ARM&HAMMER Invisible Spray Powders for Foot and Body

ARM&HAMMER Invisible Spray Powders for Foot and Body on Belle Belle Beauty

We had a huge bike race here in Tulsa this weekend which is always a highlight at the start of the summer. Unfortunately for the bikers, it was H-O-T! And not the most comfortable as a spectator either. But it was the perfect excuse to try out my new New ARM&HAMMER Invisible Spray Powders for Foot and Body. Not only can sweat make us feel not so fresh, but it can also be stinky. But this duo kept me dry, comfortable and free of any white stains.

The Body Spray has a cool, unisex fragrance and keeps my underarms, bra-line and legs sweat free. I love the refreshing effect. I’ve been using the foot spray before work and applied it before I put on my sneakers this weekend. During the summer, my feet sweat in my work heels (and always in sneakers) and the Sweat Activated Fresh Guard® Technology is the only thing that keeps them dry and odor-free all day long.

Not the sexiest part of my beauty routine but certainly one of the most valuable.

La Prairie Cellular Energizing Body Spray

La Prairie Cellular Energizing Body Spray on Belle Belle Beauty

My twentieth high school reunion is this weekend. Lots of memories have been flooding back like Sublime the band, Levi jeans with plaid shirts and driving around on carefree fall days during free period. In the beauty department, I remember fruity and sweet body sprays. So much high school style is back for round two these days and I like to think I’d bring back body spray but this time with a little glam.

La Prairie Cellular Energizing Body Spray is incredibly luxurious and a stunning scent to wear on days when perfume feels a little too heavy. Plus, the formula nourishes skin while providing an aromatherapeutic experience. Ruby red grapefruit, cardamom and verbena offer an uplifting scent while providing skin with a light moisturization.

Spray Cellular Energizing Body Spray generously over the entire body for a total sensory experience. Reapply throughout the day, whenever you feel in need of a lift. I’m thinking of stocking up on a second bottle for my desk. How grown up!

FLOWER Body Mists

FLOWER Body Mists on Belle Belle Beauty

I certainly don’t shy away from drugstore beauty. In fact, trolling the aisles of CVS is a pure joy to me. But one of my favorite budget beauty buys is actually from Wal-Mart. Drew Barrymore’s FLOWER Beauty has consistently surprised me with quality.

Her latest foray is in to the bath and body department with four unique Body Mists. I have been reaching for these during pool days or post workout. The four scents are inspired by her fragrances (which I also love). The four options:

Cherished – Comforting and nuzzly floral, captured in a hug of skin musks and powdery notes that surrounds you like a soft cashmere blanket.

  • TOP NOTES:  Morning Dew Accord, Sparkling Cassis, Italian Lemon Blossom
  • MID NOTES:  Iris Petals, Cabbage Rose, Springtime Lily of the Valley
  • BASE NOTES:  Tahitian Vanilla, Clean Cotton Musk, Creamy Sandalwood

Radiant – Striking and confident sparkling floral blooming with dewy greens and freshness.

  • TOP NOTES: Dewy Greens, Sparkling Italian Bergamot, Watery Calone
  • MID NOTES: Cabbage Rose, Pink Peony, Magnolia
  • BASE NOTES: Crystalline Musks, Pink Amber, Blonde Woods

Sultry – Sensual oriental floral that wraps you in a seductive trail of creamy florals, alluring spices and sultry vanilla woods.

  • TOP NOTES: Purple Plum, Cranberry Cocktail, Pink Pepper
  • MID NOTES: Night Blooming Jasmine, Cashmeran, Juicy Blackberries
  • BASE NOTES: Patchouli, Madagascar Vanilla, Sultry Musks

Sparkling Garden – Infused with succulent fruits and an effervescent sparkle for a touch of “happy each day”

  • TOP NOTES:  Frosted Cranberry, Candied Citrus, Iced Pink Peppercorn, Sparkling Pink Champagne
  • MID NOTES:  Raspberry Nectar, Snow White Peony, Pear Blossom
  • BASE NOTES:  Precious Woods, Vanilla Bean, Golden Amber, Cozy Skin Musk

