Korres Black Tea & Verbena Anticellulite Cream-Gel (2009) {New Beauty Product - Body}


Black-Tea-Verbena-B.jpgKorres Natural Products, a brand hailing from Greece, has introduced a new product for the body called Black Tea & Verbena Anti-Cellulite Cream-Gel. It is meant to be a complementary addition to the anti-cellulite program created by the brand with "Guarana exfoliating body soap, Geranium and Grapefruit massage oil for firming body and reducing the appearance of cellulite and Prunella and Grape firming body cream gel."

King of Shaves Azure for Women (2009) {New Beauty Product - Body}

King-of-Shaves-Azure-Woman.jpgThe King of Shaves has decided to done on the crown of the queen of shaves with a new, reportedly super-performance razor for women.

Bourjois attempted to lure us in with the cutest of retro rouge boxes last fall (there I didn't cave because the colors are the same as in the regular collection). I caved for the 1950s-inspired Elizabeth 8 Hours lip balm, but more because it was so good than because of the packaging.

Columnist Edwina Ings-Chambers writes,

"We all have one beauty product that we buy (or would if we could) for nostalgic reasons. For me, it's Blue Grass by Elizabeth Arden, the body lotion in particular.
