October Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Cause Marketing, Pinkwashing and What Questions to Ask Yourself BEFORE Buying Pink Ribbon Products.

I always notice the "Pink Ribbon" products throughout the year, but during the month of October I see a surge in "Pink Ribbon" products EVERYWHERE! I'm pretty sure just about EVERY company has a "Pink Ribbon" product out during October, the Breast Cancer Awareness Month...

I'm in a GREEN TRANSITION (Beauty)

During the last few weeks I have been doing a little bit of research on eco-friendly (organic, "natural" "green") products. While reading a couple of nights ago, it  dawned on me ....I RARELY read labels, especially on beauty products.

Mineral Fusion: Lengthening Mascara Review

I recently discovered Mineral Fusion at a beauty event I attended several weeks ago. As a girl that's on a mission to find healthier, Earth- Friendly beauty products I was genuinely intrigued by their slogan "minerals on a mission." And after a great conversation with Meaghan I learned that Mineral Fusion makes products free of gluten, parabens, talc, artificial colors, synthetic fragrances, SLS, and phthalates.

I also learned that Mineral Fusion is "dedicated to creating naturally effective, healthy and safe personal care products while contributing to the wellbeing of [their] community." Mineral Fusion is also a partner of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, supporting women in need. Not only does Mineral Fusion care about protecting and naturally enhancing your skin, helping women in need, they are also committed to sustainability, they "utilize wind power, soy inks, packaging from recycled materials and packaging that is recyclable."

Mineral Fusion's lengthening mascara  defines and conditions lashes. It has no artificial colours, is gluten and paraben free, and is hypo-allergenic. The lengthening mascara comes in two colours: graphite (black) and rock (brown). 

I was gifted that graphite lengthening mascara and found that it applied smoothly and defined (lengthened and darkened) my lashes. There are several brands of mascara that cause my eyes to itch, but Mineral Fusion is NOT one of them. I found that the lengthening mascara did not flake. The size of the brush is perfect for me, very easy to apply to top bottom and corner lashes. I'm REALLY happy with this mascara! 

If you are looking to pick up a new mascara, I HIGHLY recommend Mineral Fusion's lengthening mascara, you won't be disappointed. 

Have you tried any Mineral Fusion products before? 

What are your thoughts on Earth-Friendly cosmetics?

DEVITA: Solar Body Moisturizer REVIEW

I'm currently transitioning into a green beauty lifestyle, which basically means I'm introducing organic and/or "more natural", paraben free beauty products into my daily routine.

When I couldn't find any sunscreen in our home, I knew it was the perfect time to pick up a bottle of something natural. DeVita Solar Body Moisturizer SPF30+ is paraben free, 100% vegan, has no nano technology or  GMO's. It also offers full/broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. I LOVE that DeVita Solar Body Moisturizer SPF30+ is a 2-in-1 moisturizer and natural sunscreen!

I was expecting the Solar Body Moisturizer SPF30+ to be oily/greasy and a pain in the butt to blend. But, it was the exact opposite, phew! To my surprise it was light, easy to blend, non-greasy and didn't leave me feeling sticky. It left my skin soft and moisturized. 

If you are on the market for a new sunscreen, I highly recommend DeVita Solar Body Moisturizer SPF30+!

Do you have any organic/natural beauty products?
