Glowing Mama Review and Giveaway!!!

{Please note}:  This giveaway is now closed!

I am SO excited to share another awesome review and giveaway today and this one's brought to you courtesy of my friend Kari over at p.s. love love! 

Kari recently opened up her own Etsy shop where she sells some amazing hand-made skin products including Nourishing Belly Butter (for pregnant Mamas), Delicate Baby Lotion and Glowing Sugar Scrub, just to name a few!  The name of her little business is called Glowing Mama and you can find it by going here...





 
 
Here's a quick look at the awesome products she carries in her shop...

I was super jazzed when Kari offered to send me a product of my choice to sample.  I thought it would be neat to try out some lotion for Livvie, so I picked the Delicate Baby Cream.  Our package came at the beginning of last week and I was very excited to open up the box and get to "testing" out our cream!  Here's what it looks like...
~Front of the jar~

                            ~Back of the jar...just in case you want to read the ingredients!~

The directions on the jar were to apply to baby right after bathtime, so that's what I did.  My big girls also wanted to try out the lotion too, so I put a little on them as well.  They really liked it, especially Audrey who kept asking for more!  :)  The lotion has a "richness" to it similar to body butters I've tried in the past and it didn't take much to cover Livvie's little body.

Over the last several days after her bath, I've been putting it on Livvie and her skin's been so smooth!  I've even been applying it on my own hands right before bed since they always tend to be dry and it's really been helping out too!  I'm thinking I should order some of Kari's Hydrating Hand lotion for myself before I end up using all of the baby's lotion! :)

What I love about Glowing Mama products is that they're all natural and totally safe for your skin, unlike many store bought skin care products that are made with harmful ingredients.

Check out these tidbits about her products as well.  Kari...

~Uses expeller pressed, organic oils (when available)
~Uses absolutely NO artificial or synthetic ingredients
~Uses glass containers which is healthier and more environmentally friendly then plastic
~Uses 100% essential oils for the scented products
~Uses 100% pure grade honey beeswax
~Uses filtered water or infused filtered water (infused with flowers or herbs)

Kari also makes every lotion "made to order," meaning it's not made until it's ordered, so it's completely fresh!  Pretty awesome huh?

So how would you like to win a FREE Glowing Mama product of your choice?  Here's how you can enter:

Be sure to leave me a separate comment for each entry so that I can use Random.org to select the winner.  If you don't "follow the rules," I might be forced to cut out tiny strips of paper with all your names on them so that I can pick a name out of a bowl! :)  I have been known to do that a time or two!

I'll leave the giveaway open until next Sunday, July 18th at 11:59 p.m. PST and I'll announce the winner on my Monday post!  Thanks so much for entering and I hope you're just as excited about Kari's products as I am!

Disclosure:  I was given the jar of Delicate Baby Cream to review and share here on my blog and although the product was given to me for free, the opinions I expressed are my own.  Thanks so much Kari for providing me with this awesome lotion!

Look at all the comments! :)

I'd have to say I'd want to try the Baby cream, too. with a lavendar scent if possible. You probably could've guessed I'd want to try that one, huh!?!?!
