I am almost as addicted to hand cream as I am to lip balm. I also am always searching for the best hand cream. The article below, syndicated from Total Beauty includes a couple of my old standbys in Kiehl’s, Eucerine, and Aveeno hand creams and then also includes a number of top hand creams that I have not tried.

One hand cream not on the list that I love is Votre Vu Duette, which is a great lip balm and hand cream packaged together. You can read my review of that here: Votre Vu Duette.

The MAC Cham Pale collection for the new year is full of shimmery nude and pale shades and is quite pretty. I particularly like the eye shadow quad, entitled Caviar Dreams, although the pink shade in the quad is very pale, to the point of barely being visible (it does show up better in my swatch though than I thought that it would) . But it still is a nice shade, and the other three shades particularly work wonderfully together. For a brighter color pop, the MAC Cham Pale collection also includes four paint pots (I love MAC Paint Posts. You can read the previous review here: MAC Paint Pots).

Below are swatches of the MAC Cham Pale eye shadow quad. As you can see, they are indeed rather pale, but pretty nonetheless. Pictured in the same order as shown in the palette above are: Brule (a soft cream beige satin), Retrospeck (blonde luster), Et tu, Bouquet? (frost pale pink gold), and Caviar Dreams (dirty frosted pewter lustre).
