If you caught my post called My Top 10 Random Gifting Guide for Holiday 2013 + Giveaway! then you probably got all excited about the Get Fresh products I’ve been prepping to review! I have two sets to show- both of them are amazing gift ideas for year round. I think these hold a special place in my heart because they donate a portion of their proceeds to Military charities that help Wounded Warriors transition successfully back into civilian life. Keep reading to see my thoughts on the Get Fresh Look Better Naked body set in Grapefruit & the Get Fresh Warrior Princess Foot Kit in Blackberry Vanilla & an awesome discount code!

First let’s talk about the Get Fresh Look Better Naked body set in Grapefruit. You get three products inside an adorable (& definitely reusable!) drawstring bag. The bag itself is super cute & made of kind of a washcloth fabric on the outside & that waterproof bright blue fabric on the inside. It feels nice & durable & has the the words “look better naked” printed on the outside. So cute!

 photo GetFreshSpaGrapefruitLookBetterNaked3StepBodySet04_zps2a3e0632.jpg

Inside you have three body products- mineral body scrub, body mask, & rich body creme. I love the grapefruit scent for a full body care kit, it is so invigorating & smells so cleanly feminine to me. This set is meant to exfoliate then detoxify then moisturize dull, dry skin. Yes, so perfect for this time of year! The scrub is wonderfully creamy & dreamy but also probably about a medium exfoliation. It isn’t too rough but definitely noticeable. I haven’t used a body mask in absolutely ages so this was a total treat! After the shower I used the body creme which is very rich & sinks into the skin without leaving a greasy feeling. Love this set!

Next we have the Get Fresh Warrior Princess Foot Kit in Blackberry Vanilla which comes in a super cute case! I love that both of the “packaging” on these sets are reusable, waste not! You can read about the donation information (this is a photo of the included tag) which is nice to remember. The size of this set is larger than a pencil case in case you were wondering, I know sometimes it is hard to tell! Each tub is 2 oz.

 photo GetFreshWarriorPrincessBlackberryVanillaFootPedicureSet04_zps17afb5d4.jpg

I was nervous about this scent because some vanilla scents are quite artificial but this is fantastic. I absolutely love the somehow sexy but also calming scent combination! This pedicure kit has a sugar foot scrub, intensive cream, & a moisturizing cream. Pictured above you also get a pumice stone! Ah, I am so thrilled with this scent, completely unexpected for a pedicure set!

I hope you found this post helpful, I loved these items & wanted to make sure you knew that while holiday shopping! Speaking of shopping, the great people at Get Fresh have given my readers a 20% off code! Just use code STEPHANIE upon checkout! That’s an awesome value! If you’re opting to give these as gifts don’t forget to talk to the recipient about the awesome charity work Get Fresh does. I always love hearing about that when I get gifts! Obviously this would make a great self-gift too! 😉

L’Occitane Shea Hand Care Products Review

November 5, 2013 By StephanieLouise 268Leave a Commenthttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2013%2F11%2Floccitane-shea-hand-care-products-review.htmlL%27Occitane+Shea+Hand+Care+Products+Review2013-11-05+18%3A11%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2013%2F11%2Floccitane-shea-hand-care-products-review.html

My hands are constantly in the public view- mostly you guys!  I am constantly scrubbing pots & pans, using loads of pure acetone, & have eczema to go along with it. Basically my hands aren’t ever where I want them to be smoothness & moisturization-wise. I mean, that’s life right? Sometimes life just happens & it happens to fall into my hands. I have a new not-so-secret weapon to share though- the L’Occitane Shea products. Keep reading to see why you need them in your life!

 photo LOccitaneSheaHandCareProductsReviewDrySkin04_zps83e099a1.jpg
 photo LOccitaneSheaHandCareProductsReviewDrySkin05_zpsc3328c97.jpg

