Beauty Review: EOS- Boost Hand/Body Lotion & EOS Limited Edition “Basket of Fruit” Lip Balm Set

I have been a HUGE fan of EOS products since I first discovered their unique sphere lip balms! Now, they have a NEW bundle of the same sphere shaped lip balms in a Summer Fruit Basket! I couldn’t wait to try them!

In the EOS Limited Edition “Basket of Fruit” Lip balms there is the Limited Edition Fresh Watermelon and their ever popular Strawberry Sorbet, Summer Fruit and Pomegranate Raspberry! I had tried the Summer Fruit and Strawberry Sorbet before and absolutely LOVED them. The Fresh Watermelon and Pomegranate Raspberry were totally new to me, however!

When I love something, I try and add as much as I can to my collection. That’s the way I felt about these. I am IN love with all the other lip balms I have from EOS, I couldn’t wait to add these as well! EOS is amazing because they do NOT test on animals and their products are natural!

I am truly IN LOVE with all four of these. They not only smell amazing but they taste amazing if you accidentally lick your lips. There is absolutely no way that you could ask me to choose a favorite, and I could possibly do it. They are all amazing!

They are all petroleum free, so it isn’t an “oily” feel when you use them. Nothing but nice soft, sweet smelling lips! They are packed with antioxidant-rich vitamin E. Vitamin E helps not only to soothe the lips but to protect them from free radical damage. This helps your lips heal while also helping them from looking aged, cracked, or broken.

To help with nourishment and moisturizing they contain soothing shea butter and jojoba oil! These are a pure, simple way to hydrate your dry, chapped lips. This can happen for a lot of reasons. Whether you’re exposed to the sun, wind, cold temperatures, or dry-indoor heat. Soothe those babies with EOS!

I have a problem with dry lips because of the tanning bed. It seems to dry up everything on my body.. skin, feet, lips, and even my scalp. This had my dry lips back to normal within 3 days of use! That’s a miracle because they were so bad that it even gave me a cold sore!

This is after 3 days, with EOS under some Secret Agent Lipgloss! I can’t wait to get my hands on the Blueberry Acai YUMMY!

See how not only the outside of the lip balm is egg shaped, but also the lip balm itself? I love that! It makes it 10x easier to glide on my lips! It forms perfectly to the lips! It has a twist on cap, so I can just toss these in my purse without worrying that they are going to end up a gunky mess at the bottom.

EOS Boost Hand/Body Lotion

This is definitely a body lotion for EVERYBODY. Men, women, and children alike. It’s non-greasy, long-lasting, and goes on smoothly without any left over residue. If you have sensitive skin or are just sensitive to fragrances—this is for you!

I’m not sensitive to smells OR have sensitive skin. I just needed something that wasn’t going to mess with my “fragranced” body wash or bath soak. When you combine two different strong smells, it doesn’t smell quite so great!

This has a light fragrance, and smells delicious. It smells like a mixture of vanilla/almonds/coconut/shea butter. You can smell it, but it isn’t strong or overwhelming. It doesn’t make people whip their heads and say “who is wearing that?” when you walk into a room.

EOS Boost Complete Care Hand and Body Lotion is enriched with moisturizing shea butter and oat extract to protect the skin from the damaging effects of cold, wind and stress. It’s also natural and doesn’t contain any parabens.

I LOVE the uniqueness that EOS brings to all their products. It isn’t just another bottle of lotion sitting on the counter. It’s pump-action top makes it easy to apply right out of the shower or after I get out of the tanning bed.

The pump-action makes it easy to get the right amount that I need to moisturize my body without a ton left over. I love that I’m not stuck with lotion all over my hands trying to squeeze lotion from a bottle. THEN when I’m done, I’m not stuck with left over lotion, trying to figure out what to do with it!

It’s just the right consistency. It isn’t too thick OR too watery. It is rich and luxurious without being too much. My skin just soaks it right up! I love this lotion!

Hugo Naturals Bath & Body Review

I was sent 7 items from Hugo Naturals Vanilla & Sweet Orange Line of Beauty and Bath Products as well as a body polish from their Brown Sugar- Kumquat line.  Their products are gluten free, paraben free, cruelty free, and made in the U.S.A.

