Holiday Scents & Scrubs

Filed Under Bath & Body, Holidays | 3 Comments

‘Tis the season for cranberries and snow and I’m betting what you really need is a little rest and relaxation. But how does one find the time to indulge in a hot relaxing bath in between Christmas shopping, travel plans and getting your home ready for guests? If you are stressed and busy but have little time for R & R, let the orange and cranberry scents from Lather turn your shower into a spa!

Start with the wonderful Cranberry Sugar Scrub made with pure turbinado sugar granules and cranberry seeds, this is a gentle scrub that surrounds you with the refreshing scent of cranberry seeds. If you have sensitive skin, this scrub is a perfectly gentle choice for you.

Follow with Lather’s Cranberry Orange Body Wash, so fresh and subtle you’ll find yourself relaxing before you know it. Pamper your skin with the finishing touch of the Cranberry Orange Body Lotion. Light yet nourishing, this whole collection will cradle you in gentleness, taking good care of you and leaving you feeling warm and fuzzy inside.

Insider Beauty Tip:

For an experience that’s more energizing than relaxing (and smells great!) mix and match Lather’s Cranberry Collection with the Lalicious Holiday release Candy Cane Scrub and Body Butter. Smells exactly like those candy canes from your childhood days and oh so moisturizing!

Better than your first cup of coffee, this scrub will wake you up and save you time in the morning. LaLicious Coffee Bean Sugar Souffle Body Scrub is made from all natural ingredients, but with this scrub that’s not all there is to it. This whipped and yummy concoction will moisturize your skin so well, you will not need lotion after your shower!

Like the smell of freshly roasted coffee beans mixed with the perfect amount of sugar, this is the best scrub for cold winter days. If you have scaly winter skin use a Lalicious scrub and I promise your skin worries will be over. You can even shave with Lalicious scrubs! Rinse the sugar crystals away and get the closest shave that leaves your legs highly moisturized.

The wonderful scent of fresh coffee rinses away with the shower water, so you can pick your scent for the day. My pick? Touch the Lalicious amazing body butter in Vanilla to your pulse points for a scent that will have you feeling warm and cozy all day long.

Haute Face Lipsticks

Filed Under Makeup | 2 Comments

When I read that,Cassandra Mills, former record producer and creator of Haute Cosmetics made her line to flatter any skin tone, I have to admit I thought, nice idea but I’ve heard this before. Little did I know I was in for a surprise.

The two lipsticks I was trying looked nice, but I thought the colors looked a little dull for my coloring. I was also wondering what the heck the difference was between matte lipstick and cream lipstick, they’re both not shiny, right?

Well let me tell you the difference both in the colors and in the texture! As I put the matte lipstick in “fresh” on I was so surprised to see how well it blends in with my complexion. This is different than complementing my coloring, this actually at the same time looks like it blends in with me (like it was made specifically for me) and it draws my look together making my skin, hair and eyes pop. All this without looking dramatic or bright.

The difference between creme and matte lipstick, I learned, is a pretty huge one. Neither are shiny or glossy, but creme is creamy (as you might expect) and matte is flat. Matte almost looks as if it’s a part of your lips. Similar to the difference between asking for your photographs with a matte finish or a satin finish, they both create different looks.

This is one of my favorite lipsticks I have come across in a long time, even the case is super chic, chocolate with a matte finish and a hip shape. It will make a perfect finish to a dramatic smokey eye and looks great for the everyday natural look.

One tip, the matte lipstick is a bit dry and works best when worn over a moisturizing lip balm, such as Brown Bag Botanicals Shea Lip Repair.
