What's Your Philosophy?

I just made an exciting discovery...Philosophy products are made in the USA!  Philosophy products made their debut at Barney's NY back in 1996. Now you can find Philosophy products in Sephora and QVC. Their brand consists of medically based skin care: bath and shower gels, moisturizers, micro-peels, fragrance, and anti-aging products.

My absolute favorite philosophy product is the shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath..that's right...it's a 3 in 1.  I love to travel with this product because I can pack lighter.  And the scent options are wonderful.  I really like Cinnamon Buns...yep it makes your hair and body smell like cinnamon buns.  They have other fun scents like Cranberry Orange Spritzer, Spiced Clementine Toddy, Mimosa, Raspberry Sorbet, and Hot Buttered Rum.

You can check out their products online at http://www.philosophy.com/.

Happy Philosophizing!

Lancome Foundation

So I have always been at war with my face: redness, acne, etc.  It is so hard for me to match a foundation to my skin tone  I wore Bare Minerals for years and loved it...but now that I am getting older I need a little more coverage...how to cover up those pesky fine lines and not look orange! :)

So my friend April gave me her Lancome Teint Idole Ultra foundation to try.  I know...it's a mouth full and french sounding...but believe it or not...it is made in the USA!!!

I absolutely love this foundation! It is a light liquid that provides medium coverage and doesn't feel like you have pancake mix plastered on your face! 

I use the 210 Buff N color and it blends with my skin tone perfectly! It is a little darker shade than what I would have normally picked for myself but it works.  You can try the different colors out at Sephora.  And an extra bonus is that it doesn't make my face break out. 

Now it is a little pricey...$44 at Sephora...but 1 bottle lasted me almost a year (that's about $3.67 per month).  It's worth it!

So if you are looking for a new foundation I highly recommend this one!

Happy Primping!

APPLE: Made in the USA??

I read an article yesterday on CNN.com about Apple...yes Apple...planning to make one of their Mac products in the USA!  I am a huge Apple fan so I was elated when I saw this!  Although the article was vague about which product, I'm sure we'll hear about it soon enough!



Way to go Apple for creating new jobs in this sluggish economy!
*Cue the Apple soundtrack*
