Pure Plant Spa Sulfate-Free Body Wash Review:

An exceptionally gentle body wash that does not contain harsh sulfate surfactants. Made with certified organic botanical extracts, plant-derived ingredients and essential oils for daily health and well-being. Natural ingredients may have color variations. Packed with nourishing antioxidants to leave skin sparkling clean, hydrated and healthy. It's luxuriously rich lather is deliciously infused with pure essential oils for a softly scented and silky smooth finish.

This was a nice body wash. It smelled nice - light and spa-like, in a way. It did have a nice lather, which was unexpected seeing as how it's sulfate free. Overall, another great product from Pure Plant Spa that I'd recommend checking out!

Pure Plant Spa Aromatic Body Lotion Plus Review:

A nourishing vitamin-rich, bioactive body lotion made with certified organic botanical extracts, plant derived ingredients and extraordinary essential oil aromas. Absorbs instantly to leave skin comfortably smooth with a healthy glow. Made in small batches with good intentions for good health to help start each day with renewed passion for life. All natural, vegan, no animal testing.

I liked this body lotion; it did absorb into my skin very nicely and my skin felt soft and smooth afterwards. The scent was nice and light; nothing over powering or bothersome. I love the pump-top applicator, which is a favorite for me because it's just easier than having to pick up a tube when your hands are already usually covered in lotion (or is that just me, lol). Overall, a great product made with good-for-you ingredients that I'd recommend!

Pure Plant Spa Ginger + Vanilla Creamy Salt Scrub & Extra Moisture Cream - pics, review

Hello, Beautiful!

I've fallen in love with the Pure Plant Spa line of products. I can't find anything bad to say about them, so if I had to say something "bad" I'd say I wish they had more scents to choose from (maybe a mango pineapple - yum!). There. That's all the bad I can say, lol. I don't know why, but their products are just really nice to use - very relaxing and luxurious. I like their Ginger + Vanilla scent the best so far, which is a warm scent; for those of us that don't like floral scents you'll like this one. In this post I'll show you the Shea Butter Creamy Salt Scrub (which is super creamy - hence the name) and their Extra Rich Shea Butter Moisture Cream (which is a perfect follow up to the scrub).

Pure Plant Spa Shea Butter Creamy Salt Scrub Review:

All-natural, rich and buttery body scrub gently exfoliates, softens and leaves your skin moisturized, renewed and glowing. Truly pure - no synthetic chemicals, no artificial fragrances, and no preservatives - so keep this container away from extreme heat to protect it. Because it's all natural, and the way its made in batches, the color of this scrub may vary from a cream to a buttercream yellow. All natural, vegan, no animal testing.

They named this scrub appropriately; it's very creamy! One of the creamiest scrubs I've ever used. It's still very effective as a scrub, even on the rough parts of my body (knees, elbows, heels). It feels good going on and afterwards my skin feels super soft! I love this and yes, would recommend!

Pure Plant Spa Extra Rich Shea Butter Moisture Cream Review:

This highly nourishing, luxuriously rich body cream softens and moisturizes with organic plant oils for healthy, glowing skin. Powerful anti-aging antioxidants and vitamins protect against environmental damage and help to repair dry skin. Truly pure - never any artificial fragrances, petrochemicals or paraben preservatives. Made only with the highest quality, natural, organic nutrients. All natural, vegan, no animal testing.

This cream was a perfect follow up to the body scrub. It felt very rich, yet lightweight, and absorbed into my skin so beautifully -  melting in! It made my skin silky soft, smooth and hydrated all day, even my extremely dry legs that have been suffering from all the colder temps from winter. A little goes a long way, so that was nice too! Overall, I loved it and would recommend it!

Green Grab Bag - February 2012

Hello, Beautiful!

Have you heard of Green Grab Bag? It's another monthly beauty sampling program, with a focus on the best natural, organic and vegan skin, hair, makeup, fragrance and more -- all for $15 a month with free shipping. This is my first Green Grab Bag and I'm really impressed. You get a really great value, at least this bag was, and a great selection of products/brands to try out. I also like that there is a coupon code for everything in your bag, so if you do want to purchase more from the brand (not just that item, but anything they offer - as most coupon codes are good on the entire purchase), you'll get a discount. Check out everything I received in the photos below.

For more information on Green Grab Bag, or to sign up and start receiving your own Green Grab Bag each month, CLICK HERE. $15 per month, or sign up for a year and save 20% ($145 for a year).

Now I'll break it down, product-by-product...