Foaming Hand Soap- Vanilla & Sweet Orange
$7.99

I am always washing my hands. As a mom- I have kids who are constantly spilling stuff and getting stuff on them AND me. As a crafter, I need to wash my hands quite frequently because of the paint or whatever I’m crafting with getting on my hands.
My kids also needed something they could wash their hands with after they get done using the bathroom. They are 5 and 3, so it made it a TON easier on me because it had the pump action top. They can push it down by themselves and they loves that it comes out all foamy.
It rinses off totally clean without any residue left behind like many liquid soaps or too drying like bar soaps. I love the smell of the Vanilla & Sweet Orange, it smells like an orange dreamsicle to me. I LOVE orange dreamsicles. So YUMMY. The scent isn’t overpowering either.



Hugo Naturals Lip Balm- Vanilla & Sweet Orange
I always keep chapstick on hand, ALWAYS! I never go without it. There are so many that I’ve tried.. some I like, some I would rather not use again. As far as lip balms go, I rate this as one of the highest.
It smells amazing, the Vanilla & Sweet Orange scent: “Dreamsicles again” I love. I have never used a chapstick or anything else that smelled like this until Hugo Naturals. I LOVE it. I also love that they offer a variety of items with the same smell.
This chapstick doesn’t taste, which is a plus for me. If it did taste, I might actually take a bite of this one.. lol. It smells absolutely divine. It doesn’t stay on for hours and hours, but I didn’t expect it to. That’s why I keep in in my pocket, so I can reapply when needed.
It goes on smoothly, lasts awhile, and keeps my lips super hydrated. It has a sheen like a gloss, and is amazing when put on. I love that I can put this on under or over lipstick and it makes my lipstick look so naturally moisturizing.


Hugo Naturals Body Butter- Vanilla & Sweet Orange
$12.99

My Thoughts*
I have to say that this isn’t the best body butter I’ve ever used before. Although it does take away from dryness on my feet, knees, and other troubled areas, it leaves behind a greasy/oily feel. That’s partially okay though, I just wash my hands after I’m done applying it.
I usually use body butter on my hands while I’m crocheting because the yarn tends to dry. I don’t use this though because it makes the crochet tools slip out of my hands because of the oily feel.
It works perfect on my dry feet though. I can put this on after the shower, put on my socks and my feel do not have a chance to dry up before my next shower.


Hugo Natural Bar Soap- Vanilla & Sweet Orange
I love that this soap is so easy to lather up. It almost feels like a body wash instead of a bar of soap.
Leaves me squeaky clean and smelling great. I don’t usually use bar soap, but thought I’d give it a try. It looks so awesome (because of the color) sitting in the bathroom. Looks decorative. So I put this out as a hand soap for people to wash their hands after going to the bathroom.
Everybody was complimenting me on the smell and how clean their hands felt. Even Adam uses this to wash his hands and face after he gets off work and thought it cleaned his face very well. (He usually uses body wash also).

Hugo Naturals Massage & Body Oil- Vanilla & Sweet Orange
Comforting. A vegan, cruelty-free blend of almond, jojoba and essential oils to soothe and restore your skin and your mood. Our rich and soothing blend of sweet almond and jojoba oils is enriched with vitamin E and scented with a dreamy and delectable blend of vanilla and citrus essential oils. While this nourishing blend is ideal for massage, it's also the perfect restorative for those days when your skin needs a little extra care and hydration.
My Thoughts*
AS I’ve said before, I have Keratosis Pilaris nicknamed “chicken skin” for a reason. When I found out I had this, I was prescribed Retinol A Cream. The Vitamin A naturally smoothens skin. I couldn’t afford $80 for a small tube, so my doctor recommended body oil mixed with Olive Oil.
Instead I have been using this mixed with Sprout Skincare’s CREAM and I have seen noticeable improvement in a week. I love this product.
It’s recommended that you use this straight out of the shower to hold In the moisture from the shower, but you can use it on dry skin also. Before I go to bed, I pour a about a teaspoon of this in my hand and spread it on my thighs and follow with the Cream from Sprout.
I have always been self conscious about this, hardly ever wearing shorts or a bathing suit. It kind of looked like a bunch of ingrown hairs or small pimples and they itched like poison ivy. Now they are almost completely gone without any trace of them being there at all.
They will never be “Gone” out of my life. They’ll come back if I stop using this treatment. I will certainly continue with this regimin because it is a TON cheaper than buying the Retinol A cream. (and SMELLS WAY better too) =)
My skin feels so soft and supple and smells amazing. It is lightweight and absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave behind a greasy residue. It leaves a nice healthy glow and doesn’t stain my clothes.
You can also add a few drops to your warm/hot bath water to soften your skin while you bathe, then add some more when you get out. I love the way this smells and feels.



