It’s been some time since I’ve finished up a whole container of body lotion or cream so that’s why I’m a fan of samplers like this BOOTS Extracts Mini Body Butter Collection.

Australian Lippie Connoisseur Poppy King just partnered up with the BOOTS 07 line to create a line of, what else, lipsticks and lip glosses called The Magic of Lipstick. She is on a tear these days! A collab with Kate Spade an J. Crew and now this one. The line is made up of 7 lipsticks and she was inspired by the 1930s with the packaging and named them after why she sees lipstick as magical.
Shown here:
Number Two – Power Lipstick is sheer raspberry
Number Three – Glamour Lipstick is sophisticated pink
Number Four – Seduction Lipstick is a deep wine
As far as the formulas, they look pretty strong in the tubes but they are pretty sheer overall if you look at the pictures of the three I tried here. $9.99 @ shopbootsusa.com.
Here is a bit of info I bet you didn’t know, Poppy’s middle name is Cybele!

I am pretty in love with this Grape, Olive & Nectarine Moisturizing Lip Butter ($6.99 @ Target stores nationwide) from the Mediterranean collection from BOOTS. The pot is a pretty big .5oz and it not only smells divine, the ingredients are grape seed oil, olive oil and nectarine extract, to name a few. And this is one that lasts on lips longer than the normal balms. Is that because it’s a butter? Hmmmm…
Do you find yourself always on the hunt for the perfect not-too-sheer-not-too-chalky nude lipstick? I think I’ve
found it in BOOTS’ No7 Stay Perfect Lipstick in Angel ($9.99 @ target.com). It’s a little on the pinkier side of nude so it’s totally YLBB.
Alas, we come to the end of our four-part feature on great products that contain HONEY as an ingredient. Did you know that dark-colored honey, like buckwheat honey (didn’t even know there were different varieties), has higher levels of antioxidants than the lighter-colored varieties? Think of it as white bread vs. wheat bread. Check out some of these other posts from this on-going feature to see even more benefits of honey. Amazing!
In closing, here’s an interesting fact about honey: One common misconception about honey is that when it gets cloudy and crystallizes, it has gone bad. This is not true--in fact, all honey will crystallize over time. The rate of crystallization is determined by the makeup of the nectar. Some honeys will crystallize in just a few days, while others will remain liquid for years. If honey begins to crystallize, it can be liquefied by placing the container in hot water for about 15 minutes.
What girl doesn’t love flowers? Here are a few products that exploit some of my favorite scents ever.
Dry skin got you down? SANCTUARY Body Moisture Spray from UK’s BOOTS is a really light oil infused with vitamin E, jojoba oil and almond oil. In the depths of winter, it’s nice to apply a light moisturizer and still reap the benefits of a heavy one. $9.99/8.4oz @ cvs.com
Sometimes, I just want a basic creamy lipstick. Moisture Drench Lipstick ($9.99 @ boots.com) from UK line, BOOTS, is that basic lipstick. It’s smooth and slightly moisturizing. Color pick #75 Sugar Plum.
UK line, BOOTS, knows what a woman likes and wants, lush body products! They have put out several sets and all are reasonably priced. Our pick is the Boots Fresh! Selection Box. It contains full sizes of their Sweet As Honey Bath Milk (9.4oz), Strawberry Surprise Body Cream (4.7oz), Chocolate Fix Body Wash (4.7oz), Banana Bonanza Bath Crystals (1.7oz), Pink Grapefruit Swirl Soap (2.6oz) and a cute apple looking body polisher sponge. $14.99 @ CVS stores.
Think purple is too much for some occasions? Then try its cousin Mauve. In addition to purple wine, green moss, and nude shimmer, mauve is kicking up quite a storm in fashion this fall. The best trait about the shade is that is can be a focus color or blend in the background. Here are our picks for our fourth color pick for the fall, Mauve:
