Happy Easter! I hope you all are enjoying the holidays. Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but life has completely taken over and I have had zero time for writing. I thought I would have a little giveaway to thank you for all the support and patience throughout this busy time. Deets below!
Empties. I am almost finished with my second jar of Meow Meow Tweet Grapefruit Deodorant, which I will repurchase. It still works great during these warm Spring days, and it holds up during workouts. One thing that I have noticed, since I am wearing sleaveless tops again, is that if I apply too much it tends to crumble a bit. A pea-size for each pit is more than enough and not only keeps me from smelling bad, but it actually makes me smell very good! You can find it here.
Marula Oil Love. During the past Winter, I used an African Botanics Marula Oil balm that worked wonderfully to treat dry and damaged skin, (mainly very dry, chapped hands). Recently, I broke into another African Botanics product called Firming Botanical Body Oil*, and I am so very pleased with it. First, it is an excellent moisturizer. A few pumps of this oil on damp skin make it feel extra soft and plump, and absolutely non-greasy. Second, I love the scent of it, and my husband likes it even more than I do. He actually loves all African Botanics product’s scent. Every single time I use I walk into our office and he says, “mmmm, this stuff smells sooo good–what is it?” every single time! It is an intense scent that smells fresh and Summery, slightly sweet, but it lingers on the skin for quite a while (sensitive noses, you’ve been warned – sample first). It is not added fragrance, it is just the natural scent that comes from the ingredients, which are Marula Oil, Grape Seed Oil, and Green Roobois Tea Extract. I also must say, it really does make the skin look more firm and healthy. Check it out here. (Fellow Europeans can find it here).
Treat Collection Nail Polish Super Sale. For those of you who do not follow me on Facebook, (you can like my page here), earlier this week I found some crazy deals on Treat Collection Nail Polishes. They are excellent quality, 5-free, and they usually retail for $18 each bottle. However, I found them for as low as $7 here. I took advantage and ordered a few, which I will swatch for you as soon as I receive them. In case you missed it, I swatched one of their nail polishes in this post.
Lipstick & Lip Gloss Love. I am still pretty obsessed with Nudus 27 Kisses*, but lately I have been craving lip glosses. My favorite lip gloss is ILIA in the color The Butterfly and I, which is the most gorgeous shade of peach; BUT I can’t stand the fact that it slides in my mouth and tastes pretty awful. I plan on ordering some W3LL People Bio Extreme Lip Gloss. I have the clear version of it, and it’s ex-cel-lent! Not sticky (feels like I am not wearing lip gloss at all), light-weight, and great-smelling (peppermint, but delicate). I hope the colored glosses have good pigmentation. Grapefruit and Nude Rose look like two beautiful nude-ish colors. You can check them out here.
Best Foot Forward. I would have totally embarrassed myself if I showed you what my feet looked like earlier this week. When I finally got a little me-time, I did a foot scrub with the Fig+Yarrow Foot Treatment, which was my first time using it. Great stuff! It’s a pasty mixture that includes powdered pumice stones and various oils and butters. It smells wonderful, (mainly like pine tree, rosemary, menthol) and it’s such a luxurious treatment to do a good foot scrub. If you need a little encouragement to wear sandals, this is the perfect treatment to get you going. I purchased mine here.
Giveaway! This week I am giving away one of my favorite Spring/Summer lip colors, which I reviewed here. It’s the Kjaer Weis Lip Tints in Sweetness, and it comes in a beautiful, refillable compact. All you have to do to participate is:
