"It" Product

It does everything
Today’s multi-purpose products are not like the 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner combos that did nothing for your usually lively locks. Versatile creams, balms and oils from better beauty brands actually soften, soothe and treat all the stuff they’re supposed to. Elizabeth Arden’s 8-hour Cream, created in 1930, was one of the first of these “it” miracles. Use it on chapped lips, skinned knees, paper cuts – I’ve even heard claims that it cures eczema. Nuxe’s Huile Prodigeuse is a dry oil for face, body and hair. Yes, oil for your face. It softens skin, strengthens hair and it works wonders while shaving your legs.


















The newest “it does everything” product is from Cake. Satin Sugar All-Purpose Treatment Balm smoothes frizzy hair and flyaways, is a yummy-smelling lip balm and softens dry skin. Infused with Shea Butter and Beeswax, it treats chapped skin and has a super satiny texture.
It’s also worth checking out Cake’s Satin Sugar Refreshing Hair and Body Powder. The perfect product for hair-washing procrastinators! It totally soaks up any extra oil and lets your blow-out last a few more days. Plus you can fluff the lemon-vanilla-scented powder all over your body post-bath…or workout and not worry about B.O.

Girl! You just like this stuff because it's called Cake and resembles a certain pink cookie. Now, if you could eat it, then that would be an all in one product that I could get behind.

This stuff is amazing...whatever the need--I reach for this balm and apply it. I put it on my lips at night, I've applied it to my sunburn and it feels GREAT... I use it on my blistered and very dry feet and rub it in my cuticles everytime I wash my hands...I need more!!!!!!
