Did you see the Old Spice Gift Set that I wrote about the other day?  You did? Good news! I’m going to be giving away 5 of those babies. The giveaway is for the Swagger fragrance and it contains the following:
…full-size versions of Red Zone products; Body Spray, the Deodorant, the 8 Hour Body Wash, a “Deck Scrubber” shower tool, and a small size of the 16 hour Odor Blocker Body Wash.

I’m not a fan of overly man-scaped men (why do they insist on messing with their eyebrows?).  I do, however,  appreciate a man who smells good and has nice …read more

Have you had the opportunity to try any Sabon skin care of bath products?  I use their Organic Serum all the time.  It’s made with ingredients like Macadamia Nut Oil. Really nice stuff.  All the Sabon products are made of good quality ingredients and they come in the cutest containers – like apothecary jars and bottles.
I was looking at some of the items in their online gift shop section and they have a line of fancy soaps for men and women.  The Chocolate Dream soaps are wrapped  and would look great as part of a gift basket of bath products.

Know how the best looking clothes are usually not “one size fits all?” They’re tailored to run the length of your leg just-so, and nipped and tucked in a way that flaunts your curves in the right places.
Great beauty product lines also live and die by this principle — and Ayurvedic treatments are the leader of the pack when it comes to individualized skin care. Ayurveda is a centuries-old philosophy that promotes a holistic approach to beauty — that means paying as much mind to your lotions and masks as you do your daily intake of water and veggies. …read more

One of the newest skin care companies to hit the world of beauty is IQQU Beauty by popular YouTube guru Michelle Phan. You might have heard of Michelle if you follow the popular make-up gurus on YouTube and she has a personal blog under the name RiceBunny.
IQQU was created and inspired by everyday people who were never happy with their skin care products.
The name IQQU means inspiration.
The letter I represents IQQU as a person. The dot as a head, and the long shaft as the body.
In ancient times, the letter Q use to represent a thread going through the eye …read more

A friend and I passed by the Philosophy counter this past weekend and the sales associate told us about the newest product in the line, Divine Illumination. She raved about its wonderful skin brightening and moisturizing properties.
Philosophy Divine Illumination is their skin illuminating anti-aging moisturizer. It’s formulated to fade dark spots, hydrate, smooth and even out your skin tone. There are also firming and anti-wrinkle benefits. This would be a great product to try if you have age spots and feel your skin needs a little more ‘help’ than what you’re current moisturizer is doing.  I didn’t pick it up …read more

I’ve been sipping Orange-Spice iced tea all day, so this set from Kings & Queens sounds pretty tasty to me right now. Well, maybe not “tasty,” but I bet it smells pretty darn good.  The addition of the spicy cinnamon keeps a fruity scent from being too sweet.
According to Kings & Queens, former Queen of Spain, Queen Isabella was a big fan of cinnamon. She loved it so much that she financed Christopher Columbus’s expedition in the hopes that he would find a new route to further cinnamon riches.
Kings & Queens Gift Set, Queen Isabella – Cinnamon Orange 1 set

I tried Kenzoki Barefeet Fantasy, from Kenzo today. In fact, I had my boyfriend try it, too. He said, “Oh, it’s nice and cool.” I agree.

Kenzo uses special Rice Plant Water, from the Chinese province of Zhejiang, as a reinforcer to the product’s anti-oxidant ingredients. Cupuacu butter, an herbal butter from the Amazon forest, contains fatty acids that maintain the skin’s lipidic layer. Shea Butter, from the fruit of the Butyrospermum Parkii tree, repairs, soothes, calms, and protects the skin.
It has a thick consistency and a great scent – Kenzo calls it a Rice Steam scent. I think I smell a …read more

Kenzo Clear Eyelid and Lash Gel is a eye makeup remover that is gentle, but effective enough to remove even stubborn water-proof mascara. It is made from a combination of nature and the latest science. Kenzo Clear Eyelid and Lash Gel carries a soothing scent, so it’s an aromatherapy product, as well as a cosmetic remover.
Here’s a breakdown of some of the ingredients:
Plant Water: Contains mineral salts, trace elements, vitamins, and essential oils. It helps the other elements in the remover to work well and it improves the skins ability to absorb the active ingredients.
