Make Your Eyes Sparkle This Season with VOLANTE Skincare

Hey everyone!

The holidays can leave you looking and feeling exhausted, with the stress of the season showing under your eyes. VOLANTÉ’s Transformative Eye Crème is specially formulated to reverse the signs of again and make your eyes look rested.


This indulgent formula contains 17% of the 7 VITAE Complex, a patent-pending blend of natural actives including a soothing blend of Aloe Vera and Hyaluronic Acid that hydrates and plumps the skin, while the peptides effectively treat the appearance of dark circles and crow’s feet.

This supple and feather-light crème has been clinically proven to reduce dark circles. In clinical testing, 91% of women felt their eyes were instantly refreshed after just one application. Formulated for day and night use, this non-greasy crème is ideal under foundation, concealer and makeup. ($85, VolanteSkincare.com)

I received a sample of this eye cream to try out, and I can vouch that in the short time I've had it, my eyes look better! The dryness of my under eyes has reduced, and they look less tired because of that! I can't wait to see how my skin looks in a couple months.

XoXo,
Whitney

Introducing New Burt's Bees Lip Balm Flavors‏

Hey everyone,

Inspired by nature’s purest ingredients, Burt’s Bees has moisturized, nourished and hydrated your lips for over 30 years with the original Beeswax Lip Balm. Throughout the years, Burt’s Bees has been adding flavors varying from Coconut and Pear to Eucalyptus and it won’t stop now. Introducing Burt’s Bees newest Lip Balm flavors – Wild Cherry and Vanilla Bean.


Wild Cherry Moisturizing Lip Balm, (burtsbees.com, $3.30): Made with rich cherry oil—cold pressed from cherry seed kernels—this balm’s sweet, natural flavor with just a hint of tartness will invigorate your senses and pamper your lips.

Vanilla Bean Moisturizing Lip Balm, (burtsbees.com, $3.30): A luxuriously complex and comforting lip balm bursting with all-natural vanilla. Couple that with moisturizing Shea Butter and soothing Vitamin E, and you’ve got a true treat for happy lips.

I received both of these new flavors to try out, and I have to say they are true to their descriptions! Wild Cherry is perfect for those moments when you need a pick-me-up, and Vanilla Bean is great at soothing your lips during these cold winter months!

XoXo,
Whitney
