Thyme Honey Cream by Korres!

What it is:
A 24-hour moisturizing cream enriched with Thyme Honey, for normal and dry skin.

What it is formulated to do:
Real Thyme Honey acts as a hydro-regulating agent, ensuring optimal hydration levels all day. Plus it improves skin elasticity and contains powerful antioxidants, which protect skin from premature aging due to environmental factors.

What else you need to know:
The ancient Greeks believed that honey dripped from the skies together with the morning dew and covered the flowers, from which the tireless bees would collect it later in the day. Shouldn’t you have something as pure? Dermatologist tested, paraben-, silicone-, and ethanolamine-free, and contains no mineral oil or propylene glycol.

Eva Green on the red carpet at the Golden Compass world premiere in London. What do you think of her makeup? Is it too severe or ok for a red carpet event? What I don’t understand is why she has really light foundation from her chin to her eyebrows and her forehead looks bare?

If you are more of an all over foundation person and you like to color match with your skin try:

Katie Price (aka Jordan) has always been a big fan of perfume and thinks it’s important for a girl to smell nice, so now finally has a fragrance of her own. Ms. Price said in a statement. “It’s taken 14 months to create, as I wanted something floral and feminine but still strong. It smells beautiful and I think a lot of women will love it just like I do.”

Only place I can find that you can buy this crap is on eBay.  I don’t know if I want to spend much more time trying to find it for sale elsewhere.

Here are some very unsexy perfume ads.  Enjoy!

Jocelyn and I went to see August Rush on Friday night and I loved it. It was  a little predictable but I thought overall it was a great movie.  I love Keri Russell ( I am still waiting for a Felicity movie) and I think Freddie Highmore is an amazing little actor.

Keri looked flawless on screen her skin always seems to be glowing she looks amazing for a new mom. If you weren’t born with the same great skin as Keri now you can fake it with Bare Escentuals Luminous skin collection.

Let me just start off by saying that was a really depressing show to watch!  It was Oprah’s annual “Favorite Things” episode, where she gives everyone in the audience thousands of dollars worth of her favorite things.  To see the complete list of gifts each audience member received this year, go here.  It ranges everywhere from a $40 set of soaps to a $3,799 refrigerator.  And yes, everyone in the audience received this refrigerator (with built in tv and digital cookbook).  It’s CRAZY! 

The cool part about this show was that none of the women in the audience knew they were on the Favorite Things show.  When Oprah told them – I’m serious – it was almost a riot.  Women were going NUTS! Crying, dancing, dang near passing out.  It was very intense.  Now that I’ve seen one of these shows – and see how much Oprah gives away, I might have fainted myself!

While I wouldn’t spend money on things like this, it doesn’t mean I don’t want you to buy it for me for Christmas.  Not everything on Oprah’s must-have list was out of our price range.  There were a couple products that I actually wouldn’t mind trying – and would make even better gift ideas.  Here are a couple of my favorite things from Oprah’s favorite things.

CLAUS PORTO SOAPS FROM LAFCO NEW YORK

These all-natural, bath-sized shea butter bars distributed by Lafco New York are a labor of love. They have been created by the Claus Porto’s family-run factory in Portugal for the past 117 years. The jumbo-sized soaps appeal to the senses with beautiful wrappers and 17 magnificent scents, from honeysuckle to grapefruit fig. “They make great hostess gifts,” Oprah says.

KAI BODY BUTTER and BODY BUFFER

“Bathing is an art form and nobody enjoys it more than I do,” Oprah says. Kai customized their signature scent into a moisturizing body butter in a tub just for Oprah. “It’s clean and fresh,” she says. She also loves the Body Buffer by Kai, which combines an exfoliating loofah and cleansing soap all in one. Just wet and squeeze to release foaming bubbles that smell like an exotic garden.

• Approximate value: Body Buffer $28; Body Butter $55
