink and twinkle aqua blue You can use them straight from the shaker container on your eyes or mix them with your favorite lipbalm or gloss or Prestige s Lip Potion lipbalm around 3 to make shimmery colored lipgloss I picked up fairy and tried it on both my eyes and lips For Stila aficionados the fairy color is like a cross between kitten and jezebel shadows On lips you can make it as rich or as sheer as you like depending on how you mix it For eyes just dip your brush in and apply the color is light and blends easily Tired of ragged cuticles brittle nails and parched hands Our Feature for February on Hand and Nail Care is your complete guide to hand and nail treatments as well as fun nail polishes to try The Makeup Diva is in Considering all the products I ve reviewed it s hard to remember which ones were good bad or just plain ordinary This week

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT February 18 2000 This week my focus is on eyes from an unusual mascara to a few eyeshadow bases you don t want to miss Remember if there is ever a product you d like us to cover either in The Cosmetic Report or on Cosmetic Connection just drop me an email and let me know We ve got a whole Panel of reviewers working every day to try all we can Kiss Me Cream Mascara 19 95 This new mascara from Japan has been getting some decent press lately so I was glad to have the opportunity to try it Unlike traditional mascaras that deposit color right on your lashes like paint Kiss Me coats the lashes forming tiny tubes of color around each lash It s imperceptible until you take it off all you need is warm water and a little pressure using your fingers and the tubes slide right off The first time I used it I was surprised at how thin and spidery they were especially when they stuck to my face The look of the mascara is definitely more defining and slightly thickening but it s not much for lengthening My only complaint is that the mascara did not stay on as well as I expected The directions say it will come off only with both water and pressure together but I found that if I rubbed my eyes or applied any amount of pressure the little tubes were easy to slide off between my fingers You can find Kiss Me Cream Mascara online exclusively at blinc inc com Tony Tina Therapeutic Eye Base 22 If eyeshadow creasing or fading is a problem for you an eyeshadow base is sometimes the best way to get the color to stay put This one from Tony Tina comes in one shade a medium peachy flesh color and does a decent job as an eyeshadow base It also works well as an under eye concealer I can t say it s very therapeutic though the apple extract vitamins and cucumber that are hyped up in the product description are pretty far down on the ingredient list actually listed in the may contain section I didn t find that it did much for puffiness nor is it particularly refreshing All in all a decent base and eye concealer Tony Tina cosmetics are available at Nordstrom sephora com eve com and tonytina com Alexandra deMarkoff Disguise for Eyes 27 Although it is designed only as an eyeshadow base and not as a concealer for under the eyes I think Disguise for Eyes has better texture and wearability than the Tony Tina Eye Base Disguise for Eyes also comes in just one shade a light pinky ivory which for me is an ideal shade for concealing unevenness and creating a smooth surface for eyeshadow I found the slightly powdery finish lasted longer than Tony Tina s more creamy texture whether you use it alone or with shadow or liner It stays crease free and fresh looking all day I would definitely buy this again You can find Alexandra deMarkoff online at eve com Peter Thomas Roth AHA Kojic Under Eye Brightener 48 Although many of us are resigned to the fact that a good concealer is about as close as we ll come to ridding ourselves of dark under eye circles there are plenty of creams claiming to eliminate them for good The Peter Thomas Roth line has quite an assortment of skin lighteners and this one for the eye area is actually worth a look This medium weight cream contains glycolic acid in a low enough concentration so it doesn t irritate kojic acid a skin lightener and azelaic acid a naturally occurring acid that helps the skin renew itself more quickly to work on those dark circles and safflower oil and shea butter to moisturize and make fine lines less noticeable After using Under Eye Brightener twice daily for about a month I do think my eyes look less tired and the darkness I ve had in the corners and just under my eyes has diminished Considering that you can choose from many department store and boutique eye creams that sell for much more and do much less I think this one is a good choice at a decent price You can find Peter Thomas Roth products online at Beauty Habit Drugstore com Bliss Spa

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT February 16 1999 I don t know about you but it seems like I m always on the lookout for the perfect skin care a cleanser that removes makeup well and leaves my skin feeling clean and comfortable a toner or freshener that refreshes without drying and a moisturizer that solves whatever skin issue I m having at the time this usually calls for more than one product to choose from There are plenty of products on the market that I like and plenty that I don t but in the name of Cosmetic Connection research my search continues to find all the skin care gems out there This quest recently lead me to my local drugstore and a new display for RoC skin care from France now owned by Johnson Johnson The selection was fairly small so I only got cleanser toner and moisturizer 2 en 1 Demaquillant Cleanser Toner In One around 8 for 6 76 ounces This cleanser is not very water soluble but I am partial to thick lotion style cleansers for my normal to dry skin so I kind of like this one I apply a generous amount to dry skin and massage in to remove my makeup then I remove it carefully with a warm washcloth I ve tried simply splashing it off with water but it requires a bit more work than that Some people like using a washcloth like me some don t so if you prefer something more rinseable this cleanser is not for you Tonique Douceur Gentle Skin Toner around 8 for 6 76 ounces As alcohol free toners go this is a nice non irritating choice With so many products having ingredient lists that go on and on and on this one is surprisingly short fewer chemicals and preservatives often mean less chance for irritation which is great for dry and or sensitive skin Hydra Effet Reservoir Long Lasting Moisturizer 15 for 1 35 ounces Pay no attention to the claims that this moisturizer makes on the package it s simply a basic moisturizer for normal to dry skin It also claims AHA action but it s not in the sense of exfoliating like you might expect from an alpha hydroxy acid if anything the small amount simply enhances the moisturizing effects of the other ingredients I thought this cream was okay not great and not suitable for day use because it has no sun protection RoC makes several other products including a retinol cream a few other moisturizers and a cleanser and toner for normal to oily skin You ll find the line at your local drugstore or by calling 1 800 762 1964 As you all know I can never resist trying something new Last week I picked up the new Colorstay Compact Makeup around 12 from Revlon quite an interesting product After the explosion of natural looking cream to powder foundations like Vincent Longo Water Canvas Shiseido Liquid Compact Lancome Cool Finish and Prescriptives Photochrome I m not surprised that Revlon has come out with their own version This one is lightweight oil free no animal vegetable or mineral oil and has sheer coverage that builds only slightly so it s better if you don t have much to hide Since it s Colorstay it is transfer resistant and long wearing but thankfully doesn t set immediately so you actually have time to blend it unlike the other Colorstay foundations You also get SPF 25 sun protection from titanium dioxide one of the preferred sunscreen ingredients For normal to oily skin that doesn t need much coverage this is a foundation to consider The one downside is the compact itself the cream liquid foundation is in the bottom under a mesh screen then there is a screw top lid but there is no place to keep the included sponge except right on top of the foundation This design flaw lets the sponge practically stew in the makeup transferring any bacteria that may come from your face right onto the makeup There is an easy solution just store them separately but it s a pain if you want to take the compact with you in your purse Personally I won t be buying it again The color I chose buff was a great match but the coverage is too sheer It also looks and feels a bit too dry for my normal to dry skin I m always excited about welcoming new Panelists to our happy and busy little family Our newest member Aina offers her opinions on cosmetic lines for women of color

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT February 13 1998 Looking for something truly unique and different in skin care I found some great new products from Philosophy this week that go beyond the ordinary The Great Awakening skin rejuvenation treatment 25 two versions pink for skin that burns in the sun blue for skin that tans combines a powerful enzyme gel with an oxygen foam to give you a deeply exfoliating facial at home Philosophy says you ll see smoother cleaner and brighter skin in just one use and for the most part I found that was true In Step One you apply the catalase enzyme gel to the skin which begins exfoliating the skin you can feel it heat up It then acts as a carrier for the oxygen foam in Step Two which delivers both oxygen and water to the skin You may be wondering like I did why you would want to put oxygen into your skin After all aren t the anti oxidant creams we pay good money for supposed to keep the oxygen out According to Philosophy a deep infusion of oxygen allows for maximum exfoliation of the skin revealing fresh new cells and improving the rate of cell regeneration Hard to prove but my skin did look fresher and more alive after one use and I haven t need a regular scrub The only irritation I experienced was from removing the foam for really deep exfoliation Philosophy recommends you either shave yes you read that right the foam off or use the enclosed spatula to scrape it off I scraped If you are sensitive or the notion of scraping or shaving doesn t do it for you you can also just rinse it off After using The Great Awakening Philosophy recommends using an anti oxidant to protect the fresh newly exposed cells from environmental damage I decided to try Hope and A Prayer topical vitamin C 45 their newest and most unusual anti oxidant product Unlike other vitamin C products I ve tried you actually mix Hope and A Prayer fresh every time you use it the kit comes with a bottle of vitamin C powder and a bottle of oil free liquid solvent great for any skin type and made with algae and ginseng extracts Not only does this method ensure the vitamin C is stable but it allows you to choose how strong you want it to be If you ve tried vitamin C products that made you break out were too weak or too strong Hope and A Prayer might be just what you re looking for For Philosophy locations near you call 1 800 love 151 or visit their website at www philosophy com Wrapping up our series on vitamin skin creams I have to admit I am not easily impressed but I was when I saw results with Estee Lauder s Diminish Retinol Treatment 47 50 for 1 ounce after just two days Retinol is a vitamin A derivative that gently exfoliates dead and damaged skin cells replacing them with fresh new cells This sloughing action can make wrinkles less severe and reduce splotchiness age spots and sun damage On developing wrinkles around my eyes and those stubborn red spots left over from healed blemishes Diminish made my skin look smoother and more translucent in the first few days After just three weeks of nightly use my skin tone is more even with fewer red blotchy areas The retinol in Diminish is encapsulated in collagen to be gentle so there s less chance of irritation great for someone with sensitive skin and it s lightweight so any skin type can use it Diminish is rather expensive at almost 50 an ounce but for its traditional lotion texture that doubles as a regular moisturizer soothing green tea extract and impressive results I would recommend it to anyone looking for a smoother complexion I m always looking for a truly long lasting lipstick that doesn t come off every time I have a cup of coffee or a snack so when Clinique introduced their new Superlast Cream lipstick 13 50 I was curious After trying on all 14 lovely shades at my local Clinique counter I selected moonviolet a medium brownish plum shade I love the color and even though it was not completely transfer proof most of the color did last through the day without a touchup Compared to the other long wearing lipsticks I ve tried Superlast is better than Revlon ColorStay Maybelline Great Wear L Oreal Colour Endure and Cover Girl Marathon

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT February 11 2000 Valentine s Day is right around the corner so I ve been on the lookout for products that suit the occasion As usual we have winner and losers You can find online shopping locations where applicable at the end of each review I ve tried to list all the locations where the products are available Astara Green Papaya enzyme mask 34 for 2 2 ounce jar This is the newest addition to the Astara collection of facial masks a collection that I think has some of the best masks on the market The Blue Flame and Violet Flame are chock full of potent botanical extracts and plant oils and the new Green Papaya is no different These masks are not for the faint of skin so sensitive readers beware The Green Papaya mask is a bit gentler than the others but it still has clay to draw out excess oil and help clear up any blemishes and plant extracts like chamomile linden comfrey and calendula that you can definitely feel working on your skin I am surprised that I actually like the Blue Flame and Violet Flame masks better than this one simply because they feel more active on my face You can find the Astara Green Papaya mask at beautyjungle com as well as the rest of Astara s facial care products Astara is also carried at beautyscene com Renee Rouleau Honey Tangerine Body Scrub 29 50 for 8 ounce jar For a quick spa experience at home this sea salt and essential oil scrub is a nice change from plain soap and water The gritty texture reminds me of Origins Salt Rub but the tangerine oil and honey in this scrub are more emollient and leave an oilier film on your skin that for dry skin is nice but does take some getting used to The package recommends using it as the last step in the shower but I find that I don t feel clean and I certainly did not want to get the oils all over a bath towel I would either drip dry or use it first before a regular cleanser The scrub itself does a great job of getting rid of dry flaky skin and the honey and citrus oils smell heavenly I m not sure I would get it again but I do plan to enjoy the jar that I have You can find Honey Tangerine Body Scrub at ReneeRouleau com Dermalogica MultiVitamin Power Recovery Masque review by Connie of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel This masque has everything in it but the kitchen sink Here is how Dermalogica describes this product A powerful anti inflammatory masque of concentrated vitamins and botanical extracts to calm environmentally stressed skin Firming Vitamin A increases elasticity and moisture content antioxidant Vitamin C aids in collagen synthesis restoring suppleness Vitamin E and Provitamin B5 promote healthy tissue regeneration while anti inflammatory botanical extracts of Licorice Comfrey and Burdock soothe the skin Well with all that I was expecting a lot The product comes in a silver tube with a twist off cap It is a thin runny cream like gel in an off white color When I applied the product to my face it was as if I was putting face cream on that did not absorb but instead left a gel over your face Unlike most masques that I have used this did not dry or get hard Instead it just laid on the surface of the skin supposedly using its magic to correct my environmentally stressed skin It was a bit tingly on the face but did not sting It left a cool feeling immediately after applying the product which felt nice After about 10 minutes my face it started to feel a bit greasy It was extremely hard to rinse off and I had to use face soap to remove the product The morning after my face was extremely oily more so than usual It did not look less puffy anywhere on my face there goes the anti inflammatory nor did my skin ever appear to be more toned and tight Within a couple of days after use I had some blemishes If you have normal to oily skin this might not be the masque for you However if you have extremely dry skin this may be just what you have been looking for as a nice moisturizing masque that does not sting or dry out your face SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines cosmetics Cosmetics cosmetics SPONSOR

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT February 10 1999 This week I am pleased to bring you my complete review of the new Organics skincare line from Kiss My Face Enjoy Kiss My Face has always prided themselves for offering natural skin care and cosmetics and this new Organics line is no different In addition to the natural organic herbs the products are also unique because there are no added preservatives the pump dispensers keep the ingredients air tight and bacteria free no added fragrance no unnecessary chemicals no artificial colors no animal testing and no animal ingredients All of the products are brimming with fruit and plant extracts and oils and they are reasonably priced between 9 16 Overall I like the line and would recommend it to anyone looking for truly natural skincare Gentle Face Cleanser 10 for 4 ounces This lotion cleanser has an intriguing aroma blend of rose red clover and orange but more importantly it takes off makeup nicely and doesn t leave an oily film on your face The label says for normal dry skin but I think it s a great choice for any skin type Exfoliating Face Wash 10 for 4 ounces If you prefer a cleanser that foams this light citrusy gel is for you I don t think you ll really get much exfoliation from this but used daily for normal oily skin or as a weekly pick me up for other skin types the fragrant blend of lemon grapefruit tangerine lemon grass orange and lime oils also have a slightly astringent quality that leaves your skin feeling really fresh and alive Aloe Chamomile Toner for normal dry skin and Aloe Tea Tree Astringent for normal oily skin 9 each for 4 ounces These are both sprays contain no alcohol and have essential oils like lavender and tea tree in a base of aloe and witch hazel The only difference is the normal oily one has camphor while the normal dry version has chamomile Ultra Light Facial Creme 10 for 4 ounces If you hate most moisturizers because they feel too heavy or greasy this is a lotion for you Whoever came up with this product s name is right on target The vegetable based glycerin ingredients keep moisture in your skin throughout the day without making it oily or slick Grapeseed oil also moisturizes and acts as an anti oxidant and a blend of grapefruit tea tree lemon grass and orange oils have a slightly astringent effect that s great for normal oily skin plus they smell terrific Vitamin C A Ultra Rich Moisturizer 15 for 1 ounce Dry skin get ready for relief This rich lotion has a heavenly red clover scent and moisturizes with sunflower grapeseed jojoba and rose oils plus vitamins A C and E Anti Ox Facial Serum 15 for one ounce As with other anti oxidant products it s not immediately obvious if they are doing anything for the skin What makes this serum different is its completely natural ingredients organic rose hips aloe vitamins A and E plus borage lemon lime chamomile lavender tea tree and grapefruit oils If nothing else it smells great and makes a nice light moisturizer Organic Jojoba Mint Facial Scrub 10 for 2 ounces I really like the consistency of this scrub just scrubby enough to feel it but gentle enough to use every day but the mint can really bowl you over If your skin isn t bothered by plant oils then you ll probably enjoy the eye opening aroma my skin wasn t too happy about so much mint so I ve got to limit my use to once a week at the most Botanical Acne Gel 16 for 1 7 ounces Again a treatment like this with high levels of peppermint tea tree and camphor oils can work great for some people s acne and not so hot for others I m one of the others and can t use it makes my acne more red and inflamed If you ve had success with botanical treatments in the past or if you ve tried everything else and are curious about the all natural option this gel is worth trying It s alcohol free and contains aloe and chamomile so it s gentler than most chemical acne gels A little goes a long way so the 1 7 ounce bottle should easily last several months You can learn more about Kiss My Face at their website at http www kissmyface com They even have secure online shopping if you can t find their products in your town I m always excited about

Flash colored hair mascara 19 50 has just come out in great new spring colors including Lilac Samba Pop Violet Disco Rose Honey Techno Blue Honey is the most neutral but I really recommend trying one of the brighter shades just for fun they look more vibrant in the tube than they do in your hair and they wash out with your next shampoo Was one of your New Year s resolutions to lose weight or get in better shape If working out at the gym isn t your favorite activity but you still want to firm up you might consider one of the many cellulite gels or creams on the market that claim to reduce cellulite in as little as 4 weeks I m no exercise buff so I decided to put Lancome s Reflexe Minceur Cellulite Refining Gel 40 00 to the test for 4 weeks Could it really make a difference I faithfully applied the gel to my target areas every morning for 4 weeks and I see NO difference whatsoever The gel creates a filmy finish over the skin that can make it temporarily appear smooth but that it just washes away with no lasting effect If you truly want to lose inches or tone up those less than perfect areas I m afraid we still have to do it the hard way Thinking about trying some new skin care products this spring Hair colorist to the stars Brad Johns has a wonderful but little known skin care collection for dry sensitive or oily blemish prone skin that s worth checking out if you re tired of department store lines I tested the dry sensitive products which would also work great for normal skin including lotion cleanser 20 for 8 4 ounces alcohol free toner 18 for 8 4 ounces moisturizer cream 36 for 2 ounce jar and for all skin types gentle exfoliating beads 36 for 4 ounces Don t let the plain black and white packaging fool you these are quality high end products All four products

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT February 4 1999 As I m sure you ve figured out by now after visiting Cosmetic Connection and reading all of our reviews we get pretty excited about makeup In the coming weeks I plan to share with you some of the products that I find useful time saving or just plain fun like the new spring colors coming out soon I hope you enjoy it Since having my baby I really don t wear lipstick anymore but I sure go through a lot of lipbalm I ve got a tube or jar of a different brand of lipbalm all around the house in my office in the car you name it I ve got it One of my favorites for when my lips feel really dry and cracked is Remede Hydralock Lip This rich cream acts more like a moisturizer than most lip products I ve tried sinking in to relieve dryness and make your lips feel more supple It also helps your lipstick last longer too Remede products are available at Bliss Spa in New York City 1 888 243 8825 and through the Bliss website at http www blissworld com Don t let the fact that it s winter fool you it s still important to use a sunscreen every day under your makeup or in your foundation Daily use of a broad spectrum product can prevent premature aging of the skin caused by sun damage That s a good enough reason for me to use one I recently discovered Lyphazome Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF 30 and have been really pleased with how it feels on my skin It lightly moisturizes without feeling heavy or greasy is waterproof and sweatproof and has broad spectrum uva uvb protection This is a great year round choice for all skin types I got my Lyphazome from the Steven Miller Skin Care website One of the few beauty routines I ve stuck with since having a baby is keeping my eyebrows well groomed Even if I leave the house wearing no foundation or lipstick I always comb through my brows pluck any stray hairs and finish them off with a clear brow gel I ve tried a few of the drugstore brands but they just don t hold as well or look as natural as Brow Shaper from Sebastian s Trucco makeup line It looks natural not stiff or sticky and it holds well all day You can learn more about Trucco cosmetics at http www

