Soap & Glory

Department: Beauty

Buying something imported always boosts the coolness quotient. It could be the U.K. equivalent of Jean Nate, but slap a British flag on it, and I'm sold.



Fortunately, the line of Soap & Glory products (only in stores?) are worth the hype. I purchased the Calm One Calm All stress-battling bubble bath, and, without a moment's hesitation, the Sexy Mother Pucker lip plumper + gloss. I am happy to report that both products live up to their witty names.

Until now, this line of products, created by Bliss spas founder Marcia Kilgore, have only been sold at a few select UK locations, and Barney's stateside. Now, they are available at our favorite store at a regular gal's price point. Keep calm and carry on.

Target hearts the UK

Department: Beauty

Wal-mart has carried the Rimmel line for years. I was quite shocked, actually, when the store started carrying such a sophisticated product line. I'm a big fan of the nail polish.

Not as shocked, but happy to see Target expanding its love of the UK after the Soap & Glory line, our fave store has now started carrying a plethora of beauty products distributed by the UK-based health and beauty retailer, Boots



I haven't tried any of the products yet, but like I said before - I'm, a sucker for anything that makes my beauty routine feel more cosmopolitan.
