[The essie gel couture ballet nudes shades lineup]
The launch of any new essie collection is always exciting, but I’m particularly smitten with the latest one, essie gel couture ballet nudes. The formula and neutral shades will have your nails “on pointe,” as the color easily glides on and compliments not only that classic ballet uniform of pale pink tights and slippers coupled with a black leotard, but all current on-trend hues in fashion.

Continually improving on its offerings, Aveeno has teamed up with an unlikely source of inspiration for its latest skincare items: yogurt. Before you scratch your head, let me explain: yogurt is rich in essential vitamins, lactose, proteins, lactose acid and lipids, which can be just as good soaking into your skin as it is ingesting it. Combined with Aveeno’s Active Naturals Oatmeal, it makes a blockbuster body wash and moisturizer.
The Daily Moisturizing Body Yogurt Lotion features the Activbind Complex for long-lasting moisture that can leave skin hydrated for 48 hours, while the Body Wash includes Natrasurf technology to aid in gently cleansing skin without stripping it of its essential oils. Both products come in the scent selections of Vanilla & Oat or Apricot & Honey (my personal favorite), available now for $7.49 (body wash) and $7.99 (lotion) at food, health, and drug retailers nationwide, such as Target.
It’s about time to kiss winter skin woes goodbye, once and for all, with a little oatmeal and yogurt as your dryness-fighting artillery!