During the cold dry winters here in the Midwest my hair gets quite dry Since I get my hair colored and cut every 6 weeks at the exceptional Stephen Colatruglio salon which was visited by Dolores O Riordan of the Cranberries before her performance I don t really have a problem with split ends but I do need gentle products that will keep my red tresses hydrated smooth and shiny I have found three products which stand out for accomplishing this task well Stephen Knoll Healthy Intensive Conditioner 6oz for about 30 Created by the famous color guru this conditioner is meant to be used once a month or more less as needed for lasting results And last they do You leave this treatment on anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours depending on the level of conditioning you need and how much time you have to relax I leave it on for about an hour and a half while I m mucking about my apartment and the end results are great Hair becomes shiny smooth and full of volume While it seems expensive this product is so effective and concentrated that the 6 ounce bottle will last a long time I use it once every 4 6 weeks with great success You can find Stephen Knoll products at drugstore com eve com and ibeauty com Komenuka Bijin Shampoo 350 ml for 33 The name Komenuka Bijin in Japanese means rice bran beautiful person I have been hearing buzz about this line in all the fashion mags for over a year so I was excited to see how they would work for me This shampoo is a wonderfully concentrated formula that makes your hair shine with a capital S Its luxurious lightly scented lather shampoos in moisture and body without stripping color I know the price will cause a bit of sticker shock but this formula is so rich and you need so little that the initial investment pays off Komenuka Bijin Hair Conditioning Treatment 200 g for 33 This conditioner is sooooo rich and moisturizing your hair will literally drink it in When paired with the shampoo your hair will thank you with amazing shine volume and very few fly aways It s also nice that you only have to leave it on for a few minutes only 3 5 will do the job considering that I almost never have time to dawdle in the morning I even applaud the easy to grip tube All you need is a small strip of product 3 4 to 1 depending on hair length for great results Sure it isn t the cheapest thing but I guarantee you are worth every penny You can find Komenuka Bijin products at beautyhabit com eve com and beautyjungle com Heavy Duty reviews from Nava learn more about Nava here TurboScrub body scrub 20 for 10 5 ounces Now that winter has arrived after a four year hiatus here on the East coast my skin couldn t be any drier or flakier It s been quite a challenge lately to keep the skin on my body moist and comfortable Oddly enough my face has followed suit by being especially dehydrated But that s another story altogether Heather was nice enough to send me some of Heavy Duty s Turbo Body Scrub It along with their Hand Cream has been a godsend during this long anticipated deep freeze It is clearly printed on the label that Turbo Body Scrub is Industrial Strength Believe me in this case the label is not lying Along with pumice this product contains walnut and apricot shells after water they are the first three ingredients In addition to these powerful exfoliators kiwi extract and aloe vera gel are included to soothe dry skin Essential oils of orange and peppermint provide a much needed wakeup call on these dreary winter mornings After using it in the shower Turbo Body Scrub left me feeling soft and scale free For best results follow up with your favorite body moisturizer HandGear hand cream 15 for a 3 5 ounce tube If dry cracked hands are a problem for you give Heavy Duty Hand Cream a try as well Its rich greaseless formula sinks in quickly and provides needed moisture to vulnerable hands Since I pay so much attention to my face it would be tantamount to treason to neglect my hands The 3 5 oz tube is very portable and you only need the tiniest bit I used to think nothing could sway me from my beloved Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream but Heavy Duty is a great alternative You can find the complete line of Heavy Duty body care products at Beautycafe com Sephora com gloss com eve com beautyscene com beautyjungle com in the Global Chic department dots2 com or ibeauty com J F Lazartigue review from Connie learn more about Connie here I recently had a chance to try 4 products from the J F Lazartigue haircare line Lazartigue is a high end haircare line that can be found on eve com Lazartigue has several lines to choose from including everyday dry hair oily hair frizzy hair volumizing styling and special treatments I tried products from the everyday dry hair volumizing and styling lines Rapid Drying Shampoo 17 for 5 oz Yes you read right 17 for 5 ounces but hey if it dries your hair faster I m in I was so excited to try this product because my hair is thick and long and takes forever and a day to dry The product claims to enable you to cut your drying time by up to 30 either naturally or with a hair dryer depending on length and type of hair Well it did not work for me It took me the same amount of time to dry and sometimes even felt a like a longer amount of time to dry I did everything no product in the hair air dry towel dry than blow dry but nothing seemed to speed up the total drying time This is a nice shampoo however and I did like the way my hair looked and felt after using it Again it did say drying time depended on the hair type and maybe this kind of shampoo just won t click with my hair Hair Volume Tonic 32 for 3 4 oz This is a leave in product which is supposed to help you style and maintain volume and body to your hair I did like this product My hair had lots of life to it and shine after using it It lifted at my roots a bit and held the curls towards my ends when I used a hair dryer The drawback is the price It is a bit steep and I have tried several other products like Paul Mitchell s Heat or Matrix s Volume for much less money and they held my hair just the same Pre Shampoo Cream With Shea Butter 51 for 6 8 oz Well my hair is as dry as can be especially with this Chicago winter I was excited to try this and was not disappointed The directions say to apply the cream to the most damaged part of the hair and leave on for at least 2 hours rinse and follow the recommended shampoo I put it on right before bed and slept with it in my hair I loved this stuff On the days that I used it I noticed a difference in my hair it was looked less dry softer and shinier and felt full and healthy I noticed an extreme difference between the nights I used it and nights that I did not The hard thing was working it into my nightly routine I don t know about you but I do not have 2 hours to kill before washing my hair in the morning so I had to do it at night I was skeptical about this product because I thought after I used it there would be no change and it would all wash out I was wrong It did make a great deal of difference in my hair for the better The price might just be worth it for this You can find Lazartigue

lipstick and melon gloss Our vitamin cream series continues this week with Lancome s new Vitabolic Deep Radiance Booster 45 with vitamin C ginseng and ginkgo Unlike most vitamin C products that are serums Lancome has stabilized vitamin C in a gel creme form that is lightly moisturizing Like other vitamin C product Vitabolic helps repair and prevent damage to the skin by the sun and pollutants in the environment like smoke Its real difference is ginseng stimulates increases skin s resistance to stress and ginkgo improves skin tone which give the skin an instant rosey boost I ve been using it under my makeup every morning and it really makes me look more refreshed and awake One drawback If you flush easily or have rosacea this rosey effect might not be for you so test it on your skin at the Lancome counter before you buy I knew it would happen eventually I just wasn t sure when Clinique finally came out with a product that I like Seriously though Clinique is not one of my favorite

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT January 28 2000 While it sometimes seems like we are very department store and prestige focused around here I do like to keep a healthy mix of reviews so you always have a choice This week I ve got a few good bad and otherwise drugstore products to share Sonia Kashuk Lip Glossing 5 99 in Flirt For quality makeup on a budget the Sonia Kashuk line at Target is hard to beat I use the powder and blush brushes regularly and just discovered this lipgloss during a recent shopping trip Flirt is one of those MAC Twig looks great on anybody goes with anything sort of colors a medium pink brown with just the right amount of shine The texture is a bit on the grainy side but I like the look and the color enough to get used to it It wears pretty well too but it s light enough that I don t mind reapplying All in all I ve found this to be a very flattering product that I would definitely buy again Clairol Herbal Essences Skin Care Before taking my current break from reviewing skin care even my skin needs a rest from time to time I picked up the Fresh Foam Mild Facial Cleanser Alcohol Free Toner and Moisture Renewal Lotion for normal to dry skin After putting all three to the test both together and independently I like the Fresh Foam Mild Facial Cleanser around 4 for 5 ounces the best It has a light airy texture and is a nice pick me up in the shower Personally I find the texture too thin for using at night to remove makeup but in the morning it s great The Alcohol Free Toner is about as basic as they come and a nice choice if you use a toner At around 4 for 8 5 ounces you can t beat it I was not too crazy about the Moisture Renewal Lotion around 5 for 4 23 ounces for my skin mainly because it s too thin and lightweight If you have oily or normal to oily skin that needs a little extra moisture in the winter this might be a nice choice but for dry skin it s not enough For those of you concerned about acne causing ingredients this one is actually safe Oil of Olay Complete Radiance Compact Foundation 13 95 in Fair Honey This new makeup from Oil of Olay will be coming in March to a drugstore near you I was fortunate enough to get a sample ahead of time Oil of Olay is doing a great job of expanding their cosmetic line and for the non acne prone this is a nice new choice in powder based foundations Complete Radiance powder has a soft silky feel with medium coverage that is lightly oil absorbing It also has broad spectrum SPF 15 sun protection and comes in 10 natural looking shades I like that it doesn t emphasize dry areas of the face and it doesn t get oily or shiny looking by the middle of the day What did not thrill me was the pimples it gave me thanks to tocopherol and dioctyl succinate two acne causing ingredients This is yet another lesson that you can t always believe the product package this one says non comedogenic and non acnegenic If this is not a concern for you then you might like the look feel and fairly reasonable price Alba Botanica Cream Shave 5 50 for 8 ounce tube in Pearberry In a recent Cosmetic Report I mentioned that I was using hair conditioner as shave cream shame on me A helpful reader was good enough to recommend her favorite shave cream to me so of course I had to give it a try Alba Botanica is a healthfood store brand I had not tried before but if their other products are anything like this shave cream I will have to do a full review The scent I tried Pearberry is described as combination of summer fresh pear and blackberry with just a hint of nectar and I d say that s right on the money It also comes in Mango Vanilla Coconut Lime and Bengal Spice The best part is the texture more like a body cream than a shaving foam It really clings and does a great job of eliminating razor drag and painful nicks My legs are grateful You can learn more about Alba Botanica at albabotanica com or image style com Both have online ordering in case you can t find it in a store near you In Beauty News Many of you have been writing to me over the last few months asking about Coty cosmetics and their limited availability The products you ve come to rely on have been slowly disappearing from store shelves and of course you want to know why Well I just got a bit of news that might clear things up Coty pulled all their cosmetics last year and will be coming back with their UK brand Rimmel in the US starting in March exclusively in Wal Mart stores The only product from the old line that you ll be able to find is the Air Spun face powder new Rimmel products will include 3 kinds of lipstick nail polish two types of foundation eye shadow two kinds of eye liner face powders and blush Prices will be in three groups 1 97 2 97 and 3 97 As soon as I can get

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT January 25 1999 Big news The Cosmetic Report has moved to Tuesdays You can still expect the same great reviews and tips every week now on Tuesday instead of Friday In this week s issue I thought I d share a few cosmetic finds I ve discovered over the last few weeks that have made my life better or easier The first is Pond s Cleansing and Make up Remover Towelettes 6 for a box of 30 extremely handy if you hate fussing with complicated skin care every night before bed or if you just have a hectic schedule and need a quick makeup remover and cleanser in one These handy towelettes are large like a washcloth and work great to remove all your makeup and leave your skin feeling clean not oily or filmy I use them several times a week at night then follow up with my regular moisturizer Definitely worth checking out As if winter weather wasn t harsh enough on my skin now that I m handling my baby all day long I m constantly washing and further drying my hands My dermatologist recommended I try Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream and I have to say it s fantastic Just a tiny dab instantly smooths and protects my skin and it doesn t feel heavy or greasy like most dry skin moisturizers I chose the unscented version and have been using it faithfully every time I wash my hands For dry skin I really recommend this one I don t get out as quite as often as I used to but when I do run to the store or take the baby for a walk I like to look my best I spotted Almay s new Skin Stays Clean foundation around 11 at the drugstore and decided to try it for evening out my splotchy complexion and hiding those post pregnancy blemishes The lightweight oil free formula covers surprisingly well without looking heavy or fake and you can build the sheer to medium coverage by layering if you need to on problem areas This foundation does contain salicylic acid which works to keep pores clear but can irritate sensitive areas of the face like the eye area I usually use my foundation as an undereye concealer and eye shadow base but not this one it made my eye lids sting Aside from that I ve been pleased with its coverage and lightweight feel Passionate about a perfect pout Our Panelist Pam has put together the ultimate guide to lip gloss for beginners and gloss devotees alike From ultrabasic Kiehl s baby lip balm to long

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT January 23 1998 Are you suffering from the winter blahs Does your face need a little pick me up This week we bring you reviews of a few handy products to help you through until spring Check your local drugstore or makeup counter these days and you ll find that vitamin packed moisturizers and treatments are becoming as common as alpha and beta hydroxy acids Both vitamin A and C face creams promise everything from improved clarity to diminished wrinkles Being the tireless investigator that I am grin over the next several weeks The Cosmetic Report will feature a series of reviews on these wonder creams Conveniently packaged in individual use capsules Avon s Anew Formula C Facial Capsules 19 00 for 30 capsules one month supply deliver a pre measured dose of vitamin C in a silky cream base Vitamin C is an anti oxidant vitamin that helps repair and prevent future damage to the skin by the sun and pollutants in the environment like smoke For the first two or three nights my sensitive skin did experience some tingling but it was quickly replaced with a healthy glow and improved clarity For me improved clarity meant those little red spots that hang around even after a pimple is gone were actually diminished After just two weeks my skin has a more even tone and feels smoother For Formula C and other great Avon products visit Avon online Next week our vitamin cream series will feature Lancome s new Vitabolic Deep Radiance Booster with vitamin C ginseng and ginkgo If you like a truly flawless looking face Lancome s new Palette Pro Complexion Perfecting Kit 20 00 is the ultimate toolbox Any makeup artist worth her or his salt knows how to disguise facial flaws using color theory and now you can too The Palette Pro includes a regular skintone concealer in light medium or dark and three color correcting concealers yellow to camouflage blue undereye circles and veins mint green to neutralize red patches and broken capillaries and mauve to counteract sallow skin You won t look a clown in these unusual pastels if you apply them correctly Choose the appropriate color for the area you are covering Using a small makeup brush or the tip of your finger gently pat a thin layer of the color corrector onto the area with small gentle taps Your mission is to hide not to blend Use your finger to very gently pat on a layer of the skintone concealer Carefully blend out the edges so you don t see the color corrector With practice color correcting concealers are a great tool for stubborn areas that ordinary concealers won t cover Not sure if you can master color correcting concealers At a very reasonable price you can try your hand with Prestige s new Correctives Complexion Equalizer line of skin tone correctors available in sunflower mint and violet around 4 each at drugstores Although they are in stick form apply them the same way you would a creamy version with a small makeup brush or your finger For a smooth radiant finish in one step consider Estee Lauder Lucidity light diffusing makeup with SPF 8 27 50 It doesn t really diffuse light but it does create a soft even finish If you like a medium coverage foundation that still looks and feels natural Lucidity is a nice choice On a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being my current favorite foundation Bobbi Brown s Foundation Stick in Warm Ivory

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT January 21 2000 Before I get started with some new goodies this week I wanted to address a question many of you have been emailing me I frequently make mention of comedogenic ingredients in my reviews so I wanted to share with you the list that I use to check if an ingredient is acne causing I use this list to evaluate all the products I use on myself and it s been a great help to me in controlling my hormonal acne List of Comedogenic Ingredients http www zerozits com article6 shtml inglist Now on to this week s issue Demeter Pick Me Up Cologne Spray 12 50 If you shy away from traditional perfume like I do but still want to wear a unique fragrance once in a while Demeter is a line to consider During a recent shopping trip online I couldn t resist trying Tomato cologne spray I could just see myself explaining to someone asking What s that fragrance you re wearing Oh I m wearing Tomato Demeter s Tomato smells more like the vine and less like the fruit with an earthy garden sort of smell I also picked up Snow but to me it smells more like wet grass with a hint of honeydew melon I suppose everyone s take on what snow smells like is a little different but I was hoping for something more like crisp snowy winter air I think I ll stick with Tomato for now and maybe give Cucumber or Scottish Shortbread a try next time You can find a wide variety of unique Demeter fragrances like Orange Juice Dirt Mint Julep Holy Water and Pruning Shears at eve com beautyjungle com and gloss com In addition to the cologne sprays Demeter also makes Attitude Adjustment body lotions and Foaming Bath Gels Tony Tina Multi Purpose Face Colors 9 each With so many cream blush and eye lip cheek cream color options it s nice to see each new one be a little different from the rest These cream colors from Tony Tina are designed to fit into a refillable mirrored compact 10 holds 6 colors and two mini brushes making them portable and easy to mix and match The creams are lightweight and feel almost powdery when they set on the skin which works well on cheeks and lids and feel like a stain for lips I recommend applying the colors with your fingers as the enclosed brushes are small too thick and rather scratchy I like the idea of this compact and many of the colors like Bliss pale pink Happy rose and Joy raspberry are very pretty but I just don t think I would use them very much While 9 for each color seems reasonable to me if you buy the compact and all 6 colors to fill it you re quickly up to 64 rather spendy to use only on occasion Now that I have mine I ll make an effort to use it but I wouldn t spend for it again You can learn more about Tony Tina or shop online at tonytina com Oil of Olay All Day Moisture Stick Foundation 11 25 When a friend told me recently that she tried this new foundation from Oil of Olay and loved it comparing it to Vincent Longo Water Canvas no less I knew I had to try it I had high hopes for a lightweight makeup that would look more like real skin than makeup but this can t replace Water Canvas for me For starters Moisture Stick is very very sheer to the point where it made me wonder why I was putting anything on at all The only upside is that it does dry down to a nice finish that kept my skin hydrated and natural looking all day something I can t say about any other stick foundation I ve used on my winter dry skin I just wish the coverage was better I could have lived with sheer coverage and just used a concealer but I won t live with the pimples I got from Moisture Stick after wearing it for just three days My most prone area my chin already red from past blemishes was Breakout Central where I layered on Moisture Stick trying to get extra coverage A quick glance at the ingredient list revealed carrageenan seaweed which can cause acne for some people Apparently I am one of those people This is not a concern for everyone so if you are acne prone and this foundation sounds appealing to you make sure you purchase it from a store that takes returns just in case The best quality of Moisture Stick is the cool feeling on the skin when you put it on It is so cool and wet it s almost spongy It dries quickly so I recommend drawing a few swipes on one area of your face like a cheek blending it completely then repeating that all over your face If you apply it all over your face and then try to blend you may be stuck with makeup that won t budge Moisture Stick is designed for normal to dry skin and comes in ten wearable colors from the lightest Fair Honey the color I got to the deepest Dark Honey You should be able to find it in stores now SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT January 16 1998 I love to keep up on new products so this week s report is full of fun finds that deserve a spot in your bathroom or on your vanity Always the innovator Avon is continuously coming out with new and useful products that really work and don t cost a fortune One of my favorites from their newest releases is Anew Instant Eye Smoother 16 00 a silky eye cream that makes the eye area appear smoother instantly How does it work Silicone based ingredients like cyclomethicone and silica create a thin film finish on the skin that holds moisture in and temporarily makes the area look smoother With everyday use Anew Instant Eye Smoother keeps the eye area moisturized and looking fresh Another incredible find from Avon is their brand new re formulated Perfect Wear lipstick now called Perfect Wear Double Performance 6 95 introductory price 3 95 Double Performance is the latest Avon technology in transfer resistant lipsticks What makes this one different It actually feels smooth and moisturizing not dry and crumbly It actually stays on The best part You get more of it unlike most transfer resistant lipsticks this one is full sized like a regular lipstick With 20 versatile long wearing colors to choose from it s time to call your Avon rep or visit Avon online for a tube Would you call owning almost 40 tubes of lipstick an obsession I would and I m guilty of it I love lipstick and I am always adding to my ever growing collection of everything from classic red to neutral brown The newest member of my lipcolor family is nine one one from BeneFit 18 00 call 1 800 781 2336 for a catalog or locations Although BeneFit sells nine one one as an all over all in one shade it works best on lips great on cheeks but a definite no no on eyes unless you want that I ve been crying all night look Just a dab or two of this medium cinnamon mauve brown shade on lips looks fresh pouty but not overly made up Use the enclosed sponge to blend a few dabs on your cheekbones for an instant pick me up I don t leave the house without it It comes as no surprise to most of you that I have a thing about my hair This week it was crying out for a deep conditioning treatment for its thirsty ends and all over dryness Alberto VO5 Hot Oil Shower Works hair treatment around 5 at drugstores jumped out at me at my local drugstore so I decided to give it a try Shower Works is different from regular VO5 the heat of the shower makes it work so you don t have to heat the oil yourself One bottle contains four pre measured treatments so it s easy to use The one drawback for seriously dry hair Shower Works doesn t quite cut it leaving you reaching for your regular conditioner For normal hair in place of a weekly cream deep conditioner Shower Works is a fine choice for an occasional moisture boost The Makeup Diva is In You know about foundation concealer and powder but what s the best way to apply everything so you still look like

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT January 15 1999 As a new mom one of my favorite ways to shop now is online or through catalogs It s easier than loading all the baby stuff into the car and I can have everything delivered right to my house What could be better Of the catalogs I ve shopped from the Bliss Out catalog from Bliss Spa in New York City is by far my favorite For a cosmetic junkie like me it s a dream come true selection of some of the most coveted brands around like Remede Tony Tina Molton Brown and Astara It s all I can do to not spend hundreds of dollars with each new catalog I ve had my eye on Astara Conscious Skin Care for quite a while Their small collection of botanical products includes a lightweight gel cleanser superfine facial scrub several antioxidant moisturizers and two masks that I couldn t resist during my last Bliss stock up Blue Flame Purification and Violet Flame Enzyme If you have breakout prone skin Blue Flame 26 for a 2 2 ounce jar is a great once a week clay mask Made with lemongrass rosemary aloe vera gel and tea tree oil this mask is supposed to eliminate bacteria to hopefully help keep pimples at bay It also smooths the skin with a light scrubbing action Whether it really reduces bacteria is anybody s guess but I like how fresh and smooth my skin looks after using Blue Flame and it does a great job of drawing the oil out from any pimples you currently have It s a little spendy but a nice treat if you do at home facials frequently Sensitive skin beware the Violet Flame mask 29 for a 2 2 ounce jar is strong stuff Two kinds of clay combined with extracts of rosemary comfrey ginseng and chamomile plus papaya and pineapple enzymes make your skin feel like it s being vacuumed It doesn t work miracles but if your skin looks dull and feels in need of renewal this mask is nice to add to your at home spa experience In light of our new feature for January on lip gloss see below I couldn t resist trying a few new ones myself Bloom Aromatherapy Lip Gloss from Australia was an easy choice The conditioning color rich formula comes in 6 shades pucker pout pash smirk smack and smooch I chose pucker a sultry burgundy brown and pout a light brownish pink Bloom gloss has that great sticky quality that makes it stick around no pun intended for longer than one cup of coffee They even taste good from a blend of mandarin and vanilla essential oils Yum For more information on these and other products from hard to find lines Bliss Spa is located online at http www blissworld com by phone at 1 888 243 8825 or in New York

