Lancome's Back and She's Better Than Before ...

My dear friend Erica told me she had a blast at the Lancome counter the other day at the mall (Wish I had been with her.) Now, Lancome, even after all these years makes me think of my mom. For years she was a devotee. She always wore the same lipstick (Champagne?) unless she was wearing a special shade of red. And I can still smell various Lancome creams. Ok, so back to Erica, the realtor. She bought herself a small party tub of products: foaming fash wash (Loves it!), eye cream (very important), tinted moisturizer, Raspberry flavored Juicy Tube lip gloss and exfoliant for the face. Boy did this girl have fun. She says she was feeling icky - you know bored with her skin care routine and like she needed a little boost. In other words, she needed a change. Now this Jersey girl turned Boca Bombshell says her skin is A+. Good for her. It's OK to change your skin care routine. I do it all the time. Well maybe I'm not the best example, considering that I buy way too much product. Love that product. Today a friend told me that Sephora was her church. To that I said, "Honey, it's my heaven. Seriously, the reason I haven't written about Sephora yet is that I am waiting for that perfect moment, a time when I am feeling less than thrilled with the world and find solace at Sephora.

Top Shelf Recommendation:
From the Gap of all places.
A new lip gloss called Slip Gloss. Looks sticky, feels silky. Looks like a Lancome Juicy Tube, but with a wand. I bought it and tried it today. Very nice, just a hint of shimmer.
$12.50 at a Gap near you.

I love my new Lancome regimine. Purchased the toner and now am an official SUCKER! In all seriousnees, my skin has improved. My minor break-outs are under control and my skin feels much softer. As for the eye cream – I finally broke down and bought a tub after a good year of scrutinizing my eyes and seeing signs of (gasp) age and sun damage. Thanks, Beauty Babe, for all of your great tips!

Love always,
Boca Bombshell (aka Erica)
