Beauty News: Live Clean + Venus Swirl

Live Clean Coconut Milk Moisturizing 
Shampoo & Conditioner
I was very excited to try Live Clean coconut milk moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. As an island girl, I grew up with coconut at the stable. This is because it was a staple in my parents upbringing. It's one of those super fruits that can be used to eat and use topical. Love it in my hair! It wasn't heavy but it hydrated my hair. Overall my hair was very soft. Both products are free of- petroleum, paraben, silicone, phthalate and phosphate.

Live Clean Coconut Milk Moisturizing Shampoo & Conditioner  ($6.99 CAN)
  • Has Vitamins C, E and Provitamin B5
  • Rich in milk and rice protein
  • Plant derived
  • Coconut oil add hydration
Venus Swirl

Once you're ready to shed that extra winter "fur"... You should really try the Venus Swirl. The new Venus Swirl™ razor ($12.99 US) has FLEXIBALL™ technology. Which allows the razor to navigate your imitate areas with no issues.

I found that it has taken longer for my hair to grow back because of the microfine comb that guides your hair to blades. No hair is left behind. Plus the five contour™ blades have thinner, finer edges – the thinnest in Gillette’s history.


Six years of blogging... is this a goodbye?

Last December, I celebrated 6 years of blogging.
Thank you for your comments, views and shares of my blog posts throughout the years. 
I know I haven't been posting a lot because of the wedding but this is still my baby. 
I'm not sure how long Spiced Beauty will be here.... but I will not lie.. the passion is kind of dying
I personally feel like the landscape is not where it should be right now. 
In other words, six years of doing this and I haven't seen much of a change (for me).  
Don't get me wrong... I still get excited when I see a palette in the mail or event invite but I still think there might be another realm for Spiced Beauty.  Actually let me rephrase that.. there is another realm but that hasn't really been tapped out yet.

For now, I'm going to keep on trucking........

Valentine's Day Red Lips

I love this lip color because I asked Drew Barrymore what colour would she choose for me and she chose Rosebud! Coincidentally, it was in my gift bag.

It's the perfect red for every skin tone.
Plus it would be an amazing bridal or Valentine's day colour!

Flower Beauty + Drew Barrymore

I went to an exclusive Flower Beauty event a while back and I had the opportunity to try out a lot of their products and meet Drew Barrymore. She is amazing- literally everything I thought she would be and more. I'm so impressed with the line. The pigmentation, the colour range, and the overall products that they have makes it unique.


Fell in-love this amazing red lipstick- Rosebud (shown above). Which I'll post about it soon. Plus I was also introduced to a new favourite: Flower Color Play Creme Eyeshadows $7.98 CAN. It that comes in six shades. The packaging is extremely cute and the consistency is soft like a soufflé.
You can apply it with your fingers or with a thin brush like a concealer brush. After eight hours of work- it did not crease. I used one of my make up removers to take off the eyeshadow and I had no issue. Each creme eyeshadow has vitamin E for antioxidant protection.
I would recommend getting every colour.
