Glow Caveats
I always let makeup artists do what they want with me. Time and again, I naively hope that they'll put a dab of something here and dab of something there and I'll look like I haven't been staring at my computer for the last seven hours, surviving solely on lattes.
Last week, I had another meeting with another makeup artist. When she asked to put a new primer-glowifier on my face, I let her go hog wild. (She slathered.)
Back at my desk, I looked in a mirror, and along with my new "glow," the cream had adhered to every dry, flaking-off-like-old-paint bit of skin on my face—and highlighted it.
Rule number one is don't "glowify" dry skin. Rule number two is don't have dry skin. My two latest weapons:
For face: Astara Nourishing Vitamin Mask. (I use it at night and let it sink in for hours, sometimes sleeping with it on.)
For body: Gabriel Couzian Washing Oil. (The thickest oil I've ever tried. It cleanses while it moisturizes, and I love the French glamour factor.)

That mask is fantastic- as is the apple-ish scent.
That Washing Oil is amazing! I'm totallly addicted, can't shower without it and my skin has never felt so smooth. I love their foot cream too, my heels are always so rough but I use it every night and my feet look like I just had a pedicure. This is great stuff.
