Nuance Age Affirm Glycolic Cream Cleanser
 |
| Salma Hayek Glycolic Cream Cleanser $15.99 CVS Greenwich Ct. (less expensive anywhere else) |
I recently remembered how much I used to adore the benefits of Dr. Jeffrey Dover's Glycolic Cleanser, when a colleague I recommended it to informed it has vanished from the shelves.
It was perfect. And it was cheap. (Aging inventory still exists on Amazon. Tick tock...)
With that bee back in my bonnet, I purchased Peter Thomas Roth Glycolic Acid 3% Wash at Sephora. I was relieved to wake up with normal vision the next morning after this "foaming" cleanser, that in reality was a drippy liquid mess, seeped into my right eye.
'Nuff said.
Salma Hayek's Nuance skincare line, was created exclusively for CVS. The Botanical skincare, is based on the natural recipes and remedies her grandmother used to cook up.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Tom Ford Counter...
I attended a Polyvore evening event on a gorgeous rooftop in Rockefeller Center a few weeks back. With such close proximity to Saks Fifth Avenue (yes, that one), what were the chances that I would skip a cruise thru their illustrious cosmetics department???
Exactly none.
I had the feeling this was going to be my long awaited Tom Ford counter encounter...The one where I would finally breakdown and spend $50 on a lipstick, though it has always resonated poorly with my usual spendthrift being; seriously...is their wax embedded with precious metals? What am I missing? Better yet, why am I lusting???

| Debbi OShea and Jamal Walker of Burberry |
I had the good fortune of never quite making it to the TF counter. Instead, I met acclaimed N.Y. makeup artist Jamal Walker, who resides over the Burberry Cosmetics Counter, a line that is not available in Greenwich, where I usually shop for my cosmetics.
How fortuitous.
Jamal, who is well known for his professional work for photo shoots and private client events, was perfectly versed on all things Burberry. (You can see his work on his Facebook Page and call him directly at 201-875-0887.)
I told Jamal I was on a mission to find the perfect lipstick and liner; something softer than what I usually wear, but with enough definition that I wouldn't look washed out. I then let him choose what he thought would look best. I also asked him what is the one product I can't leave the counter without.

Burt's Bees Pink Grapefruit Facial Cleansing Towelettes
 |
| Burt's Bees Pink Grapefruit Facial Cleansing Towelettes 30/$6 |
After removing my eye makeup I started using CVS facial towelettes as an interim step. They are gentle enough, so it's gratifying to see how much dirty work those towelettes actually accomplish.
I have a soft spot for all things pink grapefruit, (I have been using Neutrogena's Pink Grapefruit Body Wash for years), so when my friends at Tractenberg offered me the opportunity to sample Burt's Bees Pink Grapefruit Facial Cleansing Towelettes, I did not demure...
