Petunia Essentials Giveaway!

chiefbunny — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:00:34 +0000

Petunia Essentials was started by a woman named MyLynda who, like most of us ladies, loved bath and body products. She got her degrees in mathematics and industrial engineering (!) and then became an attorney. As her allergies became worse and worse, she started making her own beauty products without harsh ingredients found in many mainstream brands. Her friends and family kept asking about the “potions” she was cooking up and they became popular in her inner-circle. Eventually MyLynda chose to follow a new career path she had never dreamed for herself – beauty product entrepreneur!

I love supporting indie businesses whenever I can (I have an Etsy problem) and I especially love supporting women business owners (since I am one!).

A review from a happy customer: “I purchased soaps from this company for my guest bath. This past weekend, several guests commented on the lovely fragrances. We have Brown Sugar & Fig and Lavender. Thank you for a great product.”

Petunia Essentials specializes in hand made, natural and vegetable based, cruelty free bath and body products, including moisturizing bar and liquid soaps, whipped body butters, lotion crèmes and aromatic bath salts. They use hydrating and healing oils like olive oil, jojoba oil, avocado oil and sweet almond oil with quality essential oils, fragrance oils, and botanicals like lavender buds, rose petals, and jasmine flowers. Only cruelty free, natural and safe ingredients are used.

Denise Richards Hair Care Giveaway!

chiefbunny — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:37:29 +0000

Denise Richards is one of my hair idols. What I wouldn’t give to have her long, voluminous locks! I was excited to hear that she now has her own line of volumizing, cruelty free hair products! Produced by veteran hair care brand, Cristophe, Denise’s “Volume Extend” line has the following products: shampoo, conditioner, styling creme, volumizing spray and finishing spray.

The Denise Richards Volume Extend by Cristophe hair care collection is a revolutionary product line with a new technology and product formula which penetrates the hair shaft to actually increase the hair strands diameter; giving the hair amazing beauty, body, volume, and shine. The line is completely paraben, sulfate, and cruelty free.

I loved all of the products. A little goes a long way – especially for the styling products. The styling creme is for damp hair and the volumizing spray can be used on damp or dry hair – great for a mid-afternoon pick me up or after-work happy hour date! It also contains UV protectors, Vitamin C and creatine to strengthen hair.

You really only need a tiny bit of the styling creme, so this is a really cost-effective purchase ($14.99 for 3 oz). Apply to damp hair and then blowdry and style as usual for great volume.

The shampoo and conditioner have wheat proteins, sugarcane, green tea, lemon, apple, sea fennel, probiotics (“good” bacteria) and peptides to boost hair strength and volume. A pretty unique blend of ingredients!

The finishing spray is a hair spray that you can use on your roots to boost volume, set a hairstyle or use when your hair is getting oily and needs a boost!

Pacifica Island Vanilla Giveaway

chiefbunny — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 13:01:19 +0000

Pacifica is hosting a sweepstakes that honors their sexy, new scent – Island Vanilla (try it and/or buy it at Sephora and Sephora.com) – and kicks off Pacifica’s new charitable partnership with Jean-Michel Cousteau’s Ocean Futures Society (a portion of all Island Vanilla proceeds will now benefit this amazing organization). One grand prize winner will receive $200 towards a romantic Island getaway. Twenty runners-up will get a taste of the tropics delivered straight to their door with a full-size Island Vanilla Spray Perfume and Body Butter (a $40 value). To enter, visit the Pacifica Facebook page. The sweepstakes ends February 13th.

I tried the Island Vanilla Perfume Roll-On, Island Vanilla Body Butter and the Color Quench Natural Moisture Lip Tint. All available in the Island Vanilla Take Me There Set for only $18! The scent is Tahitian vanilla mixed with honey jasmine, tea and fruit. It’s very subtle and not overwhelming at all. I think even those who aren’t usually vanilla fans might like it. I like the subtlety of the body butter, but I wish the roll-on perfume was just a tad bit stronger. Definitely something you can wear every day.
