Smelling and Looking Great with BARE -- BARE Body Collection Review

When I was looking for products to bring you for our Valentine's Day Gift Guide, I had no idea I was about to hit the mother load when I came across BARE Body Collection! This company has a lot to offer. Martha sent me a few products to share with you guys, so lets get to work!


This is a lighthearted tale of a young woman's determination to ride out a stormy economy and come out on top. Martha Choy’s journey into the highly competitive arena of fashion from her upscale-resale fashion website, Martha’s Closet and jettisoning right into the beauty industry in less than one year, with her exclusive BARE® fragrance and skin care line, while working full time as an investment bank compliance director on Wall Street, is a story that Martha tells can tell with her caustic and dry humor. If you give her a few minutes, she will have you in stitches laughing about her travails. Move over, Chelsea Lately and Bethenny Frankel!

BARE® skincare products are blended by Martha in her garden apartment on East 81st Street in New York.
Five trademarks later (and yes, if you are wondering, Martha does own the word BARE®), and a 280+ product line of exotic scents and luxurious formulas with names like BARE-ly Legal®, BARE®-foot in the Park and a travel collection called BAREfly®, Martha Choy’s BARE® skincare collection is now being recognized as a rising star in the beauty and skincare universe.
A skincare collection called BARE® sounds sexy, and you might be wondering if I'm advocating something sinful. Perish the thought! The only thing sinful about these products is the exotic scents and luxurious formulas.



As I mentioned above, Martha sent me a few products to try out. We have varieties that range between perfume to creams to massage oils! I love that BARE provides so many products to choose from. You are for sure going to find something that fits in great with what you are looking for!



The Bare-ly There Skin Toner is designed to help you with blemishes on your skin. I can tell you that this product works great. I broke my rules and had a little gluten. Of course I knew the result would be some unpleasant acne on my face. I dabbed a little of Bare-ly There on the effected area and I know doing this helped the acne clear up just a bit faster!



After using the Sugar Facial Scrub, my face felt smooth and relaxed! There isn't really a scent other than one of sugar, but who needs to smell something when you're putting it on your face, right? The scrub comes out of the jar easily and dissolves great when water is added to it.
BARE NAKED TRUTH Skin Lightening Cream is designed to help with evening out the coloration of your skin. This would be perfect for when a woman is experiencing extra color splotches due to hormone episodes. The cream is absorbed easily and does not have a scent. Best part about the cream is it has an SPF of 30! I'll be keeping this one around for sure for my next pregnancy!

Next up is the perfumes Martha sent me to try out and share! She sent a few scents in solid form and one in liquid form. The liquid scent is my favorite. Dare to be Bare came to me in a small tube, easy to flip over and apply. The scent is a little sweet and floral smelling. It is pleasant on my skin. This is a scent I could wear daily as I am around the house, at a meeting or even running errands!


The solid perfumes Martha sent are a lot stronger right out of the package compared to the liquid scent. I do like the idea of solid perfume though! You can take it with you and don't have to worry about it leaking in your bag. ECSTASY, BARE, HEAT and BRILLIANCE all have a similar scent to me. They all reacted differently once on my skin but had similar qualities that lie in the floral and earthy scents. BRILLIANCE was my favorite of all. A few of these scents can be worn by a woman or man, make sure you check them out on their Website.

The last set of products I am want to share with you are my favorite!  Giving the BARE for Your Beau Beauty Bon Bons are perfect for Valentine's Day... Heart box and all!


Inside this box I found items that would be a perfect as a Valentine's Day gift!  You can start with the "Coco" Chocolate Lip Liqueur to get your lips tasting deliciously.  Dig in and soften your skin with Blue Gardenia Body Butter.  I love the smell of this body butter!  Its got a floral scent but it is very subtle.  Next, apply the BARELY LEGAL solid Perfume.  This perfume would be perfect for going out for a night on the town or staying in with your Hunny.  After you are smelling great, share your Chocolate Massage Oil while you get a little close.  For the next morning, be sure to use your BARE Naked Bag Blaster for those sleepy eyes and dark circles.  See?  This box came to me with a perfect Night In for myself and my husband!  BARE Body Collection has me covered!
