Friday Favorites: Pumpkin Edition

October 17, 2014 by DetroitDuchess 1 Comment

Since we are in full pumpkin season now, I thought it would be fun to talk about some pumpkin beauty products and get into the spirit of the season! Here are five beauty products that are not only awesome, but smell like pumpkin too!

1. Wen Fall Ginger Pumpkin

You all know how much I love Wen! (If not, check out my original post on the benefits of Wen). I think this is one of my favorite Wen scents.

2. Eminence Limited Edition – Pumpkin Latte Hydration Masque

I’ve talked about how awesome Eminence beauty products are here. They are all natural and you plant a tree with every purchase. Now they are even better because they have a fun limited edition pumpkin masque.

3. Sexy Hair Healthy Sexy Pumpkin Puree Treatment Masque

I thought this would be fun as a hair treatment. Pumpkin has a lot of restorative properties!

4. No Bull Organic Pumpkin Body Scrub

I wasn’t familiar with this brand before, but I love the all organic message. Plus a pumpkin body scrub would be a great pamper product when you need some extra TLC.

5. Senna Moisture Lip Treatment Balm

We all need chapstick as the weather starts to get colder. What better way to hydrate your lips than with a pumpkin flavor chapstick?

What are your favorite pumpkin products?

Friday Favorites: Breast Cancer Awareness

October 3, 2014 by DetroitDuchess 6 Comments

I know sometimes that October can be a little crazy with all of the Breast Cancer Awareness, but I am one person that doesn’t mind. My mom is a breast cancer survivor and she is my inspiration. She is the strongest person I know and I hope that I can be half as strong as she is if I ever have to face the disease. I thought I would share some of my favorite products supporting Breast Cancer Awareness this month and make it my personal goal this month to support research this month. I am going to go a little over five this week, but I think it will be worth it:

1. Bobbi Brown Pretty Pink Ribbon Lip Gloss Collection ($60)

This great set includes four pink glosses including Pretty Pink Sheer, Pink Tulle High Shimmer, Bright Lilac and Soiree Pink Shimmer. Bobbi Brown will donate $12 of every sale to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

2. Tory Burch York Small Buckle Tote ($245) and Tory Burch Kerrington Zip Continental Wallet ($185)

Tory Burch is donating 20% of these purchases to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation up to $35,000. I LOVE the wallet so much!

3. La Mer Breast Cancer Awareness Hand Treatment ($45)

This is the most luxurious stuff out there and would make a wonderful gift. La Mer is donating a portion of each purchase to the Breast Cancer Research Fund.

4. Stella & Dot Strength Bracelet ($39)

100% of the proceeds from this adorable elephant bracelet benefits the Noreen Fraser Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for women’s cancer research and creating awareness of the importance of early detection.

5. Smashbox Limited Edition Breast Cancer Research Be Legendary Lip Gloss ($20) and BCA Photo Finish Foundation Primer ($36)

$5 from the primer will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, it is unclear how much of the proceeds of the lip gloss are donated.

6. Gaiam Forever Pink Yoga Mat ($21.98)

I’ve previously mentioned my 100 Day Yoga Challenge and it would be fun to get this mat to use for October. $1 from every mat purchase is donated to breast cancer research.

7. Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Breast Cancer Awareness Eau de Parfum Rollerball Duo ($45)

I’ve talked about how the Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Deodorant is one of my favorites and it is awesome that Donna Karan will donate 20% of the proceeds of this sale to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

8. Coach Legacy Sport 2014 Breast Cancer Awareness Watch ($298)

Coach is donating 10% of the purchase price of this beautiful watch to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

9. Eminence Sweet Red Rose Whip Moisturizer

I’m a big fan of Eminence and even more so now that $5 from each purchase will be donated to the Breast Cancer Foundation.

10. 2013 ONEHOPE California Chardonnay ($18.99)

Now you can have your wine and donate too! Half of the proceeds of the One Hope Chardonnay go to fight breast cancer.

11. Clinique Pink with a Purpose Long Last Lipstick ($16)

$3.00 from this purchase will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

12. Nine West Tatiana ($79)

I think I may have saved the best for last – at least we are changing up the color! Nine West partnered with Fashion Targets Breast Cancer to create a limited edition shoe, the Tatiana. With or without this particular shoe, Nine West will donate $10 to FTBC for every blue “shoefie” you post to Instagram or Twitter using the hashtag #9WFTBC. I think the only blue shoes I have are my wedding shoes, so I will have to kick it off with that.

What are you doing to support Breast Cancer Awareness this month?

Keep Your Skin Looking Flawless with Eminence

June 3, 2013 by DetroitDuchess 1 Comment

About six months ago, I was introduced to a new skin care line out of Hungary called Eminence Organic Skin Care. I was looking for a new line of products and this intrigued me.

Eminence is a line of all-natural organic products that has been around since 1958. What better ingredients to use on your skin than what’s found in nature? Everything smells amazing and I love all the different flavor choices.

Eminence is environmentally friendly and for every product sold, they will plant a tree. How cool is that? For the amount of beauty products I use, I will contribute to a lot of trees.

A number of celebrities use Eminence including Dita Von Teese, Madonna, Mena Suvari, Jessica Biel, Stacy Kiebler, Cher, Katherine Heigl, Jennie Garth, Amber Valetta and many others.

Eminence is mostly sold in spas, but I have been buying my products online at Amazon. There are a number of spas in the area that have the line in stock. You can check the spa locator to find the closest one to you.

I am still experimenting with the line, but these are the products I have tried so far and love:

Eucalyptus Cleansing Concentrate ($22)

This is for oily to combination skin and includes eucalyptus, lavender, camphor and a soap base. I really like this for my skin – it is gentle and doesn’t dry my skin out, but it is strong enough to keep my oily skin in check. I also love the eucalyptus smell in the morning.

Eucalyptus Cleansing Concentrate

Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant ($38.08)

Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant

This is a rice-based exfoliant for all skin types and contains strawberry, rhubarb, lactic acid, rice, chickpea flour, thermal mud, oats and Biocomplex (an antioxidant mix). I like to use an exfoliant every day and this is gentle enough for me to do that. I tried mixing it with the cleanser at first, but it didn’t mix very well so now I just use it separately after I cleanse my face. You need to get some in your hand and wet it a bit before you rub it on your face. I think this has really improved the texture and brightness of my skin.

Mimosa Champagne Tonique ($25.55)

Mimosa Champagne Tonique

I hadn’t used a toner in years, but I wanted to get my skin care process back on track and I knew I needed a toner. I loved the ingredients in this one and it was perfect for normal to oily skin. It contains champagne grapes and orange essential oils. It just sounds so indulgent, I love it. It comes in a spray bottle which makes it really easy to use. You don’t have to pour the toner on a little beauty pad, you spray it directly on your face.

There are a lot of other Eminence products that I would like to try and as I do I will review them. Have you tried any Eminence products? Which ones do you like?
