The lip balm promises to hydrate and restore dry lips. The flavor and fragrance free lip balm is packed with coconut and jojoba oil to keep lips hydrated and supple.

Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Intensive Hand Cream








My hands always get dry no matter if it is warm, hot, freezing or “perfect” outside. I read  many good reviews of this product on Sephora and decided to give this a try. The 100% pure argan oil and shea butter cream promised to be hydrating and non-greasy.  The rich cream had a whipped consistency which went on smooth and didn’t feel greasy or heavy on my hands. It did have a delicate apricot and vanilla scent, that made this a treat to rub on. The only downside to this paraben, sulfate and phthalate free cream is that I didn’t feel the cream lasted long enough to justice the $22  price tag.

The 100% biodegradable promises to feed and restore cells. The formula is also vegan, paraben, gluten synthetic fragrance, silicone and phthalate free. The body wash gave a generous lather and left my skin feel smooth and soft. Overall, my favorite part of this product was the scent and my skin felt tingly like my cells were getting “stimulated” but that sounds so wrong.

Wen Fig Cleansing Conditoner





The five in one [shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, detangler and leave - in conditioner] conditioning cleanser is packed with aloe leaf juice, fig, and sweet almond oil. The cleanser promises to improve the condition of hair, reduce frizz and retain color.  The cleansing conditioner is free of sulfates and phthalates and provides lightweight, low lather conditioning to hair.  I love the sweet floral scent but I found the cleansing conditioner was too rich. It made my hair feel greasy, sticky, and  heavy. I felt like someone dropped a bucket of gel on my hair and it dried and got tacky. I think my hair is too thick for the conditioner so I usually mix this cleansing conditioner with my regular conditioner to make my hair more manageable.  I probably would not buy this again.

The Soap & Paper Factory Green Tea Shea Butter Soap









I recently had a big haul at the Soap and Paper Factory and being a huge fan of specialty soap -- I decided to use the soap first. Out of the four different ones I bought, I couldn’t decide so I closed my eyes and picked at random. I ended up picking up the crisp scented green tea shea butter soap.  The scent is uplighting and makes taking a shower very pleasant.  It is a perfect way to unwind into tranquility. The soap provided a generous lather and left my skin soft, moisturized and smooth. Overall, it is a good quality soap; I just wasn’t fond of the scent. I am more into floral or sweet scents.This soap is perfect if you like “spa scented” soaps that are refreshing, crisp, and uplifting that is not packed with harsh detergents or petrochemicals, additives, parabens, phthalates, or dyes. And I also love the cute paper the soap came wrapped up in. It made it ready for gift giving or treating yourself to special treat.
