Heavenly Nose Part … Four

What do you think when you smell a pleasing beauty product? I seem to assume that if it smells nice, it must work, right? Wrong! There are a lot of them out there that yes, they smell nice, but belong in the trash. Here’s our last installment of products that not only perform up to par but also smell heavenly.

1. C.O. BiGELOW new Body Wash in Wild Berry ($12/10oz @ cobigelow.com) from the Village Perfumer Body Care Collection
2. NOAH’S NATURALS Rosemary Mint Conditioner ($10.99/10oz @ noahsnaturals.com) from the Organic line
3. AROMAFLORiA Teakwood Foaming Body Wash ($20/8oz @ aromafloria.com)
4. BOOTH’S Shea Butter Cream Bath ($6.99/16oz @ drugstore.com)
5. LiNDEN LEAVES Ginseng and Orange Blossom Crème de la Crème Body Butter ($25.95/7oz @ lindenleaves.com)

My Upset Skin

My skin is sure killing me these days because it’s so dry this time of year. I have a humidifier on every night and that won’t visibly help my skin, especially on my legs but C.O. BiGELOW’s Derma Remedy Intense Dry Skin Therapy Both Lotion ($18/6.7oz) will. This hypoallergenic concoction is for really dry, chapped and overall bummed out skin and claims to provide a moisture barrier for more than 24-hours. Got eczema or psoriasis? These will really help those conditions too. Part of the trio of products is the Derma Remedy Intense Dry Skin Therapy Medicated Treatment ($16/2oz), that will treat cracked skin, which thankfully is not quite mine, but it's good to know that it exists. Use either one of these with the Derma Remedy Intense Dry Skin Therapy Body Wash ($16/6.7oz) and really protect and heal your skin. Spring can’t come soon enough! All three @ bathandbodyworks.com

WAKE UP!

INVIGORATING! ENLIVENING! STIMULATING! MOTIVATING! New from C.O. BiGELOW is the Mentha Body Collection. We loved their Mentha Lip Shine so much, it’s in our Hall of Fame. If this new collection doesn’t tingle each follicle on your body, I don’t know what will. Each contains real peppermint oil so see if your skin can stand it by using each one consecutively.

Mentha Exfoliating Body Soap - $7.50/7oz ** Mentha Smoothing Body Buffer - $14/8oz ** Mentha Tingling Hand Soap - $10/10oz ** Mentha Vitamin Body Lotion - $14/8oz ** Mentha Vitamin Body Wash - $12/8oz ** Mentha Tingling Foot Cream - $14/4oz  All @ bigelowchemists.com

File This: The Most Unique Product EVER

The C.O. BiGELOW Peach Nut Oil Liquid Soap ($15 @ bigelowchemists.com) is an 18-in-1 soap not just for the shower. The formula doesn’t give a lot of lather and you have to use quite a bit to cleanser but that's not a problem since the bottle is a big 7.5oz. And the scent? A really light hint of peach that isn’t overpowering or un-natural smelling.

Here’s the interesting part - Not only can it be used for both the body and hair, but other parts as well. As in, other parts of the house! Straight from the label on the bottle, and I quote, “laundry, floor cleaning (floor cleaning??), jewelry cleaning, stovetops, car washing, boat washing, and the strangest one, surf board washing.

Now when anyone tries to tell me about a great all-in-one? I’ll just mention this one and case closed.

Mint Lips Sink Ships

I hate to be a bandwagon jumper but the C.O. BiGELOW Mentha Lip Shine ($5 @ bathandbodyworks.com) IS the best three-in-one moisturizer on the market. Normally I’m not jazzed about products for my lips that have mint in them but this one has just a touch so it doesn’t irritate at all and it's quite soothing. Welcome to the Hall of Fame!
