Neutrogena

Happy Hands (Under $10!)

Last summer I wrote about a few fabulous hand creams that help maintain these over-used helpers.

Last summer I wrote about a few fabulous hand creams that help maintain these over-used helpers. Now that it's winter, hands need special attention - I know every handbag of mine has a little sample-sized tube of something in it. But I was thinking of featuring hand creams under $10 since it is winter and some of use plow through these containers super quick (case in point: moi). Enjoy!

Tried and true by, um, hundreds of thousands of women. Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream, Fragrance Free, $4.39.

Look of the Day

Look of The Day: Voila! Summer Dress = Winter Dress

Clothing items that carry through different seasons are wonderful.

Clothing items that carry through different seasons are wonderful. The best multi-seasonal item is the dress. malzie89 created a prime example of taking a summer dress and adapting it into a winter look. I especially love the heart-shaped pin she used to fasten her shrug - she admits she stole it from her mom and I have a tendency to do that too! She is today's TeamSugar Look Book Look of the Day! To submit your own look, click here.

Here's what she put together:

  • Cream shrug: Unknown
  • Black dress: Walmart
  • Plaid tank: H&M
  • Black boots: Target (a deal for $25!)
  • Black tights: Kohls
  • Heart-shaped pin: Stolen from mom

Congrats malzie89!

Beauty Mark It!

Beauty Mark It! The Perfect Perfume for Mom

By now you hopefully have heard that this week is Beauty Week in honor of the new Beauty Marks feature.

By now you hopefully have heard that this week is Beauty Week in honor of the new Beauty Marks feature. From now on, every Wednesday I will ask you all to Beauty Mark It! and help me find something specific from the world of beauty. So, it will be like Fab Finding for beauty. I hope you beauty junkies out there are as excited as I am!

Your first challenge is to help me find a mom-worthy perfume to give to my favorite lady this holiday season. Keep these in mind:

  • She has sensitive skin
  • She likes classic scents, like lavender and rose
  • She like pretty packaging

A few seasons ago I got her Annick Goutal 'Eau de Camille' Eau de Toilette Spray, $95, and she liked the ivy, privet, honeysuckle and seringa blend and the femme bottle.

Let's all go beauty marking to find my mom a new scent! Be sure to come back and tell me when your Beauty Marks are up, or just tag your choices with perfume for mom. To learn what a Beauty Mark is and how to make one, click here. To see some of my favorite online beauty stores, read more

Maybelline

In The Nude...Lips That Is

With all the dazzle and dressing up during the holidays it's best to leave some things minimal, or rather, nude.

With all the dazzle and dressing up during the holidays it's best to leave some things minimal, or rather, nude. When holiday parties abound, a nude lip whispers subtle femininity. This trend has been gracing the pouts of Hollywood, as seen in this weekend's Life & Style, as well as the Spring '07 runways, as beauty marked by CocoChic. This look is especially necessary when glamming up your eye makeup - to create balance and maintain a complete, not overtly made up, face.

There are some great options listed here, to see my designer and non-designer picks for nude gloss, read more

The Balm Shady Lady Eye Shadows, $15 are a welcome addition to any flirty lady's shadow collection. These adorably packaged and rather large single shadows come in six different naughty and nice colors with sassy names such as: Caught In The Act Courtney, Luscious Lani, Shameless Shana, Mischievous Marissa, Sexy Stacey and Jealous Jordana.

They are formulated from super fine milled powder pigments that won't feather or crease throughout the day.

They can be worn wet as eyeliners, or dry as shimmery eye shadows that universally flatter all skin tones.

Wear them alone or play away and mix them together to create your own unique color. These shadows are the balm!
