Mario Badescu

Need a lift? If you like creamy lotions -- but don't want one that leaves a lot of grease -- you may want to try out Badescu's Olive Oil cream -- that's Mario Badescu. You can buy it at Nordstrom.

By the way -- I'm now on Facebook.

7 Online's Lauren Glassberg

The adorable and witty Lauren Glassberg just did a story for our local ABC affiliate WABC.
Tonight's piece was about caring for and treating your hair. The story talked about how to diagnose hair issues.

Recently I had a deep conditioning hair treatment and I've been pleased with the results. A series of highlights left my hair dry and icky. Now my strands are more supple.

Sunday Styles

Did anyone read Sunday Style's today?
Bobbi Brown's Navajo eye palette was featured.
You can also read my review on this blog.
I think the palette is wonderful for fall.
A modern -- yet classic fall look.
Let me know what you think about the palette.

Sunscreen drama

Say you're like me. You wear sunscreen, but your forget to apply it in certain places.
Then you go kayaking for 2 hours.
In the sun.
On a big pond.
With your mom, dad and husband.
Then you burn.
A lot.
Your knees are red.
The tops of your thighs burn.
What's a girl to do?

Korres to the rescue.

Slather on the Korres cooling Yoghurt lotion-gel for relief.
Obviously the Greeks get how to cool off after a nasty stay in the sun.

Korres is sold at Sephora.

And coming this fall ... Korres is opening a store in Soho

Stay tuned for posts on Korres' yummy guava body butter. Delish!

Update on Bobbi Brown

Well, I've finally had the chance to try out Bobbi Brown's new Stonewashed Nude eye palette. It's lovely. I spent my train ride from Glen Rock to New York City applying various shades of shimmer-y grey, mica, ash shimmer, nude and hot stone shadows.
I also liked the espresso eyeliner that accompanies the shadows.
The only problem, says my mother Slimdi, is that the palette is tricky to open.
Not impossible -- but if you don't want to break a nail, be careful.
I also really enjoyed Bobbi's new Brownie Pink lipstick and Stonewashed nude lip gloss.
If you pair these shadows with this lip combination, you're sure to be what I would call a "natural knockout."

As I write this blog, Slimdi is trying out the Brownie Pink. I'm not actually sure where the name Brownie Pink comes, but I digress. Mom says, "It looks good with a tan."

Bobbi Brown's Fall Looks

I just received a little pamphlet from Bobbi Brown, promoting her Fall 2007 collection. Does any one in the beauty biz do natural better than Bobbi?
I'm loving her Stonewashed Mauve Shimmer Lip Gloss. Well, actually, I haven't tried the products yet. But the pictures make them look very pretty.
We'll keep an eye on these glosses and Bobbi's Stonewashed Look.

Orna for your tired, aching feet

This is a foot cream that was recommended to me by a colleague. It's very rich and helps to eliminate dry, cracked heels. If you wear flip flops the way I wear flip flops, you will understand what dry heels look like. They crack. They bleed. They are messy and unsightly. They disturb my chi.

The product retails for about $30

Streekers!

Folks! I'm not talking about skinny dipping here. But I wanted to give you an update on my new fave summer product. I tried the hair color today -- in pink -- and it was great. You can brush it on a strand or two of hair for a small hint of color or you can apply it thicker for a more dramatic result. I used it and liked it very much. And it did wash out easily, as promised. However, I went biking and I sweat so much under my helmet that I ended up with a small pink spot on my forehead. That too washed off easily. So go ahead ... paint your hair pink. Just wait until after you go biking and the beach.

*WHAT THEY COST: $9.95 each
*WHERE TO FIND THEM: Select salons and cosmetic specialty stores; ULTA; or via www.streekers.com

Think Pink! Or Yellow! Or Blue!

New ways to have fun with your hair color this summer -- without doing permanent damage. That's coming up --
When I review "Streekers."

Coming Soon -- Hamadi Hair

Hamadi products. Do you know them? I just learned about Hamadi at a local beauty event in New York City. More on Hamadi, coming up soon.
