Cinco for Cinco!

Today's Cinco de Mayo! Don't let all the knee-jerk panic about Swine Flu get you down! It's time to pour yourself an icy margarita and image yourself south of the border, sitting on a perfect beach, watching the world go by without a care in the world.

If a trip to Mexico scares the hell out of you (though it really shouldn't!) or isn't on your agenda, try these five products to make your look a little more caliente!

• OPI Strawberry Margarita: give your nails a sneak-peek of what's coming this summer by painting them with this cheery bright pink. There's no way you can feel blue when your nails are this bright and happy.
• Philosophy Cocktail Party: smell like you're a margarita, a mimosa, or a daiquiri without fearing that you'll get pulled over for a DUI! Philosophy's yummy hair and body washes will leaving you smelling sweet without any pesky hangovers.
• Eyelid Gilded by Benefit: this tequila gold pencil will give you a healthy glow. Add it to the corner of your eyelids to brighten your eyes and make them pop, glide the gold tint over your lips, even use a little on your cheeks to make your face glow! This product will give you an instant pick-me-up.

You don't have to go anywhere exotic to celebrate Cinco de Mayo...or just celebrate the promise of warmer weather and longer days...because these products will give you a sunnier disposition. Now, I think I need to go out and find some real Mexican cosmetics products. They have to be out there somewhere...
