My {Current} Favorite Night Time Moisturizer: Melvita Honey Body Cream

Melvita Ultra Nourishing Body Balm 

This is another one of those products that's been sitting here for longer than I care to say and I can't figure out what took me so long to give it a try because it is SPECTACULAR! It is actually one of Melvita's best sellers and I totally understand why! Melvita Ultra-Nourishing Body Balm (MSRP $34 for 5.2 fl. oz)  is one of the rare products that I've received for review but will come out of pocket to repurchase once it runs out.

A War of the Roses Where Everybody Wins! AKA: A Gift Guide

Fresh roses are awesome (if you're into that sort of thing), but they're pretty for a while and then they die... and leave a mess. So if you want to give the gift of roses, perhaps ponder something a bit more permanent-like skincare!

Fab Five Favorites! Lil Bits' Bath Time Edition

So is it really a surprise that I might be slightly obsessed with bath goodies for my lil bits (and my not so lil bit too) or that that obsession has been passed on to them as well? No? Didn't think so! Don't judge me! Hygiene is important! And while it may be perfectly alright to have have (occasionally) smelly little boys, little girls that smell like "outside" (as I like to phrase it) are not the business. So here are a few of the lines and products that keep my little princesses clean, soft, and yummy smelling!

Melvita All Stars

Melvita All Stars by mamafashionist1 featuring a face care

I've shared my love for Melvita's Rose Nectar collection and their Extraordinary Waters , but honestly I am so impressed with the quality of the products that I've tried from the French organic beauty pioneer, that several of the products have earned a place in my daily rotation of products for skin care and maintenance, for both myself and my lil bits!

A Match Made in Heaven: Angels on Bare Skin and My Clarisonic!

First let me say, I use my Clarisonic every night, regardless of what cleanser I use, and it's kind of life changing (well, skin changing to say the least).  Lately, I'm loving it even more when I use Angels On Bare Skin facial cleanser from LUSH...

Melvita Extraordinary Water

I'm not going to wax poetic on how much I love Birchbox (again), and though I do feel a bit indifferent about some of the items in my Jetset themed box this month (Band Aids designed by Cynthia Rowley?), I am very pleased with the rest of it (John Vavartos cologne for the hubby, a full size Eyeko liquid eyeliner, theBalm Stainiac lip and cheek stain), especially the gem pictured below...

Melvita Rose Floral Water

I May Be In GA, But My Skin Feels Like It's In a French Rose Garden (Melvita Rose Nectar Collection)

In all honesty, at the core, I am a makeup/cosmetics junkie. But as I've gotten older, I've come to appreciate the importance of taking care of your canvas-your skin. Lately I've become a little obsessed with skin care and fine tuning my routine to take care of my biggest vital organ. So, as you can imagine, I jumped on the chance to try Melvita's new Rose Nectar Collection.
