| THE GREEN PRODUCT JUNKIE'S FALL FAVES 2013
INTELLIGENT NUTRIENTS
Destress Express Hand Therapy: I had tested this hand cream before it came out and immediately purchased it as soon as it was available. This is going to be a staple for me come the colder weather. Why do I love thee? It's hydrating, the consistency is like a gel/cream, it absorbs sooo fast (I have no patience for waiting for a hand cream to dry before putting my gloves - I know, First World Problems...) and it smells like minty heaven. $26
DR. ALKAITIS
Organic Eye Crème: I'm so happy the people at Dr. Alkaitis contacted me. I truly forgot how great their products are. First off, the ingredients are so pure that all of their products are edible. Now, I'm not suggesting you nosh, but I am saying this is a super clean line. The base of this eye cream is organic Aloe vera and it's so light, it feels wonderful going on. Again, it absorbs fast and leaves the under eye perfect for makeup application...I mean, perfect. I also love the smell of this...so natural. If you don't like heavy creams or oils near your eyes, I highly recommend Dr. Alkaitis' Organic Eye Cream. I'm really enjoying it. $60
GINGERCHI
Oral Detox: Okay, so you make your own Oil Pulling solution. I commend you for that, but I have to say that whatever I have made in the past paled in comparison to this. This is like thee oil pulling solution to beat all. I love using it.
But what, you ask, is oil pulling? From the GingerChi site: 'Based on the Ayurvedic practice of oil pulling, our Oral Detox combines sesame oil with healing essential oils to kill bacteria, strengthen the gums, and freshen the mouth. Unlike traditional mouthwashes that are harsh and dry the mouth, oil pulling works with your saliva to create an almost soap like effect that truly cleanses the mouth while strengthening the teeth and gums.' I wake up in the morning and before I eat or brush my teeth, I take a tablespoon of the Oral Detox and swish it around my mouth for 20 mins while I'm doing everything else. My teeth feel wonderful after, and at $15 for a gorgeous bottle, I think the price point is just right. RMS BEAUTY Demure Lip2Cheek: I'm big into pinks. With my fair skin and blue eyes, it just works better than anything else, so I'm always excited when a brand comes out with some new pinks. Demure? Oh, my! I just love it. I've been wearing it on my lips and my cheeks and, come Fall, I'll use it to give a simple flush of color over my cheeks. It's a great hue...something like a deeper baby pink, but definitely not Barbie. $36 SANS SKINCARE Whipped Face Butter: Creator, Renan Kennedy has created a line that is pure, effective and all homemade. She's new on the scene and really passionate about what she does. This mousse-like Whipped Face Butter is light and creamy to the touch, but is seriously hydrating. You only need a small amount for your entire face. I tried the Lavender, but she also has scents in Gardenia, Unscented, Lemon Lime and Sweet Orange. This comes in a good-sized jar and should last you for the entire Fall/Winter season. $35 Whipped Face Butter Ingredients: 100% Pure Plant Butters and Pure Plant Oils, Vitamin E Tocopherols, Carrot Seed Oil, Rosehip Oil, Patchouli Essential Oil, Frankincense Essential Oil, Ylang Ylang Essential Oil, Geranium Essential Oil, and Lavender Essential Oil. Moisturizing Sugar Scrub Squares: These are an absolute favorite. If you're like me and love a good exfoliation in the shower, listen up! These little squares are super exfoliating and take quite a bit of scrubbing to wear away. They leave soft and moisturized skin in their wake. One small scrub lasted me about 2-3 visits in the shower and I have to say, there's very few products I've tried that are as fun to use as this! 5 for $15 JANE IREDALE PureMoist LipStick: I was so happy to attend the launch event of the new PureMoist LipStick colors. I was even more excited to get my hands on them after having seen the new colors at the event. There is definitely a color for everyone and I think that this formulation is absolutely perfect. It's somewhere between a balm and a lipstick. It's hydrating and feels great on the lips. It smells fruity and I just love it! $25 *WIN IT! Jane Iredale PureMoist Lipstick of Your Choice!

Brooke because I normally choose pretty neutral shades. It's perfect with a hint of bright color!
ReplyDeleteIs this the jane lipstick you were wearing/mentioned at the green beauty event? It looked gorgeous on you!
ReplyDeleteYes! It's the perfect formulation. I wear Lucy, Renee & Lily constantly.
DeleteOo one of these days I need to get RMS lip2cheek. I mean, I already love RMS "un" cover-up.
ReplyDeleteFor the Jane Iredale. O man. So many look lovely! Ann seems like a berry (hehe) nice fall color. But at the same time Brooke or Liz look like very pretty pinks! I'd be happy with either of those. I generally do neutrals, usually w/ shimmer for eyeshadows. Makeup being kind of neutral.
