A holiday-shopping survival kit
We consider a great lip gloss essential any day of the week, but holiday shopping calls for something a bit more protective. Slather lips with Biomimetic Perfect Lip Honey ($19), a no-frills balm by REN Skincare that’s formulated with a biomimetic complex — sounds fancy, makes you pretty — and, for karma points, is environmentally sound. Thick without being sticky (for both protection and kissability), and with a hint of shine (for style), the gloss is available online at www.renskincare.com.
Beauty retailers look East for inspiration
We’ve been known to ravage the refrigerated section of our local convenience store on Saturday morning, desperate for thirst-quenching, feel-good-again jugs of green tea. Well, Wei East does us one better with their 16-pack of Intensive Herbal Eye Treatment Pads ($36), steeped in extracts of green tea, Tibetan chrysanthemum, and peppermint. After using them for 10 minutes on closed eyes, we emerge refreshed, de-puffed, and ready to face the brunch table. Stock up at www.weieast.com.
