Hello :) It feels so long since I’ve blogged! Short explanation: school, gloomy weather, holidays, and only having time/energy for the simplest of routines has made it difficult for me to get excited about beauty the past few months. But I really want to continue posting, so here I am, with a Red Apple Lipstick post I planned awhile back but never got around to typing up. Better late than never! I hope you enjoy <3</div>

Red Apple Lipstick lipsticks</h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Price: <a href="http://www.redapplelipstick.com/gluten-free-lipstick/">$23.50</a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
I got these lipsticks for a fantastic deal by combining RAL's Labor Day sale with a BOGO offer. I ended up paying $25 for two
lipsticks and some samples, and for that price, I would definitely recommend them.
They have since become some of my go-to lipsticks so I would consider buying them
full price, but getting them on sale sweetens the deal :)</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have also tried one of their eyeshadows, which was beautifully
pigmented and buttery. Their eyeshadows come in single pans, so you can create
your own palettes. I don’t need any more eyeshadows, but they've got a pretty wide selection so if you're looking for some, check 'em out! Based on my experiences with a few of the brand's items and reviews from others, I get the impression that Red Apple Lipstick is a high quality, trustworthy brand.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Anyway, back to the lipsticks—</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>PACKAGING</b>: I like it because it reminds me
of traditional lipstick! It’s actually refreshing to have a classic black tube around because all my other lipsticks are various other shapes and
sizes. The packaging has a bit of weight to it too, so it doesn't feel cheap.<br />
<br />
<b>SCENT</b>: Slightly fruity. I feel like some of my shades smell more than others, so it might vary, but either way it doesn’t bother me.</div>

<br />
<h4 class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://www.redapplelipstick.com/lipstick/audrey.html">Audrey</a></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
RAL has a few different formulas for their lipsticks and I
wanted to be “safe” with my choices, so I chose <i>Audrey</i>, which I think is their
most popular color. It’s a little too pink for my taste, but I still like it
and the formula, <i>Summer Passions</i>, is super smooth and moisturizing. I understand the hype around this color and think it's a good place to start with if the color interests you and you've never tried this brand.</div>
<br />
<h4 class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://www.redapplelipstick.com/lipsticks/ooh-la-la/">Ooh La La</a></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Ooh La La</i> is another color that had the “top seller”
designation on their website. On me, it looks slightly purple, mauvey-brown. I
featured it in my <a href="http://www.rosegoldpanda.com/2015/10/fall-favorites.html">fall favorites</a>, but it’s not too dark that I wouldn’t wear it
all year. I prefer this color over <i>Audrey</i>, but I prefer <i>Audrey</i>'s formula.
<i>Ooh La La</i> has the <i>Satin Formula</i>, which is more matte and doesn't give the same amount of slip as <i>Audrey</i>. It's not drying in general, but it's drying by comparison.</div>

<br />
<b>SAMPLES: </b><br />
You can get these <a href="http://www.redapplelipstick.com/samples">sample pods</a> for $3.50 a piece. It came with a helpful little lip brush and the pods have maybe around 5-7 uses. It's sealed in the back with a sticker that has the shade name on it.</div>
<hr />
<br />
<h4 class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://www.redapplelipstick.com/lipstick/naughty">Naughty</a></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Naughty</i> is a nude mauve that is kinda in between <i>Audrey</i> and
<i>Ooh La La</i>. <i>Naughty</i> has the <i>X-Series Formula</i>, which to me felt similar to <i>Ooh La La</i>'s satin formula, but it was hard for me to get a total feel of the formula since I didn't get to apply it directly from a bullet.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<h4 class="MsoNormal">
<b>Sunkissed</b></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Sunkissed</i> is a bright, orangey red. It was on clearance when I did my <a href="http://www.rosegoldpanda.com/2015/10/fall-favorites.html">Fall Favorites</a> post and I think it's discontinued now. But it’s super pigmented and
long lasting.</div>
<br />
<br />
<h4 class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://www.redapplelipstick.com/lipsticks/hollype-o/">Hollypeno</a></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Hollypeno</i> is a bright, bright red. It has the <i>Satin Formula</i>, like <i>Ooh La La</i>. I like how neutral toned it is because a lot of my red lipsticks lean pink or orange. Plus, it's vegan and dye free which is awesome!</div>

Here's the first time I'm focusing a post on a male-targeted (but unisex friendly) brand! Read on for an overview of Every Man Jack.<br />

<b>Every Man Jack</b> is an affordable, cruelty-free, natural brand that can easily be found at stores like Whole Foods and Target. Everything I'm showing is vegan and most of their line is vegan (exceptions are their lip balm, pomade, and fiber cream). I happened to try products with gender-neutral scents, but many of their products are offered in more traditionally masculine scents like sandalwood and cedarwood.<br />
<br />
Quick breakdown:<br />
<br />
<b>Pros:</b> affordable, accessible, natural, vegan friendly, pretty packaging, has scents "for men"<br />
<b>Cons:</b> some products work better than others, may have ingredients to avoid depending on your preferences<br />
<br />

<h4>
Every Man Jack // Citrus Body Scrub*</h4>
Price: <a href="http://everymanjack.com/body/body-wash/body-wash-citrus.html">$6.00</a><br />
<br />
<div style="border: dotted 5px #aaaaaa; margin: 10px; padding: 30px; text-align: justify;">
Ingredients: Aqua/Water/Eau, Sodium Coco-Sulfate, Glycerin, Jojoba Esters, Acrylates
Copolymer, Cocamidopropylamine Oxide, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange)
Peel Oil, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil, Lauramidopropyl
Betaine, Polyquaternium-7, Citric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium
Phytate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium
Sorbate, Fragrance/Parfum</div>
<br />
My introduction to Every Man Jack started with this body wash. I bought it for my boyfriend at a time when I was interested in shopping greener but didn't know much about how to do it. I found Whole Foods intimidating and this seemed like the best option at Target so I went for this. Even now, being a blogger and knowing about lots of other brands on the market, there aren't really a ton of choices for male-oriented green brands. And if the men in your life are using Gillette and Axe stuff, this is a major upgrade!! Plus it's not super expensive and it performs like a conventional body wash.<br />
<br />
This specific body wash is called a scrub because it has little beads in it, but it's definitely more like a body wash than a scrub. The beads provide a bit of exfoliation, but since the product suds up a lot, the foam kinda overpowers the beads. I used this on occasion and I liked it, but I prefer something more moisturizing. My boyfriend uses it daily though, and has no issues with it.<br />
<br />
There were two things that made me hesitate on initially recommending this product, which were: I thought it used synthetic fragrance and that it had plastic microbeads. The packaging doesn't make it clear whether the fragrance is natural or synthetic, but I've been informed that it is natural. Also, this scrub has been reformulated to replace the microbeads with biodegradable jojoba beads! The new formula should be making its way into stores now. After trying both, I can say that the new formula works just like the old one, but now I'm happy to recommend it because no plastic microbeads, yay :) <br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
Every Man Jack // Daily Shampoo*</h4>
Price: <a href="http://everymanjack.com/hair/shampoo-conditioner/daily-shampoo-sandalwood.html">$8.00</a><br />
<br />
<div style="border: dotted 5px #aaaaaa; margin: 10px; padding: 30px; text-align: justify;">
Ingredients: Aqua/Water/Eau, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice*, Sodium Laurylglucosides
Hydroxypropylsulfonate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl
Taurate, Glycol Stearate, Octinoxate, Glycerin, Panthenol,
Polyquaternium-44, Allantoin, Amodimethicone, Citric Acid, Sodium
Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Fragrance/Parfum.
*Certified Organic</div>
<br />
This has not touched my hair because it has sillicone, which I avoid, but my boyfriend has been using it. Not much to say since he has short, low maintenance hair, but it gets the necessary cleansing done and he has no complaints. This shampoo has a cedarwood scent, which he likes.<br />
<br />

<br />
<h4>
Every Man Jack // Deodorant in Signature Mint & Citrus*</h4>
Price: <a href="http://everymanjack.com/body/deodorant/deodorant-signaturemint.html">$6.00</a><br />
<br />
<div style="border: dotted 5px #aaaaaa; margin: 10px; padding: 30px; text-align: justify;">
Ingredients (for Signature Mint): Aqua/Water/Eau, Propanediol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice*, Sodium
Stearate, Witch Hazel Distillate, Gossypium Herbaceum (Cotton) Extract, Calendula
Extract*, Myrrh Gum Extract, Alpine Lichen Extract, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Chamomile
Extract*, Mentha Viridis (Spearmint) Leaf Oil, Crithmum Maritimum Extract, Chondrus
Crispus (Carrageenan) Extract, Fragrance/Parfum. *Certified Organic</div>
<br />
Unfortunately, this product was a failure. To be fair, natural deodorant is a terribly difficult product to master, especially in stick form. These deodorants smell great, glide on super smoothly, and are affordable. <i>But</i> the wear-time is terrible - around 3-4 hours on me. It has decent reviews online so it might work for you, but both me and my boyfriend didn't have much luck with these. I'm hoping to get some use out of these in the upcoming winter months, but I definitely would not rely on it for summer heat.<br />
<br />
FYI: I reviewed a bunch of natural deodorants <a href="http://www.rosegoldpanda.com/2015/08/natural-vegan-deodorant-overview.html">here</a>, and my two favorites are still Schmidt's and Blissoma, although I'm a little less enthusiastic about the Blissoma one now because it's hardening up with the colder temperatures. The quest for natural deodorant continues!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="border: 3px double rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 30px; text-align: center;">
Overall: Every Man Jack is worth checking out if you want cheap, natural goods or if you know a "man" looking for "manly" things.</div>

