June Jacobs Spa Lips Review
October 27, 2009 by Karissa
Filed under Info You Want to Know
I have admitted to you all before that I am lip balm, lip quencher- name it anything you want junkie.
My lips are addicted. As soon as I saw this Lip Kit from June Jacobs, I just had to have it!
Paraben and preservative free, This is a three step kit. Fantastic for us addicts. Helps to contour the lips, fight wrinkles, reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles and to keep lip stick from feather (with multiple uses.)
- Lip Scrub: This emollient sugar-based lip exfoliation treatment with nourishing oils and age-fighting anti-oxidants gently sweeps away dead skin cells leaving lips silky smooth. Directions: Apply to lips using a light circular motion and rinse off with warm water.
- Lip Masque: This luxurious masque, enriched with soothing botanicals and age-fighting anti-oxidants, gently soothes, hydrates and protects the lips, leaving them ultra-smooth. Directions: Apply to lips and leave on for two to three minutes and rinse off with warm water.
- Lip Renewal: A lip treatment infused with shea butter, grapefruit and vitamin E that provides instant and continual relief to dry, dehydrated, peeling lips, increases hydration and volume, and reduces the appearance of lip furrows. Revitalizing formula naturally enhances lip structure, improves contour, adds volume and defines the lipline. Active oligopeptide delivers fuller lips by naturally stimulating collagen production.
Again, here I am, trying to pick a favorite out of three winners! The Lip Scrub is great for days that maybe you slept too long? or maybe you had lipstick on all day and it has hijacked your soft lips and replaced them with sandpaper? The scrub is soft, and sweet and removed all the dead skin sitting on my lips with great ease!
The Lip Masque is fun, just for no other reason then having a mask on your lips! Really seems to do a task beyond a normal lip treatment duty!
and the Lip Renewal. This is my new clear lip gloss. It hydrates, is not at all sticky, and once the bulk of it has worn away, my lips still feel conditioned. No bad taste either!
June Jacobs has a whole lot of everything for you if you are looking for luxury, spa and beauty! And well, aren’t we all?
June Jacobs, a world renowned spa visionary for over thirty years, has redefined luxury spa. The couture was inspired by a void within the spa market.

New Pomegranate Line from Weleda! Review and Giveaway
Pomegranate promotes skin renewal while preserving elasticity and firmness – revitalizing and restoring optimal health to dry, mature skin. Weleda’s European holistic esthetician Lilith Schwertle offers insight on the benefits of pomegranate. “As we age, our skin’s own rebuilding functions begin to slow,” she says. “The active ingredients in pomegranate seed oil, including fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants, help encourage your skin’s natural regeneration process.”
Product Features & Benefits
• Slows the aging process
• Organic pomegranate oil is rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins, supporting skin
regeneration
• Preserves skin’s elasticity and firmness
• Protects against skin-damaging environmental influences and free radicals
• Dermatologically tested, and proven to increase skin smoothness, moisture levels and accelerate skin
rene wal
• 100% certified natural by NaTrue – no synthetic preservatives, fragrances or chemicals
Weleda just released three new skin care products in a brand new body care line called Pomegranate Regenerating Body Care that includes a hand cream, body wash and body oil.
Created to rejuvenate and restore radiance to dry/damaged skin, this regenerating body care line is blended with antioxidant-rich organic pomegranate seed oil from Turkey to enhance your skin’s natural vibrancy.
As most of you know I am a huge body oil fan. But most I layer with a lotion, so I am not sticky, and greasy, or I put them on at night. Well with Weleda’s new Pomegranate Body Oil, I don’t have to think that hard, or work that hard! It smooths right in, soaks up and leaves the skin lightly scented with a fresh citrusy type aroma.
Aging and tired skin is revitalized by this renewing body oil. It’s a nourishing full-body treatment that regulates moisture balance and restores your natural vitality with potent antioxidants and essential fatty acids.
Organic pomegranate seed oil contains powerful antioxidants that help promote skin renewal and protect against free radical damage. Organic jojoba seed oil preserves your natural moisture and acts as an emollient, nurturing your skin and improving its firmness.
Dermatological tests show that our Pomegranate Regenerating Body Oil accelerates natural skin renewal by 50% in just two weeks.* Indulge yourself after your shower or bath to renew your youthful, full-body radiance. Experience your body’s timeless beauty day after ageless day.
I can tell you this Pomegranate Body Oil, is something! I have been using it daily for a couple weeks, not quite 2x’s a day, but usually every other day. It fully moisturizes, and I don’t need to use it the next day! It has been great for dry and tried feet too! It is not greasy at all, it really sinks in, and plumps up the skin with moisture, plus the scent is hot! And above all that, it only takes a smidgen! Retails for $28 for 3.4 oz.
Next on my favorite list from this new line is the Pomegranate Hand Cream. Formulated with a unique complex of antioxidants, this nourishing cream prevents the premature formation of age spots, while restoring a youthful glow to your hands. “Organic shea butter, avocado oil and olive oil protect your skin from moisture loss, leaving hands soft and smooth,” Schwertle says. “The hand cream also helps reduce wrinkles and pigmentation.” Hand Cream ($12.50, 1.7 oz)
Dermatological tests show that Weleda Pomegranate Regenerating Hand Cream reduces roughness by 9.1% when used twice daily for four weeks. Studies also sho w that it helps increase the moisture levels in the skin by up to 34% over four weeks.
