My Fave Finds of 2008

I'm always on the lookout for fabulous new items to add to my beauty bag. This year I found a few new things and must share them with you!

Kinerase Intensive Eye Cream. A great find - it has helped to reduce my fine lines around my eyes and have kept the area moisturized without being greasy!

Hope in a Jar. A wonderful facial moisturizer that has kept me from becoming flaky & dried out those cold, winter days in Maine! A must have!
Bumble & Bumble Creme de Coco masque. My go to for healthy, smooth hair. I have super thick hair and it can get dried out pretty easily. This helps to keep me happy and pleased with my hair. Plus, it smells fabulous!!

One that I found for the wedding - Stila Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer. This made my skin flawless for the day and also added a touch of luminosity to my face. I've continued to use it & absolutely love the way it makes my skin appear flawless!

An oldie, but a goodie - The Body Shop Brazil Nut Body Butter. This is fabulous at keeping my skin moisturized - hotel rooms in cold locations can be horrendous! Made with brazil nut oil, shea butter, and cocoa butter it smells fabulous & carries The Body Shop difference.
What are your favorite finds of 2008?

I've found a few BARGINS in the past few months -

1. vaseline cocoa butter deep conditioning lotion- its so moisturizing and smells yummy!

2. light bright lighten & depuff eye gel by mark... only $8 and a liquified perfection after a long night/early morning. it's def. my fav. product at the moment

3. bath & body works is carrying a victorias secret PINK fragrence line right now (in the store, but not online) - i'm ALL about the two in one wash & shave creme.

I am also still a fan of the brazil nut body butter. The best face moisterizer I've found for oily skin is C.O. Bigelow's Extra Light Face lotion at Bath and Body Works. Never, never, never breaks me out.
