This Week's Favorites

Labello Chapstick
We are HUGE fans of Labello chapstick. Labello (also called Liposon in Greece) is extremely smooth and comes in an array of flavors. Once you've tried it you won't go back to regular chapstick, trust us. Our favorites flavors are Grapefruit and Classic but they have a myriad of flavors to choose from and keep your eyes peeled for their special edition flavors. Keep in mind Labello is not carried in the US but can be found all over Europe. You can also special order it online. Nivea recently debuted a chapstick very similar to Labello available for purchase in the US but don't let them fool you it is not the same.

La Roche-Posay
Speaking of European imports that we love....While enduring summer's blistering hot weather make sure you wear your sunscreen to protect your skin. La Roche-Posay makes a fabulous sunscreen called "Anthelios". Available at most CVS drugstores, "Anthelios" comes in both SPF 15 and 40. And if the sun gets the better of you here is a fabulous French beauty secret: Biafine burn cream does wonders for over toasted skin. Available at European pharmacies and some US doctors offices.
