Waxelene Review and Giveaway

Closed

Winner # 54

With winter coming it not only brings snow and cold weather but it also brings dry air which can make our skin and lips chapped.

Waxelene is the eco-friendly petroleum jelly alternative. It has the same protective, waterproofing, moisturizing and soothing properties that doctors love about petroleum jelly, but it’s sustainable and organic. Waxelene’s ingredients include natural beeswax and oils like vitamin E and rosemary which soak in and nurture skin cells. The patent-pending process eliminates the need to use any petroleum by-products, hydrogenated oils, or chemical processes and includes aeration giving Waxelene a smooth texture that won’t clog pores. Committed to the environment and healthy living, the makers of Waxelene endeavor to become more sustainable every day. From using natural and organic ingredients, to packaging in recyclable glass jars (no plastic!), to implementing energy-efficient practices, Waxelene is striving to do its part to achieve a petroleum-free future.

If you are someone who uses petroleum jelly for everything from your lips, to hands and other dry skin. Then why not try Waxelene instead. It is a great natural and organic alternative.

Uses for Waxelene:

• Anything you would use petroleum jelly for and more!
• Skin moisturizing, protection, and lubrication - lips, feet – anywhere!
• Protection from chafing, friction, and wind burn - jogging, biking, volleyball, etc.
• Make-up & removal - add extra gloss to lips/face or remove make-up the healthy way.
• Soothing chapped, dry skin (Eczema & Psoriasis)
• Reducing diaper irritation - babies love Waxelene!
• Aftershave for face/legs etc.
• Wetsuit rash prevention - won't deteriorate wetsuit and no petroleum in the water!
• Hair - thick texture aids in styling while moisturizing and nourishing
• After Sun
• Hands - relieving drying effects from repeated hand washings or doing dishes
• Tons of other creative household and cosmetic uses

Soda Stream Teaser

Looking for a wonderful gift for someone special in your family? This is a great gift for someone who not only loves soda but also cares about the enviornment.

Making carbonated water and soft drinks is simple! Turn tap water into sparkling water in under 30 seconds, with no clean-up. Enjoy the freshness and convenience of homemade soda and protect the environment at the same time. No heavy bottles to carry, store at home or throw away. Fizz to your taste and add the flavor of your choice to make your favorite drink. Simple to clean and reuse. With a variety of colors and silhouettes, you'll be sure to find a soda maker to match with any decor.

I also think Soda Stream would be perfect for your upcoming holiday party. When you have a house full of guests and so many different drink requests why not satisfy everyone's taste and thirst. With over 30 varieties of flavors it's so easy to do! Soda Stream offers several regular sodas, sparkling naturals, sparkling waters, sparkling teas, energy drinks, and even caffeine free and diet options. When you purchase 9 SodaMix bottles the 10th one is free.

Crabtree & Evelyn Holiday Collection Review and Giveaway

Closed

Winner #6 holalucia87

Looking for some Christmas gifts or stocking stuffers for that girly girl? Crabtree & Evelyn has some wonderful Holiday collections and gifts. New for the 2011 season products include:

Pomegranate, Argan oil & Grapeseed body care

India Hicks hand care

Pomegranate & Windsor Forest Home Fragrance

Christmas Home Fragrances – Smoky Amber and Golden Topaz

Limited Edition 25th Anniversary Noel home fragrance

La Source foot care spa products

Holiday gift collection including stocking stuffers and gifts under $30

I love Crabtree & Evelyn products and have been enjoying them for many years now. Have you ever walked into one of their shops? If your a bath products junkie like me then stepping into one of them is like a child stepping into a candy store. Not only are they visually beautiful but they have so many products to choose from. From bath and body collections to fragrances and even products for your home. I have no doubt you will find what you are looking for in one of their 6000 plus stores and if you don't find it in one of their retail shops you can always purchase Crabtree & Evelyn products online.

I was recently given the opportunity to review one of their products from their new Pomegranate, Argan and Grapeseed Body and Hand Care Collection.

Inspired by the succulent fruits and nourishing oils of Morocco, this body and hand care collection features rich, replenishing botanical ingredients and natural antioxidants that will leave skin feeling velvety soft and radiantly supple. Each product has been formulated with ingredients that are specially selected for their skin-conditioning properties including pomegranate (long associated with hope, fertility and prosperity), fair trade argan oil, grapeseed oil, pistachio oil and ginger extract.

The first thing I want to say about this Skin Smoothing Body Scrub is that it smells absolutely amazing. The scent is very feminine, it smells clean and fresh and fruity and here's the kicker...I smelled my arm after getting out of the shower and I could still smell the lovely scent on my skin! This scrub contains sunflower wax beads to gently exfoliate your skin and the combination of these beads and the pomegranate, sunflower, jojoba, pumpkin and sesame oils help to make your skin soft to the touch. This is one luxurious body scrub that I absolutely love.

Crabtree & Evelyn would like to offer one Girly Girl reader the chance to win another product from the Pomegranate, Argan and Grapeseed Body and Hand Care Collection, Pomegranate Lip Butter.

Tattooed by Inky Review and Giveaway

Closed

Winner #6, 15, 25

Inspired by the cult of self-expressive body art, Tattooed by Inky spins this phenomenon into a modern collection of fragranced body sprays that celebrate individuality and personal style. The enticing scents in their artful tattoo-graphics packaging invite users to identify with one or more scents and and embrace a personality that lets them stand apart from the crowd.

These body sprays come in 5 distinctive scents, two for women, two for men, and one unisex.

A Mi Amor for Women- A complex blend of white florals, vanilla and amber.

Sudden Freedom for Women- A fresh and feminine bouquet of aquatic florals, pink jasmine and warm rosewood.

Koi for Both- A intricate blend of radiant citrus, ginger and warm patchouli.

Monkey Business for Men- A bold blend of leather, lavender, peppermint and sandalwood.

Drako for Men- Elemental blend of spices, musk and precious woods.

I was given all but Monkey Business for review and when I first saw them I immediately thought these would be a hit with teenagers and young adults. The graphics and artwork just scream young and hip. I also found the trigger spray to be a pretty unique feature that is easy to use and covers a large area. My favorite of the scents was A Mi Amor it is one of the lighter fresher scents for women. The scent lingers for a long time but it is not overwhelming. My least favorite scent was Sudden Freedom. I thought it was a bit stronger then what I like but I suppose that is relative. The Koi scent which is suppose to be unisex I thought had a more masculine scent to it. I actually liked it but thought it smelled better on my husband then myself. Drako one of the scents for men was liked by my husband who is very picky when it comes to colognes and body sprays. Tattooed by Inky body sprays can be purchased at Target for only $5.99 each. These would make nice stocking stuffers for a teenager in your life.

Want to win one of these body sprays? 3 of you will win 1 body spray each. The three scents I am giving away are A Mi Amore, Sudden Freedom and Koi and will be randomly chosen for the winner.

To Enter: Leave me a comment telling me which scent you would most like to try. You can also get extra entries for following GGG through GFC, Subscribing via email, liking us on Facebook and following via Twitter.
This giveaway will end on December 22, 2011. I will choose the winner using Random.org. US entries only.
