For really dry feet I love Soul Owner from Philosophy ($14 at philosophy.com). The cream - with a hint grapefruit scent - exfoliates as it softens. It doesn't feel like your normal sloughing cream though; it has no granules. Instead, salicylic and glycolic acids work magic on your soles. For best results, slather it on, cozy into some socks and hit the hay. Moisture Quenching Hydra-Balanced Cream ($48.50/1.7 oz. at department stores Oct. 1) from our friends at Clarins gives new meaning to thirst quenching. Your skin will lap it up. And it doesn't leave that greasy aftertaste, which is great if you're in a hurry and still need to put on your make-up. Chanel's Glossimer lip glosses snuck past me when they came out this past spring ($22.50/tube at Chanel counters). My favorite is the delicious Pulsar which looks like the outside of a candy apple. Red never goes out of style. From the sophisticated French world of Bourjois comes their Effet De Nacre or Non-smudging Eye shadow ($13/tube at sephora.com). When they say non-smudging, they mean non-smudging. I took an aerobics class while wearing Pure Pearl and when I looked in the mirror afterward, the color was still there! A foam applicator wand applies the non-water-based cream (no creasing here), which comes in many colors, from a soft golden pink to metallic liquid silver. A must have. A henna mascara? I was reluctant to try this because I am a "put as much black gunk on your eyelashes as possible" (just short of Tammy Faye) kind of gal. In her new fall line Bobbi Brown delivers Henna Thickening Mascara ($16 at Bobbi Brown Counters) in crimson (red infused with a touch of black). It left my lashes looking defined without any clumping or spiking. The color is inspired by the rich, crimson fabrics that designers introduced on the Fall 2000 runways. What's great about this color is that it works with all skin tones and eye colors because of that hint of red. The mascara also comes in black, midnight and plumb, but I like the crimson best. I have always been a soap girl, so when I heard about a new facial one - The Health Bar from Philosophy ($9/3.2 oz. at philosophy.com), I had to try it. It's a high-density oat bar that cleanses gently and is just right for sensitive skin. I finally ended my quest for the perfect eye make-up remover this month. H2O Plus has Dual Action Eye Make-up Remover ($14/4.5 oz. at h2oplus.com). Even the most tenacious eye make-up can't hold up to this tough but very gentle remover. The best thing about it is that it's completely oil free, so no more oil slick 'round the eyes. Eye Shadow Loner Seeking Glam Girl: From the wonderful land of Hard Candy comes their new Loner line ($14 at eve.com and sephora.com). Yippee! Single packaged eye shadows in their trademark cool metallic case. First I got Pamper (bright baby blue) and then Love Child (metallic beige) and then I had to get all of them: Pink Eye (cotton candy pink), Shazam (smoky gray with pink glitter), Sonic (rock star black with gold glitter), Spacey (enchanting black with blue glitter), Chica (peachy honey), Groove (metallic indigo purple) and Wink (metallic toupe). The lighter colors work well for the office or out on the town. Ah, it's made eye shadow fun again. If you love Bloom products as much as I do then their new nail polish line ($10 at Sephora) will be a welcome treat. The colors are magnificent and their staying power is boundless.
