Niven Morgan creates luxurious, fragrant skin care for men which offers masculine scents and optimum results. The summer 2013 collection includes bath products, body lotion, hand cream, cologne and home fragrances. Rob tested out the body lotion, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand cream, hand lotion and body wash from three of Niven Morgan’s fragrance groups. The results were amazing!

Rob works out and plays a lot of tennis; as a result, his hands get dry easily. To combat his dry hands, Rob tested out Niven Morgan’s “Jean Baptiste 1717” hand lotion and also Niven Morgan’s “Gold” hand cream. He tested the two hand products on different days, and they both did wonders for his hands! Love that!

Rob has fine, slightly wavy hair. He tested out Niven Morgan’s “Blue” shampoo and conditioner. Normally, conditioner make his hair look instantly greasy, but not Niven Morgan’s! This conditioner softened his hair without adding weight or leaving a film. The shampoo worked perfectly too, it left his hair squeaky clean!

For the body lotion, Rob tested out Niven Morgan’s “Blue” body lotion. The lotion worked well and left his skin moisturized after a day outside in the sun playing tennis. He also enjoyed using Niven Morgan’s “Blue”body wash in the shower. The body wash has a nice fragrance and left his skin squeaky clean. Perfect!

Niven Morgan’s “Jean Baptiste 1717” collection features fragrance notes of Water hyancinth, jasmine, tuberose, wild rose, princess lily, caramel, creamy vanilla, rich woods and warm patchouli. The result is a warm, slightly gourmand yet masculine fragrance experience perfect for cool or moderate weather; and foggy Bay Area days!

The “Gold” collection by Niven Morgan offers warm, woody fragrance experience with notes of vanilla, amber, neroli, bergamot, sandalwood and musk. This fragrance works well in moderate to warm weather and offers a luxurious scent.

Lastly, the “Blue” fragrance collection for men by Niven Morgan combines cool and spicy fragrance notes of amber, sandalwood, lemon, mandarin and bergamot. This is the perfect fragrance experience for warm and hot weather.

Rob rates the Niven Morgan summer 2013 fragrance collection for men five out of five stars! (tested and reviewed by Rob, written by Cathy)

Laura Mercier Ambre Vanille body cream review

Laura Mercier has a new fragrance for the fall season which has been added to her line of body products this month; the new scent is warm “Ambre Vanille!” Ambre Vanille is perfect for the fall season as it combines warm woods, florals and sweet vanilla to create a warm and cozy fragrance expereience for the moderate to cool weather found in autumn. Ambre Vanille by Laura Mercier also happens to contain Fall’s ultimate “HipNote” of sandalwood. Love this!

Base notes: vanilla beans, brown sugar, sandalwood

Laura Mercier’s new fragrance Ambre Vanille is available at Sephora.com in a honey bath soap at $40, a bath scrub priced at $46 and a body cream priced at $55.
I tested out the Body Cream and it was A-MA-ZING! As is always the case with Laura Mercier’s body cream, the Ambre Vanille body cream is moisturing without leaving a greasy film and locks in your skin’s moisture. As someone who has sworn by Laura Mercie’s body creams for the past ten years, I am in love with this new scent! Ambre Vanille is a must try.
I rate Laura Mercier’s Ambre Vanille body cream five out of five stars!

Laura Mercier’s Ambre Vanille can be found online at Sephora.com and at Laura Mercier counters.
