Well, I’ve got the perfect idea for you!!

I’m the mother of two rambunctious boys, and I’m constantly needing to relax and unwind.  When I was sent these two products, I thought this would make the most PERFECT Mother’s Day present!! Who doesn’t need to relax? Who doesn’t love a bath - a bath scented with lavendar, no less!

Make the mothers in your life happy this Mother’s Day with these two awesome products!  I got mine from Planet Beauty, and if you haven’t checked them out yet, stop what you’re doing and go here!

A new definition of calm. Authentic A.O.C. lavender essential oil from Provence and rosemary extract gently perfume, soften and soothe skin. Relaxing aroma helps sweep away the cares of the day. It takes only a small amount of product to create a bath full of bubbles. Attractive matte-silver aluminum bottle is reminiscent of authentic lavender essential oil jugs.

Indulge in a “spa night” once a week. Light a Lavender Candle in the bathroom. Pour two tablespoons Lavender Foaming Bath by L’Occitane under warm running water and enjoy the voluptuous bubbles evoking the beauty of Provence. Cleanse with gently exfoliating Lavender Velvet Body Scrub and, once towel-dried, smooth lush Lavender Body Milk onto moist skin.

I love Anastasia.  The woman has figured out how to perfect the eyebrow! Every time I get new products from Anastasia, I do a little happy dance in my living room.  These two new products did not disappoint!  The Brow Definer, is so perfect. It takes two of my favorite products, the Brow Pencil and the Brow Gel, and puts them together in one product!  It’s perfect!! (Have I said perfect too many times?)

Dual ended Brow Pencil and Brow Gel work together to create perfectly shaped brows. Use the velvety Ultimate Brown Brow Pencil to precisely fill and define. Use the Clear Brow Gel to keep unruly brows in place all day without flaking.

Beauty Tips:

• Apply Brow Pencil using short strokes and a light touch to fill in the brow and extend where needed.
• Withdraw wand of Brow Gel from tube and wipe excess product from around the base of the brush. Stroke gently upward and outward to achieve the most flattering shape.

My family, like many has had to tighten the purse strings after feeling the economic issues impact our paycheck. I have found a few tricks so even while I’m watching the budget I can fit in some of my favorite beauty products.

I am sure this isn’t news to most of you but Walmart has some AMAZING prices on their beauty products. I just hit my local Walmart recently and stocked up without breaking the bank. I was able to get great everyday items and a few fun ones all while keeping in my budget.

Forget the drugstore find your closest Walmart and save on your favorite brands like Neutrogena, Loreal, Cover Girl, Almay, Nexxus and Aveeno!