Lipstick</h4>
<b><a href="http://www.redapplelipstick.com/lipsticks/ooh-la-la/">Red Apple Lipstick - Ooh La La ($23.50)</a> </b><br />
<br />
I feel like I really owe you all a RAL review because I made my order a month ago and I promised a review "soon" in my <a href="http://www.rosegoldpanda.com/2015/09/brand-list-natural-and-vegan-lipsticks.html">lipstick brand list</a>, but things have been moving slowly for me on the blogging front. Apologies! Anywho, all you need to know is that the hype is real with this brand and this color is a great everyday fall one.<br />
<br />
I ordered <i>Ooh La La</i> and <i>Audrey</i>, and the formula of <i>Ooh La La</i> is drier/more matte than <i>Audrey</i>, but still comfortable to wear. <i>Ooh La La</i> is a "dusty rose" but it leans more mauvey-purple on me.<br />

I'm not a huge blush person, but this one is cheap and it works. The orange color is very autumnal, imo.<br />

Eyeshadow</h4>
<b><a href="http://www.brijacosmetics.com/store/p104/Mulled_Wine_Eyeshadow.html">Brija Cosmetics - Mulled Wine ($1.45)</a></b><br />
<br />
Another affordable pick! I've had this sample baggy for awhile and
it's still going strong. The full size is affordable too, $5.50. <i>Mulled Wine </i>is a shimmery dark plum color. I like wearing it paired with <i>Strive</i>.<br />

Foundation</h4>
<b><a href="http://www.100percentpure.com/products/healthy-skin-foundation-golden-peach">100% Pure Healthy Skin Foundation ($42.00)</a></b><br />
<br />
I saw someone else post 100% Pure samples on IG, so I asked for this foundation sample when I visited my local store. If you don't have a store near you, their site does free shipping and returns. This is
a high coverage, matte, liquid foundation that feels lightweight.
And it doesn't look bad if I apply it with my fingers, so this is easy and quick for me to use. I go through foundation at a snail's pace (#collegelife) but eventually when I clear out my stash, this will be at the top of my wishlist! <br />

Summery item</h4>
<b><a href="http://www.redapplelipstick.com/lipstick/sunkissed.html">Red Apple Lipstick - Sunkissed ($16.50)</a></b><br />
<br />
Apparently, the full size tube is on clearance right now! The sample pod retails for $3.50. <i>Sunkissed </i>is
a red-coral color that looks more orange on the site than it does on
me. I love how bright and pigmented this is and it leaves a stain
behind. I wore it in that <a href="https://instagram.com/p/9CnlN-DtDG/?taken-by=rosegoldpanda">wedding photo</a> I posted on IG and I had it on for ~4 hours at that point.<br />

I am utterly devoted to lipstick, but I ended up really liking this
lipgloss. It's wonderfully not thick or sticky! Yay. Only bummer is it
has beeswax, making it <b>not vegan</b>.<br />

<br />
I've been masking less lately because of school, so when I do get the energy to mask, it's a lot more special with this one. I think I have around 10 face masks in my collection right now and this is my favorite! Might not be the best for sensitive skin because it is more on the intense side, but I love the clean and refreshing feeling it gives. And the smell is great! I did a review of this mask, along with the aqua boost one, <a href="http://www.rosegoldpanda.com/2015/08/review-100-pure-herbal-detox-mask-aqua.html">here</a>.<br />

<b><a href="http://www.100percentpure.com/products/mangosteen-whipped-body-butter">100% Pure Body Whipped Body Butter* ($25.00)</a></b><br />
<br />
This is a rich body butter that is more moisturizing than a lotion, but also doesn't feel super heavy. The texture is good year round, but I think it's extra great for the cooler months. I'm not a fan of natural body butters that are solid and need to be warmed up (such as Ellovi), so I love 100% Pure's. If you liked the texture of The Body Shop body butters, I'd recommend trying these for a healthier option! <br />

<br />
I got these dark green boots last year at DSW. I don't know the name,
but they're basically if <a href="http://www.stevemadden.com/product/WOMENS/Boots/TROOPA2-0/c/2163/sc/2211/180858.uts?selectedColor=BLACK-LEATHER">Troopa</a> boots had a back zipper. I
looove combat boots. I have a pair of Doc Martens that I wore throughout
high school, but I gravitate toward less bulky boots now. Most of Steve Madden's shoes are leather,
which I now want to avoid, so if you have recommendations for high quality
vegan boots, let me know! Also, I'm a size 5 which adds to the struggle ;__;<br />

I used to be obsessed with Starbucks' holiday drinks, but I've lowered my sugar
intake the past year and most Sbux drinks are too sweet for me to handle
now. Soooo here's a boring tea! I
drink tea mostly in the cooler months because I don't like iced tea and I
hate waiting for tea to cool, haha. I've just tried Yogi for the first
time -- this one is just plain green tea -- but I like it and am
planning on trying more flavors! Oh and it's organic.<br />

<h4>
Cruelty Free For You & Me: Fall Box*</h4>
<br />
<div style="border: dotted 5px #aaaaaa; margin: 10px; padding: 30px; text-align: justify;">
About the box:<br />
- Price is $49.99 (average value ~$100)<br />
- Seasonal; new box every 3 months<br />
- Up to 6 full size products.<br />
- Cruelty-free and natural. Most beauty products are vegan, but not all. Dog goodies will range from organic treats to eco-friendly toys.</div>
<br />
To find out more, you can visit their site <a href="https://crueltyfree4youandme.cratejoy.com/">here</a>, or follow them <a href="https://instagram.com/crueltyfree4youandme/">@crueltyfree4youandme</a>.<br />
<br />
This box was curated by the blogger, Shermeen of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/BeautyInAmin">BeautyinAmin</a>,
and I think she did a great job including a wide range of products and
brands. The dog portion is curated by her dogs :)<br />

<br />
<h4>
Price</h4>
$49.99 seems like a lot compared to monthly boxes that are $10-$20, but this box is full size products, not sample sizes. Also, the box itself is fancy - thick, sturdy, magnetic closure. It's more of a gift box than a packaging box since it ships with a mailer covering it. I love this because I'll definitely reuse it for storage, whereas I only reuse my Petit Vour boxes to mail packages.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Coupon!</h4>
And to bring the cost lower, I have a coupon<i> </i>to share with you!<br />

<br />
<h4>
For the dog: </h4>
- <b>Max & Ruffy's</b> | 327 B.C. Banana & Coconut Flavor, Grain Free ($5.25)<br />
- <b>Complete Natural Nutrition</b> | Cheese Please ($5)<br />
<br />
<br />
Both of these treats are healthy with minimal ingredients. The <i>Max & Ruffy's</i> treats are organic and the <i>Complete Natural Nutrition</i> ones are only one ingredient.<br />
<br />
If you don't have a dog, you can still consider getting this box and giving the dog products to a friend. This box was mostly beauty products (5 beauty products vs. 2 dog products) so that could be a pro/con depending on what you're looking for.<br />
<br />
Since I don't have a dog, I passed on the treats to my friend's dog, Spec. He seemed to like them!<br />

<br />
<b>Red Apple Lipstick Eyeshadow</b>: super pigmented and buttery! I already know RAL is a high quality, reputable brand so I was happy to see one of their products included. This was one of my favorite finds in the box. <i>Down to Earth</i> is a shimmery copper color (swatches are at the end of this post). It's only the pan, so you'll need to pop this into an empty palette. <br />

<br />
*Not vegan*<br />
<br />
<b>Lauren Brooke Lip Glaze</b>: Another great find. I don't like lip gloss, but I'm happy with this because it's moisturizing, smooth, and not sticky. You twist the bottom and the product comes out of the rubber tip. <i>Candied Plum</i> is a sheer, glossy mauve-plum color. It works well on its own or on top of other lip products without feeling too thick.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Brija Cosmetics Cream Blush:</b> I'm familiar with Brija, but I haven't tried their cream blush yet. Brija is an affordable brand, run by Brianna of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/iluvjesse444/">iluvjesse444</a>. I love that this box includes smaller, indie brands such as this one. This cream blush has a light consistency that works for lips and cheeks. <i>Riveting </i>is a similar color to the RAL eyeshadow, but more warm toned and not as shimmery. You might call it rose gold, depending on your definition of rose gold (I think it's not quite pink enough haha).<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3IUhclchMvBXcctWu0sjZD5G1TU4Y0T5cA6TvxNa5U678G6CisrlJnUx7zJZz9PZjeNIUgDUduE5CmEs2LegoVju6yRprdM2QymM8MkhJzYiLw62zCo13ZtqcyK9MN1IOt0eNqQ8Fyy07/s1600/crueltyfree4youandme+box+10.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Photo of Pure Natural Diva Scrub and Skinveda Mask." border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3IUhclchMvBXcctWu0sjZD5G1TU4Y0T5cA6TvxNa5U678G6CisrlJnUx7zJZz9PZjeNIUgDUduE5CmEs2LegoVju6yRprdM2QymM8MkhJzYiLw62zCo13ZtqcyK9MN1IOt0eNqQ8Fyy07/s640/crueltyfree4youandme+box+10.png" title="" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
<b>Pure Natural Diva Scrub:</b> This is your standard
sugar scrub that will exfoliate and moisturize your body. I think the
unique part is the scent, which has notes of sandalwood and vanilla. A
very fall appropriate scent that reminds me of pumpkin spice.<br />
<br />
<b>Skinveda Mask:</b> This is a ready-to-go mask (no mixing required) that smells strongly of roses. It dries quickly so it's good for a quick masking session, and is more on the gentle side. My skin felt more hydrated and balanced after using it.<br />

