Spa Day Any Day

I love the idea of going to a spa, I mean how could you not with the pampering, relaxation and not to mention leaving the gorgeous woman you were meant to be.  But, let’s be honest, these days such extravagances are well…extravagant.

However, I don’t think you should deny yourself some pampering and that’s why I am all about at-home spa treatments.  I was lucky enough to be approached by the folks over at Cuccio Naturalé to try out some of their amazing spa-inspired products and I was happy to oblige.  I received a sea salt scrub, cuticle pen and a moisturizing lotion and have used each of them for several weeks now and I have to say they have been a treat to use.

cuccio cuticle penCuticle Conditioning Butter Sticks:  I’m not going to lie, my cuticles are not my best feature at times and my wallet doesn’t always allow me to get a professional manicure.  But, after using the cuticle pen almost everyday, my nails have been whipped into shape.  Not only does this cuticle pen help mend ragged cuticles by moisturizing with Shea Butter, Vitamin A & E and Olive Oil, but it also doubles as a cuticle pusher.  I also was more than slightly obsessed with the Pomegranate and Fig scent.

cuccio lytesCuccio Lytes Moisturizer:  I am big on washing my hands and using lots of instant hand sanitizer throughout the day, and while this may keep the Swine Flu away, it also strips moisture from my hands.  I love a heavy moisturizer to apply before bedtime, but at work I am constantly using my hands and the last thing I need is slippery paws.  For this reason, the Lytes moisturizer is currently sitting on my desk at work.  It provides great moisture, but without taking forever to soak into my skin.  My coworkers like it too…there’s been a lot of heavy traffic by my desk lately.  I also love the Pomegrantate and Acai fragrance which not only smells good, but also delivers powerful antioxidants to keep your skin looking healthy by keeping fine lines and wrinkles at bay.   

cuccio sea saltSea Salt Scrub:  Who doesn’t love a good scrub?  I know I do and I am all about exfoliating in the winter time when my skin is at its worst!  This sea salt scrub not only smells and feels amazing in the shower or bath, but it also leaves your skin smooth and prepped for moisturizer.  I also get a really close shave on the days that I exfoliate…but please keep in mind to always shave after you exfoliate, especially with sea salt scrubs, because it can really sting freshly shaved legs.

You can get all three of these items for far less than a single spa treatment…not to mention you can use these over and over again.  To check out more items and all the scents that these particular items have to offer, click here…I don’t think you’ll be dissappointed!

About Cupcakes Taste Nice

My lust for beauty products has been around since I was a kid. I always wanted the most eye catching packaging and the sweetest scents. As a preteen I could not wait to get my first pimple so that I could try out the different acne products that were marketed to me in magazines and on TV. As I got older I just loved the girlie side of wanting to look and feel pretty. I love taking a shower on Saturday morning and having a plethora of products to choose from depending on my mood that day. I anticipate my beauty and style magazines coming in the mail so I can read and research new products. I even spend hours on the internet searching for factual reviews of the latest and greatest products.
