Burt’s Bees Naturally Ageless Smoothing Eye Cream

I have always been a big fan of Burt's Bees Radiance Eye Cream. I decided to give this eye cream a try mostly because it is formulated with pomegranates[everything is better with pommies], magnolia and horse chestnut extracts. The delicious [to me at least my brother hated the scent] scented eye cream promises to smooth and diminish the appearance of lines, crow’s feet, dark circles and under eye puffiness. The eye cream made my skin smooth and soft. The best part I was able to fake a good night sleep with the just a little eye cream the night before.

I bought the travel size version of this on a recent trip and it wasn’t what I expected. I thought it would be a bland tasting toothpaste that does a mediocre job. It was actually had a pleasant tasting [very tasty, indeed...waiting isn’t eating toothpaste frown upon?] toothpaste and it didn’t have a bad aftertaste. I did find the toothpaste a bit gritty and not as smooth other toothpastes.  Overall, it left my mouth feeling clean and refreshed. I am not sure if it actually whitens but I don’t really need to whiten my teeth. My go to whitening tip....don’t smile and it works every time and it’s free!

Burt's Bees Natural Skin Care for Men Body Wash

I originally bought this body wash for my brother but I ran out of body wash one day I used this instead. I ended up liking it and started using his body wash more than my own.  The citrus smelling body wash is packed with coconut, cypress, fir and sunflower oils, vitamin B, soy proteins and citrus that moisturize and energize you awake in the morning. The best part is that it is all natural and free from harmful chemicals. The only downside to this body wash is that has mediocre lather.

Macadamia Natural Oil – Healing Oil Treatment

It seems once, one company makes a hit product every company is trying to release their own version of that product. Five years ago, if you asked me if I used hair oil, I would have been mildly offended thinking you are asking if I use Rogaine or some “natural” remedy to cure my hair problems. Now, hair oil treatments are mainstream and the name no longer carries a negative meaning [well at least not for me anymore]. As much as I like the Moroccan oil, I wanted to see what else the market had to offer [a typical makeup lover that always want more J]. Like all the other oil treatments it promises to reduce drying time and improving hair quality. Along with providing UV protection and when added to hair dye prior to application it extends the life of the dye job [I haven’t tried this yet..I am giving my hair a break from the dye jobs]. My hair became soft and shiny. The only downside is that when I applied this oil to my newly washed hair it became really greasy.

Naturally Victoria's Secret Grapefruit, Lime & Mint Energizing Body Polish

On my recent trip to the outlet mall in Jersey Gardens, I came across this little coveted treasure. It left my skin feeling so soft and smooth, I can't wait to go back and get some more. I was sorely disappointed when, I realized Victoria Secret no longer carries it online [pouts!]. But let me tell you a little more about this gem. The foaming sugar based body polish is loaded with essential minerals, lime peel, grapefruit and mint. Don't forget to apply a moisturizer to keep your skin softer longer. The only downside to scrub in my opinion is that it really smells bad.

Korres Fig Showergel

This all natural Greek treasure is one of the most moisturizing shower gel, I have ever tried. Upon opening the bottle, the sweet smell of freshly cut figs envelop you.  The fragrance is not overpowering and leaves a sweet lingering scent on  your skin The gel lathers up quite generously and leaves your skin feeling soft to the touch. After showering, usually I have to immediately put on lotion to lock in the moisture, but I noticed that after using this gel, I can usually wait till the later in the day before I need to apply lotion. The shower gel is packed with Vitamin C, E and zinc, that leaves thirsty skin quenched. Pamper the Greek goddess in you, with amazing skin.
