Smell Sweet with I love…

I love is an exciting bath and beauty line that prides itself in providing high quality, affordable and delicious products. These products boast paraben-free, skin-friendly formulations with natural additives, and come in a variety of yummy fragrances.

I love is a brand I've looked at many times while perusing the shelves of Shoppers Drug Mart. Right away their packaging and scent combinations reminded me of Philosophy bath products, and I can't help but smell the entire line whenever I see it.

Today I will be reviewing two products that will help keep you skin clean, hydrated, and smelling amazing 365 days a year. As an added perk, one of these scents is almost an exact dupe for Lush’s Snow Fairy, which is my favourite scent ever!

I love…Strawberries & Cream Bubble bath & Shower Crème

Feel scrumptious with a burst of fresh strawberries and smooth yummy cream. This bubble bath and shower crème includes a unique skin softening vitamin complex to help moisturize and keep skin soft and supple.

Oh wow I love this shower gel! I haven’t been able to use anything else since first trying this. This light pink gel lathers to a super soft foam that smells just heavenly. The scent isn’t too sickly sweet, and it lingers, so I'm left smelling great all day.

The first time I smelled this product it reminded me of the flavour/scent of those pink fluoride treatments at the dentist. You know when they put that foam applicator in your mouth and you look like a duck. I've always liked the taste of the fluoride treatment, so not surprised I love the scent of this shower gel. It is kind of weird that I end up thinking about going to the dentist every time I use it though…

I love…Raspberry & Blackberry Nourishing Body Butter

Feel invigorated with a burst of yummy raspberry & delicious blackberry. Coconut oil and Shea Butter leave your skin feeling gorgeously nourished and silky soft, while the gorgeous perfume leaves your skin beautifully fragranced.

This product has arrived just in time for Fall/Winter. My skin gets so incredibly dry in the Winter that I require a moisturizer this thick and luxurious on a daily basis. A little of this product goes a long way, and it absorbs quickly into the skin leaving no residue or greasiness. Plus, the scent lingers for hours, so I catch hints of it during the day and it makes me smile.

Speaking of scent, this product smells exactly like Lush’s Snow Fairy fragrance to me! Seeing as Snow Fairy is only available at Christmas and cost like $20 for 500mL, I am so glad that I found this product. Now I can smell this glorious scent all year round, at a fraction of the price. I will be buying this whole line.

I love scent lines include bath gels, lotions, exfoliating scrubs, and fruity spritzers. To get your own sweet bath products, visit a Shoppers Drug Mart near you! Now excuse me while I go clear out my SDM!

Colours of the Rainbow Tag!

I first saw this tag going around YouTube a few weeks ago, and knew that I wanted to get in on this tag action. No one specifically tagged me, but MissGlamorazzi did say that she tagged anyone watching her video so I'm taking that as I was. :)

I am going to tag a few specific people, however, if you are reading this and want to do this tag go ahead! Leave me you link in the comments, so that I can see your colourful picks!

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Cherry Tart

I've always been wary about wearing a red lip. I'm afraid that the colour will bleed and I'll have it all over my face or all over my teeth. This was my first red lip product and it has been love ever since. This lip butter is very pigmented, I only need one layer for adequate colour payoff. It is moisturizing, especially when you put on a few layers, and the colour just intensifies with each swipe. It is a bright and vibrant red that can be worn everyday. Lately, I have been wearing this paired with black eyeliner and mascara, for a minimal, yet classic look.

Covergirl Lash Blast Volume Mascara

This has been my go to mascara since I started wearing makeup, years and years ago. Although I have tried many others, I always seem to go back to this one. The brush separates my lashes and makes it so each lash is coated from root to tip. The formula isn't overly wet so application is easy. After using this I am always left with a perfect fan of lashes.

Cake Beauty Lemon Cupcake Shampoo, Shower Gel, and Bubble Bath

I can't tell you how much I love this shower gel! It is citrusy, and sugary, with a hint of vanilla. It awakens the senses and leaves me feeling clean, and smelling great. It reminds me of Bath & Body Works Shower Gel in Lemon Vanilla. It lathers extremely well and leaves the skin clean, but not dry. I feel moisturized after using this, and rarely need to use extra cream after. The smell lingers on my skin for a little while after which is something I really like in my shower gels. I want to try and find a lotion that smells like this so that I can layer. At first I was kind of skeptical about this product because most lemon shower gels smell like Lemon Pledge to me. But this is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone.

