Body Shop Peppermint Pumice Foot Scrub

This foot scrub is a must for the summer that I still believe is coming. If you are going to wear open-toed or open-back shoes, you must take care of your feet, or incur the wrath of Ladylipstick. And while we're on the subject, if your heels spill over the back of your open-back shoes, they are too small. This is the footwear equivalent of camel toe.
So, back to the foot scrub. This is to be used on wet skin. I would say that during flip flop months, use it twice a week. It feels fabulous, it is both abrasive, yet strangely spongy. It really smooths heels and the balls of your feet. Retail: um, yeah. It's out of stock online, so I couldn't get the price. I think it's $16.00.

New Directions?

So, today's reader poll....would more people read my blog if I interspersed my product reviews with actual posts about my life?
Does anybody really want to read the inner musings of a theatre administrator?
Will my co-workers read it and kick my ass?

You the reader can decide!

Napoleon Perdis Auto Pilot Pre-foundation Skin Primer


I'm not often impressed with primers, but this one really did the trick. My skin looked soft, fresh and flawless, my foundation blended more easily and lasted longer. This is a keeper!

Bain De Soleil Streakguarde Dark Self Tanning Creme


I've been using this about once a week all winter. It gives a natural looking tan, and, true to its word, does not streak. My only complaint is that it has a strong self-tanner scent.
