Korres, NaturallyThinking, 2-Nature, & Lily Lolo

Alright, so I’m currently sitting outside and the heat is bearable… ooo, a nice breeze just came through! The sky is overcast and I love it! I feel happiest in grey weather, odd isn’t it? I do like the sun, but my porcelain skin burns easily. Tomorrow I’ll write about an excellent organic sunscreen from Australia! I’ve bought two tubes already.

So, UPS came about an hour ago with my Korres package! I ordered the Milk Proteins 3 in 1 cleansing emulsion and new Abyssinia mascara in brown. I’ve used the Milk Proteins 3 in 1 cleansing emulsion for quite sometime. This is my 3^rd bottle. I’ve used the Dr. Hauschka Cleansing Milk and I like it (Dr. Hauschka has amazing products), but I feel like my skin likes the Korres better (not as heavy.) I don’t have oily skin, combination with a few spots. At night, I take a little bit in the palm of my hand and rub it into my skin, then rinse with warm water. I then take the same amount of cleanser in my hand and massage it in and cleanse my skin with my Clarisonic. It’s amazing! Really deep cleans and gently exfoliates my face without being too harsh. I applied the Abyssinia mascara and so far I like it. My eyes aren’t itching and it gives volume and length. www.korres.com

Where has that cool breeze gone off to? I’m inside now because I saw a creepy looking hornet/wasp. It was possibly my fault as I spritzed some pure organic rose floral water on my face.

NaturallyThinking. I first heard of this brand through YouTube by a lovely gal alissaevelyn. Check her out. She’s sweet, funny, & very helpful. While watching one of her video’s she mentioned to tone with rose floral water. Brilliant! Why? It’s cheaper then most toners and does a better job, doesn’t sting skin or dry it out. Rose water is also naturally calming. I ordered rose and lavender floral waters along with a lavender face scrub. I love all of it. “Lavender water is an excellent tonic on the skin when you have blemishes, uneven skin tone or mild acne. The anti-bacterial properties help to kill bacteria in the skin and the toning natural goes deep down into the pores without clogging.” I use the Lavender water at night and the rose water in the morning. I also ordered glass bottles (they were so cute and inexpensive!) I was also happy that NaturallyThinking posts to the States. Check out the site: http://www.naturallythinking.com/

2Nature Organic Hemp Seed Oil Face Cream is ah-mazing! I also heard about this from alissaevelyn on YouTube. This cream contains English Daisy oil which helps free blocked pores, re-hydrates and intensifies metabolic activity of the skin, Can even aid with removal of spots. I love using this at nighttime because it’s not heavy and helps with spots! I like to use the Korres Wild Rose moisturiser during the day (again, not to heavy and helps brighten my skin.) The 2Nature organic moisturiser comes in a huge tube, 160ml or 5.41 ounces. This costs £5.95 or about $10.12. Check it out: http://www.2-nature.co.uk/face-cream.html

Lily Lolo… I’m shocked at how much I like the products already and it’s only day two! Unlike the devil dust, which I refer to Bare Minerals as, Lily Lolo doesn’t contain Bismuth Oxychloride. That ingredient can cause itchiness. Lily Lolo doesn’t feel as heavy and covers better. The Translucent Silk doesn’t feel itchy either (Bare Minerals mineral veil made my skin itch!) It’s a light and lovely setting powder. The blush samples that I have are nice & Doll Face is so pretty used as a lip colour mixed with a clear gloss. Overall, a wonderful product and I’m excited to purchase full sizes. http://www.lilylolo.co.uk/

I happen to love English beauty products! I think Europeans know what they’re talking about when it comes to skincare and makeup.

Has anyone tried Neal’s Yard Remedies products? I ordered a sample size of a moisturiser from Ebay and will get it next week.
