Link to Josie Maran Argan Oil Lipstick in Dyani Review

I've yet to spend over $5.oo on a tube of lipstick, and I'm okay with that. That's not to say that I was unhappy when I received a free tube of Josie Maran's Argan Oil Lipstick in the mail. I was actually pretty pumped. After wearing it a few times to get a solid idea of what I though about it, I figured I'd share my findings with you guys. Ingredients (provided at cosmeticsdatabase.com)- "White Beeswax, Ozokerite Wax, Isopropyl Myristate, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Cream, Argania Spinosa (Argan) Oil, Simmondsia Chinenesis (Jojoba) Oil, Retinyl...

Link to Mrs. Meyers Geranium Dryer Sheet Review

 

Since I use unscented detergent, I sometimes feel that my clothes need a hint of fresh scent to remind me that they're clean. I recently bought some Mrs. Meyers Clean Day Geranium Dryer Sheets, and here's what I thought. Ingredients- (provided at mrsmeyers.com)- “Di-(Palm Carboxyethyl) Hydroxyethyl Methlammonium Methyl Sulfate, Palm Fatty Acid, Fragrance, Geranium Maculatum (Geranium) Oil, Rosa Centifolia (Rose) Flower Oil, Eugenia Caryophyllus (Clove) Flower Oil ” This product, along with the first ingredient, couldn't be found on the Cosmetic Safety Database, but Mrs. Meyers products that do appear on the site range from a hazard...

I will eventually get around to posting thorough...

Sunscreen Talk

Link to Sunscreen Talk

I'm going on a family trip to the beach today, so a sunscreen post seemed pretty appropriate.  While I really hate the idea of sunscreen, sometimes I prefer it to having huge blisters all over my face (which actually happened once). Here are a few sunscreens that I've tried in the past and my thoughts regarding them: Burt's Bees Chemical-Free Sunscreen SPF 30- This stuff is fairly easy to rub in.  It's what I used to use on my body if I didn't plan on getting in the water.  I lost the bottle after using it only a few times,...
