L’Occitane’s Verveine Argumes ~ #Review

I love products with citrus scent. It always reminds me of summer. If you are just like me, I bet you would enjoy using L’Occitane’s Verveine Argumes. I especially enjoy it in the mornings. It wakes me up and helps me start off the day on the right foot.

L'Occitane Velvet Body Balm ~ #Review

It's time to Spring forward! This past weekend we turned our clocks forward so we can jump into Spring faster.  I am getting sick of Winter and I am so glad Spring is coming in a few weeks so I can not worry about shoveling snow, heavy coats, broken furnaces, and crazy dry skin.  I get dry skin all year round but Winter is always the worst.  When Spring comes around, of course I would need to change my moisturizers and this Spring you will love L'Occitane Velvet Body Balm.

Vaseline Intensive Care Repairing Serum ~ #Review

I have been using the brand Vaseline for years.  Vaseline was the first lotion brand I used because that is what my mom purchased all the time.  I love them so much that last year I purchase a few to giveaway to my daughter's Day Care providers as their Christmas gift.  You have no idea how much appreciative they have to recieve hand creams.  At the day care, they would wash their hands so often that their hands get very dry.  The Day Care only provides them with soap but no lotions.  I rather that they focus on the kids instead of felling uncomfortable all day because their hands were so dry.

Great Stocking Stuffers Ideas ~ #2013ChristmasGiftGuide #Review #Giveaway

Only a few shopping days left and I could smell Christmas in the air.  My stockings are hung by the chimney on the wall with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas daddy soon would be there.  I am patiently waiting for my husband to hurry up to make his purchases so the stockings are "filled with care".  They need to be stuffed to the rim with exciting products to try and use.  I think this Boxing Day I should purchase new stockings that are twice the size of the ones I have now.



Here are some last minute stocking stuffers ideas.  I like my stocking stuffers contain product to be more useful and practical products to own.  So in other words, gift cards and beauty products are the most ideal things I would like to see in my stockings. (*hint*hint*).

Ecotools are great.  I have been using the brush for a few months and I have not gone back to my old brush set, and most likely never will again.  They are super soft on my skin and do a perfect job applying cosmetics on my skin.  I also love EcoTools Bath Sponge and the Dual sided facial buffs.  They help leave my skin all squeaky clean after my hot shower.

What makes them eco-friendly? The brushes are 100% cruelty-free, the soft bristles are made of synthetic taklon and the handles are made of bamboo and recycled aluminum ferrules.  The Bath Sponge is 100% recycled sponge and could also be recycled.  The Dual sided facial buffs is made from bamboo.

The other great product to add in my stocking is soaps and lotions.  I think I will always love to continue to use a bar of soap.  I use both liquid soap and bar of soap depending on my mood.  Scented soaps are usually the ones I enjoy using.  I really like The Scottish Fine Soaps "Soap in a Tin".  They come in a pretty little tin I could reuse to hold my paper clips or change.  The soaps leave my skin squeaky clean and leaves a nice light scent.

After using the "Soap in a Tin" I like to use Au Lait Hand and Nail Cream afterwards to keep my hands hydrated.  I can't believe how soft it makes my hands.  I could not stop touching them.  The cream is light and gentle.  It absorbs quickly which gives me a matte dry finish.  There is no greasy feel or bad odor but a light clean scent.

Ecotools are are available in Walmart, Amazon.ca, Farleyco.ca, selected Brunet, Familiprix, Pharmasave, Proxim, Uniprix.

Scottish Fine Soaps are available at Winners, HomeSense, Amazon.ca and Farleyco.ca.

Eaurganic has the Perfect Skin Care Products ~ #Review & #Giveaway

Eaurganic has these great products for refreshing and healthy looking skin using just cleanser, toner, and moisturizer.

Step 1 (Splash 120ml, Reg $29.99, Sale on Shop.ca $20.99)
Ultra-Mild facial cleanser - wow, this cleanser is so gentle, gentler than my baby wash I use for my daughter.  It is suitable for all ages and skin types including sensitive skin.  It contains "sulfate-free formula and has a natural sugar-based cleansing compound that's mild on the skin.  It also contains full of organic Glycerin and a natural lipid layer enhancer that helps soften the skin and brighten up dull-looking complexions."

It is advised to remove makeup like using Eaurganic Fine makeup remover milk first before using this cleanser.

It is so light I almost wonder if I am using any cleaner at all.  It is so gentle I have even used it on my daughter.  It cleansed and does not strip away any moisture that would leave my face dry.  This is a fantastic cleanser to use everyday and I don't know if I could live without it.