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT January 14 2000 Whenever I travel even if it s just for a short time I always end up buying beauty related items before during and after my trip Here are a few things I picked up recently PRE TRAVEL Packing the Toiletry Kit Bloom Pamper Pack for Hair 10 I have to be the worst when it comes to packing my toiletries for traveling I always bring full size bottles of everything I practically need a whole suitcase just for my makeup skin care hair dryer etc This time I thought I would try to lighten the load by bringing these travel sizes of Bloom s Rosemary Lemon Shampoo and Orange Ylang Ylang Conditioner The Pamper Pack comes with two sachets of each as well as the Orange Ylang Ylang Hair Treatment which I haven t tried yet The Rosemary Lemon shampoo has a spicy lemon scent and rich lather My hair can be rather dry but this shampoo didn t leave me tugging at a head full of knots I also liked the Orange Ylang Ylang conditioner although the consistency is a bit thinner than I usually prefer For those of you who remember what cream rinse is this is more like a cream rinse It worked well on my dry hair and has a spicy orange scent Each product sachet was one use for me I think if you have short hair or don t mind being sparing you could probably get two uses from each sachet My only gripe with the Pamper Packs is that it doesn t seem that you can buy these products in a larger size Bloom offers a completely different selection of haircare on their site bloom net au so if you like these Pamper Pack products I suppose you have to keep buying the tiny packets I would consider buying these products again if they had regular bottles for purchase In addition to the Bloom information site you can also find Bloom online at gloss com indulge com beautyjungle com beautycafe com and sephora com Pupa Artist Box Makeup Kit 33 I recently got a 5 off gift certificate to eve com so after poking around the site for a while I decided to try this makeup kit from Pupa It comes in a cute red box with a swing out tray of four eye shadows and a shadow base a face bronzer two blushes cream makeup and a tube of mascara in the main compartment and a pull out drawer in the bottom with cream concealer two lipsticks and a lipgloss It also has two sponge applicators a foundation sponge and a lipbrush At first sight this is a great idea everything you need in one handy box which is why I bought it for travel Unfortunately I was so disappointed with it I ended up returning it as soon as I got home The cream foundation concealer blush and bronzer are all comedogenic meaning they have ingredients that can cause acne and the eye shadows are streaky and in rather unflattering colors All of the colors are a bit outdated in my opinion There is an orange eye shadow brownish peach blush and orange lipstick all of which looked ridiculous on me The foundation and concealer shades are a murky medium beige that were too dark for me I found it strange that this kit does not come in other combinations like one with warm colors one with cool colors one for light skintones one for dark skintones It s just one set that I guess they think is supposed to work for the average woman The packaging is cute but they really need something better inside ON THE ROAD Peter Thomas Roth Environmental Repair Hydrating Gel 35 While the rain sometimes bothers me here in Oregon the one nice thing about it is that my skin stays fairly hydrated All it took was four days in Las Vegas to turn my face into the flakiest most irritated mess you have ever seen I practically ran to Sephora looking for some relief This lightweight gel with whole leaf aloe vera one of Peter Thomas Roth s most commonly used ingredients was calling my name Just a few pumps applied thickly to the driest areas of my face made all the difference in the world the flakiness and redness disappeared overnight I layered this gel under my regular moisturizer and sunscreen but you could easily use it alone on dry areas or all over your face if you like a lighter feeling product I love this gel because it works but it s not sticky gooey oily or greasy You can also find PTR products at eve com drugstore com gloss com and sephora com Stila Cover Up Stick 17 in a While at Sephora I also discovered this new concealer from Stila I am not positive but it seems to have replaced their Face Concealer the one in the little jar This stick looks more like a lipstick packaged in a thin silver swivel up case It comes in the same lettered colors a b c d etc and has a nice matte texture The only problem is that it contains isopropyl palmitate which can lead to pimples in acne prone skin I had no problems using it to cover undereye circles but at the end of the day after using it to cover a pimple the pimple had gotten noticeably worse I like the texture and the fact that it doesn t crease or fade under my eyes so I think I ll add it to my concealer for under eyes only collection RETURNING HOME Deep Steep Citrus Moisturizing Liquid Cleanser 10 for 4 ounces Don t you find that you often need a vacation from your vacation I was so tired after traveling with my one year old that all I wanted to do when I got home was take a shower and go to bed Luckily I had some forethought and had already ordered these Deep Steep products from gloss com This liquid body cleanser is all natural full of essential oils sweet orange mandarin geranium ylang ylang and can even be used as shampoo It is a delicious sweet orange scent and delivers an impressive amount of lather with just one squirt on a puff or washcloth I would definitely buy this again I just wish it came in a larger size Deep Steep Citrus Moisturizing After Bath Lotion 10 for 4 ounces I only wear body lotion occasionally but this one sounded so yummy especially to put on after the citrus cleanser so I decided to splurge This lotion has the same essential oils as the cleanser as well as cocoa butter aloe vera and vitamins A E and D The scent is subtler so you won t bowl anyone over smelling like a huge orange The lotion texture is light and cool absorbing quickly with no greasiness This is definitely one to try Deep Steep products are available at gloss com and beauty com in citrus eucalyptus lavender and rose They also have an herbal tea bath that I m hoping to try next SHOP Get what

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT January 10 2000 After a short break for a trip to Las Vegas I am back and pleased to bring you my full review of Cargo cosmetics as well as the winner of our recent Supersmile trivia contest The lucky winner of a year s supply of Supersmile is Ashley R from Tacoma Washington She was the first person to correctly answer the question Name the three 3 boutique beauty brands acquired in 1999 by the luxury goods company Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton The answer I was looking for was Bliss Spa Hard Candy and BeneFit all acquired in 1999 by Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton LVMH For those of you who included Make Up For Ever in your answer it was also correct in case you were wondering Ashley responded lightning fast to our question sending me the correct answer just minutes after the newsletter went out You ve got to be fast to be first around here Congratulations Ashley and good luck to everyone else for next time Cargo was created with makeup artists with their needs in mind natural undertones that flatter any skintone sheer and blendable colors and simple packaging with a generous amount of product Cargo cosmetics have been used in film and television and is quickly becoming a new favorite in Hollywood Personally I could care less what a celebrity is wearing I want to know if it will look good on me After trying a variety of Cargo s products I can see why women are drawn to it The first thing I noticed about the line is the packaging Simple silver metal tins and silver colored plastic compacts are minimalist but wait until you take the lid off of a Cargo lipgloss or blush Compared to just about every other brand I ve tried the amount of product you get here is huge You have to see these to believe it They don t call them jumbo tins for nothing Liquid Foundation 22 in Pluto If you have normal to oily skin and are not particularly prone to breakouts this is a nice oil free choice with sheer to medium coverage It comes in 10 natural looking shades named for planets and constellations like Saturn and Big Dipper I really wanted to love this foundation especially considering that the Pluto color worked well for me but I found it to be bit too oil controlling for my normal to dry skin It also contains polyglyceryl 3 diisostearate and triethanolamine comedogenic ingredients that make my breakout prone skin less than happy Wet Dry Powder Foundation 22 in Pluto Wet Dry comes in the same colors as the Liquid Foundation and is also best for normal to oily skin that is not acne prone It also contains several comedogenic ingredients stearic acid myristyl myristate and triethanolamine If this is not a concern for you Wet Dry is a nice choice in powder foundations The texture is light the coverage is sheer and the finish is matte I found it worked best dry applied with the enclosed sponge or with a powder brush rather than applied wet I also like the compact which is fairly small and houses the sponge in a lower compartment so it s not stewing in the powder Again I wanted to love this foundation but it s just not the right fit for my skin Loose Powder 22 in shade 2 I did have excellent luck with this powder and thankfully it has no comedogenic ingredients It has a light silky texture and has a demi matte finish that I like It makes the skin look natural not overly powdery The color selection is decent the 2 shade I have is a pale yellow similar to Bobbi Brown Pale Yellow or T LeClerc Banane Pressed Powder 22 in shade 2 The pressed powder is almost identical to the loose powder only more portable The colors are the same and the compact is similar to the Wet Dry compact with the powder in the main section and the puff housed in a compartment underneath Eyeshadow 14 in Windsor Cocoa Beach and Tuscany Cargo s philosophy about basic wearable colors comes through loud and clear with their natural looking eyeshadows They have a decent amount of pigment so they last but the colors are blendable and flattering on any skintone Windsor is a basic beige Cocoa Beach is a deep chocolate brown and Tuscany is a medium camel brown You can also choose from colors like Chile Green Bay Bordeaux Soho and Yucatan Mascara 15 in Black This mascara was the only thing in the line that really did nothing for me It was clumpy and made my lashes look spiky Blush 19 in Tonga As I mentioned in my intro Cargo packages its blush in a large metal tin that is perfect for the proper size blush brush It s also a fantastic value when you find a color you love since you won t have to buy a new one for a very long time Tonga is a medium salmon rose color that would natural on both warm and cool skin tones The powder has a light texture and although the colors are sheer a little does go a long way so be careful not to pick up too much color on your brush at once Lipstick 15 in Ottawa and Dalkeith These lipsticks have a nice creamy feel and decent staying power I think next time I would choose different colors though Ottawa is a warm orange red I look better in cool colors and Dalkeith while a beautiful color is a basic brownish pink that I must have in a dozen other brands Next time I would try Nevis Congo or Bombay Lip Gloss 15 in Bora Bora and Flin Flon Like the blush Cargo s lipglosses also come in very generous tins and you get two colors per tin Bora Bora has a light rose shade on one side and a darker medium berry on the other You can wear each alone you can mix them or layer them over your favorite lipstick or lipliner to create the look you want The texture is creamy but not goopy or sticky and the level of shine is just right not too flat but not overly glassy Flin Flon has a sheer pearly gold on one side and a sheer silver on the other Alone they give a little boost of shine to your normal lipcolor over a favorite lipstick it gives it shine and a bit of shimmer Eye Pencil 13 in Wood This is the first eye pencil EVER that I have been able to use to line my lower lid Every other color I ve tried looks terrible like I got punched so I always just line the upper lid Not only is the texture of this pencil smooth and easy to apply but the light brown color wood gives my blue eyes just the right level of definition without looking harsh or raccoon ish It also comes in brown and black I also tried a few brushes and tools from Cargo including the very reasonably priced and fantastic Application Sponge 5 which beats those wimpy drugstore latex triangles by a mile Of Cargo s brushes the most notable are the Dome Blush 68 Mini Crease 28 and Jumbo Fluff 28 All are very soft and give you professional looking results My only complaint is with the Dome Blush while it s luxuriously soft and makes applying blush a breeze every time I used it at least half a dozen hairs fell out This should not happen with a brush of this price and quality You can find Cargo products online at eve com beauty com and sephora com If you prefer to shop in a regular store gasp Barneys in New York City Seattle Boston Chicago and Beverly Hills carries the line as well as Sephora in San Francisco San Diego New York City and Northbrook Illinois If you happen to be in Canada Cargo a Canadian company by the way is available at The Bay in Toronto and The Sarum Room in Unionville SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT January 9 1998 For all the great products I try there are always a few that just don t live up to their claims or that are just plain duds Consider this week s report your don t buy guide After a fairly successful test of Mary Kay s basic skin care products I decided to see what their Skin Revival System serum and cream together 40 was all about MK claims the serum together with the separate cream oil free or regular deliver alpha hydroxy acid AHA benefits more effectively and with less irritation than a single AHA product This is simply not true and there is no reason to use multiple AHA products at once it can actually irritate your skin more The Skin Revival Serum step one is mostly water and SD alcohol drying to the skin with about 4 to 5 AHAs in the form of lactic and salicylic acids and a touch of green tea extract for good measure there isn t enough to really soothe the skin though AHA serums are a great idea but not when they are mostly alcohol After the serum comes either the regular or oil free version of the Skin Revival Cream which contains a tiny amount of AHAs lactic acid in a basic moisturizing base Many of the potentially beneficial ingredients like allantoin panthenol kola nut extract and algae extract are just too far down on the list to actually give any benefits For real AHA results there are plenty of products on the market that really work for a lot less money like Avon Anew Alpha Hydrox Neutrogena Healthy Skin and Pond s Age Defying Complex Disappointment number two this week was Rusk s Str8 pronounced straight anti frizz anti curl lotion around 10 at salons Not only is it not very effective at controlling frizz or smoothing curl but it leaves the hair sticky and unmanageable It doesn t condition at all like many lotion styling aids do and it doesn t protect at all against humidity Strike Two I have never been a fan of the Revlon ColorStay line of products The foundation is too heavy for a natural look and the lipstick even after an overhaul is still dry and crumbly I was hopeful but skeptical when I discovered the new ColorStay Lite Makeup 10 at my local drugstore Like the original ColorStay makeup the Lite version doesn t rub off and is relatively oil free With a truly lightweight feel fairly sheer finish and SPF12 sunscreen I was actually starting to like this new makeup until it made my cheeks breakout in dozens of tiny pimples and blackheads This new makeup does have promise breakouts like mine aren t all that common so if you like the long wearing benefits be sure to buy ColorStay Lite at a store that accepts returns in case you don t like it That s where mine is going Revlon has also introduced a new ColorStay LipTint lipcolor 8 as a more sheer version of the original lipcolor No matter how many times Revlon reformulates this lipstick I still find the texture too dry and crumbly to actually be comfortable Revlon touts the LipTint as almost a lipbalm type product with vitamin E and aloe to help soften smooth and protect but it couldn t be further from lipbalm If you don t mind the feel of transfer resistant lipstick LipTint does come in some nice colors like Petal Toffee Jelly Rosewood and Mica The Makeup Diva is In Experimenting with your hair color can be fun and it can be a disaster Our resident Makeup Diva dabbles in hair color advice with

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT January 8 1999 I hope this past holiday season was enjoyable and fulfilling for you all Did you get all the cosmetic goodies you wanted Here s hoping 1999 brings us exciting new products perky new colors and solutions to all of our beauty challenges This week we ve got a great article on concealer advice for women over 40 from our Panelist Brita When it comes to undereye concealers it really doesn t matter what you use no brand is perfect Here are my tips to making the most of the concealer you choose First try to repair any damage in the eye area with a glycolic cream Keep this area well moisturized You re never going to cover the area totally Fifty percent improvement is realistic concealer is half the story You also have to play up your lashes and brows so this area is less prominent Whatever concealer you use less is better than more Also how and where you apply it is very important Dot it on with a brush cotton swab or sponge applicator then blend very gently with a sponge I like a two step process to cover the discoloration with a mauve correcting concealer then blend a flesh tone over it I also like to warm up the color on my hand then apply it with a brush Don t put concealer on the entire undereye area it will crease Concentrate on the area next to the nose above and below the eye If undereye bags are really prominent gently ice this area before applying makeup While I ve found that most brands are relatively the same here are a few that I ve had particular success with Trish McEvoy is good for a high end brand Revlon for a low end The Body shop wand concealer is good for touch ups The mauve undercoat I use is a Joe Blasco stage product I ve found it makes all the difference The basic difference in brands is in tones most of the cheaper ones are too pink and thickness However if you warm them up before using them the consistency is pretty much the same If you have questions or comments for Brita about concealers you can reach her from our Panelist Profile page Since having my baby last month I m not able to take as much time for beauty as I did before With just a few minutes if I m lucky to freshen up every day I ve come to really appreciate products and tools that make getting beautiful easier As most of you know the key to flawless professional looking makeup application is in the tools Your favorite Cover Girl lipstick can look just as swanky and rich as a high priced Chanel shade if it is applied well with a great lipbrush So who makes a great selection of brushes I ve always like MAC and Stila the best for shape and durability but I ve recently discovered a new line to add to my list of favorites Profaces Professional Brush Kit 110 Designed by Profaces makeup artists to their exact size and shape specifications these high quality brushes come in a roll up leather pouch that makes carrying and protecting your set easy Here s what you get and what the brushes are made of Blush Bai Jiang Feng Goat Hair Large Fluff Fine Squirrel Mix Large Contour Sable Substitute mall Contour Sable Substitute Large Sponge Applicator Eyeliner 100 Sable Flocked Lip Sable Substitute

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT January 2 1998 I d like to take a moment to thank all of you the thousands of Cosmetic Report and Cosmetic Connection readers for making Cosmetic Connection such a fun service to offer Here s wishing you a peaceful and rewarding 1998 If one of your New Year s Resolutions is to take better care of your skin the new Age Block Daytime Defense Cream SPF15 12 50 with avobenzone also called Parsol 1789 from Avon is a great new product find Parsol 1789 is the only sunscreen ingredient that effectively protects your skin from both UVA and UVB sun rays UVA rays actually penetrate deeper into your skin than UVB rays creating skin damage like sun induced wrinkles brown spots sagging and uneven skin tone Age Block is a lightweight cream that absorbs quickly and leaves your skin lightly moisturized making it great for most skin types super oily skin may like a gel sunscreen better For more information about Avon and Age Block visit Avon online Have you ever bought an expensive cosmetic product on a whim just to see what it was like After reading several mentions of Vincent Longo s Water Canvas cream to powder foundation in a few women s magazine I just couldn t resist trying it Since there are no Vincent Longo counters near me I called their toll free number 1 800 V2 LONGO and ordered shade 2 very similar to Prescriptives Warm Cream for a whopping 70 45 for the foundation 15 for the compact and a flat 10 for shipping You almost have to spend this much because the foundation will actually evaporate without the special airtight compact Unlike most cream to powder foundations Water Canvas is 85 water making it very lightweight on the skin I can t believe I spent as much as I did for it but I really do like it Even on my dry skin as long as I moisturize well it looks smooth and natural Longo tries to sell you a foundation primer gel to go under the foundation for an extra 45 but you really don t need it If you have been searching unsuccessfully for a lightweight no makeup foundation Water Canvas just might be the answer if you can afford the splurge Being the non stop reviewer that I am I m always on the lookout for new interesting and truly effective products to further clutter my bathroom I recently tried Kiehl s Protein Concentrate Herbal Shampoo for dry to normal hair 11 95 for 8 ounces and their Extra Strength Conditioning Rinse 15 95 for 8 ounces to see if my dry hair could be improved While the shampoo is nice and concentrated so you only need a little it s fairly basic and didn t do much to help my dryness It s a great everyday shampoo for any hair type just don t count on it to do more than clean your hair My real relief came with the conditioning rinse Chock full of lecithin keratin panthenol and wheat germ oil it smooths and softens so your hair feels like hair again not straw For more information on Kiehl s products call 1 800 KIEHLS 1 The Makeup Diva is In Experimenting with

this week I wanted to address a question many of you have been emailing me I frequently make mention of comedogenic ingredients in my reviews so I wanted to share with you the list that I use to check if an ingredient is acne causing I use this list to evaluate all the products I use on myself and it s been a great help to me in controlling my hormonal acne List of Comedogenic Ingredients http www zerozits com article6 shtml inglist Now on to this week s issue Demeter Pick Me Up Cologne Spray 12 50 If you shy away from traditional perfume like I do but still want to wear a unique fragrance once in a while Demeter is a line to consider During a recent shopping trip online I couldn t resist trying Tomato cologne spray I could just see myself explaining to someone asking What s that fragrance you re wearing Oh I m wearing Tomato Demeter s Tomato smells more like the vine and less like the fruit with an earthy garden sort of smell I also picked up Snow but to me it smells more like wet grass with a hint of honeydew melon I suppose everyone s take on what snow smells like is a little different but I was hoping for something more like crisp snowy winter air I think I ll stick with Tomato for now and maybe give Cucumber or Scottish Shortbread a try next time You can find a wide variety of unique Demeter fragrances like Orange Juice Dirt Mint Julep Holy Water and Pruning Shears at eve com beautyjungle com and gloss com In addition to the cologne sprays Demeter also makes Attitude Adjustment body lotions and Foaming Bath Gels Tony Tina Multi Purpose Face Colors 9 each With so many cream blush and eye lip cheek cream color options it s nice to see each new one be a little different from the rest These cream colors from Tony Tina are designed to fit into a refillable mirrored compact 10 holds 6 colors and two mini brushes making them portable and easy to mix and match The creams are lightweight and feel almost powdery when they set on the skin which works well on cheeks and lids and feel like a stain for lips I recommend applying the colors with your fingers as the enclosed brushes are small too thick and rather scratchy I like the idea of this compact and many of the colors like Bliss pale pink Happy rose and Joy raspberry are very pretty but I just don t think I would use them very much While 9 for each color seems reasonable to me if you buy the compact and all 6 colors to fill it you re quickly up to 64 rather spendy to use only on occasion Now that I have mine I ll make an effort to use it but I wouldn t spend for it again You can learn more about Tony Tina or shop online at tonytina com Oil of Olay All Day Moisture Stick Foundation 11 25 When a friend told me recently that she tried this new foundation from Oil of Olay and loved it comparing it to Vincent Longo Water Canvas no less I knew I had to try it I had high hopes for a lightweight makeup that would look more like real skin than makeup but this can t replace Water Canvas for me For starters Moisture Stick is very very sheer to the point where it made me wonder why I was putting anything on at all The only upside is that it does dry down to a nice finish that kept my skin hydrated and natural looking all day something I can t say about any other stick foundation I ve used on my winter dry skin I just wish the coverage was better I could have lived with sheer coverage and just used a concealer but I won t live with the pimples I got from Moisture Stick after wearing it for just three days My most prone area my chin already red from past blemishes was Breakout Central where I layered on Moisture Stick trying to get extra coverage A quick glance at the ingredient list revealed carrageenan seaweed which can cause acne for some people Apparently I am one of those people This is not a concern for everyone so if you are acne prone and this foundation sounds appealing to you make sure you purchase it from a store that takes returns just in case The best quality of Moisture Stick is the cool feeling on the skin when you put it on It is so cool and wet it s almost spongy It dries quickly so I recommend drawing a few swipes on one area of your face like a cheek blending it completely then repeating that all over your face If you apply it all over your face and then try to blend you may be stuck with makeup that won t budge Moisture Stick is designed for normal to dry skin and comes in ten wearable colors from the lightest Fair Honey the color I got to the deepest Dark Honey You should be able to find it in stores now Heather Kleinman s

