Bliss Softening Sock Salve

This was actually a good product. I liked it. It did make my feet soft and it felt nice. Is it worth the cost? I don't really think so. I think that my tried and true baby lotion really worked almost as well and given the price, "almost" is good enough for me. I'll take or leave this one.

Cost: $26

Where to purchase: Bliss spas or at Sephora/www.sephora.com

Bliss Softening Socks

I was skeptical when I got these and now let's just say that Im out $50. These things are soft and comfortable, but "softening socks"? Seriously? Come on Bliss. Simply put, if you didn't get it already, this PW does not recommend these at all. These don't do anything more than your basic gym sock. Heck, go buy a 10 Pack of socks @ Costco for $8, a bottle of Johnson's Baby Lotion with Aloe & Vitamin E and you're all set for a fraction of the cost!

If you missed it, these socks are $48+ tax.

In the event that you want to try them for yourself (uh, why???) pick them up at your friendly neighborhood Sephora.

Lancôme Absolue Replenishing Eye Cream

Absolue Eye is a great cream for those of us who suddenly woak up one morning and realized that in fact, wrinkles and fine lines do seem to pop up over night! Absolue Eye moisturizes and firms the eye area and is intended to reduce the appearance of fine lines within 4 weeks of use.

All in all, I think it's a great product that I will continue to buy, even if it is on the pricey side. For those who don't want to spend the money, check out Loreal's Wrinkle Decrease Collagen Filler Wrinkle Reducer ($14 at Target and drugstores nation wide.)

Cost of Absolue Eye is $73 from Sephora and Lancôme counters.

PW's Tip: You can sometimes find Absolue Replenishing Eye Cream at Costco for around $45-50.

Lush Bath Bombs

Bath bombs, shower jellies, silky underwear powder... What do you love about Lush?

Bath bombs are one of my favorite products. Drop one in the bath and prepare to be relaxed. The bath bomb fizzes and floats around the tub, leaving a nice scent (and at times, dyed bath water) behind. Fun alone or with a partner.

PW's favorites are the Sex Bomb (shown) and Butterball. You can try those and plenty of others for yourself at Lush boutiques or from their online store www.lush.com

A bit expensive for one, but it's a fun treat. Prices start at about $4.00 and go up to about $6.00

T3 Evolution Hair Dryer

This is a product that PW is torn about. The dryer is a good one. It cuts down drying time, leaves hair smooth and with a lot less frizz than your typical hair dryer. With that said, I haven't found all that much of a difference between this one and my Conair Infinity Ionic hair dryer that I bought at Target for a fraction of the cost after this T3 malfunctioned.

Would I buy another T3? Probably not. For only $50 at Target stores, the Conair Infinity (tourmaline) Ionic dryer did the exact same thing. Cutting maybe an extra 2 minutes off of drying time isn't worth it to me. Do yourself a favorite and keep your $220.00 for something else. This doesn't make anywhere near enough of a difference to fork over that kind of money.

In the event that you still are interested, you can find the T3 Evolution at Sephora stores and online at www.folica.com

Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask

Want to get rid of a huge blimish/zit quickly? Apply this stuff that the first sign that one is about to pop up. This mask will dry up acne and it helps to minimize pore size and get rid of blackheads. No time for a facial? No problem. Apply this in the comfort of your own home and skin immidiately feels cleaner and refreshed. Keeps shine off of oily skin.

The negatives? It can really dry out skin depending on skin type and how much it's used. Smell isn't the best, but it isn't unpleasant either. Strange after smell so you may want to have soap on hand.

Can be purchased at select Target stores and www.drugstore.com

The cost? Only $3.50

Revlon ColorStay for Oily/Combo Skin

I know I mention it in a previous post, but I figured this product deserved it's own post. If you want to look fabulous and keep shine under control, but don't have the money to spend on pricey makeup counter foundations, this is the one for you.

The negatives? This foundation only contains SPF 6 so if you're going to be in the sun for any extended period of time, you will definitely want extra protection. This stuff also dries quickly once you start to apply it, so work quickly or else you may end up with a less than even application.

This produt can be found at drugstores nation wide or online at www.drugstore.com

Prices vary depending on location, but they should be anywhere from $10-12.

Bobbi Brown Oil Free Even Finish Foundation

This foundation is great. PW has combination skin and this stuff works well. It doesn't leave a perfectly matte finish so it looks a bit more natural than others, but it also keeps oil under control. Does it really leave you with an "even finish"? Yes, it does. PW was skeptical about that in the beginning, but Bobbi Brown proved her wrong.

All in all, a great product.

Can be purchased at Nordstrom or anywhere that BB cosmetics are sold.

Unfortunately, this will set you back $40 for a 1 oz. bottle. Does it last? Yes. Is it worth it? For me yes, it is. However, since I know that some of you may be on more of a budget, here is a PW secret: check out Revlon's ColorStay Oil Free Foundation. That will only cost you about $10 at drugstores nation wide. Be aware that the Revlon does give more of a matte finish and if you have really oily skin, the Revlon will probably be better at keeping shine under control.

Bobbi Brown Bronze Shimmer Brick Compact

What is this you ask? The be all, end all of bronzer, blush and eye make up all in one. I think I've used this thing for just about every accent you can think of. Bobbi Brown's bronze shimmer brick is the best bronzer of it's kind that I've used. It never gives a totally fake, made up look; it simply makes skin glow. It is subtle enough that it can be worn year round.

Where to purchase? Any place that sells Bobbi Brown cosmetics.

How much will this set you back? A whopping $38. Ouch. The good news, aside from the fact that it goes on well is that it lasts for quite some time. Luckily, it isn't one you'll have to replace any time soon.
