Fun Fridays! Do you use Organic Skincare Products?

Hello Divas!

Are you ready for the three day weekend?  The only thing I will do is rest and I am so ready!

Organic skin care products are really popular right now.  My girl, Kitiya of Mischo Beauty, loves Juice Beauty, an organic skin care line found at Whole Foods.  I was discussing the products via Twitter with a Twitter friend and she was raving about the products! She said they were really making a difference in skin.

Well of course this proclamation caused me to start researching the benefits of using certified organic skin care products.  I buy some organic foods for my kids, but I never thought about using organic products for my skin.  Well some of the benefits are:

1. Most organic skin care products contain essential plant oils that contain natural active ingredients that nourish the skin.  Some plant oils are Argan, Avocado, Hemp, Jojoba, etc.

2. The products are paraben, aluminum, silicon, synthetic fragrances or colourants free.

3. The products are biodegradable and involves no polluting transformation processes and no tests on animals.

So when using Organic beauty products you are being good to your skin and the environment. Nice!

Also, a lot of the organic beauty skin care lines feature floral waters.  Floral Waters are a combination of water and distilled fresh or dried plants.  I love floral waters.  They are to be used after you cleanse your face and they give your skin hydration, healing properties, and provide instant soothing.  But what I really love about floral waters is that they just smell good!

So do any of you Divas use organic skin care products?  If so, what is your favorite brand?  I need some recommendations.

Toodles!

Lancome's Juicy Tubes Pure: Gorgeous and Green

Hello Divas!

I hope you had a fantastic weekend! The weather was perfect in Atlanta!

As you Divas know, I love Lancome's Juicy Tubes. Read my previous review here. Recently, I was given the opportunity to try their new line of Juicy Tubes, Juicy Tubes Pure. Juicy Tubes Pure is Lancome's new Organic version of their Juicy Tubes lip glosses. What is so wonderful about this lip gloss? First it is 95% all natural. The gloss contains shea butter, natural oils, and is paraben free. In addition, the flavor of the lip gloss is 100% natural! I love it! I have the Wild Berry color/flavor and the color is a beautiful wine and it tastes like berries. So yummy! And Lancome created this organic product without sacrificing the quality of the original Juicy Tubes glosses. The shine is amazing. The formula is not sticky. And the color is very intense and gorgeous! Plus Juicy Tubes Pure comes in a host of beautiful shades. Divas if you love organic beauty products, Juicy Tubes Pure is a must try! Juicy Tubes Pure retails for $18 and you can purchase Juicy Tubes Pure at any Sephora or online here.

Toodles!

Hello Divas!

I hope you are enjoying life! Luxetips has teamed up with Champagne Taste, an Accessory and Handbag Boutique, to give a way an uber cool "Green" handbag. Since going "Green" or organic is the new craze and most importantly vital for our planet and health, I thought it would be cool to have a contest to support the Green initiative.

And as an added bonus these cool handbags have a "Green" message displayed on the bag: Stop Pollution! Save the Environment! Love Nature! And of course they are too cute!
