We know, we know. It goes against your way of thinking to apply oils to your face when you spend much of the day fighting shine. But the truth is, oils are exceptionally hydrating and nourishing, keeping the skin moisturized and supple. Even better, oils deliver botanical ingredients without harsh chemical additives. Two of our favorites are Face Nourish by Truth Art Beauty and Lina Hanson’s Global Face Serum.

Bursting with antioxidants, vitamins and nutrients, Face Nourish lives up to its name. The light formula is easily absorbed, won't clog pores and never leaves behind a greasy residue. Global Face Serum uses 100% natural and organic ingredients to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and restore skin’s elasticity. Both products will give you that healthy, radiant look that you crave, and will forever change your way of thinking about applying oils to your face. $54 for Face Nourish at www.truthartbeauty.com, and $85 for Global Face Serum at www.linahanson.com.

In the winter months, it can be easy to neglect the body parts we aren’t baring. (When is the last time you shaved your legs?) But, what we're most concerned about are your feet. Now, more then ever, it is important to keep them moisturized and in tip top shape for their spring reveal. That's why we are slathering our parched peds in peppermint products from June Jacobs.

Thick socks and cute boots are no excuse for dry, rough feet. Keep them soft and hydrated by massaging the Peppermint Hand and Foot Polish into skin to slough off rough patches, rejuvenate and reduce signs of aging. Follow up with the Peppermint Hand and Foot Therapy, a luxurious, super emollient cream that penetrates deeply to restore your skin to its supple softness. Both are made with the highest quality all natural ingredients, and are chock full of antioxidants and the cool, refreshing feel of peppermint. It's never too late to take that first step! When spring sandals come calling, you'll be glad you did! $40 each at www.junejacobs.com. (Scroll down to get to the peppermint foot products.)

Can you remember your life before your iPhone? Us either. Even though these little mini-computers have been around less than a decade, they are such a major part of our existence that, if they break, our lives come to a stand still. That's why we go to such great lengths to protect them, buying cases that range from simple black plastic to colorful pink rubber to cases bearing the logos of our favorite designers. We understand the need to protect our phones from wear and tear, but we draw the line at the Miansai iPhone case made from solid gold and retailing for $10,000. SERIOUSLY?!

We love our iGadgets as much as the next person, but should the case cost thousands more than the phone, itself? If we’re going to drop $10,000 on an iPhone case, it should at least be jewel encrusted. This thing is so plain, no one except you will know if it is the real deal. Plus, if you drop your phone as much as we do, this shiny gold "protective" case is going to be a scratched up, banged up mess in a matter of days. We think that for $10,000 you would be better off just hiring someone to carry your phone around for you. www.miansai.com

Supporting Breast Cancer Awareness ECOnomically

Face it — in this economy, every study you read shows that philanthropic donations are down, down, down.  With just a few days left of October’s National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (although it should be an all year endeavor), you can do your part to support the cause — and do it ECOnomically with our inexpensive fashion and beauty finds.  So, let’s see — get your fashion fix, keep within your budget, support a very important cause and the companies that are trying to make a difference. Gotta’ love that! So TADA (or in this case TATA), here are our top three picks!

Jane Iredale Sugar and Butter Lip Exfoliater and Plumper in Pheonix

This popular duo got a new name in honor of the women who rise above cancer — Pheonix. Made from natural ingredients, it features a brown sugar treatment on one side that gently exfoliates and a pink tinted plumper on the other side. Jane Iredale will donate $2 from each sale to Living Beyond Breast Cancer. Now that’s something to smile about! $24 at www.janeiredale.com.

OKA b Shoes That Love You

This one is all about bringing a smile to brave women. During October, OKA b is giving a free pair of its adorable vegan, recyclable shoes, as a token of support to women currently undergoing breast cancer treatment, for every pair you buy — up to 50,000 pairs! There are a myriad of styles and colors, but we were drawn to these adorable Avery mules with their on-trend bows. The Avery is ON SALE FOR $25 (normally $30) at www.shoesthatloveyou.com.

Shashi Share Love, Spread Awareness Bracelets

One for me, two for you is the idea behind these delicately pretty bracelets, created by CFDA Fashion Incubator members Danna Kobo and Yuvi Alpert of Shashi. The designers created the limited edition style with the intention that the buyer keeps one and gives the other two to loved ones (although they are so cute it might be tempting to keep all three). Created in partnership with Intermix and the Council of Fashion Designers of America, 100% of the proceeds go to Fashion Targets Breast Cancer. $48 at www.intermixonline.com.
