Organic Beauty

Some of you that are close to me know that I've been seeing a holistic nutrition counselor from Holistic Health Fusion. (Hi Monica!) and I've been getting "assignments" to work on bi-monthly from her. A couple weeks ago, I received a list of Lifestyle Suggestions. I've started incorporating more organic beauty lines into my skincare regiment, however have not yet experimented with Organic Cosmetics since most of the Organic Cosmetic lines are made for the regular consumer and do not have a broad line that make up pro's such as myself really look for.

I came across Nvey Eco Organic make up. I used their creamy concealer for my under eyes (note to self: I must sleep earlier so I can get more sleep), and was pleasantly surprised to find that formulated are creamy enough to not feel like sandpaper unlike some other concealers *cough cough*, dense enough for medium to full coverage, you can even apply it with a finger. I would prefer it applied with a brush but let's be realistic here, when you're running out the door and don't have time for carefully crafted make up application, the fast and easy applications will be the ones that will get you out the door faster. The blush that Nvey Eco Organic make up has is also very pretty. I have blush # 954 and it just gives you a pretty healthy flush on the cheeks.

If you're into the organic/natural lifestyle, definitely check out Nvey Eco Organic make up.

Winter beauty tips

The weather is getting colder and the chilly winter weather is going to creep in faster than we can sing "Auld Lang Syne". I have been getting compliments on my skin lately. I think its partly being able to keep up w/ my facial appointments, cleaning my skin before I go to bed at night, eating healthier and switching to more organic and vegetarian diet.

Here are my skincare tips:

1. Exfoliate 2-3 times a week. I like LaRocca's exfoliating cleanser. I also like Dermalogica's daily Microfoliant. Both of them are not stripping the skin of its natural moisture and gently exfoliates to reveal more beautiful and brighter skin. I alternate between these two exfoliators each week depending on my mood.
























2. Face Mask 1-2 times a week. On days when I am going out or just trying to make a good impression but don't want to wear any make up. I put on a face mask for about 10-15 minutes. I like LaRocca's 24k Cocoa Gold Vitamin Mask and C.O. Bigelow's Brown Sugar Crystal.

















3. Drink Naked Juice Green Machine or have 2 servings of green vegetables everyday. I'm serious. I've been drinking Green Machine and or having 2 servings of green vegetables everyday for six months now. Not only is it good for your health. It boosts your immunity. It also helps your skin achieve a certain vitality.