Here are swatches of the makeup and below is a photo with them on my face! On the left photo, I'm wearing the lip glaze on its own and on the right, it's on top of Silk Naturals Marsala Lipstick. I think the makeup products coordinate well together and make a nice neutral fall look.<br />

<h4>
Criticisms:</h4>
<b>- Not vegan</b><br />
I think the only non-vegan beauty product was the lip glaze, so I wonder how difficult it would be to make all the beauty products vegan. I don't know anything about vegan dog diets, so I won't comment on that. But if the point of the box is to promote a cruelty-free lifestyle and to spread love to your dogs, I think it would be great if that animal love was taken a step further by providing vegan beauty products. Don't get me wrong, a lot of subscription boxes are not cruelty-free, so I applaud this one for what it's doing, but it would make me even more happy if it became more vegan-friendly in the future.<br />
<br />
<b>- Inflated value?</b><br />
This box's value totals to $110.25, which is a good deal for the $50 you pay. However, I feel like it's a little inflated by overpriced products such as the body scrub and face mask. I liked those two products, but I wasn't wowed by them and would not spend $30+ on them. Still, I think the box as a whole is worth the $50.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="border: 3px double rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 30px; text-align: center;">
<b>Overall: </b><br />
It's a unique idea for a box that is perfect for beauty & dog lovers, but it's also appropriate for dog-less people like me because there's a lot of beauty products included. I will be making use of all the products, which is great! The beauty products have some seasonal elements (warm colors and scents for fall) while still being widely flattering and usable.</div>

<h4>
VEGAN SHOPS</h4>
I love browsing vegan shops (like <a href="http://www.petitvour.com/">Petit Vour</a>, <a href="http://vegancuts.com/">Vegan Cuts</a>, <a href="http://kindbeautycollective.com/">Kind Beauty Collective</a>) because that way I know the product is definitely vegan and I can just check the natural-ness myself. It's a lot easier than looking at natural shops and hunting down the limited vegan options! <br />

Moisturizers with SPF are an essential for me because this one product can keep my face moisturized and
protected. This 100% Pure one is awesome! My skin has not had any adverse reactions to it and it does
not make my face oily throughout the day.<br />
<br />
<b>Non-Nano Zinc Oxide</b><br />
<br />
First off, this uses non-nano Zinc Oxide, which is what you should be looking for in your SPF. A lot of cheaper natural sunscreens use chemical sunscreens like Octinoxate, Homosalate, and Avobenzone which are less risky than Oxybenzone, but are still absorbed into the skin and can be hormone disrupters. Since Zinc Oxide acts as a physical barrier, it's one of the safest choices. <a href="http://www.ewg.org/2015sunscreen/report/the-trouble-with-sunscreen-chemicals/">EWG</a> is a great resource for learning more about sunscreen ingredients.<br />
<br />
<b>Application</b><br />
<br />
If I'm in a rush, my morning routine will just be cleansing with a konjac sponge and then slapping this on. <br />
<br />
If I have the time, I prefer using this with another moisturizer underneath because it helps the sunscreen spread and adds some moisture, but it works fine on its own too. I have normal skin, so if you have dry skin, you'll probably need the additional step. Oily skin folks should check out the <a href="http://www.100percentpure.com/collections/moisturizer-spf/products/green-tea-oil-free-hydration-spf-30">green tea version for oily skin</a>.<br />

The product comes out thick, but smoothes out onto the skin nicely. I mean, it won't be as smooth as a sunscreen-less moisturizer, but that's kinda the price you have to pay sometimes! It doesn't make my face feel sticky or like I put a heavy/thick product on it, which is all I ask. There is some whitecast, due to the nature of Zinc Oxide, but it's bearable. I don't mind it because it helps me know that my skin is covered. Also, if you're wearing makeup over it, it won't be an issue.<br />
<br />
I'm indifferent to the scent. It smells like sunscreen (like minerals I guess?) which isn't the worst thing, but I don't love it. Andalou Naturals has moisturizers that smell like oranges and roses, so this smells super boring by comparison, but the ingredients in 100% Pure's products are much better, since Andalou uses chemical sunscreens.<br />

Vitamin E, organic calendula oil, organic chamomile oil, organic jojoba
oil, flower wax coated iron oxides.</div>
<br />
This lipstick is advertised as a lipstick that thinks it's a lip balm.<br />
I think it's lip balmy in the sense of not being super pigmented but the texture and feel of it is very lipstick-y to me. It feels heavier than a balm and isn't as forgiving on chapped lips as a tinted balm would be. <br />
<br />
<i>Color</i>: I chose Chocolate Kiss because I wanted to try out a brown lipstick and although this looks very brown on the hand swatch, it looks more red once it's on my lips. Since it's on the sheer side, my natural lip color shows through a little. I can layer it on to make it closer to brown, but I've found that when I do that, the formula starts feeling a little sticky. If I just apply a thin layer, it is comfortable though. I don't think it's particularly moisturizing or drying.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<i>Packaging</i>: sleek, matte black tube; feels sturdy<br />
<i>Scent</i>: unscented<br />
<i>Lasting Power</i>: good/didn't have any problems with it<br />
<br />
I think I would have been happier with this formula if I had it in a more rosy-pink shade. The slight sheerness could make it good for a MLBB look. With this brown color though, I was disappointed that it wasn't opaque since it wasn't the look I was going for.<br />

<h4>
<a href="http://www.hyntbeauty.com/product-p/dc01.htm">1. Duet Perfecting Concealer</a></h4>
<br />
This is without a doubt, Hynt Beauty's most well known product. It's known for being full coverage and I've heard multiple bloggers say it restored their faith in natural concealers.<br />
<br />
I actually haven't tried any natural concealers because I'm relatively new to wearing foundation and concealer. The main purpose I would have for concealer would be to cover up zits but whenever I looked up reviews for other natural concealers, someone would always say that it was light-medium coverage or better for under-eyes, which turned me off from buying concealers.<br />
<br />
Ok, so this is supposed to be full coverage and yes, it covers very well! The squeeze tube is kinda hard to squeeze, but that's a good thing, because a little goes a long way. It comes out as a cream, which I warm with my fingers and then apply.<br />
<br />
This particular shade was too light for my skin, which was a big disappointment! I was able to work with it by using the darker foundation from the kit over it, but I'm unable to use it without foundation. Hynt doesn't have any sampling options for it, which is too bad because if
I were purchasing this on its own, I would like the option to test it
and color match myself before buying the full size.<br />
<br />
I've heard mixed things about whether people think it's hydrating or drying and I can see both sides. I didn't have an issue with using it to cover scars and discoloration, but when using it on blemishes, I thought it was a little on the drying side. Fortunately, this concealer is easy to mix with moisturizers or other products, which is what I plan on experimenting more with.<br />
<br />
A photo of this in action is at the end of the post. <br />
<br />
The concealer retails for <a href="http://www.hyntbeauty.com/product-p/dc01.htm">$24.00</a> by itself. <br />

<h4>
<a href="http://www.hyntbeauty.com/product-p/vf01.htm">2. Velluto Pure Powder Foundation</a></h4>
<br />
I have never used powder foundation (only liquid and cream), but I found this easy to use.<br />
<br />
All the jars in this kit come with rotating sifters, which is handy because it helps control how much product comes out. The kit's mini brush fits perfectly into the jar lid so you can easily pick up the product. I also tried using the <a href="http://www.eyeslipsface.com/studio/tools/single-brushes/powder_brush">e.l.f. Studio Powder Brush</a> with good results.<br />
<br />
<i>Light Beige</i>: for fair-light skin with neutral beige or yellow undertones.<br />
<i>Medium Beige</i>: for medium skin with neutral beige or medium olive undertones.<br />
<br />
Light Beige was the better match for me. I used Medium Beige over the concealer since the concealer was too light and I also used it as a contour color.<br />
<br />
The foundation claims to be ultra-finely milled. I can't attest to that because I don't have a point of comparison, but I will say that it applies smoothly and feels light. It conquers redness like a champion and leaves a nice natural finish. It's slightly matte, but not super matte and since it provides light-medium coverage, it doesn't give that obvious foundation look. It's a good match for the concealer because you can use the full coverage concealer to spot conceal and then use this foundation for a bit of coverage all over.<br />
<br />
Individual samples of this foundation are available for <a href="http://www.hyntbeauty.com/product-p/ff01.htm">$5.00</a><br />
The size in the kit is actually "Velluto to go." The full size is <a href="http://www.hyntbeauty.com/product-p/vf01.htm">$69.00</a>, which sounds scary, but it includes a larger Velluto, a Velluto to go, and a brush. I find it a little strange that they sell them this way but you do you, Hynt.<br />

<a href="http://www.hyntbeauty.com/product-p/ff01.htm">3. Finale Finishing Powder</a></h4>
<br />
This is a translucent finishing powder. I don't have much to say about it because I don't get very oily so this wasn't necessary for me. When I wore this with the foundation, it felt too drying, so I figure that I don't need to be putting any more powder on my face. It seems to blend into the skin nicely, though.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
<a href="http://www.hyntbeauty.com/product-p/lr01f.htm">4. Lumiere Radiance Boosting Powder</a></h4>
<br />
This is a powder that you can lightly dust all over for a glow. It gives a golden sheen and I tried using it as a highlight, but didn't find it very flattering. I thought it emphasized my pores, which might be because I was using too much product. The kit's brush is dense and I don't have any looser fluffy brushes, but I think one of those would probably work better with this product. <br />

