We love how calming this daily moisturizer is. It doesn’t have SPF so we reach for it when we know we’ll be glued to our desk all day. Rich in antioxidants and other anti-aging ingredients, Nourish helps to encourage collagen production and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. But we just like the way it makes our skin feel.

This fragrance reminds us of being a teenager. Every time we spritz it on, we’re back in high school, living with our dad, driving a white Toyota Tercel hatchback with "Lassa" vanity plates. For several days now, we’ve tried to figure out the connection—why this fragrance brings us back 20 years—but we’re perplexed. Could this be similar to the Liz Claiborne triangle bottle that so many of our friends wore back then? It’s been forever since we sniffed that…we hardly remember it. Green Tea Lotus has notes of Cherry Blossom, Blossoming Lotus, Green Tea and White Birch. Our only wish is that Green Tea Lotus had longer staying power. The scent seems to disappear as quickly as it arrives. Either way, those were happy, carefree days that make us smile remembering them.

While in Los Angeles for the Total Beauty Blog Summit in May, we received a sample of RAW Minerals Mineral Foundation in Light 3. The shade seemed a little dark for our skin at first, but now that summer is in full swing and our freckles are coming out to play, it’s nearly a perfect match. We love how simple and easy this foundation is. We can achieve a full-coverage look in less than 10 seconds—and it lasts all day. RAW Minerals contains no talc or alcohol and won’t clog pores. It has skin-enhancing active botanicals to smooth and firm skin and reduce the appearance of redness. The lighweight, hydrating formula leaves our skin feeling natural and clean. While this product is great, beware of the "FREE" sample offer. Many have claimed to have gotten taken by this brand with credit card charges and "FREE" monthly samples that they didn't want. Be sure to read the fine print if you take advantage of their offer.

Joining our two favorite Estee Lauder serums (Advanced Night Repair and Idealist) this summer is Lauder’s most comprehensive wrinkle lifting treatement to date. This potent serum helps skin boost natural collagen production, smells delish and feels ultra smooth when applied. With a NEW exclusive Peptide Fragment that is so small (six times smaller than most common peptides) it penetrates to the deepest layers of the surface of the skin and begins to stimulate new collagen production. After just two weeks, the skin around our eyes appears smoother and our fine lines less noticeable. So far there’s been no difference in our freckles age spots, but we’ll keep you posted in the next several weeks.

Long Last Glosswear SPF 15 creates a protective seal for maximum sun protection and long-lasting benefits. If you like a stickier gloss, this is for you. Personally, the sticky gloss isn't for me, but this definitely lasts longer than a lightweight gloss and the sun protection factor is a huge plus.

We fell in love with this lip balm posing as lip gloss in May 2007 when it first launched. With four popular shades brought back (Deep Sigh, Hush Hush, Take a Hint and Pucker ) and six brand new ones, how is a girl to choose? We want them all. Tendertones are super moisturizing with a delicate strawberry-kiwi flavor. Keep one on your desk and see how fast it disappears (you’ll be applying and re-applying ALL. DAY. LONG.).

This creamy gel liner is smudge free, water resistant, and long lasting. My favorite shade is the Chocolate Shimmer Ink. What I like best about this gel eyeliner is that it's not as wet as some of the other brands. This makes for easy, mess-free application (try the Laura Mercier flat eyeliner brush for super easy lining). The downside is that the product dries out faster. Be sure to keep the lid tight!

This has been a staple of mine for over 15 years. I buy the big refill bottle at a beauty supply store. I have one on my desk, one in each bathroom and several in my manicure set. I don't like that the threading on the teeny 1/8 oz bottle doesn't close tight. I've bought two of them and they both end up leaking in my handbag. I guess this is where the solid comes in handy...

I love how this is so light and easy, yet gives a nice amount of coverage without being heavy. Because it's mineral based, it doesn't clog my pores or cake up. I can brush this on quickly and feel polished in 5 seconds.

I'm part Japanese and this is the only mascara that really holds the curl in my stick-straight lashes. Even if I use another mascara-- this always goes on as a base to keep my lashes curled. I've found I can use a less expensive mascara over the top and my tube lasts longer. Be sure to hold a makeup-remover-soaked cotton pad on each eye for several seconds before gently rubbing off. This stuff is really waterproof.
