KIO KIO -- Review & Giveaway -- CLOSED!!!

CONTEST CLOSED!!!

What soothes and refreshes you? For me, it's a nice, long hot shower or bath... the soothing fragrance of body wash and soaps... followed by a lightly-scented body mist and silky body creme.

Your idea of heaven, too?

It's definitely the idea behind Kio Kio, a New Zealand based companmy that believes in pampering women with the finest ingredients available.

I was invited to try Kio Kio and jumped at the chance. Who doesn't want to feel luxurious?



I was sent the amazing Citrus Petal and Tarata Body Wash and Body Creme. This fragrance has a light, citrusy coolness that is so refreshing in the heat of Southeast Georgia. My favourite time to use it is at night, before bedtime. Oh, I sleep so well...



Tarata was traditionally used as a perfume in thermal pools to revive tired muscles. The Tarata tree has sweet, lemon scented leaves and flowers that were used as potent, scented healing oil when mixed with other native botanicals - and it was also sometimes used as an aphrodisiac!

Kio Kio has four very distinct fragrances, all inspired by the nature and beauty of New Zealand:
*Citrus Petal and Tarata
*Pacific Tiare & Ti Kauka
*Rainforest & Koromiko
*Frangipani & Puriri
