We’ve been reading about Product Body and their incredible line of bath & body products for nearly a year but only tried them for the first time last week. Finally.

We were most excited to try Crush On You, the Ultra Plush Sugar Shea Scrubby Wash that everyone’s talking about. While the scent we tried, Yuzu, was a little too citrus-y for us, the product itself is INCREDIBLE. Our skin is so smooth and soft, we feel like we’ve had a glycolic treatment over our entire body.

(And you probably don’t know who The Jets are because you were probably born in the 80’s and have skin so incredible you’ve never even heard of a glycolic treatment much less experienced one, but every time we use this product we get Crush on You by The Jets stuck in our head.) (Shut up. It was 1986 and we didn’t know any better.)

The bad thing about Crush On You is that our husband discovered it and can’t keep his hands off it. He’s enchanted with the Yuzu scent. Of course he’ll never admit this (in fact he might just show the kids our secret stash of Milk Duds if he finds out we’ve told you) but he’s referring to our Crush On You as if it were his. When we tried to hide it from him he was all Where did you put my scrubby stuff ?

We also tried the Product Body Cream, also in Yuzu, and OHMYGOD this stuff is like nothing we’ve tried before. In a futile attempt to describe this to our friend we were like It’s sooooo soft. And cushiony. And creamy. And soft. You HAVE to try it.

I’m sure she thinks we’re nuts.

But seriously. You HAVE to try it.

Since becoming completely and utterly enamored with Kenzo Amour we couldn’t wait to get our hands on the newest Kenzo fragrance: FlowerByKenzo Summer.

This musky floral scent is everything you want for summer and more. With a vanilla base and notes of Bulgarian rose and gardenia blossom (on our skin, we barely detect the gardenia) this fresh scent is ideal for a day in the summer sun as it is light, playful and alcohol free.

Kenzo FlowerbyKenzo Summer Fragrance is Limited Edition for Summer 2007 and available exclusively at Sephora.

We can always count on Bobbi Brown to deliver a palette we can’t live without. These sunkissed neutrals are all you need to look fabulous on the beach or in the office this summer.

With two of our favorite Bobbi Brown eyeshadows — Bone and Chocolate Brown — along with a blush in Bahama Brown and two Lip Shines in Bikini Pink and Bronzed Pink this Sun Kissed Face Palette will take you all the way through summer.

Hitting counters this July is MAC Rushmetal, a collection of 8 limited-edition pigments and 4 lipsticks all of which are metallics with gold-tinged finishes.

The colors included are:

Lipstick

• Thrills Rosy copper with gold pearl (frost)
• Frenzy Soft muted pinky-peach beige with gold shimmer (frost)
• Soft Lust Tan with white pearl (lustre)
• Fast Lane Mauve with silver pearl (lustre)

Pigments

• Off The Radar Warm orange with gold sparkle
• Copperized Olive green with gold pearl
• Quick Frost Creamy white with soft green pearl
• Cocomotion Dirty gold with olive undertone and gold sparkle

We’ll can never resist an olive green, so Copperized will be ours for sure. Also, Mauvement sounds incredible (probably because we’re a cool-color kind of girl). As usual, we can’t wait.

Smashbox just released Sunset Boulevard, their Summer 2007 Collection, and we must have the Fusion Bronzing Body Powder Set .

Three shades of silky powder bronzer for the body with a sweet tropical fragrance is not something we can easily walk away from. Especially if it means we can give our skin a break from the hideous smell of self-tanning lotions (which, quite frankly, we’re totally sick of already — and summer hasn’t even officially started yet!).

Everything about Guerlain’s popular Terracotta Collection symbolizes excellence.

Maybe it’s because our mother’s Shalimar was so revered when we were growing up — sitting high up on a bathroom shelf, used only by our mother for the most special of special occasions (we were only allowed to sniff from afar) — but we have a certain unhealthy respect for Guerlain products. Guerlain can almost do no wrong (we say almost because, remember Mahora?).

In the land of Makeup Bag, Guerlain bronzers are the King of the Hill — second to none– and now, with the Terracotta Collection 2007, they have taken bronzing one step further.

Guerlain Terracotta Spray Powder!

It’s like airbrushing a fine mist of bronzer onto your skin, leaving you with an even, radiant glow.

At $54 for 2.5 oz, it seems a little pricey, but a little goes a long long way. One bottle will last you forever.

Have a happy and safe Memorial Day Weekend!

We just arrived home from a one-day business trip to Salt Lake City that began at 3:30 this morning.

Sort of.

Our alarm was set for 3:30 a.m. but since we were up until well after midnight last night trying to get our photo-banner-thingy on our new site to work (we were unsuccessful, but it’s finally working now — yay!) we lingered in bed for half a second before getting up.

Sort of.

When we opened our eyes, it was 4:22 a.m — meaning, we had precisely 8 minutes to get ourself ready and out the door.

After screaming a few expletives to no one in particular while turning circles of confusion in our dark bedroom, we realized nothing would change the fact that the airport is 30 miles away and we needed to be there by 5:00 a.m.

We quickly pulled our hair into a messy-chic ponytail (our favorite day-two-hair look), threw some makeup into our tote bag with the intention of applying it after we made it safely through the security line, and slipped on the worst shoes we could have possibly selected for travelling. (What can we say, we hadn’t had our coffee yet.)

Where we were lacking in shoe-choosing abilities, we totally made up for in our Makeup Bag. After just ten minutes in the airport bathroom we showed no evidence of having less than 4 hours of sleep and actually felt confident and ready to take on our busy day.

Our must-have beauty items? (We thought you’d never ask.)

TheBalm Hot Mama, a multi-tasking peachy pink highlighting blush that instantly flatters and illuminates a sub-par complexion, giving the fresh-faced illusion of well rested skin.

Prescriptives Site Unseen, a brand new concealer from Prescriptives that has SPF 15, helps to visibly firm skin, and comes in a convenient mess-free pen that’s perfect for girls on the go.

Brown Cross Lashes, a Makeup Bag quick-fix for days when we need a little extra help. We love how these give our lashes fullness without being over the top.

Aside from having to walk six blocks in three-inch pumps, our day in Salt Lake City turned out better than we imagined. We caught up with an old friend, Melissa, over lunch and dished about our favorite beauty products and some SECRETS (because what are friends for if not a little hot gossip?) before heading off to our meeting.

Now we’re finally home and laughing to ourself because Melissa just left us a message that she stopped by the cosmetics counter on her way home and threw down $200 on some of our product recommendations.

Now, that’s what friends are for.