Let’s start with the L’Occitane One Minute Hand Scrub since that is step one. You have 3.5 oz of product in a twist top jar & a little plastic spatula to scrape out product. This scrub contains organic sugar & shea oil plus it doesn’t contain parabens, synthetic dyes, or phthalates. This jar is pricey at $22 & you might be calling me crazy but listen up- this is the most moisturizing yet effective hand scrub I’ve used yet! The shea really helps soothe my eczema & nearly cracked areas of my hands while sloughing off the roughness. You don’t need much at all & I’ve been using it about once a week (on Monday mornings to start my week out right!) & have definitely seen a difference. I followup with the next two products.

 photo LOccitaneSheaHandCareProductsReviewDrySkin03_zpsf5b98d59.jpg

If you aren’t familiar with L’Occitane then you probably aren’t all that into hand lotion. I am. I have several of these nifty silver tubes throughout my purses/household & have used their lavender lotion before bed for over a year. The L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream is enriched with 20% shea butter & also contains coconut oil & honey + almond extracts. I personally don’t think this blend is for the normal handed folks out there- this is for dry hands. This is a bit thicker & richer than my other L’Occitane lotions & is perfect for the weather coming round the bend. This one takes some rubbing in because it is so thick but it is worth it- you’re left with oober soft hands & no greasy residue.

A completely new to me product is the L’Occitane Cuticle & Nail Cream. From L’Occitane- This cream contains soothing shea butter, anti-oxidizing carrot oil, softening honey, and antibacterial myrrh essential oil. Smooth over cuticles and nails before manicuring, to improve the appearance of hands. I normally use oils on my cuticles but this is actually a thinner lotion texture. I apply this last to target the cuticles & even my nails if they’re bare. I like that the applicator has a fine tip so that if I’m in a hurry I can just swipe it in the general nail area but if I’m taking my time I like to smooth it out with my brush. I’m not sure if I’m totally converted away from my oils but I do like that this doesn’t leave oily residue so it is perfect if I need to slap on gloves this winter or if I’m photographing asap.

 photo LOccitaneSheaHandCareProductsReviewDrySkin02_zpsdb73578f.jpg

Overall, the shea line from L’Occitane has really impressed me. I’ve been having loads of allergy issues lately & the shea is a really soothing, calm scent that doesn’t bother me at all. I always like the packaging of L’Occitane products & that I can’t actually read the ingredients. These don’t contain any of the baddies that I try to avoid on my skin so I’m always happy with that!

Have you tried anything from L’Occitane lately? Are you digging the shea line?

Aveeno Active Naturals Calming Body Wash & Daily Moisturizing Lotion Review

October 29, 2013 By StephanieLouise 278Leave a Commenthttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2013%2F10%2Faveeno-active-naturals-calming-body.htmlAveeno+Active+Naturals+Calming+Body+Wash+%26+Daily+Moisturizing+Lotion+Review2013-10-29+13%3A45%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2013%2F10%2Faveeno-active-naturals-calming-body-wash-daily-moisturizing-lotion-review.html

So Beauty Box 5 was kind enough to send two full sized Aveeno products for me to try & I’m always excited to share Aveeno with people. For those who don’t know, Beauty Box 5 is a monthly subscription with 5 beauty related products that I review here on the blog. You can see the October BB5 box where the mini Aveeno was featured here! If you love your skin to feel amazingly healthy while not putting in much effort just keep reading!
I have itchy, allergy prone skin. I know this isn’t pretty but there you have it. There are weeks where I can only use something fragrance free because I’m having an allergic or stress reaction so I always have to have something like that on hand. I also have eczema & although I usually know it is coming on by my undereyes I also end up with patches on my arms. It is embarassing & frankly makes me sick to think about. I really hate it.

So when I’m having a crazy week like above I start switching out products which is why it can sometimes take me awhile to review certain skin/body/hair products. Out goes the new & in comes the fabulously reliable products. One of those since like 7th grade (wow, Aveeno & I have been having an affair for a long time!) is definitely the Aveeno Active Naturals Daily Moisturizing Lotion. In fact, my parents (both of which have skin irritation, eczema, or arthritus) both use Aveeno products so I’ve had Aveeno products sprinkled throughout both my childhood home & my own. Fragrance free lotion, soothing oatmeal for my allergic reactions, & it doesn’t leave my skin feeling irritated or greasy which is amazing. I honestly can’t say enough good things about this lotion…in fact I had better stop because I’m trying to convince you to buy it & if you haven’t gotten the point yet…well just try it!

The Aveeno Active Naturals Positively Nourishing Calming Body Wash is new to me & contains Lavender, Chamomile, & Ylang-ylang for a seriously soothing bath or shower. I’ve been looking for something like this that smells calming for night time but that isn’t full of fragrance that will give me a headache. This body wash is the perfect mix, lightly scented while not being overbearing. The body wash lathers nicely & doesn’t leave my skin tight at all so it has moisturizers for my normal to dry skin. I also found that using a cap or two in the tub for a calming bath was just enough scent to be soothing without making my head pound. Definitely a new favorite!

Have you tried Aveeno products? Any favorites? Don’t forget to check out Beauty Box 5 for more great beauty finds!

Udderly Smooth Kicks Dry Skin Out of the Picture!

Do you have dry skin? Maybe even eczema? Are you looking for something with little to no scent? Well then this review is definitely for you! Udderly SMOOth (ha that name lawl) products were originally designed for dairy cows but were so fabulous humans stole them for personal use. Okay…maybe that is extreme but really humans can’t let anyone have anything to themselves huh? All of the products I’m showing you today kill dry skin & totally saved me over the past few weeks. Keep reading to find out why you need these in your life!

 photo UdderlySmoothLotionsforDrySkinReview02_zpsaddd85b8.jpg
 photo UdderlySmoothLotionsforDrySkinReview04_zps5468f4a1.jpg

Udderly Smooth Udder Cream– This is an ultra thick cream with barely any scent. I use this on my elbows & any spots that are ultra dry or have eczema. This cream doesn’t irritate the skin at all & actually soaks into the skin instead of sitting on top like some balms do. The bottle size is somewhere between a hand cream & body lotion size so I can throw it in my bag & will definitely be needing it for the cold, dry months ahead. Also…weird note…I’ve been nauseous & semi-sick recently (not pregnant, promise) & anything scented really made my head hurt. This was perfect!

 photo UdderlySmoothLotionsforDrySkinReview03_zps6eef4645.jpg

Udderly Smooth Body Cream– This is similar to the Udder Cream above but a bit thinner & in the tub format. I like this type of packaging for right after the shower when my hands are wet & I don’t need tubes flying out of my hands & all over the bathroom. This doesn’t leave me greasy & I actually don’t have to use as much product as some of my others to get better moisturization. This also has a really light & neutral scent so it doesn’t clash with perfumes & such.

Udderly Smooth Shea Butter Foot Cream– So rich & thick! This cream is an amazing overnight treatment with some fuzzy socks! I’ve been trying to repair some of the summer sandal damage so this was a savior. The scent is neutral so if your spouse happens to need some too…no problemo! If you happen to have a significant other like mine you might have to wait until they are dead asleep but this product definitely works while being a very neutral scent.

You can purchase Udderly Smooth products from Walgreens, Drugstore.com, & the Udderly Smooth website. Everything is really reasonably priced so these are a bargain. Who knew cows had such great taste?

Arices Sugar Scrub in Notion Review

September 1, 2013 By StephanieLouise 327Leave a Commenthttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2013%2F09%2Farices-sugar-scrub-in-notion-review.htmlArices+Sugar+Scrub+in+Notion+Review2013-09-01+13%3A09%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2013%2F09%2Farices-sugar-scrub-in-notion-review.html

So in case you missed seeing my review & rave of the most beautiful soap ever…go look I’ll wait…I also have another couple of products from Arices to share! Today I’m talking up their sugar scrub in Notion which is luxe & smells like nothing else in my stash!

