I'm going to strongly recommend you get on this. The best thing about Skin Savior? It is super multi-functional and can be used as a cleanser, pomade, moisturizer and, when mixed with mineral powder, a foundation. As a cleanser, it completely removes any makeup or dirt from your face and it moisturizes your skin. I find that with the majority of cleansers (unless it's oil-based) I have to use a toner afterwards to get any residual makeup off, but not so here. The shammy, a cloth that has a suede-like feel, really removes any and all traces of makeup. I just rinse the shammy out with some Dr. Bronner's soap and water after each use and I'm good to go. I also love that this 3-in-1 beauty balm has some of the best ingredients, too: coconut oil, mango seed butter, chia seed extract and vitamin E. Oh, and the scent is a light orange from the delicious orange peel wax. $48

| Love Buzz over Call Me on lips, Demure on cheeks & Juice Beauty's Eyeliner & CC Cream |
I've recently discovered that La Bella is a definite force in natural skincare. The second you open this mask up, you know you're in the big leagues, baby! This is not, I repeat, not your typical mask. This feels completely natural and you just know by the consistency that the ingredients are the real deal. La Bella isn't trying to give you a mask you already own or one that feels like a commercial brand; they've created a mask that is thicker going on and does what it sets out to do: hydrate, nourish the skin and gently exfoliate. I loved having this mask on my skin and felt like someone handmade this for me...it's that pure. Removing it was easy and my skin was hydrated, sooo soft and bright, like I spent the day in the mountains...which, being in the middle of NYC, I did not. This mask is recommended for dry and mature types, but I can't imagine that everyone wouldn't benefit from it. $60
Juice Beauty's Defining Eyeliner
My new favorite! You're probably wondering what can possibly make a black eyeliner interesting. But I love this. In fact, I haven't stopped using it since I received it. First off, the formulation is great; it's not too hard, not too soft and it's great for smudging (it comes with a smudger on the other end). I line the inside tops of my lids and then the top of the outer lids, smudge that and get a great smokey eye. On top of it all, the ingredients are stellar. $16
This lil multi-functional cream is getting a TON of buzz lately, mainly because it's so well done. What does CC stand for? Color correcting. The first time I saw this cream was on the creator of Juice Beauty, Karen Behnke. How do I know she was wearing it? She was glowing and I asked. I was immediately obsessed. So what will this jack of all trades cream do for you? Well, first off, it's got an SPF of 30, but it also hydrates, gives a nice tint of color to correct discoloration and gives a pretty radiance to the skin (and so much more). I really, really love this and think everyone should own it. As long as you need an SPF, why not have one that does so much else and leaves your skin looking so pretty and youthful? Oh, and a bonus is that it smells wonderful...a light herbal scent? $39
Not.A.Sponge
I'm very addicted to this now. Have you tried one of these yet? Hmmm...how to explain. Well, it's made from a vegetable super food called Konjac and it's a great addition to your cleansing routine. When dry, it's a stiff little guy, but when wet, it turns into thee most lovely, super soft and fun exfoliating/cleansing aid there is. It stimulates new cell growth and gets the blood flowing. I can totally attest to this as I've found my skin has a lot more life to it since I'm using it. It gives the skin that, "I just got back from working out" look...fresh and youthful. I tried the In The Raw sponge, which is the basic one, but they've got so many others and ones for the body, too. Oh, and it's 100% natural, biodegradable and vegan. $10-11
Kahina Giving Beauty's Fez Body Serum
Well, it's no secret that I love Kahina. I mention them every time I'm in a conversation with someone who is contemplating converting to natural skincare. Their argan oil the first thing I recommend next to coconut oil. So, it's no surprise that Kahina's Fez Body Serum knocks it out of the park with their new body serum. It's incredibly smooth...I mean, incredibly. It's just so well done that you know immediately when you pour it into your hands it's like nothing else out there...I'm not being dramatic, I'm being serious. Their standards are beyond. In terms of scent, if you love a warm, antique sandalwood/patchouli scent, you will be in heaven. $98
