I have to admit, I’m all about the packaging. When I saw the four bottles in the Pattern collection, I loved it and just had to try it. With scents like Cucumber, Eucalyptus, Citrus, and Black Pepper, I wasn’t surprised to find that these products were just as amazing as the packaging. Doubling as a body wash and shampoo, these long-lasting bottles will have a permanent stay in my bathroom.

Pacifica has done wonders in their candle collection, and I loved their Nerola Orange Blossom scent so much that I decided to try it out as a body butter. The scent was intoxicating, and I got so many compliments for it! I’m definitely looking forward to trying out their other fragrances, like French Lilac, and Tuscan Blood Orange.

You may have heard of Poppy King’s new book, Lessons of a Lipstick Queen: an inspirational story about innovation and hard work. But have you tried her line of high-quality lipsticks and lip glosses? After sampling the new Oxymoron matte lipstick line, the only question I’m left with is: Is there anything Poppy can’t do?

Bamboo and charcoal might be two words you don’t hear too often while on the topic of soap, but these two ingredients are more important than they may seem! mi SPA’s bamboo charcoal soap is known for its detoxifying qualities, as well as the ability to unclog pores and exfoliate the skin. With lovely patchouli and lemongrass scents, this soap is definitely worth a try!

Being a long-time MAC-lover, I always keep up with their newest collection. I’m especially loving the Cool Heat collection because it’s packed with bold, intense pigments. Eye shadows come in a brilliant pallet of blues and greens, and Slimline lipsticks come in a sizzling selection of pinks. Better grab this Limited Edition collection before it’s gone!
