Mischa Barton Lemon Zest Body Butter

I have to say I'm incredibly impressed with June's 'She Said Beauty' box. Aprils and I didn't quite get on as well as I wanted, but me and June are best buds - especially due to this product.




As seen here I gave a rave review for Mischa Barton's Luscious Lips so when I found out I would be getting another part of her cosmetics collection I was very excited. Luckily I was justified in this excitement.
I prefer body butters to lotions as I feel they do more for my skin and they just feel nicer and I have been using the Body Shop's Body Butters for years. This feels totally different and in a fantastic way.
It feels softer and absorbs into the skin a lot easier. You only need a small amount which means this product will last for a while, justifying the price for me.
Now onto the smell - oh.my.god. It's amazing. Literally amazing. I love citrus smells, but only if they are subtle and this is exactly that. I find myself smelling my arms throughout the day just to get a whiff. It doesn't last all day, around 3 hours I would say but the moisture lasts.
Arthur appears to love this product as well. After I put it on he was there trying to lick me for ages afterwards and following me around - a good sign I think!

I would definitely recommend this product. My skins feels smother, and more moisturized. I love the smell and the texture. 
It is also available in Aqua Mist, Coco Cinnamon and Violet Vision. I would definitely love to try this in Coco Cinnamon, especially around Christmas time.

Overall, love this product - thanks She Said Beauty & Mischa's Place!

What scent would you like to try? Have you tried her body butters?

Mischa Barton Luscious Lips

Here is a product I received in my She Said Beauty April box.

in 'Pink Pop'



I didn't even know Mischa Barton did lipgloss so this was a surprise to me! This is a rich hydrating lip protector with a hint of flattering colour. It protects with SPF15 and hydrates with vitamins.


I LOVE the colour of this. It looks great in the pot and also on the lips as well. It's natural enough for me as I'm not one for big bold make up and it does stay on for quite a while - even when you've had a drink and eaten its still there. Have not tried it against kissing yet though...
As for its hydrating quality, I have to say I havent noticed any different with my lips and I've been using it for a few days now - I do see it as a bit more like a lip gloss then a lip balm.
I would recommend it. I really do like the colour and I have been using it a lot - mainly everyday use and I'm not a lippy kinda person. 
As for the price, if I saw it as a lip balm there is probably no chance I'd pay £8 for it, however as a lip gloss with balmy qualities I have to admit I've paid more so I have no objections to paying that for this.

What's your must have lip gloss?
