Sephora here we come! The Lovely Brill looks so pretty. I hope our teeny store is well-stocked!
It was interesting to read your comments on Dr. Brandt's renewal shield sun care products. The description of the product "triggering skin’s defense mechanisms for active protection before the sun damage occurs" was an example of clever marketing speak, but be careful: SPF products are only allowed to make the claims that are laid out in the the FDA's Over the Counter Drug monograph.

BB: That was the description from Sephora and I will add you to my link list soon. I need to update it.
I also have added your site to my favorites folder.
Patti: Can not wait! I need this day!
The word verifictation was no buul...looks like no buy. I hope this is not a sign.
To beautybrains, I wonder if Sephora and Brandt wrote that comment to capitalize on the fact that most sunscreens do say to put them on the skin a half hour before exposure to the sun. That's the only thing I can think of. The sentence you quoted does not make much sense to me. Does the skin have its own defense mechanism? Other than the production of melanin?
Annie, pay no attention to those weird code words. We have a mission and cannot tolerate any distractions or goofy word-codes!
Oh man, the Bourjois lip glosses are my hands down fave ones ever. The brush on the end is just perfect, not too rough like some are, and not too long, and it never splays on me. And the gloss itself comes in such lovely colors. Better than *gasp* Chanels' glosses even! Which I think is really saying something. You just gotta give into THAT lemming, at the very least.
EVERY single item by Carol's Daughter is awesome. Their Black Coconut leave in conditioner makes me weep it is so wonderful.
I was going to to a post on my blog dedicated solely to Carol's Daughter products.
Anything Jada Pinkett- Smith uses is good enough for me. Girl is gorgeous!
