As an aging beauty, well, aging anyway, I am forever on the prowl for amazing moisturizers. My mother taught me at an early age to slather on the moisturizer. She was a Ponds Cold Cream and Helena Rubinstein addict. I guess my tendency for addictions comes from her. I have spent the last 30 years going from one moisturizer to another, since Helena Rubinstein went out of business, and left to my own devices. Until last year, I had been using Queen Helene Grape Seed Extract Skin Firming Cream, until that was taken off the market. I snapped up every last jar of Queen Helene from remote retailers and have been nervous about running out, not having found a replacement. Until now.
I was recently in Beverly Hills and ducked into a weird little, dark store that turned out to be Mickey Fine's Annex on Bedford. Mickey Fine is the pharmacist to the stars and who knew he had an annex, or needed one. Anyway, I asked for their best moisturizer and they handed me Egyptian Magic. This on the very day that the Egyptians rid Hosni Mubarak of his duties. I thought surely the Egyptians had magic all around them. After all, they had Cleopatra in their arsenal of fierceness. And any money bet that Mickey Fine fills all of Elizabeth Taylor's prescriptions.
