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.
