The ultimate beauty-queen must-haves

We’re all about January, with all the fresh starts and resolutions, the shiny-clean feeling this time of year brings. Let’s take a spin through a few fresh beauty blogs and see who’s glowing (and what they’re exfoliating with):

pink-clarisonic

We loooooove Beauty Snob, because they just don’t stop with the attitude. They pick a Casio EX-Z3000 digital camera based on how great it makes your skin look ($278 at Amazon), and their Snob Trends for 2008 obsess over Clarisonic skin care systems, ($195, above) rotating mascara wands and Thymes diffusers ($60).

      om-aroma-champagne-cleanser     argan-oil

A Girl’s Gotta Spa! Shannon believes in pampering, so we’re very compatible. This week she has the bubbly out with Om Aroma’s Elixir de Beaute Champagne facial cleanser ($48, above left); last week she put together a forecast of the top 10 ingredients consumers will look for in beauty products this year (Brazilian Acai, blueberries, Moroccan Argan oil, above right, and  probiotics among them).  

All About the Pretty says that among her New Year’s Expectations (not resolutions, she says), she wants her life to be “full of love, lip gloss and laughter.” This is a girl we want to take to lunch. She’s also totally freaking for the Sedu Revolution hair styler ($140, was $200), and raving for the new Bobbi Brown eye palette, with 35 matte shadows in color-wheel shades ($70).

       kimia-face-oil     akamuti-organic-pomegranate-oil

Inspired Organics makes us want to be better people.  If we can have perfect skin and  go organic, who’s to say we can’t drink soy milk? Buy a hybrid? Start a compost pile? (We’ll get back to you on that last one). We can certainly get enthused about Mary’s top 10 organic products of 2008, which include Kimia’s rejuvenating facial system ($98, above left), Living Nature’s vitalising cleanser ($40) and Akamuti’s pomegranate seed facial oil ($10, above right). She’s an expat living in Britain, so you may have to get them to ship across the pond. But apparently it’s very worth it.

smashbox-halo-hydrating-perfecting-powder

The motto for Aging Fabulous  is “This is When the Fun Starts,” so The Style Insider is sitting up and paying attention. Beth is also worshiping Clarisonic, and she’s giving one away this week. She’s wild for Smashbox’s Halo Hydrating perfecting powder ($59, above) and singles out Sephora’s Shu Uemera mascara as the one she still can’t live without ($22-$27.50).

bvlgari-eau-parfumee-au-the-blanc

The Beauty Addict had a busy, and somewhat tough, winter — a new job, a new house and her dad got sick. But all is better now (somewhere in there she even squeezed in a Q&A with Jeanne Van Phue, the makeup artist for the hotter-than-hot Twilight ), and we expect more of her deliciously detailed posts on such things as Philosophy’s 3-in-1 body washes ($16) and the Bvlgari white tea products at the Ritz-Carlton ($85 for a comparable set at Nordstrom, above).

          ysl-rouge-volupte-lipstick     lipstick-queen-medieval

And if you haven’t had enough top 10 beauty product lists to last you, you’ll want to visit Blogdorf Goodman’s counter, where the five self-professed Bergdorf fanatics each reveal their list of must-haves. We’ll do the shorthand for you: Annie’s No. 1 is Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte lipstick ($34, above left), Jessica and Angie both put Queen Medieval  lipstick ($18-22, above right) at the tops of their lists; Cavewoman picked Bond No. 9 Solid Perfume ($85, below), and Melanie’s winner is Wet ‘n’ Wild’s i-Sparkle shadow (we couldn’t find i-Sparkle, but here’s Wet -n- Wild’s MegaEyes for $2).
