Grammy's Jack Black lip balm with spf-get some

 Hello Gorgeous,

It's Grammy time! Kelly Rowland is a fan of this lip balm and so am I. I put it on myself and I put it on my son. The mango flavor is our favorite, but I am also a big fan of the fact that this has a dual spectrum sunscreen in it. If you are going to be snowboarding, this will protect your lips from wind and sun burn while riding! If you are going surfing ( wetsuit needed!) this will again, aid in keeping the salt chap and sunburn at bay.

Now the photo is of a collection no longer available, sorry. Alas! There is a 4 pc set available right now at the GetJackBlack website to get 4 for $25. Perfect for a Valentine's day gift or for a Grammy night out!
###

Face it. Our lips take a hit when the temperature drops. Fight the wind, snow, sun and chill with Jack Black’s limited edition set of seven ultra-moisturizing, award-winning SPF 25 lip balms! 

 
This super troupe of our famous, moisturizing, SPF 25 balms keep lips healthy and protected all year long. With classic Natural Mint & Shea Butter, Grapefruit & Ginger, Shea Butter & Vitamin E and new, limited edition, Açai Berry & Vanilla, Balm Squad™ Lip Quad makes the perfect gift.

Hi there Gorgeous,
Now with the hoopla of the WM Phoenix Open and Super Bowl 46 over, tis time to get serious and down to business about celebrating for Valentines Day.

I encourage you to rethink the day-please consider it a chance to love unabashedly, with abandon and to practice a multitude of random acts of love and compassion.

Remember-the more you give the more you get! Valentine's day is so win win win-when you focus on loving others, yourself, doing acts of service and love is far better than just focusing on a significant other.

There are many old folks homes that need a sweet smile to come in and hug, play cards and visit. Maybe even your neighbor needs this? What about the children around you? They could use an encouraging and positive word-from you! Care for some stray animals, was the coffee cups at work without being asked-just do something to show love. It will make you feel amazing!

Now-as you know, I'm a fragrance junkie. I love fragrance. Perfume is my favorite accessory. I have been playing with my sample of the new fragrance by Halle Berry made by Coty. I have the notes listed below, and it's a light fruity floral-no wonder I like it. But-one thing-it smells amazing for the first 15 minutes and then starts to fade and in an hour I don't really have much of a scent left? I'm not opposed to reapplying, but there are some fragrances that I put on that don't come off til I shower!

Here's the notes-enjoy!
Top notes of Italian Bergamot, Dewfruit, Freesia and Apple, passionate heart notes of White Champaca and Mangosteen, and sensual drydown notes of Branches of Ambered Okoume, Patchouli and Lusks, the new Revel the Passion is a more alluring interpretation of the original Reveal fragrance.

Available in a 15 ml and a 30 ml at Sears, Kohls and Rite Aid-but, the internets are reporting that they can't find it in the stores? I'll be at Kohls this week and will check-otherwise-I just may have to sparingly use my sample!

The price point is under $30.00.

L'Occitane Cherry Princess pearlescent shower cream: review for you

Are You Using These Nighttime Beauty Essentials?

It actually matters what you wear when you go to bed -- on your face that is. See the products that'll help your skin get its best beauty sleep

This is a TotalBeauty.com skin care products article Research says your body temperature cools down when you're sleeping, which boosts the efficacy of ingredients that are absorbed into your skin. That's why what you put on your face at night does matter. See the 3 products our editor can't go to bed without. Get them

Hello Gorgeous!
I was saving this product review for Valentines' Day-but it's just too good to wait!

My experience sampling the Cerisier Princesse pearlescent shower cream from L'Occitane ( that's Cherry Princess for those of us who don't speak french)
is that it's a very light and soft scent which is floral and fruity.

I used my shower foam on a scrubby exfoliating pouf and got a nice lather-but not extreme-nor was it lacking. In fact, it felt like just the right amount. Though, I think anything at 5 a.m. feels just right.

It contains a cherry extract from Luberon, Provence and personally-reminds me of eating Cherry Garcia ice cream from Ben and Jerry's.

Note on the ingredients: it does contain sodium laureth sulfate-so you could possibly grow a tail-but it will smell good and feel soft to the touch.

I think you should get some of this right now-but if you must wait for Valentine's Day-be sure and drop big hints to your love interest or make a series of sticky notes to remind yourself to order or go by a L'Occitane retail store, like the one in Chandler Fashion Center here in Arizona.