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT September 26 1997 Welcome to the Cosmetic Report Drugstore Extravaganza This week I ventured into the aisles of my local drugstores and supermarkets for Part One of our new drugstore series From lipstick and eye shadow to concealer and powder this series will be your ultimate drugstore shopping companion As a bargain shopper and deal finder by nature I always love finding drugstore alternatives that work as well or better than department store brands for a lot less money Tired of spending 25 30 and even 50 on eye creams that are supposed to firm unwrinkle depuff and otherwise perform the impossible on my eyes I decided to try L Oreal s Revitalift Eye around 10 in hopes of saving some money The most important thing to remember with eye creams is that their primary function is to moisturize That s it Vitamins like A and C may help reduce the appearance of fine lines and sun damage meaning the moisturizers will plump up the lines to make them look less pronounced but nothing except daily sunscreen is going to keep those lines and wrinkles from forming L Oreal s Revitalift Eye does a great job of moisturizing the eye area without feeling greasy or heavy It absorbs quickly and completely so you don t have to wait 15 30 minutes before you can apply your makeup if you apply eye makeup to an over moisturized eye the makeup will slide right off This product is a great find that easily compares in quality to the more expensive brands like Clinique Bobbi Brown and Lancome all without the sticker shock While combing the skin care aisles at Drug Emporium and Thrifty Payless drugstores I discovered the Freeman Beautiful Skin line and decided my face could use a good peel off mask I chose Freeman s Sugar Cane Guava AHA peel off mask 2 89 for a special 7 5 ounce size for my normal to dry sometimes combination skin If you are looking for a soothing and refreshing treatment for your face this is it I loved the fresh fruity fragrance and cooling feel Unlike clay masks that can dry the skin this one exfoliates gently and leaves your skin feeling soft and looking healthy Learn more about Freeman products at their website at http www freemancosmetics com I didn t have quite a much luck with lipsticks I set out to find a nice neutral shade and ended up with pink at every turn I narrowed down my choices to Cover Girl s Continuous Color Self Renewing lipstick and began the search for a good color I thought I couldn t go wrong with Almost Nude in the neutral color group until I got it home It was the most awful shade of ultra frosty bubble gum pink I ve ever seen Thankfully most drugstores understand how this can happen so I returned it for what I hoped would be a better shade On the second go around I selected Mocha from the cool color group but I ended up with an awful shade of pink again Mocha is not even remotely brown and the texture of this formula is extremely greasy Yuck What is Cover Girl thinking Ask anyone who knows me I am extremely picky when it comes to perfume All the brands everyone else loves smell too powdery too musky too floral or just too heavy to me The one perfume I do like I have to mail order from a tiny parfumerie in Louisiana When I decided to try a Body Splash 10 for 7 8 ounce spray from Bath Body Works as part of our bath product series I was skeptical that I could find a scent I would actually like After smelling everything from raspberry to juniper I finally found one that suited me Fresh Lilac I love the light aroma and ease of the spray just a few spritzes after a shower or bath lightly moisturizes your skin and the fragrance stays with you all day without being overpowering There s sure to be a scent that s right for you Continuing with our series on bath products this week I treated myself to two new fragrances at Garden Botanika that are perfect for a little pampering heavenly heather love the name and cool cucumber Whether you like body lotion bubble bath or a cooling body mist you ll love these fresh and light scents The heavenly heather body mist is a personal favorite For a Garden Botanika catalog or list of locations call 1 800 968 7842

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT September 19 1997 Almost all the new fall makeup colors are out and in many areas of the world cool winds and colorful autumn leaves are only a few weeks away Right now is the perfect time to start thinking about your skin care needs for the changing weather Cold air outside dry heat inside and environmental stress from rain and wind can make even the oiliest skin suddenly get dry and flaky One of my favorite ways to try new skin care products is from samples or trial size kits so you can use the products for a few days to see what you think before making the financial investment This week I began my search for fall winter skin care at Bath Body Works with their new line simply named Face For 3 I got a great little kit with 1 2 days worth of cleanser toner day cream and night cream for my skin type plus a 3 coupon towards the purchase of full size products from 8 for 6 ounce cleanser to 15 for 1 7 ounce night cream Since the range of basic products is small product crossover from kit to kit was common both the toner and the night cream in the kit I got for dry skin was the same as in the kit for normal combination skin I liked all but the creamy cleanser it did a terrible job of removing even the light foundation I was wearing never mind any eye makeup I would hope the foaming face wash and cooling gel cleanser would do a better job The line also includes a jojoba bead scrub deep cleansing clay mask and AHA lotion with SPF 8 for all skin types If you like basic no frills skin care products this new line from Bath Body Works is worth a look I ve had a great time following the release of all the cosmetic lines new fall colors and this week I discovered a fun mini line worth checking out From clothing designer Tommy Hilfiger comes Tommy Girl cosmetics a collection of 6 easy to wear shades for lips and nails in sheer neutrals like cinnamon girl sugar sugar coco loco jamm n chili pepper and ruby tuesday The lip color 12 is sheer creamy and great for a light daytime or weekend look with great looking polishes 12 to match Distribution of this line is limited and when these colors are gone that s it Tommy plans to introduce all new colors 5 to 6 times a year Talk about trendy With summer just about over many of us are back from vacation the kids are back in school and life starts to get a little more hectic There s nothing I like better after a tough day than a warm bath Add a few scented candles and some soft music and I m in heaven I recently discovered some great aromatherapy products from Bath Body Works for the perfect bathtime experience Much like the Face skin care kit mentioned above the Stress Relief aromatherapy products are available in a fun to try mini kit For 3 50 you get single use sizes of mineral bath salts heavenly bath and shower gel with essential oil beads body lotion also with essential oil beads and massage lotion Not only do the products smell great fresh and light not overly perfumy but they really give relief to sore aching muscles For the headaches and sore neck and shoulder muscles that can come with everyday stress check out pressure point aromatherapy oils and lotions like H2O Aromaplus Stress Relief Formula The combination of calendula rosemary and peppermint oils massaged into temples neck and shoulders will make you feel refreshed and alert again The

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT September 12 1997 As I m sure you can imagine I spend a fair amount of time at makeup counters drugstores and beauty supply stores tracking down the newest coolest and next must have products Sometimes I m looking for something specific and sometimes I m just plain looking This week my mission was to find real solutions to common beauty problems like peeling nails gloppy mascara and unmanageable skin If you were blessed with perfect nails lucky you For the rest of us dry brittle peeling and breaking nails are one of those nagging beauty problems that never seems to go away For me everyday activities like computer work and household chores make my nails split and peel On a recent visit to a local beauty supply store I spotted Poshe 4 in 1 treatment base for nails around 14 1 888 POSHE 4 U and decided to give it a try While most nail treatments only work if you apply them faithfully every night for weeks on end you can apply this one every few days or once a week if you like I found it works better under polish or at least under a topcoat by itself it wore off too quickly on the tips of my nails where I need the protection the most After cutting my nails a bit shorter to remove any seriously peeling areas and using Poshe for two weeks under my regular polish my nails are stronger and haven t started peeling at all If you have peeling splitting dry or weak nails give Poshe 4 in 1 a try for a few weeks for a real difference If ever there was an endless search for a cosmetic product it is foundation With so many brands formulas and colors to choose from you d think it would be foolproof by now right This week I actually found a brand to seriously consider Revlon Professional Sold at Sally Beauty Supply stores this line includes a fabulous liquid foundation 8 99 that easily rivals any other brand I ve tried No kidding I was skeptical when I read for all skin types on the bottle but the claims really are true it is long wearing has adjustable natural looking coverage and a smooth and even application on any skin type With a complete range of a dozen or so colors from fair ivory to deep chocolate and an incredible under 10 price tag you won t want to pass this up For those of you who love Bobbi Brown s lip gloss you ll find Revlon Professional lip gloss 4 99 is just as emollient and just as long lasting for about 1 3 the price The brush applicator is practically identical to Bobbi Brown s and with great colors like brownie fig and pink pout why spend 18 for one Bobbi when you can have three Revlon Professional Another must have Another on going search is for the perfect skin care products Most of the skin care questions I get from readers like you asks How do I get rid of pimples and keep them from coming back Or my personal favorite because I can really identify with it Why I am I getting pimples at my age I thought this was supposed to stop While no one skin care system works for every face Garden Botanika s new Skin Correcting line might just be the solution you ve been looking for The collection includes Deep Cleansing Face Wash 10 for 8 ounces Cleansing Bar if you like a bar cleanser 4 Purifying Toning Lotion 10 for 8 ounces Corrective Blemish Treatment gel 7 50 for 5 ounce Essential Moisture Lotion oil free 10 50 for 1 7 ounces and Activated Charcoal Mask 10 for 3 4 ounce tube The main active ingredient in most of the products salicylic acid together with botanicals like tea tree bilberry willow bark grape seed and passionflower extracts act to keep the skin free of the bacteria that cause blemishes in the first place I had my doubts about Garden Botanika s claim that any skin type can use this line but even my normal to dry only slightly acne prone skin has responded well to it The face wash does lather but it is not drying at all The alcohol free toner is also non drying and has mild salicylic acid that penetrates your pores to prevent oil and dead cell buildup that can start pimples The moisture lotion is lightweight which is nice for oily skin if you have drier skin just use two pumps of lotion instead of one to get the moisture your skin needs For all over oily or broken out skin the charcoal mask really helps by drawing out excess oil if you have dry skin use it only on oily or blemished areas of your face I use it in the T zone For spot treatment the blemish gel works overnight or under makeup to reduce blemishes and keep them from coming back For Garden Botanika locations or a catalog call 1 800 968 7842 My final excellent find this week was Maybelline Volum Express mascara 3 99 in Berry Brown a hot new color for fall It builds full lashes easily in one coat without clumping flaking or smearing For a great fall look this formula and color can t be beat I even tried Lancome s Definicils mascara 16 in their new fall color Porto only to find it looked exactly the same and wore just as well as Maybelline s Why pay more

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT September 5 1997 With cosmetic lines like Estee Lauder Lancome Stila and Bobbi Brown already coming out with new colors for fall many of you emailed me wondering what MAC would be showing this season Well your wait is over MAC Colour Experiment 98 is focusing on bright primary colors monochromatic makeup looks and no harsh lines Blend blend blend was the word from the Colour Experiment 98 seminar I attended at Nordstrom this week New looks included monochromatic eye and blush colors using the very same shade like new Rude as well as softer eyes and lips with no harsh liner The look for lips is a stain of color that is darker and more intense on the inside faded and soft on the edges For lips MAC has created five new shades for fall Rebel deep crimson purple Carnal deep intense red a bit lighter than Viva Glam Fluid plum brown frost similar to Raffia from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale nail kit Pivot matte intense pink red and Plush sheer orange coral For nails MAC introduces three new polishes to complement the new lipsticks Fluid Rebel and Carnal MAC s six new shadows exemplify the new look of bright colors Rule intense orange Scheme bright deep blue Stomp intense velvet purple Faze soft pink coral Limit matte mustard yellow and Riot deep teal moss green These colors are not for the lighthearted Check them out at a MAC counter near you It s 10 Challenge time again If you are new to this ultimate drugstore scavenger hunt here s how The 10 Challenge works take 10 into a drugstore and buy the coolest products you can find Simple Last week I introduced the product selection for our 4th installment now here are the results Pond s Prevent and Correct Cream trial size 1 99 Pond s joins a day cream with sun protection SPF 8 together with a night cream with alpha hydroxy acid 8 glycolic in one handy two compartment jar Both creams are lightweight and would work well for any skin type The daytime sun protection isn t the SPF 15 that I would recommend but it will do for very minimal exposure If you like simple skin care without a lot of separate products this Pond s 2 in 1 is a great deal Jane nail polish 2 69 Jane recently added nail polish to her extensive under 3 product line and it s great The color I chose electricity is a metallic mauve with gold shimmer that is gorgeous and classy With my Seche Vite topcoat a fantastic quick dry high gloss topcoat for ultimate wear and shine around 9 at salons and beauty supply stores this polish lasted 7 days without a chip Jane Staying Powder loose powder 2 69 While this powder created a soft matte finish that controlled shine for most of the day all of the colors even colorless were too dark for my fair skin If you have medium to dark skin and like a good oil control loose powder this one is for you It even comes with a handy puff Almay Amazing Lasting Eyecolor trial size 1 99 As far as cream eye shadows go this one from Almay is okay but not amazing and not incredibly lasting either I applied taupe in the morning and by 1 2pm it was barely noticeable If you have oily eye lids I imagine it would disappear even faster Thumbs down on this one I often get requests from readers for reviews of lines they ve tried or are thinking about trying This week I bring you a review of a few products from Hydron a line sold on QVC and on the Hydron web site Let me begin by saying that I liked these products very much For someone with dry dehydrated or flaky skin these products are fantastic Even for normal or slightly oily skin the moisturizers in Hydron s formulas is not greasy heavy or oily All of the products have a light fresh scent and should work well for most sensitive skin types Best Defense Gentle Cleansing Creme 16 50 for 6 ounce tube If you like a more creamy cleanser that takes off all makeup without separate removers this is a great one Morning or night your skin will feel fresh smooth and supple after using this cleanser Best Defense Facial Moisturizer for day SPF 15 29 00 for 2 ounces A great matte finish daytime moisturizer for normal slightly oily slightly dry or combination skin This is a little more than I would probably spend for a basic SPF lotion you can get a similar product from Basis at drugstores for under 8 One Stop Face Cream or Face The Day Lotion Best Defense Moisture Balance Restorative for night 36 00 for 2 ounces For seriously dry skin this cream really soothes and smooths without feeling greasy or oily If you need intense hydration this cream is a great choice On my quest for a good moisturizing conditioner for dry frizzy hair I stumbled on a great shampoo from the H2O Spa collection called Sea Marine Revitalizing Shampoo 12 for 8 ounces I love this stuff Not only do I like the fresh sea inspired fragrance but the aloe and silk proteins leave my hair completely tangle free and smooth This shampoo would be a great everyday choice for any hair type The Makeup Diva is In For

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT August 29 1997 Are you ready for fall It s just around the corner and those new makeup colors are calling The start of a new season is great time to get that makeup bag in order and add some great new shades This week I bring you Estee Lauder s new Upside Brown lipstick 15 This unusual name upside brown is for the lipstick concept as well as the color each lipstick has two colors in one tube that blend when applied but there is a trick to it The lighter color of the pair is supposed to go on the inside of your lips while the darker shade is more on the outside The lighter color is supposed to make the lips look fuller and more pouty To get this effect on your top lip you apply the lipstick as you normally would but for the bottom lip you have to turn the tube upside down so the lighter color is on the inside hence the name upside brown The technique can be a little tricky but the results are worthwhile if you have the patience The five new sultry shades are Chestnutty Upside Brown Wildberry Bonfire and Cider After finishing my all time favorite toner BeneFit s Alpha Smooth I decided to try their Rosewater Tonic 14 for 4 ounces for combination normal to dry complexions to see how it would compare While it doesn t have the benefits of alpha hydroxy acid the Rosewater Tonic works well as a basic toner for just about any skin type The second ingredient is witch hazel which can be irritating to some sensitive skins but I found it to be surprisingly soothing and refreshing Otherwise this is a no frills toner that is perfect for someone who loves the smell of roses I have been so pleased with BeneFit s Alpha Smooth alpha hydroxy toner and Seven night cream that I took the plunge and ordered their Alpha Clean 5 AHA cleanser 18 for 5 56 ounces with volcanic mud I was skeptical when I read for normal to dry skin on the label but it turned out to be very gentle and non drying aloe vera gel is the first ingredient Although I never thought AHAs in a cleanser would do much good this one is gentle enough to leave on the face for a minute or two then rinse away so you do get some exfoliating benefits While it does remove foundation and the daily grime you definitely need a separate eye makeup remover you would not want to get this stuff in your eyes If there is one thing I am constantly fussing with it s my hair It truly has a mind of its own and needs to be tamed daily by a whole slew of products to control curl tame frizzies and relieve dryness This high maintenance hair has me constantly on the lookout for new and better products On a trip to my local Beauty Warehouse I discovered they carry Bumble Bumble a line I had heard about but never tried A bottle of Seaweed Conditioner 15 for 8 ounces was calling my name so I decided to give it a try While I am sure this would be a great everyday conditioner for normal hair it just doesn t deliver enough moisture to make my dry hair feel soft No matter how much I put on or how long I left it on my hair it just isn t designed to meet the needs of dry hair The search continues Wrapping up our series on makeup brushes this week I bring you my personal favorites in brushes MAC Of all the lines I ve seen with makeup brushes MAC has the most extensive collection and the best quality for the money Every MAC brush is designed to last a lifetime no matter how hard you use or abuse them or how many times you wash them For beginners or full time makeup artists MAC has a brush for every type of design possible I decided to keep it to the basics and here s what I found Powder You can use either 135 25 or 101 36 for powder The 135 is smaller and can also be used for soft blush while the 101 is very full and super soft great for blending and all over powder Blush Again there is more than one choice for blush If you like a more precise application the 2 25 with its smaller tapered head much like Stila s 1 is a great choice For a softer look the 135 25 is perfect with soft bristles and a full tapered shape Eyeshadow The ultimate multi purpose eyeshadow brush the 141 26 can do everything lid color crease color smudgy liner even brows The bristles are soft and tapered at an angle that makes crease work a breeze Brow For precise color application brow grooming or even powder eye liner the stiff 22 16 angled brush is a MAC favorite Lip The 117 retractable 12 is the way to go My favorite trick with this brush is loading it up with color putting on the lid and taking it with me for a night out no fussing with lipstick tubes It s 10 Challenge time again If you are new to this ultimate drugstore scavenger hunt here s how The 10 Challenge works take 10 into a drugstore and buy the coolest products you can find Simple For our 4th

