Live Beautifully Solid Lotion & Face Butter

Hi everyone! I've been a little absent this week (I feel like it's Friday which is probably why I feel like I've been away longer than I actually have been). I've been a bit sick this week and my gosh darn computer almost never works and Rob's is a pain in the butt to use, so it's been hard to get posts up. I really need to figure out this computer situation! Anyway, I've been wanting to tell you about some of the other amazing products Live Beautifully Body offers. I hope you enjoy!

Company: Live Beautifully Body

Products: Beautifying Face Butter and Solid Lotion Bar Tube in Berry Lime Green Tea. The Beautifying Face Butter is probably one of my most favorite face products I've ever used. I'm using a bunch of different moisturizers right now, it's pretty crazy, but this one is definitely one of my favorites! This smells so clean and fresh, but the scent isn't crazy strong, it's actually pretty light. The Solid Lotion Bar Tube in Berry Lime Green Tea is absolutely wonderful! The scent is so bright and energizing, I find myself using it all the time whenever I feel like I need a boost of energy or just have some dry skin! The scent even seems somewhat bubbly or sparkling. The sweet berry scent combined with tart lime and green tea is just amazing.

Wear: The Face Butter goes on like a dream. It's supposed to be whipped, mine came when it was a bit colder so the consistency isn't really super whipped, but you can tell it's supposed to be. Is that confusing? It's a bit whipped but at the same time solidly packed. It goes on smooth and lightweight. I really love the way it makes my face feel. I usually wear this at night, but sometimes during the day if I'm not planning on putting on makeup right away because this stuff does tend to sit a bit before really getting absorbed. Long story short: this face butter has a lightweight, whipped consistency that feels like heaven on my face. If you like they're whipped lip butters for your lips, this is like those but for your whole face. The Solid Lotion Bar Tube also goes on lovely. It melts on contact with my skin and goes on smooth making my hands feel moisturized and soft. I usually use it on my hands, but have also used it on the heels of my feet and my elbows.

Packaging: The Face Butter comes in a metal tin with a twist off top. The lid has one of those beautifully designed labels with the product type and ingredients on it. The Solid Lotion comes in a push up tube. I didn't know that at first, I thought it was a twist up tube, but no biggie. You push it up and the lotion comes out. The tube also has a twist off cap which I find unique for some reason as I'm used to pull off caps I guess. Both items would be perfect for travelling as they're lightweight and don't take up much space.

Price: The Face Butter is $12 and the Solid Lotions are $8. Both are definitely reasonable since these products last a while!

Overall
Pros: Wear, Packaging, Price, Scents
Cons:

Rating: 5 out of 5 twists. I wholeheartedly would recommend both of these products. I love them and use them at least a few times a week!

Ingredients:
Face Butter: Shea Butter, Apricot Kernel Oil, Avocado Oil, Cocoa Butter, Tea Tree, Labdanum, Bulgarian Rose Absolute, Bergamot
Solid Lotion: Beeswax, Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Mango Butter, Apricot Kernel Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Coconut Oil, Natural Flavors & Oils

Live Beautifully Whipped Lip Butters Part II

It's been a while since my last Live Beautifully Whipped Lip Butter review, so I thought it was about time I posted one! What I love most about Live Beautifully is that they have such a wide variety of lip products to choose from (lip balms, lip balm pots, lip jellies, and whipped lip butters) and that each lip product line has some pretty amazing and really unique scents.

Company: Live Beautifully

Flavors: Pineapple & Vanilla and Butterscotch & Vanilla. The Pineapple & Vanilla has a light pineapple scent combined with the creamy scent of vanilla. The Butterscotch & Vanilla has a rich butterscotch scent combined with creamy vanilla, it's really wonderful!

Wear: These have such a lovely consistency to them! They're whipped and creamy and go on just beautifully. They make my lips feel soft and protected. They go on wonderfully!

Packaging: These whipped lip butters come in little pots with screw top lids. I love the way Aaron and Nicole designed their labels, they're just so simple and polished looking. Each pot has a different colored label according to the flavor of the balm.

Price: $6 per pot which is kind of steep for me (since my upper limit on most products is $4), but you do get twice as much product so it's worth it.

Overall
Pros: Flavors, Wear, Packaging, Price
Cons:

Rating: 5 out of 5 twists. These Whipped Lip Butters were pretty wonderful, although I do have to admit, my Lime & Vanilla Whipped Lip Butter is still my absolute favorite!

Ingredients: Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Grapeseed Oil, Essential Oils, Natural Flavor Oils

Live Beautifully: Sweet Cobbler, Fruited Tea, and more!

It's been a little while since my last Live Beautifully review, so I figured it was about time for one! I know in the picture there are lip balm pots, but those will be included in a later review. I didn't want to make the review toooo long. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

Company: Live Beautifully

Flavors: Warm Peach Cobbler, Warm Cherry Cobbler, Warm Pear Cobbler, Raspberry Iced Tea, Blueberry Mint Tea, Peach Iced Tea, and Juicy Peach & Pear. The Warm Peach Cobbler smells just like warm baked peaches! The Cherry Cobbler smells just as you would expect, warm cherries baked to perfection. The Pear Cobbler is just like the others, a perfect anthology of warm baked fruits! This one has the sweet scent of baked pears (almost put 'bears' there instead, yikes!). The Raspberry Iced Tea smells incredible! Ripe raspberries and refreshing iced tea, it really makes my mouth water! The Blueberry Mint Tea reminds me of those scented markers I had as a kid, it smells just like blueberries with cool mint. I used to love those scented markers, and especially the blueberry one! This balm is just wonderful! The Peach Iced Tea smells just like a tall glass of refreshing peach iced tea. The Juicy Peach & Pear is such a unique lip balm flavor, it smells of ripe peaches and sweet pears.

