I first wrote about Juice Organics months ago, but these products have been on my mind ever since. Why? This is probably the highest-quality skincare I’ve ever sampled that sells for a song… This set of trial-sized Juice Organics product is perfect to stuff a loved one’s stocking this year. Only $9.99 will buy a Nourishing Cleanser, Vitamin Antioxidant Serum and SPF 30 Light Tint Moisturizer in pint-sized packages perfect for travel.
This travel set sells for $8.99 at drugstore.com and $9.99 on the Juice Organics website.
I first wrote about Durance en Provence some time ago… when I had the opportunity to test the fantastic hand cream in the company’s "Around The Olive Tree" collection of bath and body products. For those of you who tried it and loved it, I must also recommend their Lavender-infused body butter. It is extremely rich and moisturizing… and a fantastic treat for skin with the winter-blues. What a wonderful and thoughtful stocking-stuffer for anybody that could use a little pampering (did I just use a pun? how embarrassing).
Durance en Provence Olive Butter with Lavender Essential Oil retails for $38 on the Durance website.
