Fresh Citron de Vigne Body Lotion and Bath and Shower Gel

Joanna Canton — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 17:10:38 +0000

The name Fresh truly says it all! The Citron de Vigne scent is so fresh! It’s such a lovely, bright and lively scent. Very refreshing! It is a citrus scent that is inspired by France’s Champagne region. The Body Lotion is so moisturizing. It leaves my skin feeling silky smooth. The Citron de Vigne Bath and Shower Gel and Body Lotion both contain moisturizing shea butter and antioxidant rich vitamins C and E. The Bath and Shower Gel has a perfect lather and it also leaves my bathroom smelling so lovely after I’ve used it. Don’t you love it when the scent of a fabulous product you use in your bath or shower fills up the bathroom and you can enjoy that scent as you finish getting ready for your day? I love that! I’m such a huge fan of Fresh. My best friend, Lisa, introduced me to Fresh several years ago and I’ve been praising their products ever since. I’ve yet to find a Fresh product that I don’t like. And the Citron de Vigne scent is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. Such a beautiful and light citrus scent! Also, it’s a perfect scent for this time of year. When you’re showering after a long, hot summer day…you’ll really enjoy pampering yourself with the Citron de Vigne Bath and Shower Gel. As I said…it’s so fresh. Beautiful products! Enjoy!

Citron de Vigne Body Lotion 10 oz $22.50
Citron de Vigne Bath and Shower Gel 10 oz $18.50

Fresh Creme Ancienne Eye Cream

Joanna Canton — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 16:55:47 +0000

Fresh has created a new eye cream that defines quality. Made by hand in a monastery in the Czech Republic, Creme Ancienne Eye Cream is all-natural. This is the richest eye cream I have ever used. It contains oils and waxes that act as a protective coating on the skin and seal in moisture. Even with such a natural formula, Creme Ancienne Eye Cream has wonderful anti-aging properties. It’s incredibly nourishing. I love using this eye cream at night, before bed. When I wake up in the morning, the skin around my eyes is just as moist as it was when I applied the eye cream the night before. The moisture really lasts. It makes me feel like my eyes were protected and pampered all night long. One of the key ingredients of the Creme Ancienne Eye Cream is sugar apple seed extract which helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It also contains chamomile oil and beeswax, two natural anti-inflammatories. Goodbye puffy eyes! With a long list of fabulous natural ingredients, this eye cream has a very lovely, subtle scent. I always love the smell of Fresh products. I’m a big fan! A little tip: When I apply the Creme Ancienne, I also dab it on any dry spots I might have on my face at the time. For me, it helps those little dry patches. It’s very soothing. Enjoy!
On a side note: If you happen to have a Fresh store near you, I highly recommend visiting Fresh and adding your name to their mailing list. Fresh sends out the absolute best cards for complimentary samples of their products, with no purchase required. I love that! Trust me, if you’re on their mailing list, you’ll always get excited when a new Fresh card arrives. It’s a fabulous unexpected treat and a great way to try a new product before making your purchase.

Product info: For all skin types.

Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment

Joanna Canton — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 14:43:09 +0000

I’m throwing my very own skin care celebration for the new Rose Tinted Sugar Lip Treatment. Seriously! I’m sending out invitations and having a party for this one. It’s as if Fresh read my mind. It takes a special product to warrant re-posting a review just because it came out in a tinted version. But, oh my god, Sugar was already a show-stopper. Now, I have to have both of the Sugar Lip Treatments. I mean, if I had to choose (”Sophie’s Choice”) I suppose I’d go for the Rose right now…but when you’re as addicted as I am to this stuff…you simply MUST have both, in your purse, at all times. So, I’m re-posting my previous Sugar review to celebrate and announce the new Rose Tinted version of Fresh’s Sugar Lip Treatment. And let me just say…it’s the exact same product, just as perfect…but now it has a perfectly perfect pink tint to it. You have to have one! No really, you have to. It’s vital!
Same price, same ingredients, same love affair with Fresh!

