Gorgeous Rose: The Modern & Cool New Rose Scent by Lurk Perfumes, Mun, Osmia Organics and NYL Skincare


Why does rose get such a bad rap?  Well, it shouldn't when we're talking about natural skincare and fragrance.  A real, beautiful rose scent is absolutely gorgeous, a synthetic one?  Not so much.  I've compiled my favorite rose products and hope you'll try them out because ahhh, they smell wonderful!

Lurk Perfumes - I recently wrote about Lurk here.  After writing the review, I became so obsessed with several of the fragrances that I just had to have 'em.  So, I ordered two of the ones that I found myself reaching for most throughout the day, RSW005.  This sandalwood/rose scent is so lovely, it's probably the prettiest perfume I've ever smelled.  Just to be clear, natural perfumes don't last as long as synthetic ones, so you'll be re-applying often.  Honestly, I use Lurk just for myself.  I put a bit on the tip of my nose and walk throughout NYC like I'm in an English rose garden.   Check out Lurk here. $55

Mun - Mun No. Aknari has been getting a lot of buzz lately and it's all well-deserved as this eye and face serum is both effective and heavenly.  Other than the fact that it hydrates perfectly, it smells amazing; a powdery rose that's so modern and pretty.  This serum is 100% organic and contains only three ingredients: Prickly Pear Seed, Argan Oil and Rose Essential Oil.  To read my full review of Mun, please visit here.  Get 10% off now using code:  TGPJMUN $95

Osmia Organics - No one (other than maybe Laurie from 312 Beauty) was more excited about Osmia's new Linden Rose Hand Cream coming out than I was.  I'm always so impressed with how professional, yet completely handmade, all of the products from Osmia are.  Linden Rose Hand Cream is what I would define as the perfect consistency.  It's of medium thickness, dries quickly and leaves your hands really hydrated without that greasy feel (I know you know what I'm talking about). With pure ingredients like aloe barbadensis leaf juice, shea butter and sweet almond oil, you know you're in good hands (ugh..bad pun).  $24

NYL Skincare - NYL's vegan cleanser smells just like a rose.  It's so pretty and light, a true pleasure to cleanse with.  So pure, this formula contains only organic rosewater, organic vegetable glycerin and organic castile soap.  This would be wonderful for super sensitive skin types.  The consistency is water-like and it's very gentle.  I like to use this in the shower with my Japanese Konjac Sponge.   To read my full review of NYL (Know Your Ingredients) visit here.  $28

heavenly mun no. 1 aknari nighttime dream youth serum...for face & eyes! Get 10% off here!


"I must not run out.  I must not run out..." 

That's what I keep saying to myself as I pump Mun No.1 Aknari Nighttime Dream Youth Serum onto my fingertips and press it into my skin every night before bed.  Gosh, I just love the stuff...and I've tried A LOT!

I was surprised to learn that MUN's No.1 Aknari was only launched last year as I'd heard so many great things about it.  The first product created by NYC-based makeup artist, Munemi Imai,  this organic and antioxidant-rich nighttime serum smells so calming and works so well, I can't imagine it not being part of my evening routine from now on.  

An extra bonus is that serum is to be used on the face and under the eyes AND during the day, so if you're a low-maintenance kind of person, this could be your face, eye and neck serum!

why am I so in love with this serum?
  • It's 100% Organic
  • It only has three ingredients:  Prickly Pear Seed, Argan Oil and Rose Essential Oil
  • As I mentioned, it's a multi-functional serum for face, eyes (for dark circles/fine lines) & neck!
  • Absorbs in good time.
  • The scent of a subtle powdered rose is intoxicating and has me running back for more every evening.  It's so brilliant to make something smell so relaxing just before bed.
  • The consistency of the oil is spot-on; it's light, yet you can still feel that it's moisturizing the skin.
  • Hydrates the skin beautifully.
  • Morning skin is clear, bright, soft, dewy and perfect for makeup application.
  • You can use it right before makeup as a primer, as well...just remember to wear your SPF!

Munemi Imai has been incredibly generous and wants to give you 10% off their wonderful No. 1 Aknari Nighttime Dream Youth Serum.  Use code: TGPJMUN.  
I hope you'll give this incredible face/eye serum a try as I really, really love it.  I think it's the perfect all-in-one serum and with this irresistible scent, oh, wow!   Have you tried this serum yet?  If not, what appeals to you about it?  $95

Earth Tu Face Makes A Truly Remarkable Natural Eye Serum...I'm Hooked!


EARTH TU FACE

A line that I've just heard of and entirely love:  enter Earth Tu Face.  

I was perusing Refinery 29 and saw a post they did on one of Earth Tu Face's products.  The brand's story, their look (simple and super modern) and purity really attracted me.

ETF STORY
The founders of Earth Tu Face are two herbalists from California, Sarah Buscho and Marina Storm.  

Their products are:
  • 100% plant-based, food grade ingredients.
  • Organic beeswax
  • Organic, virgin cold-pressed oils
  • reusable, compostable and recyclable containers (loooove that!)
  • Organic and wildcrafted ingredients
  • Made in the USA (woo-hoo!)


EARTH TU FACE'S
ANTI-AGING & RESTORATIVE EYE/REPAIR SERUM

I began using this several weeks ago as I had just finished my favorite eye cream.  I had never used an oil in my eye area before so I was certain that it would mess with my makeup application, but how wrong was I?   I'm now hooked.  I took this with me on vacation and absolutely LOVED using it.  It goes on so easily, dries super fast, hydrates and is so pure, your eyes will look smooth and hydrated.  You can also use this all over the face, but I've only used it on the eyes, as it's so precious to me.  

The ingredients are great...organic everything:  Olive Oil, Sea Buckthorn oil, Lavender, Chamomile, Rose Geranium, Ylang Ylang and Vitamin E.  

Another great thing about it is how little you need of it.  Just a tiny drop on your index finger.  
I'm so excited about this brand and am trying out their cleanser next.  

Bonus:  They also have a button on their site that tells you how to reuse your empty packaging from them.   

Please check out this brand.   Between their look, their products, the effectiveness of the products and what they're about, I know you're going to love it!  $56
