Barielle Nail Polish

I have been searching for a more natural nail polish to replace my China Glaze collection, one that does not contain Formaldehyde, Toluene and DBP, seen a few but the price tag was out of my spending limit. While in T.J. Max the other night in the sale section I came across 3 Barielle protect plus color nail strengthener and decided to take a read (I read everything before purchasing). To my surprise this nail polish is formulated without Formaldehyde, Toluene and DBP so why not try.

These are more nail  treatments than nail polish but they do have color to them as you can see in the pic, the colors are sheer pink, pink, natural beige, I am wearing natural beige. The texture of this treatment polish is tick and  this helps in keeping the polish on your nails. the smell is very strong, next time I will be doing my nails outside.

Overall I like them and decided to take a look at Barielle site, they had a sale going on for buy one get one half off with a extra 30% off plus free shipping over $50 I did not make it to $50. So if your looking for a some what natural nail polish (we are girls after all and we like to look pretty) and you don't wanna spend $14-$8 on a bottle of nail polish give then a try.

Not All Attar's Are Equal

I decided to test out Attar Bazaar, prices were good and reviews were great so that's a go in my book, did I have a surprise coming my way. As soon as I open the book I was like no they did not, then I started unwrapping the cute little bottles and open to take a sniff, no way on the face of this earth were these Attar's pure fragrance oil bottled and sold as Attar such a shame.


Thank you Broken Earth for the real stuff for being honest with your buyers I will never stray again.

Dr Bonner's

I cut down on my spending a bit and decided to trade in my $10 bar of organic soap for Dr. Bonner’s Pure Castile Liquid Soap in Lavender, I re-discovered this liquid soap on my trip this summer as I needed to take something with me to shower and I was all out of bar soap (finally finished my box of soap). Purchased it on vita cost along with a bunch of other things and it sure did the job on my vacation, the smell is truly Lavender and gives you a great shower experience, it lathers up like a dream, your left with clean, fresh skin that is not at all dry and I only need to lather once.

A little goes a long way with this liquid soap and you can also use it around the house for other cleaning jobs, I used it the other day to clean my makeup brushes. Dr Bonner's has a wide range of scents to choose from and I have used a few in the past. At the moment Lavender Rocks

Broken Earth Naturals

For over 5,000 years Attars has been one of the most Exotic Natural Fragrance for the Soul not only does it smell good but it has a tremendous effect on the olfactory nerves of a person meaning it is a mood shifter, different Attars do different things to help elevate ones feeling. Nakh Choya Attar helps in boosting the consciousness while calming anger and panic and reduces insomnia. White Sandalwood Attar brings on closer to the divine and helps maintain a person's alertness while in meditation. It is said to be relaxing and has antimicrobial properties.

Broken Earth Naturals Attars are distilled botanical materials that are then aged in white sandalwood base.



My personal mixture and most use Attars at the moment are Nakh Choya Attar and White Sandalwood Attar.

Nakh Choya Attar

 

At first sniff it smells like burnt citrus leaf and twigs and I was like what the hell is this I think they sent me the wrong Attar, but then I decided to put some on and let it mingle with my chemistry and it still smelled like burnt citrus leaf and twigs but on the dry down it turns into something truly worth a second smell and then it shift into a clean smell with a little orange and a back drop of faint sandalwood and I loved it but the lasting power was not the best, comparing to the other Attars that last all day this last at most 1hr.

White Sandalwood Attars

My all time must have smell, it is not at all a strong sandalwood but a soft, clean and almost delicate scent it reminds me of something "NEW", the lasting power stays all day and it is so relaxing for when you’re having a busy day at work and your body heat sends up wafer of sandalwood to calm you down.

 Nakh Choya and White Sandalwood Attar

These two mix together creates my perfect scent one that I can sit with all day and not get annoyed, one that is unique and all me. This combination together has a soft smoky, clean, and fresh scent.

 What is your scent? You know like my aunt love wings perfume so every time I smell wings I remember her.

I AM BACK

Yes i am back went on a little vacation, be on the look out for new post and new blog.

Treehouse Botanicals

Once upon a time called Dawn To Dusk, I like the old name and the new one what say you?  Ok we are not going to talk about names today but we will be talking about my custom blend perfume sprays. A fellow blogger sent me a generous sample of neroli hydrosol and let's just say I am indeed in-love it is the most delightful scent one can use to relax and just refresh. So I have been on a neroli high and requested that Dawn do some custom that incorporated neroli in the blend.

Custom I

Neroli, Citrus, Cocoa & Ambrette, just looking at this from the bottle in all its dark glory I knew it would take me to places I needed to be taken. It's young I know it needs time to mature and grow into it's own but I needed to do this review while it is fresh from the oven, it stink but a good stench one you'll wear when the moon is glowing and in the full, the sweet tart smell of orange and the rich foodie smell of cocoa with a sultry hint of ambrette. Let's revisit this one in a few weeks if I still have any left over to review.

 

Custom II

Neroli, Citrus, Cocoa & Vanilla

Fist of all no one does Vanilla like Dawn I don't know it's like her vanilla is on steroids, when I envision my neroli scent this was what I had brewing in my head, sunshine with a hint of sweet home made lemonade this is one intoxicating scent that just brings the neroli in full bloom, WOW I am impress.

Ambrozia

Ambrozia, this belongs to Dawn perfume oil line up but I wanted it in a perfume spray and Dawn made it happen. Love this it is sweet girlie and just a special blend that I will not be without I also have this in the body oil, sweet jasmine and citrus mingles in this perfect creation it's so sweet its almost like you can taste it.

Now i must say i am all Neroli out.

Look how pretty the packaging is I am not a new customer of Dawns I own almost everything she has listed in her shop so if she sent my order in a plastic bag I would not care but her presentation is always on point never short of making you feel special to open a gift to yourself.

Living Libations

Fountain of Youth

Best Skin Ever

What a name,but they live up to it. The first time I used this oil cleanser that also doubles  as a moisturizer and triples and exfoliate one bottle for all your needs they say, so let's see how it works. It does and I was amazed at how soft my face was, clear and glowing so radiant and it smells yummy I got the chocolate best skin ever oil as they do carry a few others and they all look and sound so good it was very hard to just chose one so the shopper in me got the seabuckthorn best skin ever I use these oils to cleans/exfoliate depending on how much pressure you apply with a bamboo or hemp face cloth and also to moisturize skin after cleansing.

I have been looking into this  line for the longest and wanted to try all the products that they carry but the prices are on the costly side but  now I know why they do not skim on quality they bring it and set the bar high for other companies that claim to be all organic. Now that I've look into to it you get your money's worth because you get high quality products and a little goes a long way.


I love making my own products yes and the ingredient looks simple enough but I do not know what it is but I don't think it would be the same if I tried my hands at it. This product is simple divine skin loving goodness. 

This range covers all your personal needs, and also covers internal needs with serious vibrations to make you feel good and just smile for the rest of the day because you're on the Living Libations truth juice.

Another reason for not trying their line is because they are located in Canada and I was not in the mood to pay for the shipping cost, one day while searching the web I came across a blog review on living libation best skin ever and at the end she had a 10% discount off when you place a $150 purchase from LivingEarthBeauty.com I was like OK cool so when I start playing I see that Living Earth Beauty has free shipping if you spent $99 so it was on.
