I began my subscription in April 2014.
Spring is full of brilliant color. Flashing rays of light and fresh fragrances. It is the season of renewal and, to us, that means time to play up or beauty routine–touching and awakening the senses.
Aromi – Lippie, Red – ★★★
Value, $10
Description: Elevate your style by adding a pop of rich color to your lips. Bright, vibrant, fun-loving and lip-quenching, your new favorite lippie is handcrafted from scratch and formulated with only the finest raw materials.
This is my first experience with Aromi and this beautiful red lippie is full of moisture, color, and good smells. Unfortunately it’s a blue-toned red so it looks like a rich magenta on me. Cue the world’s smallest violin. 😿

Deep Steep – Hand Cream, Grapefruit-Bergamot – ★★★★
Value, $10

Ingredients: Organic Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, Infusion of Organic Herbs; Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Extract, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Organic Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Glyceryl Stearate (Vegan), Glycerin (Vegan), Caprylic Acid (Coconut Fatty Acid), Aroma (Organic and Wildcrafted Aroma Blend), Organic Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Tocopherol (Vitamin E) Natural, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Potassium Sorbate.
Deep Steep is a vegan and cruelty-free company. That means when you get lost looking at their shampoos and conditioners, you can probably order one to try. That’s what I’m thinking about now. This lotion is AMAZING! It smells like fruit loops and feels just like a regular lotion. I’ve tried Weleda, which is a really watery, but moisturizing lotion—whereas this felt just like trying a sample at Bath & Body. A++

Harvey Prince – Hello Fragrance -★★★★
Full-size, $55
Description: Say H E L L O to the chic-est spring fragrance. Inspired by sunshine and gardens of blooming flowers, Hello is the perfect warm weather scent. The energizing blend of citrus and floral notes is breezy, spring-y and perky to boot.
I couldn’t find the sample, because I just went ahead and ordered the full size. That’s what is pictured here. My new favorite scent. I’m terrible at describing scents. I have no idea, I just know it’s delicious!
