Let’s just assume you are in need of a luxurious bath experience (after all, you desire one!)– I recommend you turn to Palatium, a line of bath oils and foams that nourish, soothe, and rejuvenate; there’s not much better than that! We tested the Palatium Roman Bath Oils in three delectable scents: sweet orange (arancia dolce), spiced fig (fico speziato, and our personal favorite) and sea (Mare Myrteus), which are a rich combination of organic Tuscan olive oil combined with soybean, jojoba and primrose oils and Vitamin E and organic green and white tea extracts. As olive oil possesses natural anti-bacterial properties and is perfect for all skin types and uses, it’s found in its the purest and most aromatic-infused form in this products. As a self-declared olive oil fanatic, I can vouch for the incredible nature of this product, which perfect meshes ancient bathing rituals with contemporary desires. The Palatium Roman Bath Oils are available at ThePalatium.com and retail for $65 each for a 250ml bottle.

butter LONDON introduces their new Spring/Summer 2012 lacquer collection, a nail realm of everything from sherbet pastels to retro glitters, to sheers.
We love Bossy Boots, a light pistachio green and Trout Pout, an opaque shade of cantaloupe. But the glittery shades cannot be overlooked (nor can their clever names). When you’re in the mood to rave, try Disco Biscuit, a tropical hot pink with iridescent particles or Slapper, as teal as any lacquer can come.
The message this season is KNOW who you are, then BE who you are,” says butter LONDON’s founding Creative Director Nonie Creme. We couldn’t have put it better ourselves! Each shade retails for $14.

[essie Spring 2012 collection, $8 per bottle]
There’s nothing like a crisp manicure to get you excited to try something fresh and new. The extraordinarily feminine essie 2012 Spring collection is made up of six colors to keep you composed and intuitive, yet temperate all the while.
This spring, essie will pay tribute to all of the ambitious, self-made women who “dream big, go with their instincts and always manage to put their best self forward,” says Essie Weingarten, brand founder and global creative director.
Available in February 2012, glorious brights and pretty pastels will do all the talking as each color dictates a certain mood. Pack a punch with Tour de Finance or ease your way into a sunny day with A Crewed Interest. No matter what, you’re ready, willing and able to take on any mission with poise and grace.

If an item was available that minimized the number of products you put on your face as well as your time in front of the mirror, would you try it? Of course you would; who couldn’t use a little extra time and money? I first spoke about the combo product, dubbed B.B., which stands for “Beauty Balm” when reviewing Dr. Jart+’s B.B. products several months ago, and became instantly hooked on the lighter than air, mousse-like substance. Originally created in Germany by dermatologists to aid in healing of the skin for laser surgery patients, the product gained popularity in Korea and has the opportunity to become even more mainstream via its latest iteration.
Now Garnier has perfected and made Beauty Balms easily accessible nationwide, come February 2012 with the Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector B.B. Cream. Available in two skin tones option (light/medium and medium/deep), the ultra-light substance provides SPF 15 UVA/UVB protection, 24 hour moisture, evens skin tone, gives a tint, and even includes Vitamin C. Retailing for $12.99, you really can’t beat this price and product that combos up SPF, a moisturizer, and foundation or powder coverage found in one easy step.
