Skin Saver: Dead Sea Products

    

 

 

I have gone in the Dead Sea at least 10 times in my life and I have to say it does have a profound effect on skin. For those of you not willing to make the pilgrimage, try treating yourself to a Dea Sea mineral water bath or mud pack every 6 months or so. At $5.95 from The Jerusalem Gift Shop  you can totally afford it. It amazingly relieves all kinds of skin problems included extreme dryness, breakouts, eczema, and psoriasis and gives skin an incredibly hydrated feel and unified tone. Dead Sea products are especially kind to angry winter city skin.

How To: Get Perfect Eyelashes

The main thing that professional make-up artists do that you most likely don’t is: take the time to comb eyelashes after applying mascara. This final step can make all of the difference between spider legs and fluffy lusciousness. If you want to be even more of a trickster:

 

Wash the mascara wand out of your old tube and use it as an eyelash comb. 

 

• It’s free. You were going to throw it away anyway.
• It works better than a metal comb to give you soft, fluffy, natural lashes. 

Best Skin Care Line

I have wishy-washy skin… Sometimes it behaves and looks radiant and other times I feel like it’s a blackhead bonanza. When I was in puberty is was like whitehead heaven. But over the course of 15 years of unreliable and inconsistent skin problems, I have found that there is one brand I can always turn to to clear up the problem:

 

 

 That’s right. Look no further. For over 10 years I have religiously used Neutrogena products to keep my skin spazes in check. Breaking out? Try the RapidClear. Aging? Try the VisiblyFirm. Both? It’s HealthySkin you need. Personally, I’ve been using the latter for the last 5 years… and only when I deviate from my blessed Neutrogena regimen does my skin freak out.

 

 

 

 

Besides, who doesn’t love a reasonably priced

fabulous product? 

Super Deal: Best Lipgloss

I have tried every lipgloss known to man. Literally. All of them. From Chanel to Lancome to Clinique to Revlon to Wet ‘ Wild to Cover Girl and I could keep going but I will spare you.  My most recent test venture was a tube of Philosophy Raspberry Sorbet that I bought on sale at Sephora; overall it was a nice lip gloss but I ended up losing it like so very many tubes of lipgloss and at $10 a pop plus the line at the mall I wasn’t exactly ready to re-stock. Besides, no matter what I try I always end up going back to my staple… the reliable, the affordable, the available at CVS which is oh-so-convenient - Loreal Color Juice.

 

 At $7.59 a pop and minus the line at the mall, it’s by far my favorite lipgloss. Never to sticky, never to slimy, and available in every color under the sun. Why argue if it’s drugstore cheap and good?
