Review: Get Fresh Mineral Body Scrub

They Say: Blended with Dead Sea salt and hydrating botanicals, Mineral Body Scrub polishes, smoothes and moisturizes dry skin.

We Say: The number secret to beautiful glowing skin: a great exfoliant. I, myself, am rather inclined to try unexplored brands, so I recently purchased this Get Fresh Mineral Body Scrub in Black Currant (though I really don't know what exactly that is). I'll admit that it didn't change my life, but it certainly got the job done, and no i don't know what the hell a "black currant" is but I do know that it smells delicious.

Review: Jane Iredale Absence Oil Free Primer

Us oily-skin gals just can't get a break when it comes to foundation. Liquids and creams tend to rub off by the end of the day, and powders tend to make our already enlarged pores look even larger.

Jane Iredale's Absence Primer is terrific for managing shiny t-zones. Silica, green tea, pomegranate, and seaweed are activated by body heat to control sebaceous glands; skin stays matte and make-up stays on all day . The product also fills in fine lines, and has SPF 15. It's available in Clear and #2 for deeper complexions.

Review: Black Orchid Body Butter by Shea Radiance

This one's for all of those organic beauty buffs out there. With shea butter being one Africa's best discovered secrets, the creators of Shea Radiance have whipped up some lush concotions with the moisturizer. the richness and creaminess of Black Orchid Body Butter leaves your skin feeling velvety soft. Some people may not be used to the amount of oil and moisture in it, but when you suffer from severe dry skin that has a hard time in the winter, this body butter can feel very soothing. I'd say that for less than $19 this is a wondefully effective moisturizer.
