How Did I Mix this Up?

Do these two products look similar?

Well, they do look sort of similar. They are both white tubes with black caps, and mostly black print . But why do you suppose I could have been so un-familiar with these products as I put the lip balm around my eyes and mouth and then the Hope in a Tube onto my lips - and then it finally hit me.  "I think I did something wrong.".

Did the scent of the lip balm and the greasy shiny feel of it not give it away? Am I so into a routine that I don't care or actually bother to look at the products I am applying? Or am I completely and utterly, over-whelmingly exhausted???

We should all have these problems - right?  I'm tired!!!

Back to School Beauty - Principessa Beauty Box

Inside every woman is a princess.  And for every Princess there is Principessa Beauty.

I saw these adorable products a few weeks ago at Extracts NY and was instantly smitten. The lovely Trish, creator of Principessa Beauty, saw the love in my post, and thanked me by sending over their signature Beauty Box, called the Bellezza Box.  

Inside this cute as ever black and pink lunch-box tin is an array of Principessa's best selling products, which include travel sizes of the following:
Bacio Me - a pretty pink sweet tasting lip balm
Bagno Bliss - a creamy bath wash
Candela-to-go - a 100% pure VegeSoy wax travel candle
Cattiva Diva - a rich and creamy hand cream
Dolce Dreams - a whipped body lotion
Fresh Fiore - a sudsing shower cream
Principessa pouf - a pink nylon bath pouf

The scent of these products is fabulous. It is very hard to describe, but soft, feminine, and whimsical come to mind. It is one of those scents that every girly girl love.

The box retails for $41.00 and it is truly the best way to try our their offerings. Send your girl a little beauty box when she goes off to school - it makes the bet present for any Princess!

Visit Principessa Beauty to check out their adorable website, and see the numerous celebrity photos they have sharing in their goodies too.

Thanks, Trish!
