Review: Korres Wild Rose 24- hour Moisturizing and Brightening Cream
(Repeat post from my eco-blog)
After I ran out of my Nivea moisturizer, I decided to go to Sephora to find a new, better moisturizer. After telling the saleslady that I had dry skin, she recommended a few different things but I liked the feeling of this the best. Korres is also known to use natural products and is animal friendly, meaning they do not use animal testing. This led me to purchase this product. This product is not tested on animals nor does it contain any animal byproduct, making it vegan.
Their packaging is also recyclable, this particular container is made of glass and the lid is plastic. According to the website, all packaging is recyclable (where facilities exist)
The difference this moisturizer has made is apparent. Skin is smoother and softer afterwards although I can't speak for its "brightening" qualities, I can say it does what a moisturizer is supposed to do.
This is what the product looks like after a little rubbing.
After more rubbing....The product is absorbed fairly quickly. It does not feel oily. It also does not feel like it "sits" on top of the skin.
Onto the Review - This moisturizer is recommended more toward normal to dry skin. It is immediately noticeable why. While it is not oily, it is thicker than a lot of other moisturizers. I like the consistency of this. The scent is of a mild rose scent. It is very pleasant to me, however, if you strongly dislike the scent of rose, I would not recommend this product. I've been using it for around 2 or 3 months and have not had any adverse reaction to it. I really like it and will likely be repurchasing. I have also recommended it to friends who have also purchased and enjoy this product.
This can be purchased at sephora for around $35 US. It should last around 3 months depending if you use it as a day cream, or a day and night cream. Please do not hesitate to comment is you have any questions and have a great day!

Origins: A perfect World Facial Cleanser Review
Origins "A Perfect World" Cleanser Review (A double post from my eco blog too!)
So, after I ran out of my previous cleanser from the drugstore, it was a clean and clear one I believe, I decided to try something new. I wanted to try something that would be better for my skin, but also the environment. Origins is known as an earth and nature friendly company so I decided to try it. I went to the Origins store and asked for a recommendation for a facial cleanser that is good for dry and combination skin. The lady recommended this one and I decided to try it.
It is great! It foams up nicely and does not dry or "tighten" up my skin at all. This product is supposed to help balance your skin and I truly believes that it does. I have never had a cleanser where I truly can feel the difference and this is the first cleanser I have ever used that has not made my skin feel "tight."I have been using this product for probably a little over a month and I still feel like I have hardly made a dent in it. It is priced around $20 US but will last you at least 3 months.
The scent is very mild and pleasant. If you have used an Origins product before, I feel most of the Origins products have a similar smell. It mades a face feel clean, but not tight, not oily, and not dry.
This is what the product looks like.
After a little bit of warm water
Lathers up and foams really nicely.
Overall, I highly recommend this product. It is gentle and cleans makeup off really nicely. It is formulated without parabens, pthalates, etc. Origins is also known to use earth friendly practices and renewable energy. Please feel free to comment if there are any questions and have a great day! :)

New Favorite!
Hey guys!
So...this is not going to be a makeup post today. I would like to RAVE about my newfound best friend/drink. i recently got a keurig, exchanged it for a tassimo. If you guys do not know what a keurig or tassimo are, they are single serve coffee makers, keurig seems to be the more popular one. I however, prefer the tassimo. the most awesome - est drink i absolutely LOVE are MOCHAS. Strabucks is AMAZING...but...can get pricey. the peppermint mocha from gevalia for the tassimo machine is AMAZING and i will NEVER get a peppermint mocha from starbucks again..as long as i have my stash because its limited edition >.< so yea....thats my rave.
Feel free to ask any questions about either machines :)
Hugs!
Mellie
