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...

I recently received a Spring Beauty VoxBox that contained several health and beauty products for me to try. Unfortunately, many of the brands, like ChapStick and Aveeno, were those that I have been avoiding for ages. The concealer that I'll be reviewing today was also in the box. While the ingredients could definitely be a whole lot cleaner, my frugality convinced me that I should at least give the $24 product a try. Ingredients (provided on product packaging)- “caprylic/capric triglyceride, octydodecanol, euphorbia cerifera wax, copernicia cerifera wax, jojoba...

Allow me to preface this review with an apology. I had trouble finding a picture of this eyeliner online, so I decided to take my own (and in the process showcase my subpar photography skills as well as the discolored grout in my bathroom). Oops. Ingredients (provided at priia.com)- "Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Hydrogenated Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Mica, Iron Oxides, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil. May Contain: Titanium Dioxide, Tin Oxide." The preliminary report I created for this product in...

Mascara Musings

I typically keep my mascara confined to my top lashes, but yesterday I decided to mix it up a little and coated the bottom ones as well. Immediately after applying, I remembered why I don't usually let my mascara venture south. I can't seem to wear mascara on my lower lashes without looking like a doll. And no, I'm not talking about a doe-eyed baby doll with plump, rosy cheeks. I'm referring to the creepy doll every girl had at some point as a...

When I heard about W3ll People on the , the product packaging was what initially drew me in. Can you blame me? It's smart, clean, and perfectly simple.

When I see a lip gloss that claims to have plumping effects, I'm always reminded of an incident in a Sephora that involved , her swollen/red face, and some questionable cosmetic brand's version of plumping lip gloss. Needless to say, I was a little wary of trying , regardless of how dreamy the ingredients seemed. Fortunately, I didn't have an allergic reaction after I summoned the nerve to use it. What I did have was some seriously...
