Korres Black Tea & Verbena Anticellulite Cream-Gel (2009) {New Beauty Product - Body}

Korres Natural Products, a brand hailing from Greece, has introduced a new product for the body called Black Tea & Verbena Anti-Cellulite Cream-Gel. It is meant to be a complementary addition to the anti-cellulite program created by the brand with "Guarana exfoliating body soap, Geranium and Grapefruit massage oil for firming body and reducing the appearance of cellulite and Prunella and Grape firming body cream gel." The claim is to reduce the appearance of cellulite rather than zap it as well as to help "contour" the body...

I caved for the 1950s-inspired Elizabeth 8 Hours lip balm, but more because it was so good than because of the packaging.

Columnist Edwina Ings-Chambers writes,

"We all have one beauty product that we buy (or would if we could) for nostalgic reasons. For me, it's Blue Grass by Elizabeth Arden, the body lotion in particular. That's what my mother prized, back in the days when it was still blue (the pale, romantic shade of an old silk nightdress).
