Chantecaille Retinol Body Treatment

April 26, 2011  /  Comments (1)

All anyone can seem to talk about is “royal this” and “royal that.” So, in light of the Royal Wedding taking place on Friday, I thought I’d share a royal body treatment: Chantecaille Retinol Body Treatment with Rose and Edelweiss. 

Now, I don’t remember ever being particularly keen on Chantecaille products before – I’ve definitely tried a lipstick or a blush here and there – but wasn’t so obsessed that I took to this blog to write about it. Well, ladies, I may have to retry the goods because this body lotion is pure bliss.

Not only does the Retinol Body Treatment smell like …

  Hello, Beauty Banterers – I’ve missed you! Seems just yesterday I was talking about gifts for the holidays and now it’s Spring. Really?… (Well, it’s Spring here on the West Coast – those in the East may beg to differ.) With the changing of the seasons, I find my skincare, hair care, and makeup all change in different ways. As does my perfume. Although I have one go-to scent I wear year-round, I like to mix it up a bit from time to time.

I’m back from my vacation. I was in Tulum, Mexico where the beaches are white and the ocean is turquoise. Truly picturesque. They have this clay in Tulum, indigenous of the region, that is mean to heal, purify, rejuvenate and detoxify. It’s the most amazing experience.

GIVEAWAY:
wembe Eco-Lux Assai Berrry Soap Set

February 23, 2011  /  Comments (6)
I first wrote about wembe’s incredible soaps about a year ago – an “eco-lux” soap collection created in Paraguay and inspired by the rainforest, made with locally grown organic plants and essential oil blends. With over a dozen soaps to choose from – to exfoliate, nourish, soothe and moisturize – my favorite has to be the loofah exfoliating blend. Made with almond oil, dill and essential oils, the soap contains a vegetable sponge at its core. Like an earth friendly buff puff, it exfoliates and it nourishes, without petrochemicals, parabens, sulfates, silicone or synthetics. Their latest creation, the Assai Berry bar…, is
