The Latest from Kiehl's: Superbly Restorative Argan Body Cleansing Oil.

The latest from Kiehl's is an addition to it's popular Argan collection. This one is very unique, as it is an oil, that actually turns into a creamy cleanser as you use it. Meet Kiehl’s Superbly Restorative Argan Body Cleansing Oil.

As you apply this rich, yet gentle oil to your skin, it becomes a milky treatment to cleanse and retexturize your skin. When using, you will reveal a smoother, more healthy-looking radiance. The cleansing oil is naturally-fragranced with oils of Sweet Orange, Patchouli, Eucalyptus, and Cedarwood.

A bit about Argan Oil. This oil has long been valued by generations of Moroccan women for its ability to help restore elasticity, smoothness, and moisture levels to undernourished skin. The 100% organic Argan Oil used in this cleansing formula is naturally rich in antioxidants, poly-unsaturated fatty acids, including Tocopherols (Vitamin E), and Omega-6 and Omega-9 fatty acids, which are known for having restorative and protective properties on the skin. It has also been shown to help improve skin smoothness and suppleness.

 

This oil makes a fabulous cleanser, but my favorite use for it is as a shaving cream. It lets me have a super close shave on my legs while giving my skin the smoothest finish ever.

 

The Argan Body Cleansing Oil is available now online and wherever Kiehl's is sold.

 

P.S. To be silky smooth all summer long, first use the oil and follow up with their Superbly Restorative Argan Body Lotion!

The Summer Essential Kit by Lisa Curran for Lavanila.

Are you so into summer now that it has unofficially kicked off over the weekend? I am and cannot wait for it to really warm up (why is it only 45 degrees this morning?).

This is a great set to get us all in the mood. Swim wear designer Lisa Curran and Lavanila Laboratories have joined together to create this great beauty of set and they are calling it the Summer Essential Kit by Lisa Curran for Lavanila.

This year, Lisa Curran created a lavender-themed swim wear collection that was inspired by the delicate scent of Lavanila’s new lavender line. The shade of lavender she chose is absolutely beautiful and can be worn by any skin-tone. The Summer Essential Kit includes a choice of select swimsuits from this lavender themed collection and summer must-haves from Lavanila’s Vanilla Lavender line.


The Summer Essential Kit includes:

  • One of three lavender-hued Lisa Curran swimsuits

  • A Lavanila Vanilla Lavender Healthy Lip Shine

  • A travel-sized Lavanila Vanilla Lavender Healthy Body Butter

  • A waterproof, reusable pouch (great to tote beach side essentials while keeping them safe from sand and water damage)

The Summer Essential Kit is also for a good cause...with each purchase, Lisa Curran and Lavanila are giving back to The Ocean Project. The Ocean Project is a nonprofit organization that works in partnership with aquariums, zoos, and museums around the world to protect the ocean.

 

I want it. How about you? Check out the Summer Essential Kit on lisacurran.com where it sells for $175.

Could it be Supernatural? Hourglass Waterpoof Bronzer.

Seems I have bronzers on the mind. When looking for some long-wear makeup that would hold up under extreme conditions, I came upon this Waterproof Bronzer. Actually, Supernatural Waterproof Bronzer and it is from Hourglass Cosmetics. I don't think a name could be more appropriate.

I need to try this to see how it lasts. There is nothing worse than sweating and having my face become a mess in an instant as it runs down my cheek and streaking my bronzer along the way. It is not an easy fix, either.

An extended-wear, waterproof bronzer that withstands high humidity and extreme moisture.

This bronzer, like all of the Hourglass Cosmetics line, is free of parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes and fragrances. It leaves me wondering what is actually in it that makes a powder become so resistant to water and such.

You can bet I will be investigating and reporting back on this Supernatural beauty soon. Right now, it looks to be available in just one shade called Mirage, which is said to be a matte golden tan. Stay tuned and be sure to speak up if you have tried this yet.
