My birthday is still several months away, and I should be saving my money rather than spending it. Unfortunately, none of what I just said makes me want the below items any less. 1) A pouch made to hold soiled, reusable menstrual pads: both useful and adorable. Am I the only one who hates using public restrooms when I'm on my period? This little guy could only help matters. 2) This body wash has a pretty impressive list...
I have some pretty fantastic Christmas presents to tell you guys about, but I thought I'd wait until Tuesday after I go shopping with my mom (which is her Christmas present to me). I'm sure that I'll have even more great things to share after that! Today's post is less about Christmas gifts and more about advice. My friend Kristen recently had a couple of questions for me about moisturizer and eye cream. I decided address most of her questions in a post since they all seemed pretty relatable. Her Problem: She told me that she'd been using Bobbi Brown Hydrating
I've proclaimed my love for moisturizing and moisturizers time and time again, so I was obviously excited when I received my very own free bottle of Acure Organics Energizing Body Lotion in the mail. I'm just as excited to review it. Ingredients (provided at acureorganics.com)- “Organic Curoxidant Blend (Organic Acai Berry, Organic Blackberry, Organic Rosehips, Organic Elderberry, Organic Nettle Leaf, Organic Cranberry, Organic Goji Berry, Organic Raspberry, Organic Pomegranate, Organic Blueberry), Organic Calendula officinalis, Organic Chamomile, Fair Trade Certified Organic Yerba Mate, Mango Ceylon, RooibosTea, Organic AloeVera Leaf Juice, Vegetable Emulsifying Wax NF, Fair Trade Certified Organic Cocoa Seed...
I moisturize at least once a day, so lotion is a pretty important part of my beauty regimen. I've been using and loving Skin's Apricot Mango Eye Cream for while now, and I was understandably excited to give Skin's Grapefruit Pom Body Lotion a try. Ingredients (provided at carenonline.com)- “Sweet almond oil*, jojoba oil*, virgin coconut oil*, pomegranate seed oil*, cocoa butter*, glycerin, grapefruit essential oil*, vegetable emulsifying wax, distilled water, vitamin E oil, grapefruit seed extract. *Certified organic” The product received a hazard score of one on the Cosmetic Safety Database. Vitamin E oil and Glycerin are the only...
I ordered some adorable and on sale shoes for myself today, and I can't wait to wear them! A piece of news that is more relevant to this blog, however, is that I also ordered some health and beauty product samples by brands that I rarely or never review. The brands are Lily Organics, evanhealy, The Answer For Skin, and Skin; the products will be tested and reviewed shortly after they arrive....
It's no secret that my cabinets have been overflowing with health and beauty products lately, but a girl can dream...can't she? Also, pay close attention to all the sweet ingredients you're about to encounter. The Answer's PMS Clear Facial Mask- I've yet to find anything that completely gets rid of pre-period breakouts. I guess this stuff could be the ticket. Ingredients- French green clay, Fullers Earth clay, green tea, and papaya extract.
I know that I've discussed my potentially greasy face with you guys before. I have to be careful when choosing a moisturizer, and I usually try (and fail) to steer clear of oil-based moisturizers (with the exception of eye creams). When I read the description for this product, I knew that I had to at least give it a try. Ingredients- (provided at karensbotanicals.com)- "Aloe Vera gel*, pure vegetable Glycerine, Melissa extract*; Bergamot, Tea Tree, and other selected essential oils. *Denotes certified organic. Use within one year of purchase." Product Description (also provided at karensbotanicals.com)- "A...
Since I am about to run out of conditioner and facial cleanser, I ordered some more online today. I also got some eye cream, because even though I love the miracle conditioner mentioned in my previous post...I want something specifically formulated for the sensitive skin underneath my eyes. The best word to describe my skin is combination, but it's definitely more dry than oily. This stuff is recommended for dry skin, but it's winter time and I do what I want. I decided to get the lavender instead of the palmarosa (as stated in my big long list post) because the former...