Alto Radiant Powder Blush (Passion Pink)*</h4>
Price: <a href="http://www.hyntbeauty.com/product-p/rb01.htm">$28.00</a><br />
<br />
Passion pink is a soft mauvey pink that has more of a sheen than shimmer.<br />
<br />
This blush is super pigmented! Only a tiny bit of powder is needed to create a soft flush. It's also long wearing and this ended up being one of my favorite products. I love the pink box too ;P<br />

The concealer looks a little pink in the swatch but it's more neutral in person.<br />

<div style="border: 3px double rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 30px; text-align: center;">
Overall:<br />
If you're in the market for new foundation, I think the Discovery Kit is worth trying out.<br />
If not, then you definitely need to try out the concealer and see what the hype is about!<br />
The blush is lovely as well and I look forward to seeing what else Hynt releases in terms of color cosmetics (they've mentioned on their <a href="https://instagram.com/hyntbeauty/">IG</a> that they have lipsticks coming up!).</div>

When this mask came out, I sent photos of it to my boyfriend because I thought it looked hilarious. Secretly, I really wanted to try it, so I'm glad I'm getting the chance to now!<br />
<br />
This hydrogel mask is unique from typical paper sheet masks because it delivers nutrients through the hydrogel mixture of aloe water and plant cellulose. <span style="line-height: 1.4;">As you leave the mask on, the hydrogel thins.</span> Following Aloe on the ingredients list is Green Coffee Extract. Caffeine restores sun damaged skin, is<span style="line-height: 1.4;"> anti-inflammatory, stimulates circulation, and soothes redness. </span><br />

Be careful about opening this because my clumsy self spilled liquid everywhere! If you save the packaging and liquid, you can pop this in the fridge and re-use it another time. Because I couldn't bring myself to throw the pretty thing away, I did try using it a 3rd time, but it didn't have the same full effect as the first two uses.<br />
<br />
The mask has perforations so that it fits around your nose and lips. I had to lay down or else the middle part of the mask would loosen up. It feels very cooling on the skin - especially perfect for summer! - and will remain that way through the whole masking session. This cooling is the main draw for me. I thought I loved the tingling sensation from the <a href="http://www.rosegoldpanda.com/2015/08/review-100-pure-herbal-detox-mask-aqua.html">Herbal Detox Mask</a>, but this takes facial sensations to a whole new level! It really does feel like the hydrogel is hugging your skin and nourishing it. The mask's scent is similar to the <a href="http://www.100percentpure.com/products/mattifying-primer">Mattifying Primer</a>, which I'm guessing is due to some shared ingredients like aloe and seaweed.<br />

The directions say to leave it on for 15-20 minutes, but I left it on for around 30. I came out with baby soft skin which stuck around into the next day. I was unsure about how well the mask would keep in the fridge, so I just used it on consecutive days and had pampered skin all day, err day. As for long term effects, it's kinda hard for me to tell, especially since my skin isn't very wrinkly or sun damaged, but I am convinced that it did some good.<br />
<br />
If you end up falling in love with these, they are offered in discounted 5 packs. Personally, I like this but not enough to buy a 5 pack. I can guarantee you that I will be purchasing a mask during finals week, though! Stressed out? Smother your face with a cooling Hannibal Lecter mask :)<br />

Why use natural deodorants? </h4>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Sweating is a natural way that your body detoxifies. Conventional deodorants
clog your pores, which leads to those toxins building up. These deodorants I’m
reviewing are aluminum free and will neutralize odor, but still allow your body
to do its thang.</div>

1. Tom's of Maine Deodorant (Unscented)</h4>
Price: <a href="http://www.vitacost.com/toms-of-maine-natural-deodorant-aluminum-free-unscented">$4.57</a><br />
<br />
Cruelty-free and Vegan.<br />
<i>Tom's is cruelty-free but their parent company is not. </i><br />
<br />
I got this at Target when I had a panic about aluminum deodorant. They had this one and a lavender one, but I'm not a fan of lavender so I chose unscented.<br />
<br />
This was the worst deodorant I've tried. It barely lasted a few hours and when it faded, it would leave me smelling a lot worse than if I wasn't wearing it. I guess it didn't work with my body chemistry.<br />

2. Kiss My Face Natural Liquid Rock (Fragrance Free)</h4>
Price: <a href="http://www.vitacost.com/kiss-my-face-deodorant-liquid-rock-roll-on-fragrance-free-3-fl-oz-3">$3.99</a><br />
<br />
Cruelty-free and Vegan.<br />
<br />
While Kiss My Face isn't carried at Target, it's available at most health food stores and I've also seen it pop up at TJ Maxx/Marshalls.<br />
<br />
This deodorant is a liquid roll on, which makes application quick and easy. It did the job in the cooler months, but in the summer, I have to re-apply once or twice so I haven't been reaching for it.<br />
<br />
<b>** Potassium Alum warning **</b><br />
This is a controversial ingredient because some say that it is linked to aluminum, so I would suggest avoiding it if you can. Some other brands that use potassium alum are Crystal and Alvera.<br />

<h4>
3. Schmidt's Deodorant (Bergamot + Lime)</h4>
Price: <a href="http://schmidts-deodorant.myshopify.com/">$8.99</a><br />
<br />
Cruelty-free and Vegan.<br />
<br />
I've spotted Schmidt's at Whole Foods and Urban Outfitters, as well as a few online shops.<br />
<br />
I never thought I would be scooping my deodorant out of a jar, but here I am. The things I do for my health. To use this, you scoop out a bit with the little spatula that's included, warm it between your fingers, and rub it into your pits. I bear with the pesky application because this deodorant works extremely well and the bergamot lime scent is amazing! <br />
<br />
Schmidt's keeps me fresh all day, even in the summer. The only problem is that a lot of people have reactions to the baking soda in it. I haven't reacted yet, but I've also been being careful about using it too many days in a row.<br />
<br />
A baking soda free alternative is offered by <a href="http://meowmeowtweet.myshopify.com/collections/body-care/products/baking-soda-free-deodorant-cream?variant=960689384">Meow Meow Tweet</a>, which I've heard loads of good things about but have yet to try.<br />

<h4>
4. North Coast Organics (Revolver and Al Sol)</h4>
Price: <a href="http://www.northcoastorganics.net/#!/Organic-Deodorants/c/7094980/offset=0&sort=normal">$9.99</a><br />
<br />
Cruelty-free and Vegan.<br />
<br />
These are available at a few stores, but you're probably going to need to order it online.<br />
<br />
I bought "Revolver" for my boyfriend and "Al Sol" for myself. One thing I disliked was that the descriptions on their site were very vague. They didn't give you much of a sense of what the scents would smell like because the ingredients would say "proprietary blend of essential oils." It seems that they have now updated the ingredients of Al Sol to say that it contains these essential oils: bergamot, cypress, lavender, coriander, myrrh, clary sage, citronella, eucalyptus lemon and eucalyptus. Revolver and Al Sol smell similar but Revolver smells more musky/spicy, while Al Sol is a bit more sweet. I like fresh and fruity scents so I ended up being disappointed with Al Sol's smell.<br />
<br />
These deodorants work pretty well and will last through most (but not all) of a summer day. My main complaint is that they are difficult to apply because the stick is a very hard texture. This probably wouldn't be as much of an issue if you live in a warmer climate. You can try to warm it up by holding it in your armpit or using your fingers, but if I'm going to go to that much trouble, I'd rather use Schmidt's.<br />

5. Routine Cream (Sexy Sadie)</h4>
Price: <a href="http://www.petitvour.com/collections/the-july-box/products/routine-cream-natural-deodorant">$3.00</a><br />
<br />
Cruelty-free and Vegan.<br />
<br />
I wasn't planning on getting any more deodorants until I finished my current ones, but then this popped up in <a href="http://www.rosegoldpanda.com/2015/07/unboxing-petit-vour-july-2015-box.html">July's Petit Vour box</a>.<br />
<br />
I really like the texture of this! It's another deodorant that you have to apply with your fingers, but it takes less effort than Schmidt's because it's creamy and you can skip the warming up part.<br />
<br />
This is similar in staying power to North Coast Organics - it lasts almost all day and I usually skip on reapplying. Part of the reason I don't feel that it lasts all day may be that I think this scent smells a little weird once it's faded. "Sexy Sadie" is spicy but slightly sweet, kinda cinnamon-y. Now I'm thinking of that Lana Del Rey song that's like "now my life is sweet like cinnamon." Anywho, I would consider getting this in a different scent. The full size is quite pricy though at $24.<br />

6. Blissoma Scentless Stick Mini</h4>
Price: <a href="https://www.blissoma.com/Scentless-Stick-Mini-Solid-Natural-Deodorant_p_119.html">$8.99</a><br />
<br />
Cruelty-free and Vegan.<br />
<br />
I won this in a giveaway, but I think Blissoma is primarily sold online.<br />
<br />
I haven't had this one for long, but so far it has been holding up well through the summer heat. Blissoma's deodorant doesn't glide on like conventional ones, but it's still a step up from North Coast Organics. It's got an interesting gray color that will show up in your pits, but if that bothers you, you can rub it in.<br />
<br />
Although it doesn't have a fun scent like Schmidt's, it still works very well at controlling odor. Plus, they formulated this with sensitive skin in mind, so it has low levels of baking soda combined with other ingredients like zinc, which are supposed to soothe the skin. No major cons to report about this one!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="border: 3px double rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 30px; text-align: center;">
Overall: My favorite deodorant is Schmidt's. If you're looking to get one in a stick form, I'd recommend Blissoma.</div>

Is all rosehip oil the same?

