MAC Naked Honey Body Wash

Full disclosure: MAC sends me a ton of products every month - an overwhelming, but wonderful selection of free cosmetics, skincare, and some of the most beautiful promotional artwork you've ever seen.

With that out of the way, I must tell you that their new Naked Honey Body Wash is simply the most glorious thing I've ever used in the shower. The smell is incredible - the honey melds with the scent of narcissus, jasmine, and a bit of lavender for the slightly masculine edge that I love. My only complaint is that the scent is perhaps a bit too subtle. That said, I used it during my evening shower and woke up in the morning wondering, "Hey, why do I smell so amazing?"
The entire Naked Honey collection of thirteen items includes a skin salve, a body cream, and a fragrance. I think I shall be spending some of my hard-earned ducats on a few of these products as soon as I can.

MAC Naked Honey Body Wash: Warm, Soothing and a Touch Sweet

Introducing MAC Naked Honey Body Wash ($19.50), one of the new body care products being released with the upcoming collection (arrives June 11).

Now close your eyes…

Picture the pages of a Pottery Barn catalog. A tranquil bedroom, dark, except for the flickering light from dozens of honey-scented candles. In the center of the room — a beautiful four-poster bed with fresh, soft cotton sheets covered in lavender and jasmine petals…

That’s the way I think MAC Naked Honey Body Wash smells to me — warm, soothing, and a touch sweet.

In the shower, the gel lathers into a rich foam that rinses completely away. It leaves my skin feeling lightly hydrated and smelling sweet like honey for hours.

It contains something MAC refers to as bio-converted honey, moisturizing waxes derived from lavender, narcissus and jasmine flowers; as well as the extract of the blue agave plant (the same plant used to make tequila, mezcal and pulque) to moisturize and cleanse the skin.

The body wash joins a few other body care products in the 13-piece Naked Honey collection like a skin salve ($18.50), a hand and body cream ($22.50) and a fragrance (called Creations, $22.50).

I haven’t smelled any of those yet, but I hope they smell just like the body wash because this stuff’s downright heavenly.

MAC Naked Honey Body Wash

Price: $19.50 for a 3.4 fl-oz. bottle

Makeup and Beauty Blog Rating: A

You might like MAC Naked Honey Body Wash if…

1. …you’re a die-hard MAC devotee and love their seasonal body product releases,
2. …you enjoy lightly sweetened scents,
3. …you want a body wash that leaves you feeling soothed and relaxed when you step out of the shower,
4. …your skin needs light moisturization.

NOTE: For a $20 body wash, the 3.4-oz. tube that Naked Honey Body Wash comes in is pretty small, fitting almost entirely in the palm of my hand. It’s a definite splurge, but a little does go a long way…and that counts for something.

Herbal Hair Oil

Herbal hair oil are one of the most well recognized hair treatments. Herbal hair oils not only moisturize scalp, reverse dry scalp and dry hair conditions, but provide numerous essential nutrients required to maintain normal functions of sebaceous glands and promote natural hair growth. Herbal hair oils have been traditionally used to treat irritated stressed scalp, reduce effect of aging on hair shape and growth, combat seborrhea and alopecia. Herbal hair care oils work through nutritional support of natural skin restorative and hair growth processes. Regular continuous application is the best way to achieve significant improvement.

Hair is made up of 88% proteins. These proteins are chains of amino acids. A common amino acid found in hair is cystine. Almost all hair problems result in lack of nutrition in the hair. Stress keeps the cells from reproducing. Sebum, bacteria and dirt wrap a hair's root and does not allow it to respirate or breathe resulting in thinning and loss.

Everyone's hair needs vitamins. Lack of vitamins can cause slow growing, dull hair and hair that is easily broken or damaged and can sometimes cause thinning!

Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Sleep - Lavender and Chamomile

For Christmas, Hillary's 17-year-old son gifted me with a stuffed black sheep (he inherited his mother's sense of humor) and a big bottle of Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Sleep Body Wash with lavender and chamomile. My first two, ungrateful thoughts:
1) Oh, great, another bottle of freaking body wash.
2) Oh, great, lavender and chamomile. I always wanted to smell like an 85-year-old shut-in.

But I was more than pleasantly surprised when I used the wash that night before bed. I don't know about any of the claims that the formula helps induce a restful night's sleep, but I do know that it smells absolutely incredible. It's nothing like the old lady-ish scent I feared, and the lavender gives it a slight masculine edge that I love. (Beauty trivia: Prince Charles wears cologne made from the lavender he grows in his gardens at Highgrove.) 

I met with the PR rep that handles Bath & Body Works' Aromatherapy line last week, and gushed to her about how much I love this fragrance. She gave me a bottle of hand soap in the same exact scent, and I have been become even more OCD about washing my hands ever since. I'm also smelling my fingers a lot, which I'm sure would look strange if there was anyone around to watch me, but since there isn't, I will continue to be a finger sniffer.
 Now all I need is the body lotion and my life will be complete.
PS: B&BW is having a two for $20 sale on selected mix and match body care products right now, so this would be a good time to stock up.
