Have you tried Essie Apricot cuticle oil yet?
Made with cotton and soybean oil, this stuff is lovely for your cuticle and nail health. Massage it into your cuticle and nail beds and you'll see instant hydration. Especially helpful for keeping nails hydrated if you strip your polish off a lot. Moist nails means no peeling and longer growth! I put this on at night before bed to give the oil time to really penetrate. If you have overgrown cuticles, allow this to absorb into the cuticles then they become easy to push back. Putting oil on over your polished nails also helps your manicure last longer! This stuff is cheap, so it's an affordable indulgence. The other night I gave a bunch of the little girls (and one boy) in my neighborhood "manicures". I painted this onto their fingernails, which made them all pretty and shiny. Once Mikey saw his sister's nails, he came running up onto my porch with his hands held out, saying "Do me! Do me!" Essie has helped me to create a teeny little metrosexual :-)

Clinique Even Better Makeup SPF 15
Clinique Even Better Makeup SPF 15 Cream Whip
This stuff does exactly what it says it will- it evens out your skin tone, hides imperfections and imparts a healthy glow to your skin. Uneven skin tone is a huge problem for me. I have rosacea, sensitive skin, freckles and scarring. With this my skin looks absolutely perfect but without that heavy, pore clogging mask feel of some foundations that offer a higher level of coverage. I love how it's so whisper light yet still balances out my redness and hides my scars. I put it on fairly thinly in most areas then just use a tidge more on areas that need more coverage, it's extremely buildable. It doesn't get streaky or oxidize on the skin, either! My only wish is that it addressed enlarged pores. Over time, it's supposed to actually correct your skin imperfections like a treatment! I think it's also fabulous that they have a gazillion shades available- us women come in all kinds of subtle delineations. Thanks, Clinique- for making foundation Even Better!

Hanae Mori Butterfly
I would say this is sweet and addictive. I'm very picky about my florals and sweet scents, they often either make me smell like a six year old who chain smokes or an old lady with powder trapped in her wrinkles. This is a sweet floral that's sophisticated enough to make the cut. I have the eau de toilette, but when I get my next bottle I plan on trying the parfum. Why? My one complaint is that in toilette form, it doesn't last as long on me as I would like. This is one that the husband really likes, he finds it to be incredibly sexy. He said that he really likes how it smells so totally different depending on how long I've had it on, it goes from a sweet berry and flower scent to a warm vanilla musky wash. Good thing about the toilette though is that it's perfect for work. I have a boss who is extremely scent sensitive and she doesn't complain about this one a single bit.
A great way to try it out (or just to carry it around for touch ups) is the roller ball available at Sephora.

Lift Lab Lift & Firm Eye Cream
This stuff is simply fantabulous! It really does a lovely job on dark circles, puffy undereye areas, bags and wrinkles. The results are not as noticeable at first, you really need to use it for at least thirty days to see results, but when you do, you really do! I had a co-worker that commented that my lupus must not be as bad lately because I've been looking so well rested and refreshed, which is pretty funny since I've been having awful flares for the past few weeks. the bags under my eyes are gone and my eye area is noticeably more refreshed. While the cream is pricey, it's also quite concentrated- a lil dab'll do ya. It also is very creamy and absorbent, there's no tugging when you apply it but it absorbs quickly and causes no problems with applying eye makeup.
