The Latest from Kiehl's: Superbly Restorative Argan Body Cleansing Oil.

The latest from Kiehl's is an addition to it's popular Argan collection. This one is very unique, as it is an oil, that actually turns into a creamy cleanser as you use it. Meet Kiehl’s Superbly Restorative Argan Body Cleansing Oil.

As you apply this rich, yet gentle oil to your skin, it becomes a milky treatment to cleanse and retexturize your skin. When using, you will reveal a smoother, more healthy-looking radiance. The cleansing oil is naturally-fragranced with oils of Sweet Orange, Patchouli, Eucalyptus, and Cedarwood.

A bit about Argan Oil. This oil has long been valued by generations of Moroccan women for its ability to help restore elasticity, smoothness, and moisture levels to undernourished skin. The 100% organic Argan Oil used in this cleansing formula is naturally rich in antioxidants, poly-unsaturated fatty acids, including Tocopherols (Vitamin E), and Omega-6 and Omega-9 fatty acids, which are known for having restorative and protective properties on the skin. It has also been shown to help improve skin smoothness and suppleness.

This oil makes a fabulous cleanser, but my favorite use for it is as a shaving cream. It lets me have a super close shave on my legs while giving my skin the smoothest finish ever.

The Argan Body Cleansing Oil is available now online and wherever Kiehl's is sold.

P.S. To be silky smooth all summer long, first use the oil and follow up with their Superbly Restorative Argan Body Lotion!

The Summer Essential Kit by Lisa Curran for Lavanila.

Are you so into summer now that it has unofficially kicked off over the weekend? I am and cannot wait for it to really warm up (why is it only 45 degrees this morning?).

This is a great set to get us all in the mood. Swim wear designer Lisa Curran and Lavanila Laboratories have joined together to create this great beauty of set and they are calling it the Summer Essential Kit by Lisa Curran for Lavanila.

This year, Lisa Curran created a lavender-themed swim wear collection that was inspired by the delicate scent of Lavanila’s new lavender line. The shade of lavender she chose is absolutely beautiful and can be worn by any skin-tone. The Summer Essential Kit includes a choice of select swimsuits from this lavender themed collection and summer must-haves from Lavanila’s Vanilla Lavender line.

The Summer Essential Kit includes:

• One of three lavender-hued Lisa Curran swimsuits

• A Lavanila Vanilla Lavender Healthy Lip Shine

• A travel-sized Lavanila Vanilla Lavender Healthy Body Butter

• A waterproof, reusable pouch (great to tote beach side essentials while keeping them safe from sand and water damage)

The Summer Essential Kit is also for a good cause...with each purchase, Lisa Curran and Lavanila are giving back to The Ocean Project. The Ocean Project is a nonprofit organization that works in partnership with aquariums, zoos, and museums around the world to protect the ocean.

I want it. How about you? Check out the Summer Essential Kit on lisacurran.com where it sells for $175.

Bliss Body Butter Lite.

I love the heavy duty thick feeling of body butter formulations and depend on their effectiveness in the winter months. In the summer, though my body sometimes needs more moisturization from the salt, sun, chlorine and self-tanners, I just cannot indulge in the thicker formulas. They feel too heavy and make me feel almost hot when applying.

Bliss Labs listens to it's customers and saw the need for those of us who still need the moisturization of a body butter but cannot handle the butter consistency all the time. Enter Body Butter Lite.

I have a feeling this lotion will become a staple in my bathing routine. I love how lightweight this lotion is. It seems to absorb into my thirsty skin immediately while leaving it look hydrated and dewy.

Choose from Bliss Lemon & Sage Body Butter Lite or the unscented version, Bliss Naked Body Butter Lite, which I am using. Each version sells for $29 and is available online and at BlissWorld and Sephora locations.
