Lippman was all over the digits of Kate Winslet at the Oscars and also decorated Miss Mary J. at the Grammys. What keeps celebrities and beauty editors hot for Lippmann’s polishes are simply shine, color, and durability. My favorite this season is Fashion. It has a blonde, taupe matte finish. If you want a bit of sparkly zest on the top, layer a coat of Diamonds and Pearls. Its Kate’s favorite!

It’s the go-between if you’re still enjoying the edginess of the darker shades but want to lighten up into something less blood black. This color works on light and dark skin tones, and looks toe-tastic on feet!

This isn’t a cheap cream, but it delivers results far beyond its price. Winter time does a number on hands and nothing helped heal the flakes to restructure my paws better than Strivectin-HC. I ‘ve always used a prescription cream that smelled a bit on the burnt side, so you can imagine my glee when I found this hand healer with its refreshing minimal scent. Thank you once again Strivectin!

Strivectin- HC Hand Cream, $38

I originally wanted to write solely about the Lemon Ginger Mint Manicure in a Jar, but found this kit for an incredibly reasonable price. The super lemon-ginger minty scrubber sloughs away nasty dryness and leaves hands soft and moisturized after rinsing. The set has an added Lemon Jojoba cuticle oil and Lemon and Rose Hand Cream with some nail perfecting utensils like an orange stick and a file. Carol’s Daughter always has very generous portions of their naturally healing potions. This kit will last you until next season!
