Light up any occasion wearing L’Occitane’s New Pivoine Shimmering Body Oil !

The warmer seasonal weather each year usually signals the start of various social events such as proms, outdoor festivities and a variety of celebrations and social gatherings. You can be the “Belle of the Ball” at any occasion with L’Occitane’s New Pivoine Shimmering Body Oil.

L'Occatine's ~New~ Pivoine Shimmering Oil

I instantly took a liking to the subtle scent of L’Occitane’s Pivoine Floral Fragrance! “It’s influenced by the Peony, which is known as the flower of a thousand petals.” It’s so pleasant as it surrounds you with the gentle hint of a delicate summer bouquet!

Another real “selling point” for me, was the fact that it’s a dry oil and can be used on your face, body, and hair! Being a “dry” oil, you’re able to get dressed immediately after applying Pivoine Floral Oil to your body. The delicate shimmer naturally reflects the light, and in my opinion, Pivoine Floral Shimmering Oil is a product not only perfect for “Special Occasions”, but for every day use, as well!

Here are some of the ways I use my L’Occitane Pivoine Shimmering Body Oil:
• I apply the shimmering oil on any exposed neck or décolletage area during the day or evening. This not only softens that delicate area of skin, but the “shimmer” gives a pretty highlight that compliments anything you decide to wear.

• I then like to put a touch of Pivoine Shimmering Oil on my fingertips and “piece” it through the top of my hair, giving it vibrant, healthy appearance.

• I also “lightly” blend a couple dots of oil along the cheek bone area, creating that desirable “high” cheek bone effect.

Finally, you don’t want to forget to apply this light weight oil on your arms, legs, and shoulders when wearing your formal or evening wear, and sleeveless summer attire!

Enhanced with “Vitamin E, Grapeseed Oil, and Mother of Pearl”, you’ll find many uses for Pivoine Shimmering Oil from L’Occitane, and will “light” up any room you enter, whether it be a dressy evening occasion, a day at work, or a casual outing with friends!

L’Occitane Pivoine Flora Shimmering Body Oil is fun to use, good for your skin, and a very versatile product. It sells for $35, and may be purchased at : http://www.usa.loccitane.com

Soft & Silky is the Work of Orico

Unknown-65

When a friend of mine told me she was using body oil instead of conventional moisturizers like lotions to moisturize, I was quite surprised. I asked her, “Doesn’t the body oil make you feel greasy”?  “Not with the oil I am using, It’s amazing”, she said. The body oil she is referring to is Orico Rush Hour Vibrant Dry Body Oil, and she was right, it is AMAZING!

I have been using Orico Rush Hour Vibrant Dry Body Oil  before bed, and in the morning after bathing and have never had a greasy experience yet. You will not believe how quickly Orico Rush Hour Vibrant Dry Body Oil absorbs when applied to your skin. I especially like how my arms and legs feel, super silky soft. There is no greasy or oily residue, just the feeling of silky soft skin. The light mandarin fragrances makes you want to come back for more.

As stated by www.oricolondon.com/, “This rapidly absorbed, ultra-nourishing organic body oil restores and revitalizes urban-exposed skin to its sheer, silken, radiant and glowing best. Rich in vitamins, Rosehip, Macadamia and cell regenerating Baobab Oil, new Rush Hour Vibrant Dry Body Oil is the smart and fast solution for a city lifestyle. Apply and run!” 

I was very impressed to learn that Every Orico product is free from Parabens, Sulfates, DEA, TEA, PEGS, Petroleum, Propylene, Formaldehyde releasing Preservatives, Mineral Oils, Artificial Fragrances and Colors, Silicone, Glycol, 1,4-Dioxane. This is  truly remarkable and your skin is the one benefiting from this incredible brand.

Orico London has an extensive line of all-natural and organic skincare that is certified by the Ecocert Greenlife Standards, which already has a cult-like following in the UK and is now available to consumers in the U.S.!

As stated by Orico London, ” The environment is very important to the brand which is why they work with the European packaging waste legislation, a directive that aims to prevent the production of packaging waste by reduction, reuse, recycling and recovery.”

“We are proud to sponsor the World Land Trust which offers wide reaching effective help across the globe, whose patron, Sir David Attenborough is one of the world’s greatest naturalists and has been a personal inspiration to me since childhood.” – Shirin Valipour, Orico Founder

Beach Bombshell – Ouidad’s Wave Create Sea Spray

Unknown-68

I found the perfect product just in time for summer, Ouidad’s Wave Create Sea Spray.  My hair is thick and curly and it is difficult to find products that do not weigh my curls or waves down, making them look flat and greasy.  Ouidad Sea Spray is fantastic; I just flip my head and spray into sections.  When I flip my head back up, my hair is beautiful, flowing, tousled waves. The ingredients of seawater and salt create volume and texture while making hair healthier as you apply the product. Ouidad is unbelievable because usually spray is hard and sticks to my head, making my hair extremely dry. Ouidad’s Wave Create Sea Spray has a triple function, the algae extracts help to condition hair-maintaining elasticity; is rich in B12 amino acids that deeply nourish your hair. The spray literally creates gorgeous texture, while moisturizing your curls or waves.  My beauty routine for my hair this summer will consist of throwing this one product into a beach bag and I’m ready for day or night with tousled waves for the beach or beautiful ringlets for dinner by the water.  ouidad.com/

Provide Your Skin With the Goodness of the Sea

images-16

OSEA anti-aging skincare is a brilliant skincare line providing us with 100% Vegan and USDA Certified Organic Seaweed right  from the ocean straight to your fingertips. If you are looking for a skincare line that is 100% Vegan then OSEA is the skincare line you have been waiting for.  To give you a little background on OSEA, their “anti-aging skincare was inspired off the coast of Malibu, with the idea of uniting the elements—Ocean, Sun, Earth and Atmosphere–to refresh, rejuvenate, and restore skin to its highest level of healthy beauty”.

OSEA, made with certified organic seaweed,  features  marine-based products that are packed with vitimins, minerals and essential fatty acids taken from the earth and sea. OSEA‘s organic skincare line consists of anti-aging serums, algae masks and moisturizers, in addition to organic body lotion, algae oil, and body scrubs.

I have used OSEA skincare in the past and I had so much sucess with Backnea that I have added two more products to my OSEA Skincare Collection and  OSEA White Algae Mask is one of them.  This is a  fabulous mask which,  if  used 2 to 3 times a week, will brighten, tighten and hydrate your skin.  Try applying the mask and leaving it on overnight for added brightening and tightening. The mask is like a thin silky fast drying claywhich easily rinse soff (a very important fact to know when selecting a face mask).  OSEA White Alge Mask is especially helpful in calming irritations or for those sensitive skin or Rosacea sufferers.   Your skin will truly benifit from the unique combination of  calcium rich white algea, Copper, Manganese and Zinc Peptides, White Wine Extracts and White Tea.

One of my favorite OSEA Skincare products is the Salts of the Earth Scrub. Salts of the Earth Scrub can be used on your entire body, helping to soften, heal and rehydrate dry skin. “Certified Organic botanical oils and aromatic mineral salts plump up the skin, enticing it to soak up nutrients and look more youthful“.

Salts of the Earth Scrub has done wonders for my hands especially when I am not using gloves while gardening. All my hands need is a little bit of Salts of the Earth Scrub and my hands are back to looking soft, polished and healthy. Treat your skin to the goodness of the sea with OSEA.http://www.oseamalibu.com/