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT August 22 1997 Since sharing Stila s new fall colors last week I can barely wait for the first leaves to fall so I can sport every line s new colors This week Bobbi Brown announced her new products and new shades for fall available in some stores now and others coming in September Everybody is jumping on the nail polish bandwagon and Bobbi is no different Her new nail washes 12 50 come in three sheer colors pink shell and white and three shimmers white sand pink and pale gold These soft subtle colors are classic and great alone or over your favorite shade What really got my attention from Bobbi s new products is her new professional concealer 22 50 As much as I love her foundation stick as a concealer this new concealer in a very handy mirrored compact is a real improvement better coverage better staying power and I think a better package It comes in four neutral shades ivory sand natural beige golden orange warm almond For fall Bobbi s new lipstick shades 16 are a bit different from the deep plums and vibrant reds of many other lines instead her new Sandwash Pink and Soft Rose shades feel more like spring than fall To give these shades more of a fall spin add one of her three new gloss colors 18 buff natural nude fudge sheer chocolate and aubergine gorgeous plum For those of you who love Bobbi s yellow based foundations and powders but have had trouble finding the right shade for your skin her two new powder colors 29 should help bridge the gap Soft sand moves into the number two spot between the lightest pale yellow and sunny beige and warm natural moves in between sunny beige and golden orange Anyone who knows me knows I can t resist trying new products and I certainly can t resist free samples This week I had the pleasure of finally trying a few skin care products from Arbonne International a botanical cruelty free line started in Switzerland Arbonne s product literature is steeped in their belief that botanical herbal and natural ingredients are inherently better for your skin that synthetic formulas If botanical is important to you Arbonne is a perfectly good albeit expensive choice The one thing I particularly liked about Arbonne is their catalog with skin type descriptions and helpful information about what some of the ingredients they use actually do Cleansing Lotion 13 50 for 3 25 ounces an effective lotion cleanser that removes all traces of makeup so you don t need a separate eye makeup remover If you have normal slightly oily or combination skin and prefer a cleanser that doesn t lather this a a great choice Bio Hydria Gentle Exfoliant 22 for 2 ounces a very gentle jojoba bead scrub with Arbonne s bio hydria complex of comfrey root cucumber watercress birch leaf clover blossom and ginseng extracts that is supposed to increase moisture retention and help soothe the skin Again if you like a more botanical approach to skin care the bio hydria line is full of them This is a nice basic scrub for really any skin type Toner 17 50 for 8 ounces an alcohol free witch hazel based toner with peppermint plantain rosemary papaya comfrey and lemon extracts and a dash of aloe vera gel If you are sensitive to plant extracts this might not be the best choice for you It left my combination and sensitive skin a little tight but thankfully not irritated Bio Hydria Naturesomes serum 37 for 95 ounce unless you have oily or slightly oily skin and could use this product alone this serum is an expensive and unnecessary step The bio hydria botanicals are supposed to somehow increase the benefits of your moisturizer but all you are really doing is moisturizing your skin again Bio Hydria Eye Cream 23 50 for 75 ounce a standard eye cream that will moisturize the eye area and nothing more Any moisturizer can do this Bio Hydria Alpha Complex Moisture for Day SPF 8 33 for 2 ounces an ordinary lotion with too little sun protection SPF 15 is more realistic and a dash of 5 fruit acids Unless you can t live without all those botanicals you can get the same benefits from Neutrogena Healthy Skin lotion for less than 10 Bio Hydria Alpha Complex Night Serum 38 for 95 ounce this serum is basically the same as Naturesomes but with their alpha complex of fruit acids thrown in Its 5 AHA concentration will exfoliate very gently which would be great for someone with sensitive skin but you don t have to pay 38 for such a simple AHA product Overall I m glad I tried Arbonne but I don t plan on making it my new skin care routine With so many other choices right down the street at my local department store I wasn t impressed enough with Arbonne to go out of my way to order the products I m always searching for something new and different online so when I found a lipstick line called Three Custom Color Specialists doing business on the web I had to investigate In the spirit of true entrepreneurship three friends from New York decided to ditch their day jobs and use their knowledge of chemistry and color theory to develop a line of 15 ready to wear lipstick shades 7 warm 7 cool and one neutral and to offer custom color creations to match anything you want a flower your favorite wallpaper an old shirt whatever Let me just say these lipsticks are fabulous The texture is amazing the shades are incredibly natural and easy to wear and the color will actually last through your morning coffee At 15 a tube for the ready to wear shades or 45 for two tubes of custom blended color to your specifications you won t want to pass these up For more information about Three Custom Color Specialists you can call them at 1 888 262 7714 email them at info threecustom com or visit their website at http www threecustom com As part of our continuing series on makeup brushes we ve got

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT August 15 1997 When I get the chance to visit a Stila counter I go crazy This week we ve got even more cool colors from Stila of their new All Over Shimmers Check out these four great shades of allover lip eye and cheek color along with descriptions Each creamy shimmer color sells for 28 and comes in Stila s famous aluminum tube decorated in deep midnight blue with gold stars For a glowing new look or a quick way to update colors you already have these shimmers are great fun The hot lipstick color for fall is my favorite and soon to be yours RED I ve scoured the drugstore and department store lines for the best reds for fall and here they are Whether you favor true blue red or a warm brown red you re sure to find something just for you this season MAC Dubonnet Prestige Sheer Berry Lord Berry Intense Scarlet Stila Lipshine red shine Maybelline Great Wear Garnet L Oreal Sheer Robin Bobbi Brown Burnt Red Clarins Secret de Rouge 203 Origins Huckleberry Circle of Beauty Rich Lasting Cream 029 Rich Real Red English Ideas Royal Red Beauticontrol Color Freeze Siren Christian Dior Autumn Rose Keep the rest of your makeup simple when you wear red lips smooth foundation soft mascara very bare sheer eye shadow like cream beige or light taupe and soft rosey blush Our third installment of our makeup brush reviews series continues this week with a look at some basic brushes from Estee Lauder Powder 20 I like the full soft bristles but they are cut in a strange angled shape A few bristles came out when I pulled on them a good way to test the quality of the craftsmanship which is not a good sign Blush 18 50 The small tapered shape and soft bristles give a soft application of color No bristles fell out but there were a few gaps between the bristles and the ferrule the metal piece that clamps the bristles onto the handle which could scrape the skin if it got too close Square shading for eyes 15 I like this shape and the softness of the bristles very much If you usually use one shadow color this is a nice soft brush for smooth allover color Eyeshadow Contouring 12 50 This is a knock off of MAC s 36 crease brush The bristles are soft but floppy making any serious crease application next to impossible Angled eyeshadow brows 12 50 This brush may be good for smudgy liner but it s much too soft for precise brow or crease color Concealer 12 50 I typically like a brush to place concealer then I use my finger to blend it out This is a nice shape and large enough to cover undereye circles in one sweep While they have some good shapes and nice soft bristles I have had the unfortunate advantage of seeing a EL powder brush after six months of use visibly worn with bristles falling out a few at a time with each powder application Truly good quality makeup brushes should not appear worn out after six months or even after a year If you decide to investigate EL s brushes or any other lines s brushes for that matter check carefully for loose bristles and overall craftsmanship and don t hesitate to return a brush if you feel it is of inferior quality I ve had so much fun catalog shopping lately that I ve decided to continue and share my findings On trips to cities that actually carry Benefit cosmetics I ve had the pleasure of choosing some of their products right from the stores and counters This week I took a chance and ordered from the catalog a few items I had never seen before All Types Skin Wash Alpha Smooth toner and Eye Lift If you like Cetaphil cleanser but always seem to need a separate eye makeup remover to get mascara and shadow off check out Benefit s All Types Skin Wash 14 for 4 ounces It looks and feels just like Cetaphil only it s much better at removing makeup I ve been using BeneFit s Seven AHA cream for the past few months with great results but it wasn t until I added the Alpha Smooth toner 18 for 4 ounces to my cleansing routine that I really saw a difference in some more stubborn areas especially minimizing the number of blackheads and little forehead bumps I was worried that a toner with 5 glycolic acid would irritate my sensitive skin but it is actually one of the gentlest toners I ve ever used the 4th ingredient is aloe vera gel For a toner that actually does something this is a terrific choice My only disappointment was with Eye Lift 25 for one ounce This eye cream claims to smooth and tighten the eye area for me the plant extracts were more of an irritant than a soother Any eye cream can temporarily smooth wrinkles by plumping them up with moisture and this one is no different It does help reduce puffiness but the overall possibility for irritation makes it hard for me to recommend especially at this price For our final reviews this week a look at Elizabeth Arden s Modern SkinCare line Based on samples of the 2 in 1 Cleanser Skin Illuminating Complex and Daily Moisture SPF 15 here s what I thought of them 2 in 1 Cleanser 17 50 for 4 2 ounce tube A fine cleanser for normal combination or normal to oily skin The creamy lather cleanses the skin doesn t leave it dried out or tight and doesn t require a toner afterwards With so many cleansers to choose from this one does the job but is really nothing special Skin Illuminating Complex 42 50 for one ounce After using my sample for several days I noticed no positive difference in my skin I imagine it would take several weeks to really see any change but I have a hard time spending 42 50 for such a tiny bottle of lotion that is supposed to do the same thing as Avon s retinol cream 17 50 It does contain squalane which is a known antibacterial that is beneficial to the skin but I didn t like the thin texture and filmy appearance this lotion left on my skin For the benefits of squalane I would sooner choose something like BeneFit s Hyaluronic Cream 24 instead Daily Moisture SPF 15 32 50 for 1 7 ounces An average but overpriced lotion for normal to oily or oily skin It was not moisturizing enough for my combination skin so I had to use a separate moisturizer underneath defeats the purpose of their three simple product approach The Makeup Diva is In Are chapped lips ruining

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT August 8 1997 You count on Cosmetic Connection to bring you the latest and greatest in cosmetic finds every week so how does a sneak peek at Stila s new Fall colors sound I ve got em right here for your viewing pleasure There are 5 new shadows all shimmery metallic shades 3 new lipsticks and 3 new glosses red is my favorite The new shadow colors are a welcome departure from many of Stila s muted neutrals and pastels especially for a more dramatic or smokey look My personal picks are barefoot contessa and jezebel shadows lina lipstick and red shine gloss Considering the number of cosmetic lines available these days I often encounter ones that are only available to me through a catalog If you live in a small town or even a smaller than NYC city catalog shopping may be your only option for lines like BeneFit Kiehl s and countless others Since catalog shopping can be intimidating how do you choose when you can t see the products I tried it myself recently with a catalog from the popular Bliss Spa in New York City For 5 you get the catalog and a 10 credit towards your first purchase After flipping through the pages about a million times trying to make up my mind I choose Remede Milky Wash cleanser Decleor Clay and Herbal mask and Zoom Dry top coat nail polish I must admit for my first try I got some excellent products The Remede Milky Wash 29 is a great cleanser for any skin type even takes off eye makeup and leaves the skin feeling smooth and conditioned The woman at Bliss who took my order revealed that this is their most popular cleanser A little spendy but worth a shot if you just can t find the right cleanser for you For the home manicure lover in me I had to try Zoom Dry top coat 9 touted to be a cult item at Bliss for making polish last longer and keeping nails strong As both a quick drying top coat over a fresh manicure and as an upkeep top coat to keep the polish looking fresh I love this product It really does dry super fast and it hardens to a glossy finish that holds up to everyday activities without chipping after a few days For those of you who love doing facial masks as much as I do this clay and herbal one from Decleor a botanical line like Clarins is a refreshing weekly treatment for oily normal to oily or oily T zone skin types The liquid y consistency is thinner and less goopy than many clay based masks and it s not as drying Also a bit spendy 28 but a little seems to go a long way Speaking of masks since they are so handy in this hot and humid summer weather Philosophy has just introduced a new detox mask called Forest Gunk are their names clever or what This liquid green brown mask uses silt and a variety of plant oils to supposedly detoxify the skin After trying it twice I didn t notice much of a difference in my skin but I sure can t forget the mask s odor it smells gross I also found that it can be rather irritating to sensitive skin mine was definitely red and burning I can think of quite a few masks that are much better than this one like Philosophy s own Deeply Superficial If it s not broken don t fix it As promised this week we re continuing our series on makeup brushes with a review of the basic set from Philosophy Once only available in The Coloring Book Philosophy now sells them individually so you can customize your set to fit your needs Blush 25 nice full tapered size makes blush application a snap A little expensive for a fairly standard but still good quality blush brush Shadow 20 fluffy tapered bristles are very soft for a more soft sheer application of color A good choice if you are new to eyeshadow or if you use only one or two colors at a time Blending 18 excellent crease and blending brush that is soft enough to be gentle on the skin but stiff enough to deposit a fair amount of color I really like this one Lip 18 the small tapered shape is great for fool proof application even if you are rather uncoordinated like me Brow 10 a very stiff brush great for general brow grooming as well as adding a little color One of Philosophy s better priced brushes The Makeup Diva is In Are chapped lips ruining your chance at smooth

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT August 1 1997 Happy Friday and Happy August from the Cosmetic Connection Last Friday came and went and there was no report Many of you wondered what was wrong and to that I say thank you to all of my concerned readers for checking in with me My father in law passed away last week so I was out of town for several days to be with my family I appreciate the kind words and thoughts you ve shared with me during this difficult time This week I bring you what I was planning on serving up last week a virtual cornucopia of cosmetic goodies I get quite a few requests for my recommendation of makeup brushes so I ve decided to start a series of reviews covering some basic brushes Over the course of the next few weeks we ll start with Stila work our way through Philosophy Estee Lauder and Prescriptives and end with MAC Although I ve been MAC faithful for brushes for over two years my collection has recently expanded to include some very fine brushes from Stila including 1 blush 24 5 all over shadow 21 7 precision crease 16 10 angled brow 16 and 13 flat eyeliner 18 My absolute favorite of the bunch is the 7 crease brush it s super soft bristles and small tapered shape make it a perfect choice for crease color lid color or even super smudgy liner Here s a quick look at the others in this basic collection 1 Blush This small but nicely tapered size works well for precise application while still giving a soft not streaky application 5 All over shadow A great brush for easy lid color or for thick crease contour The bristles aren t as soft as the 7 crease brush so it deposits more color in one stroke Remember the softer the bristles the softer the application of color 10 Angled brow I like this one much better than MAC s 22 because of its stiffer bristles The control is excellent without depositing too much color 13 Flat eyeliner This brush is a little thick for precision lining but a good choice if you are just started with shadow liner Skin care and foundation are the two products we always seem to be searching for Whether we can t find the right one or we just like to try the newest brands I think most of us have an entire bathroom or vanity devoted to bottle after bottle of cleansers potions and foundations This week please allow me to add yet another to the pile Lancome Eau de Teint watercolor sheer foundation 25 is worth considering if you like a very lightweight and sheer coverage The colors can be a bit on the yellow side but if you find a good match the texture is fantastic super soft easy to blend and feels light even in scorching summer heat Another favorite product that I am always on the look out for is nail polish Even though it s often a losing battle to keep my nails looking good endless dishes housework laundry and gardening could have something to do with it I still love what a good classic red or a shocking blue does for my spirits This week at the start of Nordstrom s Anniversary Sale I discovered a terrific nail kit from MAC including two new polish colors Gel a shimmery gold and Raffia a frosty mauve purple a professional file a small bottle of their polish remover and a small bottle of their fabulous new hand cream all packaged in a killer black and clear makeup bag for 24 Even if you don t have a Nordstrom store near you you can order this kit from the Nordstrom Beauty Hotline 1 800 7 BEAUTY and have it delivered right to your door If you love nails as much as I do jump on this kit before they are all gone Still discovering my new favorite in hair care I testdrove KMS Haircare s Cleanse pHree shampoo for normal healthy hair 6 this week This is another great shampoo from KMS for really just about any hair type It isn t particularly moisturizing so if you have dry hair just use your favorite conditioner A great choice for seriously dry hair is KMS s Liquid Assets Recovery Treatment spray reconstructor around 20 While the label claims it is anti aging it s really just a vitamin packed treatment for hair that needs help After shampooing spray this leave in treatment on towel dried hair then style I found a renewed softness and shine I thought my hair had lost long ago The Makeup Diva is In Finding a foundation that really matches your skin is just a fantasy right NO This week Miss Diva clears up this misconception and gives practical tips to finding the right shade for you Don t miss it It s Beauty Pack time again here at Cosmetic Connection Congratulations to July s lucky winners Dolores Adams of Plainfield Connecticut and Susan LaCrosse of

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT July 18 1997 During the summer doing complicated makeup and fussing with my hair are two things that seldom interest me I want quick and easy but I also want the products I choose to do more like one pencil that does the job of three or an eye cream that smooths fine lines and has extra sun protection When it comes to dealing with my hair the less I have to do to it the better I want softness and volume without complicated blowdrying techniques or three or four individual products for volume shine and hold After discovering KMS Haircare recently I decided to put their AMP Volume line of shampoo 6 50 reconstructor 8 50 and styling foam 8 96 to the test with my fine dry flyaway hair Made with Amino acids Magnesium and Panthenol hence the name AMP these products are supposed to add substantial volume to fine hair without weighing it down While I found that they really do give fine hair a lift the compromise is hair that is a bit stiff and almost gritty like the hair is heavily coated What this added texture is great for however is involved hair styles like french twists ponytails and up do s that fine hair can often slip out of for someone with fine hair that is often unmanageable being able to actually style the hair is a fair trade for a little stickiness Although many women experience more oily skin in the summer moisturizers are still a standard in most beauty routines because these days they do more than just hydrate From controlling oil to exfoliating the skin a lotion that does that job of three separate products has become the new standard Kiehl s Ultra Protection Moisturizing Eye Gel SPF 18 28 50 is a great example it moisturizes the delicate eye area reduces puffiness makes the undereye area appear more firm and gives the added protection of SPF 18 sunscreen which helps prevent wrinkles and dryness from sun damage The cream gel formula is light enough to absorb quickly but thick enough to provide adequate moisturizing benefits For a body lotion with an extra kick check out BeneFit s Wonderbod 10 AHA lotion 24 for 8 ounces This product outperforms regular body lotions by smoothing the skin in two ways it hydrates and exfoliates Use this lotion for a few weeks on legs elbows wherever and you can say goodbye to scaly dry skin Be warned however that the peppery tingle the label warns about is pretty strong so do a spot test to make sure your skin can handle it My sensitive skin was seriously itchy for several minutes the first two or three times I applied it then it subsided For a very fun evening or going out look with just one product I love BeneFit s new Gilded gold pencil 14 for eyes lips over lipstick or alone and cheeks over blush or alone The sparkly gold color looks glamorous and gives a whole new look to your usual makeup colors Very fun and versatile For a fresh outdoor look great for a casual weekend or lazy summer day BeneFit s BeneTint lip and cheek stain 24 gives a healthy rosey glow that lasts longer than any regular blush or lipstick BeneTint s red liquid mix of real rose petals and soothing glycerin comes bottled like nail polish with a brush on the cap and a blending sponge If you like no fuss makeup BeneTint delivers great all day color One small note it works better on bare cheeks when it hits foundation it dries too quickly to blend Try putting it on first then apply foundation lightly over it I frequently get email from Cosmetic Connection readers asking me what I do with all the products I test after I ve tested them If it was a product I really liked I ll often incorporate it into my regular cosmetics or skin care For those items that just didn t work for me like an eyeshadow that was the wrong color or a moisturizer that was too heavy for my skin I ll trade it in for something I do want at Mikki s Swap Page Mikki s done a super job at making it easy to post and swap all those cosmetics that may be junk to you but a treasure to somebody

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT July 4 1997 Happy Friday and Happy July from the Cosmetic Connection For those of you who have been Cosmetic Report subscribers since the beginning I m sure you ll remember our 10 Challenge series The goal of the 10 Challenge is to see just how far 10 can go toward cool makeup products at a local drugstore For our third 10 Challenge I decided to go for widely available brands like Maybelline and Almay Maybelline Expert Eyes eyeshadow quad in The Suedes matte 3 55 If you stick with the matte colors these shadows from Maybelline are a great choice for long lasting and easy to blend color at a really reasonable price You really don t need to spend a lot of money on good quality shadows I love sets of multiple shadows like this for playing with different looks and color combinations This is a definite buy Maybelline Express Finish nail polish in Pearl 2 55 While perusing the eyeshadow quad choices I couldn t help noticing Maybelline s new quick dry nail polishes They claim it sets and dries in 2 minutes but I think that would only work if you used all of the Express Finish products to do your at home manicure When I used my usual Avon base coat plus my Urban Decay top coat over the Maybelline polish it took just as long to dry as ever about 30 45 minutes to totally dry nails Almay Amazing Lash Waterproof mascara in Intense Brown 3 95 I really liked this mascara It left my lashes looking full and lush and feeling soft not stiff or clumpy The waterproof ness wasn t quite 100 I got a few little flakes but no smearing but this is still a good choice for a long wearing at least water resistant mascara in a great range of colors Unlike most of the product testing I do quite a bit of it lately has been done on the road while I ve been traveling Trying to cram a regular set of makeup and skin care into a tiny makeup travel case made me realize I needed to find some smaller versions and fast First on my list was a convenient foundation that I could carry in my purse or overnight bag without worrying about leaking Max Factor just came out with a new Powder Foundation 8 so I decided to give it a try If I could have found a suitable color for my skin I think this foundation would have been a great choice It goes on smooth not too dry or powdery and covers well enough that I didn t need a separate concealer The color selection is great if you have medium to dark skin but for my complexion the lightest Natural Honey was too pink and the next one up Pale Champagne was too dark This really is a nice product so be sure to check out the colors for yourself if you are in the market for a good and reasonably priced powder foundation The best way to consolidate a makeup bag is to have everything you need in one small case brushes and all I was thrilled when I happened by my local Philosophy counter the other day and discovered The Pocket Book 45 a complete kit in a tiny wallet perfect for travel The Pocket Book includes sunkissed blush prosperity eyeshadow four mini lipsticks in suntan SPF 15 dedication liberation and wisdom and a travel brush set for blush eyeshadow liner lipstick and blending It all comes in a black leather tri fold wallet with pockets to hold everything great for adding your own things too This is by far the best set I ve seen for travel or just for your purse to carry everything you need Last but certainly not least I really needed a smaller skin care kit Lugging around huge bottles of cleanser and toner along with multiple jars of day cream night cream eye treatment it was getting ridiculous During my last trip to California I paid a visit to an H2O store and found just what I was looking for a skincare starter kit Each kit comes complete with small sizes of everything you need for your skin type for just 7 50 My kit for normal or oily skin included Marine Cleansing Gel 16 50 for the full 6 ounce size This is a fabulous cleanser for any skin type except seriously dry It removes makeup effortlessly leaving the skin feeling fresh but not tight or dry The low level lather feels refreshing but not stripping Marine Toner 15 00 for the full 12 ounce size A great all purpose toner for any skin type It contains no alcohol or witch hazel just sea minerals and plenty of skin soothing ingredients like allantoin panthenol and lavender Marine Daily Hydrator 18 50 for the full 4 ounce size I liked this lightweight lotion very much it absorbs quickly leaves the skin very smooth and soft but it contains no sun protection I would wear a light lotion like this during the day if it had SPF 15 or better instead I used it at night as a light cream for any dry areas Water Activated Eye Makeup Remover 12 50 for the full 4 ounce size I wasn t too keen about an eye makeup remover that lathers until I tried it With a little water this makeup remover lathers ever so slightly to take off stubborn eye shadow and mascara in a snap Doesn t burn sting or irritate Sea Mineral Facial Mud 25 00 for the full 4 ounce size As with many clay based masks I used this one only on the areas that really needed it my T zone If you are oily or have a few blemishes this is a great mask to pull out excess oil and junk from the pores It is a bit drying to non oily areas so be careful Also be sure to warn anyone at home that you are putting it on the bright blue color is really startling The Makeup Diva is In So many makeup counter sales people try to convince us that you have to buy their whole skin care system in order for any of it to work Don t let your

