Your Feet With Cream
 Since
it's a given you're going to be out and about
in the summer sun, be sure to protect those little
piggies with Clinique's
Body Spray SPF 30 Sun Block. Yes, you
can use the skincare mogul's product on your feet.
Besides, it contains good-for-the-body vitamins,
and it's water- and sweat-resistant (the latter
is a bonus for all of you who perspire there!).

Stellar
Toe Jewelry
 Your
feet have to accessorize, too, and have we got the
perfect beach-club-at-night bauble -- flashy, fun,
and totally trendy Electro Cool's Light-Up Toe
Gems. These "toe-riffic" twinkling stars and
beaming half-moon-shaped, motion-activated light-up
jewels are "out of this world." The de-"light"-ful
gems shimmer and shine with your every step, wiggle,
or giggle. Do double-duty by wearing some as finger
rings, too! Perfect gift for fashionistas looking
to light up a crowd. Each also includes a keychain

Polish
Perfection!
 Pay
attention to details! After all, nothing completes
a look better than dazzling, glossy toes. Urban
Decay's new colors and improved formulation
brings all eyes to your digits! And what more could
a girl ask for than a new, ergonomic bottle and
brush design that makes application a cinch. The
glossier, shiny formula is multi-chromatic shades
shimmer intensely, yet subtlely in colors like graffiti,
toxin, bruise, and hotpants.

Seek
a Satisfying Sandal Savior
 Ah...
don't you just love the time of this year when
you can let your toes hang out in the sunshine?
We do, too! To help jump-start your sandal selection,
we've consulted Birkenstock, a shoe company
that specializes in comfort and style. Showcase
your polished toes with their San Carlos line
(at right) in black antique leather (($99.95);
slip on their sandal thong, the Maui ($59.95);
strap up in the Orlando ($89.95); or get
stripey with their Oahu ($59.95). Whatever
you choose, your feet are bound to look great
and feel good in these strut-worthy shoes.

They're
Worn Out? So, Soak 'Em...
  It's
no doubt your feet are sure to experience the
wear-and-tear of parading up and down the beaches,
malls, and clubs. To combat the achiness that
comes with the 'getting-around' territory, soak
those suckers in a spa -- a foot spa, that is!
And Dr. Scholls, a longtime supplier of footcare
products, has your ticket to feetsation, thanks
to its Ultimate Foot Spa with Water Heat Up.
Just slip your feet into the contoured-to-feet
spa, flip the 'on' switch, and feel the water
jets hitting your feet with pleasing intensity.
And, as an added bonus to your water-based foot
massage, conclude your feet-feel-good mission
by gliding on Epoch's Firewalker Foot Cream.
It soothes the skin at first touch, and has a
rosey scent that's sure to keep you smelling for
hours to come.
(Ultimate Foot Spa with Water Heat Up, www.HelenofTroyUSA.com,
approximately $78; Epoch's Firewalker Foot Cream,
www.nuskin.com,
$11.) |
