SeasonsBox February 2013 and a surprize from Cake Beauty!



This month's SeasonsBox was themed 'Love Yourself'. While the focus of this month can lean heavily towards candy hearts and mass produced chocolate and over priced, sappy, greeting cards (I love Valentine's Day, can't you tell) SeasonsBox is asking to please remember to show yourself some love. And this box can definitely be a little treat for ya! SeasonsBox promises 3-5 full sized products each month for $34.95.

And as always, it comes beautifully wrapped! 

Lets start at the top left:

Bambu Earth Sugar Cookie Body Glow: At first I wasn't sure what a body glow was. Its a body scrub which has dead sea salt and coconut oil as some of its main ingredients. It suggests use 2-3 times a week to keep your skin glowing. It also smells good and comes in a reusable glass jar. You never see glass jars too much any more, do you? 

Galerie Au Chocolat Fair Trade Bar: I apologize for the terrible picture. Half of it got cut out! And I'd take another picture except I ate it all! Yes it was scrumptious :) The flavour I got was Crisped rice. The company is from Montreal and was formed back in 1985. I had actually never heard of them before but I will definitely be looking for their chocolates from now on!

Dream Organics Rose Water: I need to start off by saying, this bottle is just beautiful. Frosted glass with the hot pink detail.....*swoon*. Rose water is great for sensitive skin. I like to use mine as a toner, make-up setter, and a spritzer when I need a little rose aromatherapy. 

At the Bottom there is Kaia Naturals Bamboo Facial Cleansing Cloths. Each cloth is filled with vitamins and organic honey and sunflower and citrus oils. All to make your skin sing. Plus its has triple use! You can use these guys as a cleanser, toner, or makeup remover.

Ahhh, a swoon-worthy SeasonsBox. Definitely a mood lifter in a box too! What did you think of your SeasonsBox? They also offer a one time purchase so don't be afraid commitmentphobes!


A Surprize from Cake Beauty

A few weeks ago, Cake Beauty introduced their limited edition Valentine's Day collection entitled the Sweethearts Collection. They drew inspiration from those cute (sometimes raunchy, sometimes mean) candy hearts with sayings on them. To celebrate, they did a five day giveaway on their Facebook page. Each day they would give one product from the collection to one of the fans that shared the photo of the delicious prize. I entered each day. Then I perused they FB page to see who won Day 4. I had to do a double take when I saw my own name! I emailed them right away and my surprize arrived swifty!



Ta-da! This is the Sweethearts collection Come Clean, Cutie Pie luscious Bath & Shower Froth. It was a lot bigger then I expected at 515mL. Lather up with is luscious and rejuvenating bath and shower froth. Enjoy cascades of nourishing bubbles that leave your skin silky and smooth. Reminisce & indulge with the scent of sweet vanilla candy. Only the best for you, sweetheart. I definitely will! Check out the Sweethearts collection from Cake Beauty! And thanks Cake Beauty for the awesome giveaway!
