NO TCHOTCHKE: NEW MUST-HAVE BEAUTY BUYS

Call me the ultimate BEAUTY BUY IT AND TRY IT girl!I'm always picking up new things just to see if they work. I figured why not share my findings and decided to dedicate this edition of NO TCHOTCHKE to recent great beauty buys!The Tan Towel $5 to try one at Nordstrom or 10-pk for $21 online. This is like a wet wipe. You can rub it on your face and all over your body. The best part it's not messy, doesn't leave streaks or color that rubs off on clothes and it's citrus scent smells great! Take a couple hours to kick in... I applied right after a shower before heading out to an event last Saturday!
White Intense Eye Pencil by CHANEL $26.50This is the only CHANEL make-up item I own. I use it to delicately line my bottom lid. It has a soft crayon effect when applying and I find it subtly gives the eye a little spark. For a big night out..use it on your top lid and top it off with a pair of my favorite faux lashes by MAC! Style #7 is natural glam!
Botanical Kinetics Skin Firming/toning Agent by Aveda $17 at Aveda I spritz my face & neck 3-4 times EVERY MORNING with this stuff! The light mist gives your face an "I'm breathing!" feeling. Plus, it's an excellent moisturizer for the skin!

FAT HAIR "0" Calories Thickening Spray $7.99 at any drugstore I spray this on my damp hair before I blow dry. It's ultra light spritz helps thicken the hair for a more volumunous look. It's great for my line of work where I need a full hairstyle to stay on-air ready for five hours straight.

Cafe' Steamers by Healthy Choice $3 at any grocer. OMG! My first meal was so easy, so yummy, filling and above all only 260 calories! Whoo hoo!Each Café Steamer comes in a plastic bowl with a strainer attached above. The bulk of the meal; vegetables, meat, pasta or rice, are on the top of the strainer. The sauce is underneath it. You put the whole bowl in the microwave, cook it, then dump the food portion into the sauce!

Kellogg's ALL BRAN Fiber Drink Mix to-go! $4.48 for 10 packets at Wal-Mart (diet aisle) It's like the crystal light packets just packed with FIBER! 10 grams per little packet in fact. Each one is only 20 calories. I add the mix to a full bottle of water twice a day. I'm drinking the Ice Tea flavor now but hear the pink lemonade is the bomb!

SPLURGE: So here's something that's so bad for you it's good! Starbucks just came out with the raspberry/apricot scone tart thingy. It's jammed with 310 calories but you know what... so what!
