Jolie’s favorite products of 2008
It’s rare for a beauty product to make me sit up and take notice–most are okay, many are good, but few are great. The ones below have made it into my personal hall of fame–run, don’t walk!
Living Proof No Frizz: Sold out everywhere, and for good reason. This silicone-free anti-frizz line was created by scientists using a new molecule (PolyfluoroEster) that’s smaller and more efficient at coating than frizz solutions of days past. The more you use, the better it works–and, trust me, it works like magic.
Cover Girl Lash Blast: Better than many mascaras three times the price; it volumizes, lengthens and makes every single lash look-at-me gorgeous.
Tom Ford Black Orchid Finishing Oil: With something as delicate and nuanced as fragrance, the devil is in the details. Every offering from Tom Ford is a standout, but this sexy, musky, animalistic body oil (only available online, and frequently sold-out) is in a divine league of its own.
Nude Skincare Cleansing Oil: Completely removes makeup, leaves skin silky and soft without causing breakouts, and full of good-for-you ingredients like omega-3 and vitamin E. I cannot properly explain how much I adore this cleanser.

How about that Lash Blast? My daughter’s friend worked on its corporate marketing this summer and got all her friends and their moms turned on! We all get so many compliments and its in the drug store! Love that…… Never heard of the Living Proof-was it only available online or is it in the stores when not “sold out” (how maddening)?

Thank you for sharing, Nadine! I am going to try the other products. Cover Girl Lash Blast I now can’t live without - none of the mascaras I tried before had the same volumizing and lengthening effect without any clumps - this is definitely a great product at a great price!

I found the Tom Ford Black Orchid oil at Nordstroms a while ago. It is my absolute favorite thing EVER. So yummy!

Am I the only one who tried this stuff (because it made the girl on tv look amazing) but ended up hating it? I think my lashes clump together and a second coat is out of the question because I look like a spider.
