C.O. Bigelow Chapped Hands Cleanser

I count my blessing that the dry skin I experience just about everywhere else on my body doesn’t extend to my hands. Phew! One less place to worry about flaky, gross dry skin.

However, if you happen to have dry or chapped hands, the new C.O. Bigelow Chapped Hands Cleanser may be something that could help!

Beauty on a Budget Spotlight: New Makeup Available At The Drugstore

new in Beauty drugstore

If you’ve been reading Musings for a while, I’m sure you recall the days that I didn’t review drugstore brands (US ones anyway). Things have changed considerably in the last year or so and I’ve embraced alot of US drugstore brands as I wanted to cover all aspects of beauty not just high end but also lower.

This past Spring (and some of Summer if you consider it Summer already) has been an incredible time for drugstore releases. Makeup quality has changed in the past few months as have the releases in store which had made going to my local drugstore a rather fun experience rather than a chore. Granted, not ever release is a good one but hunting down new products and finding gems in the rough so to speak is always great fun.

Do take a look at the slide show below for some of the latest and greatest releases that are available now at your local drugstores. Some are well worth checking out!

If you’re reading via RSS please visit my blog to view the slide show.

Have you hauled any of these items or collections for yourself?

Votre Vu Duette Luxe Lip Balm and Hand Creme Review

Marked at a whopping $39, I could swear to it that Votre Vu Duette Luxe Lip Balm and Hand Creme is thee most expensive hand cream my hands have ever seen! I actually spend $18 on Lush Smitten and dude, even that’s expensive to me. I guess I’m of the mentality that any hand cream will do and I’d rather dish out alot on skincare for my face rather than my hands…..

Votre Vu Duette Luxe Lip Balm and Hand Creme could change my mind though.

Zoya Nail Polish Exchange

Zoya Nail Polish

Here’s an interesting concept….

Say you have several (or several hundred) old bottles of nail polish laying around or half empty or maybe a shade you never use anymore.

What if I told you that you can exchange that polish for a brand new bottle of Zoya Nail Polish?
