Olay Soothing Cucumber Massaging Body Bar Review ~ Moxie Beauty Bath & Body Review

Hello Moxie Beauties! 

I was shopping the Target soap aisle last week looking for a new soap to try that was both refreshing for the warm weather we've been having, yet moisturizing for dry winter skin! I came across this Olay Soothing Cucumber bar with interesting massage design and decided it just might be perfect! ;) I've been using this soap for a while now, so here's my review!

This review is for Olay Soothing Cucumber Massaging Body Bar.

The Scent:

What I love most about this Soap is the scent! If you're a fan of Bath and Body's Cucumber Melon you're going to love it! The Cucumber scent is strong yet pleasant and not overpowering. The Cucumber scent is very Spa like! It's calming and neutral. The scent is just perfect for Spring and Summer and will be oh so refreshing in hot weather! :)

The Lather:

Even though this is a glycerin/oil based and not a creamy/oil based soap, it does manage to still create a good lather for the bath Poof or Loofah.

The Ingredients:
sodium palmate, sodium palm kernelate, water/eau, glycerin, sorbitol, palm kernel acid, fragrance/parfum, cucumis sativus (cucumber) fruit extract, persea gratissima (avocado) oil, mentha piperita (peppermint) leaf, sodium chloride, tetrasodium edta, tetrasodium etidronate, iron oxides, yellow 10, green 3.

The ingredients in this soap doesn't qualify to make it into our beloved Green Beauty category but the ingredients are impressive for a Drugstore Non-Organic product. Olay products are known to be generally quality and trustworthy.

What About That Massage Bead Design?

When I first opened the box and seen the design, I figured the massage bead design will have almost no lasting power. Normally I use my bar soap on a Poof or Loofah and rarely ever right onto the body itself. I tried using this on different areas and it didn't really do much. I thought maybe it would be good for helping as a cellulite massage...not really. But I did discover that this little soap does big things on your tooties! This massage bead design was destined for the bottoms of your feet! If you have tired and aching feet use this bar on the bottoms. Ohhh so so Heavenly! Definitely makes it all worth while. :) As far as the Massage Bead lasting power, expect to get 1 or 2 uses out of this bar and they will be completely washed away. :( 

The Lasting Power:

I would rate the Lasting Power a solid 4! I can smell the scent on my skin hours after a shower. It's a clean, refreshing after scent. Would be perfect if you're taking a shower before you'll be outdoors and sweating and also perfect for after a workout! It will leave you feeling clean and refreshed. :)

Was this soap true to it's description?

The product promises to be Refreshing, Soothing, Massaging and Moisturizing. It definitely does all four of those things! My skin felt moisturized and clean, not dry and flakey or like there was any residue left behind. Another great product Olay!

Moxie Rates This Olay Soothing Cucumber Massaging Body Bar:

4 Kisses!

If you'd like to try this soap but are unable to locate it in store, eBay always is always a great place to look :)

Find a great deal on Olay on eBay.

If you're wanting to try this soap but are not a fan of Cucumber the back of the box says they have other scents in the massage design. Luscious Embrace (Orchid), Silk Whimsy (Peony) and Purely Pristine (Clean). I want to try them all! :)

2013 Red Carpet Grammy Awards Fashion Hits & Misses ~ Moxie Beauty Review ~ Celeb Fashion

Sunday during the 55th annual Grammy awards celebrities walked down the red carpet, and the fashion was all over the place! Though the dress code was 'Please don't show a lot of skin', it didn't deter a few. 

This year red carpet fashion wasn't as eventful as some years past, though some gowns really stole the show.

55th Annual Grammy Awards Red Carpet

First Look: Rihanna

Rihanna looks absolutely amazing in her elegant red Alia gown. We're used to seeing Rihanna in alternative and sexy attire and wild hair styles but she really cleaned up beautifully for the awards show. Her hair in a natural color with soft curls, her matching lipstick, nailpolish and classy jewelry selection really shines. The vibrant color really flatters her skin tone. This is really a beautiful look on her!

_______

Adele

This year Adele chose to wear a floral Valentino dress, floral pumps and black bucket bag. Though the red and pinks go beautifully with her fair skin, we're not a big fan of this selection. We think this dress takes too much attention from her gorgeous face! We don't like this dress form on her either, it makes her bottom half look enormous. This style dress is best worn on someone who is looking to add curves to their appearance. We would have loved to see Adele accentuate her own curves instead. Her hair and makeup is as beautiful as ever.

