Being beautiful can be such a chore! There are so many products that profess Herculean feats to enhance one’s hair or skin and others promise that one make-up application will swivel every head in the room. We have been searching for such products and while we are often disappointed, we have compiled a list of beauty products that we think you will enjoy.

You ever see that girl whose hair is so perfect and shiny, you wish you could trip her just to give her a flaw? That girl probably is using Nexxus products. We sampled some of their newest offerings and they do not disappoint! You too can read about how to make your hair look like salon-ready in just minutes.

Beauty truly is only skin-deep so why not take care of the skin that you are in? This means hair maintenance, people! Biotherm’s new Source Therapie Superactiv is a skincare product that helps to rejuvenate the skin and helps to prevent premature aging. A true must have for a younger, fresher looking glow.

Good solid straightening products are difficult to find. We wanted to find something that could give us the look and support of hair that has been worked on for hours for a mere fraction of the time. MAXIglide, by Maxius Systems, heats up in seconds and guarantees salon style hair in minutes! Talk about functional. Because Maxius understands that women want it all, they also created MINIglide, a purse-size version for on the go styling that is prompt and not messy. We bow down!

Make-up can make or break an outfit or a mood. We can never get enough of it! This issue, we highlight the new Clarins Express Compact Foundation. Clarins manages an on-the-go formula that leaves skin radiant and your confidence will soar. The sleek designs are modern and feminine and quite essential for every woman.

Our sense of smell is so pivotal to how we translate the world. Did you know that if you couldn’t smell you wouldn’t be able to taste food properly? We selected Marc Jacobs as our fragrance for this issue because of the nostalgia that is evoked by his three new fragrances: Grass, Rain and Cotton. These fragrances remind us of our halcyon days when bills were not a factor and we were in and out love every week. Marc Jacobs helps us to hold on to that memory. Moreover, he reminds us that a memorable scent can be the difference between who gets a call back and who gets ignored - - and who gets remembered.

We hope you enjoy our picks. We love that these products are all fabulous and fairly priced, without sacrificing quality. Enjoy!