 photo Arices06_zps7bcbfcc8.jpg
 photo Arices02_zps40158aef.jpg

There are a few options for scenting but I went with Notice & I’m so glad I did! Notion is described as “Warm sunlight in a meadow. Soft grasses beneath you. With exotic eucalyptus and romantic lavender dancing across your skin, a notion finds you. Subtle and fleeting, you’re left only with an impression. This lightly scented sugar scrub transforms your shower into a fragrant oasis.“. I love lavender everything & oddly enough really enjoy eucalyptus. My husband & I both have allergies so I’m constantly looking for something to open my head up a bit in the morning. This is perfect because I like using a scrub a few times a week to really exfoliate.

 photo Arices012_zps953a5c4f.jpg

This isn’t a harsh scrub but more of a maintenance type texture. I love the little wooden scooper that comes in it, so cute! This is also super moisturizing which my poor, dry skin really appreciates. This is packed with numerous oils including argan, almond, & eucalyptus oils. You get 16 fl oz which should last you quite awhile as well since it is finer & packed with oils so it spreads really nicely.

Overall very happy! & so are my allergy ridden sinuses! What do you think? What you favorite bath type scents?

NEW Seriously Cool Soaps from Forever Polished

Soap! If you don’t use it…well then I really can’t help you. But if you’re a soap lover like me you were likely drawn in by the colorful top photo. Soap just looks so cool right? Forever Polished by Ashley is expanding into some bath & body products so I have some to share! I’ll tell you more about these cool new products below!

 photo ForeverPolishedBathProducts04_zps91756d99.jpg

So from what I can see on the Forever Polished site which you can view here I believe she is putting up products as available. She even has some I haven’t tried (Strawberry soap!) so don’t be shy, especially since the 3 I tried were fab.

 photo ForeverPolishedBathProducts08_zpsa3e4f435.jpg

My favorite is just a lemongrass scent. Pretty, yellow, with some fun curling swirling details. Simple but clean. 

 photo ForeverPolishedBathProducts07_zpsc3da3eab.jpg

This beautiful tie dye soap has cute little blue feet on top & gold glitter throughout. If you’re a fan of LUSH products, this is close in scent to Karma. Very pretty obviously & if you like patchouli you’ll love this!

 photo ForeverPolishedBathProducts06_zps87b82bd1.jpg

My last soap is a pretty orange & tangerine which is a mix of lemongrass & green tea. With gold glitter! Pretty!

Obviously because these are 100% handmade products your colors & such will vary. That’s just how original products go! She might change up colors & such as she finds her footing but from what I can see, she has a good things going! I like the scents a lot because they are a bit unexpected. I’ve had offers to review a lot of body products lately & while I love a good girly scent here & there…something is to be said for something clean & even multi-sex.

What do you think of these soaps? Do you love handmade body products too?

Soften Your Skin with Suave + Enter to Win!

I absolutely love Suave® products. You’ve seen them here before & you’ll be seeing a lot coming up as well! Seriously…they have transformed my hair! Anyway, back on the topic of softening up dry skin! Today I’m sharing two products foolproof for summer skin! I’ve been using Suave Naturals Mango Mandarin Body Wash & Suave Skin Solutions Smoothing Body Lotion with Cocoa Butter & Shea for the perfect one-two punch!
Everyday life can be rough, but Suave® Body Care is helping women everywhere realize that it doesn’t mean they have to be. The brand is teaming up with TV host, author and mom Wendy Williams to encourage everyone to Unlock their Softer Side, from their skincare routines to their mindsets.

 photo SuaveProductsSoftenSkin01_zpsf03491bd.jpg

Starting out with the Suave Natural Body Wash in Mango Mandarin, I’m in love! This definitely beats out other orange based body washes I’ve tried because it doesn’t smell fake at all. Instead, it smells like peeling a fresh orange. All zesty & crisp…yum! Then you get a touch of mango on the end. The combo is wonderfully crisp & energizing. This body wash is enriched with mango & mandarin extracts plus Vitamin E, so it cleans skin without stripping it. I prefer to use this with a pouf in the shower! If this scent isn’t up your alley, then you might like some of my other favorites like Rainforest Fresh, Milk & Honey Splash, & of course, Everlasting Sunshine. You can see my rave about the Suave deodorant in Everlasting Sunshine here with a completely unique scent!

