The biggest beauty trend for spring has nothing to do with color or the latest anti-aging ingredient. The buzz is all about "recession-proof" cosmetics, which makes this an auspicious moment for Ms. Pedicure's $12.99 Foot Spaah at-home kit. The collection of hot-pink tools has been updated with new items and a retro-glam look. With pleasantly scented smoothing cream, exfoliator, a pumice stone and polish, it's the indulgence that helps you save on expensive spa services. Stock up — the kit is compact and makes a great gift. Sold at major stores including Target and Ulta. See MsPedicure.com for more locations.
