How Can I tell if a Brand is WorthyHey Pals its Andi,
I know I haven't done a brand review in a while, and my want to do a DIY last post got me thinking about how I should let you guys know how I determine weather or not a brand is worth tying out so that you can do it with a random brand that you find. So you might think that diversity in shades and the brand having an abundance of color is something that I base that off of but it really isn't. I only talk about that in my blog posts so if someone who tends to struggle to find a color that suits them knows that they have a better chance with that brand. If I find a brand that i want to see is worthy of telling you guys about I will go on youtube and search the brand or a product to see if people post about it and if they like it and I will also google image them to make sure that they look good or I try to find swatches and see if they are patchy. That's really it. It doesn't tak much to see if a brand is good. Until next time Pals! DIY Green Tea ScrubHey Pals it's Andi, I know I normally do brand reviews and give you guys new brands to try or not to try but today I just wasn't felling it. So I took to pintrest and i found a DIY green tea scrub. If you really like this type of post then I recommend you go to Kristis blog because she posts DIYs all the time.
If you haven’t realized already coconut oil and green tea – (tea or powder form) have amazing benefits and a lot of these natural diy beauty recipes normally contain one of these products so I would strongly recommend putting these on your shopping list if you haven’t done so already. Until next time Pals!

KorresHey Pals it's Andi,
Today I had a "you learn something new every day" moment. I was looking at natural brands on Sephora and I found out that Korres is an all natural brands. Korres sells skin care and body products, they don't sell makeup but I figured that it would be good to review some natural skin care products because some people want to have natural skin care and beauty. I'm going to be honest with you guys, they don't sell a very large amount of product types, but they do have quite a few types of each products. They have 2 sleeping facials, 8 moisturizers, 3 serums, 4 eye treatments, 5 cleansers, a toner, a scrub, and a primer. That's not really a lot. Although they also have some body products and a lip butter at Sephora they don't provide as big a range of products as some of the other brands. But, looking at it in a positive way, there aren't many skin care products that they are missing. The only other products that they could sell are oils face peels, and body exfoliants. But overall they provide a decent sollection of products. Although they don't have everything and they are a bit on the pricey side, they have really high quality items! Untiil next time Pals! ECCO BELLABETTER YOUR BEAUTYHey fellow flower children, Adrianna here! Sorry we have been preoccupied lately, in our class we had a different project to work on...

TartletteHey Pals it's Andi here, Today I'm going to be talking about a brand that you might know if you are really into expensive makeup brands or you watch a lot of beauty you-tubers. Today I'm talking about Tarte Cosmetics. All Tarte products are created without parabons, mineral oil, pthalate, triclosan, sodium lauyrl, or gluten. Tarte is also vegan and cruelty free. They semi-recently just came out with a new limited edition collection called tartlette to celebrate "15 years of empowering women" which I assume means that they've been in business for 15 years. Tartes products are very well known, I've known about them even before I had this blog and got into natural makeup. They have a large range of product types and colors. They have 25 shades of foundation, 7 shades of tinted moisturizer, 13 shades of concealer, 17 shades of blush, 10 shades of lipstick, and 10 shades of lipgloss. Tart has a lot of shades of the things that they're good at like their blushes and face products. Their eyeshadow pallets look beautiful, I really like their tartlette pallet and I really want it but I already have enough eyeshadow that I don't use... I've heard amazing things about Tartes blushes and they come in so many shades. Here are some swatches of the different products. Tartlette Eyeshadow PAlletFoundationBlushLipstickUntil next time Pals!
POWERED BY NATURE. PROVEN BY SCIENCE.Hey fellow flower children, Adrianna here! Today is a Monday, wahoo!!! I particularly like this Monday, it's gonna be a good Monday. One thing that would make your Monday even better would be some naturally effective products. I have been using this product a lot because when I was at the mall I walked by this store and fell in love. The store smelled absolutely positively amazing. As well as the symbol was a giant tree making me feel as if I was coming home when I stepped in. Please enjoy these products as much as I do! ORIGINSNATURAL SKIN CARE BY ORIGINSSKIN CAREAll I have to say about this product is how wonderful my skin looks after using it. Well, also that it balances the gentleness to an effective cleanser that helps the dry skin and takes away the bad oil. A Perfect World™ Highly Hydrating body lotion with White Tea Where I live I have dry and flakey skin and this lotion combats my worst with the best Shea butter. No Puffery™ Cooling roll-on for puffy eyes In the early morning I have a strangely severe case of puffy eye and this combats that. GinZing™ Refreshing eye cream to brighten and depuff I do not personally use this my mom does though, she loves and highly recommends. Shout out to my mom Bye for now fellow flower children.