To moisturize my dry skin I’ve been turning to Suave Skin Solutions Smoothing Body Lotion with Cocoa Butter & Shea. I love these types of scents, a bit warm & tropical smelling but not overpowering. I prefer these types of scents in the summer especially because I can layer it with other scents I tend to lean towards for summer. I find perfumes & body sprays with tropical type bases (such as coconut, mango, & lime) blend really nicely! The reason I prefer this body lotion (besides the scent obviously!) is because it is nourishing without being greasy at all. I find I can layer it onto drier areas throughout the day if needed & it leaves my skin soft & smooth.

Basically, Suave has my body care covered. I love that I can find the products locally from multiple retailers as well, so I don’t feel bad about stocking up! Suave fans can find out their softness score, check out Wendy’s tips, & have the chance to win a free product at here.

This floral soap is the perfect addition to any bath set. Everyone can enjoy this soothing oatmeal bar. Delicately scented with rose, it is evocative of tradition with modern and soothing lavender heightened with citrus. Bursting with real dried flowers, this soap is a delight.
 photo Arices03_zps321a114b.jpg
Check out the gorgeous wrapping job! It arrived in perfect condition & it even has a beautiful wax seal. Seriously classy. I love the scent, it is delicate & girly without being too feminine. I love the addition of the rose petals for the pop of color too!
I think this is a beautiful gift. This would be an awesome hostess gift, teacher’s gift, or maybe for mother’s day. I used the bottom of the soap to test…I couldn’t stand the idea of messing it up! That is seriously the only “flaw”… that it is possibly too fabulous. Arices LLC sources all their ingredients from American suppliers which is also nice since I feel like I’m supporting a lot of small businesses. You can purchase this & other lovely items from their online shop.

Radiantly You All Natural & Organic Beauty Products Review

When it comes to body products, results are everything. Does it moisturize? Does it do what it is supposed to? Does it come in scents I like? Radiantly You is a company founded by Melissa Brown, a Certified Holistic Health Coach and expectant mother. The items are organic & natural so you can feel good about loading up. I have a variety to share with you today so keep reading to learn more!

About Radiantly You:  Radiantly You was built by Melissa Brown, a work-at-home momma (mother to Noah – 2yrs old, Liam – 10 months old, and future baby girl – due June/July 2013) who followed her heart and her passion. Our company believes strongly in women having the opportunity to stay-at-home with their children WHILE making a fair, reasonable wage and doing something they love – we think every woman should get that option! Behind the scenes, maintaining the handcrafted quality of our products, are wonderful WAHM’s who are doing what they love AND staying home with their children. Feel good knowing that every purchase you make is going to support families across the country that are doing just that – building their own dreams.

I received 4 products to try out & I’ve been doing just that over the past few weeks! I feel like I now have concrete opinions about each product so I’m going to share my thoughts. In the ingredients, the items with a * are certified organic.

Radiantly You Amber Vanilla Whipped Body Butter-
Exotic Amber combines with warm Vanilla to make an amazingly scented whipped body butter. You won’t find a better body butter out there – nourish your skin with only the finest ingredients! 
Nourishing you with: Unrefined Shea Butter*, Expeller-Pressed Coconut Oil*, Amber and Vanilla Fragrance Oil

 This is definitely a strange texture for me, it is truly whipped! It even looks a bit fibrous in the container! I’m not usually a big amber fan but this smells warm & inviting, something I’d like more in the fall. It is very softening & blends into the skin nicely!