Hugo Naturals Effercescent Bath Salts- Vanilla & Sweet Orange
Transform your bath into a luxurious and therapeutic spa experience. Lusciously bubbling blend features not one, but two mineral-rich salts—Dead Sea and Himalayan pink—to reduce tension, ease muscle discomfort and soften skin. To Use: Add a handful of salts to warm,running bath water. Relax and enjoy. Never Any: parabens, phenoxyethanol,SLS, PEGs, propylene glycol, petroleum products, artificial colors or synthetic fragrances.
My Thoughts*
I really liked this bath salt. As my water was running for my bath, I put in maybe a quarter of a cup (from the lid) into the running water and it immediately begin to fizz up. After awhile, I poured even more in there just so I could relax a little longer.
Hey- I don’t get that privilege very much.
My bath water smelled amazing. It didn’t overpower and I couldn’t smell it for VERY long after my bath, but that’s why I have the body oil and lotion, right?
It gives off such a relaxing natural beautiful smell that make me want to stay in my bath forever.. but the water got cool and cool water and I just do NOT work out so well..

Hugo Naturals All Over Body Lotion- Vanilla & Sweet Orange
$9.99
Super-moisturizing shea butter enriched with pure botanical extracts—for deep hydration that feels simply amazing.
This lotion is remarkably and wonderfully moisturizing. It is light and doesn’t leave my skin oily or greasy. It isn’t TOO thick but it isn’t watery either. It’s the right consistency for a lotion.
I keep this in my crochet bag. This keeps my hands VERY hydrated. I love crocheting but the constant touching of the yarn dries my hands. I needed something that would help me and it’s awesome because of the push down lotion top. I don’t have to put the yarn down to get a dab. I can just press, lotion up, and continue crocheting. LOVE IT!

Hugo Naturals Body Polish- Brown Sugar Kumquat
Tantalizing blend of sugar and powerful emollients gently exfoliate and moisturize while vitamin E and oat extract add suppleness and radiance. Leaving your skin velvety soft and thoroughly rejuvenated.To Use: Stir well, then massage in a circular motion into thoroughly wet skin.
My thoughts*
This has a really nice smell (you can smell the brown sugar) with a touch of the kumquat I guess (I’ve never smelled it before). It leaves my skin really soft, smooth, and supple.
It also puts a bit of oil in the bathtub, so I would recommend that you wash your hair and do whatever you need to BEFORE using this. I already had washed my hair, but I kept thinking if I hadn’t how oily my hair might become with this in the water.
It was a bit hard to stir at first. I did it with the handle of my razor. You need to mix it up because all the scrubbing particles sink to the bottom and leave an oily substance at the top. So, you need to mix this well before use.

LoveTrueNatural Review & Giveaway

I received Plump up the Volume Anti-Aging Kit from LoveTrueNatural. The Anti-Aging kit comes with

1. Advanced Lift & Firm Serum (4ml tube)
2. Eye Bright Peptide Serum (4ml tube)
3. Plump Lip Treatment (15 ml tube)
You put all of these products on your freshly cleaned face. I washed my face and then put on the Advanced Lift & Firm Serum on my face and neck. I immediately felt it drying. After it started drying, I felt it gently tugging and tightening my face. After it was dry, my skin felt so smooth and silky. I loved it.
After the Advanced Lift & Firm Serum dried, I applied the Eye Bright Peptide Serum around my eyes. It took more than one application to see the results in this, but after about 2-3, I did. Making dark circles disappear is more difficult than tightening your face. Dark circles are caused from many different things.

