The New Things…HollyBeth Organics, Apoterra Skin Care, Lotus Wei + Jordan Samuel!

What’s new for me?  These little gems and they’re coming to you highly, highly recommended!

HollyBeth Organics Eye Cream

Don’t even try to tell me that you’re not using an eye cream or serum;  it is imperative. I’ve been using USDA certified organic HollyBeth Eye Cream for a few weeks now and I’ll tell you, it is super, super rich and ultra-moisturizing.  This is definitely one of thee most moisturizing eye products I’ve ever used. And for Winter?  Oy!  This is the best.  The consistency is that of a creamy, soft balm and it’s rich with ingredients such as healing Camellia oil (a natural UV protectant) and Vitamin E to reduce puffiness. You can also use it as a cold cream and lip treatment.  Although it’s really dense and hydrating, it is still perfect pre-makeup, somehow.   It also comes in a great-sized jar for an eye cream.  It’s a total winner, and it could not have come at a better time…I love moisture in the colder months!

Apoterra Skincare

White Clay Brightening Mask  So, uh, this really works.  This is thee best mask I’ve ever used for brightening the skin.  It’s especially amazing before a night out.  Gentle, it uses yogurt (one of my ultimate favorites for skin) herbs, minerals to detoxify to exfoliate and leaves the skin feeling completely brand new.  Takes away any ruddiness for me and leaves the skin soft and hydrated, never dry.  If you get one mask this year, may I recommend this one?  Oh, and it’s also totally affordable.  I love. While I’m at it, there’s a toner that Pemberley Jones just won’t stop raving about that I’m dying to try. She says it’s her favorite Winter product, the gel-like Apoterra’s Rose Hydrating Toner with Hyaluronic Acid + Rooibos.  I want to try it desperately!  Take 10% off with code: GPJ. 

Lotus Wei Anointing Oils

I’m a huge, huge fan of Lotus Wei.   Are you?  Honestly, there’s absolutely nothing from the line that I just don’t love. Every scent smells so heavenly and definitely lifts my mood.  Their latest offering, anointing oils, intrigue me.  To be applied 5x a day to pulse points, you can choose what you hope to accomplish: from openness and fearlessness to contentment and loving life more.  If you’ve never experienced Lotus Wei, I’m thinking that now might be the best time for you to do that with their new oils.  My favorites?  Joy Juice and Infinite Love.

Jordan Samuel étOILe and Hydrate

Jordan Samuel’s skin care is unique in that his products respect the skin and work along with it, instead of fighting against it like many products are designed to do.  It’s a truly brilliant concept and one that definitely works for me.   Jordan keeps it basic by using high-quality ingredients, not confusing the skin with unnecessary fragrance and ingredients and making hydration and healing the goal. His line is truly designed for all skin types, including sensitive.

étOILe face oil is a perfect moisturizer, multivitamin and antioxidant treatment all in one.  It absorbs so quickly that applying makeup immediately after is not a problem at all.  It’s light and has lots of heavy hitters like cranberry seed oil (“the only oil to contain a 1:1 ratio of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, as well as all 8 vitamin E groups”) and skin care star ingredients, Argan and Marula along with vitamin C ester and CoQ10.

Hydrate is a knockout product.  I’m a huge lover of all things gel and this serum is perfect for applying at anytime (even over makeup).  It’s feels like thick water (I know, odd description, but it’s spot-on) and feels like the most refreshing liquid when you’re applying it.  I keep this in my fridge and apply it throughout the day.  If you’re not a fan of face oils, this is going to be your new best friend.  Sensitive?  Oh, you will in love.
