Sweet Delight Divalicious Sampler


Sweet Delight is a Canadian sampler that I happened to come across on the internet's high seas. I'm honestly surprised that I haven't heard more chatter about them, as the boxes are always fabulous! It's a combination of handmade goodies and name brand samples (and often full sized products!) and despite being from my Northern Neighbors, the cost is equal to U.S. based samplers. The focus tends to be on bath, body and beauty products with a good dash of jewelry to boot. They only come out every few months and the newest box goes on sale Nov 22nd- if you want to check them out, you better hop on it, cause these puppies sell out in a matter of hours! It's definitely worth it- check 'em out and let 'em know The Beauty Pirate sent ya!
Below is a video to show you a typical box......

Pucker Up, Buttercup!


High Shine and a Plump PoutDermStore Free Samples





Think plump, pillowy lips are achieved through cosmetic procedures only celebrities and the rich can afford? Think again. Hollywood's best-kept secret to Angelina Jolie-esque lips costs less than it takes to fill up a gas tank these days. City Lips by City Cosmetics is a multiple-award winning cosmetic line that's created revolutionary formulas designed to instantly plump lips without the pain and expense of invasive procedures or products that sting and burn.

Its exclusive technology is made up of peptides that naturally stimulate collagen and elastin production while preventing breakdown for full, supple lips that maintain their plumpness with continued use. It also uses dehydrated Hyaluronic Acid Plumping Spheres™, sponge-like spheres that swell to 50 times their size for maximum hydration and lasting volume and smoothness.

The results are undeniable and can be seen in as little as 15 days. In 2004, the Good Housekeeping Research Institute found that City Lips increased lip volume by an average of 3 millimeters, and in 2007, they maintained that City Lips was still the most effective lip plumper on the market.

With the holidays just around the corner, we'd say now is the perfect time to prep up for some mistletoe action with kissably soft, pillowy lips!

Cherry City Makes Absolute Scents


Banner3
What better time to get some of your holiday shopping done and feel good about yourself at the same time?

Broken record time! I've raved about Cherry City multiple times, so they're about due for another shout out! This time I'd like to talk about the perfumery potions available.


They started out with the After Five scent roll ons. They're constantly changing and adding new scents, so you'll never get bored. I do admit to being sad that one of my favorite scents is no longer available, Ginger Lime. Good Karma is still available though, in a whole line of products. "Here at Cherry City, we support causes we believe in, one of which is animal rights. That is why we created Good Karma. 100% of the profits of all items purchased in this scent are donated to the Willamette Humane Society. So what does Good Karma smell like? Top notes of green floral, a kiss of citrus, a tiny hint of sweet melons and a powdery drydown". What it smells like to me is divinity!  These are all vegan, and consist of a fragrance oil in a pure jojoba oil base, so no worries about allergic reactions for those with sensitive skin. Because it's a roller ball, you don't have to worry about spilling everywhere or having it coming open in your bag. Even though the bottles are glass, they're really sturdy too.


Then they came out with mini-misters, which are just TOO adorable! I have two of these, Flapper Girl and Vanilla Lace, both of which are still available. The Vanilla Lace is a deep true vanilla scent with excellent staying power. Flapper Girl is a bit too something for me (my one regret is that there aren't descriptions of the scents) but these are long lasting with a good scent carry. What rocks about these dry oil mists is that they come on a keychain so you always have a backup scent. I have mine clipped onto my purse so that even if I hurry out the door and forget to spritz up, I have a fallback.


Made with mango butter, castor oil, vitamin E oil and fragrance, the pulse Point Sticks are a solid perfume that are perfect for travel, since they're not a liquid. I REALLY want to try the Sweet Orange Cotton Candy and Citron et Fleur!! I've had the Darlin' Clementine before, and I just ADORED it!

Cherry City has absolutely TONS of products, making it a breeze to scent layer while avoiding murderous ingredients. Check 'em out, and tell 'em The Beauty Pirate sent you!
