Fresh Brown Sugar EDP & Black Tea Age-Delay Face Serum
March 3, 2011 Are you ready for spring? I sure am. While we're entertaining Mother Nature's schizo weather patterns, I've been basking in the lovely Brown Sugar Eau de Parfum from Fresh. This new fragrance is inspired by Brown Sugar Body Polish, one of the brand's cult products. Effervescent and bright, this yummy scent captures the warm, comforting experience of sugar. I can't stop myself from sniffing my wrists after spraying it on. It's like having a layer of citrus candy on my skin!
Here are the fragrance notes:
Top Notes: Sicilian lemon, tangerine, açaí
Heart Notes: sugared magnolia, sheer honeysuckle, peach nectar
Base notes: caramel, warm amber, cypress
Fresh also has a new skin care launch. Their Black Tea Age-Delay Face Serum is a concentrated blend of advanced antioxidants that restores the complexion for firmer, smoother skin. Black tea extract is the secret to this formula. This extract protects the integrity of cell membranes to prevent lines and wrinkles from forming. It also helps jumpstart collagen production, which is an important step to maintaining younger-looking skin.
The serum itself feels more like a rich gel cream than a typical liquid serum. It feels very comfortable and absorbs nicely into the skin. Test results also proved its powerful effect. After 24 hours, the skin treated with the serum was 52% more hydrated than untreated skin. In an independent consumer panel, 94% of those who used the Black Tea Age-Delay Serum for 4 weeks noticed an improvement in elasticity and texture while 91% reported a firming effect.
Other key ingredients include rice peptides and mamaku extract, which aid in cellular turnover. Lychee seed extract stimulates new collagen growth, while blackberry leaf extract inhibits the break down of collagen and elastin. Seabuckthorn berry oil is also included for cell regeneration, and evening primrose root extract helps restores sun damaged skin.

I can just see you sniffing your wrist every five minutes! LOL
My husband used to make fun of me when I bought Thymes products. I would be sniffing the bottles every hour, so much so, he joked that I was getting high off of hand lotion.
I was sniffing every 5 minutes, lol! Did you see that news story how folks are getting high off bath salts? Crazy.
