Pink Frosted Animal Crackers in a Lip Shine


Pink Frosted Animal Crackers in a Lip Shine



Philosophy really gets it when it comes to lip gloss flavors. This is a new flavor, an upgrade from the animal cracker flavor they recently came out with. I literally was obsesssssed with pink frosted animal crackers when I was young, even though I wasn't allowed to eat them.(My parents never let me eat anything with sugar, milk, soda& white flour growing up, which I am thanking them for now, but at the time, any chance I got I'd sneak something sweet and these were my fav!). The minute I opened the tube I was brought back to my childhood and all the times I'd sneak these cookies in Sunday School at church ...lol. This lip gloss has a nice mauve tint to it that would likely be flattering on any skin tone. YUM! okay now I'm hungry for some! :)They even carry a shampoo/shower gel in this flavor. You can find this lip shine here for 10$.

A New Favorite Organic Skin Care Line...One Love Organics :)


A New Favorite Organic Skin Care Line...
One Love Organics :)



I literally am in love with One Love Organics at the moment. My all time favorite is the One Love Organics Skin Savior Waterless Beauty Balm. This stuff is magical. I am currently using this is a moisturizer and have used it for a few weeks now. It contains coconut oil, mango butter, chia seed extract and vitamin E, which are all so good for your skin and do not clog pores. I love it as a base for my makeup. No chemicals or synthetic preservatives.A couple neat things about this balm is that it kind of goes on like a vaseline but sinks into skin nicely leaving behind a really nice glow, not overly shiny. You can also mix mineral powder with it to make a customized foundation to your preference of thickness, which I think is such a great idea. Lastly, you can cleanse with the balm as well! (Great for traveling because it does it all, even removes tough to remove mascara and eyeliner). The cleanser is nice because it is a gel cleanser, which was a nice switch from my cream cleanser I used during winter months(Eminence coconut cream cleanser). I find that it removes makeup really nicely without leaving skin tight and dry..(if this happens and your skin becomes oily, then your cleanser is NOT right for your skin and will start to break you out, FYI). I always try to use things that make my skin feel the same before washing and after washing, so as not to disrupt the lipid barrier on the surface of the skin. The "Brand New Day" scrub and masque is great because you can mix it with the foaming cleanser every morning (it's a powder with small grains in it that aren't too abrasive such as rice powder and baking soda) to exfoliate. The packaging is really cute too! I recommend starting out with the travel kit so you can try everything to see if you like it before splurging bc they are a little pricey. The travel kit can be foundhere for 48$.
