Patyka 100% Organic Shea Butter

All Shea Butter!

Organic to boot.

Very nice, but it took me a few minutes to figure it out.

Little tub of solid Shea Butter, you need to scrape some out, then it melts in your hand & is ever-so softening!

I really like it for my legs!

Patyka Shower Scrub

Lime

Excellent, gentle scrub.

Didn't feel like using it was punishment, but left skin soft & glowy!

Even de-scaled my elbows.

The Lime smell is outstanding.

Real lime, not overpowering.

February is Heart Health Month!!!

Your heart is important--take care of it, for goodness sake!

Being healthy contributes immensely to being beautiful, as well as to feeling beautiful, and it is the smart thing to do.

You know the drill: Eat right, Exercise (Hey, if I can work out, you certainly can!), get regular check-ups (dental, too). Spread the word & the good health! Don't waste all those anti-aging products by not growing old.

Emmett Cooper Haircare Colour Support Wash (shampoo)

From BrownSquared:

My husband and I do everything together. Luckily, he is blonde, and I am brunette at the moment, so we were able to try both varieties of this product. 

He said: If you can get over the fact that this stuff is purple, it's a really great shampoo. I hate going to the salon, so I was pumped about having my highlights last a little longer. It not only made them stick around a while, but made them more noticeable. I'd use this again. And again. 

She said: The first few days I used the Brunette Shampoo, I had at least four women at work ask me if I colored my hair again. It gave my blonde-dyed-brown hair a color boost, which is awesome, since I'm addicted to constantly coloring my hair. I'd use this regularly to stretch out salon visits.

3 LAB Perfect Mask

This mask promises to lift, firm, and brighten your skin, and it does just that. I found the process a bit uncomforatble though. You unfold the mask and lay it on your face then pat until centered. Easy enough, but its a bit heavy and unless you can lay still for 10 minutes it slips down quite a bit. I personally have to work these things in to my busy day so I would have prefered using a mask that allows me to go about my tasks. This mask made that dificult. On the upside, my skin did feel great after, and had a nice healthy glow.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Rockstar

Click Here

The color is a purple-brown. Glides on smooth and stays creamy for a just a bit then dries and totally stays put. I usually get that line on my eyelid mimicking the liner but NEVER when I wear this. This is a great eye pencil. And it's waterproof. So lovely!

Color: Ransom
I agree! Glides on smoothly without a lot of effort. Ransom is a lovely shade of purple. Dark enough not to be too obvious. Love the fact that it is waterproof!
