Hey there!
I know it's been a solid minute since I last posted here. I've been getting my podcast episodes done and uploaded, and also there is a lot going on at the music front along with other projects. I've been wanting to make my next post about creating a look out of Besame's 1937 Snow White and 1946 Agent Carter lines, but that isn't something I wanted to 'fake my way' through.
Now with the Halloween season now upon us, it would be a perfect time to do something like that, so I will later in the month (perhaps I will create the looks for future podcast episodes). But today's posting will be an unboxing.
If you want to see the video version of the unboxing, visit my Instagram (I did it at 2am after coming in from hanging out with friends :D ). Otherwise, here is my most recent order from Besame Cosmetics and Young Living Essential Oils.
The Decades of Fragrance Collection is the fruit of 6 years of
research and exploration to bring you the essence of each decade
featured in the collection. We wanted to give you an olfactory picture
of a decade of time, using familiar ingredients from each period to
create an impression in your mind of a time gone by. Each perfume
extract is meticulously crafted from precious essential oils and natural
alcohol. Be transported to your favorite era with each of our
intoxicating scents.
Dabble in time with our Decades Collection.
Hollywood, rumours and scandals, 1920s Floral, Ambery, Musky
Top notes: mandarin, juniper berry, galbanum
Heart notes: jasmine, violet, muguet, suede
Base notes: cocoa, myrrh, amber, musks
As an added bonus, I got the 1920 perfume for only $5.00 ($20.00 off) because I paired it with the Blood Red lipstick (as of this blog posting, they are currently running a deal where you can get a fragrance for 5.00 with the purchase of a lipstick from the respected era of the fragrance).
Now onto Young Living, probably my favorite company in the holistic health realm!
So for my latest order with Young Living, I ended up getting the following:
1. Pure Protein Complete protein powder (probably my favorite protein shake powder next to Shakeology...also less spendy than Shakeology)
2. Thieves Dish Soap
3. Thieves dental floss
(side note: I LOVE having Thieves products on hand during cold and flu season!)
4. Savvy Minerals Hydrating Primer
(for those unaware of what a primer is meant to prep your skin for foundation...it should go on after moisturizer and sunscreen...yes always sunscreen, even in fall and winter...your future self will thank you...I really like the Alba Botanica sunscreens , which they also tend to have in the organic sections of most grocery stores, Targets, etc :) )
5. And last but not least, I got some Clove Essential Oil free with my order. Clove is also something I like to have during cold and flu season. It is also one of the ingredients in the Thieves products. :)
So that was my unboxing! Check out Young Living and Besame at their websites:

opening the boxes....Young Living is on the left and Besame is on the right
Beginning with Besame Cosmetics:
For the Besame order, it was all about the 1920s. I got their 1922 Blood Red lip color and their Decades of Fragrance 1920 roller perfume. I also got two little red pouches to carry lipstick in (the pouches were only $1 apiece so I thought why not?). As I said in a previous blog, even their packaging is gorgeous and true to the bygone decades.
From the Besame website on the 1922 Blood Red lip color:
Deep, soulful red with a surprising red undertone that looks like a
freshly bitten lip. Wear full strength for impact or as a stain for a
natural looking red lip. The warm undertone of this color makes it easy
to wear for cool or warm complexions alike.
This is a true replica of a color from 1922. Gabriela found this color
at an antique store in California and instantly felt it must be added to
our lipstick collection. Unlike most red lipsticks that have a pink undertone, Blood Red is a
true red, with a true red undertone that can be worn full on or as a
stain.
From the Besame website on the Decades of Fragrance: 1920:

I'm already loving wearing both! I think that the 1922 Blood Red is my favorite red lip color! And the fragrance definitely has the aroma that I would imagine when I think 1920s. :)
Now onto Young Living, probably my favorite company in the holistic health realm!
1. Pure Protein Complete protein powder (probably my favorite protein shake powder next to Shakeology...also less spendy than Shakeology)
2. Thieves Dish Soap
