currently loving: c. Booth Mimosa Honeysuckle Body Souffle

when it comes to my skin, keeping it nourished and moisturized is important. when a product works well, the next thing that makes or breaks my decision to keep using it is the scent. this c. Booth Mimosa Honeysuckle Body Souffle not only keeps my skin feeling soft and smooth, but it smells incredible!

i'm all about floral and citrus-infused scents, so this blend of mimosa flower, coconut, grapefruit and orange were happy-making from first smell. with it's tropical, bright and sweet fragrance, this soufflé is fabulous for summer. the rich blend of oils and skin soothers melts beautifully in to my skin and never feels heavy, so i love using it even on the hottest days.

there's so much in this body soufflé to pamper you and your skin, so you should discover it for yourself! find the c. Booth range of products at Ulta and Rite Aid {i've seen it at CVS as well}. to find a retailer near you, visit freemanbeauty.com

beauty review: Eclos Daily Facial Cleansing Oil + Aqua Balm Finishing Mist

exclusively formulated with rejuvenating apple stem cells, the new Eclos {a freeman beauty brand} Aqua Balm Finishing Spray has been making this beauty girl very happy. clinically tested, this skin-improving formula has easily become my go-to final step in my current makeup routine; i love how it does what it promises, leaving my skin hydrated as well as looking fresh, smooth and shine-free all day.

on the other side of the skincare spectrum, also from Eclos, is the brand's Daily Facial Cleansing Oil. this beauty also contains apple stem cells, along with oils of argan, kukui nut, olive and sesame to nourish, hydrate and gently remove dirt, pore-clogging oils and makeup. the light scent is pleasant and it soothing, especially at the end of the day…

my favorite drugstore beauty buys 9.26.08

wow, is it just me, or did the week just fly by?

i can't believe the next time i do a drugstore beauty post, it will be october! i think what my mother told me is true: the older you get, the faster the years go by...sigh...

oh well...let's get to the good stuff, shall we?


this week it's all about the feet! i have some amazing products that i love, and they keep my feet look fab between pedi appointments...


Freeman Bare Foot Softening Foot Soak in Peppermint & Plumb will not only soften your feet, but you'll get an amazing zingy sweet fragrance to go with it. i can't describe it in words, but i know it's a fabulous smell! using this in a foot spa is even better, it bubbles up, and you can sit back and relax....ahhh....that sounds so good right about now...

maybe later, monique...moving on...

Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Cuticle & Nail Moisture Treatment Pen sits in my bedside table drawer, and i use it about every other night to moisturize not only the cuticles on my fingers, but also my toes. sometimes i run it over my toes for a quick moisture treatment before slipping into my sandals, and it really helps to keep my polish looking good longer! also, the fact that comes in a pen form makes it travel friendly-- no need to worry about it spilling in your purse!



Ped Egg Foot File works like nothing else to remove calluses and keep them away. when i first bought this back in the spring, i didn't use it much. but one day, something clicked, and i fell in love with it! this little thing files away those rough dry heels, and thankfully, hides them away in the container until you empty it. what is so amazing is that it doesn't even hurt! the emery board on the other side gently smooths your skin, and feet are left feeling soft and looking great.


have a fabulous weekend everyone!
