Products to Help You Look Your Best
CREAM OF THE CROP?
First BB creams ( aka blemish or beauty balms) were all the rage. Now come CC ( color- correcting) creams, which moisturize, soothe, and protect like their BB brethren but also help to even out your skin tone. The new Yes to Grapefruit CC Creams ($ 14.99) come in light and light- medium shades and use ingredients like natural pigments and evodia fruit to help correct skin tone, reduce fine lines, and give your complexion a luminous glow. To see if they’ll work wonders for your face, head to Ulta at the Bell Tower Shops in Fort Myers ( 239- 334- 0659, ulta. com) or Coconut Point in Estero ( 239- 992- 0361) or area locations of Target, Walmart, and Walgreens.
KITTED OUT
The Sanibel Day Spa at Periwinkle Place ( 239395- 2220, sanibeldayspa. com) has long been a fan of skin- care products from B. Kamins, using them in its signature facial and other treatments. Now B. Kamins has created specially themed kits made exclusively for the spa ($ 60 to $ 100) to help brighten the skin, provide sun protection and relief, or simply help customers establish a basic skin- care routine. Pick one up to continue the soothing spa experience at home.
LUSCIOUS LIPS
A staple of Hollywood celebs and makeup artists, the Cargo cosmetics brand recently launched its first- ever lipstick collection. Available in thirteen shades, Cargo’s Essential Lip Color ($ 22) offers wearers both saturated hues and lip- plumping power. Olive oil, jojoba, and shea butter extracts provide moisture and enhance wearability, while a combination of peptides reinforces connective tissue for fuller and more voluminous lips.
