I would love to recommend the *coolest scrub evah* – the Volcanic Ash Exfoliator, but it is sold out (*sob*).  Watch for this to reappear online, or get thee to the store and pick it up.  It is a big 4.5 oz  tub of the neatest, blackest, most effective scrub you have ever seen (Tia, you will love this if you haven’t tried it – it is a SCRUB, baby!!).  Fun!  And at only $19, its a don’t miss from MAC. 

I still say to pick up MAC’s Mineralize powder foundation – it is great.  Dazzleglass – this is a don’t miss lip gloss.  I am also super duper in love with Solar Riche, a bronzing powder from the Solar Field collection.  This is one of the few bronzers that is cool enough to use on my skin.  No orangey bronzer here, no ma’am!  They also have another color, Refined Golden, if you are a warm skin.    This is gorgeous, $20, in a cool neon orange compact, and is Limited Edition, so hurry on over to MAC!!

I have been trying a new skin care line created by Dr. Gary Goldfaden, Cosmesis – and although I haven’t given it nearly enough time to give an opinion on some of the other items in the line, I will say that I used the Cleansing Scrub (made for acne-prone skin) for the first time last night and, boy, did I love it!! The Cosmesis products are formulated with Red Tea extracts which, as you may have read here before, was something I was very interested in trying.

I love a scrub that SCRUBS, and this one sure does. No cleanser with a few grains in it so it can be called a scrub here! From the pamphlet:

This extremely effective foaming cleanser with antioxidants, moisturizers and rejuvenators is used to improve the appearance of the skin. It is an exfoliating scrub made with natural antioxidants, specifically red tea.

Through the use of Corundum or Ruby Crystals, the product rejuvenates the skin by removing dead skin cells and allowing the natural anti-oxidants to come into direct contact with the freshly exposed skin.

When you put it on and start moving it around on your face it has a little foaming effect to it, and the scent is very nice – sort of mild lavendar-y. You can see the sparkly crystals on your face – this was just one step up from being a microdermabrasion scrub. With the Red Tea antioxidants included in the scrub, this product is made for my strangely acne-prone AND beginning-to-show-signs-of-aging skin. I am loving it!

I will report back in a couple weeks on the rest of the products that I am trying – most specifically the Red Tea Rejuvenator serum. I love serums, they just feel really good, like pure nutrients going into my skin!