My favorite is the musky Cherish, but Sparkling Green truly is uplifting and I also enjoy the woody, fresh scent. Sold individually for $8.97, Available at Walmart and Walmart.com.

mark Coconut Treat Collection // Belle Belle Beauty

The last throws of summer call for something beachy. And so I am gobbling up the Coconut Treat collection from mark. I’ve already gotten tons of compliments on the scent (guys love it!). The blend is totally tropical with coconut water and mandarin layered with hazelnut and coconut cream. The culinary spiciness also makes it great to transition into fall! The collection includes:

  • Hand It Over Super Moisture Hand Cream in Coconut Treat
  • Get Misty Coconut Treat Body Mist (hydrated and leaves the perfect amount of fragrance)
  • Whipped Up Coconut Treat Body Butter (all day hydration)
  • Sheen Stealer Coconut Treat Dry Oil Body Spray

I’m also loving the 3-in-1 cleanser in Coconut Treat, although it appears to be sold out on line. You can use these as a body wash, bubble bath or gentle daily-use shampoo and they all leave behind a delicate scent. There are lots of other fragrances available in this multi-talented body wash here. Shop the Coconut Treat collection here.

Victoria’s Secret Seduction Dark Orchid GIVEAWAY

Victoria’s Secret beauty isn’t the “frothy confection” it used to be (Revenge fans, see what I did there?). Back in the day, VS Beauty was a collection of sweet, pink and glitter. But today, they offer sophisticated fragrance and some real winners in the makeup department. I already have raved about their body oil (see post here). And now I am swooning over Victoria’s Secret Seduction Dark Orchid.

I’ve been using Dark Orchid perfume, body spray and lotion for a week. The chilly weather was a perfect excuse to test drive a sultry, richer fragrance. Dark Orchid is a blend of Midnight Orchid, Crushed Plum and Oud Wood – making it a kind of provocative, darker scent. Details on the fragrance notes:

  • Top notes: Crème de cassis, blood orange, crushed plum, pineapple blossom, bergamot, yuzu zest
  • Middle notes: Jasmine, red ginger orchid, dark red calla lilies, midnight orchid, muguet petals
  • Dry-down notes: Smooth warm amber, oud wood, tonka beans, amber crystals, cashmere woods, creamy musk

Because of the high drama, I love the option of the fragrance mist (aka body spray). It has a less intense feel. The lotion is hydrating and absorbs quickly, leaving behind just a hint of Dark Orchid. And the Eau de Parfume, in a beautiful square bottle, is intense but not heady. You better bet I will be hunting down the candle.

I’m so happy to share this collection with my readers. Three lucky winners will receive the entire fragrance set. Open to residents in US, Canada and London. Enter using the widget below:

Scent Bar from Target

Scent Bar is a “must see” destination in LA. Adam Eastwood and Franco Wright have developed a reputation of delivering unique and exclusive scents, becoming true fragrance gurus. And all of this is available in their lux boutique with exquisite service. But should you be further than a hop, skip and a jump from LA, hold on…. Scent Bar is the latest company to offer a beauty exclusive at Target.

These scents are wearable, fresh and perfect for every day. Each of the four scents offer a body wash, body lotion, body mist and a shea intense body butter. Use the products together for a longer-lasting scent. Or mix and match! The fragrances are really fruity and feminine, but not unsophisticated.

  • Blush, girly and flirty, is fragranced with notes of sugared peony, cassis and pink champagne.
  • Cabana is the ultimate escape, fragranced with notes of coconut, Tahitian vanilla and papaya. I love keeping the Cabana body mist in my fridge to cool off after a day running around in the heat.
  • Forbidden is an ode to seduction, fragranced with notes of ruby pomegranate, blackberry and amber. Forbidden’s sweet berry will translate nicely into the fall.
  • Sunswept is citrusy and cheerful, fragranced with notes of Sicilian orange, sheer lemon and bergamot.

Keep your eye out for the products, starting at $8.99, this fall!
