It is a rainy Monday here in Charleston, and I have a lot to share with you this week.  Let’s get down to business, shall we?  First, BeauTeaBar is having a Spring Sale, and it’s good – 30% off select items.  But, hurry, it ends tonight at 9pm!  Here are my picks:

Strange Invisible Perfumes NEVER go on sale, and Aquarian Rose is one of their best sellers (and one of my personal favorites).  It’s not your grandmother’s rose perfume.  It’s sexy and light; sandalwood and marjoram warm up the bright hydro-distilled scent.  It is simply divine. (Fun fact: it’s also the signature scent of Rosamund Pike).  There are quite a few other Strange Invisible scents on sale as well.  Take advantage!

Aila Cosmetics Better Than Gel Top Coat is a favorite.  It really does make my manicure last longer, and it dries quickly.

Vitruvi Sleep Aromatherapy Roll-On Oil is perfect to keep on your nightstand.  Chamomile, Vetiver and Lavender soothe and sedate

Zoe Organics Cream is perfect for those with super-sensitive skin.  I recently recommended it to a pregnant friend who couldn’t tolerate her normal Clean body lotion, and her skin cleared right up.  It’s also perfect for babies.

Skin Owl Geranium Beauty Drops are the brainchild of founder Annie Tevelin.  She told me that this face serum cleared up her cystic acne and brought life back to her dull, decongested skin.  Her skin is gorgeous now, so I’m going to take her word for it.

I recently added a new preferred retailer on my Where to Shop page.  Be Clean is a natural beauty apothecary in Washington, DC that was founded by Becky Waddell last year.  She carries only super-Clean products made in the USA for face, body and home.  Earlier this year, Becky sent me Josh Rosebrook Tinted Nutrient Day Cream SPF 30, and it has since become one of my favorites for both daily use and long days out in the sun.  This is a totally natural, broad spectrum SPF that thinks it’s a day cream and acts like a lotion.  Active herbal extracts, plant-based oils and non-nano zinc oxide treat, moisturize and protect skin without ever leaving it feeling greasy or sticky.  Makeup slides right on over this sunscreen, and color-adjusting earth minerals correct and brighten skin tone.  There is also an un-tinted version, which is just as amazing, and leaves NO white cast.

That’s all for today!  I’ll be back tomorrow with some very gorgeous new Clean lip glosses….
