When it comes to shaving, the guys get all the good products. Lately, there's been a rash of high-end men's shaving creams flooding the market, from the likes of Art of Shaving and Anthony Logistics. But what about us girls? We have to shave too!

Well don't worry, because I've managed to find some super-soft shaving cream for women that can make shaving your legs a luxurious, sweet-smelling experience. Here are some of my favorite finds.

Whish Shave Crave Cream, $32, available here. For gals who like to be pampered, this creamy formula comes in lemongrass, almond, and pomegranate scents.

Benefit Bathina Sweet Satin Shave, $26, available here. This adorable retro-inspired jar of shaving mousse gives your skin a silky smooth finish.

This Just In! Another Cute Compact

Yesterday I did a round-up of cute powder compacts that also function as fashion accessories. But I just found what may be the cutest one yet: the new Benefit Some Kind-A Gorgeous, which comes in a retro compact is designed to look like an old 45. The makeup does double-duty as a powder and a base, but it's also translucent, so it won't look cakey. I can't wait to try it for travel or midday touch-ups. You can buy it for $26 here.

Pairs of Purple Lipsticks & Glosses

Purple is back with a vengeance! I love the way tanned skin and a lavender lip look together. It can be soft and sweet with a touch of pink on your cheeks and nothing on your eyes but mascara - or it can be sexy and seductive with contoured cheekbones and a dark cat eye lash line and falsies. Here are three of my favorite FABulous and fierce purple pouts:

Combo #1

Benefit's The Gloss in Kiss Me is a sheer fuchsia color that perfectly compliments a purple lipstick. Buy it here for $14.

Pair it with Benefit's Shang-ri-la Sheer Lipstick in Picked Up In Paradise. If you hurry, you can bid on it and save. The current offer on e-bay is for $8.99

Two more great combos, so

Mix It Up with Lip Pencils

Despite my well publicized lip gloss fetish, I usually like to start off the work day with a berry-tinted matte look. Here's a peek into my morning lip routine:

First and foremost, I swear by Benefit's fabulous Lip Plump product, available from Benefit for $20. A silky, creamy lip foundation, it does a wonderful job of smoothing out the surface of your lips and provides a great neutral base for whatever color you choose.

Next, I outline my lips with a MAC Lip Pencil in either Burgandy (for red days), Beet (for plum days) or Chestnut (for brown days). Available from MAC for $12.50.

Finally, I apply my one-color-fits-all Origins Berry Lip Pencil, available from Origins for $12. Matte, but moist, I think the berry color does a great job of blending whatever liner color I choose for that day and gives me all the color of lipstick without the heaviness.

If you're looking for a bright, shiny finish, see any of our previous posts to read about our lip gloss obsession: What Is It About Lip Gloss, What Is It About Lip Gloss Part II or Fresh Lip Gloss.

For a $45 investment, these three products last for months and give me three different colors to play with for different outfits. Let me know if it works for you!
