I recently received a package of Jason samples to review, and the Mint & Rose Intense Moisture Treatment packets seemed like a great place to start!

As my product reviews have become more in depth, I've grown accustomed to reviewing a single product at a time. I find it's easier to be thorough this way. However, after trying my two new Made From Earth Lip Balms, I decided to review them together. They're so similar in performance, ingredients and price that it just made sense. Ingredients (provided at madefromearth.com)- Citrus Fresh Lip Balm- "Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Beeswax, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Essential Oils of Orange, Lemon...
As much as I love Dr. Bronner's liquid soap, it has done nothing at all for my winter dry skin. In an attempt to show my skin a little extra love (and since I had just run out of my Dr. Bronner's Almond Liquid Soap) , I bought Burt's Bees Naturally Nourishing Milk and Shea Butter Body Wash. Ingredients (provided at burtsbees.com)- "Water, decyl glucoside, carthamus tinctorius (safflower) oleosomes, sodium cocoyl hydrolyzed soy protein, glycerin, fragrance, coco-glucoside, glyceryl oleate, non-fat dry...
I received my very own Josie Maran Argan Oil Moisturizing Stick for review in the same package as my Josie Maran Argan Oil Lipstick. Initially, I didn't know where I was supposed to be applying the moisturizing stick, but I soon learned (and read) that I can use it pretty much anywhere. Ingredients (provided at josiemarancosmetics.com)- "Natural Prunus Armenica (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Organic Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil, Natural Beeswax, Natural Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Natural Copernica Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Natural Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Natural Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Natural Persea Gratissima (Avocado)...
A friend came to me with a problem a few days ago, and I figured that someone else had to be having the same problem. So, I decided to post about it! What she said: "Can you recommend a good face moisturizer that's not too expensive? My skin varies from oily to dry, but in the colder months it's pretty consistently dry. I've been using a Bobbi Brown moisturizer. I like it, but I'm looking for something more natural and less expensive." What I said: First, I told her that we actually seem to have similar skin. Mine also gets very dry in the winter,...
My beach vacation has been pretty fly thus far. I haven't spent much time at the beach (because of the nasty water...oil spills are for the birds), but our Condo is sufficiently sweet. There's a lazy river; how cool is that?! I've been avoiding shampoo altogether this week and using baking soda in its place. I've been conditioning with Aveda Rosemary Mint Conditioner (and my hair has never looked better): My mom bought me some Time & Again Organics hand cream today at a cute little shop. It was seven dollars, and it smells like a dream:
