Afterglow Mineral Cosmetics product review...

Organic Liplove Lipstick

Mineral Eyeshadow
Organic Glow BronzerOrganic Setting Powder

I get a lot of questions about mineral make-up and natural or organic make-up brands. I am not a regular make-up wearer but I do know that mineral make-up is much talked about these days. Afterglow Mineral Cosmetics is free of synthetic dyes, paraben preservatives and irritants. Afterglow offers a full range of make-up and colors which will make it hard to resist not ordering a ton of new make-up!
I was very pleased with the products I tried, my favorite being the Organic Lipstick do to the fact that I regularly wear lip color of some sort. My lips felt conditioned and soft after applying.
Overall, I am happy to see more toxic free make-up options and I am curious how the eyeliner would hold up... Click here to order online.

new products I can't wait to shower with...

I am so exited to try the new skincare range from Kings & Queens. The scents sound exotic and the packaging is amazing! I don't know too much about this new brand yet except I love the product design and all the products are mineral oil and paraben-free. Will keep you updated! Available at Nordstrom.

new organic skincare line...nude

Thanks to my connected roommate Sabrina, I found amazing new products in my shower by nude. Nude is a wonderful organic skincare line from the UK and soon be avaliable in the US launching at Barneys. My favorite were the facial scrub (pictured below) and the Monoi body oil. Also from the nude website I pulled a good summary of what they are all about...and I loved their opening question which is something we should all ask ourselves!! Considering our skin such a large part of our body!

Why do we feed our skin chemicals we would never consider eating?

nude is free from the chemicals you would rather your body didn’t absorb.

Our first priority is to formulate without ingredients which are irritating to the skin or potentially harmful to the body and we have minimised our use of preservatives by using airless packaging. Where necessary, we have selected a safe, non-irritating, synthetic preservative because the natural option caused skin irritation.

We will always choose organic ingredients wherever possible. However, some of the advanced ingredients we use, such as peptides from milk, simply aren’t available organically.

nude has not conducted, or commissioned any animal testing on ingredients or products and we actively support the development of alternative ingredient testing methods through sponsorship of the UK charity FRAME.
