photo aging. The marine based filling spheres are infused throughout the gloss, promoting collagen production. Shea butter also helps protect against dehydration and other climatic influences.

QUITE THE ADVENTURE
For outdoor enthusiasts The CAMP retail complex in Costa Mesa is as close to nirvana as shopping can get. It offers gear for snow, surf, skate and extreme sports (not to mention some great dining). And it boasts an Adventure 16 Outdoor & Travel Outfitters, a dream store for adventurers. (Bargain shoppers can find select shoes and accessories now reduced up to 50%.)
Adventure 16, with super-friendly associates, is conveniently organized in sections. There are sections for mountain wear, camping, backpacking, hiking and climbing; shoes, travel luggage, travel books; and maps and cabin décor gifts.
Outdoor-related items range from hardcore tents used at Mount Everest base camp to simple tents for kid’s summer camps. My husband had to go to the Arctic at the last minute (don't ask) and he got completely outfitted at the store.
Check out the big selection of items for rent, including tents, packs, ice axes, and crampons.
Be sure to ask for a Wilderness Outings brochure for classes and trips. It offers guided backpacking, High Sierra adventures, rock climbing and more.
Open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday; 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. 2937 Bristol St. in Costa Mesa. 714.427.0410.
