New Beauty Products via http://www.bloom.com/invite/72078 BLOOM is the hottest new social beauty site! Pacifica Vanilla Roll on Scent: I am not a fan. Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange Body Butter: So I was hesitant to try out this product. As I have mentioned before, my days of wearing heavy perfumed lotions are gone. I really like light, airy scents in comparison to the heavy perfumes. However, I have to say, I actually liked this one. The scent isnt overpowering and it reminds me of summer and citrus. Its a titch to heavy, however, after about 20 minutes, it wears down. The actual lotion is ridiculously moisturizing. I work in a hospital setting most of the time so my skin is dry, dry, dry. One application of this stuff, my hands felt like a baby's bottom. If you like perfumed, really moisturizing lotions, this is one that you have to check out. Not to mention the brand is 100% vegan! Good for you too! Pacifica Indian Coconut Nectar Body Butter: I love the moisturizing part of this lotion, however, the scent is overpowering and reminds me of suntan lotion. Pacifica is a GREAT brand if you are looking for a natural product that can moisturize well. This scent is overpowering and I can only use it when I am going to the pool or beach. Otherwise, I just feel like I smell like tanning lotion. To be honest, I wore it one night for a GNO at my friend's place and she was like, did you go tanning? HA, I was like no, its this new lotion I am trying out. Again, if you love this scent, this is for you. I unfortunately do not love this scent Pacifica Coconut & Pearls Bronzing Body Butter: I really want to give this one 3.5 stars...cant you give a girl a half?? Anyway, like I have stated in the past...this lotion is really good at moisturizing. Not to mention 100% vegan so you know that you are putting a great product on your skin. I am not crazy about this fragrance. I am not really a fan of vanilla or coconut. It smells like tanning lotion to me...HOWEVER, I do wear this to the pool or beach for a shimmery glow that gives me a great sun kissed look without makeup. Not to mention, the smell doesnt bother me because I have already put on suntan lotion. Also, a little bronzer does wonders for drab skin :) Pacifica Color Quench All Natural Lip Tint: I tried the blood orange lip tint and the coconut nectar one. Both of them felt dry and cakey going on my lips. They did not feel moisturizing at all. I actually put my normal lip gloss/balm over the top to give it a more moisturizing feel. I did like the little bit of tint that the blood orange provided. It looks super dark in the tube, however, it is light going on. The coconut nectar was very glittery and I just felt like a 5 year old that got into her mom's make up with white, glittery lips. I had to wipe it off immediately. Also, I would have liked to have some sort of SPF in the lip tint, however there is none. I probably won't recommend or buy this product. Booty Parlor Flirty Little Secret Bronze Edition - Firming Bronzer with Phermones: LADIES, YEAH HEY LADIES! This is the product that you will LOVE! I love it! Its perfect for a night out. So I normally do a variation of a tan towel to give myself a glow. This takes some time because you have to apply the night before, hope that you dont turn out splotchy, smell like tanning lotion and wait to shower. HASSLE!!!!! No longer do I have to plan ahead! This great lotion is put on right before you go out. It gives you a fantastic sun kissed glow with a slight shimmer, but not too much where you look like a Spice Girl. I even use it on my cheeks after I apply my makeup for a sun kissed glow on my face! The great thing is, it washes off! If you apply too much where you look like someone from Jersey Shore, you can just keep rubbing it in and it blends fantastically. Now as far as the firming/phermones go, I am not sure about that, however, I think a little bit of a tan makes everything look tighter and more attractive. Kaia Bamboo Facial Cleansing Cloths: So I have to do in house call in a hospital a lot. I always wear make up to work, however, I hate having to go and wash my face in the middle of the night. I have tried SEVERAL brands of the make up wipes. These are a godsend! I love them! They remove everything. I wear decently heavy eye makeup which is always the devil for these types of cloths. With Kaia, there was no problem removing my eye makeup. AND my eyes can get really sensitive with some of the other products...not with this one. I loved this fresh, clean scent of these and my skin felt moisturized right after I used the wipe. What's not to love about that. I am planning on taking some pictures of before and after soon so be on the look out. This product is great if you are on the go.
