How cute and perfect are these? How many times have you walked around after a pedicure with twisted up paper towels in between your toes? Totally not glamorous, although girls see you and understand your pain. These toe separator sandals is the solution to your post pedi blues. You put these on right before the color goes on and walk right out with perfect toes. They come in a variety of colors, even metallic and this camouflage shown here. Now all I have to do is remember to bring them with me. At Pedi Couture for $24.95.

I think Sera's slogan -- Roll-Away Wrinkles-- is so cute! They have five products that are cruelty and fragrance-free and can each be applied using a roll-on applicator made out of recycled (and recyclable) glass, which given that the Eye Wrinkle Serum I tried-out needed to be applied 3 times a day for 3 weeks was very useful (I totally would have never had the time/patience to apply this product otherwise..). When I first put on the serum it felt a bit like I was putting Purell on my face -- cool and sticky! While it stayed sticky, the gooey feeling goes away fairly quickly and the application area is smoother and more hydrated afterwards. Luckily, I don't have too many wrinkles around my eyes yet, so it's a bit hard to say for sure how well this product actually worked, but I do have sleep-deprived-related puffiness and lines that have gone down since I first started using the product which contains both cucumber and aloe. It's always hard to tell what that can be attributed to of course and I have been on prescription medication cream because of an allergic reaction I had to a yet-to-be-determined product (who knows when you use so many..errr!), so certainly some of the improvements can be related to that (also I've been using some Olay products which I will write about soon, so stay tuned!), but I do think Sera's line is worth trying. Each product retails for $39.95 and it's so much easier than your typical anti-wrinkle cream to apply -- it literally takes 2 seconds and there's no mess. The products can also be applied over or under makeup which is always nice given that the product needs to be applied 2-3 times a day.

This spray is so refreshing! With summer in full swing, it's nice to give your face a refreshing spritz here and there to lift your spirits and rehydrate. I received my bottle of Chamomile Floral Water just before I left for Alaska last week (which is beautiful, by the way). And because of the 3oz liquid rule I opted to leave it at home instead of taking the time to transfer some into a travel size bottle for my flight. It was about an hour into the flight when my skin began to dry out from the recycled air, and I sat wishing I had taken the time to pack it. For the rest of my flight, and the flight home I sat in longing for my delightful chamomile floral water! Keep it in the refrigerator for a cool mist in the afternoon. I will make this a permanent addition to my beach bag this summer! -only $12.00 for 6.76 fl oz!! ***BEAUTY NOTE: Chamomile oil has antiallergenic, antiseptic, cooling, analgesic and healing properties; which can be used to treat sunburn or acne. You can also use it as a toner to remove excess cleanser and hydrate your skin.***

Sometimes I think that being a beauty junkie is a curse for someone who, like me, has very sensitive skin. Every few months the skin around my eyes freaks-out on me and I wake-up a puffy, red mess and I end-up having to go to my optometrist only for him to, once again, prescribe a cream, tell me not to wear any cosmetics for a week and then there's nothing to do but test-out product after product trying to find which one is the culprit -- even makeup that for years didn't cause problems, can suddenly irritate your skin, so the struggle for those of us who are constantly switching-up their routine is nothing if not a challenge! This of course leads me to Prescriptives and the timing couldn't be better, because their fall colors just came out and while the colors aren't my fav (can anything come close to Chanel!?), they're just what I need to make sure my face doesn't go crazy right now! The colors are a nice mix of soft neutrals and darks (Plum, Fig, Cobalt), and all are dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested. Read more for the complete rundown of the new Prescriptives colors!
