Every time I slather on some gloss or chapstick, I wonder how many pounds of this stuff I'll ingest over a lifetime. Not a pretty thought, but it does compel me to seek out organic brands, like Australian-based Nvey Eco. Debuting here in the US in 2006, they've just launched their 100% Certified Organic Lip Care line, which I had the happy chance to sample. Take note, this is no "earthy crunchy" affair as far as presentation is concerned; these products are slickly packaged and can hold their own next to even the heavyweights like Chanel. First step, daub on some of the Organic Lip Exfoliator ($38.00), a glossy gel, and rub your lips with a warm washcloth. Voila! Your smooth, shiny lips are ready for an application of the Certified Organic Lip Plumper ($40.00). This light gel smells like cinnamon and gives your lips a slight stinging sensation, not unlike the feeling of a little Tabasco sauce touching your lips. Left on overnight, you'll have subtly fuller lips in the morning, ready for a soothing application of the Certified Organic Lip Treatment ($36.00). Applied with your finger, this odorless balm melts on contact with your lips into a slightly glossy and very soothing base, leaving your lips perfectly moisturized, plumped, and with a nice sheen. A healthy indulgence, indeed! The entire Nvey Eco Certified Organic Lip Care line is available on their website.

TopShop is almost here!
My recent move has landed me a couple of blocks down from none other that the first U.S. outpost of TopShop! (Sorry my erratic posting schedule of the last couple of weeks -- I think I'm finally back on track!) Strolling along Broadway here in NYC, you can see the store starting to emerge from behind scaffolding. Pretty exciting, considering all the fuss TopShop has garnered from across the pond! I'll definitely be there to check it out when it finally opens, but I have to admit, if there aren't many offerings under $50, I'm going to have to curtail my urge to step in the store too frequently!
