We’re getting into the dry season so this year I’m starting early with the hand lotion. Nothing like the cold to make the skin on the back of my hands dry and cracked. Not hot. One staying by my side is BEECEUTiCALS Honey Thyme Hand and Body Lotion ($9.99 @ healthfromthehive.com). I’m used to smaller tubes when it comes to hand lotions but I guess since this one is for the body and hands, it’s a whopping 8oz. Nice! In addition to the honey and thyme, it also contains calendula, vitamin E, green tea and grape seed extract, among others and as with all their products, most of the ingredients are organic and/or fair trade certified. And the scent? Awesomely tinged with a combo of lemon, lime and thyme. Really like the scent.

Our product picks are the Lifeline Liquid Eyeliner, the Smooth Blend Eyeliner with Sponge Tip, and the Ultra Rich Black Eye Pencil. $15 each @ noircosmetics.com

For me, more than any other time of year, with the fall brings an assessment  of what my hair is doing. What cut I have, what products I’m using and new ways to style my do. And here’s a cool hair accessory that has a lot of possibilities no matter what cut I go with. KNOT HEADS are cloth-covered wires that are reusable and totally bendable. Think of them as twist ties you use to seal the loaf of bread but made just for the hair. Choose from the Long Style at 25” (1 piece) or Short Style (6/4” pieces). Each comes with its own style guide with lots of different styles and ideas you can do with your Knotheads. Need a kick in the behind to get your brain thinking?

I’m pretty brow obsessed. It all started last century when I moved from Boston to Los Angeles a decade ago. I’d had never even thought of waxing or tweezing or really doing anything to my eyebrow area. Somehow, my outlook changed when I landed in LA. I suddenly became interested in cleaning them up and have been waxing them ever since. I also tried threading recently but I don’t think I’ll be continuing that. A co-worker worded me up that they were completely uneven and one was thinner than the other … oh they’re a mess right now. So while I try and figure out how my “wax or tweeze” future looks, I at least have one thing down when it comes to that area and that’s product for them! As I mentioned before more than a few times, I always go too dark when it comes to using the right color pencil or powder. This new BENEFiT COSMETICS Instant Eyebrow Pencil in Light to Medium ($20 @ benefitcosmetics.com) has color on one end and a spoolie on the other to work it in and it’s for sure not too dark for my medium brunette hair color. It’s actually a little lighter than my hair, which is good since that makes it goof-proof.

Here’s one for Ashlee Simpson and Jennifer Garner. MUSTELA new Pregnancy Program ($20 @ dermstore.com) is 4/.67oz tubes that will help the preggy in your life keep their form while they are housing another. The kit is 4 products for 4 problem areas for pregnant women – stretch marks, tightness in the breasts, tired legs and dry, irritated skin. Makes a nice baby shower gift she’ll totally need and use and it won’t break your bank.

I have a vast collection of makeup bags in my closet and I like each one but of course some more than others. I’m hardly looking for anymore to add to the collection but this new one is for sure being added to the front row. TRINA’s Neo Geo design is a nice way to keep some summer in your fall.

This design comes in 4 styles: a Weekender Bag ($65), Train Case ($60), Valet ($40) and Purse ($25) @ 800-833-5562 to locate a retailer near you.
