Detroit Free Press Georgea Kovanis column: Bright boots for a rainy day.(Column)
…If you're not inclined to spend $145 on rain boots but want to keep your feet dry, think about the oh-so-cheerful floral print Wellies from L.L. Bean.They're $49.50 at www.llbean.com.
I got a pair of Wellies last year and they never fail to brighten even the dreariest of rainy days.
Lip gloss that's good for you
The makers of Tarte cosmetics think we need to be aware of this rather disturbing news: The average woman eats between 2 and 4 pounds -- or 708 tubes -- of lip gloss and lipstick during her lifetime.
Which is why Tarte is introducing a new line of vitamin-infused lip gloss called Inside Out.
Teamed with Borba, which makes natural skin care products and drinks that are supposed to keep us looking young, Tarte is selling three shades of its good-enough-to-eat gloss -- Om (sheer and shimmery pale pink); Apple-a-Day (sheer shimmery hot pink) and Liquid Sunshine (sheer, shimmery nude.)
Each tube is $21. To shop online or find stores that sell it: www.tartecosmetics.com.
