Twinkle Toes Peppermint Powder ReviewPosted by admin on June 13, 2010
Let me start by mentioning that I’m not a child, a tween or a teen. In fact, I am a mid-aged adult. Yet I love this happy little peppermint scented foot and body powder.
Created for the young and young-at-heart, the Herban Renewal Twinkle Toes Dancer Dust is delightful girly fun. It’s all natural and pink, [...]
Eclectic Lady Moisture Mist ReviewPosted by admin on June 12, 2010
I am a big fan of moisturizing facial mist, so I asked Eclectic Lady owner Jeanne Ukwendu to create a fragrance free facial spritzer with glycerin for me. She went a step further and added healing aloe vera juice to the product – brilliant! Now I can purchase a staple product of mine – facial [...]
Top Five Free Cosmetics Makeover ShopsPosted by admin on September 3, 2009
Plenty of cosmetics stores offer free, fun makeovers to people who simply walk in and ask for them. One key about these freebies – accept that the store clerks are going to all this effort to introduce you to their product lines. You DON’T have to buy anything and you do not have to tip [...]
Water – the Most Important CosmeticPosted by admin on June 12, 2009
We don’t think about it very often, but the one cosmetic product we all use to make us look our best is plain old water. We shower and bathe in water to get clean; we drink it to stay hydrated and healthy.
We’ve been told 6 – 8 glasses of water a day is necessary for [...]
Vaseline Clinical Therapy Body Lotion ReviewPosted by admin on June 11, 2009
The Vaseline Clinical Therapy Body Lotion is very thick, very rich and very creamy. Too thick for normal and slightly dry skin. But for severely dry, bothered skin, it might be a lifesaver.
When I received this “skin protectant body lotion” to test, I was both impressed and appalled with the viscosity of the [...]

EclecticLady.com owner Jeanne Daigle – now a newly married Jeanne Ukwendu – is moving herself and her handcrafted cosmetics business from the cold north of New England to sultry South Florida.
Jeanne reports that most of her solid soap line will be discontinued: “I believe the only major change is going to be that the soaps [...]
Cor Silver Foaming Soap – ReviewPosted by admin on June 7, 2009
Silver in a soap? Cor offers a silver based foaming facial cleanser to deep clean and polish skin in one elegant step. My mother and I offered our faces as test subjects for this quite frankly expensive line. What woman would turn down silver?
Eclectic Lady Handmade Bath & Body ProductsPosted by admin on December 22, 2007
This is a small e-store selling all-natural, handcrafted soaps: Eclectic Lady Handmade Bath & Body Products. These are made by my personal friend Jeanne Daigle. I recommend the Violet Perfume Oil (I love violet in anything), the Pumpkin Spice Whipped Shea Butter, and the Lavender Body Spray to scent bedtime pillows and sheets. Mmmmmmm.
Jeanne makes [...]
Vitamin C Cleansing Facial PolishPosted by admin on
The Body Shop’s Vitamin C Cleansing Facial Polish smells just like crushed up Vitamin C pills, with a hint of mango. It’s promoted as an antioxident cleanser with mild scrubbing action, suitable for everyday use and for all skin types.
Looking at the contents, there are relatively few grains compared to an actual facial scrub. The [...]
Zia Sea Tonic Rosewater & Aloe TonerPosted by admin on
I have a lot of toiletries that never get used up – hardly eco-friendly of me. I am trying to actively use up my many soaps, lotions and potions. And I want to buy only toiletries that I absolutely love, from companies I believe in.
So for me to be on my second bottle of Zia [...]
