Who's Your Caddy?

I'll bet you thought we'd be sneaking out today to see Sex and the City. Not quite, we've got more of a love/hate relationship with that quartet. Forgive us if we're still skeptical about the fact that SATC purports to let you in to the inner workings of the female mind when it was written and directed by a man.

Instead of sitting around though, we've taken up early morning power walks with our new fave accessory - the Fitness Caddy by BVT. This genius case keeps our bottled water cold, our keys handy and even has room for a cell phone or wallet. Patricia Field might not approve, but this baby is our new purse du jour. $19.99 on eBags.

Don't Be Afraid To Change

My mom is one tough broad, and whenever I try to gently change her mind about something, she responds: 'This is who I am. I can't change.' I'm not sure I believe it though, I mean c'mon, people change all the time - even brands change. Nexcare, the bandage people have an entirely new series of bandages that have features like diamond shapes, or Active bandages with extra cushions for athletes.

The ones I like best are the Heavy Duty Flexible Fabric - the tag line? 'Ultra tough yet conforming.' You hear that mom?

C Life

We're not ashamed to admit that we're total suckers not only for inappropriate pop culture references, but also for interesting brands with even more interesting stories. Imagine our delight then to discover c'watre (sea water- get it?) oceanic (like on Lost) skin care. We're most impressed with the Kanreki Serum (sounds like something Indiana Jones would try to rescue) a "mineral cocktail" (think Sex and the City for your face) that contains modified seawater infused with 78 nanonutrients and restores your youthful skin and expels toxins.

Sorry, no more clever comments - we're too busy marveling at our gorgeous, glowing faces!

Love Is In The Air

In recent years there's been a boom of skin care created from the mud and minerals from the Dead Sea in Israel which is one of the most mineral rich spots on earth. Our long time fave has always been Ahava (Hebrew for love) and apparently, Kristin Davis is a huge fan too. Right now we're digging the Purifying Mud Mask which seems to pull all those grody blackheads to the surface leaving our noses clean and pure. $28.00 on Amazon.

You Gotta Have Faith

So maybe George Michael didn't sing our all time fave on the AI finals the other night, but we still have faith - in cute accessories. Our new product crush is the tattoo inspired pillbox from retro inspired artist Karyn Cantor $18.00 at Uncommon Goods.

Take A Powder

We're not big fans of PETA and their shock tactics, but that doesn't mean that you'll catch us flouncing around in a mink stole. Be that as it may, we love us some luxurious sable makeup brushes, and are dazzled by Sonia Kashuk for Target's newest powder brush. The contoured shape makes it easy to hold, and the rounded shape ensures that your bronzer or translucent powder goes on sheer as can be. $19.99 at Tar-Jay.

A Rose (And Geranium) By Any Other Name

It's a battle as old as time, no it's not good vs. evil but more like oily T-zone vs. dry patchy areas. Lucky for us HollyBeth's natural handcrafted skin care has not only the most adorable website ever (seriously, check it out) but all natural products that soften the dry spots and don't goo up the greasy ones. Try the Rose and Geranium Face Cream which contains ingredients like, um, Oil of Geranium and Rose Geranium. $45.00 for 4 oz.

Micro-(Soft)

So maybe we were a bit premature in suggesting that you break out the Manolos just yet. A quick glance at our own feet revealed chipped polish and callouses on every conceivable surface. Lucky for us the XL Pro Foot File from Microplane landed on our desk. This giant foot file sloughs off tough skin and leaves you with smooth, soft, Manolo ready feet.

Who knew that we'd be recommending that you buy your beauty products from a company that also makes cheese graters, $29.95 at Microplane.

Your Pedicure Pal

Winter has not been kind to our feet. Between Uggs for everything from grocery runs to work to gym, our feet have gotten used to a little added cushion every day. Suddenly it's spring! Cute shoes are cropping up everywhere. Strippy strappy sandals abound and our feet are nowhere near ready, worse- we've all but forgotten how to walk in our highest heels.

Ms. Bradshaw and company may be used to strutting in their stilettos, but we find that our tootsies get temperamental and cry out for relief after even a short walk in our Choos.

To the rescue is ALCiS, a genius new topical pain relief cream that soothes our sore feet, doesn't smell funny (in fact it's packed with botanicals) and doesn't leave our feet feeling funky. $20.00 for a 2 oz. size at Walgreens.

Kiss Kiss

When contemplating that first kiss with a special someone there's so much to take into account.