<h4>
GoPure Rosehip Oil*</h4>
Price: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/GoPure-Naturals-100%25-Nails-Dropper/dp/B00T10DFJ8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1439434285&sr=8-3&keywords=go+pure+rosehip+oil">$13.95</a><br />
<br />
I was interested in reviewing this because I loved <a href="http://www.rosegoldpanda.com/2015/07/review-acure-oils-argan-marula-rosehip.html">Acure's rosehip oil*</a> and was curious about how this would compare. Acure's is $12.99 for 1 ounce, while GoPure is $13.95 for 4 ounces. Seems like a good deal right? Well, I definitely noticed a big difference in the quality between the two.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>1. The Color & Smell</b><br />
The color is a very light yellow, while Acure's is bright orange. On GoPure's product page, they say "<span class="a-list-item">Our Rosehip is Cold Pressed Therefore it is a Light Honey Color, not dark red-orange." I'm no expert in cold pressing, but Acure's oil is also cold pressed and the color is way different and it has a stronger grassy smell. This combined with the fact that GoPure's scent is very subdued, almost scentless, makes me question how pure the oil is. Also, who would want to trust a company that can't capitalize correctly...?</span><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2. Organic?</b><br />
<span class="a-list-item">On the bottle, it says "certified organic" but does not say who certified it. This oil is sold on both <a href="http://www.amazon.com/GoPure-Naturals-100%25-Nails-Dropper/dp/B00T10DFJ8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1439434285&sr=8-3&keywords=go+pure+rosehip+oil">Amazon</a> and another site called <a href="http://www.cleopatraschoice.com/gpr-0004.html">Cleopatra's Choice</a>. On the other site, it says certified by the USDA, but it does not say that on Amazon or on the packaging. I find this inconsistency a little suspicious.</span><br />
<br />
<b>3. No refrigeration note</b><br />
<span class="a-list-item">Rosehip oil needs to be refrigerated to remain fresh and stable, but there is no note about that anywhere. It makes me question how much these people really know about their product. They have paragraphs and paragraphs about all the wonderful uses this oil has but have nothing about refrigeration. Moreover, they claim that it has a 3 year shelf life. What. That is way too long. To my knowledge, rosehip oil lasts up to 2 years if refrigerated and 6 months if not.</span><br />
<br />
<b>4. Performance</b><br />
<span class="a-list-item">This oil was not as moisturizing as Acure's and did not repair my skin to the same effect. GoPure's directions say that you should apply it 2-3 times a day and that it may take some time to see results. After a week of using this, I didn't see any results and I didn't want to waste my time any more. With using the Acure oil just once a day, I saw almost immediate results. Plus, I prefer Acure's pump packaging.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="border: 3px double rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 30px; text-align: center;">
<span class="a-list-item">Overall, I would not recommend GoPure's oil and will definitely be sticking to brands I find more trustworthy.</span></div>

Cute makeup pencils for your eyes and lips! Read on for the review and swatches.<br />

The Eye Creamsticks and Vitamints come in the same chubby pencil packaging that twists up at the bottom. Here is what they look like when you twist it all up. The entire tube isn't filled, but it's got about as much product as your typical lipstick.<br />

These make putting on eyeshadow soooo easy! The creamy base blends out nicely without needing brushes and I think the shimmer helps tie the look together and make it look not as harsh (these all have shimmer). If you want to use more than one creamstick at a time, they blend into each other well too. And they work as eyeliners! They're too chubby to fit in my waterline, but it looks great on the lashline and lasts amazingly there.<br />
<br />
These aren't super creamy, but they're creamy enough to be gentle on the eyelid. The con would be that you do need to apply a few layers to build up the pigmentation, but I don't mind because I'm still saving time compared to using brushes. Plus, they stay put! These last around 6 hours on me before creasing which is a feat. I have yet to find a natural primer that works for me, but if you wore this with a primer, it would probably last all day. You can also try putting a powder eyeshadow on top, but that hasn't increased the wear-time for me, personally.<br />

<br />
I'm missing the <a href="http://www.100percentpure.com/collections/eye-makeup/products/eye-creamstick-light">Light</a> eye creamstick which is a white color, but here's all the other shades:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.100percentpure.com/collections/eye-makeup/products/eye-creamstick-naked-glimmer">*Naked Glimmer</a>: A super versatile gold that would probably flatter most skin tones. I love it on my slightly tan skin because it's the perfect pop of shimmer, especially on the lower lashline!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.100percentpure.com/collections/eye-makeup/products/eye-creamstick-ecru-glimmer">*Ecru Glimmer</a>: A rosy brown. This pairs well with Naked Glimmer for a neutral look.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.100percentpure.com/collections/eye-makeup/products/eye-creamstick-susies-favorite">*Susie's Favorite</a>: A silvery taupe. A more unique color that's still neutral.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.100percentpure.com/collections/eye-makeup/products/eye-creamstick-eggplant">*Eggplant</a>: A dark brownish-black with purple tones. I had a hard time with this one. I would only recommend this if you're good with smokey eyes because the purple tones can give off a not cute bruise effect. For me, this is a much more high maintenance color compared to the rest, so it was my least favorite.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.100percentpure.com/collections/eye-makeup/products/eye-creamstick-forest">*Forest</a>: A <i>beautiful</i> green with orangey-brown tones. I've never worn green eyeshadow, but this is gorgeous on the lids. I posted a #motd pic on <a href="https://instagram.com/rosegoldpanda/">my Instagram</a> wearing this on the lids and Naked Glimmer on the crease.<br />

<h4>
100% Pure Vitamint*</h4>
Price: <a href="http://www.100percentpure.com/collections/lipsticks">$25.00</a><br />
<br />
Cruelty-free and vegan.<br />
<br />
These are sheer lip crayons with a slight minty smell/feel when you first apply them. I'll take minty lipstick over waxy smelling lipstick any day! The only other 100% Pure lip product I've tried is their <a href="http://www.100percentpure.com/collections/lipsticks/products/fruit-pigmented-lip-glaze-peach">Peach Lip Glaze</a> (which I reviewed <a href="http://www.rosegoldpanda.com/2015/04/review-100-pure-fruit-pigmented-lip.html">here</a> during my first month of blogging!). Compared to the lip glaze, these are more sheer but more moisturizing.<br />
<br />
The pigmentation varies between the colors. You can build up most of them to be quite bright. Also, because these are sheer, the color will depend on what your natural lip color is. I agree with Rawdorable who said in <a href="http://rawdorable.blogspot.com/2015/06/100-pure-vitamints-make-their-official.html">her review</a> that Peachy and Cake are a little more creamy and dense than the others. If you follow her, you know that she wears the Vitamints regularly, so she knows her stuff! I've also been taking a tip from her feed and experimenting with pairing different Vitamints together.<br />
<br />
Since the pigmentation varies, the wear-time also varies. The Butterscotch color fades on me within an hour, but the moisturizing effect sticks around for a few hours more. The darker colors last longer, especially because they stain my lips.<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
<a href="http://www.100percentpure.com/collections/lipsticks/products/lip-creamstick-vitamint-butterscotch">*Butterscotch</a>: Looks like a nude-brown color in the stick, but doesn't add much color to my lips. It makes them <i>slightly</i> more nude. Would only recommend if you're truly looking for a very sheer, natural looking color.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.100percentpure.com/collections/lipsticks/products/copy-of-lip-creamstick-vitamint-butterscotch">*Peachy</a>: A bright pale pink. Goes on a lot more opaque than Butterscotch. Peachy and Cake have a bit more of a creamy consistency compared to the others which feel light and glossy.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.100percentpure.com/collections/lipsticks/products/lip-creamstick-vitamint-cake">*Cake</a>: A bright medium-toned pink. Similar to Peachy in pigmentation.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.100percentpure.com/collections/lipsticks/products/lip-creamstick-vitamint-dragon-fruit">*Dragon Fruit</a>: A hot pink. I was surprised by how bold this one was! <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.100percentpure.com/collections/lipsticks/products/lip-creamstick-vitamint-cherry-tomato">*Cherry Tomato</a>: A pinkish-red color. It's more on the sheer side and would be a good red for people afraid of reds.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.100percentpure.com/collections/lipsticks/products/lip-creamstick-vitamint-vino">*Vino</a>: A red with slightly mauve tones. One of the more pigmented ones.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">*Note*</span> The darker colors, especially Dragon Fruit and Vino, may stain, so the lip swatches are not 100% accurate since I did all the swatches in a row.</b><br />

The <i>Eye Creamsticks</i> are my favorite natural eyeshadow I've tried so far!! I love the colors, the staying power, and how easy they are to use. My favorites are Naked Glimmer and Forest.<br />
<br />
I like the <i>Vitamints</i> in general, but some colors impress me a lot more than others. It depends on how much pigmentation you're looking for. My favorites are Dragon Fruit and Vino.</div>

