I’m not a huge perfume wearer – and when I do wear a fragrance, it’s usually a single-note.  So when I got sent a sample of Liz Earle Naturally Active Skincare Botanical Essence #1, I didn’t try it for a couple of weeks. But it’s one of those days that I am especially attracted to fruity things (currently gingerly typing this with wet papaya colored nails), so I thought I’d try out the citrus-top noted scent.

I really like it. It is indeed a complex scent – almost as if the notes were slowly opening and blending into each other before each becomes a distinct scent. It’s sophisticated while not being overpowering by any means. And as a bonus, I really like how the scent blends with the citrus scent of Oscar Blandi Pronto Gloss Instant Glossing Cream - complimentary but not competing.

Liz Earle Naturally Active Skincare Botanical Essence #1 will be available this summer and you can sign up on the Liz Earle website to be notified when it’s available!

Freebieville.com tipped us off to this amazing free sample at Sephora today – check it out:

One of Sephora’s free beauty samples with purchase today  is a Brazilian Peel Professional Strength Glycolic Acai Anti-Oxidant Facial Treatment – 0.162 oz, a $19.50 value! (the full size Brazilian Peel Brazilian Peel™ 4 Applications retails is $78, this sample has 1 application). No coupon code needed, click here for this free Sephora sample. These samples run out quickly, so if you want it, grab it soon.

Brazilian Peel is the  first medical-strength peel for at-home use, Advanced Home Actives’ Brazilian Peel innovative formula contains rejuvenating glycolic acid and açai, a natural antioxidant straight from Brazil’s Amazon rainforest. The powerful combination safely provides you with results similar to those from a professional chemical peel—without the painful side effects.

Thanks to the good folks at Freebieville for letting us know about this! I saw this is Allure magazine a couple of months ago and have been watching it since.

I am perpetually attracted to the colors of the Shine Blast Lipgloss line, but heard that the lipgloss was sticky, so I held off trying it. But I’m glad I got sent one to review - this gloss is amazing.

First off – this is probably the least sticky lip gloss I’ve gotten to try  in quite some time. As in, if your hair blows in your face, it won’t get stuck in this gloss.

The amount of color it distributes is absolutely amazing. One coat is a nice juicy slick, two is a beautiful sheer color. I tried Sparkler, a beautiful pink. It is absolutely fantastic on its’ own, and goes perfectly over Liptini Framboise. I’ve been wearing two-three coats on a bare lip on the especially hot days of late, and it doesn’t feel too heavy in the least (and my lips stay moist!)

And as a bonus, it tastes like watermelon!

This is a great line, and I plan on purchasing other shades. I was looking at the display today at Walgreens, and they all seemed like universally flattering shades!

‘Tini Beauty’s Ruby Haze Topper Gloss is another one of the colors available at Hautelook.com today for $8.00. It’s delicate and adds a really nice hint of pink – nice and fruity for summer. (Right after I swatched the color I was talking to Style Chick Lyn and she stops mid-sentance to ask what lip color I’m wearing…)

Tini Beauty’s Champagne Topper Gloss is one of the colors available at Hautelook.com today for $8.00 - so I thought I’d swatch it for you. It’s a beautiful pinky-champage that looks great on it’s own (pictured) or over a stain. It’s light without looking washed out.
