Concealer Review

📷 100% Pure Long Last Concealer in Alpine Rose, Physicians Formula InstaReady Concealer, and Hynt Beauty Concealer samples Fair & Light.

 Please note that these are my thoughts & opinions. These products may work for me but not for you or vice versa. I purchased all these products with my own money.


100% Pure Long Last Concealer in Alpine Rose ($25) - The concealer is really long lasting, easy to use, and blendable. Good variety of colors, last through water, sweat, and doesn't cake. 
I really like this concealer.

Physicians Formula Insta Ready Full Coverage Concealer ($10.95) Comes in a fair, light, and medium. Easy to blend with a damp sponge and good coverage. Last half through the day. Maybe repurchase

Why I Started Foundation Thursday!

📷 All photos are by @naturalbeautymermaid

Why I started Foundation Thursday's was to explore green beauty world of foundations. What foundation agree with my skin type which is fair, sensitive, dry, rosacea, and reactive skin. On my journey try to find green beauty foundation without coconut, corn,and castor oil. Show my followers all the different type eco green foundation that are out there! Which are many!

So far with Foundation Thursday, see how these worked out after use for longer period of time.

Kjaer Weis Foundation in Lightness which is the lightest one you can get. Well, the package is eco-lux & very well known in the eco beauty community. I love the texture, little goes a long way and nice amount of product.  I really wanted this Kjaer Weis foundation to work but with my very dry skin, I have to apply an oil before foundation then mixes in the foundation. Learning that coconut oil breaks out my skin so that was a bummer then corn irritates my skin make it itchy, red and inflamed which is in this foundation. Check mark the ingredients that didn't work for me. 

Kjaer Weis Lightness Foundation Ingredients:Mica, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Seed Oil•, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride,✔ Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil•, ✔Zea Mays (Corn) Starch•, Cera Alba (Beeswax)•, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax•, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil•, Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil•, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Glyceryl Stearate, Talc, Gallic Acid.

14e Cosmetics Aloe Nourish Foundation in Seashell-01 is a pink tone type, add bonus aloe is hydrating for dry skin. I can use this only summer month due to my skin a little dark plus my pigmentation of my freckles come out more. I like this foundation because has a variety for different skin tones.

*ORGANIC

Gressa Skin Minimalist Corrective Serum Foundation was messy because it's an oil like foundation because it has skincare in it. I couldn't find good enough color for my skin tone. It was either too yellow or pink or tan. The smell of this foundation I wasn't a fan of either. Good Pigment, little goes a long way. Didn't work out for me. Foundation also contain Coconut.

Art of Organics Featuring Skin Owl, later I will do a blog about Art of Organics

Please note these are my thoughts and opinions. They may or may not work for you. These products come in Art of Organics box which I purchase monthly.

Skin Owl body+ ($46) is limited edition because it has illuminating body oil and the original is not illuminating. Breaking down the product, the illuminating is the Mica which is a rose gold mix with oil. For the tired and thirsty skin, the oil uses are sweet almond, apricot, and organic jojoba. Other oils & other extracts included are safflowers, organic olive, neem, organic aloe, vitamin e, calendula, and rosemary. 

This product was a hit with my skin type because it is tired, thirsty, and very dry. I'm sensitive to smells and skin too. This product was a big hit for me! 💛💜

Ingredients Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Oil, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Organic Jojoba) Seed Oil, Aloe Barbadensis (Organic Aloe) Leaf Oil, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Calendula Officinalis (Calendula) Flowers in Olea Europaea (Organic Olive) Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Azadirachta Indica (Neem) Seed Oil, Mica

Turmeric Beauty Bar ($24) is for all skin types. The main feature of this bar is the Turmeric which is antiseptic, antibacterial properties, reduce inflammation & glow to the skin. Other ingredients are saponin agave which is a natural hyaluronic that smoothes the skin and oatmeal to soothe and hydrate the skin. That the product can last up to 12 weeks.

 I like this foundation is great for oily or normal skin but very dry skin it doesn't work unless you really moisture. I love the concept of recycling packaging.  I would recommend getting shade sample before purchase. I will not purchase due to my dry skin, my skin breaks out due to coconut oil and corn. I see why this foundation is a hit!

Empties

    ab skincare moisturizer, schmidts deodorant, 100%Pureprimer, Ursa Major soap, Kani Body scrub, Leahlani skincare.

 These are my thought or opinions on these products. Note these products I purchased with my own money.

Ursa Major of Vermont Morning Mojo ($14)

This product is all time love for this family. Bar soap leaves you clean, fresh, and wake up scent.  🌲

Major players of Ingredients: peppermint. grapefruit, honey, coconut, volcanic rock, and shea.

We have gone through three of these bars. Repurchase 💗👍

Schmidt's Natural Deodorant Bergamot + Lime.($10)

  This deodorant didn't work with my body chemistry so it wasn't a winner. Half has been used so I gave it a chance. Not repurchase.🍋👎

ab skincare which I got from a subscription box. Not clean went bad fast. Not a repurchase.👎

 100% Pure luminous primer vitamins + antioxidants ($35)

 This product I tried to like it but it smells like Elmer's glue.I don't know if that the normal smell or I just got a dud. I'm up in the air about this product. Otherwise, maybe it went bad. Maybe repurchase.

Leahlani Honey Love 3 in 1 cleanser, exfoliator & mask ($28 small size)

I absolutely love this product! The smell of florals, sugar, and honey. It really exfoliates, cleanses and nice mask to balance skin.I would repurchase!💖

Kani Citrus Bloom body scrub ($24)

This scrub is coarse but exfoliates but hydrates. May slip in the shower. Smell is citrus heaven!

Will repurchase!💛

Rahua Hair Detox & Renewal Treatment Kit Review* Updated Photos

                        Rahua Hair Detox & Renewal Treatment Kit 

                     These are my thoughts & opinions. These products may work for me but not for you. I won this in a giveaway.

             
         

    A little bit about the product the Rahua Hair Detox & Renewal Treatment Kit ($98)  2 jars 1.5 fl oz & one bottle of oil 0.5 fl oz. You use it when your hair is not so healthy or build up. Use to remove build up from products while making your hair clean, soft, shiny, and healthy looking. It's a two part system and contains 2 treatments. This system is so detoxifying and helpful for hair. Please leave on for the recommended time & mix well. 

One part is conditioning & Two is an oil.

             My hair before was full of build up, dry scalp, oily at roots, dry ends, and filmy. This product has a essentials oil smell but also a kind of tar smell but remember this is a detox treatment, not a deep conditioner that is floral smelling. 

 Used it all! I have to say, I love this product! Rahua Treatment is so useful. My hair is cleared of buildup, oiliness, and transformed to clean, shiny, soft, healthy, the scalp is not dry, absolutely no film. This product is so helpful, so worth it. Just wish it wasn't so expensive. It's so worth a try! 💕

Rahua Detox & Renewal Treatment Ingredients:  Base Ingredients: Aqua, Herbal Infusion of Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract*, Camellia Sinensis (Green tea) Leaf Extract*, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract*, and Robus Ideous (Raspberry) Leaf Extract*, Behentrimonium Methosulfate (Colza Oil), Oenocarpus Bataua (Rahua Ungurahua) Oil, Glyceryl Stearate, Canola Oil, Glycerin, Saccharum Officinarum (Molasses) Extract, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Stearalkonium Chloride (plant derived), Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Bursera Graveolens (Palo Santo) Oil, Potassium Sorbate (plant derived), Hydrolyzed Quinoa, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Panthenol.