<br />
I tried my first Vitamin C serum.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOPa8dfdde1eee9d344a50876ceac6d2f1c" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>
<h4>
<a href="http://www.defynaturals.com/">Defy Naturals Vitamin C Serum</a>*</h4>
Price: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Vitamin-Serum-Defy-Naturals-Satisfaction/dp/B010C9NJ3S/ref=sr_1_85?ie=UTF8&qid=1438758193&sr=8-85&keywords=vitamin+c+serum&m=A3U2USWLOU5C2F">$19.95</a><br />
<br />
So, I was sent this product to review and I did not like it. Partly, because I did not see any results. I don't have any wrinkles to fight, but I do have spots and would have liked to see some brightening. I gave this serum a go for 2 weeks and I might have stuck with it longer to give it a chance, except I hated using it. The label says it'll take 3-5 minutes to dry, but after 5 minutes, it still felt not absorbed. I even tried just using one drop of it and still had the same issue. It just left my face feeling sticky and did not dry down to a smooth texture, even though I applied it to damp skin, as instructed. There's no fragrance added, but I didn't like the scent. I can't really describe it, but I would have preferred if it was more refreshing.<br />
<br />
For a brand that has "naturals" in its name, the ingredients aren't super natural. There's propylene glycol and phenoxyethanol, which I would prefer to avoid. It's my fault for not noticing beforehand, but I do feel a little betrayed by its use of the words "natural" and "organic" in its marketing.<br />
<br />
The redeeming factors would be that this serum is vegan, the packaging is nice and easy to use, and the product is relatively affordable for a serum. Maybe it would suit someone with more dry or mature skin than me, but it did not work out with me.<br />

Winged eyeliner is a must for me, so thankfully there are natural options available! Here's a comparison of the two I have tried so far, from Zuzu Luxe and TANF.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<h4>
Zuzu Luxe Liquid Eyeliner (Raven)</h4>
Price: <a href="http://www.pharmaca.com/Eye-Liner/ZuZu-Luxe-Liquid-Eyeliner---Raven/521229/5010-5195/Product#.VcbQcfmsnQQ">$15.99</a><br />

<h4>

<br />
Cruelty-free and vegan.<br />

<br />
<hr />
<br />
<b>1. Accessibility</b>: Zuzu Luxe is available at Whole Foods, Zuzu Luxe's site, and stores like Pharmaca. TANF is only available online through their site - well they have one store, but it's nowhere near me. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2. Price</b>: TANF is $10 cheaper and the tube is bigger. It seems like a big difference but what annoys me about TANF is having to pay for shipping. Also, you can get Zuzu Luxe for around $10 if Pharmaca is having a sale, in which case the price difference isn't that big. Sometimes they are out of stock though!<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Zuzu Luxe vs. TANF Liquid Eyeliner Comparison</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
<b>3. Pigmentation</b>: Both are opaque black, but Zuzu Luxe has a matte finish, while TANF has a glossy finish. I had issues with TANF applying a bit streaky and it was harder to fill in my cat eye.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Application</b>: Zuzu Luxe - tapered felt tip, very stiff and a bit rough on the eyelid, brush handle is easier to hold, better for thick winged eyeliner. Drys almost instantly.<br />
TANF - brush tip, gentle on eyelid, harder to hold because handle is awkwardly long and round, better for thin eyeliner. I have to be more careful with this because it stays wet longer.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Wear-time</b>: This is the major one!! TANF is more prone to smudging and fading. Zuzu Luxe fades a little but it doesn't really smudge and generally holds up much better. I tried to take before/after pics above, but they're not the best since I did them when I had a chill day at home, so there would be a bigger difference on a normal day.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="border: 3px double rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 30px; text-align: center;">
Overall: I prefer Zuzu Luxe. It's easier for me to use and performs better.</div>

I'm now a #100PureApprovedBlogger!
This means I'll be testing out a lot of 100% Pure's new
releases to share with you all. For my first post, I'm reviewing two of
their new masks (the scary looking caffeine mask will come later).
They're polar opposites, so read on to see which one sparks your fancy!<br />

<br />
<h4>
100% Pure Aqua Boost Hydrating Mask*</h4>
Price: <a href="http://www.100percentpure.com/collections/face-masks-scrubs/products/aqua-boost-hydrating-mask">$32.00</a><br />
<br />
"<i>Hydrating</i> is adding water into your skin cells whereas <i>moisturizing</i> is adding oil - healthy skin needs a good combination
of both." <br />
<br />
100% Pure really impresses me with how unique their products are getting, which allows natural beauty folks to stay trendy. First, the <a href="http://www.rosegoldpanda.com/2015/07/first-impressions-review-100-pure.html">Air Cushion Foundation</a> and now this, a Korean inspired sleeping mask. You have two options with this: 1) put it on, let it absorb, and wash it off <i>or</i> 2) massage in what doesn't get absorbed and leave it on overnight. I've used this twice so far, but have only done it the overnight way.<br />
<br />
The mask comes out of the tube as a thick cream that resembles toothpaste. Apply a generous layer all over your face and after 15 minutes, the mask becomes a liquidy oil texture which you can rub in. I don't use any other skincare products after that, so it stands in as my night cream. In the morning, I noticed a difference with how smooth my skin felt, especially around areas with healing blemishes. If your skin has been dehydrated, this will liven it up! <br />
<br />
The only thing I dislike about this is the cucumber-floral scent but overall, it's an interesting product that will give you a quick and easy hydration boost.<br />

<h4>
100% Pure Herbal Detox Mask*</h4>
Price: <a href="http://www.100percentpure.com/collections/face-masks-scrubs/products/herbal-detox-mask">$32.00</a><br />
<br />
I love a good detoxing mask to help keep my skin healthy and my pores clean. The best part about this one is if you put it on correctly, you get a tingling sensation! What I mean by "correctly" is don't put on a thick layer because your face will burn - it's that potent. All you need is a thin layer, so this 3.4 oz tube is a great value. I have normal skin, so I've been using it once a week. For oily skin, use it 3 times a week and for dry skin, use once or every other week.<br />
<br />
At first, I thought the mask was a liquid, but the product must have become separated because the next time I used it, it had more of a typical clay mask consistency. The mask dries pretty quickly, in around 10 minutes, and even though it's a detox mask, it doesn't dry out your skin. I'm usually not much of an "herbal" person, but I actually prefer the scent of this mask to the aqua boost - it's herbal but not overpowering. Out of all the masks I currently own, this makes the most relaxing masking experience because of the scent and the tingles.<br />
<br />
It's hard to recommend one mask over another because they serve such different purposes, but if I had to pick one, I would choose the Herbal Detox Mask!<br />

<br />
<a href="http://acureorganics.com/">Acure Organics</a> is a brand that makes skincare, haircare, and bodycare products.<br />
<br />
Their popularity stems from the fact that their products are natural and effective,
while still being affordably priced. There are some natural brands that are cheaper
than Acure, but Acure tends to use a lot of high quality and organic
ingredients for the price point. Some other reasons to like them: they support fair trade, sustainability, and breast cancer awareness (they recently made the <a href="http://www.acureorganics.com/product-p/2000.htm">Glamorganic Goddess Box</a>, where 100% of the proceeds went to supporting <a href="http://www.glamorganicgoddess.com/">The Glamorganic Goddess</a>'s battle with breast cancer).<br />
<br />
All Acure products are cruelty-free and almost all of them are vegan.<br />
All products are free of: parabens, sulfates, silicones, phthalates, synthetic fragrance, artifical colors, and harmful preservatives.<br />
<br />

<h4>
Where to buy it?</h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Target</b>: select products, full price</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Whole Foods</b>/natural grocery stores: entire range, mostly full price, sales sometimes</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://acureorganics.com/">Acureorganics.com</a>: If you're not looking to make a big order, I would
suggest buying directly from Acure's website because they have free
shipping with no minimum.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://pharmaca.com/">Pharmaca.com</a>: This is where I've found the best deals. Pharmaca often has 25-30% off sitewide coupons, so you can end up getting Acure for up to 50% off! Pharmaca carries multiple beauty brands and you get free shipping on $35 orders.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://goo.gl/fqTXiP">Vitacost.com</a>: If Pharmaca isn't having a sale, this is the next best thing. Vitacost has everyday low prices and they carry lots of natural beauty brands, as well as food/tea/etc. Free shipping on $49 orders.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://www.iherb.com/?rcode=JNP224">iHerb.com</a>: Tends to be a little more expensive than Vitacost, but still cheaper than retail and they have a $20 free shipping minimum. iHerb seems to be popular amongst people outside of the U.S. as well.</div>

Generally speaking, you can't go wrong with this brand. I have liked most of the things I’ve

My Top 5 Picks</h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>1. Brightening Facial Scrub</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is something that <i>everyone</i> needs to try. It's the best facial scrub I've ever used and was the first Acure product I tried. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>2. & 3. Moroccan Argan Shampoo & Conditioner</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wish I knew about this stuff back when I would splurge on haircare from Sephora. This duo works great on my dry hair. I also like the hair mask, but I recommend giving these a try first.<b> </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>4. Rosehip Oil</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Really, you need to own one of Acure's oils. Your skin will thank you. I think my personal favorite is rosehip, but I also enjoyed the argan and marula oils.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>5. Facial Cleansing Creme</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first 4 of these items came to mind quickly, but I had a hard time picking the 5th. I chose this cleanser because it's another good, basic item that most of you are probably looking for. I've recently tried some other cleansers through <a href="http://www.rosegoldpanda.com/2015/06/petit-vour-february-march-and-april-box.html">Petit Vour </a>and found myself yearning to go back to this one.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I hope you found this post helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.</div>

