Carmex Healing Lotion & Cream Giveaway!

I received a Carmex Healing Lotion set to get my skin winter-ready.  The people at Carmex know a thing or two about moisturizing too. Just like their fantastic lip balm the healing lotion and cream are thick but not greasy.  They absorb into your skin quickly and leave behind no residue just soft, smooth skin that doesn't become dry again in no time.  I love that there is no menthol scent either.  Just a light, slightly vanilla scent to them.  The healing cream is best for those really rough areas like your heals too.  It's done wonders with mine after a long summer outdoors.  The set includes-

1 Carmex Healing Lotion
1 Carmex Healing Cream
1 Travel size Carmex Healing Lotion
1 Travel size Carmex Healing Cream

I love that it comes with two travel size pieces because as busy as I am this is a great way for me to test out a product.  I can keep one in a purse and another in my car. The full size tubes are slim and don't take up a lot of room in my bathroom drawer, cabinet shelf or in my gym bag.  It's perfect!  I think that the set makes a great teacher gift too. 

Check out the Carmex website for more healing, moisturizing options as well as coupons!  You can purchase the Carmex Healing products online at drugstore.com or at your local Walgreens, Target and other fine retailers nationwide.

L'Occitane Pivoine Flora

Fun Find- L'Occitane products are always a good find.  When they debut something new I usually want to test it out not just read the press release.  The Pivoine Flora line is no different.  The light, smooth and super creamy texture of the lotion ($36) is divine.  It has a fresh peony fragrance that is delicate and sweet, but not too sweet.  I love the jar that it comes in as well. It looks beautiful on my bathroom counter.

The Pivoine Flora line isn't just lotions, creams and scents but also ballet-inspired make-up.  There are bronzers, shadows, cream blushes ($16) and lipsticks.  I have found that the abricot cream blush (shown) is perfect for summer.  It's light in texture and goes on smooth. You simply can't add too much.  It blends so well and gives a nice summer glow to my cheeks.