Wear: These balms go on very smooth. The consistency may be a bit thinner than some of my other balms, but it's definitely a welcomed change! It's great, lightweight protection for my lips!

Packaging: These come in your average sized lip balm tubes with labels I really love! Each label has a color scheme to match the flavor of the balm, the name of the shop, the flavor of the balm, and a description of the flavor of the balm. They're really wonderful.

Price: $4 per tube or $10 for the whole anthology (3 balms). Definitely worth it for one of these balms!

Overall
Pros: Flavors, Wear, Packaging, Price
Cons:

Rating: 5 out of 5 twists. Live Beautifully balms are always some of my favorite balms! There are so many flavors to choose from and they're all so unique and interesting, not to mention wonderful!

Ingredients: Beeswax, Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Mango Butter, Apricot Kernel Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Coconut Oil, Natural Flavors & Oils

Live Beautifully's Tropical Drink Anthology

I hope you guys aren't tired of reading about Live Beautifully products! I have such a large collection of their lip products that there's definitely going to be many more reviews to come! This time I'm sharing with you what I thought about their Tropical Drink Anthology.

Company: Live Beautifully Body

Flavors: Blue Island Breeze, Caribbean Punch, and Strawberry Colada. The Blue Island Breeze smells incredible! Tropical pineapple blended with ripe blueberries and topped off with fresh lemon, holy cow does this smell wonderful! The Caribbean Punch also smells amazing! It reminds me of the smell inside a bag of Starbursts, mostly of my favorite one, cherry! This balm is so sweet and fruity! It's definitely spot on pina colada with cherry, seriously, I want to drink this balm up! The Strawberry Colada isn't as sweet or fruity as the other two balms. I mostly detect coconut and pineapple, but not too much strawberry. But it's still a great balm!

Wear: These balms go on so smooth and easy! They glide right across my lips and sink right in! They're just lovely!

Packaging: Like all Live Beautifully products, I really love the way these balms were designed! They come in your average sized lip balm tube with beautifully designed labels. The labels are each colored differently to correspond to the flavor of the balm, they're so bright and pretty! What I love most about these labels I think is that the flavors that go into the balm are included on the front. I like this because sometimes it's hard to tell exactly what the balm is supposed to smell like! Like balms that are similar to the Caribbean Punch, it's hard to guess every scent in there!

Price: $4 per tube or $10 for the whole anthology! Definitely worth it!

Overall
Pros: Flavors, Wear, Packaging, Price
Cons:

Rating: 5 out of 5 twists. I really, really love Live Beautifully products! I'd recommend them to anyone who wants to try a new brand of balm! There are so many flavors and so many different products to choose from there's definitely a flavor or product for any taste or need!

Ingredients: Beeswax, Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Mango Butter, Apricot Kernel Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Coconut Oil, Natural Flavors & Oils

Live Beautifully Lip Jellies!

I know a bunch of you have been waiting for this review for a while now, and I'm here to deliver! If you don't know, Live Beautifully came out with a new product recently, all natural lip jellies! I love all my Live Beautifully products, and was eager to try this one. Nicole and Aaron were so kind and generous to send me three of their new lip jellies to try!

Company: Live Beautifully

Flavors: Pistachio Ice Cream, Black Pepper Cheese, and Lavender Lemoncake. The Pistachio Ice Cream has a rich, nutty scent. It smells so rich and creamy, it's not as sweet as other pistachio balms I've used, but it works! I'm a huge cheese lover and when I saw that there was actually a cheese flavor, I had to try it! The Black Pepper Cheese is seriously probably the most unique lip flavor I've ever had. It has a light cheese scent with a little kick from the black pepper.It's so interesting! When on my lips, you can really tell there's black pepper in there! Nicole and Aaron also sent me a pot of the Lavender Lemoncake to try, and you know I normally wouldn't try a flavor like that on my own because I'm not a fan of floral balms, but I'm really glad they did! The lemoncake part of the combination is super strong and so lovely. It's definitely the prominent scent and you know I love anything with sweet lemon in it! When on my lips there's a slight lavender scent which actually doesn't bother me! I really like this flavor combination! There are so many more of their flavors I want to try! They've got something for every taste, I swear!

Wear: These lip jellies are applied with your finger, so how much goes on is up to you, but from my experience I don't need to go over more than once or twice to get great coverage. These feel a little greasier than what I'm used to, but it's because it's a jelly and definitely not going to have the same consistency as a balm or one of their whipped lip butters. But it really sinks into my lips and makes them so smooth. I really love the way these feel on my lips!

Packaging: These come in little pots, the same one as their whipped lip butters if you've used those before. You probably know by now that I absolutely adore the way all of Live Beautifully's packaging is designed and these are definitely no exception! These all have an old fashioned look to them and I absolutely adore them! Each label is so fittingly (is that a word?) designed to match each flavor, seriously I love these!

Price: $6 each which I know is usually out of my price range, but for these superior products and for how much product you get, I really think it's worth it!

Overall
Pros: Flavors, Wear, Packaging, Price
Cons:

Rating: 5 out of 5 twists. I really love these new lip jellies from Live Beautifully. I would definitely recommend them! I would recommend all Live Beautifully lip products to anyone and everyone, they're just so great!

Ingredients: Certified Organic Self Emulsifying Wax, Beeswax, Avocado Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Essential Oils & Natural Scent Oils
