Fresh Sugar Acai body creme

image: Neiman Marcus
Acai, a berry from the amazon is the latest “it” ingredient, and it’s found its way into all kinds of products. Fresh is a brand that I’ve loved for years for their perfumes, but the body care and makeup are just as alluring. I’ve really got my eye on this […]

Dee-licious body polish from Sweet Gracie

Etsy’s chock full of wonderful small bath and body product makers, and I could hardly try them all. But this one’s going to the top of my list: Sweet Gracie gets great reviews and these body polishes look and sound to die for! My sweetie would probably pick Banana Split, but Lemon Sugar […]

Johnson’s Softwash - 24 Hour Moisturizing Wash

I received the entire line of Johnson’s Melt Away Stress products.  I’ve definitely got LOTS of stress these next few weeks, so what better time to try ‘em out?
I got home from night school (7-9:40 PM after an entire day at work, mind you) and I was exhausted but I needed a shower.  I really […]

indie crush: Disquieting Designs

At yesterday’s Spring Bada-Bing I met my new craft crush: disquieting designs. She came all the way from Pittsburgh, PA just to hang out with us and sell her wares. The packaging is quite rock and roll: think the B-52’s in a bubble bath. Disquieting Designs works hard to be vegan […]

Pink Sugar for Spring!

Teri, our managing editor of Splendicity.com, and writer for AgingFabulous and CelebLOOK has a great guest post for you today!
Aquolina’s Pink Sugar is a definite scent made for Spring or warmer months, in my opinion.
Pink Sugar is a playful and warm scent with notes of Bergamot, Sicilian Orange, Raspberry, Fig Leaves, Lily of the Valley, […]

Hello, Sugar!

Bath and Body Works is a bit late getting into the “Sugar” craze - of course, it all started with Fresh and their Brown Sugar Body Scrub, and then brands like Mark got into the fray. Sugar and/or Lemon Sugar just isn’t a complicated idea, so I don’t know why we have as many […]

Perfume in the News - Perfume Parties Trend Alert!

Forget tupperware parties - some hip ladies in the Washington, DC area are having perfume parties instead.  Kind of like a visit to The Body Shop back in the day, where you could make any product according to the scents you chose, Catherine Javier-Wong will blend them up at one of her Urban Botanic parties.   […]

Whipped Shea butter from GudonyaToo!

Whipped Shea butter can be a bit messy if it’s pure, but it’s also one of the best things I’ve found to moisturize my hands and feet.  Do you get those raggedy cuticles in the winter?  I sure do.  Yuck.  I’m looking for some great products to help out and I found this.  It […]

Scrub and Shea!

I purchased some new pampering goods for my hands, since they’re getting so chapped and also get paper cuts so easy in this cold weather.  I hope that winter’s almost over, but just in case, I’m going to start babying them a bit more.  I tried two products from SunKissed Bud, a seller that’s new […]
