Perhaps it’s best if you don’t try suki’s balancing day lotion. Once you do, you simply won’t be able to live without it. suki’s balancing day lotion (formerly known as "velvet facial creme") is a lightweight and gentle moisturizer. This lotion absorbs in a flash, making it perfect for day-wear beneath makeup. Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, this skin treat is also specifically formulated to reduce inflammation and redness. Organic herbs calm even the angriest red skin. It’s a miracle for the red-cheeked masses!
balancing day lotion also happens to be incredibly versatile. Used in conjunction with suki color’s tinted active moisturizer (pictured below, and a favorite of Raging Rouge from the moment I felt its soothing effect on my skin), you can ensure a perfect match with your complexion. I’ve also mixed this moisturizer with countless other foundations, creating a lighter, dewier version of my favorite makeup in a flash. balancing day lotion is also great if you’re running low on a favorite foundation. Just combine it with suki balancing day lotion and you’ll have one last application to last until you hit the store for a refill!
Another interesting bonus: The design of the bottle enables you to get every last drop of product out. Don’t you hate when you purchase high-end skincare, and can’t get to that last bit of it, sitting there like liquid gold at the bottom of the jar?
suki balancing day lotion retails for $31.95 on the suki website.
sukicolor tinted active moisturizer SPF retails for $45.95 on the sukicolor website.
You can also shop for suki products at upurea.com.

Speaking of the return of lipstick, Urban Decay has released a collection of 22–count them–22 different shades of rich, creamy color for the Fall. Ranging in shades from deep, dark red to pale, shimmery taupe, every color you could possibly need in your makeup arsenal is represented.
I love the Gen X-inspired packaging. It's glamorous with a hint of wickedness, a heavy purple tube adorned with a dagger. Enjoy the little details on this lipstick… Urban Decay thought of everything! Twist the lipstick out of its tube and you'll spy a dagger and the words "Urban Decay" actually etched into the side of the product like a secret message to each owner. Love it!
Sure, I'm a sucker for cool packaging, but the product is superior as well (or I wouldn't be mentioning it here)! My lips feel moisturized when I apply these lippies (thanks to Vitamins A, C and E in the formula). Lips look smoother, and the color lasts eternally. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the yummy scent of caramel!
Older consumers may be put-off by the youthful packaging of these products. That's truly a shame, because Urban Decay has proved with their Fall 2008 collection that their makeup is decidedly sophisticated.
Urban Decay Lipstick retails for $22.
