It’s almost February, and everything should darn well be coming up roses. The new Spring 2009 Roseflower Make-up collection from The Body Shop sounds cliche (and yes, it is), but we can think of the entire army of prom-bound teens and sweethearts in love stocking up.
Roseflower Eyes (duh, eyeshadow!)

These two neat eyeshadows have an embossed rose design. There’s a trace of shimmer, plus it’s highly emollient with marula nut oil and shea butter.
Lippies (in Soft Pink, True Pink, Deep Pink)

We have an exclusive sneak peek at Guerlain’s new lipstick introduction, called “Rouge G de Guerlain.” I’m sorry this picture is the best I could get (stay tuned for swatches). Made with REAL Ruby particles and mango butter, this lipstick will retail for $45 at retailers worldwide, starting in March.

So when we discovered Pravana Naturceuticals Sulfate-Free Pure Light Brightening Shampoo and Pure Lightening Conditioner (try saying that ten times fast), we thought we’d reached the Promised Land.According to Pravana, its products are “a unique hybrid of European artistry, ancient Mayan natural botanicals and innovative American technology.” In plain English, Pravana uses a duel ultra-violet dye system …

Here’s a name synonymous with “excellence” in my books: Ojon.
This morning, in the freezing, Tundra-like weather, I attended a breakfast presentation at the United Nations where Ojon unveiled their newest launch — the Batana Collection. If you’re familiar with Ojon, you’ll know that the Tawira tribe of Central America is well-known for their luxurious, thick hair.
They tribe used a precious oil all over their body: for their face, hair, skin. The “oil” in the native Tawira language is known as “Batana.”
The Batana Body Cream retails for $40. PLEASE buy it. …
