Swell Shopping: EO Is Havin' A Sale!

One of my favorite companies, EO, is having an online warehouse sale. They carry a huge variety of products including the Mandarin Spice hand soap that is currently sitting on the counter in my powder room. (Powder room? How proper am I??)

EO Products are made with organic ingredients. For example, their Chocolate & Mint moisturizer, one of my all-time favorite body lotions, is made with Cocoa Absolute and Rice Proteins which are full of antioxidants and flavonoids that help to fight the signs of aging. Other good-for you ingredients include Oat Betaglucan, Vitamins A & D, Mango See Butter, Olive Wax, Jojoba, Calendula, Chamomile, and White Tea.

Normally this moisturizer runs $8.99 for an 8 ounce bottle, but for a limited time, you can get it for $4.99. Click here for a complete listing on the products offered in the warehouse clearance sale.

Swell Smells: Miss Pucci & Marc Jacobs Daisy

I am going to be totally honest here - I'm writing about this purely because I like the bottle. I wish I could see it in person, hold it in my hand, because I'm so intrigued. Is it flat-ish? Is it heavy?

So much goes into the making of a fragrance - no detail is overlooked - and when it comes to bottles, well they can be a powerful selling point. The prettiest bottle I have is a silver version of Marc Jacobs Daisy. I love to shoot it because I can catch a good reflection off of it - lots of fun. In the case of Daisy, you get a whole rang of flankers, too -  pins, necklaces, special edition bottles. Great idea - a collector is going to want all the different versions and someone who might not otherwise try Daisy might be drawn to one of the other versions and think, hhmm I think I need this in a big bottle....

The Miss Pucci is all new modern-version of a Pucci scent and it's available exclusively at Sephora.

Fragrance notes: Sicilian Lemon, Turkish Rose, Comoros Ylang-Ylang, Tunisian Orange Blossom, Arabian Jasmine, Texas Cedar, Florentine Iris, Musk

Swell Skin: Clinique & Breast Cancer Awareness Month

I love to check out the variety of pink-themed Breast Cancer Awareness products that come out every October. I'll do my best to share a good selection this month.  For example, purchase Clinique's Limited-Edition Dramatically Different Moisturing Lotion and Clinique will donate $10 of the purchase price to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The lotion comes in a 6.7 ounce size, with a pink ribbon charmed key chain.


Every Clinique purchase in October, shoppers will receive a free pink ribbon bookmark. If you'd like to make a donation directly to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, then take a look here.