Step 2 (Nature 120ml, Reg $29.99, Sale on Shop.ca $20.99)
Pore-refining facial tonic - must be made for my skin type...how did they know.  I use toners after each face wash to remove any lingering dirt or residue.  I can't apply any moisturizer without my routine of wiping down my face to make sure my face is squeaky clean.

Toners helps at removing any last traces of dirt or oil.  It proclaims it relieving redness and irritation and "increases skin absorption and enhances the effectiveness of other products, particularly moisturizer and anti-aging products".

It also proclaims that it is "highly effective at tightening up enlarged pores and prevent future pores by reducing buildup and creating an even base" to apply your makeup.

All toner I've used in the past come in a similarly shaped pour bottle but this one is a spray which I love.  This spray bottle allows a better control of how much to put into a cotton pad.  A few times I have pour more than I should and founded it a waste.  I found the toner leaving my face fresher and cleaner and preparing for me to apply my moisturizer.

Step 3 (Ecstasy 50ml, Reg $59.95, Sale on Shop.ca $41.95)
Anti-Wrinkle Moisturizer - is perfect for my dehydrated, oily skin.

It proclaims to "reduce fine lines and wrinkles to give you younger, glowing skin.  It uses a special blend of botanical AHAs, including glycolic acid, to gently peel away the top layer of skin cells from the skin's surface, leaving your with the fresh, smooth skin underneath."

It also proclaims to "leaves your skin soft and plump and suited for anyone who suffers from fine lines and wrinkles due to aging skin."

This is a great moisturize for my skin type.  I don't see many wrinkles (yet!), but it is better I start now to prevent it from happening. This creme is fantastic!  It absorbs fast and non greasy.  It is a thicker cream so it is perfect as my night cream.  When I wake up the next morning my skin feels hydrated and comfortable which helps me to tackle another day at work.



The bottom line, I love these products.  They are a must try if you are looking for refreshing, illuminating, happy and healthy skin.  The products contains no nasties for your skin and who wants to put that on or in their body.  Natural and organic ingredients are safe and perfect for maintaining healthier looking skin.

Eaurganic: Rosemary Lavender Hand & Body Lotion ~ #Review

When I had the chance to review another great Canadian product - Eaurganic: Rosemary Lavender Hand & Body Lotion, I was all over it.  I cannot live without my lotion/cream and this is permanently sitting on my desk.  No matter what kind of weather it is, my skin is dry regardless how much water I drink during the day.  If you love the smell of lavender, you will love this lotion I have discovered.

I have to say this hand & body lotion is amazing.  The scent of the lavender is noticeable at first but it almost dissipates once I rub it into my skin.  It feels amazing on my hands.  I cant believe how soft and smooth my hands are.  I keep on rubbing them just to feel how soft my hands are.  I love it so much I started to rub it on the rest of my body and using it on my daughters.  This light weight lotion is perfect for this summer because it absorbs quickly and is non-greasy.  Even after I washed my hands, my hands still feel soft and smooth.

Eaurganic products are made with minimum of 95% natural ingredients and the plant ingredients are certified to be at least 95% organic.

Neolia was brought by Summum Beaute International in Quebec "has become one of the Canadian leaders in the beauty field specializing in manufacturing and distributing products for estheticians, pharmacies and department stores.

Neolia provides high quality body & hair care, by "promoting hydration and healthy, glowing skin and hair by virtue of its 100% organic oils."

I received a bottle of their Apricot Body Lotion, Inca Inchi shampoo and conditioner, and a Italian Olive Oil soap bar.

I absolutely love the body lotion.  It absorbs quickly and leaves my hands soft and smooth.  I have been using it constantly after each hand wash, which is often when I have two little girls constantly making messes.  The only thing I am not too crazy of is the peach scent but it is not very strong so it does not bother me.  I tried a sample of the extra virgin olive oil lotion, which I really enjoyed using.  I could use this lotion all the time - summer, winter, day or night.  It is so gentle on my hands that I have used it on my 20 month old daughter.  However, I do love the smell of the bar of soap.  I could sniff that all day.  After using it, it does not leave any residue or bad odor.  It left me feeling all fresh and squeeky clean.  I adore the shampoo and conditioner.  It made my hair clean and nice and soft.  Once again there was no residue or bad odor after I washed my hair.

I very much enjoyed their products, and I would highly recommend this product to anyone.  I am glad to find another great Canadian company making top quality products.  I loved these products so much, I am also using them on my baby girl.

Available at Jean Coutu, Uniprix, Brunet, Costco, Walmart, and www.neolia.com.  Don't forget to visit them on Facebook and their website for great promotions and contests.
