I score the Escada Born in Paradise EDT ($75) recently because I love me some Escada perfume. This new Eau de Toilette for Spring 2014 had some delicious notes of watermelon, pineapple, coconut milk, seriously how could I resist?

Last year, Escada Cherry in the Air was a fond favorite of mine and I used it quite often (I have to be careful and reserve as it’s long since gone sob!) so I was excited when Escada launched Born in Paradise! I get terribly hyped about their seasonal releases.

If you love fruity florals this one will capture your heart.

You know cleansing conditioners at the drugstore might be a thing now but Wen Spring Orange Blossom Cleansing Conditioner makes me realize why I adore the brand so very much and can only WISH it was sold at the drugstore.

I recently got my bottle of Wen Spring Orange Blossom Cleansing Conditioner from a QVC auto delivery program I was on however, it is readily available in smaller sizes should you wish to try it. However, it is a limited edition run so in a few months time you might have a hard time locating it.

Boo! That’s the only thing I hate about Wen Seasonal scents! They disappear and I’m left hunting them down on Evil-bay!

Let’s take a look at Spring Orange Blossom!

Yup, I am indeed craving the Philosophy Melon Sorbet Collection! Let me start by saying I haven’t indulged in a Philosophy Shower Gel in literally ages. The thing is I have TOO many of them to use. It’s obscene the amount of shower gel particularly Philosophy ones I have. So I made a vow to myself NOT to indulge further until I finish up what I do have.

The good news is I’ve stuck to it for like a year and a half now. Yeah, I have so much shower gel I haven’t even used it all up in nearly a year and half. Oh lawd!

But I dunno…this new Philosophy Melon Sorbet is might tempting.

I think I might pacify myself by JUST indulging in the Pink Melon Sorbet Lip Balm, that’ll work right? If you recall Philosophy introduced Pink Almond Candy Lip Balm for Holiday 2013. This little balm was shaped like an EOS Lipshere with a dome shape. It was quite cute and quite different for Philosophy!

Needless to say I like they are keeping this on because they introduced a second lip sphere in this new Summer flavor.

Take a look!

Wen has cornered the cleansing conditioner market for quite a while now but cleansing conditioners are starting the pop up at the drugstore causing what will likely be a major trend for Spring/Summer 2014 haircare.

One of the nicest things about cleansing conditioner is the lack of nonsense and the quick, easy way you can clean and conditioner your hair in a single step! These thick, creamy hair mask-like conditioners act to cleanse your hair as they detangle, soften, and give your hair a smooth finish without parabens or sulfate in many cases!

As a Wen lover I’m actually quite happy to see cleansing conditioners at the drugstore because they are SUPER cheap at around $4-$8 dollars for a generous size bottle. Wen, as you might know, is considerably more expensive.

Here are some new cleansing conditioners to keep your eye out for at your local drugstore!

Bet you didn’t even know about one or two of ‘em!