Blush in LushHey Pals It's Andi here,
Today I'm going to be reviewing the brand Lush. Lush is a very well known brand and a lot of people love it. Lush is an amazing brand, they don't test on animals, they are 100% vegetarian, everything is handmade, and they do something called ethical buying where they buy from people mostly in their local community that care about their product and they try to buy from smaller scale producers. They also supply vegan products, and they aren't stingy with them, they provide quite a lot of vegan products almost every type of product that they sell comes with some vegan options. Lush also provides very unique things that you can't find in other brands. One example would be that you can have private parties in the lush store, they provide 2 options, one where you get private consultation, learning about the products and their ingredients, and $30 in store credit, the other option provides a lesson in making a bath bomb, a $25 valued gift bag, and games. Not many other places provide such a cool service. Another unique experience that they provide at Lush is a product called Fun. Fun is a blob of mold-able soap. they come in 5 different colors and scents. Fun is vegan and I think it's an amazing idea. If you're throwing a birthday party you can buy a bunch of them and have all of your party guests mold whatever they want with the soap and then they can take it home as a party favor. I know you're probably surprised I haven't talked about their wide range of product because I talk about that in all of my reviews. Lush has the widest amount of products out of any brand I've ever reviewed. They literally have everything you w could ever need, literally. Skin care? Check. Makeup? Check. Bath stuff? Check. Shower stuff? Check. Hair? Check. Perfume? Check. Teeth? Check. Men? Check. Deodorant? Check. Anything I could ever want? Check. And they provide all other their things in different forms and scents. Overall I think that Lush is an amazing brand and you should really give it a try! Below I have provided A few links to get to know more about lush as well as a lush haul! Bite BeautyHey Pals it's Andi, Im sorry we haven't posted in a while but we just had a week long break and then we had another day of our class of so we never got the chance to post but we are back now and we are better than ever! Bite Beauty is an all natural line of lip products out of downtown Toronto. Bites mission is to have lip products that are so natural you can eat them, hence the name Bite. Bite has a cool service in New York called the lip lab. The lip lab is a place for you to make and customize your own lipstick, you get to choose everything from the color to the finish to the flavor and even adding in extra sparkles that are your choice of color. I think that this service is really cool! I found a blog post from a british beauty YouTuber who went to the lip lab with her sister and they both created their own lipsticks, she also vlogged it and I put them both below I cannot find a website from Bite where they sell their products but I did find their blog which I will have a button with the link at the end of this post. But they are sold at Sephora and on Amazon. Bite sells a very large variety of product types and colors from the nudest nude to the darkest purple. Bite sells lipsticks of different finishes, lipgloss, lip pencils, lip crayons, lip masks, lip tints, lip primers, lip scrubs, lip wipes and even a lip brush. Many youtubers like bite beauty and it had great reviews!

Juice BeautyHey Pals it's Andi, Before I started this blog and got into organic and natural beauty brands I didn't know very many organic brands, but this is one of them. Juice beauty is a brand that is quite easy to get because it's available on more than one website and it's available in stores such as Ulta. Juice beauty was created because their creator was experiencing hormonal changes in her skin so she set out to find a healthy solution to skin care that actually showed results. So she decided to create her own line of skin care and other assorted beauty products. Juice Beauty provides a large collection of products. They have every single type of skin care anyone could need, for all ages and genders. They have a specific page for men, children, teens, just general things, and even brides. Their products are definitely not drug store, the cheapest facial cleanser is $22 which is definitely not cheap but it's not the most expensive face wash out there. Their makeup is also on the expensive side, but if you tend to but beauty products from Sephora, or the high end side of Ulta then you shouldn't have a problem with many of their prices. Their color options aren't the best when it comes to foundations and their complexion products. Their foundation only has a fair medium and dark shade, and it's the same with their finishing powder, their concealer only has 2 shades and their tinted moisturizer and CC cream only have about 4-5 shades which is okay but not as good as other brands that I've reviewed. All in all I think that if you are okay with spending a little extra on skin care or makeup this brand would be a great option especially because they have so many products that would fit anyone's skin type and skin needs. See you next time pals!
