Feet will forgive and forget holiday shopping–once treated to Deborah Lippmann’s Bootylicious booty-slippers.
Soles stuffed with oversized lavender sachets, along with cashmere-soft terry, are the secret. Slip the sachets in the microwave for 2 minutes, stuff them and your tootsies back into the slippers ($48) and let the day waft away.
That’s only the beginning to the charms of Lippmann’s product line.
– A Hollywood manicurist, Lippmann says one of her missions is to get women to wear hand cream with SPF. “You see these A-list actresses in a tight shot with her hand up to her face, freckled and damaged–it’s such a telltale sign [of age].” Lippmann’s Rich Girl hand cream with SPF 25 ($24) was named healthiest hand cream by Health magazine. Add it to a basket for your girlfriend with:
– Lippmann’s polish remover ($16), spill-proof in pump form. It won an Allure best of beauty award with its pleasant lavender fragrance too.
– Lippmann’s Brown-Eyed Girl polish ($15) is the chocolate brown color du jour. “This season it’s about short, dark, very groomed nails,” Lippmann said.
Alone or together, all are worthy of a holiday care package for your best gal pal, at C.O. Bigelow, with locations at Water Tower Place, Hawthorn Center in Vernon Hills and Woodfield mall in Schaumburg.