VAPOUR ORGANIC BEAUTY Aura Multi Use Blush in Spark

• DESCRIPTION ON INFO CARD: This product wasn't listed on my info card, I'm happy to have this item because the value alone pays for the entire grab bag, and then some!
• MY THOUGHTS: This is a full sized product - which is great to receive in my first Green Grab Bag. I'm new to the Vapour brand, but this seems like a great product. Good creamy texture. The shade I received, Spark, is a really pretty coral-like pink. So pretty!
• FULL SIZE: 0.34 oz @ $28.00 -- there was a coupon code for 20% off your purchase on the Vapour website with code SUB20
• SIZE I RECEIVED: 0.34 oz (full sized item)
• VALUE: $28.00

 

GOURMET BODY TREATS Chocolate Bon Bons

• DESCRIPTION ON INFO CARD: You'll be sweet enough to eat when you slather on one of these adorable 100% pure organic cocoa butter hearts. A treat for the body and senses.
• MY THOUGHTS: I wasn't sure what this product was used for at first; then I found out they melt onto your skin to use like you would lotion. At least that's what I'm assuming from what I read on their website. They do smell good, like chocolate but not as good as some chocolate scents I've smelled. I haven't used them yet, but plan to try them out in the future. I didn't get the heart shaped bon bon's but I did get the flower shaped ones. They also say that since these melt in the summer (they'll melt over 82 degrees), they don't ship in the summer.
• FULL SIZE: 4 Bon Bons @ $19.99 -- there was a coupon code for 20% off storewide with code apricot
• SIZE I RECEIVED: 2 Bon Bons
• VALUE: $9.99

  










NAKED EYE BEAUTY Rose Tinted Lip Balm

• DESCRIPTION ON INFO CARD: Get a hint of rosey lip color with this vegan, all-natural tinted lip balm that can also be used to give cheeks a healthy glow.
• MY THOUGHTS: The color swatched really pretty; sheer rosey color. The scent, however, is a little heavy for my liking, so I didn't use this on my lips. I'll probably give this away, even though it seems really nice. I'm just really sensitive to scents.
• FULL SIZE: unsure of size @ $8.00 -- there was a coupon code for 15% off your order at their Etsy store with code APRICOT15
• SIZE I RECEIVED: unsure of size, but it is full sized (full sized item)
• VALUE: $8.00

 

ARTISAN NATURALS Soothing Aloe Face Cleanser

• DESCRIPTION ON INFO CARD: A mild skin wash for all skin types. Sulfate free and gentle.
• MY THOUGHTS: I have to admit that this sample bottle was not very practical. It was really difficult to squeeze, almost impossible. I thought that maybe there was a seal, so I unscrewed the cap, but no seal to be found. It was just too hard of a bottle to squeeze out of the cleanser. There was a light fragrance to this, but with all the skincare I'm testing I don't know if I'll get around to using this anytime soon. Possibly in the future though! In addition to the coupon code, there was a card in there for $10 off your order. I won't post the code in case it is unique and can only be used once.
• FULL SIZE: 4 fl oz @ $25.00 -- there was a coupon code for 20% off your entire order on their website with code APRICOT
• SIZE I RECEIVED: 1 fl oz
• VALUE: $6.25

   

 

OVERALL BEAUTY MINERALS Eye Shadow in the shade China Doll

• DESCRIPTION ON INFO CARD: Rich, luxurious color that goes on and stays on is the trademark of these heavily pigmented shadows.
• MY THOUGHTS: I really like the color I received; it's a pretty pink with lots of sparkle (even though you can't see the pretty sparkle in the photos). I liked the formula too; it's a brand I'd like to check out further.
• FULL SIZE: 5 gram jar @ $7.99; 10 gram jar @ $11.99 -- there was a coupon for 10% off your first order of $30 or more with coupon code APRICOT
• SIZE I RECEIVED: I'm not 100% sure, but I believe it's a sample jar
• VALUE: $1.50

 

 

SOAPYLAYNE Relaxing Herbal Bath Tea

• DESCRIPTION ON INFO CARD: A lovely mixture of herbal teas, including Lavender, Rose Petals, Chamomile, and Calendula creates not only an amazing scent, but also a very soothing, spa like bath.
• MY THOUGHTS: I'm not a tea drinker, but I may give a tea bath a try. Problem is I rarely have time to take a bath; I'm a shower gal. My husband, however, has already said he'll take it. So looks like he'll be using this. Smells relaxing, but for sure a tea scent (if that makes sense?). 
• FULL SIZE: 1 tea packet @ $4.00 -- there was a coupon for 15% off your order on their Etsy store with coupon code apricot
• SIZE I RECEIVED: 1 tea packet (full sized item)
• VALUE: $4.00

PURE PLANT SPA Aromatic Body Lotion

• DESCRIPTION ON INFO CARD: Nourishing vitamin-rich, bioactive body lotions made, with certified organic botanical extracts, plant derived ingredients and extraordinary essential oil aromas.
• MY THOUGHTS: I didn't open this sample up because I don't have my sample containers ready to use yet, and I didn't want to waste this. I got the Mandarin Orange + Grapefruit, which sounds like it would smell really refreshing. Looking forward to trying this.
• FULL SIZE: 8.5 oz @ $21.00 -- there was a coupon code for 20% off all products on their website with coupon code PPS20
• SIZE I RECEIVED: 0.24 fl oz
• VALUE: $0.60