BATH BOMB1 cup baking soda 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/2 cup citric acid 1/8 cup epsom salts (optional) *witch hazel in a spray bottle various essential oils & dried herbs Sift all dry ingredients in a glass bowl. Add essential oils (about 10-20 drops per recipe - *see below for blends*) Spray 3 times with witch hazel and mix well. Keep spraying the mix until it clumps when you squeeze it in your hands, but make sure it is not wet. Add dried herbs if using. Press firmly into moulds (ice cube trays, soap moulds...) Let sit one minute in mould, then carefully take them out and place on wax paper. If your house/appartment is humid, remember to place a clean tea towel over the bombs and place under a fan. This will prevent the bombs from activating. Let dry 24-48 hours. Sleepytime: 5 drops Chamomile 10 drops lavender (use 2 tbsps of dried lavender) Morning Fresh: 6 drops lemongrass 15 drops Petitgrain or Neroli (use dried lemongrass or dried lemon peel) If you don't have a bath bomb mold, you can use an Easter egg instead. The bath bombs look so cute! and a great Easter basket filler
-xoxo Kristi "JUST AS BIRTH CONTROL PATCHES AND NICOTINE PATCHES DELIVER THE MEDICATION TOPICALLY, WHATEVER WE APPLY ON OUR SKIN GETS ABSORBED WHICH IS WHY ALL 100% PURE FORMULAS ARE FREE OF HARMFUL TOXINS THAT ARE COMMONLY IN OTHER COSMETICS."Hey fellow flower children, Adrianna here! Today is a Wednesday, this is great news because we are half way through the work week. Your body gets stress from your environment. On this Wednesday I say lets keep our skin's stress to a minimum. That is why I will be introducing to you products from 100% Pure. CREAMJASMINE GREEN TEA CAFFEINE EYE CREAM This product brightens dark circles as well as firms the skin making it more elastic. In my 1st blog post I mentioned tea bags put under the eyes to DE-puff, this product is a cream that does the same. And more. MANGOSTEEN CREAM ANTIOXIDANTS + VITAMINS This product is a restorative and protective facial cream. By having the cream soak in to your skin it would be absorbing the vitamins and antioxidants placed in the product. BODY SCRUBRASPBERRY BODY SCRUB This product is a scrub for your body that will change the way you feel as well as your skin. Special aspects of the scrub smooth and soften the skin making it your best skin yet! DEODERANTPEPPERMINT DEODORANT Although this product is 100% natural it is 99% organic. Whether or not the organic will turn you away from this product is up to you. MAKEUPFRUIT PIGMENTED MASCARA: BLACK TEA As a flower child I believe in not clouding my face with makeup. But, if I must I will use mascara. This is the one product for me I feel confident to put on my eyes. It gives your eyelashes that "umph" they deserve. Please try these, I will try to report back with all of my opinions on products.
Bye for now fellow flower children. 100% PureHey Pals it's Andi, Today I investigated the brand 100% Pure. This brand is all pure and they claim that it is free of all chemicals that are common in most beauty products because our skin absorbs things. Just as birth control patches and nicotine patches deliver medication into the skin, whatever we put on our skin is absorbed into our skin, which is why they make their products "100% Pure". They provide a wide variety of lines such as makeup, skincare, hair care, nails, baby and body care. Their makeup is dyed with all natural fruit pigments that have antioxidants that are good for the skin. Their makeup has a wide variety of shades for all of their products. They have 7 shades of their healthy skin mousse foundation, 7 shades of powder foundation, 5 shades of their concealer, 7 shades of tinted moisturizers, 13 shades of powder blush, 12 shades of lip gloss, 8 shades of lipstick, 16 shades of powder eye shadow, and even 4 shades of mascara, and not just natural black, black brown, brown, but colors such as purple and blue(swatches of some of the products below). They also sell a large variety of natural products that could be hard to find such as deodorant SPF, soap, toniques, moisturizer for both the face and body, and many more. They even sell every makeup product you could ever need, so if you are going all natural and are struggling to find a certain kind of product to fit your standard of naturalness, check 100% Pure, they probably have it. I think that this is a very good brand and I think that their products are an amazing thing to try out. My blog post on this even caused Adrianna to try the black tea mascara (read more about it on her blog). I think that these products are very worth the price! I hope you guys enjoy this brand! If you are interested in one of the pictures above, click on them and it will take you to the 100% pure website where you can purchase the item.
See you next time pals! AS BEAUTY FOOD SLOGAN GOES "YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT FROM YOUR HAIR TO YOUR FEET"Hey fellow flower children, Adrianna here!

Vegan Beauty BoxHey Pals It's Andi, Roaming around the internet looking for the next big thing in organic beauty I came across this brand. It's the brand Vegan Cuts and they do a variety of things such as a snack box, a blog, and a shop where you can buy a variety of vegan things, but the thing that I'm here to talk to you about today is their vegan beauty box. Each month for the price of $19.95 you can get 4-7 trial sized products that are all vegan and cruelty free. The products range from "unique cosmetics to unique skincare". They provide free shipping in the U.S, 100% cruelty free, mostly organic and natural, a mix of full sized and sample sized products, and you can cancel at anytime! This seems like an amazing thing if you are trying to go more natural with your makeup and skincare but you don't know any good brands or products. But this service is very expensive, especially compared to similar things like it such as ipsy and Birch box which are both $10 a month instead of practically $20. After looking at a bunch of YouTube videos and pictures from the Vegan Cuts website they provide a large variety of product types from a bunch of different brands. I'm still on the fence about weather or not it's worth the $20 but I think that the worth depends on the box and weather or not you are serious about trying new organic products. The good thing is, if you find out that you don't think it's worth it you can cancel at any time. Click the button below to go to the Vegan Cut's Website! Below I have provided un-boxing's and reviews of the Vegan Cuts beauty box. Here's the Vegan Cuts YouTube channel giving you a sneak peak at what's going to be in the February 2015 box. Here is a YouTuber that is un-boxing her beauty box and giving her opinion. Here's a quick video showing each product in the February 2015 Vegan Box. See you next time pals!