 photo RadiantlyYouBodyProducts02_zps96266ade.jpg

Radiantly You  Vanilla with Lavender Bud Sugar Scrub-
This Sugar Scrub is just what you need to remove dead skin cells, nourish the new skin and seal in an amazing softness for the day! With a gentle Vanilla fragrance with the tiniest hint of Lavender, it’s the best start or end to a fabulous day! Our scrub isn’t just made with oil either. Every granule is coated in melted glycerin soap – a nourishing way to also cleanse your skin while you exfoliate! Glycerin is an ingredient left out of almost all “store shelf” soap — but it is such an important ingredient when healing the skin! Glycerin acts as a moisture barrier, blocking and sealing in moisture. It also is very healing to people with skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. It even slows the appearance of wrinkles by locking in essential moisture!
Nourishing you with: Cane Sugar, Pomace (Olive Oil), Glycerin, Lavender Bud* and Essential Oils of Vanilla and Lavender

This is a very calming, soothing scrub. I used it on mainly my arms in the bath before bed. It is quite floral with the buds in it, something I didn’t expect. It is kind of crumbly, I prefer something with a bit more oil but it was very nice.

 photo RadiantlyYouBodyProducts01_zps3707fd28.jpg

Radiantly You Natural Herbal Decongestant-
Perfect for year round, this petroleum free, 100% natural vapor salve is safe for the entire family. Great for easing cold/flu symptoms and sinus/respiratory congestion.
To apply: Rub thin layer on chest and/or throat. Even massage into the bottoms of the feet or a dab under the nose. For young children, use on chest and throat. For external use only.
Healing you with: Grapeseed Oil, Local Beeswax, Eucalyptus*, Lavender* and Peppermint* Essential Oils, Vitamin E

This is probably my very favorite product & I’ve been using it every day! I’ve been really sick & congested so this has been a life saver. My favorite part is that unlike some brand name decongestants, this can go directly under my nose. Normally they burn your skin so this is incredibly handy! It is like a thin balm so it will last a long time. This would be great if you have children as well.

Radiantly You Organic Mint Chocolate Lip Balm-
Treat yourself to our AMAZING Organic Mint Chocolate Lip Balm! This lip balm is just the right amount of mint, chocolate and cocoa. Not too soft and not too hard, this balm goes on well and leaves just the right amount of tint (thanks to the organic cocoa).
Nourishing you with: Beeswax*, Expeller-Pressed Coconut Oil*, Unrefined Shea Butter*, Local Honey, Cocoa*, Peppermint Essential Oil*

This looks like your average balm, tube & all, but it is definitely a bit different. For one, it smells like a piece of raw mint chocolate. Love it. There is also a slight hint of color. I love organic lip balms because naturally you’re going to ingest something you put on your mouth.

I bought it. Affiliate links.

Whenever I’m in TJ Maxx I tend to walk out with something. Sometimes a nail polish other times a plate. This time, however, was a scrumptious body butter. The Nip + Fab Pistachio Sundae Dry Skin Fix Body Butter is something I’ve never seen before. How do I know this? Because I wouldn’t have been able to pass it up! Keep reading for my full review!
First…let’s talk about pistachios. I love them. For 100 day in Kindergarten…I brought pistachios. When I buy pudding? Pistachio. I love the taste & the smell so when I spotted this tub I really had no choice! This was $4.99 at my TJ Maxx & it was sealed. I pretty much refuse to buy anything not sealed there. There was one opened so I did get to smell it beforehand. I think that is important. If you don’t already know what pistachio products smell like, smell it beforehand or make Jell-O brand pistachio flavored pudding.

 photo NipFabPistachioSundae02_zps5a586883.jpgThis body butter appears very thick upon first touch. It isn’t the thickest but it does lean towards that end of the spectrum. The butter kind of heats up in my hands & applies evenly. So incredibly soft on my skin, it melds really well. This scent also lasts a long time & smells kind of warm. I really need to use some of my summer scents since…it is summer…so I’m going to save some more of this for fall. It will be tough, I really like it. It makes me think of my grandparents who always made me pistachio pudding.


You can purchase the Nip + Fab Pistachio Sundae Body Butter from Drugstore.com & they also have Mango Smoothie, Cherry Tart, & Coconut Latte as well. This is a UK based brand so I’m unsure where else to get it. Like I said, I got mine from good ‘ol TJ Maxx.

Do you love pistachios too? Are there any random scents that bring back memories for you?