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT June 27 1997 Thanks to all of you who shared your cosmetic counter experiences with me Being a makeup artist or working in the cosmetic industry doesn t have to just be about sales it really can be about serving people I m glad I found evidence that there are people actually doing that Over the past few weeks I ve been busily testing the one product we always seem to have a heightened need for in the summer facial masks Whether you ve got acne prone oily or just plain dull looking skin I have found a mask for you My absolute favorite of the bunch is Philosophy s Deeply Superficial enzyme mask 18 for a 2 ounce jar When you want the spa facial feeling at home use this It exfoliates both with ground up corn cob meal and with fruit enzymes from pineapple and papaya as well as soothing the skin with honey the mask s first ingredient This mask does have some kaolin clay but not so much that the mask or your face feels tight or dry either while you re wearing it or after you ve rinsed it off For a great overall skin refreshing mask I highly recommend this one For a more all over oily skin type sometimes a clay mask is just what the skin needs to feel clean and refreshed Trish McEvoy s Exfoliating Mask 30 for 2 ounces will do the job to absorb oil and leave the skin with that super clean feeling While this mask is a fine choice I have a hard time recommending that anyone spend 30 for it unless for some reason you really believe in what the Trish McEvoy line is all about My old favorite Sea Mineral Mud Mask from Garden Botanika is just as good for a lot less money you can get a 4 ounce jar for only 12 50 Kiehl s Rare Earth Facial Cleansing Mask 16 50 for 5 ounces is another good clay mask but this one is fairly heavy duty I used this Kiehl s mask only on the spots of my face that were either seriously oily or had an enlarged blemish that just wouldn t go away and it worked great actually draws the oil and gross stuff right out of the pimple much like Kiehl s Drawing Paste Putting this mask on my whole face however is something I wouldn t do unless I was very oily all over all the time For those really stubborn acne blemishes that keep hanging around sometimes spot treatment with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid doesn t quite do the trick Origins figured this out and recently introduced a new mask called Out Of Trouble 17 50 It was designed to be a more advanced treatment product than their Spot Remover blemish gel to specifically be used as a spot treatment mask not for your whole face to tackle active pimples The active ingredients of camphor and menthol make it smell almost exactly like Noxzema but I ve found that this mask actually does help when used sparingly unlike the extremely harsh ingredients in Noxzema I found the best way to use Out Of Trouble is to apply it as a mask to the problem spots rinse it off when it s dried then reapply a very thin layer before you go to sleep to the affected areas like you would a normal acne treatment product This extra step really worked for me on some of my more resistant blemishes Speaking of incredibly nasty pimples and such grin we re all friends here right I ve found a terrific product that actually works to keep blackheads under control At drugstores and supermarkets now are Pore Perfect Deep Cleansing Strips by a company called Biore These strips are designed just for those stubborn blackheads you get on your nose you apply the strip to a wet nose press it on firmly let it dry for 15 minutes then peel it off You will find just as I did the contents of just about every blocked pore that was on your nose now stuck to this strip Amazing At around 5 6 for a box of 6 strips you ve got 6 weeks worth of clean pores for a really great price Even though we often think of summer as being the time of year when everyone has oily skin there are still plenty of people with normal or dry skin who can benefit from a weekly mask too My all time favorite hydrating mask is the Seaweed Mud Mask from BeneFit 19 for a 2 ounce jar Not only does it feel cool and soothing going on but it really hydrates the skin without leaving it feeling greasy like a heavy cream can If you follow the directions and spritz your face with water every few minutes while the mask is working you ll really notice your skin feels full of moisture Try it and see for yourself For those of you who have been Cosmetic Report subscribers since the beginning I m sure you ll remember our 10 Challenge series The goal of the 10 Challenge was to see just how far 10 could go toward cool makeup products at a local drugstore This week I am excited to introduce a new crop of products for our third 10 Challenge 1 Maybelline Expert Eyes eyeshadow quad in

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT June 20 1997 Have you ever wondered what it s like to be behind the cosmetic counter This week I am pleased to share with you my experience as a freelance makeup artist working a Philosophy cosmetics makeup event Enjoy As many of you read in last week s special report the experience I had as an artist with Bobbi Brown Essentials is considered among both women in the industry and consumers as fairly typical it s all about selling the products From the corporation itself all the way down to the artists and counter managers it s all about getting that product out the door Although I was hardly surprised I was admittedly disappointed and disillusioned When I was approached by the counter manager of Philosophy cosmetics to work their first ever event in Portland I naturally expected the sell sell sell theme to be the same Thankfully it couldn t have been further from the truth From the moment I stepped up to the counter and said hello to Jana the counter manager I knew I was in for some fun All the appointments for the afternoon were facials first then color Jana introduced me to the facialist then brought me to the elaborate setup she had created for the event a collection of tables with all the supplies I would need including the Coloring Book full of the colors and brushes I d be using She handed me a list of the clients we d be seeing describing each one that she knew already and what each person liked from the line Was she ever organized Since facials were the first half hour of every one hour appointment the pace for me doing each woman s makeup was very relaxed and casual I was actually encouraged to take my time chat with the customers and make sure they got the makeup look they wanted Talk about a breath of fresh air I had a great time talking about makeup and skin care giving recommendations on products and techniques and just chatting When each session was over if the customer liked any of the products and wanted to purchase something great and if not that was okay too Jana understood that just because these women signed up for the event didn t mean they were going to or were required to buy anything We all agreed that the personal attention we gave would leave a positive impression about Philosophy and that was enough I felt really good about working with Philosophy on their first Portland event good enough to take my mother to the counter when she visited recently to introduce her to Jana and Philosophy s products I appreciate Philosophy s straightforward and honest attitude that I ve seen at my local counter and the refreshing absence of the flood of ridiculous claims that many other lines have I don t love every product Philosophy makes but the friendly and comfortable experience I had with them did leave a very positive impression on me For more information about Philosophy check out their web site at http www philosophy com or give them a call at 1 888 2 new age For those of you interested in the Coloring Book it is a collection of ten eyeshadows four blushes five lipsticks an eye pencil a lip pencil and a set of seven makeup brushes for blush shadow liner

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT June 13 1997 Have you ever wondered what it s like to be behind the cosmetic counter This week I am pleased to share with you my experience as a freelance makeup artist working a Bobbi Brown Essentials makeup event Enjoy I have always been interested in makeup and skin care I remember when I was in high school going shopping with my mom on weekends to our local Clinique counter and wondering what it would be like to have a job in cosmetics Over the years after realizing that it s makeup that I enjoy not selling I decided that if I was going to work with makeup I would rather become a makeup artist rather than get a sales job behind the counter Friends in the industry had told me I didn t need to go to cosmetology school to do makeup so instead I read every book I could get my hands on I took makeup classes in college I bought tons of makeup and brushes and I practiced every chance I got with new techniques colors and designs I got my first break with Bobbi Brown Essentials A friend of a friend knew the counter manager the person responsible for hiring freelance artists so I called and asked if she needed people for any upcoming events Before I knew it I was booked for a Saturday event on summer colors and bronzers I was so excited I spent several days practicing different looks including what I would wear for my own makeup that day When the big day arrived I was so excited and nervous I could hardly contain myself I arrived at the counter right on time noon sharp ready to get started on the day s appointments What I never expected was being told to stand out in the aisle of the department store for two hours to put bronzing powder on women as they walked by Even though I was scheduled to take appointments at noon no one was booked until 2pm The counter manager informed me in a matter of fact tone that we just needed to get people over to the counter put some makeup on them and hope they buy something I needed to stand in the aisle to try to bring people in to sell products It was all about selling products As if standing in the aisle for two hours wasn t unexpected enough I was told just minutes before the first scheduled person arrived that we weren t doing new summer looks at all I was going to spend an entire afternoon doing makeup for high school girls who were going to their prom that night Talk about pressure Thankfully the best part of the day was talking to the girls about their dresses their dates and just chatting about life school whatever I was amazed at how easily my instincts about color just took over and the makeup really looked good The rich Bobbi Brown colors were great for the evening looks the girls wanted and I was thrilled when they would leave with bigger smiles than they came with I really felt a sense of accomplishment It would have been my ideal makeup artistry experience if the pressure to sell wasn t so completely overwhelming It seemed like even a line like Bobbi Brown that is getting so much attention from every fashion and women s magazine around still thinks about the money first and the customer later This particular counter manager wanted the makeup done very quickly without regard to what the customer asked for she commented several times that I was giving the girls too much personal attention and she wanted the customers to spend spend spend To expect a 16 or 17 year old girl to spend almost 200 on this one set of makeup not even including the brushes was practically criminal While the whole experience as an artist at Bobbi Brown was ultimately fun and rewarding it was a peek at what goes on behind the counter that made me wish I didn t know how it really is Next week get a refreshing look at a completely different experience as I take you behind the scenes with Philosophy Don t miss it SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT June 6 1997 Happy Friday and Happy June from the Cosmetic Connection The good the bad and the ugly we encounter everything from overpriced creams to mascara to die for at the cosmetic counters This week I share with you some good cosmetic finds and a few that aren t worth the package they come in I ve always have a great time at my local Trish McEvoy counter at Saks Fifth Avenue here in downtown Portland Oregon The counter manager and the artists are friendly creative and seem truly interested in teaching women about cosmetics and skin care not just selling products When I got a call that they were doing an event with a regional makeup artist I made an appointment and knew I was in for a relaxing hour of makeup fun The artist who was also a facialist cleansed my face with their Essential Cleanser 37 00 for 8 ounces then applied a thin layer of their Glycolic Lotion 37 00 for 2 ounces mixed with their Light Moisturizer 37 00 for 2 ounces While the products felt okay on my skin I could help noticing that the ingredients in the 37 Essential Cleanser are identical to those in Cetaphil a popular gentle skin cleanser that runs about 7 for 16 ounces at most drugstores The Glycolic Lotion was nice enough but not worth 37 Philosophy s The Damage Is Done Alpha Hydrox Avon Anew or Neutrogena Healthy Skin could all do the job just as well for a lot less money The same goes for the Light Moisturizer nothing special or unique Remember I m not just talking about cost I m talking about value I want to feel like I got what I paid for and not that I just spent 111 on skin care that is completely ordinary The one thing I absolutely loved from my afternoon at the Trish counter was their Natural Tint Foundation Oil Free 35 00 Unlike most oil free foundations I ve tried like Bobbi Brown oil free and Laura Mercier oil free this one from Trish is very fluid not thick and spreads very easily without caking or drying too quickly The coverage is enough to hide what you want to hide without looking or feeling like a mask If you ve got oily normal to oily acne prone or even combination skin oily T zone normal cheeks this is a great foundation choice Since I am always looking for a gentle thorough cleanser I decided to revisit my local Shiseido counter to see what was new and interesting When I was a teenager I used Shiseido s Pureness line for oily skin but over the years I was naturally drawn to many other lines and Shiseido quickly became just a memory After talking to the skin care consultant we determined my skin is Normal Combination for which they recommend the Vital Perfection line of products I took the plunge and bought the Cleansing Foam 22 50 and Facial Cleansing Brush 19 50 skipping the overpriced and unnecessary 30 Balancing Softener toner and slew of moisturizers I knew I didn t need I wasn t even sure if the Facial Cleansing Brush would make much difference over the cleanser alone but after two weeks of daily use my blackhead prone areas chin nose and forehead are actually clearer and smoother The daily use of the brush is enough gentle exfoliation to remove some of the blackheads and help keep them from coming back Hooray The cleanser itself works well to remove most makeup and daily grime definitely use a separate gentle eye makeup remover though and it leaves the skin feeling clean and smooth It also contains tiny blue antibacterial beads that are great for acne prone skin because they help stop bacteria from spreading to other unaffected areas of your face This cleanser is really for someone who is either altogether oily or at least has a fairly oily T zone and normal cheeks if you are dry anywhere your skin probably won t like this product Another good product I ve found this week for someone with oily normal to oily or combination skin is Prescriptives Insulation Anti Oxidant Vitamin Cream SPF 15 40 00 You get all the anti oxidant vitamin and sun protection benefits you need in one extremely lightweight cream that feels great on the skin The featherlight texture means quick absorption with no greasy residue or oily feeling perfect for summer Speaking of perfect for summer Lancome s new body moisturizer Re Source Drenching Body Spray 25 00 is a great new alternative to heavy body lotions A quick spray moisturizes and cools the skin leaving behind a terrific light floral fragrance Perfect after a shower or bath or after being out in the sun all day to relieve sun tired skin The Makeup Diva is In Do you love that sun kissed look but hate what the

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT May 30 1997 This week I am pleased to bring you a few more beauty splurges and bargain basement deals to add to your cosmetic collection Whether you are looking for the creme de la creme eye shadow or a steal of a deal lip color combo we ve got a little something for everybody Even with a cosmetic box full of shadows lipsticks and foundations I still like to track down new colors textures and formulas to create a variety of looks Walking through a local department store recently I was spotted by a Christian Dior makeup artist and invited to have a free makeover to try their new colors Naturally I couldn t resist The skin care and foundation did not excite me nearly as much as the Effets D Ombre eye shadow palettes four eye shadows and a powder eye liner in a handy mirrored case It comes with a pointy sponge tipped applicator for the liner and a dual ended brush sponge applicator for the shadows however considering the steep 49 50 price tag I wanted a few full size professional makeup brushes thrown in too Once I got over the sticker shock I was really impressed by the quality of these shadows silky smooth richly pigmented color that looks freshly applied all day I actually like the pointy sponge liner applicator too It makes a perfect smudgy line and it s easier to control than some eye lining brushes If you like multiple color eye shadow compacts and you don t mind paying almost 50 for it these Dior shadows are a great splurge Another great but overly pricey find was Christian Dior s Blush Final 32 I can t say that any blush is worthy of a 32 price tag but this one does have a beautiful silky texture that blends softly on the skin As nice as this blush is unless Dior has the one color in the world that you can t live without I d sooner take my money to the drugstore Jane blush 3 to Stila blush 14 or to MAC blush 12 any day For my final bit of Dior fun I couldn t resist trying their new Mascara Flash hair mascara 19 50 in Champagne Mascara Flash comes in a range of colors from almost white to deep brown and a very fun and wild cobalt blue Opaline Champagne Amber Chestnut Cedar Henna and Cobalt to be exact I think I would have liked it more had the Dior woman told me not to put it on hair that had been hair sprayed all I got was a goopy mess around my face where I use hair spray to control my bangs Ick Everywhere else these colored mascaras are a fun way to give yourself temporary highlights or a hint of blue that wash out in one shampoo Just brush the color in with the mascara style wand comb it through and you re done Dior claims that shampoo and not plain water is required to wash the color out what a relief for those of us in rainy climates Two new products out this week at your local drugstore or cosmetic outlet will make quick work of putting on lipstick Revlon Line Shine 8 and Max Factor LipSilks 6 Revlon s clever little lipliner plus lipgloss duo made me think why didn t anyone think of this sooner Line Shine comes in 6 great wearable shades Bare Nude Flesh Coffee Berry and Chocolate with a liner on one side and a complementary shade of gloss on the other After trying them all on the back of my hand Flesh won out for me I love having the complete lip color look in one little package and the gloss gives just enough color and shine without looking messy or goopy Max Factor s newest lipstick LipSilks looks just like all the other long wearing lipsticks long slim case slanted lipstick tip but it s not a long wearing formula at all Instead LipSilks are very creamy very silky looking colors that remind me of Origins Slipcovers or Stila Lip Shine The texture is velvety but it just doesn t last drink one glass of water or eat a little something and it s gone If you like more of a creamy glossy feeling and you don t mind reapplying LipSilks does come in some great colors I like 10 Adding to my collection of makeup colors is not my only beauty passion following the latest skin care breakthroughs is another hobby of mine At my age mid twenties I m only beginning to think about preventative wrinkle control My day to day interest is still controlling the occasional blemish or two Luckily alpha hydroxy acid products can target both acne and wrinkles by helping to keep pores clear and dead skin cells exfoliated Since I m always interested in trying AHAs from different lines I was happy to give Regeneration Gold 55 from BeautiControl a shot when my BeautiControl friend Jana told me about it What makes Regeneration Gold different from other AHAs I ve tried is the dual product system a gel in one chamber of the bottle a lotion in another When you pump the product into your hand you get a shot from each chamber that you are supposed to mix then apply to your face I must say that trying to read and understand the ingredients of this product almost requires a degree in chemistry BeautiControl claims that the lotion part is advanced alpha hydroxy acids which is apparent by the lactic acid and tartaric acid in the ingredient list along with a number of thickeners and emollients The gel portion is supposed to contain skin stimulating ingredients What those are I don t know but I can say it does contain some of the oddest chemical substances I have ever seen The end result when you mix them is a cream that feels tingly on the skin and really does make the skin look and feel smoother after just two weeks BeautiControl won t disclose what percentage or concentration of AHAs this product does contain but after using it for over three weeks I d say whatever it is does the job quite well I ve noticed my skin feels smoother in the areas that normally have little bumps I ve had fewer breakouts in my target areas and my skin color is more uniform and less ruddy on my cheeks No cream is a miracle product but if you are looking for a high powered AHA cream to help and the key word here is help soften lines normalize the skin and smooth rough spots BeautiControl s Regeneration Gold is a great choice Comparison is the name of the game if you ask me so after using BeautiControl s AHA product for three weeks I decided to give Philosophy cosmetics another chance with their The Damage Is Done glycolic acid exfoliating moisturizer 24 I haven t had too much luck with their other skin care but I was intrigued by the ingredients in this cream the second ingredient is glycolic acid Cosmetic ingredient labels are just like food ingredient labels the higher the ingredient is on the list the more of it there is I thought for sure this would mean a huge concentration of AHAs but Philosophy tells me it s only 8 percent a good amount but not extreme I wouldn t say I saw as rapid results with The Damage Is Done as I did with the BeautiControl product but this one has next to no fragrance and could pass for a regular moisturizer not just an AHA treatment for someone with normal normal to oily or combination skin If you are looking for gentle exfoliation and you like what Philosophy is up to The Damage Is Done is worth a look The Makeup Diva is In When you put your makeup on you want it to stay on right Too

