25 Day of Beauty: Fruity Beauty

December 11, 2014

As little girls, most of us got our first “makeup” in the form of a strawberry-flavored lip gloss or perhaps a citrus-scented lotion. We grew to appreciate more sophisticated beauty options — but that doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy a good throwback now and again. These four fruity beauty products are just some of the many grown-up ones out there. From apples to grapefruits, we’ve got you covered.

Tastyface Organics Blood Orange Vanilla Body Butter, $25

“A combo of creamsicle and chocolate” is how this body butter is described by Tastyface Organics — what more do you really need to hear? Made with cocoa butter, organic shea, coconut and almond, it’s a perfect gift for friends who enjoy a good nourishing skin cream.

The Body Shop Glazed Apple Lip Balm, $6

Stocking stuffer alert! One of The Body Shop’s seasonal scents this year is glazed apple. This limited edition, beeswax-based lip balm in a tin has a very light green apple flavor. There’s also a Glazed Apple soap, shimmer lotion, shower gel, body spray, and body butter if you need to add more goodies.

Mary Kay Winter Wishes Eau de Toilette Wand, $20

Give the gift of fragrance with a Mary Kay eau de toilette wand — a purse-sized, fruity scent of apple, citrus and jasmine. You could even surprise your giftee on Christmas morning by hanging the pretty tube package on the tree.

Yes To Grapefruit Exfoliating Body Wash, $9.99

You’ve probably heard of the “Yes To” line, which products dedicated to carrots, blueberies, and other fruits and veggies. The Yes To Grapefruit products are packed with vitamin C and citric acid, making the Yes To Grapefruit Exfoliating Body Wash a perfect stocking stuffer for a bathing beauty in your life.
