Jane Iredale Lip Drink SPF 15

Who else makes a nice lip balm with a mineral sunscreen? Most lip balms use chemical sunscreens so for that alone, I think this one stands out. I love the smell and feel. Now let's see if it keeps my lips moisturized as long as Caudalie's lip balm.

Jonathan Product Shampoo Weightless Smooth and Conditioner

What's the point of labeling your product "VEGAN?" This duo rates a "7" on EWG's toxicity scale even though it "vegan." It's kind of annoying- I feel like it's a green marketing ploy. Well, I guess the two things don't have much to do with each other. Don't be fooled into thinking otherwise. It just means that it doesnt contain animal products. That's good to know if I ever decide to eat my hair products.

As for the actual products- yes, I liked them but I wont buy them again- I feel like I was suckered by the "vegan" label.

Mychelle Apple Brightening Cleanser

This sulfate-free gentle cleanser leaves my skin feeling nice and clean without overstripping. I've never thought that cleansers were that important in the overall skincare regimen and I still dont. I'm not too picky about my cleansers- usually I'm fine with any gel-based formula. I just like that this one has almost no toxic ingredients according to EWG's cosmetic database and that it's pretty inexpensive. As for the claims of brightening your skin? I doubt it...

Earth Science Herbal Tonic Mist

This is a mild, gentle toner that restores your facial skin's ph to 5.5. As a spray mist I actually couldn't stand the smell so I poured it into another bottle and used it with cotton pads. I've been told that your face will naturally balance itself out after a washing so I tend to use this toner only after an exfoliation. It's a nice basic, inexpensive product. I was looking into Phytomer's Rose Visage Toning Lotion which is also a nice, natural toner, but do I really need to spend $30 on a toner?!

Neutrogena Pure & Free Baby Sunblock SPF 60+

I like that it's a non-chemical sunscreen- the main active ingredients are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. It's generally an OK sunblock however it rates a high "7" on the EWG Cosmetic Database. For a baby product, it sure contains a lot of toxic ingredients!

Yu-Be Cream (Yuskin A)

Another awesome glycerin-based cream. It's great for dry skin or chapped lips. It's a little thick for an all-over body lotion but perfect for smaller target areas like elbows or feet. In the jar, it smells a little menthol-y but the smell goes away pretty quickly. Some may find it a bit greasy for hand lotion but I'd say it has a silky texture.

Ahava Dermud Intensive Foot Cream

It's the best foot cream for dry feet. It even closes up cracked skin! It's nice to put it on at night before bed.

La Roche-Posay Lipikar Baume

This is an extremely rich cream for very dry skin. I love it in the winter or summer. It's slightly greasy but I dont mind too much because I feel like it really penetrates my skin's top layer and softens the dry spots. The first three ingredients are water, shea butter and glycerin- three very good things for your skin. It also rates a "3" on EWG's cosmetic database-which is a pretty low toxicity number.
