LUSH Lip Scrub: lip smacking

Here in the desert your lips can get unbelievably dry.  Tired of watching my child peel dry skin off his lips, I went looking for a lip scrub. I only found a couple, all in the $18-$20 range and not in the most appealing flavors for a child. The light bulb went off and I headed to LUSH in the Shoppes at Mandalay Place. LUSH Cosmetics makes handmade products from fresh ingredients, without testing on animals. Perfect for kids. The Lip Scrub comes in bubblegum, mint and chocolate. Its made of castor sugar and jojoba oil for moisturizing. You can apply and wipe off, or literally lick it away. It has the consistency of slightly wet sugar, so use at the sink. Afterwards, apply your favorite lip product. $8.95 at LUSHUSA.com . Products have the date and the maker of the product on the containers!

The "Saucy Gloss" collection has four different shades, each based on an Applebee's wing sauce: Get Me Hot Buffalo: Coral with hot buffalo spice flavor. Sweet Chile Kiss: Deep red with golden chile. Be My Honey Pepper: Honey-spiced gloss with shimmering flecks with hints of BBQ, honey and pepper.  Honey BBQ-T: Maroon with sweet Asian wing sauce flavors.  Each gloss is $18 or you can get the whole set for $65.  Applebee's made a video with four models wearing the lip glosses to first dates at Applebee's encouraging singles to get out there after Covid. "Applebee’s is known for first dates and wings – which are one of our most popular menu items,” said Applebee’s Chief Marketing Officer Joel Yashinsky. “So...

The most expensive nail polish you won't regret buying

 For those of us who don't get regular manicures, great nail polish is a must. I wandered upon my new favorite in Nordstrom while browsing Deborah Lippmann's products. "Happy Birthday" is the coolest polish I have ever seen. It is made up of red, yellow, blue, orange, green purple, silver and gold mini confetti in a clear base. It almost looks like someone threw a bunch of confetti and it landed on your nails, hence the name "Happy Birthday" .     I just had to have it. Even at $18. Now, you have to consider that this is a premium brand that contains no toluene, formaldehyde or DBP. It is sold out   online and Nordstrom says they can barely keep it in stock. The one negative - the sales lady told me it takes a while to get it off.  Deborah Lippmann is a manicurist that started mixing up polishes for her celebrity clients like Mariah Carey, Sarah Jessica Parker and Cher.  She also has a line of hand and foot treatments, her "Rich Girl" hand and ...
