Finally, OPI's new fall/winter collection has arrived and it is the "Swiss" line of polishes. Too recommends "Color So Hot it Berns", "Diva of Geneva", and "Cuckoo for this Color." Get thee to a salon or Trade Secret and check them out!!

Back with a bang!!!

Hey readers! Too is back from vacation and I have a few tidbits for you for the week

If you have a Belk near you, it's Clinique Bonus time. I've seen the bonus and it's super cute. Get on it.

And finally, if you are having trouble keeping your makeup on during these sweltering days, dust a light layer of transluscent loose powder on your face before applying your foundation for an oil absorbing layer to help your makeup hang on!!

Run, don't walk

Philosophy is having their bi-annual special of 3 of their shampoo/conditioner/body washes for $33. Seeing as they are usually $16 a piece, this is a great price. So, get one for yourself and 2 for gifts. Or, just get them all for you. When is the last time you treated yourself??

What the heck is that?

I know you've all heard of serums for your face. And, I'm sure there are some of you who are thinking "What is that? Do I need that? What's the deal?"

Here's the cool thing about a serum- it wears several hats. First, it packs a WALLOP of anti-oxidants for your skin. That helps your skin fight off all the junk that's floating around in the air every day. What does this mean for you? Oh, it only helps ward off those wrinkles/age spots/etc that show your age before you want them to.

Another plus? If you use a serum and then use a moisturizer on top of it, the serum acts like a microscopic ferry boat, if you will. Carrying the moisturizer deeper and more effectively into your pores.

Finally, some serums can also act as chemical exfoliants. Yet another way to get those pores cleaned out, making them appear smaller!

So, what serum is right for you? Choose one based on your skin type (dry? combination? oily?) and needs (age spots? clarifying?). A few that I think are note worthy would have to be Philosophy's "When Hope is Not Enough", First Aid Beauty's "Anti-Redness Serum", Patricia Wexler's "Acnescription Anti-Aging Acne Serum", and Olay "Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum."
