Weekly Roundup 4: Kiehl’s, Fresh, Bumble & Bumble, and Egyptian Magic

I started wearing Fresh “Sugar Lychee” in 2017 when I read the scent description online. I didn’t even smell it in person which is usually pretty risky when it comes to picking a new perfume but as soon as it arrived I immediately loved how sweet and tangy it smelled. So, this past Christmas I decided to add a couple more Fresh scents to my collection. I like to layer one or two of them at a time to build a more complex fragrance but they are great on their own. My favorite combo is the signature Brown Sugar scent as a base on my wrists and neck with a half spray of the Grapefruit on top. On its own I find the grapefruit to be a bit too sweet smelling so the combination of the two works really nicely.

I would definitely recommend any of these scents if you like sweet, fruity and clean smelling fragrances! Plus they are made with natural ingredients  which is an added bonus if you are trying to get into “clean beauty”.

2. Next up is the Bumble and Bumble Prêt à Powder… $28

This dry shampoo is a total hair life saver. As someone with long hair that takes forever to dry, I typically only wash my hair once a week. After about three days my hair starts to get greasy at my scalp so I’m a big fan of dry shampoo. I love the Living Proof spray aerosol dry shampoo but always keep one of these bumble and bumble powdered dry shampoos on me, especially when traveling.

This product is a two in one so it soaks up excess oil and adds volume to your roots. My biggest tip would be to shake a generous amount into your hair AT NIGHT. That way when you’re sleeping the natural tossing and turning will work most of it into your hair and you won’t add any more oils with your fingers. If you have to apply in the morning use a brush to work it back and forth and make sure to brush it thoroughly so you aren’t left with a white hairline or grayish looking tone.

This shakes out in a chalky white powder so you really have to work it in! Apply at night to wake up with clean looking hair and volumized roots.

3. Egyptian Magic … $15-30

I think I’m kinda late jumping on this product’s band wagon. I know a lot of ladies who swear by this all purpose salve/balm. It’s made from 100% natural ingredients and is suitable for people with sensitive skin (me).

I started off trying to lather this all over my arms and legs after a shower but I think I got ahead of myself. It is a very thick balm that needs to be warmed up in your hands and really blended in to work. It took a while to soak in and the next morning my arms were so smooth. I have keratosis pilaris on the backs of my arms so I’m always trying to find something to help smooth them.

For daily use, I slather this on my lips and cuticles before bed and on the back of my hands. A little goes a long ways and it’s a great price so I would definitely recommend getting a tub. Also if you shop at Costco I saw a huge pack for sale if you want to share with a friend, or family of five.

Like I’ve said before I have pretty sensitive skin so I am weary of trying new products, especially on my face. The sales representative at the Kiehl’s counter assured me this soothing mask would be great to add to my weekly routine and would also help inflammation or redness when I do have a bad reaction.

The product is like a gel and smells so good. It feels like you are in a spa the second you slather this over your face. It leaves my skin feeling super hydrated and calm.
