*Review* Raw Natural Beauty

I had previously reviewed the two mineral foundations that were included in the 7 piece kit so now here is my update on the rest of the kits contents! Sorry its sooo late after the first post but things have been crazy hectic the last little while!

First lets talk about the mineral glow bronzer. It looks very dark in the jar so I was afraid to test it out on a day where I had to do makeup for work or to go out just in case it looked really fake on me. I chose to try it out on a day that I didn't have any plans to go anywhere and didn't have to go to work that way I could wash it off as soon as I was finished if it looked bad. I do think it is slightly dark for people with very fair complexions like mine...it works ok if you blend it really well but then my face doesn't really match the rest of my skin especially in the winter, so right now I am not sure really if I like it or not. I will probably have to wait and try it again in the summer to see if I can get it to better match my skin if I am slightly tanned because right now it just looks odd that my face looks darker then my hands/neck/arms.

The mineral veil is great it doesn't have a colour to it so that works well for my skin. It has a fairly high SPF in it so I am probably going to save it for the summer as well since I don't exactly need the SPF coverage in the winter and am currently using a mineral veil that doesn't provide as high of an SPF then this one. The one thing I absolutely love about mineral makeup is that it seems to have a sheen to it that reflects light away from skin imperfections and gives me perfect appearing skin which is a huge selling point for me.

The brushes in this kit are great as well. They are high quality and work better for me then the brushes I was using before but I was using a cheapo brush set to begin with so its nice to finally have good quality brushes since they make makeup application easier and it takes less time for makeup application.

*Review* The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Facial Exfoliator

Image
I bought this stuff from The Body Shop when they had an emailed printable coupon for $10 off any purchase of $10 or more in August. It's a bit on the pricey side $13 for a 100ml tube but I got it for $3 and tax so a really good deal at the time. I can honestly say that I love this stuff and plan on buying more when I run out because it works really well for my skin. It is a little on the pricey side compared to what I usually buy but I think its worth it since the directions say to use it max. twice a week. I got it in August and have used it twice a week since and still have 3/4 of the bottle left! I don't use it on my whole face though just the areas that need it that way I get more use out of it. I also use an inexpensive tea tree oil face wash from St. Ives (around $3.77 a bottle). Pros dries out pimples really well even on my very oily skin keeps my skin smooth and soft for hours after washing my face is a gentle scrub not harsh like some scrubs can be on the skin lasts fo

Derma E Collagen Serum Review

I received this product free to test from Social Nature. If you are someone like me that has made the switch to mostly natural products then you definitely need to head over to Social Nature and sign up! It's the only site that I know about that gives you the opportunity to try natural products and post reviews.  Now, back to the product in question. This serum so far has been great on my skin. It smells pleasant and goes on smooth with no greasy after feel. It soaks into my skin well and doesn't pill when I apply moisturizer over top. It comes in a large enough format that I feel like it should last me at least six months of regular day and night use. I use one to two pumps in my hand and then rub together and apply to my face and neck. A little product goes a long way. In terms of noticing a difference in my skin I haven't really noticed much of a difference but I don't feel like I've used it consistently enough yet to accurately tell if it's working better
