12 Ways We Love to Be Beautiful

July/August 2008 Issue | Posted by Robyn Lee in Insider

1. Catchall

“Rosetti purses are reasonable, and the styles are attractive as well as practical. There are lots of compartments rather than a big gaping sack to lose things in.” $45, from Sears (in stores only).

— Daria Sockey

2. Compatibility Test

L’oreal True Match Foundation. “The display case often has all the shades of foundation available to find your match. Hold one over your hand and the color that disappears over your own skin is your match.” $10.49, find where to buy at LorealParisUSA.com

— Daria Sockey

3. Color Purple

“I like eyeliner, but I find black to be a bit too Gothic or theatrical, especially in the daytime. But purple eyeliner highlights my dark brown eyes nicely. Almay Intense I-Color is good to wear with my contacts and much less irritating than many other brands.” $7.49, find where to buy at Almay.com

— Daria Sockey

4. Energizer Lipstick

“After an hour, all-day lipsticks make your lips feel cakey and weird, but Revlon Colorstay Lipcolor is smooth and perfect for hours and hours. The best part is the name of my favorite color: ‘The Bare Maximum.’ Seriously. Who would not want to wear that?” $9.99, find where to buy at Revlon.com

5. Delicate Aroma

“I like to wear Estee Lauder’s classic Youth Dew for dressy occasions because it’s long-lasting and makes me feel elegant and refined!” $28 (2.25 ounces), from EsteeLauder.com
— Celeste Behe

6. Healthy Glow

“I love Cover Girl Bronzer with minerals. Since winter lasts about nine months here in N.H., I find I need to ‘fake some color’ now and then. This does the trick without looking fake or overly made-up. $7.99, find where to buy at CoverGirl.com

— Danielle Bean

7. Under the Sea

“Sabon soaps are such a treat. The natural loofah in the soap softens tough spots like elbows, knees, and feet. My favorite scent is the Lychee.” Sold in 3.5-ounce pieces. $6.28, from SabonNYC.com

— Robyn Lee

8. Scintillating Moisturizer

“Quench Body Lotion is made by Olay and has little sparkles in the lotion. It smells nice, and I L-O-V-E it!” $5.99 (8.4 ounces), find where to buy at Olay.com

— April Hoopes

9. Natural Indulgence

“Lemon Myrtle Shampoo (Normal to Oily Hair) has a wonderful lemony smell and makes your hair shine; plus there are no harmful ingredients that are common in hair care products.” $19.95, from MioneGroup.com

— Lori Hadacek Chaplin

10. Sun Security

“I love my rhinestone sunglasses. I practically live with sunglasses on all through the summer (and most of the winter too, come to think of it). The rhinestones are a fun and instant way to ‘glam up’ your look.” Try style No. 15037. $16.95, from SunglassWarehouse.com

11. Holy Charm

“The handmade jewelry from On This Day Designs is stylish, unique, and Catholic. I received many compliments when I wore this necklace.” $60, from OnThisDayDesigns.com

— Robyn Lee

12. Flashy Lashes

“I like putting on Clinique’s lash-building primer before I put on my mascara. My mascara looks nice and fresh all day.” $13, find where to buy at Clinique.com
