Body Butter
Snap Judgement: Bliss Blood Orange & White Pepper Body Butter
Bliss Blood Orange + White Pepper Body Butter makes me think of that Tiffany's song from the '80's, "Could've Been."
As in, the fragrance could have been (dare I say, "should have been"?) so much more interesting. Instead, it's a pleasant but relatively straightforward citrus. And while the Body Butter moisturizes beautifully, the fragrance alone would make the product worth the splurge. I wish this had a bit more edge.
Spa at Home Monday: Upper Canada Soap
While I'm sad to see my long Labor Day weekend end, I'm grateful for a bit of spa-at-home time that I had this evening, with Upper Canada Soap's new Naturally collection.
This rich, skin conditioning line boasts botanical extracts as well as all-natural ingredients, oils and mineral complexes. More importantly, the products WORK and they smell divine. My top choice from the Naturally collection is the Body Butter (a steal at $12) - a creamy, thick moisturizer (turn the tub upside down and nothing budges) without a hint of grease. Though fall is nearly here, you can use this Body Butter even on a warm day and you won't feel sticky. A win in my book.
It's available in Wild Mint Lime (a mild lime), Cranberry Moro Orange, Press Olive Avocado, Sweet Vanilla Fig and Warm Honey Nectar, which sounds divine (though I have not tested it personally.)
Also in the Upper Canada Soap Naturally collection are a Coarse Salt Scrub, Lip Butter, Vita-Body Spray, Nourishing Hand & Body Lotion, Nourishing Massage OIl, Wholesome Hand & Body Wash, Foaming Bath Milk, Hydrating Shower Gel and the Whipped Hand Repair Balm. All range from $3-15, so they're quite affordable too.