Often it’s fatigue, or the natural process of aging- where you skin thins, you lose collagen and the blood lines show. My dark circles are from fatigue. I rarely get the needed amount of sleep, and NEEDED something (desperately) to help me with this. I didn’t just want to cover it up with makeup, I wanted it to go away.
I can see each day as I use this a big difference in the amount of darkness underneath. This product has amazed me in the amount of time that it helped the darkness go away. It wasn’t completely gone, but really—there isn’t a product that can truly make it go away, just reduce it.

Like I said- the reason I even have dark circles is because of my sleeping pattern. I couldn’t expect this to take it ALL away, since my sleeping is still at a minimum. I loved that it helped reduce it SO much and then using concealer and makeup- you CAN’T see it at all.

The Plump Lip Treatment is something that you can feel INSTANTLY. You can feel this helping your lips. I have tried others that taste VERY bad, this one tastes like a peppermint/cinnamon mix and actually DOES work. You put it on like a normal lipgloss during the day. (It feels like a chapstick but is more creamy) It doesn’t stay on for long periods of time as a creamy liquid, but you can still feel it long after the cream is gone. It seeps into your lips and gives your lips a natural glow (and tint).

I was very happy with all 3 of these products and how well they worked, and how fast the results came. If you AREN’T looking for something to keep your skin youthful and glowing- they also sell other products.
They sell Face Products like cleanser, exfoliators, and moisturizers. They sell organic makeup; such as foundation, makeup remover, mascara, and more. Natural Hair Care products such as shampoo and conditioner, etc. Even more on the website.. be sure to check it out.

"True Natural Spa's all natural and pepperminty lip plumper is the must have product for full, voluminous lips! Combine this with their ultra-concentrated, spa-grade anti-aging serums to restore your skin's youthful appearance and resilient complexion.

"Plump" combines cinnamon oil, peppermint and niacin to bring fullness and a warm tingle to your lips

The True Natural Spa Lifting Serum contain bio-hyaluronic acid to reduce the appearance of fine lines, natural polysaccharides to provide intense firming and lifting, Ferulic acid and pomegranate extract give antioxidant protection against harsh environments and premature aging.

The Eye Bright Peptide Serum combats dark circles, skin pigmentation and fine-lines around the eye area with arbutin, cucumber extract and collagen enhancing peptides."

EOS Lip Balm Review

 

The evolution of smooth™  a natural reason to smile

"eos fits a woman's sense of style and also lets her have fun in the process of getting more beautiful."

I received 6 of the EOS lip balms.

• Summer Fruit
• Lemon Drop SPF 15
• Strawberry Sorbet
• Honeysuckle Honeydew
• Medicated Tangerine
• Sweet Mint

They are available for purchase at Walgreens, Target, EvolutionofSmooth.com.

To keep your lips looking and feeling healthy, they created this 95% organic, 100% natural lip balm that's petrolatum and paraben free, just like you.

Packed with antioxidant-rich Vitamin E, soothing shea butter and jojoba oil, eos keeps lips moist, soft and sensationally smooth.

The lip balms are USDA-certified organic, and 100% natural. The spheres that they come in are super soft, ergonomic, and are also recyclable.

Honeysuckle Honeydew

Summer Fruit

Sweet Mint-

Tangerine

Lemon Drop

and Strawberry Sorbet

I have a habit of licking my lips most of the time, and it leaves them dry. If they end up getting too dry they crack and get cold sores. There are very few lip balms that actually help me. I have found SOME that help, but I usually end up losing them because I stick them in my pockets.

Most natural lip balms are either too soft or too hard in consistency. On the harder types, I have to practically press VERY hard to get any on my lips. The ones that are too soft do not tend to stay on very long. These are exactly the right consistency. They stay on WAY longer than most lip balms, they moisturize very well, and they smell amazing.

It tastes amazing, unlike most lip balms that SAY they do. The packaging is very well suited for dropping in your purse. I have never had to dig around for this. I can always just reach in and find it no matter where it is.

The Sweet Mint is amazing. It gives the tingle and relief to extremely dry lips as blistex does. My daughter rubbed my blistex all over the table, so I was without. I had a nasty cold sore from being sick and it kept burning. As soon as I applied the Sweet Mint the dryness was soothed and so was the burning.

All in all, I would definitely purchase these AGAIN and AGAIN. These are wonderfully made natural lip balms that help in every way possible. Overtime it has helped prevent dry and chapped lips, while helping take away the already existing chapping. LOVE IT!!