_____________

Carrie Underwood

We love Carrie Underwood's stunning black strapless Roberto Cavalli gown but it's her necklace that really takes the cake. People magazine reported that Carrie's necklace is a Johnathon Arndt piece worth $31 million dollars! The necklace is made from 381 carats of oval, pear, marquise and round white diamonds, Wow. After all she is channeling old Hollywood glam and diamonds are a girls best friend! Later in the evening this gown was replaced with an extravagant light up LED display gown during her performance. 

Carrie's LED Display Performance Dress
________

Taylor Swift

Miss Swift channeled a Goddess wearing a beautiful Grecian inspired white and silver embellished cutout gown by  J. Mendel. This backless dress was on the very edge of breaking the Grammy's Dress Code advisory with a plunging neckline and two front slits. Taylor said she wanted to channel Katniss from the Hunger Games with her romantic braided up-do and bangs. It's probable Taylor's exes are kicking themselves for letting this Gorgeous girl get away. 

_____________

Beyonce

After Beyonce's super sexy Super Bowl ensemble, this black & white graphic crepe jumpsuit by Osman Studio was a bit unexpected. Though we don't think it's much of a head turner, or the ideal Grammy wardrobe, it's a very classy and dynamic way to followup her Super Bowl performance. She paired it with beautiful black heels, Art Deco bangles, a chic ponytail and bold red lips. She looks bright and fresh and we do think she nailed this look! Go B!

__________

Katy Perry

Katy Perry says she aimed to channel a 70's Priscilla Presley with her skin tight mint green Gucci that showed plenty of cleavage. We love her hair, her smile, the color of the dress and the adant-garde dress adornments. She looks absolutely beautiful but at the same time something seems to be off with this look. We can't quite put our finger on it. We love Katy and she definitely has one of the best Hollywood bodies! ;)

______
Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer is known for wearing some of the most iconic Grammy dresses of all time (remember that green Versace plunging bikini cover up?) This year the Glam star showed some major leg in an Anthony Vacarello look from the Spring Runway collection. We like her sleek bun and strapped heels. We do think she could have chosen something a little more vibrant and flattering but she wore this dress well.

___________

Kimbra

The up and coming Kiwi songstress Kimbra, (the female voice that debuts in 'Somebody That I Used to Know' top hit) wore a darling pearl-encrusted and light turquoise tulle dress designed by Perth.  "The pearls are sprinkled around the hem of the gown, slowing graduating up the dress and into the bodice which is covered in gold beads, crystals and more pearls, all which are hand sewn" says Perth dress designer Jamie Lee Major. This Fairytale like gown was inspired by the designers recent trip to Broome and the way the golden sunset shined onto the turquoise water. Though the dress looks lightweight Kimbra said the dress was very heavy from the weight of all the pearls. Her stunning smile, simple makeup, beautiful curls and unique dress is our favorite look of the night! Kimbra was beyond excited to be apart of the awards event and it's true that the happiest girls are the prettiest!

______

Kelly Rowland

Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child definitely broke some rules this Grammy season with a jaw-dropping black cutout dress by Georges Chakra. Kelly's dress is very sexy and unique and strategically cut in all the right spots. We especially love the gathered bottom, however we're not a fan of her hairstyle with this look. Despite the dramatic skin baring dress she manages to still appear elegant. We know that Kelly is trying to make a comeback and this statement dress is one way, however we would have liked to see her standout in something a little more flashy in color and sparkle!

_________

Kelly Osbourne

Because Kelly Osbourne is a member of the Fashion Police we have huge expectations of her fashion selections! She seemed to play it safe with Paule Ka black cut out halter dress and Gold Purangaw jewelry.  Last year she sparkled and shined in her champange dress by Tony Ward. We're very disappointed in her selection this year. I hope the Fashion Police don't review her look! Next time Kelly, we expect you'll wear something extra special! :)

And the Moxie Beauty Award for the Best Two Looks this 2013 Grammys Goes To.......

Kimbra!

and Rihanna! Naturally. 

Both stars looked Amazing!
