I’m all about the FarmHouse (FHF) Fresh Whoopie whipped white velvet Shea body creme. I love rich moisturizers especially in the winter time and I also love to smell sweet. Not too sweet just a little. The FarmHouse Fresh Whoopie gives me all that! I even liked the vintage-inspired packaging so much so I had to stare at it for few days till throwing it away:)

Whoopie! contains a supple blend of Shea and cocoa butters, jojoba seed oil, soybean oil, aloe and vitamins A and E. The butters and oils soften and soothe even the severest of dry, chapped skin, while helping to improve the skin’s elasticity. The aloe and vitamin E also help to calm skin irritations and sunburns. Whoopie! is paraben and sulfate free.

Whoopie! retails in a giftable 10 oz. glass jar in a vintage-inspired box with a fun memorabilia image that makes it a beautiful gift and keepsake. The professional moisturizer is available in two sizes: 1 gallon jar (128 oz. net weight); 32 oz. jar (32 oz. net weight).

For more information about the Whoopie! crème or other FarmHouse Fresh professional products, please contact FarmHouse Fresh at 888-773-9626 or visit online at www.farmhousefreshgoods.com . The products can be enjoyed at luxury spas and resorts across the country including Glen Ivy Resorts.

The latest Jo Malone launch: the Vanilla & Anise Home Candle, Bath Oil and Body Crème – hitting counters on March 1st, 2010.

Last fall, Jo Malone presented Vanilla & Anise, the fragrance inspired by the floral landscape of Madagascar, capturing the fleeting moment that the rare vanilla orchid blossoms. The fragile cream and white flowers found on the vanilla vine are a precious discovery: only one or two appear in the morning and seemingly vanish by late afternoon. To enhance your fragrance ritual, in addition to Cologne, choose from the new Bath Oil, Body Crème and Home Candle. Your senses and your home will be infused with this comforting scent.

Vanilla & Anise blends notes of bergamot, neroli and star anise to create a touch of spice sparkling above transparent layers of delicate vanilla orchid and frangipani. The warmth of vetiver, white amber and the subtlest hint of clove complete this unexpected, modern story of vanilla.

Fragrance Combining Tip:
To fragrance combine, spray one Jo Malone Cologne, let it dry, and then spray a different Cologne on top to create your unique signature scent. Or, try a Body Crème in one scent layered over a Bath Oil in another.

Combine Vanilla & Anise with Black Vetyver Café to add a rich intensity and smoky depths to this exotic, sparkling scent.

Top Notes: Sicilian Bergamot, Tunisian Neroli, Wild Fennel Flower, Star Anise

GET THE LOOK: Thanks to Celebrity Makeup Artist Gita Bass Talking Makeup has the scoop on how to get Toni Collette’s radiant look at the 67th Golden Globe Awards last night.

“For Toni Collette I combined warm healthy skin with a bronze metallic smoky eye and nude glossy lip” according to Gita. She prepped her eyes with AMOREPACIFIC Moisture Bound Intensive Vitalizing Eye Complex (available at Sephora.com)  to reduce any puffiness and to ensure the concealer and shadow stay in place all night. To create the perfect canvas for a flawless radiant complexion, Gita prepped Toni’s skin with AMOREPACIFIC Moisture Bound Refreshing Hydra Gel. The whole look was set with AMOREPACIFIC Moisture Bound Skin Energy Spray for a final touch of hydration and staying power. 

 ”I added a layer of La Mer’s The Body Crème to keep her skin looking glowing and radiant. To keep her face looking flawless I used The Radiant Concealer SPF 25 under her eyes and on any redness. I prepped her lips with the amazing La Mer Lip Balm to keep them full and hydrated all night long.” added Gita.
