Jenna Hipp Essential Nail and Hand Cream: My New Fave!

In these winter months (yes...even in sunny California), my hands are getting really really dry.Thank goodness for my new favorite hand cream---Jenna Hipp Essential Nail & Hand Cream which retails for the shockingly low price of $20 for 3 of them.Yes. Three 4 oz tubes of this heavenly stuff at Costco. Go. Go and run my lovelies.

Not only are the tubes cute and rather expensive looking, but the formula was developed my Jenna Hipp, celebrity green nail stylist, who has worked on covers of the biggest magazines as has a nail wrap line with NCLA. Cool.But let's go back to the green part. This is a healthy hand cream without all the gross stuff.No Parabens, Synthetic Dyes, Phthalates, PEG, and no Artificial Fragrance. Also, it is cruelty free and 20% pure shea butter. Awesome.This stuff works overtime and has left my hands so soft. I seriously want a vat of this to just roll around in. There is a slight fragrance, mostly coming from the myrhh plant, which I love the fragrance of, but it is really unobtrusive and natural.Pick up the set and keep all three for yourself, or give the other two away to your besties!
Also....it is a miracle...but there is actually stuff going on on my other two blogs! And it will continue!

Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelée in Paradise Poppy: Swatches and Review

Hi Pandas! I have a product I picked up on my trip to Maui that I could not love more even if I tried! Josie Maran's Coconut Cheek Gelées are getting rave reviews everywhere, and I had to see about the madness for myself! 

 I picked up the gorgeous coral pink color called Poppy Paradise ($22) even though it was so hard to decide between colors! 

 

According to Josie Maran's website, these Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelées are 50% coconut water, have the amazing benefits of Argan oil, and are a hybrid cream/gel stain that can last up to 14 hours.

 

And yes, these definitely stain. Even if it is on your fingertip for .03 seconds, it will leave a stain, so there is power in this formula, which is great for those long days!

 

 

I think the color itself is incredible: so vibrant and juicy looking and I didn't want to even dip into it because it was so pretty! Now, let me tell you all the other amazing things about this cheek gelée. All natural ingredientsRecyclableParaben freeNo synthetic fragranceVeganGluten freeCruelty free Um, that is pretty amazing! Not only are you wearing a product that is great for your skin, but it healthy for the environment as well and I totally support that. Go Josie! 

 Here is the tiniest amount of product (this will last you a lifetime) on the back of my hand. The color is a warm pink with a hint of coral and I love it. This is also really easy to blend because of the high coconut water content.  

 On cheeks it gives the most natural flush of color. I know what I will be wearing the rest of the summer! Panda Approved Have you tried these amazing pots of joy? Do tell!

Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream: Quick Review

Okay so you know how I am obsessed with cuticle stuff right?

Well, here is another product to add to my insane arsenal of cuticle care including Sally Hansen Quick Care Pen and Avojuice lotions! Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream.

Burt's Bees Lemon Butter cuticle cream retails for about $5 depending on if you order from their website or get it at Target, Ulta, or Walmart. It is 100% natural and not tested on animals. It has sweet almond, lemon, sunflower, and soybean oils as well as rosemary and cocoa butter to moisten and heal. It does contain beeswax, so it is not vegan. It is a thick paste in a small tin that has a dry consistency so it is quick to absorb.

Anyone looking for a way to heal their damaged, dry, or out-of-shape cuticles in these winter months. Cuticle care is far better than cuticle clipping, so invest in the right products. I recommend my above staples but this is a great substitute for the pricier Lemony Flutter by LUSH. This is a great product for on the go, works well, and smells so good!

I am already in love. It took my rough cuticles from a day out in cold weather and made them pretty and polished for manicure pictures forthcoming. Non-greasy, which I love! Wish the packaging came wrapped though so people can't dig into these in the store.

Price: 9/10
Performance: 9/10
Color/Wearability: N/A
Packaging: 7/10
Overall Quality: 9/10

Total: 34/40 = B+ = Happy Panda! 

Are you a fan of the Burt's Bees line? I love that they are all natural and that this smells like fresh lemons!
