Friday Finds: February 1, 2013.

1. Dove Nourishing Curls Style+ Care Whipped Cream Mousse - $3.99
This thick, creamy mousse is giving my limp winter hair life. I haven't had such big, bouncy curls that last all day in, well, forever. Just a small amount combed through my wet hair is all I need.

2. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Concentrate - $28.00
This balm is turning my dry, scaly skin into a a super soft and smooth surface, after just a few uses. It is perfect for dry patches and areas like elbows, feet and hands. Formulated with deeply hydrating and reparative ingredients, it's like my favorite FAB Ultra Repair Cream on steroids.

3. Zelens PHA+ Bio-Peel Resurfacing Facial Pads - $95.00
I don't think my lackluster skin has looked so alive in the dead of winter before. I credit these pads for making my skin glow. Using PHA (polyhydroxy acids) plus alpha and beta hydroxy acids, these pads gently exfoliate my skin without causing irritation. I use them every morning after cleansing, in place of toning.

4. NARS Larger Than Life Lipgloss Candy Says - $26.00
This lipgloss is the perfect medium pink with a lot of white shimmer to give lips the perfect winter pick-me-up look. The gloss is thick enough to last on lips, but not overly thick where it is sticky. This shade is from the Andy Warhol collection and won't be around for ever, so I am stocking up on this perfect pink now.

1. Elemis Pro-Intense Lift Effect - $130.00
Three years of research is behind this anti-aging lotion that is doing more for my sagging skin than anything I have tried to date. You see, as we age, our skin loses its' ability to retain moisture and sagging takes place. This breakthrough formula works to to rev up the skins natural function to bring about a huge improvement in the appearance of such sagging. It tightens and firms skin where I want it.

2. Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask - $32.00
My overly thirsty skin is craving deeper hydration, especially overnight (when skin is most vulnerable to moisture loss). This mask, which is like a super rich cream, delivers intense hydration to my skin with hyaluronic aid, to lock in the moisture as I sleep.

3. Maybelline New York Color Whisper - $7.49
These new lipsticks are like a lip balm/lipstick hybrid that kiss lips in playful colors. Made of a super lightweight gel texture, the colors are soft yet pigmented at the same time. I can't get enough of the nude Bare to Be Bold or bright pink Cherry on Top. At CVS.

4. Urban Decay Makeup Setting Sprays - $29.00 each
I forgot how much I loved makeup setting sprays and Urban Decay has three specific formulas (with updated packaging!) for all skin issues. The light-as-air sprays, mist over makeup to help prevent it from fading (All Nighter), settling into fine lines (Chill) and even control oil (De-Slick). Makeup looks better and lasts longer than without. Just in case you were wondering, they were created in partnership with the makeup setting spray innovators SKINDINAVIA.
