I know it’s a little early to be talking holidays but keep this next one in mind, or rather, start making your Christmas list with this next one right at the top. RED BY KISS Contoured Pedicure File & Toenail Clipper Duo ($4.99 @ walgreens.com) will keep feet smoother than a baby’s bottom or rather, feet. I don’t know one female or male that won’t thank you for this one.
I love when dreams come true. My dream in this case is that a candle I had came in a fragrance form ... and it does! How many times does that happen? PENHALIGON’S Lily & Spice Eau de Parfum ($85/3.4oz @ shoplondons.com) is such a striking scent. It’s the same notes as the candle so if you can picture fresh lilies and sharp spices, you have this scent. So unique and perfect for fall.
London-based SANCTUARY SPA is set to roll out 19 body products in Target stores in October. The line will retail between $6.99 to $17.99.
Space NK will be the exclusive US carrier of the UK skin care brand INA. The cornerstone of the line is White Gold Crystal Salt sourced from the Himilayan mountain region. They claim the crystals have the same electromagnetic frequencies as the human body, creating a natural resonance that allows them to penetrate cell walls and be metabolized.

The colors in 
STILA's Fall 2007 Fantasy collection sum up the seasons warm rich feeling. And each of their A Tale of Enchantment Palettes ($32) comes with its own Agate, which is long believed to give mystical power to the wearer. Here's the breakdown of each palette.
Laguna Agate - blue velvet case with sheer silver blue, electric blue-green shimmer, gunmetal silver shadows and rosy pink blush
Madagascar Agate - brown velvet with sheer peachy bronze, rich bronze and warm dark brown shadows and rose gold blush
Moss Agate - green velvet with sheer champagne, khaki shimmer green and dark green shadows and warm coppery brown blush
And for super color for the lips, Long Wear Lip Color ($18) is eight shades of fab in a twist up stick. No sheers here, just deeply pigmented colors like Paramour, a deep plum red and Coquette, a soft rose sheen. All @ sephora.com
It comes in a silver box, wrapped just like a precious jewel. From the Sensai Cellular Performance line of KANEBO, comes the holistic anti-aging Eye Contour Balm. This silky rich eye cream is not only a luxurious treat for the eye area,
but more than that, the anti-aging ingredients help tremendously with dark circles, dullness, puffiness, sagging and fine lines and wrinkles. You feel an immediate tightening effect as soon as the cream sinks in! Treat yourself to lustrous skin that retains the sensation of silk. $95/.52oz @ bergdorfgoodman.com ~Lisa
Soap, soaps, soaps, what’s not to love? Big bars of cleaning goodness and there are so many types to choose from these days. One of the kings or rather queens, in the case of this particular product, of the gourmet
soaps is Pittsfield, MA’s BLUE Q. Never have I seen a line of goodies carried in so many different types of retail stores - make a point to look around the next time you are in a party goods store to a high end card store. They simply have something for everyone. On the top of my shower stand this month is their Mental Case Prima Donna Soap ($7.99/5oz @ blueq.com). Lathering up some White Tea and Rose Hips in the morning is a pleasant way to wake up in the morning.
I have a habit of hording cool candle boxes and now Blue Q soap boxes. Help!
Since 1851, KIEHL’S has been bringing us fine quality skin and hair care and they’ve just introduced a Rice & Wheat Volumizing Hair Care duo. As always, it is infused with lots of natural goodness: natural hydrolyzed rice protein, wheat protein, honey, Jojoba seed and rice bran. I did get lots of volume, but without the usual dryness that sometimes accompanies volumizing products. This duo is excellent for thin and fine hair. It smells fresh, detangles, smooth split ends and hair appears fuller and thicker, while keeping the softness. Rice & Wheat Volumizing Shampoo or Conditioner $18/8.4oz each @ kiehls.com ~Lisa
The TESS line conducted research with hundreds of teens and their mothers to find out what teens wanted and needed in a skincare product line.
And what they came out with is a full range of products that address every need. But heh, some of them are good for us gals in the next generation too. I love to try masks on the weekends and these two next TESS masks were absolutely great for my skin. Mask O’ the Month? I think so. And right now you can purchase an unbelievable deal and get two for $20! The Go Undercover Strawberry Soothing Face Mask feels cooling and hydrating on the skin and You can even leave it on overnight! The Magic Mud Mask Eucalyptus Face Mask absorbs oil and purifies but it doesn’t leave your face feeling dried out like some made of mud can. As a matter of face, my face felt as soft as it did after using the Go Undercover Mask. Why should teens have all the fun?? $20 for both 4oz masks @ tessskin.com ~Lisa
