I have a ton of lip glosses, lip sticks, lip crayons, etc. and when I come across a new one I just have to try it! But no all of them work so well and when you are on the run and need to put on lip gloss in a hurry, where’s the mirror? That is why I love pHmatchmaker pH powered lip gloss. This lip gloss by Physicians Formula reacts to your own lip pH and creates a flattering color just for you that lasts for 10 hours. It also has an LED powered cap so you can see your lips when you apply. Did I mention the mirror on the side?? What a fab idea. They are fragrance free, gluten and paraben free. The cost is $9.95.
I also tested out a few of Physicians Formula’s other great products. The sexy booster glossy stain is another great product. It is a gloss and stain hybrid formula that lasts 12 hours. They infused it with ingredients that mimic the effect of pheromones and it has a scent of vanilla and musk. It comes in red and pink and it is $9.95.
I also loved the Happy Booster, a glow and mood boosting illuminating bronzing veil. Made of powdered heats in a compact, the gold and bronze hearts provide a shimmery glow of bronzer. It costs $13.95.
The mineral wear talc-free airbrushing pressed bronzer SPF 30 is an ultra fine pressed bronzer that is perfect for sensitive or breakout-prone skin. It has Vitamins A & E and formulated with Chamomile, Ginseng and Green Tea for a flawless look. It comes in light bronzer and bronzer and costs $13.95.

Is your deodorant working for you? Have you checked the ingredients on the label? In an effort to try to find myself a product that works and does not have yucky chemicals in it, I discovered GEODEO Natural Deodorant Plus Detox Complex. The 97% natural deodorant glides on clear and provides 24 hours of protection without the use of aluminum, parabens and silicone. It actually uses volcanic minerals and Icelandic algae to fight impurities found in the body and fight daily buildup. It does not block pores. It allows the pores to excrete toxins naturally through the process of sweating but the active enzymes in GEODEO helps neutralize body odors. It also contains bamboo and aloe to nourish the skin as well as contains vitamin E! The Island is my favorite as smells great. It is available in Unscented, Ocean and Island and costs $5.99. Check it out!

We love our pets and of course if you have a pet there is a stocking hung by the chimney for Christmas. We talked about pet gifts and more on today’s trendymommies report on 980 WCAP.
Who doesn’t want a matching collar and leash from Melrose based Lilly & Abbie? This online store that allows you to design your own custom products including pet beds and more.
Animal Planet has a great Plush dog toy set. The 4 pack is so cute with a hidden squeaker inside each of the little animals. $19.99 Kohls
Here is something very creative: Crinkits gives your dog an interactive toy they won’t want to put down. Crinkits from Zigoopets.com is designed to provide protection around a water bottle. $19.99
Today on 980 WCAP-AM we talked holiday decorating and stocking stuffer gift ideas. I have gathered some great finds for my TV segment. Here are just a few that I have tested out!
I wish I thought of this great invention called Boottights.com – a sock and tight all in one.  There are lots of colors and styles to choose from so check out the site. They are tights with socks built into them so you can be cozy in your boots. No more cold feet or feet slipping in your boots, check out the site or find them at Neiman marcus.com or Norstroms.com
COVERGIRL has a new line of nail polish. The COVERGIRL outlast stay brilliant nail color is high gloss nail color that can last for as long as 7 days – great colors too. I love how it looks very shiny just like you get at the salon but I did not have to apply a top coat and it dries very quickly – bonus!
Any of the new products from Conair  and their sister-brand scünci would make a great gift for teens/tweens. The Knotted Ponytail holders from scünci are so colorful kids love to wear them as bracelets but always have one on hand (or I should say on their wrist) Find them for $3.99 at major retailers. They also have a sleek line of  Ponytailer Bracelets that look like jewelry too! Perfect for older kids and moms too.  We also love Conair’s tools to create different looks like the French Twist Updo clip and the Bun Maker which are both easy to use. The Topsy Tail is also quite the tool that can create multiple hairstyles like a fun twisted pony or braids. I also tested out the Infiniti Pro by Conair™ 1875 Watt Salon Performance AC Motor Styling Tool hair dryer. I remember as a child receiving a fancy hair dryer (remember the ones with a shower cap like device attached with a hose to another device?) Well times have changed and so have hair dryers. Ergonomically designed for ultimate comfort this dryer certainly produces salon-quality results. It’s quiet and it does ensures fast drying time too – perfect us moms on the go!
