Essie Limited Addiction, $8
Essie
Liz Lange: I usually go for more of an orangey red but this season I am thinking of going a little deeper. It feels very Baroque to me.
Jane Wagman: I am really feeling for the deep, rich color right now. It goes with E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G

Oscar Blandi Texture & Volume Spray Kit, $30
Opensky
Liz Lange: If you follow us on Shopafrolic or OpenSky you know that I am all about hair (mine in particular). I don't use a lot of product because frankly I DON'T NEED IT! That said, when I tested these products I could not believe how fast and easy it was to style my hair. I'm going to let Jane do most of the talking here because I know these are basically her new fave hair products.
Jane Wagman: Ok girls, I am going to break it down for you - I have VERY thin, relatively straight hair. Usually styling product leaves my hair heavy and sticky. Not these!: • 1st of all Oscar Blandi's dry shampoo has always been my favorite so let's start there. Whenever I want to add an extra day (or 3) to my professional blowie I use his dry shampoo. • 2nd of all Oscar's texture and volume spray may be the most genius invention ever. If I want to transform my thin hair to THICK I just spray this all over my head. No need to flip your hair and just spray the roots like bottles usually say. Then you can run your hands through your hair, use a curling iron for quick curls, give your hair some scrunches ... whatever you want and it will be beeee-autiful and thick. • Last, but certainly not least, the styling pin. I have never been able to wear my hair in that cool low chignon, bun style that I envy on everyone with thick hair... until now. Once I transform my thin hair to thick I quickly twist it and put in the styling pin to create an adorable, loose chignon. The kit comes with styling instructions and tips. It's so ridiculously easy. As Evita said, "Have I said too much? There's nothing more I can think of to say to you. But all you have to do is look at me to know that every word is true…."

Vitamin C Hydra Moist Weekender by Elizabeth Grant, $29 on sale from $59
Opensky
Liz Lange: Remember the days when you could wash your face with Ivory soap an walk out the door? I do! Hello my name is Liz and I am a beauty junkie! Seriously, I love all of these products. The body scrub is great for me because I need it to get my spray tan off…it's that perfect blend of a creamy body wash with exfoliants. After using it for three days, my arms were MUCH smoother. And I need the eye cream to build collagen and diminish my dark circles. I could go on…you get the idea!
Jane Wagman: Hello, my name is Jane and I, too, am a beauty junkie. That said I am PICKY about my products. Elizabeth Grant is as good as it gets. This is her new Vitamin C 6-piece kit and I, for one, am a believer!! I love every product. Just to give you the quick scoop: I love the day cream because it is light weight and moisturizing. I love the body scrub as it is so important for cell turnover. The hydrating cleanser is very lightweight and removes all my makeup without leaving a residue.

Rita Hazan Foaming Gloss, $26
Rita Hazan
Liz Lange: I don't mean to brag but I am kind of blessed with shiny hair. That said, Rita Hazan is a hair GURU and her products are amazing. This tinted color-enhancing gloss adds depth and dimension to your color. It also enriches your hair with provitamins and silk amino acids. Another plus is that this product is ammonia, sulfate and paraben FREE. Loves that
Jane Wagman: Moi, my 11 year old daughter and everyone who works at Shopafrolic is obsessed with these foaming glosses. After using this product for a week I can already tell my hair is ten times shinier and my highlights look better than ever. It's hard work having blonde hair and keeping up the color!! My kids wonder why I don't swim in pools. Ummm...duh? Hair color! She has 2 colorways - golden tones and brassiness. Try it. it won't disappoin

Aida Bicaj Treatment or Product, ??
Aida Bicaj
Liz Lange: Jane has been a devout worshiper of Aida for a few years now. It took me a little longer to drink the Kool-aid. But girls, have I ever. My morning/evening rituals are a touch longer than I am used to, but it is worth it!! read more
Jane Wagman: QUESTION: A few years ago some weird skin-colored bumps appeared on my face (I'm only sharing that to make a point). I tried every cream out there. I went to 3 well known derms. Nothing helped. A friend recommended Aida. Cut to 3 days later: the bumps, they were gonzo. ANSWER: AIDA. read more

Mama Mio Skin Tight Toning Serum, $56
Mama Mio
Liz Lange: Yes pets, we are about to enter that great time of year when your arms will be exposed. Being that I do not sit in the sun anymore (and hopefully you do not either) keeping my NOT suntanned skin healthy looking is a huge priority. This Skin Tight Serum really works - it makes my arms look smoother and more toned. Now who doesn't want that?
Jane Wagman: I have actually always taken my uber fancy face serum and rubbed some on my arms before applying my body cream. Mama Mio, fess up, were you reading my diary? This product feels like it was created just for me. Thanks ladies!

target="_blank" >The Body Deli Sea Cucmber Gelee, $35
The Body Deli
Liz Lange As Jane has commented on ad nauseam, my skin is very dry! I recently found this "gelee" moisturizer and I am addicted. I keep it in my fridge (it is made up of "super foods" and fresh ingredients) so it goes on cool and refreshing. It's the first thing I put on my skin in the morning and the last thing I put on before bed.
Jane Wagman I am all about hydrating your face. It is what keeps your skin smooth and wrinkle free (well, that's impossible but you get the picture). I do suffer from eye puffiness and always want to be the kind of person who lies around with cucumber slices on my eyes, and if you are, go for it, but if not, this gelee is the next best thing!

Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick, $6.48
Amazon
Liz Lange: After filming a fashion segment all about brights for the Martha Stewart show this morning Jane and I made our way to Bergdorfs (aka happiest place on earth). One of the easiest ways to dip your toe (or lips) into this trend is with a bold lip color.
Jane Wagman: Literally Tom Tord's new lipstick line is the name on every makeup artists' lips! This Revlon lipstick achieves the same thing: bold, bright, matte Mad Men style lips.

Tom Ford Beauty Lip Color, $48
Bergdorf Goodman
Liz Lange: After filming a fashion segment all about brights for the Martha Stewart show this morning Jane and I made our way to Bergdorfs (aka happiest place on earth). One of the easiest ways to dip your toe (or lips) into this trend is with a bold lip color.
Jane Wagman: Literally Tom Tord's new lipstick line is the name on every makeup artists' lips! I walked out with today's color Cherry Lush. Part of what we love about these bold thick lipsticks is that they stain your lips a bit so the color remains long after the actual lipstick has worn off.

Aveeno Positively Radiant, $13.49
Name Your Link
Liz Lange: Jane and I never - and by never I mean NEVER - leave the house without some form of sunblock on. We were recently turned on to the Aveeno Positively Radiant tinted moisturizer with SPF 30 (!) and we just had to share with you. Jane, will do do the honors?
Jane Wagman: Aveeno is a natural skincare line. This moisturizer has "light reflecting minerals" which literally make your skin glow in a dewy yet not greasy way. It is not so heavy that if you want to wear your moisturizer in addition you can, but provides enough coverage that it works alone as well. We particularly love it during this time of year when your skin can look a little dull by the end of the day. This product keeps your skin hydrated all day long.
