Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick

Hey everyone!

I love the look of glossy lips, but sometimes I don't want the hassle of a lip gloss. So, when Soap & Glory sent me their Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick, you know I tried it out in 5 seconds flat. This gloss stick has everything I've been looking for. It's easy to use, adds a glossy shine, and is sheer enough for everyday wear. Plus, it has a soft, subtle vanilla scent, which makes applying it even better! This is going to stay in my purse from now on!


Here is what Soap & Glory has to say:

This super-light, ultra-hydrating lip crayon glides effortlessly onto lips, leaving behind an umissably pretty sweep of creamy, moisture-rich colour & shine, thanks to the GLOSS-FIX™ FINISH and ULTIMELT™ Lip Shine & Shaping Technology in 3 juicy shades: Plum Jam, Fuchsia Ristic, and Nudist. 

This product retails for $16.00, and can be purchased at Sephora stores!

Lavanila doesn’t celebrate Earth Day – they celebrate Earth MONTH. 


Known for its 100% all-natural fragrances and deodorants, Lavanila will dedicate the entire month of April to working with The Nature Conservancy, on their Plant a Billion Trees campaign.

While encouraging fans to spread the word about this exciting Earth Day campaign, Lavanila will also offer 30% off all online purchases to everyone once 1,000 new trees have been planted.

Lavanila The Healthy Sun Screen

Hey everyone!

Wearing facial sunscreen is an everyday occurrence for me, so I am always on the hunt for one that will be perfect! When Lavanila sent this product my way, I knew I had to give it a try and see. This sunscreen is great to use for those of us who are more sensitive to scented products, because it does not have a noticeable scent at all. I love that it is SPF 40, and that it does not contain all the harmful ingredients that other sunscreens can have in their bottles. It can be a bit greasy on oily skin, so take that into consideration before use!



Here is what Lavanila has to say:

Our 100% Natural SPF 40 Face Cream uses a new generation of mineral sunscreens for broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection. Infused with youth-promoting antioxidants, botanicals and amino acids, this ultra sheer formula delivers daily protection and nourishment. Non-Whitening. Fragrance-Free. 

How to Use:

Apply evenly to face and neck 15 minutes prior to sun exposure. Reapply as needed and after swimming or vigorous activity. Children under six months old: consult a physician.  

The Healthy Difference:

Traditional Sunscreens use harsh chemicals like PABA, oxybenzone, parabens and synthetic fragrance that can accumulate in the bloodstream and cause irritation or allergic reactions.

The Healthy Sun Screen SPF 40 Face Cream is 100% Natural, completely free of chemicals and infused with a superior complex of minerals, anti-oxidants and amino acids for daily protection and nourishment. 


This product retails for $28.00, and can be purchased at www.lavanila.com!

Will you be trying this product out?

Whitney

L'Occitane Spring Cherry Eau de Toilette

Hey everyone!

L'Occitane has just amazed me with their new Spring Cherry fragrance! When they sent this product my way, I could not contain my excitement, and I'm pretty sure the whole neighborhood heard me squealing... Yeah, I'm that girl. 

Not only is this fragrance the essence of spring, the packaging is simply gorgeous! This little bottle makes my perfume tray look fancy and fresh all at the same time. The main aspect to this scent is cherry blossoms. This gives this fragrance an uplifting, yet soft and cozy feeling all at the same time. I find that I can still smell this on me well into the early evening!


Here is what L'Occitane has to say:

Our Spring Cherry Eau de Toilette captures the fresh and floral scent of the first days of spring in a Provencal cherry orchard, as butterflies flutter from blossom to blossom.

The fragrance begins with the fruity notes of mandarin and blackcurrant, followed by a heart of floral cherry blossoms and magnolia then underlined by a base of musk and woody notes. A take on our classic cherry blossom fragrance, this eau de toilette contains a cherry extract from the Luberon region of Provence.

To enhance the longevity of your fragrance, apply Spring Cherry Velvet Moisturizing Gel first, then spray the eau de toilette on the neck, wrists and decollete. Skin will be gently perfumed with a fresh and floral scent as light as the delicate butterflies of Provence.

This product retails for $42.00, and can be purchased at usa.loccitane.com!

Whitney
