Axe Marks the Spot

BY SUSANNA HOMAN

Axe - the drugstore brand for dudes - just entered the spa bath category with three new treatment products that cost just $3.99.

The line, Axe Skin Contact, has natural ingredients meant to leave guys' skin healthy and smooth. The Hydrating Shower Gel is formulated with Aloe Vera to gently cleanse and moisturize; a Smoothing Shower Scrub with cactus milk exfoliates skin; and the Purifying Shower Gel is made with tea tree essence to deeply clean and hydrate skin.

Tried and True

BY SUSANNA HOMAN

These days I'm just loving a new plumping gloss by LipFusion ($38 at Nordstrom, Sephora and fusionbeauty.com).

Think collagen injection without going to the doctor's office: It's a plumper that dehydrates the collagen molecule into tiny microspheres that can absorb easily into lip tissue, then searches for the body’s natural water to re-hydrate up to 50 times its size.

Better yet, it doesn't contain menthol, caffeine, cinnamon or other irritants.

My favorite colors are Flirt (soft baby pink) and Kiss (bright pink).
