I can’t believe it’s already February, seriously. But I couldn’t be happier to reveal the latest Beauty Heroes box! It’s perfect for these cold weather months and for helping you sleep, which is always a big plus in my book. I always praise Beauty Heroes for their product selection and a lot of this is due to the great brands they select, but I have to point out how mindful they seem to be about the timing of certain products. Their great timing holds true this month as the hero is none other than Night Body Oil by Osmia.
Osmia knows cold weather. Located in Colorado, you can peep their Instagram to see Osmia founder, Dr. Sarah Villafranco, running in the cold, frolicking across snowy mountains with her two Border Collies, making soap and doing handstands everywhere. She left a career in emergency medicine to start Osmia and live a more mindful, connected life. It certainly seems like she’s achieved it when you see her and her daughters’ beautiful, smiling faces, as they stay active and truly live a healthy lifestyle. Who better to create a body oil that’s moisturizing enough to stand up to the cold mountain air and calming enough to naturally help you drift off to sleep?
Though Night Body Oil is rich, it actually sinks right into your skin, leaving no greasiness. That’s my biggest pet peeve with body oils- when they sit on top of your skin and leave you greasy. None of that here though. This is deeply nourishing and long lasting. Also, it’s formulated with a blend of extracts and oils that are all calming, relaxing and help to support a good nights sleep. French lavender, Roman chamomile, and Moroccan atlas cedarwood not only help you get to sleep, but they smell so wonderful together. The oil really has such a nice scent, but it’s not overwhelming in the least. I still use some of my nighttime blends on pulse points with it and it doesn’t distract from that at all.
Also included as a side kick, they’ve included Osmia Lip Doctor. This lip balm is great for anyone, as it has simple ingredients and no essential oils. So even little ones can use it safely. This month Beauty Heroes also included a place for you to fill out your ideal nighttime ritual on the back of their insert card. I thought this was also very timely as I’m really focusing on getting to bed earlier and a big part of that is winding down earlier at night. Easier said than done since I’m a major night owl! I could stay up all night if I’m reading something interesting, but I know this doesn’t serve me well. It usually results in me being super grumpy in the morning and the next day is shot since I’m so tired. So I used the card to write down attainable nighttime routine goals for myself and I’ve been trying to stick to them.
I really have enjoyed everything I’ve tried from Osmia previously and now I have a new favorite with Night Body Oil. If you want to try Osmia, this month’s box is a great value. If you sign up before Feb. 20th, you’ll receive this month’s box. You can sign up here. As always, members receive 15% off in their Beauty Store, so you can shop Osmia and other hero brands at a discount (which is pretty awesome). Also, February’s Love More promotion is a full size Vapour Organic Siren Lipstick in Courage when you spend $125+ in the Beauty Store. Here’s to getting more beauty sleep this month! Zzzzz…
