I knew that I was going to, shall I say, have a shower and bath affair with any item from the NG SPA COLLECTION Sweet Nectar Spa because of the nourishing list of ingredients. I’ve been using Honeysuckle Blossom Bath & Body Syrup and this blend contains honey and watermelon, among others, which are two of my favorite scents and eats. This exceptionally unique syrup can also be used as a body wrap, face mask, and hair pack so the options are endless. Included with each jar is a handcrafted honey drizzlier and now both are sitting inside my shower so I can use it daily from head to toe. $32/13oz @ ngspacollections.com ~Randi

STILA recently teamed up with a celebrity stylist to create the shapes and packaging for the new Beachy Keen collection. Get sunkissed and bronzy with our picks from the collection: Eye Shadow Trio ($32) in Acapulco is a rich bronzy brown in the center, green shimmer surrounding that and a white shimmer surrounding that. Couple this with the warm bronze of Summer Lip Glaze ($20) in Spiced Rum. Add a touch of cheek with the Cheek Duo ($20) in Quaint & Coral and you’re ready to hit the sand. All @ stilacosmetics.com

We’re starting a new section with products perfect for the season like this one for tips and toes...

I’ve been thinking about the new driving laws coming down the pike in the state of California and what better way to remember the mandatory seatbelt law than with Click-It-Or-Ticket ($7 @ essie.com) from ESSIE's 2007Summer Collection. I like it best on my toes while I put the petal to the metal. This Coral will keep you tan looking fresh and the tickets at bay.

When we featured the BATH AND BODYWORKS True Blue Spa Bronze Bombshell collection a few weeks ago, little did we know that the Sunkissed Lipshine/Roll On Eau de Toilette ($17.50 @ bathandbodyworks.com) would become such a stape in our purse. This one is a total delight! It's a duo-wand and is two must haves for summer - their signature scent in a roll-on form on one side and a “look at the great tan I have” shimmery gloss on the other. A guy even came over to me in Urban Outfitters over the weekend to ask me what scent I was wearing. Yowza, this is a good one!

BOBBI BROWN has just added a new cateogry to her line - Tinted Lip Balms. Available in eight lip smacking shades, I’ve been wearing Citrus, an icy cool coral, and Pink Popsicle, a sheer pink-red depending on my mood of the day. But check all of them out if you are looking for a balm that provides long-lasting sheer color with marvelous moisture. Convenient for toting, this balm is easy to apply, and these colors are fun and offer the perfect protection for luscious looking lips. $17 @ bobbibrown.com ~Randi

When your hair is happy, you’re happy! It seems that I always come back to BIOLAGE hair care line when my hair gets unruly. For styling, the Smoothing Gel ($11.95/5.1oz) is my new favorite for getting a smooth, no frizz style. With avocado and grape seed oil, it’s wonderful for dry and disobedient hair and the signature fragrance is that clean fresh smell you always get from their products.

For serious conditioning try their small but mighty tubes of Cera-Repair ($11/5.5oz). Squeeze the contents of one tube and let it sit for about 3-5 minutes and rinse out. From the Forte-therapie line, this gives you healthy shiny hair in minutes. It’s an easy at home treatment you can use one time a week for 5 weeks to optimal hair condition!

I have always liked the ViCTORiA’S SECRET fragrances, especially the men’s cologne. I have worn the Very Sexy For Him Cologne Spray for the past few years and now I’ve got one that I wouldn’t call masculine in any way. It sizzles and has a very appropriate name, Very Sexy Hot! Each of the Body Wash ($15), Sheer Mist ($22), Body Lotion ($20) and Eau de Parfum Spray ($49/2.5oz) blend ripe plum berry, Startgazer Lily, Musk Sandalwood, and Vanilla, among others. Look for these hot pink products in September.

It’s a cute little gadget to pop in your purse for on-the-go powdering. MALLY BEAUTY's Perfecting Powder comes in a small container with a mirror on top so you can see where this lightweight powder is going. There is a soft suede like puff that makes it easy to control where you put the micro-fine loose powder. Hint: Give the top of the puff a tap on the back of your hand to release the powder and then blot away those oily spots on your face. Don’t rub it on, just buff it on the areas that look shiny. Portable powder that doesn’t spill? Mama would love this one! $28 @ mallybeauty.com ~Lisa

Leave it to LUSH to come out with a purse-friendly way to try their skin care. The new Fresh-Face Starter Kits ($19.95 @ lush.com) come with three of their top selling products to help Normal to Oily, Combination Skin or Normal to Dry Skin. The Cleanser is .7oz, Moisturizer .4oz and the Facial Toner is 3.5oz so you have a bit to give them a few go arounds.
And since Lush is earth friendly, they have a lot of suggestions on how you can re-use the tray that the three products come in. How fun!

I hate to be a bandwagon jumper but the C.O. BiGELOW Mentha Lip Shine ($5 @ bathandbodyworks.com) IS the best three-in-one moisturizer on the market. Normally I’m not jazzed about products for my lips that have mint in them but this one has just a touch so it doesn’t irritate at all and it's quite soothing. Welcome to the Hall of Fame!