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT May 23 1997 Thank you so much to all of you who sent me your recommendations for the best eye makeup remover After last week s disaster with Clinique Rinse off Eye Makeup Remover I really appreciated your suggestions for a product that works without stinging or burning I am pleased to report that I found one that works great After trying several skin care products from Lancome like Galatee Douceur cleanser Tonique Douceur toner Bienfait Total SPF 15 lotion and Primordiale regular and for the eyes and liking almost all of them I felt comfortable following the recommendation of several readers to try Lancome s Tendercils Gel Eye Makeup Remover 16 50 After trying it just a few times all I can say is WOW is this a great product I just can t say enough good things about this eye makeup remover It has no perfume y fragrance you only need a tiny dab on your finger no cotton required to get all your eye makeup off it feels as gentle as water it s not oily it doesn t cloud your vision important for contact lens wearers and most importantly it doesn t burn or sting at all I wasn t sure about the gel formula at first but I really liked it better than traditional liquids you can put a dab of the gel on your finger then work it in a back and forth motion through each individual lash and across the rest of your eye lid and that s it The 16 50 price tag may be more than you think you want to spend just like I felt about the remover from Clarins but Tendercil s 2 5 ounce tube should easily last 6 months to a year While standing at the Lancome display choosing from Lancome s different eye makeup removers I couldn t help noticing that Lancome makes a tinted moisturizer just what I had been looking for While regular foundations and even powder based versions work well when summer comes I really want a minimalist makeup look that s fast and doesn t look like gloppy or powdery foundation all over my face Lancome s Imanance Environmental Protection Tinted Creme SPF 15 27 00 is exactly what I would create if I had a cosmetic lab all to myself Can I just say I love it The texture is the best lightweight and easy to apply with clean fingers no sponges required and the coverage is much better but still natural looking and feeling than I thought I would get with a tinted moisturizer Imanance comes in a no mess tube in both a regular and an oil free formula I opted for the regular but if you have oily skin you ll like the oil free better The color selection isn t as vast as most foundation colors but there is a good range of light to dark shades Over the past few months I ve had great fun re introducing myself to Avon Many of us still have childhood memories of Mom or Grandma using Avon lipstick or hand cream but Avon is trying and I think succeeding to break that image with products that are accessible and enticing to a younger generation After perusing the Avon catalog and the Avon web site I was really intrigued by one of their newer products called Lighten Up Undereye Treatment 14 50 Using anti oxidant vitamins like E A and C and a whole host of fancy sounding ingredients Lighten Up is supposed to actually make dark undereye circles less noticeable So does it really work After using Lighten Up faithfully every morning and night for 32 consecutive days I can honestly say that yes the darkest part of my dark circles has gotten lighter It s not overly dramatic but I definitely notice that I look more rested and I need less concealer in that area I can also honestly say that I did not change my lifestyle I did not get more sleep and I did not change my eating habits which could have skewed the results If you have chronic dark undereye circles that persist even after a good night s rest Lighten Up just might make a difference Even though my official testing period is over I plan to continue using Lighten Up to see if it lightens any further and because it s also a great moisturizing eye cream Avon s effort to attract a younger crowd is unmistakenably obvious in the color selection of a True Color Powder Eyeshadow Quad 5 25 that I tried recently Fun spring pastels like Vibrant Violet Liberated Lilac Spring Spirit and Sparkle in Quad 233 are a great alternative to basic and sometimes blah browns and grays Some people don t like multiple eye shadow colors in one compact for fear of never using them all but I say have fun with it I played with different combinations and found the smoothness and lasting power of the shadows to be fantastic At under 6 you really can t beat the quality and selection of colors with 14 different compacts in pinks plums peaches and even basic browns to suit anyone s taste No makeup look is complete in my book without a little lipstick so while sporting my pastel Avon eyes I decided to try Avon s Perfect Wear Lip Color in Shimmer Pink 6 00 What looked like a flattering light pink fushia shade in the Avon catalog turned out to be a super light frosty pearl pink that was much too light on my skin Fortunately a day at home turned into the perfect testing ground for the formula itself even if the color wasn t perfect on me Avon s Perfect Wear lipstick is like almost every other long wearing lipstick out there it really doesn t last all day If you eat or drink anything that is acidic or oily you re going to lose most of the color on your napkin I really did like the wonderfully smooth texture though It was easy to apply didn t bunch cake or crumble and I could reapply without having to take it all off and start over Of the many long wearing lipsticks out there Avon s Perfect Wear is a definite contender if I could just choose a better color To keep things interesting I always like to have some cosmetic item that I m searching for so after a not so hot color in Avon s lipstick my quest for a better color was on As the saying goes Ask and you shall receive and that s exactly what happened with the gorgeous red color of BeautiControl s Color Freeze long wearing lipstick in Siren 5 00 I really liked the texture and wearability of Color Freeze just as much as Avon s Perfect Wear also since it was a darker color it lasted a bit longer If you love a true red lipstick check this one out from BeautiControl For more information about Avon products check out their website at http www avon com BeautiControl

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT May 16 1997 After last week s first installment of self tanning product reviews and with so much more left to cover this week I am pleased to bring you Sunshine Central Part Two With my application technique all figured out and my expectations for color and texture in place from last week s products I knew just what I was getting myself into this time After such great success with Clarins Self Tanning Milk for the body I figured if I m going to tan my body I can t let my face stay pale right Again this is another fabulous tanning product from Clarins The Self Tanning Face Cream with SPF 15 US 25 is practically identical to the tanning milk for the body just with better SPF protection if you do go outside and a bit thicker consistency It also has a terrific sultry aroma and gorgeous brown color that starts light to allow you to build to the shade you want If you are as self tan shy as I was this product is a great choice that will make you change your mind I meet a lot of great people through Cosmetic Connection many of whom are representatives for various lines like Avon and Mary Kay When I was contacted by Jana from BeautiControl to sample some of their products I was intrigued and interested In addition to a few things I ll be reviewing in future reports sneak peek AHA lotion and a long wearing lipstick I really enjoyed testing BeautiControl s Sunlogics Sunless Tanning Lotion US 10 Aside from the realistic golden color and silky texture of the lotion I really appreciated the extremely subtle almost non existent fragrance I actually ended up returning the Garden Botanika tanning lotion I tested last week because I found the odor to be so offensive Thanks Jana for introducing me to BeautiControl and another great sunless tanning lotion For my final self tanner test I chose Clinique Self Tanning Body Balm US 14 50 on the recommendation of the saleswoman that it would be the most natural looking of their self tanning products Most of their others she said result in fairly dark color that might not suit someone who either hasn t tanned before or who has fair skin I really wanted to find something subtle that I could wear on my face and all over when I need just a little color and that wouldn t scream LOOK AT MY TAN That s just what I got with this product The pump dispenser is great for easy application and the balm itself is more moisturizing than most self tanning lotions I ve tried which is nice for a drier skin If you already tan you can also use this product as a daily moisturizer to soften your skin and help prolong your tan While I was at the Clinique counter picking out my self tanning balm I realized I was still looking for a good reasonably priced eye makeup remover that is gentle enough for contact lens wearers Was I ever disappointed with Rinse off Eye Makeup Remover US 11 I ve tried ones that have a slight tingle but this was an awful burning sensation that was definitely not what I had in mind as gentle What actually amazed me the most was the complete lack of surprise from the Clinique salesperson when I told her why I was returning it as if she expected it would burn like that Run don t walk from this product In between applying self tanners and looking for a better eye makeup remover I had the pleasure of trying even more new and sometimes interesting products this week The first from a company called English Ideas was one of just a few online purchases I ve ever made Their products are all targeted at lips from lipstick removers to conditioners and AHAs all designed to make your pout prettier I had heard their Lip Last lipstick sealant US 17 50 could make any lipstick last longer and feel better than any long wearing formula from lines like Revlon or L Oreal so I decided to find out When my package arrived I was surprised at how small the bottle of sealant really is a whopping 5 milliliters We re talking almost one third the size of an average bottle of nailpolish It does come in a cool little black satin carrying bag with a bunch of instruction cards inside but was it really worth 17 50 At this point I ll have to say no While it does keep lipstick from bleeding feathering and smearing as soon as I ate or drank anything at all the coating started peeling at the corners and edges of my lips taking little bits of lipstick with it If I tried reapplying my lipstick over the bare areas the lipstick would bunch up on the leftover bits of sealant The one positive about this product is that the coating feels much better than any long wearing lipstick I ve ever used and it gives a nice sheen to your lipstick If you are going to the office or out for the evening and you know you won t be consuming anything this product is great at preventing smudges or bleeding but that s about it Unfortunately the Lip Last sealant was only the first in a string of mediocre products this week Strike number two came with Cover Girl s new Natural Lash Darkener US 4 I m all for natural looking lashes so I was completely disappointed with the coating of goopy black blobs I got from this so called mascara alternative This product may not have the same fibers and thickeners as regular mascara but it clumps and smears just as badly Yuck Depending on your perspective this next product is either Strike Three or a Home Run If you agreed with me on my negative review of Lancome Teint Idole foundation then I m pretty sure you ll agree that L Oreal s new Colour Endure foundation US 9 is just as bad only without the nasty housepaint smell I found it to be pastey and almost impossible to spread or blend evenly Avoid avoid avoid If you didn t agree and you think Teint Idole is a great product Colour Endure is basically a less expensive version from pretty much the same company Lancome and L Oreal are both owned by Cosmair Inc You just might find a color that suits for you at almost a fourth of the price of Lancome 32

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT May 9 1997 Happy Friday from the Cosmetic Connection Thanks to dozens of reader requests for my personal picks for self tanners and sun protection products I am pleased to bring you a handful of product reviews to take some of the guesswork out of choosing the right sun care products for you One of the most important and easiest things you can do to protect your skin is use a sunscreen every day As great as the sun is its rays can do some nasty damage to the skin like brown sun spots sunburn wrinkles and acne Applying a sun protection product of at least SPF 8 but I prefer SPF 15 can significantly prevent this damage and keep your skin looking younger and smoother longer With so many products on the market from drugstore and surf shop brands to the more expensive department store lines choosing one that not only works well but also feels good on the skin can be a daunting task Personally I don t care if the sunscreen I use on my body is Coppertone Bullfrog or whatever as long as the SPF is sufficient for my day s activities and it doesn t smell terrible What I put on my face is a totally different story Considering that the skin on your face is more sensitive to environmental and hormonal changes and other cosmetics and that sun protection products designed for the body may contain oils or thickeners that you wouldn t want on your face I look for a product that is specifically designed for the face It has to give me the protection I want it can t aggravate my skin and it has to be multi purpose for any time of year Here s a handy guide to a few sunscreen products I like and how they perform Lancome Bienfait Total SPF 15 I ve found this to be an all around great product for just about any skin type If you are very oily this might feel too emollient but it does absorb quickly leaving no overly dewy residue behind I ve used this lotion both when my skin was normal to dry and normal to oily and had no problems with breakouts dryness or greasiness A bit spendy at 30 for the small size but it should last at least six months with daily use Basis Face the Day Lotion SPF 15 and Basis One Stop Face Cream Basis has recently launched a brand new assortment of cleansers and moisturizers in drug and discount stores that are good quality at a realistic price everything is under about 8 Although each one is labelled for a particular skin type I actually found the cream which leaves a slightly matte finish is actually better for somewhat oily skin while the lotion leaves the skin more dewy and is better for somewhat dry skin Both feel great on the skin and are terrific protection from the elements complete with SPF 15 and anti oxidant vitamins Clinique City Block SPF 15 tinted moisturizer The color is very subtle but if you like that makeup free look for summer and you want an easy one step product City Block makes a great choice for normal combination or normal to oily skin types I have used this in place of foundation before but it s a real stretch since the coverage is so sheer I like it the best for weekend activities or for anytime when I m just not in the mood to put on regular makeup Kiehl s Ultra Facial Moisturizer SPF 13 If your skin has a tendency to be a little more on the dry side this lotion from Kiehl s is a great product to hydrate and protect your skin at the same time The lightweight texture is perfect for everyday wear and it leaves the skin moist without any residue which can make your makeup bunch up or slide off Now that you re prepared to protect your skin from any damage the sun might do I bet you re thinking Hey What about my tan Summer just isn t summer without a tan Luckily just because you shouldn t bake at the beach all day doesn t mean you can t indulge in a little summer color How Self tanners I ll be the first to admit that I was petrified to test self tanning lotions for fear of turning bright orange Thankfully technology has come to the rescue with a new generation of sunless tanning products that actually make your skin look good I decided that if I was going to take the plunge I might as well start with the one that I heard was the best Clarins Self Tanning Milk with SPF 6 Every magazine has had it as an Editor s Choice product and every reader s poll I ve read on sun products puts Clarins at the top of the heap Now I know why Of all the sunless tanning lotions I tried the Clarins lotion made my skin look like I d just been on holiday in the Bahamas a smooth golden brown like I have never seen before Being as fair as I am the closest I typically come to a real tan is lobster red Clarins is also different from other brands in that it comes in only one color so it tans your skin according to how dark you are naturally and you can build from there to the color you want I found it really easy to apply and it smells terrific A definite winner My second try at a tan was using Physician s Formula Sunshield Sunless Tanning Lotion with SPF 20 I used the one for light to medium skin Again this lotion was easy to apply absorbed quickly so you can get dressed in about 20 minutes and didn t streak at all The color I got after one application was more golden yellow than the brown I got from Clarins but it still looked natural If you are looking for something more subtle this one from Physician s Formula is good for first time tanners I also like the SPF 20 sun protection since you ll probably want to show off your new tan outside I have mixed feelings about my next self tanner Garden Botanika Sun and Sport Self Tan Lotion for the Body with SPF 8 I used medium The color I got was a nice golden almost brown that I think looks most like what I would really look like after a day or two at the beach The one problem The lotion itself smells like stale bread If you don t mind the odor the color is nice and the texture is more like traditional sunscreen so it spreads easily and absorbs quickly This wouldn t be my first choice to buy again but it s still a good product There are so many more tanners to try particularly for the face so next week I ll be bringing you Self Tanners Round Two Stay tuned for

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT May 2 1997 Happy Friday and Happy May from the Cosmetic Connection After a little penny pinching in last week s report this week I bring you the flip side beauty indulgences that are actually worth splurging on Whether you want to try some of the new pastels for spring or you just want to treat yourself to something luxurious there is no shortage of expensive products to try When I think expensive I can t help but think of Chanel first While there may be more costly lines out there Chanel sticks in my mind as the luxury cosmetic line The hot colors for spring are fresh pastels that are soft and wearable and that s exactly what Chanel s new Satin Eye Colour creme shadow is about Soft colors like Blue Organza and Satin Mint are in the moment and ready to wear all for a decadent 30 a tube I indulged in Satin Mint a sheer seafoam green and was pleasantly surprised at how well it goes with more neutral shades like beige and taupe If you love Chanel and are dying for pastels these cream shadows are soft long lasting and easy to use even if you never wear eye shadow After whetting my pastel appetite at Chanel I made my way over to Smash Box to check out their new collection of cream eye shadows Purple is my all time favorite color so when I spotted Smashing Lilac I knew I d found my next indulgence I must say I love the color but considering it s called Creme Shadow this shadow isn t really all that creamy It was a bit difficult to apply especially with my fingers rather than a brush and it had a tendency to bunch up a bit The color did set well and lasted all day without creasing so maybe a drier texture isn t so bad after all If you spot a great color like I did it can be 18 well spent To complete my very hip pastel eyes I decided for the first time ever to indulge in a department store mascara Never in my life had I spent more than 5 for mascara until I surrendered 16 to the Bobbi Brown counter for a tube of their regular not thickening mascara in Black This formula is so natural looking and clump free giving me nice long lashes without any annoying blobs and goo that I could actually imagine buying this again It didn t smear it didn t flake and it didn t rub off all day Hooray With my eyes now looking their best I decided something more neutral for my lips would make for a good contrast I wanted something quick and easy but creamy and long lasting The latest color plus liner from Clinique caught my eye and again I was drawn in by a particular color This time it was Vanilla Brownie a soft chocolately brown shade of Clinique s new Chubby Stick lipstick crayon 12 50 The Chubby Sticks also come in the usual brownish pinks and nude tones but I have too many colors like those already No matter what color you choose Clinique s new Chubby Sticks are a great choice for creamy color in an easy to use stick With my spring color palette almost complete I realized I need a good moisturizer to go under it all that will do everything I want it to in one easy step moisturize the dry spots control any excess oil provide adequate sun protection and maybe even exfoliate In keeping with my search for luxury products I marched right back to Chanel and found Day Lift Plus Multi Hydroxy Refining Lotion SPF 8 in both a regular and oil free version Thankfully they had samples I could try first shelling out 48 50 for a moisturizer I ve never tried isn t indulgent it s silly I really liked both versions but for everyday in the summer I would chose the oil free It doesn t have quite as much sun protection as I like but the texture is lightweight and it absorbs quickly I can think of other lotions I like better than this Lancome Bienfait Total SPF 15 Basis Face the Day Lotion SPF 15 but this is a nice product if you are a faithful Chanel user The one little luxury that I wasn t so thrilled with was Prescriptives All You Need Oil Free Action Moisturizer 32 50 I think the regular formula for normal skin would be better for my normal to oily combination skin because this oil free version is really designed for a truly oily skin It was great at controlling shine but it doesn t deliver much moisture for any non oily areas The other strike against this product is the complete lack of sun protection If you have oily skin and like a super lightweight gel lotion for night or for day if you get sun protection from another product this All You Need doesn t quite live up to its name but it s still a nice product Thanks to everyone for the flood of questions about sunscreens and self tanning products Next week The Cosmetic Report will be Sunshine Central bringing you reviews of some popular sunscreens and self tanners just in time for summer The Makeup Diva is In I ve gotten

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT April 25 1997 Although getting samples from department store cosmetic counters is always fun actually buying the products I try can be a major hit to my wallet Thankfully there s a growing number of sources for great cosmetics and skin care at more reasonable prices This week my mission was to find products that perform just as well or better than the expensive brands at a much better price With summer only a few months away it s about that time to start thinking about how best to get and keep your skin in good condition The new sheer pastel colors and new more natural looking sunless tanning products all call for your face to be smooth and polished to look its best Even though I use an AHA product every night I also like to use a regular manual scrub from time to time for a more immediate effect Finding something gentle but still effective had always been a challenge until I tried Avon s Skin Refiner Gentle Action Scrub 8 What a find Gentle little wax beads do the work for you so your skin looks fresh and glowing without stripping or drying A definite buy After the success I had with Maybelline s new Great Wear foundation I had to know if the Great Wear concealer would be just as good I must have half a dozen concealers in my makeup bag but none of them is as all purpose as I d like For around 5 Maybelline s Great Wear concealer is terrific for everything from dark undereye circles little and not so little red spots blemishes and even broken capillaries Since it is a long wearing product it sets very quickly so you have to blend the concealer right after applying it Once it s set it lasts all day without fading or caking Finally a concealer for everything One of my pet peeves with most long wearing lipstick formulas like Revlon ColorStay and L Oreal Colour Endure is that they are way too dry and crumbly and they don t last any better than regular lipstick When I heard from a reader that Christian Dior s new long wearing lipstick Rouge Incorruptible was absolutely fabulous I hoped this product would change my mind While the colors are beautiful and the attached brush is convenient the amount of work required to actually make Rouge Incorruptible work is to me absurd It must go directly on your lips to bond with them Then if it should wear off which it did for me you have to completely remove every trace of it before reapplying Christian Dior claims the lipstick can t bond to itself so you have to start from scratch every time you need to touch up the color I found touch ups necessary almost constantly throughout the day after eating or drinking anything If I applied the lipstick over itself it crumbled into tiny bits like globs of paint As if this isn t torture enough Christian Dior wants 22 50 for this product If you are still curious about Rouge Incorruptible try it on first at the counter and wear it around for a while Hopefully you won t have the same disastrous results that I did My Christian Dior incident led me on a mini quest for a long wearing lipstick that I might actually like and I found Cover Girl s new Marathon lipstick The range of colors is still fairly small but the texture is super smooth it does last much longer than regular lipstick and it doesn t crumble or cake up Hooray All this for under 5 what more could a girl want The Makeup Diva is In Have you ever

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT April 4 1997 Happy Friday and Happy April from the Cosmetic Connection The results from the second Cosmetic Connection 10 Challenge are in These great drugstore products seriously make me wonder why I buy some of my cosmetics at the department store counters Read on Before I even arrived at Drug Emporium to start my search I knew one thing I had to try Maybelline s new Great Wear foundation Before seeing the product I was skeptical not only of the color selection but of just how well it would wear on my skin Would it be dry and crumbly Thick and oily Would it take industrial strength cleanser to get it off Luckily all of my anxiety was laid to rest after my first day of wearing it I found a great color match from the testers bought Ivory for just 1 73 used two 1 50 off coupons wore it everyday for 6 days and loved it The color was great the texture was really easy to blend it had great coverage it set to a nice natural finish it lasted all day without caking creasing or melting and it washed off at the end of the day with regular cleanser If you find a good color that matches your skin this foundation is a terrific product even at full price that I would highly recommend for any skin type The second product I already knew I wanted to try was from a reader s suggestion Aziza s new eye shadow trio 3 44 I wanted the colors to be soft and basic for everyday wear that I could also mix and match with colors I already have I chose Daily News a set with light beige medium taupe brown and dark chocolate brown Although the richness and pigment of the colors wasn t quite as good as say Bobbi Brown Stila or MAC the colors were soft very blendable and lasted for most of the day Using a few good quality eye shadow brushes not the dinky sponge tip applicator it comes with really helps to pack the color on so you can get longer wear One benefit I found with the colors being so soft is that you can really use them anywhere on the eye try the light color on the lid on the browbone or all over use the medium shade on the lid in the crease or as liner experiment with the darker shade on the lid in the crease and as liner This shadow trio is another great find that comes in a variety of color combinations to suit everyone s taste I ve never been much of blush wearer until recently when I saw some photographs of myself wearing makeup but still looking incredibly pale Maybe it was time for me to add a little color to my face For my first time out I wanted something soft natural and not cotton candy pink Since I ve found some nice colors at Jane before I decide to give Blushing Cheeks 2 29 a try in Blushing Glow This isn t the lightest of colors so I applied it very lightly with a large brush just to the apples of my cheeks and blended and voila instant healthy color If you re looking for an inexpensive but good quality blush you really can t beat Blushing Cheeks from Jane As I neared my 10 limit I wanted my last item to be something useful but unusual something I would wear but would probably not normally buy After hearing that Nat Robbins makes some great lip and eye pencils I made my way over to the Nat Robbins display and selected the Mechanical Definer Lipliner 2 47 Rather than trying to match a liner to the myriad of lipsticks I own I decided on Totally Nude a neutral color close to my natural lip color that would go with anything While the mechanical version does take some getting used to over the traditional sharpen it yourself variety I really liked the smooth texture and staying power of this liner I could wear it with light colored lipsticks sheer glosses and even clear lip balm without feeling like I had an obvious ring around my mouth Another winner For all four products with a little help from one store and one manufacturer s coupon for the foundation the total came just under 10 at 9 93 Is that a great deal or what If you ve got your own 10 Challenge you d like to share email me The best one will get mentioned in a future Cosmetic Report Although trying the 10 Challenge products kept me pretty busy this week I did make time to try Lancome s newest foundation Teint Idole another member of the so called long wearing makeup family It ended up being a great comparison between Lancome and Maybelline Great Wear After testing Teint Idole for just one day I knew I didn t like it The color was all wrong the salesperson gave me a sample of Porcelain D Ivoire which was way too yellow for me it was hard to blend it smelled like housepaint it wore off of my forehead and cheeks by mid afternoon and it made my chin break out in tiny little blackheads All this misery for a whopping 32 50 Not only did the Maybelline Great Wear outperform Teint Idole by a long shot but even my regular foundations wear better and last longer than this Lancome is doing free samples of Teint Idole all this month so if you are still curious try it for yourself and see what you think As for me you couldn t pay me to put this stuff on my face again Since my trip to New York City last month and my great success with several Kiehl s samples I ventured back to the Kiehl s counter at my local Saks Fifth Avenue to see what they had in facial scrubs Since my skin is fairly normal a little oily in the T zone but sensitive the Kiehl s representative recommended their Pineapple Papaya Facial Scrub with real fruit 26 50 and gave me a few samples to try She said the fruit enzymes in the pineapple and papaya would actually do a good amount of the exfoliating naturally so I wouldn t have to really scrub at all While the base of the scrub a gel like paste that slightly foams was nice the tiny scrub grains were a little too rough on my skin I m not sure how much exfoliating the fruit could actually do unless I left it on my face for a long time so this scrub really didn t work for me All things considered this scrub seems fine for someone with oily skin who really wants that scrubbing feeling but it s a little rough for the rest of us Last but certainly not least I am pleased to announce that the winners of March s Cosmetic Connection Beauty Pack drawing are Maggie Hatem

