I’ve loved C.O. Bigelow’s Mentha Lip Tints - tinted lipgloss with tingling mint flavor.  Now there’s a fun new option to moisturize and color your lips and freshen your breath, all with a refreshing tingle.  These new lip treats come in lipstick tubes and wear like a lipstick.  There are 4 colors available: Baby Pink Mint, Vintage Rouge Mint, Brown Betty Mint and Glacial Mint.  The pink, red and brown are super wearable, shimmery colors and the glacial mint is a translucent white that can be worn alone or on top of your favorite lipstick to give it some shimmer.  All four are super moisturizing, long lasting and, at $7.50, a great deal!

I’ve been testing and reviewing a lot of products recently that are going to be great when winter starts to take a toll on our skin.  But that’s no reason you can’t start using them now!  Another goody I recently tried was True Blue Spa’s Shea Cashmere Foot Cream.  This deliciously rich foot cream is made with shea butter and cashmere extract.  I’m not sure what cashmere extract is or why it’s good, but it sure does sound decadent!

While this foot cream is thick, it smooths on easily and absorbs quickly.  You aren’t left with greasy feet.  And it has a nice, subtle vanilla scent.  Apply to your feet at night, top with a pair of socks - dare I suggest cashmere socks?  And wake up with super soft feet.
