Top Five for May

Five-Favorites-for-May

I’m loving all this silky, healing goodness for the start of the spring. While I am whipping my body into shape for some swimwear, I am also working on my skin and hair, wanting it hydrated and still natural looking. So for you today: a little top five round up of what is rocking my world lately.

Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula with Vitamin E Skin Therapy Oil is from one of those iconic drugstore brands but totally revamped to make me fall in love all over again. This oil helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks or just regular ole dry skin. My uneven and ultra-dry legs have been loving this stuff right out of the shower.  The Rapidermal® Absorption Systeme® means just a short wait before you can throw on clothes. Also know this can be used on the face or as a bath oil. Made in USA.

Flower Face the World Tinted Moisturizer is part of Drew Barrymore’s new makeup line exclusively at Wal-Mart. I was tripping over myself to try out the collection, particularly when I heard how it performs luxe at drugstore prices. The tinted moisturizer, available in 11 shades, is a light-coverage, luminous cream. It hides perfections and smooths with out cakey heaviness. Even my dry skin gets plenty of moisture. I can honestly say I have been reaching exclusively for this as my BB Cream/Foundation/Tinted Moisturizer since it landed in my hot little hands.

Tracie Martyn Amla Purifying Cleanser, another gem from Net-a-Porter’s new beauty section, is a ultra-high quality foaming cleanser. The A-list isn’t shy about signing the praises of this cleanser. It gently exfoliates and prevents breakouts while aromatherapy works to relax and recharge. Its namesake ayurvedic anti-aging Amla Extract is rich in Vitamin C while Hawaiian Green Papaya enzymes exfoliate.

POE Pumpkin Perfecter Enzyme Mask might smell very fall but those active pumpkin enzymes are perfect to embrace all year round. The anti-oxidant rich pure pumpkin promotes cellular turnover. The gentle formula would work for more sensitive skin types and can be used up to three times a week.

L’Oreal Advanced Haircare Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm promises to repairs a year of damage in one use – sign me UP! Even though I don’t chemically treat my hair, I have seen some more damage around the ends over the past year. The luxurious balm works to instantly improve the appearance of split ends, rough ends, weakness and dullness. After one use my hair was silkier and shiner. One of the biggest bonuses? My hair wasn’t weighted down. It was still bouncy and full.

Brand Spotlight: POE Purity of Elements Skin Care and GIVEAWAY

 Brand Spotlight: POE Purity of Elements Skin Care and GIVEAWAY // Belle Belle Beauty

So far, my experience with POE has been exactly what this mother/daughter team set out to do: deliver super-charged ingredients for real results with products packed with pure minerals, botanicals and anti-oxidants. While the brand is still flying under the radar, I think it is worth paying attention to the products former Ryka CEO Sheri Poe and her daughter, artist Danielle Birrittella, POE are bringing to the table.

I’ve been using the Daily Purifying Polish and Copper Mineral Moisturizer. I’ve found them both to be soothing, yet active – straightforward, yet elegant. The founders philosophy of balance with transformation shines through.

At first I thought this polish was for use just a couple times of week like my other exfoliators. But actually it is a non-foaming gentle face cleanser with a fresh, fruity scent. The formula is packed with an antioxidant tea and berry blend and exfoliating micro-beads that help to gently remove dead skin cells, greatly helping with my flaky, dry skin. Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil delivers vitamin E, fatty acids and phospholipids, helping retain that all-too-good hydration. Mandarin Orange Peel Extract works as an anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-oxidant while Allantoin soothes skin.

One of my most favorite skin care items I’ve tried lately, this Copper Mineral Moisturizer reminds me of a lotion version of this. The formula is super packed with minerals to fight aging and rejuvinate skin. Copper, Zinc and Magnesium work to boost natural tissue-building processes. This, in turn, builds collagen and elastin. Copper peptides also promote healing by reducing the formation of scar tissue. Vitamin E moisturizes and works as an anti-oxidant. And Vitimin C helps fade discoloration. Like the polish, this moisturizer contains an antioxidant tea and berry blend.
