Find Your White Tea Moments with Elizabeth Arden: 

White Tea Fragrance Collection

Looking for a new scent? This NEW tea-inspired White Tea Fragrance Collection from Elizabeth Arden smells soooooo good! 

Elizabeth Arden encouraged me to share my #WhiteTeaMoments. As a busy stay-at-home Mom/Beauty Blogger...I typically keep going and going and going. I need rituals like tea time to take a break during the day. A break to be in the moment and just enjoy myself and my time. So, thank you Elizabeth Arden for encouraging me to take some time for myself. We all need that time, right? What better way than a hot cup of tea and an extra spritz of your favorite fragrance. There is no question that Elizabeth Arden's White Tea is my current fave. A spritz of this lovely scent is a little treat to myself! 

The White Tea Fragrance from Elizabeth Arden features crisp and sparkling Italian Mandarin complimented by sensual notes of Sea Breeze Accord. The overall effect is pure, exquisite, and uncomplicated. It is sophisticated and feminine with both a lightness and a sexy muskiness. I think that this would be a lovely year-round signature scent. 

Top Notes:

Italian Mandarin, Clary Sage Essence (no wonder I love this scent...I am obcessed with Clary Sage essential oil), Sea Breeze Accord, and Japanese White Fern

Middle Notes:

White Tea Extract, Mate Absolute Paraguay, White Iris Accord, Sapucaya Atmospheric Accord

Base Notes:

Madras Wood, Ambrette Seed Absolute, Tonka Bean Venezuela Absolute, Ambermax, Trio of Tranquility Musks 

This is a scent for the woman who truely wants to find her moment! I am wearing this everyday lately and just love it! If you are looking for a new scent, be sure to check out Elizabeth Arden's White Tea Fragrance Collection.

Makeup Wars: Favorite Travel Products

I Bought It Affiliate Link/Referral Links Press Sample/Blogger Ambassador

It is time for another Makeup War!!!

This week the Makeup Wars bloggers are sharing their favorite items for travel! While I do have some favorite products that I always travel with which I will share with you...I do have a packing secret: I load up my travel toiletries bag with goodies from my various Beauty Sample Subscription boxes!!! As my loyal readers know, I have a bit of a healthy obcession with Beauty Sample subscriptions. So, I have no shortage of travel sized products in my home. Even those good ol foil packet samples of shampoos get used when my family goes on trips!

The Hold Me "Middle Sister" Bag:
Before we dive into my product recommendations for travel, lets talk about my newest travel makeup bag: The Hold Me "Middle Sister" bag!

From previous travel packing posts, ya'll know that I love the classic Hold Me bag (perfect for a long trip) and the Hold Me Mini (ideal for a weekend getaway or even your everyday purse makeup bag). Well, the Hold Me company now has a size in the "middle": the Middle Sister! It really is just the "right size" for a short trip (longer than a weekend). The Hold Me bags are great because you can tuck away your makeup flat in the zippered compartment and there is an area to keep your brushes organized, too! So, you don't have to pack an additional brush roll. The quality of these bags is just stellar. Plus, they really protect your makeup and keeps everything super organized and in its place. I adore these bags and think that this "Middle Sister" bag is a perfect addition to the Hold Me line.

Makeup Wars: Winter Lip Rescue: Products and Treatments for Soft and Smooth Lips!

  Affiliate Link Press Sample/I Bought It Myself

It is time for another Makeup War!!! This time the Makeup Wars bloggers are sharing their favorite products for Wintertime Lip Rescue! I don't know about ya'll, but my lips really suffer from the dry air of Winter. I need the absolute best-of-the-best products to keep my lips soft and smooth. Here are my Hands-down favorite products for soft and smooth lips!

Makeup Wars: Lip Rescues: Products & Treatments with Reviva Labs, LUSH, Elizabeth Arden

LUSH Santa's Lip Scrub: LUSH's lip scrubs are the only lip scrubs that I use! I have tried a variety of flavors and really have loved everything so far: the BubbleGum, Popcorn, and currently the Santa's Lip Scrubs. I must try the Mint Julips flavor next! The LUSH Lip Scrubs are sugar-based scrubs with softening oils. To use, you just scrub them on clean lips and then lick off. Easy-peasy! :)

Aquaphor Lip Repair + Protect Broad Spectrum SPF Lip Protectant: This is my current go-to daytime lip moisturizer/protectant. For daytime, I insist on a lip balm with SPF (even in the winter!). This moisturizing balm has all of the wonderful healing powers of Aquaphor (love that stuff!) in a convenient little tube. It instantly soothes and softens my lips. Love it!!!

Elizabeth Arden 8-Hour Cream: OMG! I know, I can't stop talking about this amazing multi-purpose ointment. It is quite simply a miracle in a tube. I apply it every single night without fail to my lips before going to bed. If I wake up at all in the night (which happens often when you are pregnant, lol), I apply it again. I first discovered this product after my first baby when I was really suffering from the dry lips that can accompany breast-feeding and post-baby hormonal changes. This was the only thing that helped back then and I still swear by it now. No, I am not crazy about the taste/smell. However, I can deal with that with how well this product works (and I hear that there is an un-scented version available, too). I am on my 3rd tube of this and will repurchase it forever! Plus, it is not just for lips! You can put it on any dry area that needs healing or protecting!

Reviva Labs Vit E Oil Stick: I love this Vit E Oil stick from Reviva Labs! I keep this stick in my purse/diaper bag for on-the-go use. It contains a blend of natural oils and vitamin E. Sometimes I like to layer this under the Aquaphor Repair + Protect or I use it on its own. The oil really seems to sink into the lips to penetrate and moisturize. Plus, it is not just for lips!
