What I’m loving for Spring and make sure to look out for some deals, too!

Inika Makeup

Woo-hoo!  The Choosy Chick is the first US retailer to carry this clean cosmetic line straight from Australia! Everything from this brand is looking really, really good and Margot from The Choosy Chick swears by the line. Inika has powder and liquid foundations, BB Cream, lipstick, bronzer, liners, blush, highlighters, shadows and more!  This line is cruelty-free, toxin-free, vegan and environmentally-friendly, too.  From what I understand, it’s been selling like crazy, too.   I’m going to be trying out this line soon and can’t wait!

The Beauty Chef’s Glow, Collagen + Antioxidant Boosts

I’ve been intrigued with The Beauty Chef for as long as they’ve been out.  My favorites? The organic Collagen and Antioxidant Boosts. You just add a tablespoon of these to your water (they have a light, fruity flavor) and you’re good to go.  My skin is looking bright with less ruddiness and my nails are growing like crazy.

Glow  Could I actually be addicted to this stuff?  I’m on my second jar and I really love it.  It had been recommended to me so many times, but I just never got around to picking it up.  Glow is filled with antioxidants, minerals, vitamins and, my favorite probiotics to help your gut and therefore…your everything!  I add a scoop of this to my water each morning and look so forward to it.  It also has superfoods packed with amino acids and essential fatty acids.  Take care of the gut and you take care of the body!  Love it. DEAL:  Take 10% off site-wide at Citrine Beauty Bar with code: TGPJ here.

Collagen Boost  gives additional nutritional support and helps increase collagen to help plump up the skin from the inside!  Great for anyone who is looking to get some extra firmness and wants to address fine lines.  I’m sort of addicted to having my glass of this every morning.  Collagen Boost contains more than 6-billion prebiotics and probiotics and has no artificial colorings, flavorings or preservatives.  It’s also diary, sugar and gluten-free.  DEAL:  Take 10% off site-wide at Citrine Beauty Bar with code: TGPJ here.

The Antioxidant Boost is support for both the skin and body against free-radical damage and cellular aging.  The more I learn about how crucial gut health is for mood, skin conditions, etc., the more I’m making sure to take my probiotics each day.  This boost contains organic papaya leaf, fruit and seed and pomegranate, green tea and vitamin E.  This supplement also helps to combat the effects of sun exposure, pollution, alcohol and stress!

Lily Lolo

Honestly, I’m thrilled that there seems to be a bit more makeup out there for us in green beauty.  In an industry that’s overflowing with face serums, there’s nothing like some new makeup releases.  This London-based natural cosmetics line is gluten-free, non-GMO and bismuth oxychloride and petroleum free has gorgeous colors, dewy lipsticks and gorgeous gloss.  The majority of the line is vegan and, from what I hear, their big hits are their BB Cream, Mascara, Eye Shadow and Lipstick (which I love).  Oh, and I’m totally lusting for this Smoke + Mirrors Eye Shadow Palette, pretty, right?

Odacité Deep Hydration Mask

More and more often I find myself seeking out hydrating masks.  Not only do I get a TON of emails requesting recommendations for them, but it just seems like finding a truly great one has been a challenge.  So, it was of no surprise that I more than happy to test out the gluten-free Odacité Deep Hydration Mask.  This mask is so fresh, it even arrived with a card informing me of the date that it was made (cool, right?)  It was recommended to me that I keep it in the fridge (that’s how fresh they are) and I have to tell you that it works wonders.  I leave it on for as long as I wish and my skin is soft, hydrated and feels dewy and renewed.  Key ingredients?  Organic Olive and Jojoba oils, Organic Calendula, Vitamin E and Hyaluronic Acid.

Priti Polish

Brand new at Integrity Botanicals, it’s Priti Polish.  These nail polishes are 8-free, vegan, gluten-free and cruelty-free, too.  The colors are absolutely gorgeous with colors ranging from crazy electric blues to beautiful muted nudes (also check out their gorgeous peaches).  They are free of toluene, dibutyl phthalate, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, and camphor, xylene, parabens & TPHP.  I own many of these and they are just as wonderful as conventional polishes.
