Review: Smooth Essentials Bath Bomb Fizzies

April 23, 2012

Smooth Essentials Bath Bomb Fizzies in Tropic Berry Bliss

After a very long day a hot bath can be very soothing and relaxing. I like to light some Nag Champa incense, a candle or two and relax in a hot tub filled with my favorite bubble bath or a bath bomb. There’s nothing like being soothed by fragrant waters flowing over your skin while bathing in candlelight. It really is a magical experience.

Since hot water can be somewhat drying to skin I like to make sure that I’m keeping my skin properly moisturized. Last night I tried a new bath product, Smooth Essentials Bath Bomb Fizzies in Tropic Berry Bliss. This bath bomb contains dead sea salt, Italian olive oil, Aloe Vera Juice, Vitamin E, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Olive Oil, Soybean Oil and Essential Oils to help you relax while keeping skin soft and moisturized.

I sampled the Tropic Berry Bliss Fizzy Bomb scent, it was sweet smelling like candy, pink and contained a tiny bit of glitter. I decided to try the bathbomb in my bathtub since I was long overdue for a relaxing bubble bath; these bath bombs can also be used for pedicures too. The bath bomb fizzled out pretty quickly and turned the bubbles slightly pink until it had completely dissolved living behind a pinkish tinge in the water. The moisturizing ingredients could definitely be felt in the water and I was even able to shave my legs without using any shaving cream. This bath bomb fizzy adds a bit of moisture to your bath water which is great if you suffer from dry skin.

I think adding a little something extra to your bath like a bath bomb fizzy or a bubble bath soap is always a nice way to relax at the end of a long day. Don’t you?

Review: Smooth Essentials Delectable Sugar Silky Body Butter

April 21, 2012

 Smooth Essentials Delectable Sugar Silky Body Butter

I have a weakness for great smelling sweetly fragrant beauty products. In fact my sweet tooth extends well beyond my love of candy confections and baked goods all the way through to my beauty products. I just love great smelling things, especially when they smell good enough to eat! That’s why when I tried Smooth Essentials Delectable Sugar Silky Body Butter, not only fabulous smelling product but a super rich moisturizing body butter, I was hooked. It smells absolutely delicious!

All Smooth Essentials products are minimally preserved, packaged in recyclable and never animal tested, making them cruelty-free and environmentally friendly. These at home spa products are also paraben free and uses natural ingredients like sunflower seed oil, jojoba, essential oils, aloe and shea butter to keep skin healthy and soft. I recently tried the Smooth Essentials Body Scrub which did an amazing job of exfoliating my skin and leaving it well moisturized.

This silky body butter is extra thick, thicker and creamier than most moisturizers on the market. It absorbs very quickly and your skin will stay nourished and moisturized for throughout the day without feeling greasy. This body butter is enriched with Jojoba oil, Aloe and beeswax making it perfect for those extra dry areas that need a little more attention to stay soft and smooth. The scent is very sweet but does it does not linger too long after application, which I would have prefered since it smells so amazing, but it fades pretty quickly after application.

Overall I loved how well this body butter worked on my driest areas like my knees and heels. In fact I’ll share a little tip with you, after showering slather this body butter on your feet and put on a pair of cotton socks. In the morning your feet with feel super soft and smooth!

Review: Smooth Essentials Coconut and Lime Sugar Body Scrub

April 14, 2012

Smooth Essentials Coconut and Lime Sugar Body Scrub

Sometimes you don’t know that you actually need a certain beauty product until you try it out. That was me with body scrubs. I just didn’t know how good they are until I rubbed my hands down my legs and felt the incredible silky smoothness. One hot shower with a body scrub and I was completely sold on the idea. Scrubs exfoliate your skin which does a wonderful job of removing dry dead skin cells to reveal brighter and healthier-looking skin – plus its a great prep before shaving. And now that summer is quickly approaching and we’re going to be showing off a lot more skin exfoliation should be a priority.

I recently received a sample of Smooth Essentials Coconut and Lime Sugar Body Scrub and the smell immediately had me hooked. I had to take a second whiff: “Whoa…this smells incredible!” I mean seriously this scrub smells good enough to eat.

Two showers later and I’m still kind of obsessed with this scrub. The sugar melts in the shower but lasts long enough to polish the dryness away leaving behind nothing but soft and silky skin. There aren’t any icky parabens, sulfates or mineral oil in this jar- plus this scrub is cruelty-free! With the quadruple combination of Sunflower Oil, Shea Butter, Rice Bran Oil and Jojoba Oil your skin is left  supple without feeling greasy. I also ove the soft sheen left behind, my skin wasn’t oily at all! I think we found a winner!
