Garden Botanika Slip Gloss

August 6, 2009 By Carleenp 1 Comment

Garden Botanika is one of the brands that seems to consistently put out lip products that I like. I recently got a Garden Botanika Slip Gloss in a sample box from My Pretty Pink Box (read review on Beauty and Fashion Tech).

Garden Botanika’s gloss is wonderfully smooth. It is absolutely non-sticky and has a high shine with good tint. I truly love it. With Meadowfoam Oil and Shea Butter, it also moisturizes quite well.

The shade Cranapple (pictured), works well for me. It is not really as dark as the photo and is a nice neutral berry shade.

I often get Garden Botanika products at Ulta. You can also comparison shop for Garden Botanika at Shopzilla.

Garden Botanika Vitamin E Stick

June 3, 2009 By Carleenp 2 Comments

I love Vitamin E sticks for lips. They soothe and smooth and generally protect as well as any balm. Garden Botanika makes a particularly nice one.

The Garden Botanika Vitamin E Stick protects and conditions with Vitamin E and Olive Oil. It also contains Emollient Shea Butter, Mango Seed Butter, Meadowfoam and Sunflower Oil for extra moisturizing. There are no fragrances, mineral oil or lanolin derivatives.

I carry mine around with me for indoor use and particularly love it when I either get a bit wind chapped in summer (you can use this on your regular skin just as well as on the lips) or if I get dry in the winter.

Garden Botanika Lip Scrub, Happy Scrubby Goodness!

June 4, 2008 By Carleenp Leave a Comment

Lips can benefit from a scrub just like the rest of your skin. One gentle way to go about it is with something like the Garden Botanika Lip Scrub.

This moisturizing scrub contains avocado oil and jojoba seed powder. The scrubbing action from it is slight, which is really all the lips need, and boy does it packs moisture! I love the feel of this one, but I have to admit that I would like a bit more scrubbing action, simply because I am one of those who would over do it with scrubs if I let myself.

Garden Botanika recommends that it be followed with their Vitamin E Stick, which I also happily recommend. If you haven’t tried a vitamin E stick before, you should! They are great general conditioners.

Garden Botanika is available at ULTA Beauty, or you can comparison shop for Garden Botanika at Shopzilla .