<h4>
Acure Foaming Shaving Gel*</h4>
Price: <a href="http://www.acureorganics.com/product-p/062.htm">$8.99</a><br />
<br />
There are two types of people in the world - those that use shaving gels and those that use whatever soap they have lying around. I'm one of the latter, but I did enjoy using this. The chamomile and cucumber scent is very refreshing. The packaging is pretty and the dispenser is easy to use. Press the nozzle and it pumps out. You don't need very much to shave because the product is actually a bit liquidy. I would say it's in between a liquid and cream, and not really a foam.<br />
<br />
There aren't a whole lot of natural shaving products out there, so if you've been missing your Skintimate, then I suggest you try this! Otherwise, I don't think it's something that you need to try if you don't already have a preference for shaving gels.<br />
<br />

<h4>
Acure Dry Shampoo*</h4>
Price: <a href="http://www.acureorganics.com/Argan-Stem-Cell-CoQ10-Dry-Shampoo-p/035.htm">$9.99</a><br />
<br />
Previously, I've tried the <i>Zabana Essentials Dry Shampoo</i> which came in <a href="http://www.rosegoldpanda.com/2015/06/petit-vour-may-2015-box-review-unboxing.html">May's Petit Vour box</a>. I'm a fan of shampoo so I haven't tested either of these dry shampoos too rigorously, but they seem to produce comparable results in the few times that I used them. Both are powders and both will absorb oil. The Zabana one has a slight coconut scent and the Acure one just smells like corn starch.<br />
<br />
I think the main difference is the packaging. Zabana Essentials comes with a nozzle which is probably the most efficient way to use a powder dry shampoo. Acure's has this strange nozzle puff thing that seems to aspire to make the product into a dry shampoo spray. You squeeze the bottle and it disperses the product into your hair. It actually disperses pretty evenly, but it's annoying to have to squeeze the bottle which is a hard plastic. And it makes the most obnoxious squeaking sound! I felt like I was doing something wrong, but a peek at the <a href="http://www.acureorganics.com/Argan-Stem-Cell-CoQ10-Dry-Shampoo-p/035.htm">reviews</a> on the Acure website was reaffirming. People seem to hate this packaging. If you don't want to bother, you can twist off the cap and pour the powder out, but at that point, I would rather use the Zabana one.<br />
<br />
I don't think Acure's dry shampoo is bad. It works fine, but the packaging is not great.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<h4>
Acure Unscented Argan Cleansing Towelettes</h4>
Price: <a href="http://www.acureorganics.com/product-p/050.htm">$6.99</a><br />
<br />
Ok, so I wasn't blown away by the shaving gel or dry shampoo but I love these makeup wipes (well they're technically for face and body but I use them on my face).<br />
<br />
They remove makeup without leaving any sticky residue behind, so these would be perfect to freshen up mid-day or to cleanse your face if you're having a rough night. The wipes do sting my eyes a little bit, but not as bad as some others I've tried. Although these are unscented, they have a subtle smell, which I'm guessing is from the olive oil and argan oil. 30 wipes per pack and you can find them at Target!<br />
<br />
Overall, not holy grail status because I'd still prefer something that doesn't sting my eyes, but they're the best I've found yet. <br />

<br />
This body scrub has been part of my weekly pampering treatment for the past few months. This review is coming late - I'm practically done with the jar so I can't really show you the consistency but it's too good not to share about!<br />
<br />
I'm no choco-holic (I'm that boring person that chooses vanilla ice cream over chocolate) but I <br />
still really loved the scent. It's sweet but not artificial smelling and was perfect for the winter and spring time. Once it became summer, it started to feel less warm and inviting and more sweet, which translates to sticky in my mind. If you're like me and like chocolate, but don't love it, I'd recommend this for the cooler months.<br />
<br />
The consistency of this scrub is perfect, in my opinion. It's kinda like a gel that's a good balance between physical exfoliants and moisturizing oils. Your skin will be soft after using this, plus I didn't have issues with it making the tub slippery!<br />
<br />
FYI: This comes in a "cool mint lemonade salt scrub" version too.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="border: 3px double rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 30px; text-align: center;">
Overall: I recommend this scrub!<br />
I'm personally not going to re-purchase it because I'm trying to go for more vegan products, but for those of you just interested in natural or cruelty-free products, this is a good one!</div>

Acure has a variety of oils available, which are most commonly used as facial oils. Read on to find out what I think about the 3 that I tested!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
These oils are:<br />
- all natural, un-refined, cold-pressed<br />
- cruelty-free and vegan<br />
- multipurpose; use them on your face, body, or hair. I only tested them on my face though.<br />
<br />
Available at: Whole Foods, Acureorganics.com, Vitacost, iHerb, Pharmaca<br />
(FYI: I was sent these for review and I don't think the small sample sizes are sold.)<br />

<h4>
Acure Argan Oil*</h4>
<br />
Price: <a href="http://www.acureorganics.com/Argan-Oil-p/023.htm">$12.99</a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>USDA Certified Organic </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">"A true skin SUPER FOOD! Incredibly rich in Vitamin E, Essential Fatty
Acids, and Proteins, Argan Oil helps fight lines, repair imperfections,
minimize scars + stretch marks; all while restoring texture, elasticity
and tone." <i>-Acure</i></span></span> <br />
<br />
This was the oil I wanted to try first because it's so hyped up! I can see why it may be a staple to some people because it is hydrating and can be easily used to amp up the moisture in other products, but I didn't think this stood out as more amazing than the other oils. This takes a bit of time to absorb compared to what I was used to with using jojoba oil, but it's more moisturizing. I wouldn't say the absorption time is long though and if you have dry skin, it'll probably drink it up. Like jojoba oil, argan oil is good for acne because it'll help your skin heal without clogging your pores.<br />
<br />
Acure's oils retain their natural color and scent, so the argan oil has a slight nutty smell. If you're not into that,
Acure has some "aromatherapeutic" argan oils available in coconut, rose, and citrus ginger. <br />
<br />
If you already know that you like argan oil or if you want to try it out, Acure's is very affordable for an organic oil (especially if you catch it on sale). I cringe at the fact that some argan oils go for 2-3x the price!<br />

<h4>
Acure Rosehip Oil*</h4>
<br />
Price: <a href="http://www.acureorganics.com/product-p/086.htm">$10.99</a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>USDA Certified Organic</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">"Rosehip oil is known as a balancing oil due to its low pH to help
protect the skin's natural acid mantle while delivering essential fatty
acids and vitamin E."<i>-Acure</i></span></span><br />
<br />
I noticed the most skin improvements while using the rosehip oil. I actually looked forward to examining my face in the mornings to see what progress was done during the night. Rosehip has been my friend, but it has a few downsides.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li> To keep fresh, this needs to be refrigerated, while the other two oils are stable at room temperature. I've read articles that say rosehip oil can go bad in 6 months, but will keep for 2 years in the refrigerator.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> The smell. It smells like freshly cut grass.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> It's heavier than the argan and marula oils, so I prefer to only apply it at night.</li>
</ul>
<br />
This is the only oil I have in the proper full size packaging, but all Acure oils come in these glass pump jars, which I like. Although the glass is transparent, I read that their particular glass is UV protected and will protect the oil as much as dark/amber glass (which isn't as relevant with the rosehip oil, but good to know for the others). Also, one pump of the rosehip oil was a little too much for me, so I try not to press it down all the way. This bottle is going to last me months and months, so definitely a good value!<br />

<h4>
Acure Marula Oil*</h4>
<br />
Price: <a href="http://www.acureorganics.com/Marula-Oil-p/041.htm">$15.99</a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">"Works wonders on dry, chapped skin, scars and fine lines; Reducing skin redness; Helps maintain skin’s natural acid mantle" <i>-Acure</i></span></span><br />
<br />
After realizing that I preferred using rosehip oil at night and a lighter oil in the day, I popped open the marula oil. I found the argan and marula oil to be similar, but the marula oil is a little bit lighter and has a sweeter scent that reminds me of vanilla lattes. For these reasons, I like marula more than argan!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://thebestorganicskincare.com/marula-oil-vs-argan-oil-which-is-better-for-your-skin">This</a> article is helpful if you want to learn more about the nitty gritty differences between argan and marula, in terms of composition and benefits. <br />
<br />
Downside: this one doesn't seem to be certified organic like the others, yet it's more expensive than the other two.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="border: 3px double rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 30px; text-align: center;">
Overall: I like all these oils but I think argan oil is a little overrated. If you look into the benefits these have for the skin, you'll find that they share a lot in common, so it's all about finding the oil that works best for you!</div>

<h4>
Aila Nail Lacquer in Doolish ($17)</h4>
This is a pretty peachy-coral color and the formula is 5-free. I don't wear nail polish though, so I've been tempted to subscribe to Vegan Cuts because they send out more makeup items and less nail polish. <br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
Nubian Heritage Mango Butter ($13)</h4>
I thought this was a sample at first, but this 4 oz tub is a full sized product. This body butter smells delicious, like mangoes and cream, and leaves my skin very soft. It's not gonna be a product that I use all the time, because you need to warm it with your fingers before applying and that takes more time/effort than I'd like to put in. I'm happy that Petit Vour included a more affordable product though!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
Luxe de Mer Gentle Cleanser ($9.75)</h4>
Subscribers got either a cleanser or a toner. I'm not thrilled to get a cleanser, especially since I got a cleanser last month too, but I do prefer this one over the Meow Meow Tweet one. To use this, you pour some on a cotton pad, wipe your face, and wash with water. I have been liking this for days I'm not wearing makeup and it doesn't irritate my eyes so I think I could potentially use this to remove eye makeup. The rose scent is nice too.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
Routine De-odor Cream in Sexy Sadie ($4)</h4>
This Routine deodorant is easier to use than Schmidt's (my current fave) because it has a creamy consistency that's not hard like Schmidt's. From the few times that I've used it, it seems to hold up comparably, which means it lasts all day with some fading but not enough to bother me to reapply. Schmidt's still has the upperhand though, because the lime-bergamot scent is the best smelling deodorant I've ever smelled and I don't like the spicy scent of "sexy sadie." I'll use this up though and I might consider trying other scents.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="border: 3px double rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 30px; text-align: center;">
Overall: I'll be using everything in the box aside from the nail polish. I wish that PV would send out less nail polish but I'm still content with this month's box. </div>

