Almost Pretty

100% Pure Shea Butter

We are beginning to feel like we have full body chap with the frigid temperatures we have been experiencing. Having been up in the mountains we began to experience serious aprés ski skin on our face with full on red blooms and peeling skin.

We somehow ran out of our facial moisturizer and left in a bind we began applying the 100% Pure Shea Butter we had purchased at our favorite hometown herbal apothecary Rebecca's. And low our ski skin was repaired! We are seriously considering using shea butter on our entire body and chuck the rest of the products we dabble in. We would even go so far as to suggest bulk ordering shea butter as the prices one sees for shea butter products can be pretty astronomical. But if you like L'Occitaine has 100% Shea Butter. Its quite pricey at $8 for .25 ounces when you consider that buying in bulk will give you a pound for 7 dollars.

Finding The Perfect Shade of Red Lipstick With Coty

Finding the perfect shade of red lipstick has clearly been an obsession for a long time if this Coty Red Lipstick commercial from the 1950 is any indication. We literally cannot tell the difference between the 12 or so shades they show us. But they all look equally alluring.

We aren't quite sure how to recover the lost art of truly red lipstick but we do think that this Guerlain KissKiss Lipstick in Folie De Grenat is as close to classic as they come. The gold casing makes it something any girl would feel good about pulling out of her best clutch. 

Tarte FRXtion Sugar Lip Exfoliant and Balm

We just got our hands on Tarte's FRXtion Sugar Lip Exfoliant and Balm and we are addicted. With its dual sided action it moisturizes and exfoliates all at once. Plus it has teeny tiny little mirror! Nothing like a touch up mirror when you are applying what is essentially chapstick. Not to mention it tastes FANTASTIC.



Whatever your oral affliction, Tarte has got just the Rx for you! One side of this stick contains brown sugar grains to scrub your pout smooth, and the other side, a vitamin E balm to help soothe dryness.

Korres Cherry Full Color Gloss

There is nothing worse than ingesting lipgloss. You never quite know what is going into your stomach. But this Korres Cherry Full Color Gloss is rich in cherry and jojoba oils that soften and hydrate lips. Last we checked those were easily digestable. Vitamins C and E provide antioxidant protection and possibly a little nutrition.

Korres's Cherry Oil Full Color Lip Gloss is part of the Korres Color Collection, a range of homeopathic formulas that provide flawless color and skincare benefits from natural ingredients. The colors are intense (we love their Fuscia in particular) if not particularly long lasting but we say eat up! It sure tastes good enough to eat.
