Meet My New Sponsor~Apothica! Review & Giveaway!

Apothica is an online beauty boutique, which carries the finest selection of skin care, body care, aromatherapy, and cosmetic products on the market today, including the most natural, organic products available.

Apothica is my new blog sponsor! I am so excited to work with them. They are located in Salt Lake City, so when I made my first order with them it came 1 1/2 days later! I was very impressed. I love to shop for makeup, and it is so nice to be able to browse a website that has every brand around. Oooh, so many choices! I’ve been needing a new blush and a good bronzer, so I choose this one from Laura Geller~

Laura Geller Bronze-n-Brighten - Fair

Tired of orange-looking bronzer, yet want a healthy glow to skin? Laura Geller Bronze-n-Brighten - Fair's blend of colors gives you sun kissed skin while evening out your skin tone. The baked formula goes on natural for a warm, glowing look to skin. Jojoba Seed Oil keep skin hydrated while Vitamin A and E protect skin from damaging environmental factors. Color stays put without rubbing off onto clothes and is oil and paraben free.

Smashbox Cosmetics Brush - Fan #22

For a light-as-air application of your favorite powders, try Smashbox Cosmetics Fan Brush #22. It applies an even, soft amount of foundation, blush, bronzer, or illuminating powder without being too heavy or harsh on the skin.

I’ve never had a fan brush and since I didn’t want to be heavy handed with the bronzer, I thought it would be just perfect, and I wasn’t disappointed! This bronzer is amazing and it goes on so well with the right brush, the fan brush is perfect and it came with a nice little plastic cover.

I also choose a new blush~

Napoleon Perdis Mosaic Blushing Powder w/ Puff

Get cheeky with Napoleon Perdis Mosaic Blushing Powder w/ Puff. The palette contains a blend of complementary colors that add a natural-looking flush without looking fake or caked on. Blushing is a blend of pinks, mauves, and neutral tones.

I’ve always liked a mosaic blush and this one is wonderful. I used the same fan bush to apply it and then I used the puff to blend it in. It is just perfect and I love the big puff.

Fruits & Passion Fruit Body Cream - Pear Peony

Feel completely feminine and fresh with Fruits & Passion Fruit Body Cream - Pear Peony. This sumptuous body moisturizer is both a treat for your senses and your skin. It infuses healing hydration deep into the skin as it scents it with fresh, fruity fragrance.

Because spring is coming and my skin is still feeling dry from winter I choose this wonderful Pear Peony cream from the Fruits & Passion line and I wasn’t disappointed. This cream is wonderfully rich and leaves my skin feeling silky soft and smells like spring!

Fruits & Passion Nourishing Hand Butter - Monoi

Save your distressed hands with Fruits & Passion Nourishing Hand Butter - Monoi. It's a rich, inviting, and completely hydrating formula that's fortified with soothing oils for more comfortable skin. Monoi is ideal for those who want fortified skin that's protected against dryness.

My hands are also feeling the effects of winter and this hand butter from Fruits & Passion is wonderful….mmm, my hands feel and smell so good.

Estee Lauder E/L Pure White Linen Spray

The fragrance to live in all year long. A surprise of red tulips and rosebloom. Snow-white flowers, sparkling raspberry. Pure White Linen steals you away to the perfect summer day.

Before I was married I loved Estee Lauder perfume! Estee Lauder has the most wonderful scents and they last all day. I choose my favorite, White Linen and it brought back so many memories when I put it on.
