Ooo La Rose!

L’Occitane en Provence encourages you to smell the roses!  L’Occitane launched a NEW Limited Edition Collection; Rose Aurore. I have been carrying this in my purse for the past 2.5 years. It was a gift from my former employer and I haven’t been able to live without it. Since I was already so in love with L’Occitane, I jumped at the chance to try one of their new products. I have been using the Rose Aurore Radiant Hand Cream for the past few weeks and am smitten. What I adore about L’Occitane hand creams is how decadent they are. It’s hard to not feel like Kate Middleton when it glides over your hands like silk. Only a pea-sized amount is needed, so a little bit goes a long way.

If you have a sensitive nose this may not be the product for you. I personally love it. It’s the next best thing to a gorgeous array of roses given by a loved one. The scent is bright and refreshing, and is the essence of spring! The bouquet lingers on your hands long after it has  been applied and keeps them feeling soft.

These products won’t be around for long so run skip into your local L’Occitane location or purchase it online before they’ve all been picked!

The L’OCCITANE Rose Aurore assortment includes:

Radiant Hand Cream ($12): Enriched with Shea Butter, Rose Extract and Vitamin E that enhances skin’s beauty, this cream gives a touch of radiance to the hands and leaves them soft, moisturized and fragrant.

 

Hand cream

Radiant Lip Gloss ($12): A translucent gloss that moisturizes the lips with a natural, pink, subtle shimmer.

smell the roeses

And for all of you who are curious…

 

Cheers!

New Beauty Writer

Hello Fashionable Gal readers!

My name is Kayla and I am a new contributing beauty writer for Fashionable Media. I love finding out about new products through friends I trust, and I hope to be that person for you. Here are some things you need to know about me: I’m a classics girl. I don’t usually jump on the trend train. Maybe it’s because I’m boring, or lack courage like some of you readers, but I like to think it’s because I’m just trying to channel my inner Chanel. I try to adhere to the fashion rules of the French. I’m also pretty simplistic in my makeup endeavors. I never leave the house without curling my lashes and applying  mascara, but I have yet to try a smokey eye. If there is one thing I learned from my grandmother, it’s to always have red lipstick and red accessories on hand. That woman was the Queen of red shoes, red purses, and leaving behind red kisses. I try to use products that are as natural as possible. Sometimes I even make my own concoctions with items from my kitchen. Strawberry Brown Sugar Scrub anyone? I am also a full-time graduate student, so money and time savers are at the top of my list. I’m excited to share the products I’ve been using lately. Keep your eyes open for my upcoming reviews. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask!

Cheers!

Kayla



Olay CC Cream

I’ve been using the Olay CC Cream (for light and fair skin) over the past few weeks and I totally love it. Their new collection is a all-in-one formula that combines a daily anti-aging moisturizer, SPF 15 sunscreen and sheer tint for younger-looking skin.

I really love how the cream provides instant coverage and correction to fight uneven skin tone, spots, and signs of early aging signs. When they say total coverage? They do mean it. My skin looks amazing everytime I use the Olay CC cream.

To be honest, I’m not a huge fan of foundation. I know it’s important, but personally I find that it clogs my pores and I’m just not a fan. I’ve been using the Olay Total Effects as a base moisturizer before I go about the rest of my routine and it makes SUCH a difference.

It’s just so lightweight and not greasy at all. And like I said, the coverage? Amazing. I love how soft my skin feels and how glowing it looks after every use.

You can find the Olay CC Cream online and at stores nationwide.

Honey I’m Strong Herbal Essence Collection

Winter left my hair feeling ready for a change. I was thrilled to test out the all new Honey I’m Strong Herbal Essence Collection. It was formulated with women who have damaged hair in mind and let me tell you, it works wonders.

I can’t even begin to describe how soft and smooth my hair feels from using these products for several weeks. The rinse off treatment is quite literally the best hair mask I have ever used. The damaged ends I had from winter are gone thanks to a new haircut and a few continual uses of the treatment. After just one wash my hair looked silky smooth.

Your hair will be ten times stronger in just one wash with the entire collection. Herbal Essence worked hard at creating a collection for damaged hair that actually works. It smells amazing too. I really don’t even know how to describe the smell, it’s just a light slightly sweet scent.

The shampoo and conditioner are both equally amazing. My hair has never looked more full of life.

