Spongelle Launches Wild Flower Bath Collection:

Ooooh! How cute are these flowers bath product infused sponges from Spongelle? 

Spongelle has such a innovative idea! The brand is known for their Body Wash Infused Buffers® - an all-in-one beauty treatment that eliminates 6 of your bath products at once: Loofa, Body Wash, Smoother, Massager, Moisturizer & Exfoliator! With one-of-a-kind fragrance blends, the line also includes hand creams, body lotions, diffusers and mani & pedi buffers.

This new launch is perfect for the Spring season! Introducing the Wild Flower Collection of Body Wash Infused Buffers®.

The Scoop from Spongelle:

Inspired by rolling meadows of organic florals, the Wild Flower Collection (vegan & cruelty-free) channels the resilient beauty of its namesake. Wildflowers are free spirits, destined to appear in the unlikeliest places in every color and scent. These colorful flowers are designed to cleanse, exfoliate, massage and nourish the skin, from neck to toe in scents like Beach Grass, Papaya Yuzu, Coconut Verbena, French Lavender, Freesia Pear, Bulgarian Rose, Honey Blossom, and Sugar Dahlia. Each exfoliating buffer sponge combines time-release technology with a built-in body wash infused with quality moisturizers and cleansers. Embedded herbal extracts - yuzu, edelweiss, and vetiver- will leave your skin fabulously clean, smooth, and hydrated.

Seriously, these are adorable! They smell amazing and look so cute hanging in your bathroom. They are adorable as gifts, too! With Easter coming up and also Teacher Appreciation Week, these are super gift ideas!

How is your Holiday Shopping coming along? For today's installment of my ongoing Holiday Shopping Gift Guide, I am featuring a beautiful eyeshadow palette from CARGO's Holiday Collection. It is absolutely the perfect gift for the makeup lover in your life!

Namastay in India | Blockbuster Eyeshadow Palette:
From the Holiday Collection, I got to try out the gorgeous 44-pan Blockbuster Eye Shadow Palette. This is seriously a neutral eyeshadow lovers dream palette. There is a beautiful variety of both warm and cool neutral shades ranging from light to dark and from matte to shimmer. You can create endless neutral eye looks with this beautiful palette!

So often, when I get a huge eyeshadow palette like this, I love it...but, in reality, how many of the shadows am I going to use on a daily basis? That is certainly not the case with this palette. Let's face it ya'll. I pretty much wear neutral eyeshadows on the daily. So, this palette is going to get some serious use from me! I absolutely adore it. The shadows apply and blend like a dream.

Namastay in India | Swimmables Eye Pencil Kit:
This amazing long-wear eye liner stays put through anything! It is waterproof, sweatproof, and swim proof. The ultra-creamy, richly pigmented formula glides on effortlessly for precise lining. Once set, liner is waterproof and smudge proof!

Now, I didn't get a chance to try out the exact Namastay in India Kit. However, I was able to sample an assortment of the Swimmables liners and find them to be fabulous. I have such a hard time with eyeliners as my eyes are very sensitive and are very prone to watering. The good news is that these stay put beautifully on me!

The Collection includes a black, grey, eggplant, and bronze shade. Retails for $25.00 for the kit of  4 liners.