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT March 28 1997 For those of you who have been Cosmetic Report subscribers since the beginning I m sure you ll remember our first 10 Challenge The goal of the 10 Challenge was to see just how far 10 could go at my local drugstore This week I am excited to introduce a new crop of products for our second 10 Challenge Maybelline Great Wear foundation 1 73 used two 1 50 off coupons Nat Robbins Mechanical lip liner 2 47 Jane Blushing Cheeks 2 29 Aziza Daily News eye shadow trio 3 44 Total 9 93 In next week s report read my full reviews of these incredible bargains and which ones are worth adding to your cosmetic bag After reviewing Revive the super antioxidant cream from California company Lite Cosmetics from The Cosmetic Report December 27 and really liking it I was thrilled to receive their eye wrinkle cream 14 95 in the mail last week Although I have never seen drastic results from an eye cream this one is nicely moisturizing and very lightweight It has no fragrance no added colors and you need the tiniest of dabs to cover the entire eye area If you are looking for a good basic eye cream that s gentle enough even for contact lens wearers this one from Lite Cosmetics is a good choice After my terrific complimentary Clarins mini facial a few weeks ago I got to take home a few samples of their Multi Active Day Cream 45 00 and Body Lift 45 00 to see what I thought of the products Despite the fact that I can t see myself spending over 40 for a moisturizer the Multi Active Day Cream was a nice product that is lightly moisturizing and leaves a semi matte finish For someone with slightly oily or combination skin this cream could be a good choice It doesn t deliver much sun protection however only SPF 5 or 6 For overall texture moisturizing benefits and sun protection I still like Kiehl s Ultra Facial Moisturizer SPF 13 or Lancome Bienfait Total SPF 15 better As many of you know I m not much of a believer in miracle creams that claim to lift firm and erase everything we don t like about our bodies Even so I am always intrigued by the advertisements for Clarins Body Lift 45 00 a cream gel that is supposed to diminish the appearance of cellulite Of course Clarins tells you right in the product literature that a healthy diet and regular exercise are key to seeing real change but I was curious about what this gel could do by itself I have a pretty healthy diet but I hate to exercise so I felt like a good candidate to try Body Lift for myself After two weeks of using the product samples on my target area my skin is smoother like it would be with a good moisturizer but that s about it Body Lift does have a refreshing citrus fragrance and a tingling feeling on the skin to make you think it s working but I have yet to see any significant lifting or firming I do plan to continue using the product for a full month to see if there are any better results but at this point I m not convinced enough to spend 45 on a moisturizer As far as drugstore makeup goes I think Jane products are a great value and a fun way to try something new without killing your wallet Everything from foundation to makeup brushes are typically under 3 at most major drugstores and cosmetic outlets This week after receiving a flyer in the mail for new products at my local Drug Emporium I rushed down to see their brand new items from Jane Outer Limits mascara Writeaway concealer pencil and a new flip lipstick in some pretty in the moment colors all 2 27 I really like the Writeaway concealer pencil the best of the three Its smooth yet slightly dry texture made it easy to apply on red spots or blemishes but it s dry enough to stay put during the day without smearing or melting The flip lipstick comes in as my second favorite for great creamy texture and long wear but not for the color selection Unless you are under 25 years old these colors will not work at the office or at family functions The best choice I could find that wasn t pale beige too light for me gold or shocking pink was Strobe Light a medium shade of purple that looks a bit like grape juice Great for a night on the town but that s about it If you can find a color you like that you would actually wear this is a nice lipstick at a great price Last and really least was the Outer Limits mascara I imagined with a name like outer limits it would make my lashes look ridiculously long right Wrong While it worked well to define each lash without clumping I really had to work to make my lashes look like I was wearing mascara at all If a mascara could make my lashes look shorter this one did Even at a mere 2 27 I can t recommend this mascara over some other great choices like Jane s other mascara Flashes or L Oreal Voluminous Thank you to everyone who participated in last week s Cosmetic Poll The results were really fascinating The question was How often do you change your skin care routine This means not just adding products to what you already use but a complete change from one system to another Here are the top 5 responses Never most will experiment with cosmetics but not skin care Once a year or more most say they change every season Once every 6 months Used to change often until discovering the line they use now Has used one line faithfully for a long time I m glad to hear so many of you have found skin care that really works for you Before I started Cosmetic Connection for which I try new products all the time I used to change my skin care routine just about every season to accommodate changes in my skin type Since we all like to experiment with new colors be sure to check out a brand new Product Panel review from Kanita our newest panelist from Chicago Her review of Stila is a must read SHOP Get

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT March 21 1997 Have you ever tried to read the ingredient label on your favorite cleanser or moisturizer and found it to be next to impossible to understand Cosmetic Connection s new March Feature Cosmetic Ingredients Deciphering Cosmetic Labels is your personal ingredient decoder Learn the difference between cocamide DEA and polypropylene glycol and why finding hyaluronic acid in your moisturizer is actually a good thing Spring is definitely in the air and after my MAC seminar and one on one makeover last week I was ready to add some fun new spring colors to my makeup wardrobe At the top of the list is MAC s new eye shadow Vex It looks light green in the container but when you put it on it changes from sea foam green to peach to pink all depending on the light It s soft and slightly shimmery definitely an in the moment color My personal pick for new MAC lipstick to go with Vex is Skew a soft slightly shimmery pink with subtle hints of peach and no brown yay From my one on one makeover I also got the chance to experience MAC s EP T tinted moisturizer 28 The EP T in my usual foundation color C2 together with a light dusting of my Studio Fix powder gave me a flawless finish that was slightly dewy without being cakey or thick For those of you who already use MAC foundations EP T is available in all the same colors and it s a great choice for lighter coverage or for warmer weather when you might not want a full foundation There is a hint of sunscreen in this moisturizer only about an SPF 5 or 6 so make sure to use your regular sunscreen underneath for better protection After my MAC seminar but before my one on one makeover I had yet another fabulous and pampering experience last week to conclude my week of beauty a free mini facial at the Clarins counter After a thorough consultation with the Clarins skin care specialist we determined that my skin is normal and just needs to be cared for to prevent periodic breakouts I was surprised to hear my skin called normal but according to Clarins normal skin feels comfortable in the morning and throughout the day and can have some oiliness in the T zone my mid to late afternoon which is what mine does Hmmm Sounds reasonable to me After my consultation we were ready for the facial My skin was thoroughly cleansed with Cleansing Milk with Alpine Herbs toned with Toning Lotion for dry or normal skin purified with Purifying Plant Facial Mask and moisturized with Multi Active Day Cream Even though this wasn t a full facial no steaming extractions or special treatments I really felt relaxed and refreshed afterwards This service is totally free from Clarins so if you see signs for the mini facial event at your local Clarins counter make an appointment and go treat yourself At the beginning of my Clarins mini facial the skin care specialist used their Eye Make up Remover Lotion as an eye refresher treatment and it felt really cool and soothing I decided to give it a try at home It has a nice rosewater fragrance and removes eye makeup very thoroughly and quickly Since it contains no oil there s no greasy residue and it doesn t irritate the eyes even if you wear contact lenses One word of caution however it s easy to use too much and go through the bottle rather quickly After only four days almost one third of my bottle is empty If you ve been following my continuing story of successful Kiehl s testing you ll be pleased to hear about another nice alcohol free toner from Kiehl s Their Herbal Toner with Mixed Berries and Extracts 10 95 for 4 ounces has a fruity aroma and a slightly astringent quality that makes it good for someone with normal normal to oily or combination skin I ve found that all three toners I ve tried from Kiehl s Calendula Cucumber and Herbal with berries are all good choices so it s really a matter of personal preference I like the Cucumber the best for its subtle fragrance and cooling feeling on the skin

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT March 14 1997 After a terrific visit to New York City last week I am pleased to now bring you the results of testing my many Kiehl s samples Rare Earth Oatmeal Milk Cleanser 1 Mild I was a little surprised when the Kiehl s rep in NYC recommended this cleanser for my skin All winter my skin had been normal to dry but now that spring is just about here my skin has been acting more combination slightly oily in the T zone and unfortunately prone to a few breakouts This cleanser is designed for normal to oily skin and contains kaolin and bentonite clays to help absorb oil It really works well on my skin without making it feel dried out which surprised me considering it contains clay I also like that it s a creamy consistency rather than something that lathers which can be stripping If you have combination or normal to oily skin this cleanser is a good choice that s a nice change from most cleansers that are more lather intensive Calendula Herbal Extract Toner Toners fall into two groups for me these days ones that feel good and ones that don t This one felt nice on my skin but when I checked my Kiehl s price list I couldn t believe they wanted 18 50 for a little 4 ounce bottle I mean this toner is nice and it does have whole flowers and herbs in it but I just can t justify paying over 4 50 an ounce for it I decided to investigate alternatives Cucumber Herbal Alcohol free Toner When I got back from NYC I decided after trying the Calendula toner that it would be nice to find one a little less expensive so I paid a visit to my local Kiehl s counter at Saks This Cucumber toner is soothing and it has a nice clean fragrance If you are looking for a basic non drying toner this one is a good choice and priced better at 8 50 for 4 ounces Don t let the label for dry and sensitive skin fool you it s good for any skin type Ultra Facial Moisturizer Although my forehead nose and chin can get a little oily as we get closer to summer I still need a light moisturizer all over to protect and soothe my skin I really liked this moisturizer both the regular version and the one with SPF 13 sunscreen They are both lightweight and absorb quickly and they left my skin feeling incredibly soft and silky What I found fascinating is how this moisturizer provided the boost of moisture my skin needed in NYC when it was cold and windy just as well as it keeps my skin comfortable and soft in warmer temperatures Lip Balm 1 This lip balm is a Kiehl s must have The mix of plant oils vitamin E vitamin A aloe in a creamy base is great for moisturizing and protecting your lips even in the nastiest weather A great buy at 4 50 a tube All in all I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked all the Kiehl s products I tried If you are interested in find out out more about Kiehl s you can give them a call at 1 800 KIEHLS 1 or 1 800 KIEHLS 2 They are great at helping you choose the right products for your skin My First MAC seminar I almost couldn t believe that after using MAC products for almost two years now I had never been to one of their seminars This one at my local Nordstrom was to kick off MAC s new colors for spring which include some wild eye colors like Tilt blue Theme red pink Fiction silver gray Brill white gray and Frame deep plum pink and lip colors like Ionic pale gray Jet purple black Bubbles whitish pink and Skew sheer pink coral that need to be seen to be believed The evening started with a video of the new spring colors used on models at recent fashion shows in NYC for the spring collections from some pretty hip designers Then after a small snack we were ready to get down to business The two MAC artists running the seminar chose two women from the group to be models guinea pigs if you will one to demonstrate a conservative but still hip look and one to get a more wild look The rest of looked on took notes and asked lots of questions I found it was great to see the different application techniques of the two artists as well as how the techniques and colors worked on two very different models one woman was probably in her fifties and suffered from acne rosacea while the other model was twenty something with perfect porcelain skin Here a few handy tips I picked up A makeup brush with stiff bristles like sable will pick up more color and deposit it more heavily on your skin than a brush with softer bristles To remove excess powder from your brush tap it off rather than blowing it off since blowing introduces the germs from your mouth onto the brush yuck Mascara can look natural but still make your lashes look thicker if you concentrate the majority of the color at the very base of the lashes and less on the tips Using a concealer on puffy under eye bags not dark circles can actually make them more noticeable since light colors make things stand out while dark colors appear to recede Seeing the new colors on the models and picking up a few hints here and there was really the best part of the seminar for me We also got a cool desk calendar with wild photos of models wearing the new colors If you have a chance to attend one of these seminars I d really recommend it both for fun and for learning some new techniques SHOP Get what you need plus save time and money beauty books Beauty books fashion magazines Fashion Style Magazines

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT March 7 1997 After an incredible week in New York City I am pleased to bring you my full report on the stores I visited the lines I saw and the great and not so great products I tried From Fifth Avenue to the Village here s the play by play From the very beginning I knew my main objective in NYC was to see those more exclusive lines that aren t available yet in Oregon like Lorac Laura Mercier and Face Stockholm I was also interested in visiting the Kiehl s store in Greenwich Village for the true Kiehl s experience What I never expected was just how different the department stores in NYC would be compared to what I am used to Talk about fancy If you ever have a chance to visit NYC don t miss Henri Bendel and Bergdorf Goodman for the ultimate shopping experience Kiehls My first cosmetic stop was at the Kiehl s store in Greenwich Village Quaint and unassuming Kiehl s looks like an old fashioned apothecary stocked to the brim with a huge assortment of hair and skin care products including must haves like Creme with Silk Groom and Lip Balm Even though the store was bustling with shoppers of all ages the Kiehl s staff was readily accessible friendly and very knowledgeable about their products After a brief skin consultation I received samples of the cleanser toner and moisturizer that should best suit my skin Rare Earth Oatmeal Milk Cleanser 1 Calendula Toner and Ultra Facial Moisturizer in both SPF 13 and non sunscreen versions Kiehl s philosophy is not to just sell you products but to help you find the products that are right for you through sampling yay Look for complete reviews of the skin care samples as well as samples of hair styling products Shine n Lite very good so far and Wet Look Groom coming to Cosmetic Connection over the next few weeks If you find yourself in NYC absolutely don t miss the Kiehl s store on Third Avenue in the East Village Lorac by Carol Shaw I had been curious about Lorac since reading about the oil free foundation in In Style magazine last March At the Lorac counter at Henri Bendel department store Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan a makeup artist from France was on hand to help me with colors and application Although I couldn t find a good foundation color match for my skin the M1 I tried wasn t quite right the texture was smooth and blended easily I had better luck with the concealer eye shadow and lip colors The concealer comes in tiny round pot can be used with your finger or a concealer brush has a very creamy and blendable consistency and comes in a good range of colors I got C1 The eye shadow colors in Pewter CT Brown Beige and Charcoal were very pretty but they creased badly by the end of the day I really liked the lipgloss I tried in Amethyst a sheer raspberry color that was glossy and nicely emollient All in all I m glad I saw Lorac and picked up some products that really worked for me One word of advice Don t let them charge you 50 for a makeover even though the fee goes toward product I got around it by asking to try the products one item at a time Face Stockholm Although the upscale department stores were incredible to see I had the most fun and success at the Face Stockholm store on Prince Street in Soho The best part of going to Face was my terrific shopping companion Pam from the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel Pam and I had a great time choosing colors and exchanging tips and techniques Thanks for the fun Pam Face is a Swedish line that has been around for over 10 years in Sweden and in NYC since 1989 Their easy to use displays of colors tools and brushes makes it really simple and fun to experiment with anything you want I was greeted right away by one of the artists and she helped me select a good foundation shade Oyster in their Matte formula I really liked this foundation and the color was great on me After applying my base I was ready to fill in the rest of my canvas with eye shadow and lipstick Pam helped me choose eye shadows in Platina a grayish slate blue that luckily looks more gray than blue on and Joy one of Pam s favorites and now mine a real chameleon color that looks sort of plum in the container but looked more like a grayish plum brown on my blue eyes There are tons of eye shadow colors to choose from at Face from matte classic browns to ultra shiny loose iridescent reds so take your time browsing and playing Picking a lipstick was more of a challenge the first one I tried Matte Brick was too red for me then the second Fresh Plum was darker than what I was looking for One thing to keep in mind is that the matte formula lipstick can be quite dry and crumbly so if you fall in love with one of the matte colors be sure to moisturize those lips beforehand Since I liked my foundation and eye shadow choices very much I didn t really think to find out the prices until I was ready to pay I was amazed at how reasonable everything was for a boutique store 19 for foundation and 12 for eye shadow 14 for lipstick I even got a free bottle of nail polish with my purchase a sassy fushia red color 12 If you find yourself in the Soho Greenwich Village area of the NYC I highly recommend visiting Face Stockholm for a truly fun cosmetic experience Laura Mercier On my second visit to Henri Bendel department store I decided to try Laura Mercier Classique After her involvement in Madonna s makeup for Evita it seems Laura Mercier has been on everyone s minds lately I was most interested in trying the oil free foundation and secret camouflage concealer but I ended up getting a full makeover I have to admit I was slightly disappointed with my experience Although many of the colors seemed very nice and the foundation texture creamy and smooth the artist applied everything so heavily that it all looked pastey and just plain bad The eye shadows in Buttercream Vanilla Nut and Twilight Gray were nice and they did last all night but the look was ruined by a very heavy application of black eye liner at the base of my lashes Even that night after washing my face several times it took me two days to get all the black liner off The Warm Ivory foundation was a nice color not quite a perfect match for me too yellow but she laid it on so thick that I couldn t wait to blend it out when I got back to my hotel The artist that did my makeover was very nice and really seemed to know what she was doing so I can t understand why she felt the need to turn me into a mask of makeup The only product I really liked was the mascara but I refuse to pay 16 50 for something I have to throw away in 3 months My best advice with Laura Mercier is to try the cosmetics on by yourself without an artist helping you They have some beautiful colors that are worth seeing as long as they are applied to look natural As you can see my trip to NYC was really incredible I hope you enjoyed the report Next week I will resume my usual programming with more cosmetic reviews and tips and

COSMETIC REPORT NEWSLETTER THE COSMETIC REPORT February 28 1997 Since starting Cosmetic Connection and The Cosmetic Report I can hardly remember what it s like to have a regular skin care routine Trying so many different products means a different routine from week to week My last attempt to have something regular Origins skin care pair for sensitive skin ended up getting returned because the products started to dry my face out This week I gave it another shot with products from Lancome designed for normal to dry sensitive skin I ve found that after trying so many different cleansers and toners from a variety of lines my decision to buy or not to buy really comes down to personal preference Just like many other cleansers Lancome s Galatee Douceur worked well to remove all my makeup it dissolved mascara very quickly without rubbing and left my face feeling soft and clean It is a milky cream formula best for someone with dry patches or an overall dry skin The Tonique Douceur was also similar to many other alcohol free toners I ve tried It has a slightly sweet floral fragrance and it would probably be good for any skin type unless you are very oily and are looking for something more astringent In addition to trying the basic cleanser and toner I have also been testing Lancome s Bienfait Total SPF 15 lotion and their new Primordiale Yeux Visibly Revitalizing Eye Treatment since February 16th Over the 12 days of using both products I ve been really happy with Bienfait Total It is a lightweight lotion with a good daily sunscreen that I ve found is a great transition product for spring from my heavier winter creams Since it is lightweight I can use it all over my face without my forehead or chin getting shiny but it is still moisturizing enough for my cheeks My skin is going back to combination normal to dry cheeks and slightly oily T zone so spring must be on the way Primordiale Yeux however did not impress me I m really not convinced that it has done anything to change the fine lines and beginning wrinkles around my eyes For that matter I m not convinced that any eye cream can really do that This one from Lancome is a fine moisturizer for the eye area but that s about it If you can get a sample try it just for fun but it s really not worth 40 After trying Chanel s Teint Caresse Naturel foundation last week I decided my foundation investigation was only just starting This week I used my coupon from the March issue of Allure magazine for a free sample of Estee Lauder s new Futurist Age Resisting Makeup SPF 15 My first thought was How age resisting can a foundation really be Don t buy this foundation if you think it s going to somehow prevent wrinkles because it won t What it will do is give women with normal to dry skin sheer to medium coverage that blends easily can be built to more full coverage and looks fairly natural throughout the day Make sure to have someone at Estee Lauder help you though because the colors in the bottles look much darker than they appear on your face This foundation was a little to rich for my taste and it would definitely be too heavy for someone with any oily patches Last week I mentioned that I had some exciting news to share with you Next Friday I will bring you a full report on my week of cosmetic adventures in New York City From the most expensive and exquisite department stores to
