Pacifica-wesome!

Hey Hey fellow beauty addicts and product junkies. This month Bloom.com mailed me an ambassador package full of sweet smelling products to make my skin soft, sexy, and sun kissed. First thing I found when I opened my package PACIFICA:

SEXY! I almost didn't want to open it!
I wish you could scratch 'n' sniff this pic!
Just when I thought the packaging couldn't get any better I opened the box to find a surprising amount of products. First thing you'll notice is the awesome scent. Seriously the smell is amazing; the combination of vanilla, coconut, and blood orange body butters creates this powerful sweet smelling scent bomb that just explodes in your face when you open the box. I am so happy I got to spend my weekend playing with all the products below.

It's moisturizing and quenching feeling and left my skin feeling soft for longer than most moisturizers. I like the shimmery sparkles – wasn’t expecting that … but I don’t use bronzer often and I honestly didn't realize it was a bronzer at first....my bad : ) It's actually not as dark as your average bronzer. Pleasant coconut smell not too strong but I wouldn't mind some extra coconut. The 2oz size is perfect for travel and would be a must on any vacation especially one to a tropical destination. This lotion would compliment the perfect post vaca tan as well. You can buy the full size 8oz product for $24.
Moisturizing and slightly oily feeling but not overwhelming. It left my skin feeling slightly tacky at first but that cleared up after a few minutes. I LOVE the citrus smell!!! The lotion is thick and takes a minute to absorb but I do enjoy the extra massage I give myself using this after my shower. My skin is on the drier side and it made me feel hydrated and soft. I think this is a lotion I could get used to using! P.S. I love that it is natural! The full 8oz size can be bought for $18. It also comes in Indian Coconut Nectar, which I was able to try I wasn't as impressed with the scent but the feel of the lotion is the same.
I know it says “Big Moisture” but I think its average. When I think of “Big Moisture,” I think of quenching, penetrating, and softening moisture. Pacifica just feels like the typical kind of lip balm of which just covers the lip with an oily film. Although its a very cute long lasting oily film!
Coconut Nectar Lips
Overall, this particular balm with the cocoa butter does feel like how raw cocoa butter feels on my lips. Mild coconut fragrance, as I have noticed on their other coconut products. It is a generous amount of lip balm, which is always nice! One problem I find is that there is no sunscreen in the balm; some SPF content would be nice. I like that the packaging is recyclable and that the product is 100% vegan. I also like that a portion of proceeds is donated to support clean water. That is something I'd like to learn more about from Pacifica. The price of the balm is $9 which is a great price for the large amount you get. It comes in six colors on Bloom but I really like the coconut nectar color.
Pretty little glass roller bottle perfect for keeping in your purse and on the go. The initial smell off the bottle is overpowered with a small tinge of rubbing alcohol? Kind of off putting and distracting from the typical vanilla smell which comes after. On the skin the alcohol smell doesn’t exist and the fragrance is a nice sweet vanilla. For $12 you get .33oz of a sweet smelling perfume great for summer that is convenient and can slip in your purse, gym bag, or luggage.
