Inspired by ancient alchemy, and scented with warm spice and sweet floral undertones, Scent 7 Soap Bar is crafted with essential oils that embody the four elements: earth, air, fire, and water. When balanced, these four natural elements assist in harmonizing one’s chi. Earth stabilizes, air calms and regenerates, fire stimulates the power of the heart, and water purifies. Created with shea butter and coconut oil, Scent 7 Soap Bar effectively nurtures the skin, increasing hydration and thoroughly cleansing the body. Invigorate your senses and lift your spirit with each use.

 

 

 

Alex and Ani Charm Bangle ($28)

This is much prettier in person. I just wish it was silver, not gold. It will make a wonderful gift though!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sisley Paris Black Rose Cream Mask ($28.59)  Not.Even.Kidding! This sample is valued at $28.  The full size mask is 2.1oz. and is $158.  No matter how fabulous this mask is I will not buy the full size! UGH now watch me love it. :-/

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nails Inc. Nail Polish in Brook Street ($3.75) Cute little bottle, but so not my color.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Etre Belle Cosmetics ~ Liplift Peel ($17.86) I love stuff for my lips. I didn’t notice a visible difference, but I did feel a slight tingle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alterna Haircare ~ BAMBOO Volume Plumping Strand Expand ($4.45)  This helps to add volume to your hair from the root to tip.

I don’t know what it is, but I just don’t like the scent of any Alterna products.

 

 

 



postheadericon Eco-Emi ~ March 2014

 

Eco-Emi It’s a monthly subscription service that’s $15/month with free shipping.  They send you a box full of earth-friendly, Eco-friendly goodies in festive beautifully packaged priority mailed boxes.

This month Eco-Emi is promoting slumber parties! They’ve provided us with some snacks and girly stuff to get the party started.

postheadericon Lip Factory ~ March 2014

 

Lip Factory Inc, is an exclusive makeup subscription service. It’s $22 a month. Lip Factory sends a mixture of cosmetic products, but every four months they do their “All About the Lips” box. This month is “All About The Lips”

Here is what I got.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mirenesse ~ Lip Bomb  ($34.90): I am  fascinated by how much these lip bombs cost!  This is 1.5x the cost of the box right here! I love how this goes on velvety and doesn’t smear.

Ellovi ~ Lip Butter ($5)

Jesse’s Girl ~ Vitamin E Treatment. ($3) Color-free moisturizing lipstick.

Jesse’s Girl ~ Lip Liner in Brick ($1.99) This has a genius built in cap sharpener!

Cargo Cosmetics ~ Lip Quad in Casablanca ($24) I love Cargo. I’ve got them in LBB and can’t get enough.

So this month was another winner in my book!

Slowganic stands for slow,raw and organic.
This cleanser is made with raw materials such as lemon extract, lime oil, and herbs. It digs deep into the pores and removes all impurities without stripping the face of moisture.
