mama mio o mega body oil


With temperatures dropping, my already mad dry skin is all the more so. Thank goodness for this product! For those you who are oily, read no further. For those of you who are combination to dry, read on. It's a pleasant scented body oil that is absorbed quickly to leave plump, hydrated skin. The pump feature is ideal for a nice measured amount of oil. Perfect for all over body after shower slathering. I even use it on my face. I will be very bummed when this runs out because I love it!!

Maybelline Mascara

Maybelline the Colossal Volum' Express Mascara
Classic Black
Nice coverage
Not at all clumpy
Worst time of year for mascara--hay fever=runny eyes!
Some flaking, but it stands up to my constantly watering eyes. Worth the trade-off to me;)
Needs some major remover!
Not a big fan of the Classic Black, it is grayer than I like. Would like to try in a blacker-black.

Pangea Organics

Pangea Organics review from Emily:

-Body wash- Egyptian Basil Mint: love it, it smells great, minty and clean

Pangea Organics

Pangea Organics reviews from Emily:

-Face wash: Not sure it is right for my skin type, doesn't feel as squeaky clean as I'd like.

-Face Scrub: Works pretty well, kind of chunky. I feel like scrubs work better if the scrubbers are smaller. Smells kind of funny, very "natural".

-Toner: Not sure I get the concept of a spray toner. I close my eyes and spray, and don't get my face. If I do, it feels weird. This one smells ok.

-Face Lotion: Smells kind of funny too, but is a good consistency and moisturizes well.

Juice Beauty

Juice Beauty reviews from Emily:
-Cleansing Gel: Love it, feels very clean without over drying.

-Oil-Free Moisturizer: Works well, usually need a little more moisture, ended up buying the green apple spf 15 moisturizer.

-Blemish Clearing Serum: Love it, I believe it has diminished scars and helps prevent new issues. I like to think it's a barrier between me and my make-up

-Green Apple Peel/Sensitive
: Like it, but would like to try the regular (not sensitive).

** Bought a skincare kit from Juice Beauty via Sephora, loved it! Even came with eco-bamboo headband. **

Lotion: Lubriderm

Lubriderm Intense Skin Repair Body Lotion
Smells like baby wipes.
Good consistency.
It feels like my hands are sucking the lotion in & need more, but there is a residue/barrier left on the skin.
Works better on legs.
It's okay, but not great.

Weleda Wild Rose Day Cream

I am loving the Weleda products!

This day cream is a great texture. It's medium thick with a faint pleasant rose scent. It glides onto the skin and hydrates pretty well. I still need to apply other moisturizer but I like to use this as the final one. My skin seems plumper. The packaging is adorable. Love that the box is a nice weight and recyclable. I'll be using this until it's gone.
