lavanila body butter review

Pictured: body butter c/o LaVanila. Review of LaVanila Body Butter in fresh vanilla lemon

One of my favorite perfumes is LaVanila. When I found out they also made a body butter, I was thrilled! The fabulous thing about LaVanila’s products isn’t just the amazing scent offerings, it is the fact that their products are made from organic ingredients, and not harsh chemicals. Love that!

As a Mother of three, I care a little bit about what I put on my skin, but it is the skin of my children I care A LOT about. This means that I need to be extra careful with their skin since they are young, and what I do to their skin now will last a lifetime.

Summer is upon us, and living in Northern California means my kids will have plenty of outdoor time now, and throughout the summer months. Their skin will take a beating from sun, sticky sunblocks, chlorinated pools, the beach, and more. After they take a bath or shower, I want to be able to nourish their skin, and mine, with something free of harsh chemicals, and made from organic ingredients. I am so happy to be able to use LaVanila Body Butter on their skin!

Not only is the LaVanila Body Butter made from organic ingredients free of harsh chemicals, it actually works to hydrate skin; love that! We all end up with well-nourished skin after using it; especially after a day in the sun or the pool when our skin gets visibly dry.

I am quickly going through my LaVanila Body Butter in fresh vanilla lemon, so when I replace it, I want to try out one of the other scents. They all sound so good! I think vanilla coconut is calling my name to try next; doesn’t it sound perfect for summer!!

You can find LaVanila Body Butter online here. Which scent do you plan to get?

L’Oreal Paris Ever Hair Care collection review

From top left: hair products c/o L’Oreal Paris: L’Oreal Paris Ever Fresh Micro-Exfoliating Scrub / L’Oreal Paris Ever Pure Moisture / L’Oreal Paris Ever Creme Deep Nourishing / L’Oreal Paris Ever Pure Volume / L’Oreal Paris Ever Creme Nourishing Butter / L’Oreal Paris Ever Fresh Anti-Dandruff

I am so excited to talk about the L’Oreal Paris Ever Hair Care Collection with you! This collection features a hair care product for every type of hair; which is so amazing! The collection is made from botanical ingredients, and is 100% sulfate-free, dye free, paraben free, vegan, and gentle on color treated hair. Love!

So my teenage daughter will get really mad that I am writing this, but, in order to give a proper review, I need to let you know what works! My adorable teenager has dandruff, so she has been testing out the L’Oreal Paris Ever Fresh Anti-Dandruff shampoo and conditioner. She washes and blowdries her hair everyday; without any heat protective product. Her hair takes a daily beating, so dandruff has been a problem. She has been using the L’Oreal Paris Ever Fresh Anti-Dandruff shampoo and conditioner for about two weeks now, and she loves it! It has eliminated her dandruff problem, and her hair remains well-moisturized, without any film. She loves it!

My middle daughter has fine, curly hair. She loves to make sure her curls are in ringlets, yet has volume. If her hair looks flat, she rewashes it! I gave her the L’Oreal Paris Ever Pure Volume shampoo and conditioner to test out. Her curls are staying bouncy, and her hair is fluffy with volume. She is very happy with this shampoo and conditioner! So if you are looking for volume, this works!

My hair tends to be dry from continual use of a flat iron and blow dryer. Since I need moisture, not oil, added to my hair, I decided to test out the L’Oreal Paris Pure Moisture Shampoo and conditioner. It does the job without leaving my hair with an oily film. Love it!

I have a feeling the Ever Creme collection will come in handy this summer when  my whole family has dry hair from the pool, and the beach. Since the L’Oreal Paris Ever Hair Care Collection is free of parabens, dyes, and sulfates, I feel confident letting my kids use it on their hair.

This is a great collection of hair care products, all affordably priced! Love that! You can find the collection available to shop online by clicking on the photos in the widget below. I would love hear what you think of this collection!

Estee Lauder Pure Color Love lipstick collection review

estee lauder pure color love lipstick review

Estee Lauder’s has a fabulous new lipstick collection! The Pure Color Love lipstick collection by Estee Lauder is absolutely amazing. The collection offers thirty beautiful shades ranging from classic buff to on-trend blue. There is something for everyone in the new Estee Lauder Pure Color Love lipstick collection! Love that!

I have been a huge fan of Estee Lauder since I was a child. It was always my Mom’s favorite cosmetics brand, so when I stole makeup from my Mom’s bathroom in my high school days, it was always Estee Lauder. It’s OK though, last time I bought an Estee Lauder lipstick she stole it from me; and that was last summer!

Let’s get back to the new Estee Lauder Pure Color Love lipstick collection shall we? There is a large range of buff hues, pinks, purples, and avant-garde blues in the new collection. If you are looking for daytime, nighttime, party, or office-appropriate colors, there is something in this collection for your event, day, or mood. Love!

The lipsticks in Estee Lauder’s Pure Color Love collection offer long-lasting color which feels weightless. Nothing is more annoying then sticky, heavy lipstick you want to rub off. This is not that lipstick! It is so comfortable, and the color is even; no streaks! It applies smoothly, without creating any mess. Love that!

My two favorite colors are both matte lipsticks. I love “Blase Buff” for a subtle lip color, and “Proven Innocent” for a flirty pink lip. You can see my two favorite colors below:

Estee Lauder Pure Coloe Love Blase Buff lipstick

This is Blase Buff from the Estee lauder Pure Color Love lipstick collection. It is the perfect buff hue to wear daily. It is also great for travel since it goes with everything! This is just a great basic lipstick color, I am in love!

Estee Lauder Pure Color Love lipstick in Proven Innocent

Proven Innocent by Estee Lauder is a fun and flirty pink color. This is perfect for the spring and summer. I love pink lipstick! Estee Lauder Proven Innocent lipstick is perfect to wear during the day or at night. I can wear this anytime. Love!

There are thirty colors in the new Estee Lauder Pure Coloe Love lipstick collection. Which one is your favorite?

The Estee Lauder Pure Color Love lipstick collection can be found exclusively online here.