I'm reviewing <b>Thoughtfully Issue 2</b>, which was for Spring 2015. Their summer issue just came out, but I haven't gotten around to getting it yet.<br />
<br />
I heard about the magazine when it launched but I didn't look into it because I didn't find the cover too appealing. I decided to pick up their 2nd issue for two reasons: the cover had a much more conventional glam magazine look, and it seemed like a lot more people were reading it.<br />

According to the table of contents, this issue is split into 3 categories: <b>Culture & Travel</b>, <b>Fashion & Beauty</b>, and <b>Living, Wellness & Food</b>. Basically every few pages is about something different and to me, it feels a little all over the place in a bad way. It's like it's trying to offer <i>too much</i> variety. There are so many travel and food magazines out there that I'm surprised Thoughtfully didn't hone in more on the natural beauty niche. The magazine is a slim 80 pages and felt disjointed with so many different elements. I understand that they're trying to promote thoughtful living in multiple aspects of life, but to me, it didn't offer a very cohesive reading experience.<br />

<br />
In the beauty section, you'll find a lot of those typical magazine collages that have themes around certain products or colors. I read enough blogs to not need any more product recommendations, so I gravitated more toward the articles. I found the feature on Josie Maran quite interesting, as well as the other general tips that added more substance beyond displaying a photo of something and its price.<br />
<br />
I also liked the fashion bits. I don't follow sustainable fashion very closely, so it was interesting to learn more about it. My favorite part of magazines has always been the editorial photos, so it's cool to see photoshoots which used green beauty/fashion to achieve their looks. The creativity isn't up to par with publications like Vogue, but it's understandable as they are more established. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="border: 3px double rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 30px; text-align: center;">
Overall, I'm not totally sold on Thoughtfully yet.<br />
<br />
I don't feel like I get $8 worth of knowledge or inspiration, but it's still nice to have the option there for when I want a magazine. It could be good to take to the beach or to have when you're taking a break from technology, but it falls a little short of making me a subscriber.</div>

I got this lipstick set for $4.99! Read more for the swatches and review.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Cruelty-free. Not vegan (contains beeswax)<br />
<br />
Price: $4.99 at TJ Maxx & Marshalls<br />
<hr />
<br />
I bought this at TJ Maxx, but I've spotted it at Marshalls too. These are great stores to find affordable cruelty-free/natural products. I usually only look in their skincare and haircare aisles, but this box caught my eye.<br />
<br />
I was surprised to see it was Bellapierre and even more surprised to see that it was only $4.99 for four lipsticks! My only other experience with the brand is with an eyeshadow that I showed from my <a href="http://www.rosegoldpanda.com/2015/06/unboxing-green-beauty-swap.html">swap</a> awhile ago. I don't know too much about Bellapierre and their ordinary pricing, but this lipstick set retails for <a href="http://www.bellapierre.com/shop/mineral-lipstick-collection.html">$49.99 </a>on their website.<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
<h4>
Packaging</h4>
There are two variations of this set and this is the "evening collection" which includes:<br />
- Bellalicious (bright baby pink)<br />
- Couture (frost violet magenta)<br />
- L.A. Diva (nude beige)<br />
- Cherry Pop (deep berry red)<br />
<br />
I definitely would not pay anywhere near the full retail price because these come in cheap containers (think Wet n Wild, 99 cents) and aren't the best lipstick formulation I've encountered. For $5 though, I wasn't expecting much.<br />
<br />

<br />
<h4>
Formula</h4>
Aside from the packaging, these lipsticks also remind me of more conventional ones because they are super pigmented and smell like vanilla. They're creamy but it's to the point where it hugs my dry patches in an unflattering way. It's not as bad with the darker colors, so these are probably going to become the lipsticks I reach for when I don't want to "waste" my nicer lipsticks. Another option I have is to dab it on over other lipsticks.<br />
<br />
Something I'm disappointed in is that on the website, it lists Red 7 and Red 6 in the ingredients and I avoid synthetic dyes or anything with Red __, but I didn't catch it since they're not listed on the box under those names. If you're not a stickler for dyes, these could be some affordable natural, cruelty-free lipsticks to add to your collection.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="border: 3px double rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 30px; text-align: center;">
Overall: These are decent lipsticks that you might be able to find for an awesome price. I've seen other Bellapierre products at TJ Maxx & Marshalls too, so definitely give their makeup section a look! </div>

<h4>
Acure Facial Cleansing Creme*</h4>
Price: <a href="http://www.acureorganics.com/Facial-cleansing-creme-argan-oil-mint-p/011.htm">$9.99</a><br />
<br />
<i>For: normal-dry skin</i><br />
<br />
This is a cream cleanser that has a spearminty smell. It doesn't dry out my skin and it's supposed to cleanse "without stripping the skin's natural acid mantle." It removes my face makeup, but I avoid getting it near my eyes because it irritates them. Overall, I think it's a solid choice for an affordable vegan/natural cleanser and it's much more gentle than the other drugstore stuff I used to use. <br />

<h4>
Acure Facial Toner*</h4>
Price: <a href="http://www.acureorganics.com/Facial-Toner-rose-red-tea-p/013.htm">$12.99</a><br />
<br />
Note: my bottle says <i>normal-oily skin</i>, but the new packaging says <i>all skin types</i><br />
<br />
If you love toners or nice skincare in general, you should give this a try. It's got a lot of typical toner ingredients like witch hazel, rose water, and glycerin, along with some more unique ones like red tea (rooibos), calendula, and chamomile. The red tea scent comes out the strongest so if spraying your face with red tea doesn't sound appealing, then stay away. The nozzle sprays a fine mist and I dig the glass packaging. It feels like a little luxurious addition to my routine.<br />

<h4>
Acure Eye Cream</h4>
Price: <a href="http://www.acureorganics.com/eye-cream-chlorella-edelweiss-stem-cell-p/015.htm">$16.99</a><br />
<br />
<i>For: all skin types</i><br />
<br />
This eye cream is lightweight, moisturizing, and scentless but that's where my compliments end. I've been using it for 2 months and haven't noticed much difference. However, I use this more for preventative measures since I'm age 20 and don't have terrible wrinkles or anything. I'd recommend this to other young people because for an 1 oz eye cream, the price is a bargain, but I'm not sure how this would work if you need a serious remedy.<br />

Price: <a href="http://www.acureorganics.com/Day-Cream-gotu-kola-stem-cell-1-chlorella-grow-p/005.htm">$16.99</a><br />
<br />
<i>For: normal-dry skin</i><br />
<br />
My favorite item of the bunch. I love the light texture and it smells like oranges. On its own, this is enough to keep my face moisturized, but I usually pair it with an oil for extra nourishment (review of Acure's oils coming soon). The only bummer is that there's no sunscreen, but that actually might be a plus because I think it keeps the consistency light and versatile. You could wear it alone, with an oil, with another lotion, under makeup, etc. If you want an option with spf, <i>Andalou Naturals Daily Defense Lotion</i> is a good one that also smells like oranges. <br />

<br />
I decided to give Naturtint another go because they were giving away free boxes on their fb page, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to test them out one more time before moving on to other brands.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I covered application details in my previous review of 7N Hazelnut Blonde, <a href="http://www.rosegoldpanda.com/2015/05/natural-hair-dye-naturtint.html">here</a>. In this post, I'm going to be comparing my experiences.<br />
<br />
<h4>
My hair wasn't as dry this time!</h4>
<br />
I was more careful this time around. I left it in for 30 minutes instead of 40, I used the enclosed shampoo once instead of the suggested twice, and I conditioned twice - once with the enclosed conditioner and once with my own. This left my hair much more manageable than last time, so I'm happy about that because the previous experience was nightmare-ish.<br />

<h4>
Full size shampoo & conditioner?!?</h4>
I didn't talk about the box's shampoo and conditioner packets much last time, but since Naturtint included full sizes in the giveaway, here are my thoughts. For a supposedly "naturally better" brand, I'm not sure that the ingredients are all that clean. For reference, the shampoo rates a "2" and the conditioner rates a "4" on EWG. In addition to this, the shampoo drys out my hair and the conditioner works well in the context of hair dying, but I don't feel comfortable using it on a normal basis. They are also heavily fragranced.<br />

<h4>
Color vibrance / fading</h4>
I was disappointed that my color wasn't nearly as bright as the box. Mine was more of a red with a lot of brown tones. One of those "you need to be in the light to really see it" colors. I'd also like to note that both times, Naturtint didn't do much to lighten my hair. That may have to do with the colors I chose, but my roots stayed dark.<br />
<br />
Since the last color I used was blonde, it was difficult to get a sense of the dye's lasting power, but with this red, I have a better idea. After 2 weeks, my blonde was starting to come through, which you can see in the photo below. At 3 weeks, the dye was almost all gone (if you've seen my recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiRInv-zfNG1RrorvGR6SOg">videos</a>, those were at 3 weeks).<br />

I think I've had enough of Naturtint. Recommendations or insights on other natural hair dyes would be much appreciated!</div>
