BATH AND BODY: Body Treatment Mass

  • AVEENO ® - Intense Relief Repair Cream - This is a super big tub of super thick cream. It is wonderful for the driest of skins, especially the heels, elbows, knees, etc.
  • Avon Products, Inc. - Anew Clinical Professional Stretch Mark Smoother - The tube is full of a very advanced cream to help boost elastin and stimulate collagen, while utilizing glycolic acid to help smooth the texture and even the tone and color of existing stretch marks.
  • Dove - Cream Oil Intensive Body Lotion - A light lotion feels very slippery, but absorbs almost instantly as it seems to melt into skin making it instantly soft.
  • Jergens - Natural Glow Express Body Moisturizer - For a bit of light color with everyday moisturizing. It works fast as it dries and within a few days starts to develop a nice natural glowing color.
  • Olay - Body Wash Plus Spa Exfoliating Ribbons - If you want to smell delicious and feel soft, step out of the shower and put this on. It instantly moisturizes and keeps skin feeling soft all through the day.

 

BATH AND BODY: Body Treatment Prestige

  • Ahava North America - Dermud Intensive Nourishing Body Cream - Such a thick cream made with minerals from the dead sea. Not only do you immediately feel soft and smooth, but overall skin starts to repair itself and not be so dry in the first place.
  • Carol's Daughter - Sweethoneydipchocolatebrownsugah Scrub - There is so much to say about this from the super sweet scent to how wonderful this brown sugar scrub works to exfoliate skin.

Happy April!

Seriously, I cannot believe that it is April 1st already (btw - Happy Birthday to Cindi, my beautiful sister of The Fragrance Fanatic!. It seems like I just rang in the new year.Times certainly does fly when you are having fun - we are having fun, aren't we?

Anyway, next month on May 1st, the winners will be announced for the CEW Beauty Insiders Choice Awards.

The finalists were announced a few weeks ago. As we know that these products represent some of the best beauty products on the market today, I thought I would take the month of April to break each category down, product by product. Starting tomorrow and on most days of this month (I think there are 28 categories), I will highlight each finalist product, by category, so you can learn more about them. Then you can really decide if you need to add them to your *must try* list. As long as you do not get mad at me when your list gets long, we will all be good!

I also don't think I mentioned who the finalists were in the Indie Beauty Awards.

To be eligible to enter the Indie Beauty Awards a company must:

  • Manufacture beauty products
  • Have first introduced products in the US in 2004 or later
  • Be neither wholly or partially owned by a larger company
  • Have not already won an Indie/Enterprising Beauty Award

This years finalists are:

  • Darac Beauty - I have honestly never heard of this brand. I must do some research on it and now.
  • Rx for Brown Skin - I have heard of this line and have heard some bloggers rave about this line, made specifically for the skin care needs of women of color.
  • Living Proof, Inc. - I reviewed one of the Living Proof products and fell hard for how wonderful it works to keep the hair frizzies at bay.
  • Mally Beauty - Who doesn't love Mally? She is a doll. While I have tried just a few of her makeup products, I really want to learn more and try more from her.
  • NIA 24 - This is a newer skin care line that works with a lot of science based on niacin. This one is only sold by Physicians, and while I could probably benefit from using some of it's products, I have yet to.
