Miss Moon's "Get One" Giveaway: Raw Ingredient's Body Scrub & Butter!!

Hi, My name is Audrey... you all may know me as Miss Moon. I'm here to say that I have dry skin.

No, SERIOUSLY dry skin...

I think it's because I'm a Scorpio who was born in the year of the Snake, so I'm a little bit reptile, a little bit arachnid (sings to the tune of Donny and Marie's song.. lol).

But I return to my previous statement, my skin STAYS dry year round, but during the winter I find myself especially dry and scaly, which is truthfully... not cute. And I have invested so much money on lotions, potions and topical rememdies in the past, so I consider myself something of an expert. A pHD in ashy-ology, if you will. LOL

Is it just me, or does the great smelling products fail to sufficiently nourish dry skin? And products that does a bang up job moisturizing... smell like crap! It sucks, truthfully.

When I was approached to do a product review from Rita of Raw Ingredients, I went into it with an open mind, but wasn't really expecting a dramatic response, especially when its winter time.

Rita sent me two of her goodies to sample, a Body Scrub and Body Butter, both in the delightful "Sexy" scent, and I've been using it for over a month now and I love them both!!! I actually use both the scrub and butter when I do my nails and tootsies. I'm unemployed now, so its difficult to head out to the nail salon twice a month for a mani-pedi...

I use the scrub on my hands and feet after a good soak and finally slather on a healthy supply of the body butter after painting my nails..

Not only does my skin look fabulous, the smell is truly intoxicating!!! And what's most important... the moisture is lasting without being icky and greasy, and hours later, my skin's still super soft!!

But of course, you do not have to take my word for it. I'm teaming with Raw Ingredients to offer one lucky reader a chance to win a body butter and scrub of their own to try!!

:::drools:::Natural Body Products from Brown Butter Beauty

A happy body gets nourished from the inside and out. This is a lesson I learned way too late.... but upon this discovery, I've been making up for lost time.

A body product line I am really excited about trying is Brooklyn's own Brown Butter Beauty. Frustrated by the selection of products at her local beauty supply stores (As a Brooklyn Girl, I can definitely testify to this!), Christine Gant decided to go her neighborhood health food store instead. Armed with herbs, oils and know-how, she started to concoct her own products for her hair and skin.

And aren't we ever so lucky she's been generous enough to share? LOL

Here are some Brown Butter Beauty items high on my "To Buy" List:



Honey Butter Soap Bar ($7) Made with real honey and moisturizing oils and butters. This soap looks like it will make your skin feel and smell mmm mmm, good!!!!!



Brown Butter Beauty Kits ($50) If you are like me, you have tried every facial collection know to man and it did nothing more than take up space in your bathroom! This pack is different as it contains full size bottles of the following (From the Brown Butter Beauty website):

1. Botanical Cream Cleanser - Cleansing the skin properly is the foundation of a good skin-care regime. Removing surface impurities such as pollutants, make-up, bacteria and excess oil as well as exfoliating the skin to remove dead surface cells without disturbing the delicate moisture and oil balance is one of the keys to beautiful skin. This cream cleanser has been formulated with almond oil, emulsified with naturally- derived vegetable waxes and boosted with certified organic Bulgarian rosewater. - 2 ounce bottle

2.Fresh Face Cream Moisturizer - A light non oily moisturizer packed with hydrating and moisturizing ingredients. Safflower oil, pomegranate, and evening primrose provide nourishment to thirsty skin. A powerful complex of oat protein, essential minerals and B vitamins soothe dry inflamed skin and replenish devitalized cells. This moisturizer absorbs immediately into the skin and leaves a nice smooth surface for applying makeup. A little goes along way. Conveniently packaged in 2 ounce treatment pump bottles. 2 ounces will last a long time!!

3. Blemish Minimizing Serum - An effective serum that helps stabilize the skin. A concentrate of aloe vera and essential oils helps calm the skin and build its natural immune system. The precious essential oils work in cooperation with the other ingredients to bring the skin into balance and minimize or eliminate break-outs. - 1 ounce serum pump

4. Herbal Rich Hair and Body Oil - My master recipe for this herbal oil is coarsely ground herbs infused in Olive Oil and steeped for 4 weeks. I put together an extensive group of herbs to create this nourshing oil. This oil in loaded with all the ingredients necessary for healthy hair growth and a healthy scalp. This oil is very light and absorbs into the skin immediately without leaving your hair heavy, greasy and weighed down. - 8 ounce bottle

:::drools::: Scent-Sational Touch Bath & Body Products

I put on a small sample of the Coconut Cream lotion at the African Arts Festival today, and I fell in love with the scent.. its lucious and sexy and sweet at the same time. I had to go back and scoop up a tube of my own!!

It's hours later and I still smell delicious!

I also recommend the Honeysuckle and Champagne scents (I bought the Body & Room spray in Champagne), which are also drool worthy!!

Azuri (who's awesome)

created her brand after purchasing scented oils from a friend. She thought to herself, "I could do this, I can make this!"