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment

Warning: Highly addictive. A must have! I have one in my purse and one in my nightstand. I reach for it throughout the day and end my day with it after my evening skin care routine. It’s hard to write any kind of review for this product when all I want to say is that “it’s perfect” and “buy one today”. As much as I use my Sugar, it still seems to last longer than I ever expect it to. It’s a light, non-sticky, smooth moisturizer with a slight lemony scent. It has a glossy finish with a silky feel. It was given to me as a gift and I have been addicted to it ever since. One of it’s ingredients is real sugar. I love that! And to top it all off, I adore the chic packaging of this product. Buy one for yourself and one for your best friend. It makes a great gift. You can’t go wrong. It’s that good!

Product info: SPF 15 with vitamins A,C & E for extra protection. Contains reparative oils and waxes.

$22.50

My Current Makeup “Must Have’s”

Joanna Canton — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:21:19 +0000

Greetings glamour-puss! So many amazing products to choose from! I’ve been having such a blast with my makeup lately. For the most part, I’ve never worn a lot of makeup. I’m most comfortable with a clean face, keeping things very natural. But, on the days that I do wear make up, I want to use the best products that I can find. I’ve been feeling very inspired lately and I’m having so much fun trying new products. There are a few products that I am absolutely loving right now. Check them out!

Clinique: I simply cannot get enough of my Clinique Vitamin C Lip Smoothie. It looks and feels great. And I LOVE the applicator. It’s a super soft brush that glides over my lips with ease. I love the application process with this one. I love everything about the Lip Smoothie. It’s found a new home in my purse. Highly recommend!

Estee Lauder: Loving my Estee Lauder Shimmer Powder in Pink Shimmer. Goodbye simple blush…hello shimmer powder! Estee Lauder has never looked better. I love this powder. It’s absolutely perfect for me. It has a very subtle hint of shimmer and gives my cheeks a nice, healthy glow. Love it!!!

Fresh: I’m having a blast with my Supernova Mascara. It’s a fabulous mascara and has the best packaging EVER! Such a fun and artsy looking tube of mascara. Supernova has a very full brush that makes my eyelashes look fantastic. Super sexy eyes! I’m a huge fan of Fresh but this is the first time I’ve used their makeup and I’m loving it. Also, I’m still loving the Sugar Lip Treatment by Fresh. (previously reviewed) Sugar is always on my “must have” list. It’s the absolute best. I don’t leave home without my Sugar Lip Treatment. Love it, love it, love it!

Murad: I previously reviewed the Murad Acne Treatment Concealer. I’m still loving it for the times when I have a little something to cover. It blends well and does a nice job of helping to get rid of blemishes. It’s a great addition to your makeup bag. You never know when something’s gonna pop up that you’ll want to cover and treat at the same time.

What makeup are you using that you absolutely love? What’s on your “must have” list? I want to hear all of your glamour-puss details!

Fresh Soy Face Cleanser

Joanna Canton — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 02:00:45 +0000

I love the cucumber smell of this face cleanser from Fresh. It’s fantastic. I’m hooked! It’s smells so good and refreshing. It makes me look forward to the next time I’m going wash my face and get to use it again. Soy Face Cleanser has a crème-gel texture and is very gentle. It really softens my skin. My face feels so revitalized after I use this. Very clean and fresh! Not only does it contain cucumber extract, great for hydrating, but it also contains rosewater which helps to balance the skin. This cleanser is packed with good stuff and makes my face feel so smooth. Soy, a potent antioxidant, influences elasticity and also helps to protect skin. I’m a huge fan of Fresh and I highly recommend trying this face cleanser. I am just absolutely loving the soothing cucumber scent and the effect this cleanser has on my skin. Enjoy!

Product info: Ideal cleanser for all skin types.

Fresh Sugar Soap

Joanna Canton — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 02:00:28 +0000

First of all, just look at the packaging. To die for! Such a treat to give to yourself and such a wonderful gift to give to someone else. I love the way this soap smells. Mmmm….sugar! Honestly, this is the never-ending bar of soap. It lasts such a long time. The bar itself feels like silk in your hands. Unlike many other bar soaps, I feel confident that this one won’t dry out your skin at all. It has shea butter in it, which is a great moisturizer. It leaves my skin feeling very soft. My Sugar soap was given to me as a gift and I waited almost a month to use it because I didn’t want to disturb the packaging. That’s how much I love my Sugar products. Treat yourself!

Product info: Triple-milled, pure vegetable soap.
