The Winner Of My L’Occitane 28 Day Divine Renewal Program Is…

Heather S! Congrats Heather! I will be getting in touch with you shortly.

I am sure I will be having another giveaway soon, so keep reading my blog! I appreciate all my readers and would love a change to give more of you prizes!

Review and Giveaway — L’Occitane 28 Day Divine Renewal Program

I have just finished a new skin care regimine from L’Occitane called the Divine Renewal Program ($130 for 28 treatments) that launches today on usa.loccitane.com. It contains organic immortelle essential oil and it acts in 4 steps, specifically developed to work in tune with the skin renewal cycle. The product is used for 28 days; 4 formulas in 4 weeks to enhance overworked skin’s natural ability to regenerate.

Below is info on the 4 weeks of treatment. At the bottom is info on the giveaway (yay!).

• Week 1- Gentle Exfoliation: Pistacia lentiscus or “Mastic Tree” essential oil acts as a gentle exfoliator by encouraging the natural shedding process of the skin, leaving the skin feeling more soft and smooth.

• Week 2- Hydration & Nutrition: A unique blend of 4 vegetable oils, combined with cistus essential oil, help nourish and hydrate skin.

• Week 3- Balance: Myrtle and Rosemary essential oils, with rebalancing properties, contribute to the overall well-being of the skin.

• Week 4- Renewal: Carrot, Cypress and Immortelle essential oils provide a solution to the visible signs of aging for a glowing complexion.

What I think: This is such an interesting idea for treating aging skin. When I opened the box and saw the 4 rows of individual capsules, I noticed that they seemed all the same. But, as I used each daily treatment, I could see different results to my skin each week.

My skin is very sensitive, so the first week was a bit hard on my skin, so I just used half a treatment each day. But, by the second week, my skin seemed smoother and was happy to get to the hydration week! By my last week of treatment, my skin tone was more even and my fine lines and wrinkles were definitely less noticeable! This is really a great system!

So, do you want to win this fabulous system for yourself??? Leave a comment letting me know why you think this would be great for your skin! I will choose a winner on Sunday March 1st. US residents only please. Good Luck!

My Beauty Faves Week of February 9-15, 2015

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you are having a fun day being with friends, family or your love!

This week I’m loving a romantic cherry blossom fragrance, a refreshing facial toner, skincare that helps fade dark spots and smoothing hair care:

L’Occitane Cherry Blossom L’Eau de Toilette ($45 1.7 fl. oz.) — Just like a cherry blossom, this delicious new fragrance lifts us out of that winter rut with first signs of a spring in a light, fruity scent of watermelon, blackcurrants and lemon. Adorable pink and red packaging designed by Provençal illustrator Charlotte Gastaut and authentic cherry extract from Lubéron, France, gives the product a romantic French touch – perfect for Valentine’s Day! Products are also available Fragrance Touch ($22), Moisturizing Milk ($25) and Hand Cream ($12).

What I think: This is fresh and sweet, perfect from Valentine’s Day through Summer (or all year round if you wish)! It is so feminine, but bright as well. LOVE

Available at usa.loccitane.com

Heaven Skincare Orange Flower Cell Renewal Hydrogel (10ml for $19.50, 30ml for $37.05 and 120ml for $78) — Clean, prime, hydrate and firm with Heaven Skincare’s self-healing hydrogels. Consisting of a cross link network of organic polymer-style molecules that calm, soothe and firm skin tissue, Heaven Skincare’s hydrogels deliver vital skin nutrients and hydration, making them more than just an ordinary toner. To use, apply after cleansing with a cotton ball or use as a primer before foundation. Also available in Chamomile Desensitising and Peppermint Clarifying Hydrogels.

What I think: This gel is so refreshing and smells fantastic! I notice that it calms my skin and makes it very smooth and soft. I use it like a toner, before serums and moisturizers. Great to use morning and night!

AMBI Facial Care Kit ($19.99 USD) — Now, have the chance to try our top-selling products in the AMBI line.

This kit features:

AMBI EVEN & CLEAR Foaming Cleanser
AMBI EVEN & CLEAR Daily Moisturizer with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30
AMBI Fade Cream – Normal

Start on the path to smooth, even toned skin with the AMBI EVEN & CLEAR Foaming Cleanser, a gentle foaming cleanser that helps to clear and prevent pimples and breakouts. Then moisturize skin with the AMBI EVEN & CLEAR Daily Moisturizer with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30, a lightweight moisturizer which goes beyond nourishing to help even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of skin discolorations. For those dark marks on your skin, try the AMBI Fade Cream – Normal. It helps to effectively fade dark marks in as little as two weeks.

What I think: I really like this brand. It’s affordable, but really effective. It keeps skin clear, plus the fade cream really works in lightening up my dark spots. The moisturizer softens my skin and blends in well without being heavy or greasy.

Available at http://www.shopambi.com and at national mass, drug and beauty supply stores.

La Bella Anti-Sponge Shampoo and Conditioner ($3.99 each USD) — Fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels as you go back and forth from the cold and damp outside to warm and dry inside can cause unwanted frizz and “puffy” looking hair. Fend off frizz and flyaways with a smoothing shampoo and conditioner with avocado oil that hydrates and seals hair to lock out excess moisture and other frizz factors.

What I think: I suffer from frizzy hair all year, so I love trying something that can help tame it. Used together, this shampoo and conditioner really helped smooth my hair and it stayed smooth until my next wash!

available at drugstores near you.

Strange Invisible Perfumes, Perfumes of the Zodiac Collection ($125 per perfume– This extraordinary collection consists of twelve botanical fragrances, each representing a sign on the astrological chart. Drawing inspiration from her fascination with the cosmos, Balahoutis was compelled to create this collection to convey the complexity of astrology through the art of botanical perfumery.

“I see the constellations of the zodiac as a palette of twelve mysterious essences. Like botanical essences, their content is complex and elusive. They somehow power aspects of our personalities and influence our lives certainly, yet without explanation.” – Alexandra Balahoutis, Perfumer and Founder

The twelve scents are intended to be layered and the wearer encouraged to choose the scent or scents they most admire, rather than feel limited to their sun sign. “We all have more than one sign layered within our personality much like the layers of a perfume composition. The Perfumes of the Zodiac collection lends itself to reflect that,” says Balahoutis.
