In-My-Tub-Tuesday: Whish Body Three Whishes Sugar Scrub in Almond

Posted on October 8, 2013 by BeautyFrosting

Well, well, well. So, listen, I had a date the other night and no time for a quick trip to the day spa – I mean really – who does these days?
I wanted my skin to be super soft in 5 minutes flat. I wanted the silky legs, the supple arms and the soft everywhere else.

So with all of the beauty products living in my house, what did I turn to?
It’s simple – Whish Body Three Whishes Sugar Scrub in Almond ($38).

In-My-Tub-Tuesday: Whish Body Three Wishes Sugar Scrub in Almond

So why was this the chosen one to do me up for my date?

I’ll give you THREE reasons – (appropriate, non?):

1) My extremely dry skin was jonesing for a sumptuous sugar scrub that would leave me moisturized, soft and silky without feeling slimy or oily. I mean, who would want to feel like an oil slick? With its happy marriage of a trio of exfoliants (bamboo powder, raspberry seed and a brown sugar & cane sugar combo) and a triple dose of rich moisturizers, my skin always feels pretty and polished in no time with Whish Three Whishes Sugar Scrub.

2) Um, what girl doesn’t want to smell like a cookie? And, more importantly, what guy doesn’t love cookies? See, how that works? So a sweet-smelling scrub like Whish’s Almond scrub was exactly what I was craving. It did the job and left me smelling as sweet as an almond cookie.

3) Whish products are free of everything you don’t want – sulfate-free, paraben-free, petrochemical-free, TEA & DEA-free, and animal cruelty-free. Plus, all Whish products are made in the good ole U.S.A. and the ingredients are all natural and organic which is just beyond sexy.

So not only did I get a perfectly sloughed and smoothed body from head to toe – but I also smelled like I’d been slaving away in the kitchen all day. Well, that or bathing in almond cookies. Either one – not a bad thing for romance, folks. Not a bad thing, at all.

In-My-Tub-Tuesday: Exfolimate Face and Body Exfoliation

Posted on July 9, 2013 by BeautyFrosting

Last week, I tried something unlike anything I’ve ever tried before. And I must say I am intrigued which is why I MUST share it with you on In-My-Tub-Tuesday, today!

In-My-Tub-Tuesday: Exfolimate Face and Body Exfoliation ($39.95)

So what is this intriguing beauty product sitting in my bathtub? A revolution in exfoliation called Exfolimate.

Exfolimate is a hand-held exfoliation tool, with innovative micro grooves and a smooth edge technology that glides along your skin to gently and precisely exfoliate. Think of it as a skin squeegee. Yes, really!
You use Exfolimate in the tub or shower (or at the sink, I suppose) when your skin is damp and your skin the most supple. So how does it work? Well, here’s where it’s gonna sound, um, weird. There is almost a blade-like, dull edge that does its job to eradicate excess oil, dirt and dead skin from your face and body. Each Exfolimate comes with one tool for the face and one larger tool for the body so you’re covered there.

It’s so easy to use, you’re gonna wonder if you’re using it correctly. You are. It’s super simple.
So my results? I didn’t see any evident dirt or oil come off my face but keep in mind that I have been religious with my skin-cleaning routine since I was 11 and I am super dry. But when I used the Body Exfolimate on my upper back, well, let’s just say I saw some instant results! My skin was left feeling deeply cleansed.

A perfect alternative to grainy scrubs that can oftentimes cause irritation, Exfolimate works to clean pores, tone and exfoliate all in one step. And it leaves you with a natural, glowing radiance with not a bit of ruddiness in sight! Plus, my skin felt smoother after each use.

Some other good ways to use Exfolimate? When getting ready for a spray tan, for a pedicure and for smoother shaving and waxing.

It’s worth a try! And I think those of you on the more oily side will definitely see immediate results!!

BF

In-My-Tub-Tuesday: Clarisonic Mia in Pink – the cleansing queen

Posted on April 30, 2013 by BeautyFrosting

Just because you may not be a bath-lover like me, it doesn’t mean you can’t look forward to your bath or shower time!

Meet the Clarisonic Mia.

Clarisonic Mia in Pink ($119)

Clarisonic Mia ($119)

She’s cute, compact and a cleaning queen! What makes her queen, you ask? The sensational sonic frequency that moves Clarisonic‘s soft, gentle brush back and forth at more than 300 times per second, thoroughly clearing pores and skin’s surface.

Ideal for all skin types and recommended by many leading dermatologists, the Clarisonic Mia deeply cleans and gently exfoliates all while increasing blood and oxygen circulation in the face.

Know why else Mia is the cleaning queen? She removes makeup six times better than traditional methods, cleans deeply into pores and reduces pore size appearance -cleansing so deeply that products are absorbed better and skin looks healthier.

After my first cleansing, my skin looked younger, brighter, smoother and felt completely clean!

All hail the Queen…Queen Clarisonic Mia, that is!

xoxo,
BF

NOTE: Clarisonic Mia is available in many shades. But you know me, I had to go with the pink!

BF Asks: Are you a fan of the Clarisonic Mia?
