Beauty Reviews

Juice Beauty Mineral Light Moisturizer with SPF - Rating of 2 and just fabulous. I love this stuff. I got the mini in a makeup swap and it is surprisingly long lasting. Very small travel size and I have been using it for well over a week. Look for trial kits at beauty sites or stores to try lots of different things. http://www.juicebeauty.com/sunprotection/ Trial sizes are $5

Also tried their cleansing milk http://www.juicebeauty.com/za/JB?PAGE=PRODUCT&CAT=MAIN.CLEANSERS_TONERS&PRODUCT.ID=33 All of their products in the cosmetic database rate from 2-4 , so fairly good for the prices and availability of these products.

Lush sample reviews:

Fresh pharmacy - Okay, not nuts about it or convinced that it cleansed well. Ditto for herbalism facial cleanser, except the smell was even worse.

I like angels on bare skin. The smell takes some getting used to but it seems to cleanse my face well and help with acne breakouts.

Another product I want to reccomend is the Pangea Organics Moisturizer, the one i have is nigerian ginger, sweet lavender and thyme. Rates a 4 at the EWG site. Smells wonderful and moisturizes well. http://www.thegreenlifecostore.com/m8_view_item.html?m8:item=364 I would prefer a lower hazard score for this price, but I got it for free in a swap so I cant complain too much on the price. This site seems to list EWG scores as well, which is a plus!

Another new item to adore is the 100 percent pure toner I got in a swap. Oh my it is wonderful, smells like essential oils and makes my skin glow! http://www.100percentpure.com/facialtreatment_5.html At $15 this is a steal. No score from the EWG on any of these products, but I don't see anything bad in the ingridients list. Fruit, tea, flowers, citric acid and witch hazel and most of it is organic! Almost too good to be true and they have cosmetics too! I am getting a concealer in a swap and I can't wait to try it!

Badger sunscreen just came in from www.drugstore.com Here it is http://www.badgerbalm.com/p-372-spf-30-for-face-body.aspx Smells wonderful and has a rating of 1. Warning, it is a bit greasy like all zinc oxide sunscreens, probably not that great for everyday under makeup, but awesome for all day at the beach.
