     In this day and age when all kinds of pollution are taking its toll on our environment, there are still a few people who hope for the best. They are the small players or entrepreneurs who want to give us eco-friendly products that will care for us and for Mother Nature as well.

     Meet Beach Born- one of the fast-rising brands in the natural and cruelty-free personal care department. It's the brainchild of Sarah Tirona, one of my fashion idols in the blogosphere way, way back I started blogging. I purchased shampoo and conditioner bars last January and she sent me other products to try. Sharing more information about Beach Born after the jump.

Product Review: Natura Organics Cosmetic Tools Shampoo

Friday, December 30, 2016

     Sharing with you a quick review of Natura Organics Cosmetic Tools Shampoo that I've been using for months now to clean my makeup brushes. I only use three brushes to date that's why cleaning is easy as long as I have a buddy that will make the bristles squeaky clean in just 1-2-3!

     I wash my brushes using Natura Organics Cosmetic Tools Shampoo weekly. This product was sent to me last year and I'm so happy that the shampoo/cleanser is just halfway through the bottle. I also love the fact that this product is made by my Natura Organics- my trusted brand when it comes to natural, vegan, and organic beauty products. More details on this promising brush cleanser below :)

Feature: Pure Marula Oil by John Paul Selects

Thursday, June 16, 2016

     I've tried different beauty oils in the past. They're not the common 'oil' that we use during our childhood days. I call them beauty oils because of the beautifying benefits they give. I presume you've heard a type or two. Beauty oils come in many forms- it can be pure liquid, solid (inside a capsule), mixed with solid skin care products like soap and scrub or with another liquid products like shampoos, conditioners, and lotions.

     Beauty oils have different functions and the common denominator- they are widely use in the skin care department. Have you tried beauty oils before? I use beauty oil/s to moisturize dry skin, to treat and tame frizzy hair, or to make my skin glowing. Now, there's another use that I've recently discovered- it can also be used as sunscreen! Wanna know what beauty oil is this? Presenting... Pure Marula Oil! Know more about Marula Oil by John Paul Selects below and discover the benefits that you'll surely like :)

     Want to protect your skin from sun damage without worrying about the toxicity of commercial sunscreens? Now, you can with the new Pure Marula Oil! Unlike other sunscreen products that may contain toxic substances that are harmful for your skin, Pure Marula Oil is completely free of preservatives, synthetics and parabens. It is made from 99% marula oil that provides superior and longer lasting hydration for your skin and 1% blend of natural essential oils that give a light and natural scent.

     Will I be saying good bye to my favorites- Argan and Macadamia Oils? After reading the benefits, I can say that I'm impressed not only in the sun protection department but also in minimizing fine lines. Oh, it's also an anti-aging oil, so I'll say hooray for now! 

Pure Marula Oil benefits:

  • This oil is ideal for skin hydration and restoration.
  • Pure Marula Oil has 60% more antioxidants than Argan Oil and is more powerful in fighting free radicals that cause pre-mature skin aging. 
  • Its high content of fatty acids like Omega 6 & 9 also makes for a superior anti-aging treatment that plump up skin to help reduce the appearance of fine lines.
  • Pure Marula Oil is also best for treating sunburn and soothing skin redness, swelling and irritation. Packed with healing and reparative ingredients, it penetrates quickly into your skin without leaving residue.
  • Ideal for all skin types, works well even if you have very oily skin. 
  • It is non-comedogenic and does not result in clogged and enlarged pores, minimizing the greasy look and after-feel especially in the sweltering heat.
  • With its high antioxidant level, lightning-fast absorption, satin finish, and delicate essential oil scent, Pure Marula Oil is your ultimate, all-natural multi-benefit age-defyer and sun protection essential. 
  • Did I say it's also an anti-aging oil? Yes, it is! It hydrates, firms, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. (I can't wait to add this to my skin care regimen)

     I'm still a lover of natural and organic skin care products though most of the time you see me promoting mostly commercially sold ones. I still have a thing for natural and organic products and if you'll ask me the specifics, it's mainly bath essentials like soap, lotion, and body wash. If you're a long time follower of this blog, prolly you already know that organic products are the ones that healed my adult acne after my pregnancy.As time passes by, I've seen a lot of products online claiming they're natural and organic. Well, in my five years of blogging, I've only met a handful who passed the certification to be called natural and organic.

     One of them is Natura Organics and I'm proud to say that I'm one of their babies. Natura Organics is already a big name in the organic cosmetic industry here in our country and they've won several awards already.

With her hectic schedule and always on the go lifestyle, one might wonder how this rising star manages to step out looking on point all the time. “It doesn’t take much for me, really. I try to stick to the basics no matter how busy I am. When my schedule is really hectic, I just put on cheek tint, mascara, and swipe on my trusty lip balm.”
