My world was rocked yesterday – and not in a good way – with the news that after thirty years, Estee Lauder was ending distribution of Prescriptives.
This is a brand that has been around for thirty years, and at one point was a mainstay of my beauty routine. They will close January 2010, with sales still being available on Prescriptives.com until stocks run out.
Le sigh. Prescriptives, we’ll miss you. (And be stocking up while we can!)

Mineral makeup is key to breathable skin.
All Skins Mineral Makeup 16-Hour Wear SPF 10 is an all-day liquid mineral foundation that promises to stay fresh and at the same time help protect your skin from the evil the sun has to offer: i.e. those UVA/UVB rays.
This is great, if you are like me, and despite being in the Hamptons on a sunny weekend, half the time forget to sun-protect.
It is made with an exclusive R.E.C. complex (Radiance Emitting Crystals—a unique combination of amethyst, rose quartz and calcite) that also gives skin a bit of glow. Pretty hot…especially out here!

As it starts to FINALLY get nice out, a fabulous bronzer actually becomes more imperative for us pale blondies – how else can we fake a sun-kissed look?
Prescriptives has a new mineral bronzer that, as the name implies, is full of vitamins and minerals – creating a glow that truly is natural.
It has something inside known as R.E.C. complex (Radiance Emitting Crystals—a unique combination of amethyst, rose quartz and calcite) that is good for you – but also helps to create that sun-kissed glow.
I’m using it now – and I’m really impressed!

For a few years now, I have been in a monogamous relationship with Fiberwig mascara. I love how it stays on, washes off, and the length it gives my lashes.
Commitment-phobe that I am, however, I had to give a few others a try. And I discovered there really is awesomeness to be found!
Some of my recent faves in the land of lash-adornment:
Prescriptives Motor-Eyes Instant Action Mascara: You may have seen this on QVC, it’s the first vibrating brush they sell there, and this helps give awesome lift and curl.
Maybelline Lash Stiletto: I have to say, this may have replaced …read more
