Weleda Holiday Review and Giveaway

I am very happy to have received lovely products from Weleda to review and to be able to give away the same products to two of my readers (one set to each).

First up is this lovely Pomegranate Regenerating Body Care Kit

It comes with

Pomegranate Regenerating Body Oil 0.32 fl OZ (10ml)

Pomegranate Regenerating Hand Cream 0.3 fl OZ (10g)
and 
Pomegranate Creamy Body Wash 0.72 OZ (20g)

I love that Weleda products are all natural and contain nothing synthetic. Instead, you'll find flowers, fruit extracts, herbs and more - all designed to heal, protect and enhance your own natural beauty.  This is what most attracted me to them. Every product I've tried not only feels wonderful but smells wonderful. The aromatherapy to me is a big part of the appeal.

I really love the scent of the pomegranate collection. It's fresh and fruity and a bit tart but the scent is very subtle and natural.  The collection is rich in antioxidants which help protect your skin from damaging free radicals. The body wash is not the high lathering type but is rather sleek and smooth and leaves your skin feeling soft and revitalized.  I love its gentleness yet it is very effective and your senses will love it!

The Pomegranate Regenerating Body Oil contains organic pomegranate seed oil rich in essential fatty acids to moisturize, nourish and help improve your skin's firmness. It leaves your skin glowing and well hydrated.

The Pomegranate Regenerating Hand Cream is a total delight. It absorbs easily and quickly into your skin and smells delicious as it pampers. It rejuvenates and restores your skin's natural health.


The second product I have here to review and giveaway is The Weleda Body Oil Essentials Kit

Purpose: To replenish, balance and protect
What's inside:
 

• Birch Cellulite Oil, 0.34 fl. oz.
• Arnica Massage Oil, 0.34 fl. oz.
• Lavender Relaxing Body Oil, 0.34 fl. oz.
• Wild Rose Body Oil, 0.34 fl. oz.
• Citrus Refreshing Body Oil, 0.34 fl. oz.
• Sea Buckthorn Body Oil, 0.34 fl. oz.

This is a gorgeous festive colorful set with 6 bottles of oils with different scents and properties. You really only need a little at a time and they absorb quickly and easily leaving your skin silky soft. Any one of these would be great to pop in your purse to take with you.

The Birch has a mild woodsy smell and leaves my skin feeling toned and revitalized.
The Arnica Massage Oil has a lovely warmth and helps tired muscles relax and de-stress.
The Lavender Relaxing Body Oil is indeed very soothing and great for sleepless nights. Just a dab was very calming to me.
The Wild Rose has a soft delicate smell and vitamins A and E that are highly concentrated to smooth and soothe.
The Citrus Refreshing body Oil has a hint of lemon and seems to brighten my skin while the smell invigorates.
My favorite is the Sea Buckthorn Body Oil. I've been also using this scent in the body wash and I adore it. It is unlike any other scent I've smelled.  The essential oils are from mandarins, oranges and grapefruits - creating for me a little bit of heaven. It replenishes with antioxidants and vitamins.

Overall, these oils are very nurturing and good for your skin while the aromatherapy soothes your mind and spirit.

I was very pleased with both sets. They are reasonably priced and I've already bought some as gifts and stocking stuffers for the holidays.

As mentioned, thanks to Weleda, I'll be giving away one set of each. 2 lucky readers will each get a different set.

Carmex Moisure Plus Tinted Lip Balms Review & Giveaway

I'm happy to have another Carmex Blog Squad review and giveaway for Strange Daze readers.

This summer Carmex introduced two new Carmex Moisture Plus Tinted Lip Balms with sheer color tints. They've sent me two sets of these tinted lip balms. One is for me to review and one set is to send to a reader of my blog.

I live in New England and it's gotten cold here very fast this year. My lips have been extremely chapped, so I was more than happy to try these products. They sent Pink and Peach tints and both worked very well in keeping my lips very hydrated. They work like Carmex lip balm but reminded me of lip gloss. The color isn't too bright but rather leaves a natural look to your lips - a nice shimmer.

They moisturize very well with aloe and Vitamin E and have an SPF of 15 to offer added protection.
Their sleek, slant-tip applicator made it easy for just the right amount to glide on easily. I also tried them over lipstick and they added that extra touch of moisture and protection. They lasted for a good while and I didn't have to reapply often. They are very sheer and feel great on my lips and the tube is so sleek you can take it anywhere.

I give these tinted lip balms very high marks for both value and performance. They are only $2.99 and can be found at Walgreen's and online at Walgreens.com.

These would make great stocking stuffers this holiday season!

So, lovelies, now on to the giveaway!


For a set of Pink and Peach Carmex Moisture Plus Tinted Lip Balms, simply leave a mandatory entry telling me why you'd like to try these new tinted lip balms.
