The latest from The Body Shop just launched this month – the new 100% Natural Lip Roll-On ($5), which is a natural lip oil treatment featuring a roller-ball application and comes in five flavors (orange, coconut, rose, berry, and mint). I tested the Natural Lip Roll-On in Mint to find out what’s so great about it, and true to it’s description, it offers non-waxy, non-sticky moisturizing properties, not to mention the mint flavor makes it hard to resist from licking my lips over and over again! The natural ingredients are fair trade and sourced from all over the world, including sunflower seed, sweet almond, avocado, and jojoba oils. P.S. – if you want to try this product now or need to stock up on your favorite products from the brand anyways, TheBodyShop.com is offering a Buy 1 Get 1 50% Off deal.

We’re Loving Lulu Frost’s Art Deco Inspired Pieces for J. Crew! (thefind Guest Post)
From our friends at thefind.com:
Given the surplus of ridiculously cheap jewelry I’ve collected from Forever 21 and Old Navy (hey, it doesn’t look as cheap as it is – at least not until the 10th wear, and by then it’s practically bought itself!), I have a hard time justifying splurging on bangles and baubles. I mean, why spend so much money on a single piece of fine jewelry for myself when I can get a whole handful of faux trinkets for a fraction of the price? Of course, there are always exceptions… namely when a genius collaboration of designers births an accessories line so chic, I can’t bear to pass it up, even if it goes against all my more practical budgeting plans. And the long-anticipated Lulu Frost for J. Crew collection is definitely one of those lines that’s worth pushing frugality to the wayside. Incorporating all sorts of on-trend styles like chunky bangles, multi-colored enamel jazzed up with sparkling crystal accents, and bold geometric shapes, these updated Art Deco inspired pieces are the perfect contrast to the upcoming season’s oversized sweaters, muted hues, and chunky knits! Plus, ranging in price from around $45 to $135, you can still indulge without feeling too impractical… plus, these pieces won’t fall apart by the 12th time you wear them!
