Avon Senses Cozy Vanilla & Coconut Body Lotion Review

2 Comments

Avon has a new line of the Avon Senses products that includes Cozy Vanilla & Coconut, Sparkling Grapefruit & Orange Blossom and Fresh Bergamot & Wild Mint. The products in this line include a body lotion, shower gel and body mist.

I just tried out the Avon Senses Cozy Vanilla & Coconut Body Lotion and WOW this is a new favorite for me. The note are cozy vanilla, creamy coconut and comforting chamomile. 

For me this one is a nice creamy vanilla with a touch of bakery coconut which makes it smell like a vanilla cookie! I’m not getting a floral scent from this one — just nice creamy vanilla!

The formula is shea butter and vitamin E and it’s moisturizing without being heavy which is nice for Summer. It feels light on my skin.

It is Free from parabens, mineral oil, phthalates and dyes.

Price: $13.99 online at Avon Senses Cozy Vanilla & Coconut Body Lotion.

Too Faced Dew You Fresh Glow Luminous Face Primer Review

2 Comments

I just picked up the new Too Faced Dew You Fresh Glow Luminous Face Primer and I am loving it! This is going to be my new Summer favorite.

The Dew You Face Primer comes in 3 shades: Radiant Pearl, Radiant Nude and Radiant Carmel. I have the pearl shade. It’s super translucent.

What I love about this product is that it’s super moisturizing and it smells like watermelon and cucumber.

As described, Dew You is completely weightless. I hate wearing heavy products in the Summer and this one feels so refreshing on my face. I also found that it works so well under my make-up. I am a huge fan of the It Bye Bye Under Eye Waterproof Concealer and when I apply this concealer over the Dew You it feels amazing! No more tugging under my eyes, it just glides right on.

I would call the Too Faced Dew You a fresh primer that makes my skin feel light and refreshed and I love that I get a little bit of glow without a hard shimmer. I truly do feel luminous!

What’s to love?

First up I love the packaging. It’s green, white and pale pink with a mermaid motif. It’s a great pattern for Summer and I’m glad to see a packaging that I love.

The scent of the Sea-Tox products is light and fresh. It smells like the ocean with a very light hit of floral. To me the products are not very strongly scented.

Sea-Tox Products include:

  • Seaweed Body Cream (I really love the fresh scent)
  • Seaweed Body Lotion
  • Seaweed Hair Mist (I love how this feels on my hair, it’s light)
  • Sea Mineral All Over Mist
  • Sea Mineral Body Polish (I get great exfoliation with this body polish)
  • Sea Mineral Shimmer Gel (I love this gel, it’s not stick and smells so good)
  • Mer-mazing Face Sheet Mask
  • Sea Wave Hair Foam
  • Seaweed Clay Mask
  • Sea Salt Bath Soak
  • Sea Mineral Body Wash (this one is orange)

Bath & Body Works NEW Summer 2017 Shower Jelly Review

5 Comments

I picked up two of the brand new Bath & Body Works Summer 2017 Shower Jellies and they are really neat! Like the Shapeable Soap they come in:

  • Cabana Breeze – Blue and it smells like: Suntan lotion and a fresh cotton towel.
  • Poolside Pop – Pink and it smells like: Fruity drinks with umbrellas and sun-drenched afternoons.
  • Grapefruit Splash – Orange and it smells like: Electric sunsets and endless summers.
  • Liquid Sunshine – Green and it smells like: Sunny skies and the shade of a palm tree.
  • Pineapple Punch – Aqua and it smells like: Pineapple popsicles and pool floats.

What’s to love?

The Summer Shower Jelly has a gel-like texture and it’s infused with honey and shea butter extract which does make my skin soft.

It’s super easy to use the jelly, I just scoop a small amount in my hand and it lathers up like a soap and it’s pretty fun to play with! I love that these scents are so Summery and that they last after getting out of the shower too. I also like using these shower jellies as a hand soap in my bathroom! Everyone loves them.

Bath & Body Works NEW Shapeable Soap Review

9 Comments

I am so excited about the new Bath & Body Works Summer 2017 line which includes the  Shapeable Soap. The Shapeable Soap comes in 3 Summer scents and they had all 3 in my store. They include:

  • Cabana Breeze – Blue and it smells like: Suntan lotion and a fresh cotton towel.
  • Poolside Pop – Pink and it smells like: Fruity drinks with umbrellas and sun-drenched afternoons.
  • Liquid Sunshine – Green and it smells like: Sunny skies and the shade of a palm tree.

I have the blue Cabana Breeze and the green Liquid Sunshine.

What’s to love?

The Shapeable Soap comes in an aerosol can (like shaving cream) and either squirts out in thin ribbons or a mound if you hold the can close to your hand.

The soap foam holds its shape really well and you can mold and play with it too. I am loving this product! It’s so fun to play with for adults and kids and it works great as soap too.

The scents are beautiful and light and they lingered on my hands which I liked and so far they are not irritating to my skin.

They are a bit pricey at $16.50 but they were having a Buy 3, Get 2 sale and I had a 20% off coupon so that brought the cost down.

I do love these so much that I want to buy the 3 other scents too, they are so much fun!

Julep Your Happy Look Pore-Minimizing Blush Review

1 Comment

I chose the Julep Your Happy Look Pore-Minimizing Blush as a “swap” item in my June Julep box and I am really impressed. This is my first experience with Julep make-up.

What’s to love?

First up the packaging is nice with a quality black compact that opens up to a square pan of product and good mirror. There is no brush with this one.

The blush comes in 4 shades: Peach Bellini, Petal Pink, Clover Pink and Rosewood. I have the Clover Pink.

I’ve been using this Pore-Minimizing Blush now for about a week and I love it. The formula looks amazing on my over 40 skin. It gives me a beautiful sheer glowy look that does seem to minimize my pores (it is a mineral-based blush). I like this blush equally as much as the It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Blush.

The muted pink with a light gold undertone looks great on my fair complexion and I can build on it with a little highlighter if I want. I would definitely place this as a higher end blush.

Now I can’t wait for July and I want to try more Julep make-up products!

Retail Price: $24, $19.20 Maven
