New Year’s is a time for well-meaning resolutions for self-improvement, but it is also the time for a year in review. So as hundreds of new skin-care and makeup products are about to be introduced, I want to revisit some of the more impressive products that were launched in 2005. All the products that make my list exemplify the amazing strides the field of cosmetics chemistry continues to make.
Among the top choices on my list are foundations, concealers and powders that are setting new standards of excellence. Also on my list Some hairstyling products are a cut above the restare state-of-the-art moisturizers (lotions, creams and serums) that allow skin to behave in a healthier manner, sunscreens with elegant and silky aesthetics that encourage daily compliance, and anti-blemish products that contain effective ingredients and have a genuine chance of working (rather than making matters worse). Finally, some hairstyling products are a cut above the rest - these are beauty breakthroughs everyone should know about. This list is about great formulations and, in the case of makeup products, impressive performance. But, an item’s inclusion does not mean that I found even a fraction of these companies’ claims about their products true or how they marketed the products the least bit valid. HAIR CARE ALBERTO VO5 Max! Hold Fast-Drying Hair Spray Mega Hold and Quick Hold! Fast-Drying Hair Spray Extra Hold (each $3.99 for 8.5 ounces), Power! Control Styling Gel Mega Hold and Grip It! Styling Gel Extreme Hold (each $3.99 for 7 ounces), and Play It Again!
