now as we head into winter. You won’t get as high an SPF as if you’d
used it pure, but you’re more likely to use it regularly.” -marcia

You’ve gone organic, avoiding parabens,
synthetic colors and fragrances, sulfates an
petrochemicals. Yet you’re still usinga
chemical-laden makeup remover to sweep
away at the end of the day. Until now:

HD MAKEUP
W h a t is it? Initially developed for
on-camera use (high definition TV picks
up every little imperfection— magnify-
ing molehills into mountains), these
foundations employ light-diffusing
particles to create the illusion of even
skin without gobs of makeup.
Found in: Make Up For Ever HD,
Smashbox High Definition, and Cargo
blu_ray.
Need it o r not? Ifyou’re in the
market for a new medium- to heavy-
coverage foundation, give HD makeup
a try. I tested all three of these lines (the
foundations and concealers) and was
impressed by their sheer finishes and
how perfectly airbrushed my skin
looked afterward— and the unsolicited
compliments I received.

When the ASP
Manicure Saver Cotton
Claw landed on my
desk, I was quick to
dismiss it. Then I picked
it up again. Hmm, it
allows you to dip a
cotton ball in nail polish
remover and remove
lacquer from toes,—
without ruining your
manicure. Wow! That’s
actually pretty useful.
So I took it home, and
now I’m hooked— and
you’ll be too.
