Aromatherapy Optimism - Bright Blossoms Sudsing Scrub Review

Aromatherapy Optimism - Bright Blossoms Sudsing Scrub Review

Aromatherapy Optimism - Bright Blossoms Sudsing Scrub ($13.00) is a body scrub that foams up while exfoliating the skin. It smells like jasmine and spring to me. It contains small sugar grains that help you exfoliate your skin. A lot of exfoliating products don't foam up, so it's nice to see one...

Crabtree & Evelyn Relaxing Body Lotion Review

Crabtree & Evelyn Relaxing Body Lotion ($19.50 for 8.5 fl. oz.) is a really nice blend of lavender and chamomile essential oils, which are both scents known to help relax/calm you.

Chanel Orange Fizz Nail Colour Review & Swatch

Chanel Orange Fizz Nail Colour Review & Swatch

Chanel Orange Fizz Le Vernis Nail Colour ($23.00) is part of Chanel's summer makeup collection. It's described as a "coral," which is a fairly accurate description. I'd say it runs more like an orange-coral than a pink-coral though, and I think that is something important to note. It's a creamy,...

MAC Sugarsweet Peppermint Patti & Seasonal Peach Swatches

MAC's Sugarsweet Collection brought us two fun nail lacquers: Peppermint Patti and Seasonal Peach.

Peppermint Patti is a minty green cream. It's not overly bright, but it isn't super pale either--it's kind of a medium in the color range. The swatch above is with two regular coats (not too thin, not...

True Blue Spa Just a Minute Manicure Scrub for Soft Paws

True Blue Spa Just a Minute 60-Second Manicure Scrub ($12.00) is a sugar scrub designed for hands. The product claims that you just need to use it on your hands for sixty seconds to have hands that looked like they spent the day at the spa. I have to admit I was pretty skeptical, because I wasn't...