Mind you, I don’t exactly have rough hands, but this lotion is fantastic. I have been using for a little over 2 weeks, and my nails are longer and stronger and my cuticles are much less rough. I still love my Jurlique Hand Cream, but this one has taken over the spot in my purse!
And the refreshing, wake up Pomegranate Regenerating Shower Wash! So fresh! Moisturizing and clean, plus that fantastic Pomegranate scent that Weleda came up with. It will be the #1 Shower Cream to use in the dark fall and winter mornings!
Blended with a natural fragrance derived from essential oils of vanilla, sandalwood, blood orange and neroli, this gentle shower and bath essential is free from synthetic detergents to softly cleanse your skin without stripping it of moisture.
The aroma stimulates the senses while balancing the body and soul. Schwertle suggests making bath and shower time a spa experience by using a soft loofah. “The loofah gently exfoliates dead skin cells,” she says, “and will also increase blood flow, resulting in soft, glowing skin.” Indulge yourself in this ultra-rich, gentle cleanser. $18 for 7.2 oz.
PLUS if you buy a regular sized Pomegranate Body Product you will receive a FREE travel size!
And Weleda has offered up a complete set to send to one Prissy Green Reader too! I am truly thrilled to share this line with you, as it has taken the sacred front row seat in my beauty arsenal right now!
To enter, head over to Weleda and tell me what other item you would like to try out of the HUGE assortment of products they offer!

Make It Monday! Rosemary Mint Refreshing Foot Scrub & Moisturizer
October 26, 2009 by Karissa
Filed under Recipes: Home, Skin, Food
Refresh hot feet!
I don’t know about everyone else, but the more cooped up my toes are in shoes and socks, the more they ache. I always feel like I need to let the dogs breathe!
So here is a very simple recipe you can use to refresh feet, and keep some circulation flowing!
Rosemary Mint Hot Feet Refresher
Ingredients:
1/2 cups sea salt. (fine)
1/4 cup of Coconut oil (or more if you have sensitive feet)
10 drops of Rosemary Essential Oil
6 drops of Peppermint Oil
Simply mix it all together. Wet feet, and massage in. This should last a few treatments, and feel free to do your legs too! Rinse off pat dry.
So now you have a scrub, but what about a moisturizer?
Same recipe, just subtract the sea salt! This Rosemary Mint Foot & Leg Energizing Moisturizer will make you feel like running a marathon….
Well maybe, but it does feel so good!
TJ Maxx and Marshalls, Review and Giveaway
I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun I had at TJ Maxx a couple weeks ago. I went in, with my $25 gift card in hand, and told myself the only way I would go over that, is for $5 or a winter coat. Notice the OR? Not both.
I walked out with a new winter coat, a sweet Marmot Fleece, a perfect brown sweater and hand weights. Thanks goodness I am a green beauty blogger, or I would have spent so much more on the skincare section.
And thank goodness secondly, that I have already agreed to a handbag review, so I only glanced at them. And yes, i do mean, that I only glanced. I was scared to look!
Let me show you some of my finds! I was snapping pictures left and right!
This sweater is really soft, and comfy. I always buy a sweater in this color to top any outfit that needs a warm up! I wear them out too! Notice is usually retails for at least $70. At Tj’s for only $34.99
And honestly, this picture doesn’t do it justice, but my camera is at a friends house today, so no additional shots.
and I also spotted this Anne Klein Sweater. How pretty is it? I didn’t buy this, but wanted to prove they have hot brands!
And this awesome Columbia coat. I wanted it… but I put it back. It appeared they had one in every size too. Only $49.99, I know these go for about $200. (kicking myself for not getting it!)
I don’t think you can tell from this photo, but this coat is really snazzy. It is quilted, but not too thick and “fluffy.” I have to buy coats that will not attract dog hair, and I fell in love with this one. for $39! Again, this photo really does not do it justice, it is dressier then it appears. I saw plenty of Anne Klein, Nine West, Roxy and more.
And then I also got a half zip Marmot Pull Over Fleece. It is a purple burgundy, and I love it. Already wore it!
They had so much skin care too! I was falling on myself. Organic and natural! Plus yoga mats, and just about any accessory you could want for exercise. I didn’t even attempt housewares. Our house is full!
If you are on a budget (who isn’t?) go get some of the gift sets for skin care, or fragrance for Christmas!
DDF, Borba, Organix, L’Oreal all top price products that they carry for such low prices! hello Origins!
The harder I tried to make it to the Marshalls near me, the more it seemed like I wasn’t supposed to! one day was a bad accident near the store, sat in traffic for an hour. Then the next time, an truck carrying propane hit a bridge and well, blew up. TJ Maxx is down the street, but Marshalls is about 30-45 minutes away, depending on which one. But my plan is to make it there this week and look for some boots.
So Tj Maxx and Marshalls have offered up 1 $25 gift card to each store! Two winners! To enter to win, visit either store and tell me what you would buy, and at which store. Nothing specific, just what you would like to replace. It is a recession mamas, but that deosn’t mean we don’t want to look good!