I love that none of the products weigh it down when the proper amount is used. My hair has a natural wave to it and instead of hiding it, the Honey I’m Strong collection brings them to life. I’m so pleased with how amazing this collection is and encourage you to check it out.

The Honey I’m Strong collection from Herbal Essence is available at stores nationwide.

No! No! Hair Removal

April 24th, 2013 by Belle

no Shaving is the bane of my existence and I can’t stand waxing. Appointments for hair removal is way out of my budget and schedule with school.

Of course, you can always try endless hair removal creams. But in my experience they rarely work and end up leaving you with a nasty rash or allergic reaction. Not to mention the horrible chemical smell and how they leave your skin feeling rough and not any smoother than before.

Plus what busy gal wants to keep using creams and waxing products every single week? This is why http://nonohairtv.com/ is a great alternative to annoying and painful creams.

nono.jp

What is no!no!? It’s a cordless at home hair removal system for men or women. Your skin tone or hair type doesn’t matter at all. You’ll be able to go weeks without shaving and your hair regrowth will also slow down with continuous use. Plus? It’s completely pain free. You can use it anytime or anywhere.

Basically, no!no! is a light based hair removal system that removes hair easily and quickly. It’s not a miracle cure, you’ll still have hair, but it’s cheaper than laser hair removal and far more convenient than waxing. Reviewers are saying that it even works better than laser hair removal.

If you aren’t happy with your no!no! you can return it for a complete refund and you don’t even have to pay for shipping and handling. No! No! Hair removal is completely risk free and who wouldn’t want a chance to quit waxing and using painful hair removal cream?

Just in time for the warmer weather Olay has a brand new line of skin care products called Olay Fresh Effects. Women all over the country are raving about this new (and pretty amazing) line of SEVEN new products.

If you are like me then winter did a number on your skin. The Fresh Effects line has everything from cleansers to refreshing makeup removing cloths. They have creams for every skin tone. As well as a cleansing system that has everyone gushing over the wonderful job it does.

olay2

I tried the Olay Fresh Effects Shine Minimizing Cleanser. And it’s become one of my favorite cleansers. It leaves my skin feeling like I had a mask treatment on it, BUT without the mess. I’ve been using it for a few weeks and my skin has never looked better. It’s soft, glowing, and all traces of winter’s wear and tear is gone.

The entire Olay Fresh Effects line is available online here and at all major stores nationwide including Walmart, Target, Walgreens, and CVS.



Ocean Spray Body Wash from Tone

First off, I love Tone body wash. They are one of the few body wash brands that I trust. So many others end up drying out my skin, having a fake and rather nasty smell, or just not working for me. So I was thrilled I had a chance to try the new Ocean Therapy Body Wash from Tone!

The new body wash contains deep sea extracts (sea kelp) and pear essence with Vitamin E. Not only does it smell good, but it’s also good for you too!

I’m completely and utterly in love with this new body wash. As I expected, it left my skin feeling silky soft and replenished. My legs feel so dang smooth! (I’m not so secretly hoping Tone will release a shaving cream at some point. Because that would be freakin awesome) Actually, my overall skin feels like silk.

The scent is amazing. It’s relaxing and smells like the ocean with a slight fruity/tropical hint that I adore.

The new Ocean Spray Body Wash from Tone is available at all major retailers nationwide.

I’m so glad that warmer weather is finally here. I was beginning to think that it would never come. I mean, who wants boring winter when they can have the bright color and fresh trends of spring?

Speaking of which, with spring comes an all new (and pretty freakin awesome) beginning of a new line from Yes To! Except, this time around? They’ve introduced grapefruit to the Yes To! family. I’m in love.

Yes to Grapefruit Exfoliating Body Wash
I utterly adore this body wash. It has an almost rough feeling to it that is so nice to cleanse your skin with. I especially love how it naturally smoothes and tightens your skin. I mainly used it on my legs and mama mia, they looked amazing! The smell is divine as well. When they say tropical? They mean tropical.

yes1

Yes to Grapefruit Dark Spot Correcting Body Crème I have some spots on my hands and I’m pleased to say that the use of this cream over the past few weeks have faded them a ton. I completely forgot to take a picture of them for y’all, but I really do feel like my hands are so much smoother and creamier. I love how natural and smooth this hand cream is. You don’t need to use alot at all and it’s mostly grease free.

I’m so happy with the new Yes To! Grapefruit line. Be sure to check out the rest of Yes To’s products at: http://www.yestocarrots.com/
