Everyone Face Moisturizer Review

Happy Friyay Lovelies!! 

I hope everyone had a wonderful week! 

I recently ran out of my facial lotion, and since I'm currently travelling I decided to go ahead and just try something new.  I was able to run into a local Whole Foods to peruse their natural skincare section.  I ended up choosing the brand Everyone (gluten free, GMO free, synthetic fragrance free, and cruelty free).  The moisturizer I chose boasted of incredible ingredients including Argan Oil, Mango Seed Butter, Hyaluronic Acid and pure essential oils.  It was also a generous 8 ounces housed in a pump container for only 9.99! 

After using this facial lotion for the past couple of weeks I can happily report that I am impressed.  It applies smoothly with zero greasy residue, and is lightly scented with Bergamot, Lavender and Ylang Ylang essential oils.  I like that it sinks into my skin quickly and doesn't make my skin feel heavy throughout the day (some natural brands tend to do that due to all the oils/butters used).  I've also noticed it makes a nice base for makeup to apply smoothly on top.

Overall I really like this brand, and look forward to checking out the rest of their line.  My only complaint would be that it didn't offer any SPF protection.  However, I take part of the blame for not going out of my way to choose a facial lotion WITH that added benefit. 

If you're in the market for an all natural face moisturizer that leaves your skin feeling soft and supple without breaking the bank then definitely check it out!!

Found Tinted Lip Balms Review

Hello Lovelies!

My apologies for being MIA for so long.  Life happens.  

Anyway, I've been visiting out of state and was lucky enough to stumble upon Walmart's new all natural brand - Found Beauty.  They carry a full range of skincare and makeup products that are created with all natural and raw materials.  Part of their story explains that they are a brand inspired by ingredients and rituals from around the world.  They strive to produce on trend high performing products that are both environmentally friendly as well as cruelty free.  

When I saw how budget friendly the prices were for all natural products I couldn't resist picking something up.  I chose to start out with their tinted lip balms, as I'm a lip product junkie.  The tinted lip balms come in four shades - Honey Kiss (pink), Tulip Kiss (coral), Poppy Kiss (red), and Berry Kiss (purple).  They were priced for 7.88 a piece.  Compared to other natural tinted lip conditioners on the market like Ilia (26.00), Kiehl's (18.00) or Tarte (19.00), 7.88 is a steal in my opinion!

Unfortunately these tinted lip balms were a miss for me.  Although I did enjoy the fact that they were unscented (heavily scented products and I don't get along), I didn't enjoy the color pay off.  The colors were so sheer that they all came off about the same when applied to my lips.  It took several passes for the arm swatches to build up enough noticeable pigment.  The formulation itself was also a very dry and waxy consistency that just seemed to sit on top of my lips.  I prefer my lippies to feel a little more buttery upon application.  If you enjoy lip balms that provide just a hint of color without being too oily however then these might just be your new best friend.

Overall I regret not picking up a few of the lipsticks instead...maybe next time!