What RMS Lip2Cheek were you thinking of getting? It's a great line.
DeleteHonestly, they wear so well, this Jane Iredale PureMoist line is one that I think you can't pick a bad color. Good luck & thanks for playing!
I would choose Annette for a fall lip color for me. I tend to go towards the berry or pinks. Kaylee would be my 2nd choice though.
ReplyDeleteHow can we get in touch with you?
DeleteI think Ashley would be a gorgeous fall color! (cmarielmbrt @ aol . com)
ReplyDeletePretty! I like them on fb! I think Ann or Mary would be perfect for fall! I would go with something more pink usually :)

I usually wear neutral shades with light pink or peach on my cheeks and shimmery browns/neutrals on my eyelids. I don't wear much lipstick because my lips tend to get chapped easily, so I am super interested in the PureMoist formula since it is hydrating and nourishing. I think would go with Lily, but it is hard to choose because all the colors are so lovely. My email is: deepriverblues@gmail.com and I follow on facebook.
ReplyDeleteI think Lily, Abigail or Theresa look the most compelling. I normally do very natural lips (pale, neutral, peach or pink) and am interested in these as they would be hydrating. I follow both you and JI on FB and can be reached at alibartolone@gmail.com. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI typically stick with neutral shades on the eyes and play up the cheeks and lips a little more with brighter or darker colors. I think Hannah is absolutely gorgeous and would be so perfect for fall and winter! kassieharris @ charter . net
ReplyDeleteYou're the winner! Congratulations and enjoy your new JI Lipstick when you receive it!
DeleteSo excited to find your blog just now in my hunt for a great concealer! As for Jane Iredale's lippies, Hannah Hannah Hannah! I love red-brown and muted rose lippies! I'm in SF and it's not really seasonal here, nor is my liking these fall-ish colors. Kathy @ beautyvalued dot com Off to read more posts now!
ReplyDeleteI recently started using Jane Iredale products, and I love everything I've tried so far. I was holding off on the lipsticks until these new PureMoist colors were launched. I see a ton of gorgeous colors, but my top pick would probably by Hannah. I tend to wear red lipsticks, but I should probably branch out. Naomi looks really nice, too.
ReplyDeleteSorry I forgot to include my email. It's jillkstuff@gmail.com.
ReplyDeleteWow, I would love to have the color Liz it looks like a red- pink that would be great for fall( I really like all the pinky ones though!). I normally wear neutral colors and sometimes purple on the eyes. I have never tried Jane Iredale products - I normally wear RMS or Vapour, but your recommendations are always great. I just received my NYL hand & body cream and I love it! Keep up the good work! (jred@comcast.net)
ReplyDeleteI'm SO happy you love your NYL. It's truly a great line. You will love the Jane Iredale lipsticks, trust me on this one. I love both Vapour & RMS Beauty, as well. Don't forget to try Ilia!
DeleteI think I'd like Ann. I usually go for pink/berry tones.
ReplyDeleteI definitely love Brooke. I only started wearing lipstick a few months ago when I found Ilia (Bing Bang), because all of the regular brands would make me nauseated (I lick my lips too much). I'd love to try out some pink/rosy hues, and Jane Iredale sound like a fabulous line!
ReplyDeleteoops! Bang Bang -- not too sure what Bing Bang is :)
DeleteI am such a neutrals girl, I cannot help it :) I want the colour Mary because it looks like a decent colour and it's my name!!! I also think it would look lovely with neutral eyes. xx
ReplyDeleteHard decision. I'll pick Rose. My color palette is neutral with little pops of jewel tones...
ReplyDeleteChloeee4u@yahoo.com
Oh wow, I love Brooke, Lily, and, of course, Sarah. LOVE these colors! That was a hard decision. Brooke is my #1 choice. I usually have a very neutral lip with brown, creme, pink and purple eyes. But Brooke is a nice pretty pink that would look great with my usual palette. :)
ReplyDeleteNice giveaway!
So glad you exist! You make the green beauty lifestyle so much easier. I appreciate all you do!
ReplyDeleteI would love, love, love to try Brooke. I feel like that color could worn for any occasion, and paired with most color palletes. :) :) my email: MakenzieEidson@gmail.com
Thanks for your consideration,
Makenzie
Hi!
ReplyDeleteMelody would be fun to try out, as it is a color I might not usually purchase on my own. Thanks for the give away option! :) my email is hillaryhubacker@gmail[dot]com
Ooops meant to say I don't normally purchase, since I buy mainly beige lipsticks or lip tints one or two shades darker than my normal color, a little mascara and a nuetral eye shadow if at all. Trying to step out of the box with color. ;)