Fresh breath? Check, got the Altoids right here baby.
Drool control? Always a good idea, though that man is in fact slobber worthy.
Smooth, kissable flake-free lips? You betcha- courtesy of The Lip Scrub by Sara Happ. We almost didn't want to open this delicious brown box, but are so happy that we did. Our lips are soft and sweet and ready for that special someone. Ahem. I said - we are soooo ready for that special someone. Our favorite is Almond Creme - buy yours here for $20.00.

Hair Play

Here's something I haven't told too many people- I haven't cut my hair since last summer. It isn't that I haven't had the opportunity- quite the opposite in fact, when you're a beauty writer everyone wants to cut your hair. I've just started taking a very Zen attitude towards my grooming - all live and let grow (and grow, and grow) and that sort of thing.

The strange thing is that my hair looks better than ever. It also looks a lot like the way it did when I was in high school- only back then I was spending hours each day twisting, and blow drying and otherwise torturing it into place. These days though, I have one and only one holy grail product - Hair Play Set which is part detangler (oh how I yearn for the days of Johnson and Johnson No More Tears detangler) part setting spray and part leave-in conditioner all in one bottle - all this for under 20 bucks.

Turn That Frownie Upside Downie

Are you having a hard time recognizing your fave actresses lately? Between botox, restylane and the unfortunate cast of modern cosmetic procedures they've all started looking like Jocelyn Wildenstein's younger sisters.

Well, if you've been plagued by pesky wrinkles but aren't of the mind to nip or tuck anything, you'll love Frownies new Face Lift in a bag. Frownies are those incredibly low tech face stickies that keep you from frowning in your sleep. This new collection costs under $100.00 and also includes a complexion wash, hydrator spray, and Frownies facial patches for nearly every part of your face. You probably won't look as preternaturally radiant as Morgan Fairchild, but you also won't have to face a scalpel or oddly shaped pouches of silicon.

Hairy Scary

So, you're sneaking that final peek in the mirror before your big night out, when you spot a dark smudge above your upper lip. On closer reflection you realize that what you thought were a few faint hairs are actually a burgeoning mustache. While not as lush as Tom Selleck's in his Magnum P.I. days, this is definitely not the kind of facial foliage that will go over big with your boyfriend.

Faster than a speeding aesthetician, Veet Salon Line of ready to use wax strips will leave your fuzzy bits bare and beautiful and ready for some serious lip locking. (and can also be used on bikini area to tame those strays).

Orgasmic Beauty

So what if you haven't had a date in weeks because you've been working on that HUGE project that's sucking the life out of you - is that any reason to look like you haven't had a date in weeks because you've been working on that HUGE project that's sucking the life out of you?

We don't think so either, and apparently neither do the geniuses at Nars who just in time for summer have introduced an Orgasm gift set of the cult lip gloss along with a new nail varnish.

Go for the afterglow! At Sephora for about 40 bucks.

Take Back The Fat

We're all about empowerment, most especially when it comes to objects of beauty (and even objects of beauty for our booties), which is why we're so in love with Bliss's Fat Girl line. We know they'd never call us fat, even if we do it to ourselves.

Newest in the line is Fat Girl Sleep which for $38.00 skinnifies you while you're already catching up on your Zzzzz. Genius.

Fifteen Minutes Of Shame

Picture the worst thing that's every happened to you.
No.
Even worse than that.
Now picture that happening on national television.

That's the premise behind Lisa Daily's new book Fifteen Minutes of Shame in which romance expert Darby Vaughn (think Dr. Phil, only female and not annoying) finds out that her husband has been cheating on her in a big way. If you're a fan of chick lit you'll love this. If you're a fan of witty chick lit you'll be in heaven. If however you're looking for oversimplified plots or characters - you'll definitely be disappointed. Daily's characters and situations feel real and are really funny - except for when they're painfully real. You'll inhale this book over a weekend.

Desert Island Picks

We're sooooo ready for a vacation. Barring an immediate escape to a tropical paradise populated by shipwrecked cabana boys, we'll have to settle for a fragrance that makes us feel as though we're there. Michael Kors Island has all the hallmarks of the perfect spring into summer scent - a gorgeous bottle inspired by the sparkling waters of the Caribbean and containing exotic notes of Kauai Waterfalls, Chinese Kiwi, Parrot Tulip and Galapagos Driftwood - all for about $75.00.

Somme Girls

Some of us are extremely lazy. Others tend to go for facials faster than you can say beta hydroxy acid. All of us are looking for ways to improve our skin in time to bare a bit more of it.

All of us have fallen for Somme Institute Transport Pads which are a slightly more grown up version of the Clearasil pads we used in high school. Instead of targeting errant zits, these beauties contain alpha and beta hydroxy acids and not only unclog blocked pores but also exfoliate dead cells on face and chest.
