Product Review: Breakfast in Bed by Philosophy
Philosophy always likes to create fun beauty products. Some I like more than others, but I find that they make great gifts because there are so many themes to choose from. One of its latest launches is a group of three sugary, breakfast-inspired bath and body washes called Breakfast in Bed ($30).
BellaSugar's Guide to Strawberry Beauty Products
Sweet and juicy bath and body products are a real weakness for me, and in particular, I'm a sucker for all things strawberry. My bathroom is filled with scrubs, lotions, lip balms — you name it and I'm addicted. Check out this roundup of strawberry beauty treats; four of the posts are product driven and the last is a D.I.Y exfoliator which is inexpensive, effective and easy to make.
Succulent Strawberry Scrubs
Having these grainy and sweet body scrubs in the bath and shower is just asking for trouble. After just one whiff, I'll never want to get out. For those of you who want to take a break from the doldrums of January and indulge in a summertime treat, here are three succulent scrubs that'll do the trick.
Bellissima! TePe Tongue Detox
This new Tongue Detox Device from Tepe ($9.18) is all the rage in Europe and l've finally been able to find an online retailer that will ship it to America. When I first read about it, it reminded me a lot of the Breath Rx anti-bacterial tongue spray and tongue scraper, and as I researched it more and more, I came upon a dozen or so tongue devices created to kill bacteria and scrape away the white scummy film that causes bacteria build-up and bad breath.
Who knew this was such a diverse market?
Life-Saver Shavers For Sensitive Skin
For those of you who have sensitive skin, most likely your face isn't the only part of your body that suffers from redness and reactions. I find that if I'm not careful about changing my razor blade frequently, or if I don't use ample amounts of lubrication such as shaving cream or moisturizing body washes, my legs, underarms and even bikini area often burned and become pink and swollen. Here are a few of my favorite sensitive skin shavers that have helped tremendously reduce inflammation and irritation — hopefully they'll be able to help you too.
Bella Brand: Gosh Cosmetics
I've just found out about a Danish brand of makeup, skin care, fragrance, and bath and body products called Gosh Cosmetics. It's new to me, but it's been available for 25 years, with products now retailing in more than 60 countries. While the family-owned business began in 1945 as a pharmaceutical company, in the late '70s it shifted production into toiletries.
DIY Spa Treatment: Thanksgiving-Inspired Body Scrub
You've gone out and bought all of these fresh ingredients for Thanksgiving dinner, but you've still got some leftovers lying around. Instead of watching them go bad or killing yourself trying to concoct a makeshift meal with minimal groceries, indulge your body and pamper your senses with this fresh and yummy Thanksgiving-inspired body scrub. It's really easy to make — and now your insides and your outsides can savor the goodness of comfort food!
Bella Brand: de~luxe
If you've heard of this brand before, it's because it was a cult favorite of beauty shoppers until a year ago. At that time, both retail store and online stock was running extremely low, so the company decided to take a year-long hiatus and ramp up production.
Now de~luxe is back and it's even better than before.
Think Pink: Philosophy Shower For The Cure
Philosophy Shower For The Cure ($20) is a real bang for the buck! This rich, creamy gel can be used as a shampoo, shower gel or bubble bath. It is made from milk proteins and fruit essences that moisturize, cleanse and keeps the skin supple while providing a pleasant, fresh scent.
