    New Fragrance by @Rihanna

    Rebelle is the second fragrance by popstar Rihanna, to be launched this Spring2012. Although I’m not a fan of celebrity fragrances, I was pleasantly surprised by the fruity/floral-y scent of Rebelle.  A brighter scent than its darker, deeper counterpart Reb’l Fleur, this perfume hits undertones of strawberry, ginger, plum, cacao, coffee and musk. I love the fresh smell of it that lingers as you pass, and it’s the perfect go-to scent for this season!

    Say GOODBYE to dry skin with @VaselineBrand

    When it comes to skincare, I like to keep it simple, but I’m also VERY particular. My routine consists of black soap and raw shea butter, however, I recently ran out of shea butter, and haven’t had much time to go pick some up. Lucky for me, I received the new Vaseline Total Moisture Lotion, so my worries of becoming an ashy larry were put to rest! The new Total Moisture Lotion is a multi-vitamin moisturizer, that replenishes 100% of daily hydration, along with the essential nutrients that skin needs to be vibrant and feel healthy every day.

    Key Ingredients

    • Vitamins A, E, & minerals – essential skin nutrients
    • Conditioning moisturizers – provide 100% of daily hydration

    I have really sensitive skin so I have to be careful about the products that I use, and this lotion has been really good to me. My skin stays moisturized, soft and smooth all day long, and I definitely wasn’t expecting that. I love the Cocao Radiant (helps even skin tone), and adore the freshness of the Aloe Fresh (perfect for the summer!)

     

    It definitely kept my skin RIGHT during fashion week! No ashiness in sight!

    peace and love

    ♥Bella♥

    ps: Thanks to Vaseline for saving me from becoming an ashy larry!!