M. Asam Vino Gold Magic Fini

I couldn't really find a green product in my collection other than this one. I received this sample in a past Glymm bag, when they were still in business. I put off using it for the longest time, because it looks so dark and I'm always the palest shade when it comes to foundations. I've been using it for about a month now and only used half the pot. This feels like a primer when it goes on, but melts into your skin like a BB cream. It gives me light, even coverage, that on most days is enough. When I need more coverage I use this as a base and layer foundation on top. I am going to be really sad when this sample is empty. I would be willing to splurge on this product though, that's how much I love it.

Nivea Aqua Effect Refreshing Toner - Normal Skin

This is my Holy Grail toner. I was using Clean&Clear for the longest time, but found it so drying. This toner leaves me skin feeling clean, refreshed, and not dry. It smells really good too. I use this at night after I cleanse my skin, and in the morning to remove any excess oils. I have combination skin, but this toner for normal skin has been working so I am going to be sticking with it for now. I may switch to the one for combination skin in the future, however, I will continue to use Nivea for my toner needs from now on.

Marcelle Essentials Oil Free Eye Make-up Remover Lotion

Another Holy Grail product here! I love love love this stuff! It is so gentle on the eyes so I don't need a separate remover for face and eyes. It removes cream eye shadows, and waterproof mascara like a dream. There is no scent which I like and a little goes a long way. I really like that it says it is oil free and it really is. Most other makeup removers I've used that say oil free leave some sort of residue on my face, but not this one. I don't feel like I need to wash my face again after using this.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

I didn't really have a violet or purple product I've really been loving right now. But I have been using this primer everyday, so in the tag it goes. I bought this because it is so hyped up in the beauty community. I can say it is worth the hype. My eyeshadow has never looked better and it stays on all day without fading or creasing. I bought the little sample bottle in case I didn't like it, but next time I go shopping in the USofA I am going to splurge and pick up the full size.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey

I got on the bandwagon with this hyped up product as well. This stain is that "my lips but better" shade for me and I use it almost everyday. The pencil shape allows for easy application, and the twist up bottom eliminates the hassle of having to sharpen it. Honey is a dusty rose, light pink shade, that is mildly glossy. I usually put a gloss on top a few hours later when the initial glossiness is gone and just the stain is left. I will repurchase this stain again and again.

Review: Fruits & Passion's Summer Fragrances

Hey Girls! Today I will be reviewing some products from Fruits & Passion, in their new Summer Fragrances. I received these products for free from F&P to try out and review.

Pomelo Granite 
"A joyful fragrance that combines the sweet, energizing notes of pomelo with the freshness of mint, for a granita effect. Melon, pear, peach, grapefruit, guava, blackberry and coconut. This fruit extracts cocktail is known for its antioxidant and softening properties."
 
At first I was worried that I wouldn't like this scent, but I LOVE it! It smells exactly like Spritz Up pop. Which is basically like 7UP or any other lemon-lime soda. It is very fresh and invigorating. I like to use this shower gel in the morning because the citrus really helps me wake up.
 
The body gel and hand lotion both have a gel consistency and the texture reminds me of Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel. It absorbs very quickly into the skin and there isn't any greasy residue. I've been using the Hand Cream at work and it works wonders. I am washing my hands 5-10 times an hour when I'm at work and they are extremely dry. This cream has saved my hands. I would definitely recommend it. 

Watermelon-Goji
"A fragrance bursting with fresh, summery watermelon notes accented with a cheerful and invigorating splash of goji berry."
 
I thought I would really like this scent, but it is just meh. It doesn't overly smell like watermelon, and I don't know what goji smells like, but this just smells very artificial. I definitely prefer the Pomelo Granite scent. This shower gel, like the Pomelo one, lathers well and is very moisturizing. The scent also lingers on the skin which is nice because when you use the lotion after you are layering the scents and you smell awesome all day!
 
If I had to repurchase one of the two scents I would absolutely pick the Pomelo Granite. And if I had to pick one of these products to repurchase it would be a hard choice between the shower gel and the hand lotion, but the hand lotion would win. Just because of the wonders it has worked for my hands.
 
If you are interested in purchasing any of these products, or F&P's other products, you can visit your local store or visit their website --> http://www.fruits-passion.ca/.
Keep in mind though that all of Fruits & Passion's products are seasonal and only available for 3-4 months. So run, run, run, to get your hands on these great products before they are gone.
