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.

YSL Touche Eclat

I was travelling through the airport the other day and stopped by the Duty Free store. I found YSL's Touche Eclat in a pack of two for $53. I purchased it and gave one to my mother and kept one for myself. I love it. I don't have dark circles under my eyes but sometimes I don't get enough sleep and need a little boost but a concealer is too rich or not needed. Enter YSL Touche Eclat, it works like a highlighter with a creamy texture. It brightened up the area almost immediately.
Now I believe all the hype behind this product. Its a cult product, its expensive so thats why I haven't bought it in the past but I couldn't resist a good Duty Free buy. Hehehe. Changi airport has really good duty free shopping if you know what I mean ;-)
There is also a big duty free store in the heart of the city that I may stop in if I don't find any other good beauty buys.
So far, I've purchased a pack of collagen sheet masks for my bridal make up kit (perfect for prepping the skin on the day of the wedding because it causes the skin to "glow" from within), several false eyelashes (I love false eyelashes, especially for special occasions). My beauty purchases have a simple rule when it comes to travelling, only purchase products that are cheaper or hard-to-find in the US.
