.: Clothing Conservation

For those of us who occasionally (or regularly) get a dab of lipstick, a streak of deodorant or a dribble of salad dressing on our favorite clothes, Miss Oops Dry Sponges are a secret weapon. The small sponges are injected with special ingredients that just whisk stains away.

No one likes a hole in a toe. Heloise would have us make old socks into potholders or tea cozies, but most of us contribute them to our local landfill. Toss no more. Spanx Perfectoe! Trouser Socks have a durable reinforced rounded toe and the round shape prevents the little flaps that fold over your toes when wearing regular square-toed socks.

The Laundry Spa's Special Stain Remover is an extended warranty for underwear. It makes menstrual stains vanish. So dump the granny pants and splurge on undergarments that you won't have to toss (or banish the back of the drawer) after one little overflow. Special Stain Remover gets rid of the organic material on any washable clothing or sheets and even cleans up mattress stains.

.: Save Face

You spend 20 minutes getting your makeup on, and then you catch a glimpse of yourself in the elevator mirror an hour later and it's all but gone. What you need is a primer. Tarte Clean Slate glides on like velvet, leaving a perfect base for foundation. The silicone-based formula holds makeup in place for hours and smoothes over lines and wrinkles.

Late coming back from lunch and need to go directly into a meeting in progress? Or your date shows up at your apartment early (or he's on time, but you assumed he'd be late). If you're looking dull and pasty spritz your face with Kinerase Hydrating Antioxidant Mist. The mist is also great for plane travel and to keep in your climate controlled office or cubicle to stave of dryness while setting makeup.

If you tend to get shiny rather than dull after a few hours, Boscia Green Tea Blotting Linens will do the trick. The finely woven linen sheets absorb oil and soothe skin without disturbing your makeup.

.: Lip Color that Lasts

A super product that won't smear right off is Victoria's Secret's Make It Last Enduring Lip Shine. It is a two-parter, a color base plus a glossy top coat. There are twelve subtle colors that look great with myriad skin tones. The sexy wet look stands up through lattes, sushi, a cocktails and a good-night kiss.

Maybelline Superstay 16 Hour Color plus Conditioning Balm is a fab stay-on-all-day lip color in vibrant shades. The conditioning balm feels great and has a gorgeous sheen.

.: Hold that ‘Do

Lengthen the life of your blow dry using professional quality Industrie Thermal Round brushes. The ceramic coating gets hot quickly and stays hot. The handle is incredibly comfortable to hold made of a special liquid gel.

Not matter how retro the concept, hair spray works. We love Kiehls modern Climate-Proof Shine-Enhancing Non-Aerosol Spray. This simple spray will keep hair in place whether you are Electric Sliding at a wedding or falling asleep in your chair at a conference.

When circumstances dictate a long stretch between dye jobs (or should we call them 'color treatments') John Frieda Luminous Color Glaze can supply the needed color boost, hides grays and adds shine. This glosser is available in six shades to complement your hair color.

Keep the "just walked out of the salon" look last. We love Jonathan Product Redo Freshen-Up Mist. It was created by Jonathan Antin, who you may know from the Bravo Show Blow Out. Spray it on a few hours, or even the next day after styling for a soft, dewy and fresh look. Jonathan uses it on models all the time. It smells fabulous and you can use it to freshen skin, too. One of our friends uses it on her kids when they have bed head. Wonder if it works on labradoodles?

.: No Labor Lost on Nails

When nails look a little ragged, do you forage in your closet for some closed-toe slides and some gloves or do you bite the bullet and do your own nails. Don't waste your effort, use products that last on your fingers and toes. We love Carolyn New York Gotmyback Base Coat. It goes on smoothly and improves inter-coat adhesion. Carolyn New York Nail Polish withstands swimming pools, sand, salt water and clumsiness and comes in funky and functional colors.

For the finishing touch try Estée Lauder Pure Color Instant Finish Quick-Dry Top Coat. No cloudiness, chips or goop. Use this daily to get maximum mileage from a home or salon pedicure or manicure.

One more step to keep nails in tip top shape between pedicures is Creative Nail Design Solar Oil Conditioner. It conditions and softens cuticles, eliminating dryness and painful areas.
