I have to tell you, my most favorite thing about writing a beauty blog is when an indie brand approaches me to try out their products. Without having the bias of knowing what the rest of the beauty addicts out there think, it’s like discovering bath and body products for the first time. So I’ll let you in on a secret…Veva Body’s Cranberry Spice Sugar Scrub and their Honey Almond Sweet Feet are beyond amazing.
I had the fabulous pleasure of going to a Holiday event at Origins’ Soho store while in New York a few weeks ago. Where I live, you cannot find an Origins store, so it was an amazing experience to be in such a relaxing and incredible smelling place. I walked out with their Tree-Mendously Ginger Holiday gift set, which is an amazing bargain by the way (only $60!) For this post, I will review two of the products in it, the Incredible Spreadable Scrub and Savory Body Wash.
I absolutely adore great smelling hair. It is that underlying secret to feeling confident and sexy; when my hair looks great and smells great I tend to walk a little bit taller. During the fall/winter months hair tends to get a bit dry, so it is the perfect time to really hydrate with a leave in conditioner, but one that smells incredible like pumpkin? Is doubly nice for the Holidays.
Remember how much I adored Product Body’s scrub and lotion? Well just in time for the Holiday’s they have now come out with a Figgy Pudding gift set and I am swooning.
The Figgy Pudding gift set includes:
5 oz 2-tone Crush On You sugar scrub in Apple Crisp
4 oz. Crème Fresh body cream in Sweet Lemon Pie
1 pouch of fizzy bath salts in Pumpkin Mélange
1 chunk of handmade, hand cut soap in Graham Cracker
It comes in a gift box and wrapped up in a ribbon and the best part is that it’s only $29.00! So fabulous! Check it out at www.productbody.com
Have you ever wished that you could mix and match scents in your lotions and scrubs? Salus is a customized bath and body store that not only sells natural and organic good-for-you beauty products, but gives you a wide range of fragrances to choose from–so creating scents that are unique to your personal liking. I talked with owner Elissa Klaver recently about her Hemp Lotion. While we all have dry skin here in the mountains, my 4 year old and 18 month old tend to get eczema. Hemp works wonders on eczema, so I chose Salus’ Hemp Lotion in Peppermint Swirl to go along with the boy’s excitement for all things Christmas and Christmas-like scents.
I have long been a fan of soy candles and also love the moisturizing properties of soy for my skin. The Scandle makes a great body massage candle that has the clean burn of soy while also including essential oils for a hydrating, yet relaxing massage.
