When Terri of Integrity Botanicals contacted me about trying a few products from their online store, it took me all of five minutes to pick three that I just knew I'd enjoy. I'll be reviewing the first of those three today: Dr Hauschka's Volume Mascara in black. Ingredients (provided at integritybotanicals.com)- "Water (Aqua), Pyrus Cydonia Seed Extract, Alcohol, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract, Sorbitol, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Acacia Senegal Gum, Cetearyl Alcohol, Beeswax (Cera Alba), Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Melia Azadirachta Leaf...

Well, hello again pals! Stephanie from S Green Juice tagged me to do a post on my 2012 makeup highlights, and I couldn't think of a single reason why I shouldn't. So here goes: 1. Which makeup brand stood out to you most in 2012? Drugstore and High end? I'd be lying if I said I'd ever been impressed with natural makeup purchased at a drugstore, so I won't. As far as pricier brands go, has yet to disappoint me in terms of performance. In...

Because a girl's gotta live her life at some point, I'll skip the part where I apologize for not posting in over a month. Still, I hope to make up for my long absence by sharing the following recently-discovered lovely products with you guys: So I know I'm always singing the praises of soap-free cleansers, but my current cleanser is actually a little sudsy! Due to my own lack of research, I didn't realize this when I purchased it. However, washing my face only once a day (at night) with a...

You had me at organic cotton.
A dream and a half.
Whether it's because we share a name or...

Yesterday I awoke to the puffiest eyes imaginable, and I was pretty bummed out about it until a I came across Keiko Lynn's most recent Makeup Monday post. I love Keiko's sense of style, but I tend to skip over her Makeup Monday posts since natural products are not her top priority. However, when I saw that yesterday's post focused on travel skin care, I decided to check it out since traveling light with toiletries is kind of a foreign concept to me.

The contents of my makeup bag have changed significantly since my last makeup bag post, so I figured it was time for another Inside My Makeup Bag feature.

A reader recently commented on my Blackberry Mascara Review post wondering how thick my eyelashes normally are. I'd intended to post a picture of them sans mascara last week, but it completely slipped my mind. Sooo, here it is:
Sometimes natural light can be just as unflattering to my skin as it is flattering at other times (also, my lack of concealer and all other makeup might not've been the best choice). Still, I think you can get a pretty good idea of the natural volume...
