Can't Live Without My Lipstick

In celebration of BURT'S BEES 25th Anniversary, the good folks there are giving away 25,000 of their well-loved Beeswax Lip Balm . Everyday for 25 days, they'll be giving away 1000 (in the form of a coupon). Today's giveaway has not yet occurred (sometime between the hours of 9am-12pm EST). So, you still have 24 days to get yours! Buzz here to try and win yours! Also, in honor of their anniversary, if you don't win one, for every $25 you spend, you'll receive a free Beeswax Lip Balm.

I've been using KATE SOMERVILLE's Purify Exfoliating Cleanser for a little over a week now, and I can already see a difference. This foaming gel cleanser is for normal to oily skin, and my pores are, thankfully, clearer. I like it because my skin feels really clean, but I don't get that tight-face feeling afterwards. And it's very refreshing - it contains peppermint and rosemary extracts (natural antiseptics) - a great pick-me-up first thing in the morning! It uses salicylic and lactic acids to naturally exfoliate - that means no exfolitating beads, in case you're looking for them. It's a little pricey (for me at least, for a cleanser), $32 for 4oz., but when I find something that works, I'll pay.

I just wanted to wish all you beautiful mommies out there a very Happy Mother's Day!!!

I just received a sample today of DOVE Ultimate Visibly Smooth Wild Rose Anti-Perspiring/Deodorant that will be appearing on store shelves this month. DOVE claims that this new product will help women feel stubble free for longer, and with regular use, it will minimize the visual appearance of hair over time. Uh, to me that's a lot of jibber-jabber meaning that Dove is not going to claim this new deodorant actually STOPS hair from growing, but only makes it look like it's not growing. But that's cool, I suppose, because I do want to to look like I don't have hairy underarms. Anyway, DOVE says it works by using a unique, new formula called Pro Epil Complex. Within weeks, you’ll start to notice that your underarm hair feels, soft, fine and is easier to remove. Now, since I've only just received it, I can't possibly review it for at least a week, probably more in order to see if it really lives up to its promise, but since we're coming into warmer weather, ...
