Skip-Your-Moisturizer Skin Tint I always thought "tinted moisturizer" was a misnomer. Sure, it's tinted, but moisturizing? Not really. I still need to slather on my regular face cream underneath. The folks at Bare Minerals felt the same way, and they also thought the BB and CC creams on the market were inadequate -- promising a zillion benefits but delivering on few. That's why they set out to create Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue, $29, a truly moisturizing, good-for-your-skin tint. And let me tell you, this stuff is a dream. It goes on silky-smooth -- it feels like whipped water -- and gives you a true "tint" of coverage (not too much but just enough). As far as ingredients, it has antioxidants, marine botanicals and SPF. Don't even think about calling it a tinted moisturizer.

I don't mind the winter. (I went to college in Maine if that tells you anything.) But there's a shift that happens around the middle of February that leaves every cold-weather-dwelling person -- myself included -- itching for a tropical vacation. Sadly, I haven't had the luxury of spring break for more than a decade, but I do have oodles of beauty products to cheer me up. And the new beauty products launching this February are some of the most summertime-joy-inducing I've seen in quite some time. There's an ultra-moisturizing tinted moisturizer from Bare Minerals, Lady Gaga's zesty new fragrance, Charlotte Tilbury's aptly named Beach Sticks and many more that are guaranteed to get you through the rest of winter (smile intact).
