The Awaken collection features a Sea Salt Scrub, Rejuvenating Body Mist, Bath and Shower Gel and Body Lotion. The Awaken essential oil blend uses lemon for vitality and freshness, along with coriander for happiness. It’s perfect for those mornings when you need a little boost. I love the shower gel, which is priced at $18 for a 8.7 oz bottle.

The Reactivate collection consists of a Body Lotion and Rejuvenating Body Mist. The Reactivate Essential Oil Blend features pepper and nutmeg, as well as jasmine oil. The scent is amazing and these red products offer a great “pick me up.” The body lotion ($20) features the Reactivate Essential Oil Blend along with lavender, horse chesnut, green tea extracts, and vitamins A, C and E.

After a hard day’s work, relax and unwind with the Unwind collection. These products are perfect for use before bedtime and include Body Lotion, Bath and Shower Gel, Rejuvenating Body Mist, Bath Salts and Massage Oil. The Unwind Essential Oil Blend mixes ylang ylang and chamomile for serenity and relaxation. The mineral-rich bath salts are priced at just $20 for a 16 oz jar.

You can check out all three collections from the Arbonne Aromassentials line at arbonne.com and other beauty retailers.

Beautorium Black Friday 7 for $10 Deal

Clean & Clear has a new Morning Burst In-Shower Facial that they sent me to try for review. It’s quick, simple to use. It’s made with ingredients like Ginseng, citrus, purifying clay, and fruit extracts.

The facial is part of the Clean & Clear Morning Burst line. It’s very simple to use, apply, let it set one minute, then work into your skin gently to exfoliate. One of the easiest ways to avoid breakouts is to exfoliate regularly. Exfoliating clears the way for additional skin treatments (moisturizer, acne medication, self-tanning products), and it leaves your skin soft and smooth.

I liked that the gritty part of the scrub- the “micro-beads” – were super fine and there were a lot of them. Excellent. My biggest complaint with exfoliating products is that they are thin on the “grit” which leaves me feeling like I am only able to really treat one part of my face.

Another thing that I liked about the product is the smell – it’s very fresh, doesn’t smell medicine-y. The opening is at the bottom of the bottle which saves time in the long run, when you’ve used most of it up and you are trying to get the last drop out.  Plus, the price is great.

You can find this product anywhere that Clean & Clear products are sold. Click here for directions to an online coupon.

Give Yourself a Facial While You Shower

The candles are availablein a citrusy Neroli Candle  and a Pine & Eucalyptus Candle. Here’s a quick explanation from The Organic Pharmacy…….

Most candles are made with paraffin – a petrochemical derivative.  When they burn they emit soot as well as the artificial fragrance that goes into them.  The air we breath outside of our homes can be toxic but the air we breath inside our home should be as pure as we can make it.  Artificial fragrances have been linked with depression, mood swings and breathing problems.
 
Our exquisite hand made candles are made with natural plant & bees wax. That means no soot, no petrochemicals and of course no artificial fragrances. Our blends use only the purest essential oils which means you inhale pure therapeutic scents and create a unique environment.
