I Whish for amazing bath products!

I love beauty products. Eye shadow, nail polish, perfume and face wash. I love it all. I'd like to try it all. I admit I am often a sucker for products with cutesy names and in cute packaging. I will also say that I have never actually moaned out loud over a beauty product. . .until now.

A few weeks ago I caught a segment on the Today Show featuring different products being offered a discounted rate especially for Today Show viewers. There were lots of cute things, but what caught my eye was a set of body scrub, shave cream, body wash and body butter from Whish. I had not heard of Whish before but apparently it is a celebrity favorite and has been featured in a number of magazines.

The deal was for a four piece set of the products (an $85 value) for only $19. I certainly couldn't pass that up. I admit, however, that I was a little nervous about ordering a product I had never seen or smelled before. I put my full trust in the Today Show and I was not disappointed.

I'm telling you now, stop what you are doing and order you some Whish sugar scrub and body butter. Now! I'm serious? Why are you still here reading? Go!

Super Cute and Amazing Product!

Really, this stuff is AMAZING! I got in the shower and squeezed some of the sugar scrub into my palms and when I touched it to my skin I actually moaned. I'm not making this up. This stuff is the best feeling body product I have ever used. EVER. The End. The sugar scrub has a very fine grain and a creamy base that just makes  your skin feel so moisturized and smooth. The fragrance is called Vanilla Spice and it is so delicious smelling you will be a little bit enthralled with yourself for the rest of the day. It is also a great balance of a long-lasting pleasant smell without being overpowering. I am sort of funny about products with a sweet smell. Sometime it's just too much, especially when you are combining body wash and then following up with lotion. I have  had some products that made me feel like I was choking it was so sickly sweet and overwhelming.

The shaving cream is also a great product. I usually just use soap or body wash instead of an actual shave cream and I could really tell a huge difference. My legs felt so smooth!

The lotion is also unbelievable. Before I had a chance to take a full shower, I used just a smidge of lotion and my hands felt so soft.

I'm hooked. I've already been perusing the web site to see what fragrance I should try next. If you have tried another fragrance please let me know which ones are best.

This is the body care line I have always whished for!

I'm from the South, I'm supposed to love butter!

I'm not sure how I lived before there was pinterest! Where else can you waste hours and hours gazing at tranquil ocean scenes, planning a wedding even though you aren't engaged or finding recipes you know you'll never actually make? It's amazing! Thanks to pinterest I have discovered many things, but I know of at least one I have actually tried - Butter London nail polish! 

Being from the south I was naturally drawn to the name of the product and I'm a bit addicted to nail polish anyway so I knew this was going to work out. I have to preface this by saying, I had acrylic nails for years and I'm always disappointed in the longevity of regular nail polish. Let's face it, I don't care how good a polish you buy, if it is on your natural nail it just isn't going to stay as long as acrylic, gel or shellac.


Clearly, I have a nail polish addiction!
Butter London polish doesn't have any magic staying power either, nevertheless, I greatly enjoy the freedom of being able to change polish whenever I choose and not have to plan my schedule around a fill in. 

Like OPI, Butter London also has fun names for the colors. My personal favorite is "No more waity Katie." Come on, we all know that the cutesy name is half the fun! 

Other than having cool colors with cute names, the main selling point of this polish is that it is non toxic. Unlike most other nail polish is it formulated without formaldehyde (isn't this what they put on dead people so they don't smell?), toluene, DBP or parabens (I don't even know what those others are.)

I never really thought about the fact that my nail polish had those icky things in there! Think about how often you put your hands near your mouth! EEk! I have a ton of other polish and I confess I will probably continue to use them, but after using Butter the thought of using the others does freak me out a little. I sort of have to psych myself up to use some OPI. 

"It's ok, Kitsey! Think of the cute name, not the formaldehyde!" 

I do have to say that the price for Butter London polishes is pretty steep. My boyfriend gives me the judgmental face whenever I buy some. But you know what, there are some things in life you just shouldn't skimp on and being from the south I'd say Butter is definitely one of them!
