Hempz Treats as Delicious as they Sound!

YUM.  Santa, please put these in my stocking.
Click here to get them in YOUR stocking.

Confession:  I’m a total Hempz addict.  I have a multitude of lotions strewn across my bathroom, but I’m always reaching for my favorite Hempz Cucumber & Jasmine Moisturizer first.  So, you can imagine my excitement when these delicious treats crossed my desk yesterday morning.  Introducing the Hempz Treats lotions, available in 8 oz bottles and gift bag sets for the holiday season.

And yes, in case you were wondering, they DO smell exactly like you would expect.  The Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake has a warmer pumpkin pie-y smell with a nutty twist, Cranberry Vanilla cake is about as sinfully sweet as they come, Gingerbread Cookie captures the nostalgic scent of warm gingerbread cookies and Coconut Cream Frosting smells like the most divine creamy whipped white frosting you’ve ever had- and it’s my personal favorite.

Like Hempz’ classic line, each Treats lotion is formulated with organic hemp seed oil for instant moisture and long-lasting nourishment for your skin.  We think the consistency is a little thicker than most of Hempz’ lotions, with a creamier feel for drier skin in the winter season.

Essie Mint Candy Apple- Sweeter than Dessert!

So… it’s here.  We were excited, but we didn’t expect to love it so dang much.  What are we all pining over at Beauty of a Site, you ask?  Why’s it’s Essie’s new “it” color:  Essie Mint Candy Apple.

We all were excited about Essie’s limited edition North Fork Collection from earlier in the  year, which featured three blue-ish greenish colors, and when we saw the promotional pictures for Essie’s Mint Candy Apple from her new Sweet Time of the Year Winter Collection, we were expecting something extremely similar, but this was better!

Less bold or blue than Essie Greenport and decidedly more “minty,” one of our fellow bloggers straight up called this the color of an after-dinner mint.  And we’re pretty sure she’s right.

Expect a color slightly  more green than the promotional pictures, a true mint green with a tinge of blue, with enough creamy, milkiness to the formula to make it perfectly wintery.  We found that in about two coats, you can get the even and incredibly unique minty green color you’re expecting.  And alongside Rock Candy & Lollipop, it’s the cutest little holiday collection of nail polishes you’ve ever seen.

And, PS, this color is FLYING off the shelves.  If you love it, you’re certainly not alone.  And if you don’t love it… you should.
